DIR. GARDlEER's MEXICAN, MHEs.-In
noticing the return of the Commissioners
who we're sent to Mexico to search for
the mines of Dir. Gardiner and Mr.
Mears, the Alexandria Gazette says
" We understand that "Laguinillias."
the townshipin which the pretended mines
were located. has been thoroughly ex-
plored; end not only has no mine been
discovered. but no person could be found
who had ever heard of a mine of silver or
quicksilver within the entire Department
of Verde. to which departmentthe town
ship of Languanillas (less in extent than
the District of Columbia) belongs. The
result of this mission confirms in every
particular the official report Mr.. George
w. Slacum, United States Agent, TO the
Department of State, on the 9TH of May
last. and recently published by the Select
Committe of the House Of Representa-
tives.

INTERESTING LEGAL DEcIsIoN.-THe
Neutrality La1cs Of the United sStates..-
Chief Justice fancy delivered an impor
tant decision in the U. S. Supreme Court,
a few days ago in the case of certain
American citizens, against Col. Thomas
j. Chambers, of Texas. While Texas
was contending against Mexico, but be-
fore her independence had been acknowl-
edged by our government. the defendant,
Chambers, desiring to carry on the revo-
lutionary cause, sold large tracts of land
to the plaintiffs-title to which he cove
nanted to make at any time when called
upon by the purchasers. The purchase
money was expended in equipping sol
diers for the revolutionary army; and af.
ter the establishment of Texan indepen.
dence, defendant received the thanks o
the Congress of the new Republic, and
was reimbursed all the expenses incurred
by him during the war. in the public ser
vice, including the price of these lands.
Subsequently he was called upon to make
title to the lands sold to plaintiffs. which
he refused. Suit was brought to compel
him to the performance of his covenant,
and he has set up in defence the allega-
ton that the contract was void, because
in coutravention of the neutrality laws OF
the United States. The Court sustained
this defence, deciding the contract to be
null and void, andthose who advanced the
money were liable to be punished in a
criminal prosecution, for a violation of
the neutrality laws of the United States.

CouNrERFErrs ON THE MARINE BANK OF
BALrrMoRE.-The Brownsville Pa. Free
Press gives the following description of a
counterfeit $40 note on the Marine Bank
OF Baltimore, said to be executed In a
m1sterly style. several of which were PAS
sed in that town, as we'll as in Carmichael
town, Greene county, last week, by a
man who proceeded on towards the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad:
ac" The plate is letter A, vignette be-
tween figures (eo) warehouses, shipping,
&c., (20.) On the end of the warehou-
ses (sign) :. ship stores" These notes
are made payable to j. S. Littings, or
bearer, an3 dated lst May. 1852. The
vignette between the cashiers and presi-
dents names. is a ship at sea, and a
whale, with boat and crew. '.e1i :
This note is we'll calculated to deceive.
The die work and machine engraving is
perfect. On the left hand corner of the
note is a female figure sitting on an am
chor-vessels in the distance. It's sign
ed Phil Littig. jr., cashier; j. Bier. pres't,
and numbered ll77." 'lo-

these notes have been circulated in this

EQUESTRIAN STATUE OF WAsuHGTos.-The
House of Representatives on Monday, and
the Senate yesterday, unanimously adop-
ted resolution appropriating fifty thou
sand dollars for the erection, on the pub
lie grounds in this city, ola bronze eques-
trian statue of Washington. The rcso-.
luton of the Congress of 1898, directing.
the erection of such statue, but not them
carried into execution for want of funds in
the treasury. is thus enforced, and made.
to take effect at last. The resolution just
adopted, names Clark Mills as the artist
who is TO perform the work; and the gene
raj admirtion and enthusiasm which the
inauguration of his statue of Jackson, has
awakened, has doubtless been the occasion
of the movement in Congress at the pres
ent moment. This is unquestionabls one of
the most signal triumphs of American art.
We learn that the same resolutiontwa SO
amended in the Senate as to allow the ar
fist twenty thousand dollars additional
compensation for the statue ofJackson.
The erection of both the monuments
will be hailed with general satisfaction
throughout the country VASE Union.
