FINANCrERrNG IN IuiLApElrnA. A few
days ago, man put up at Sandcrson's Frank

entered his name on the books az f. VIII. On
Thursday he called upon the clerk of the estab-
! lishment to 20 with him into the Bank Of North
America and vouch for his being the individual
who put up there as f. Viii. This was done,
upon which the bank paid him the money upon
two drafts purporting TO be drawn by the Nor
folk Bank, ono for 81 and the other for about
500. ltappears that shortly after this the same
individual presented at the counter of the bank
another draft for 5000, which was paid scarce
| ly, however, had he departed when it was disco
vercd that the draft had been altered from a
draft for 500. This fact was Immediately
communicated to Mr.. Sanderson, and Mr.. Viii
was arrested, carried before the Mayor, and
committed for a further hearing.
NAVAL AND MILITARY MOVEMENTS. We
notice in all directions that the military and
naval force Of the country are preparing SO as
to be brought into requisition at a moments
warning. The U, 5. trigate Congress, at Nor
/ folk, and the brig Boxer, at Charlestown Mass
have received orders to prepare for sea mme-
diately. The L. s. ship Falmouth sailed from
Pensacola on the 25th ult for the Gulf OF Mex
leo. The Potomac, Saratoga and Lawrence
are probably on the Coast of Texas. Orders
have been received at Detroit for the whole Of
the 9TH Regiment Of Infantry to rendezvous at
Jefferson Barracks, preparatory to proceeding
to Texas. On the 9th inst. companies c. and
D. of the 4th Infantry, arrived at New Or
leans, en- route for the seat of war.
FIRE IN New YORK. A fire broke out on
Saturday morning, about three o'clock, in the
building of Mr.. Chauncey marble cutter, in
IIammond-st The fire commenced in the up
per part of the building, and destroyed it en-
tircly, extending 10 Mr.. Howel's mandatory
ofiron pales, adjoining, also to the oil factory
Of Mr.. Pell, in the rear, to Morgan's soap fac
tory on Wcst-st., destroying it, and injurng Sc
veral other small buildings in the neig lborhood.
Mr.. Chimney had no insurance. Mr.. Nor
gan's loss was S35 ,000-insuranco $4,000 in
the Croten office. Mr.. Pell not insured. Mr.
Howell not insured-loss $500 to $500.
u. S. NAVAL FORCE IN THE GULF. The
Washington Constitution says that ''the Uni
ted States squadron in the Gulf of Mexico is
ample for any emergency likely to arise in that
quarter Including the steam frigate Mississ-
ipPi, now on her way, it will consist often YES
sells of war, mounting over two hundred guns"
This, we believe, is a larger force than has ever
baen heretofore concentrated under the COM
mand of any naval officer IN om service. On
the western coast Of Mexico there is, or shortly
will be, eight of our vessels OF war, and this
force will be increased by the vessels of the
East India squadron, now on their way home
WAR WITH Observation-Disclosures We learn
from the Philadelphia papers that a number Of
the officers of the Brigade commanded by Gen.
A. l.. Roumtort, Of that city, have already vo-
lunteered their services, and he has as prompt
ly rendered his own and their services to the
General Government in case of war with
Mexico We have no doubt but the Volunteer
companies of Baltimore will be ready and will
ing to tender their services also, should they
be required.
