We assure the "New York Sun" that we are @

EXTENSIVE roReERKs.--A series Of forgeries
were discovered at Philadelphia on Tuesday, SAYS
the Ledger, by which several business firms, and
two three banks losers to the amount Of about
l5,OOO as far as is ascertaned the present time
They were perpetrated by Thomas VIM, who has
kept for several years an extensive wholesale and
retail establishment in Second street, below Mar
ket He is presumed to have been in the habit of
carrying on his business by means of forged paper
for the past year or more. The forgeries have
principally been in the name off relative and those
OF various firms doing retail business along Second
street. He had been in the habit of depositing the
paper forged by him in the hands of the merchants
from whom pc made purchases, collateral secu-
rity, when not able TO negotiate the notes. Messrs
Brown q Bowen are sufferers TO between three and
four thousand dollars. Myers, Claghorn, a Co.
have also suffered, as well as the Mechanics and
Pennsylvania banks. The author Of these FORGE

families Of Philadelphia. He has left that city, and

NEW USE ron THE rELEeRArH.-A correspond
cnt of the New York News suggests a valuable
purpose which may be attained by the magnetic
ielegrph-thus:
'sThere is one use to which the magnetic tele-
graph may be put on our Atlantic coast that have
nowhere seen noticed il is in telling Of the APP
proach Of northeast storms. IL is well known that
they commence in Philadelphia often some hours
sooner than here, and farther south; At Baltimore,
Washington or Norfolk, still earlier and here, be-
fore they commence in Boston Now, word could
be sent ahead Of any hurricane storm, from sta
ton TO station, and thus prevent the loss Of many
richly-laden vessel. For, instead Of leaving port
only TO beat against the wind, get on lee shore,
they could remain securely moored at the wharf
I'll the storm is over. Not only may the merchant
and mariner be benefited but all classes, especially
the farmer, who might be notified of the approach
of northeast st rm over considerable extent Of
country, and thus in harvest time, save thous-
ands Of dollars worth Of hay and grain. Why,
am not sure but that we shall see the time when
we will look at the newspapers for the latest mag
netic intelligence, 80 as 20 know whether to take
our umbrellas along with Ne or not"

the weld Of wheat certainly Increase nor do the &C
counts of the quality improve The loss IN weight
alone is serious consideration; supposing the same
to be three pounds per bushe on the entire quantity
grown--which is a moderate computation--and ta-
king the whole produce of wheat of the United
Kingdom, in an average year, at 10000, 600 ars.,
this item alone would make difference of n million
Of quarters.
These considerations have had some influence
with holders Of wheat and the disposition to sell at
present prices has much diminished. Those parties
who have still stocks of old, naturally conclude that
the superiority of last years growth over that of the
new will cause il to command a ready sale at any
period and, though fair supplies of new have been
brought forward by the growers, they have refused
to SELL except at enhanced rates The increasingly
unfavorable reports relative to the potato crop nave
also had their weight and the trade has assumed a
decidedly firm tone.
Whether any immediate advance of Importance
will occur in the value of wheatj will probably de-
pend in great measure, on the weather; but, how
ever suspicious the latter may become, We feel toll
eraby that the price Of bread-stufs must, later
in the year, rise materially.
Not only is the crop short in this country, but the
harvest has been defective the greater part OF
continental Europe. In Holland and Belgium, the
fact is so well ascertained, that the government Of
the former country has deemed il prudent 10 reduce
the duties on grain to the minimum point; while all
restrictions upon the import of corn into Belgium
have been removed for given period.
Already, numerous orders have been received from
Rotterdam, Antwerp, &C.; and the moderate stocks
Of bonded corn are likely to be shortly reduced into
very narrow compass, if not exhausted, by ship
ments to countries from whence, in ordinary years
we are in the habit of drawing some portion of oul
foreign supplies. In the Baltic ports, Great Britain
must expect to be outbid by the Dutch and Begi
ans; and in the Black SEA, wheat has lately beer
bought up to supply Italy, where the crops are sta
ted to have yielded indifferently.
1t seems, therefore, that unless prices advance
materially in this country, we are not likely to
draw any quantity of wheat from abroad.

FOREIGN MARKETS.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Sept. 26-There is
no alteration whatever to notice in the price of cot
ton this week. The demand, which has been mod
crate only, has been fairly met by holders, bu,
there has been no pressing to sell. $500 Ameri-
can have been taken on speculation and 400 Amer.
lean, 200 Pernams, and 200 Egyptian for export
$50 Egyptian, 300 Barbados, and 800 Madras are
declared for auction Friday next. The total num-
Der of sales during the week amount to &C. 400 bales
Another report says general dulness has pervaded
the market during the week. the trade having pur-
chased sparingy, and spectators only to a moder'
ate extent; nevertheless, prices do not perceptbly
give way, though in some instances rather lower
rates have been accepted.

TIE MACKENZIE BooK.--The vice chancellor OF
New York was on Monday engaged in hearing the
argument Of counsel, (Mr. Strsughton) for the de-
PENDANT, Mackenzie, at the suit Of Jesse Hoyt,
which was extended TO great length He contcnded
that II the injunction was not dissolved then was
the liberty Of the press set at nought the book
contained much valuable matter which had no con-
nexion whatever with Hoyt-his letters not filing
much space in the book, and hose Of his political
friends not occupying more than one-third. The
vice chancellor said il would have been impossible
to grant an injunction against any part Of book
after publication. II the injunction had been before
the book was published, then il might have been
solely directed against the letters After few other
remarks from counsel, the court adjourned.
There was a number Of prominent politicians Of
both parties in court. The decision will be looked
for with much interest-PhiL Ledger.
