But for this not one Of these magazines. where
there are now hundred, would find its way

ARREST OF FuGIrIvE FROM JUsrIcE-The
Charleston Courier, says:
We we're politely informed yesterday by H. w.
Conner, Esq, that Captain j. G. Nichols, whose
successful forgeres Of cotton bills Of lading, are
familiar to our citizens has been arrested at Brus-
sells in Belgium, where he is now in prison. Capt
Nichols first visited Cuba, and thence proceeded
to Jamaica, where he took the British mail steam
er for Southampton, and from that port went to
Belgium. He assumed, after leaving this city, the
aliases of J. ~ Grafton and J. Clarke and was, we
believe, passing under the latter when arrested.
He was identified by gentleman Of rhis city, who
accompanied one Of the sufferers by the forgeries
In Liverpool in search of him to Brussels.
