THE MryGcs, roRGERIHs.

On Saturday tho 18th inst, the city threwn into
NE greatest excitement in consequence of the circu
hksn Of rumor that Henry Meggs late a member
of the Board of Aldermen and OF tue most extern
awe lumber merchants of the State had failed for
$500 ooe-that several forgeres had been discovered
that Meiggs had purchased the bark American ft~
sed il up IN splendid style and taking With him his
family and his brother, John c. Meggs recently
elected Controller, and large amount OF treasure
get sail for ports in the Pacific" The greatest ex-
element prevailed for two or three days and for some
time no extent could be formed as to the extent of the
fcrgtres. The matter has been pretty extensively
ated SINCE and the following is probably not
very far from the true amount Of the loss sustained
by Neiees's operations:
Controllers Warrants FORCED ........ 600
Cslorps Lumber Company forged. 10000
Forgeries on suneYy hruas. ............ 5000
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1854-11-10
Totsl........................si. 500, eco

The warrants were generally made out In favor of
Jesse L. Wetmore, and in sums Of from 200 to 81 O0O
At frsa IL was thought that the plate well as the
signatures were counterfeit, but is now conceded
that the former was genuine, and so admirably were
the latter executed that the Mayor and Controller
each pronounced them their own writing. In addition
70 the above il is believed that some $500 600 or
s4oO, 600 Of the forged Controllers Warrants have
been hypolheested in New-YOTk.
