AN ALTERED BILL TRAcED.-The advan.
tages of the present system of marking all coun-
terfeh and altered bills at the Suffolk Bank, was
most strikingly illustrated by an instance which
came within our knowledge the past week At
charitable meeting held at South Boston, not
long since, bill was put into the box, which by
examination proved to be one dollar bill altered
to ten The society were in need the funds,
and ascerainng that the Suffolk mark was on the
bill, attempted to trace it. 1t was found to have
been deposited at one of the State street Banks,
by noted flour. dealer on Long wharf, who stat
ed that he received it from a baker.at the West
end. The baker consulted, who stated that
he knew not where he took the bill, but that after
it was returned to him, a friend of his took it to
endeavor TO trace it out This friend by mistake
passed the bill as $40. The tracer Immediately
repaired to find the friend, who of course willing.
ly paid the $40, and returned the bill TO its right
iul owner, the banker. By the simple mark on
the back, the society saved nine dollars fav.

BY TELE APH
TO THE WORCESTER DAILY SPY
CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.
SENArE.-The Chair laid before the Senate sew
eral executive communications
Also, a communication from Mr. Kennedy, SUI
perintending Clerk of the Census, asking an in
vestgation of his conduct Referred.
Mr. Hunter reported the Civil and Diplomatic
Appropriation bill, with amendments.
The Senate then took up the Army bill.
The question pending was on Messrs Davis and
Shieldss amendments, to strike out the provision
that the armories shall be placed under the charge
of Civil Superintendent, and authorized the
President, when in his opinion twould becondu-
Give to the public interests to appoint Superin-
tendents who are not army officers.
A debate followed, in which Mr. Shields said
he thought it likely that it would be better to
abolish the Government armories, and then allow
the Government to buy its arms from that me-
chanic who could make the best.
The amendment authorizing the President to
appoint civil superintendent, was adopted. By
other amendments, the mission to China is raised
to the full grade, $4,000 are appropriated to
defray the expenses of the Turkish man-of-war
while visiting the Crystal Palace exhibition, and
$4,000 were added to the bill for the purpose of
continuing the survey of the Mexican boundary
HoUsE-The Speaker presented a paper from
the Secretary of the Interior, in reply to certain
charges recently made against him by Col GEN
try Several other papers were read in corrobo-
ration of the statement. The fact that the pa
pers were read, was ordered to be entered on the
Journal

THE BoURBoN QUEsrIoN.-The New York
Evening Post states that Mr. Putnam "has received
long letter from the Prince de JoinviIle of the ma.
ture OF which we are not informed but it is reported
that he denies substantially the truth of MIR Will
liams's statement in relation to the ntervewbe
tween the TWO on the steamboat going to Detroit
The Evening Post adds:
But it is said that there several remarkable
discrepancies in the Princes reply, which only con.
firm the friends of Mr. Williams in their opinion as
to the Legitimacy OF his claims.
La ny'case, il raises interesting issue as to the
veracity Of MIR Williams, who is an old man, cer-
gyman, and heretofore, as we understand, a man of
nnspolted reputation. His account of the interview
between himself and the Prince de Joinvile, is too
positive and ccumsantial 10 have been mistake
on his part, and the long and short of the matter is
that if he is conradiced by the Prince, one or the
other must - walk round the truth. We await
further Developments, therefore, on the part of Mr.
Hanson, with considerable INTEREST,"

The MAzzINI AND KossUTH PRocLAMA-
TIoNs "A London correspondent ofthe New
York Commercial Advertiser, remarks as follows
on the news of the late Milan insurrection:
The news has caused in London, more sorrow
than excitement, the intensity of the provocaton
that must have been suffered before the people
could be driven TO such an act of desperate mad
ness, being the first thought to which it gave rise
So Wild and hopeless was the struggle considered,
as far as any political consequences ale concern
ed, that both on the Paris Bourse and The Lon
don Stuck Exchange, its effect on the funds was
altogether inconsiderable. Consols receded to
the extent Of about three eghths per cent, and al
most Immediately recovered, and 10 French
Rentes, the huctuation was equally slight and
transient
The general tendency was to interpret the af-
fair as merely casual conflict fomented proba-
bly, by the Austrian police, and this is still in a
great degree the prevailing impression. Never.
theless, there are some circumstances which
would give serious solution. 1t is alleged
that for several days previously, reports had been
circulated of the death of Louis Napoleon, and
also that proclamation from MazzInl was posted
up in all the streets of Milan.
copy Of this proclamation, which has been
circulated generally throughout Italy, has been
obtained and published by the London papers,
with one purporting TO te addressed by Kossuth,
in the name of the HUI garian nation to the SOL
ders of that country among the Austrian regi-
ments in Lombardy. Either or both of these may
be lorgeries. Thus far, however, the authorship
has not been contradicted, either by Mazzini or
Kossuth, or their friends. A report has been cir
culdted that Mazzini left London about ten DAYS
ago, but it is believed that such was not the case,
and that he and Kossuth are still here
1t is hard to believe that these documents can
be authentic, and that, with the knowledge they
must possess Of the existing state of things, MAJ
zini and Kossulhs could wantonly have risked
the destruction OF all who trust in them. 1t is
true, as Mazzini says, thar from Spain to Italy,
and from Greece to Poland, the entire surface is
but volcanic crust, yet the explosion, to be sue
cessful, could only be looked for when some sud-
den event-such es is sure to happen in the his
tory of all tyrannies-shoud serve as common
summons. The only suggestion to explain the
motives that have now apparently been acted up
on, would seem to lie in some assumed PROBABLE
ty that the movement may be sufficiently pro-
longed and extended throughout Lombardy and
the Roman States, to bring the French and Aus
TRANS into collision, and that in the conflict be-
tween these two powers, the weaker nation may
obtain redress.

'FIvE NEGROES HANGED ON SUSPICION
OF KILLING A WHITE MAN.'-The New
York Tribune publishes letter from Washington
purporting to give the particulars of an atrocons
transaction in Georgia, which, as the writer says
has never been so much as alluded to IN the news
papers there. We copy in substances;
A Mr. iIoughtOn, young man OF dlssolute hab-
its, who had the reputation Of being hard task
master, visited one of his plantatons-an island
some distance from the main land. After an alb
ssnce of some days, his friends became alarmed
and proceeded in search of HIM. No tidings could
at first be heard, the negroes all denying having
seen their master. AT length, on promise ofre-
ward and pardon,one man confessed that his mas
ter had been murdered, and that he was buried
in a certain spot. The body was found in man.
gled condition, and FIVE men, who, upon examin-
alton, on the spot, were considered the criminals,
were forthwith removed to Dareu, the nearest
city having a jail.
Had these men been white the case would have
been legally investigated but it was at once
decided that the gentlemen in the immediate Vi
cnity, all men of high standing and many Of them
Immensely wealthy, should form themselves into
aJury and decide promptly upon the guilt or inno-
cence OF the unfortunate negroes. The verdict
was guilty. and sentence Of death was passed
by the mock tribunal. Pending these proceedings,
the Judge of the circuit, residing in Savannah,
proceeded to Daren accompanied by one or two
able lawyers, in the hope of putting a stop TO
such illegal proceedings; but, finding he had no
influence, he returned, and the men were alter
wards hung by one of the leading men in the
county. Though all the parties implicated are
known, the State attorney has not arrested them,
nor has the Governor of the State, who is privy
to the circumstances, offered any reward for their
apprehension, as is usual'in such cases.
