The funeral car was mngniicently clac'

York, received drafts uponthem amounting
to $4,000, from San Antonio and other
places in Texas, drawn upon them
without any authority. The drafts were
cashed by various Par1iesin Texas on the
faithof a forged letter Of credit purporting
to be issued by Rowland & Aspinwall,
and directed to Capt. Parker II. French,
commander of an overland expedition to
California, which left here about six
months since. It is thought probable that
Capt. French's name is also a forgery.
