Kossuth and the Hungaraans-Forgeraes
-louthtW Bmance--Frauds by the
Coroaer-'1ht Sacan Of Erin'-Law-
Sut CetUeen Edators, &c, &c.
Mr.. EDlroE:-We are in something
of a 1utter expecting the arrival of the
great hossuth. The major part of his
suite reached US by the U. S. frigate
Mississippi; but as he is the "sweetest
part OF the sui'e" in question, and he
will be here, at arthest, on the 2Sth inst,
and we are bound to transcend our trans
atlantic friends in every possible dem
onstration OF admiration for this distin-
guNhed Patriot, you may imagine our
excited condition. The Hungarians
who have reached us in the frigate, num-
Der over 40. and several are Ladies of
very Prepossessin5 manners ard appear
ance. Some are the wives of celebra-
ted men, and al! are connected, as rela-
tives, with greater or less-representa-
tlves OF the late republican government
Of Hungary. Bathyane, who landed in
france, had some parti. ans on board op-
posed to kossuth's precautions to the
gubernatorial power; Int the remainder
are intensely devoted to the bold May
gar, and eagerly await his comirg.
kossuth only designs to remain in this
country for few weeks, it seems. He
purposes to live in England, in erder to
be able, at an auspicious moment, to
serve the cause ofliberty in Hungary.
The mysterious forgery cases of last
Wednesday are still under investigation.
The Banks have been detrauded to a
pretty heavy amount, and the signatures
Of many we'll known firms counteneited
with singular adroitness. The parties
now under arrest are, like Brutus, all
"honorable men, and the expose, is lit
tie plquante on that account. One es-
capped from the officers, and was found
in bed in the Hospital where he had
gone, and pretending to be sick man
Just from California, had obtained i'm
mediate admittance. Cunning trick
/ a lot OF romantic boys have been dis
covered here, in Brooklyn, who had ex-
cavated for themselves rooms under
ground, in nice retired spot, where
they were residing with sort ofrude
comfort that was truly poetic, if not
precisely perfect. They had been read
ing novels, and felt disposed TO aban-
don their "stony-hearted papas" and
their ''ineXorable mammas," in order to
indulge in precocious independence. 1t
was thought that they designed to fur
nlsh themselves In Robin Hood, from
the alleged superiiuties of their neigh
bors, and SO the police interlered to save
their morals.
The affair of the Coroner, who is ac-
cused of obtaining money out of the
public treasury by charging the county
for several times as many inquests as he
ever held, is still under the advisement
OF the Governor. As jurors names have
been forged to every fictitious inquest,
and every account has been regularly ;
sworn to, the lupsus charged is rather
serious, though it is believed that our
Coroner, even in this, has only "follow-
ed in the footsteps of his ''illustrious
predecessors" At present he is down on
his bed with paralysis, and may possibly
not recover.
The quarrel between Catharine Hayes
and her managers, appears to have been
occasioned by some fraud discovered in
the arrangements of contracts between
New York and London, in which Lon.
don was getting all the profits, and the
"Swan OF Erin" with her business men
here, getting all the loss. So she for.
feits $4,000 and throws up her en-
sagements.
Our streets are sadly infested witt
midnight villlans-a murder, as well al
a number of assaults, robberies &C., Seems
to be anticipated every night. We
have had some serious fires, too, lately
and on Thursday last an explosion at ;
Iirework Manutactory, in which severa
lives We're lost.
The case of Franklin &. May Us Col
Jno. S. Du Sole, both of Philadelphl
and of the Press, was decided here be
fore the Supreme Court on Saturday
DuSolle sold May part of site Spirit Q
tile 7imes' OF Philada. DuSolle's part
ner, Mr.. Penniman, sold the whole pa
per afterwards, and said DuSolle ha
owned none OF it. May sued DuSoll
here for fraud. The court held tha
there was no traud-that DuSolle di
oun-that his arrest was illegal, but d
it was only nominal, he must not prose
cute May for false imprisonment
The weather Is wet and unpleasant.
