ATLANTIC STEAMERS.

The New York Express has received
from Washington, the Postmaster Gener-
ais Report, on the subject of contracts,
with various parties, for running steam
boats, agreeably to call of the House.
From the contract mads with Edward
Mills, he will complete by the lst of
March, lS47, first class steamship, not
less than 400 tons, of 1000 horse power
to carry the mail from this city to Cowes
and Bremen, and to return once in two
months By the lst of August, 1S47,
another similar boat is to be completed,
and run so that three trips shall be made
once in each month, to and from Europe.
By the lst of March, lS4S, two more
similar boats are TO be in readiness; after
which the trips are to be made twice in
each month. The boats are to be built
with every modern improvement, snbject
TO the inspection of the Government, with
greater speed than the Cunard steamers,
and to answer for war steamers if neces-
sary. Each alternate trip they are to
proceed to Havre instead of Bremen. The
compensation is to be 100000 dollars
for each steamer, or four hundred thou
sand dollars per annum. The gentlemen
who have guaranteed and who are inter-
ested IN this contract, are merchants and
ship-builders of the very first character
and responsibility, and arrangements are
made for the fulfllment of the same.-
There is not the slightest doubt of their
ability 10 carry the whole plan out, and in
manner that will do credit to the coun-
try

Important Arrest of a Counter.
feiter.

We learn from the New York Jour
nal of Commerce of the arrest Of man
named JAMES III. NEwALL alias HGwETT
of Philadelphia, notorious counterlelter
who has long evaded the officers of JUS
tice. Onhis person was found large
quantity Of Bank note paper with an ele-
gantly engraved copper plate of 50 de-
nomination of the Farmers Bank OF Bal
timore, Nd. and large amount of Coun-
terfeit Bills ready for circulation.
The following is catalogue of the
plates recovered, viz: SO plate for
making bills on the Bank of Commerce Of
this city; So plate on the Honesdale
Bank of Pennsylvania; S5 plate OH the
Orange Bank of New Jersey, and the
following plates without any denomination
engraved on them, viz: The Merchants
Bank of Cheraw, South Carolina, on the
Bank of Northumberland, Pennsylvania,
the Manufacturers and Mechanics, Phlla-
delphia, Bank of Chester County, Penn
svlvania, the Bank of MoyamensIng,
Philadelphia, the Bank Of Pennsylvania,
the Bank of the Northern Liberties,
Philadelphia, the Bank of Schenectady,
New York Safety fund, the Farmers and
Merchants Bank of New Jersey, Bank of
Delaware, Wilmington, Farmers and
Merchants Bank Baltimore, Lancaster
Bank of Pennsylvania, Lebanon Bank of
Pennsylvania, Western Bank Of Balti-
more, Bank OF Smyrna, New Y ork though
the Bank is in Delaware,) Kensington
Bank, Philadelphia, West Branch at
Wiliiamsport, Pennsylvania. There
were also 80 little slips of copper plate
with quonominational figures, vignettes
and some with the counter signature of
the Comptroller for the ends of bills. A.
bout $4,000 of the counterfeit bills,
signed &C., from one TO 800, were found
also three $1,000 bills on the Merchants
Bank, New York, ready for the sigua-
tures-well executed and calculated 10
deceive good judges-also from $4,000 to
$4,000 in promiscous bills of all denomin
ations and on different banks-not filed
up or signed. Newell, is now locked up
in the office Of the chief Of Police for
trial. By the actitee fforts OF Officers
Stevens and Hays, and the Chief of Po-
lice-all the above discoveries and re-
coveri have been madc-and the trading
community and the banks saved from the
mundatlon of large masses of counterfeit
paper-so well executed that Mr.. Raw
don, Wright, Hatch & Co, declared that
the plate on the Farmers and Planters
Bank of Baltlmere, was most perfectly
finished affair, and well calculated to de-
ceive.-Bicknell.

THE POTATOE DISEASE.

The accounts Of Irish distress in the
papers arc heart rending. The Evening
Post gives the following extract of let
ter from the Rev. w. r. Townsend,
rector Of Aghadda, diocess of Cloyn.-
The communication is addressed to a
medical friend in n. Y. city:-"1n this
part of Ireland we are in frightful state,
the humber classes all living on the con-
taminated potato. The sides of fields
and gardens are literally covered with
rotten ones, thrown away. The detail of
destruction is endless. That employ
ment should Ebe wanted for the people,
while one third of Ireland is as much
waste as the woods of Canada, and the
rest badly cultivated, not afording half
labor, IS a strange anomaly

orders, and rushed among the Avitable
troops, driving them from under the bank,
and exposing them once more to the dead
Iy fire of twelve guns within 800 yards.
The destruction was very great. as may
be supposed. by guns served as these
were. Her Majesty's SD Regiment mo-
we'd forward in support of the 3Oth n. l.

was won; our troops advancing with the

The enemy, completely hemmed ln'
were flying from our fire, and precIplta-

itzers soon began to play upon their boats'
when the s.debris'' of the Sikh army ap-
peared upon the opposite and high bank
of the river, flying in every direction. al
thouqh a sort OF line was attempted TO
countenance their retreat, until all our
olns commenced furious cannonade,
when they quickly receded. Nine guns
were on the verge of the river by the ford.

Two others were sticking in the river;
one of them was got out. Two were
seen to sink in the quick-sands,-two
