- JAMES FENNIMoRE COOPER TESTIMONIAL. -
The meeting of the friends and literary admir-

take measures to commemorate his memory in
some suitable and appropriate manner, at Me
trOpolita1 Hail. took place last evening, The

croft, Washington Irving, G. P R. James. and
other distinguished writers, authors and states

made an eloquent address on taking the chair,
hig hly eulogistic Of Mr.. Cooper and his
writings which, he said, were characterized by
a true American spirit, and high regard for
stern mortality and religion, at the same time
that they added lustre and fame to our liteFa-
ture. The monuments Of Mr.. Cooper, he said
are his works, and the only object Of the assem-
blage was to aid in the construction Of a statue,
for the purpOsed of showing their approval Of his
works to coming generations.

GooDMAN's COUNTERFEIT DETECToR for March
lst, is now issued. From it we copy the fol-
lowing new cOunterfeits:-
State Bank Of Ohio -2's, letter A, filled up
to the different branches. The general effect Of
the note is good, but will not bear close inspec-
tiOn. The lathe work on the left margin of the
note and head of Penn are quite badly done.
The Indian figure in the vignette is we'll execu-
ted, with the exception Of the right foot this
appearing more like the end of wooden leg
than foot The dog between the officers, and
the female on the right are exceedingly good
The letters in Cincinnati are crooked and some
what irregular The printing on the back in
red is fairly done, although not altogether in the
,enter. As whole this is dangerous conn
erfet and it will be well to scrutinize all of this
denomination very closely.
Bank Of Louisville, Ky.-A well executed
counterfeit has been detected of the Bank of
Louisville ten dollar notes. an exact copy of the
Genuine except that the words Bank Of Louis
lille are little shorter than the genuine. Dat
d December l, 1851.
State Bank Of OhiO.-20s have recently |
,een put in circulation. We have not yet been |
bile to procure a satisfactory description The
Impression of the cOunterfeits are said to be
lighter than the genuine.
Lancaster Bank, Pals, vignette the God |
less of Liberty. On the right hand margin
our children holding upa column. Dated May
70, 1851.
