AN IMMENSE FRAUD UPoN THE GovEh

AN IMMENSE FRAUD UPoN THE GovEs
MEsr-The New York papers throw out some
mysterious hints in relation to an immense
fraud upon the Government The Herald
says:
SIT is stated that one of the heaviest Mexi-
can claims, amounting to several hundred
thousand dollars, has been discovered to be
fraud. We learn that the party owning the
claim sold it to several rich capitalists here
and in Washington before it was allowed by
the Commissioners, and received a little less
than one hundred thousand dollars of the sum
awarded, with which he has gone to parts un-
known"
The Tribune has the following:
awe are in possession Of the name of
party who is charged with having committeda
fraud on the General Government, under which
he has obtained nearly half a million OF dol
lars without shadow of right. The Whole
evidence by which he obtained this immense
sum, he is stated to have confessed was false
and the Government are now in possession OF
the information which will probably lead to
the arrest of the guilty party, who is about to
leave the country for Europe" ~.

DIREcT FOREIGN TRADE WITH CHARLESTON
5. C.-For some time past the advantages to
be derived from this State importing directly
such foreign articles as she may require, have
been loudly proclaimed, both by individuals and
the press, and we are now gratified in being en-
abled to state, that our citizens will be in po-
sition to Judge practically of what they have
hitherto--save and except to very small extent
merely had theoretical knowledge. Our
citizens have in future determined, wherever it
may be practicable, to obtain such foreign mer-
chandze as it adapted to our market, direct from
those countries wherein they may be mnnufac-
tured. AS an instance of the correctness of our
assertion, we can point not only to the brig
Paul L. Jones, Just arrived here from Rio jan
GIRO, with a cargo of coffee but state that the
British ship Grasmere was, on the 18th March
last, loading at Calcutta for this port, with salt
petre, and that most necessary article for cotton
bagginc, gunny cloth-heretolore obtained in
Boston or New York. We hail this movement
with much satisfaction and have little doubt
but that the energy, and zeal and enterprise in
this instance, will not only yield ample profit,
but be of considerable advantage to our citizens
generally, inasmuch as it will instil into the
minds of the commercial community at large, n
portion of the same vigor which is only necessary
to render Charleston second to no city on the
shores tie Atlantic Charleston (S c. Cor

A COMPANY OF MORMON EMIGRANTs from
England reached ST. Louis from New Orleans a
few days since en- route for the Salt Lake. The
ST. Louis Republican says:
We do not yet see the "begnning of the end''
OF the English Mormon emigration to this coun-
try. There are now in England and Wales from
$4,000 to 100000 persons of the Mormon per-
suasion, who are patiently bidiug their time and
change for voyage to the Mormon home in
Salt Lake Valley. They are aided in their e.-
forts by well organized societies and agencies.
They are mostly persons of limited means, how
ever, and twenty years hence, probably, they
will not all have reached our country. We are
informed that the in-pouring during the coming
fall will be unusually large.
