race for the Goodwood Cup on the Both
ult., in which Pryor and PriOress, Ameri-
can horses, participated. 1t has already
been announced that they were beaten.
1t appears that Pryor was not in condi-
ton to make the race, and that the fine
chances of the mare were dashed by bad
management on the part of her jockey.
Better luck next time.

yesterday, removed from 81 Bond street to the

From 10 O'Clock in the morning a crowd ofhun-

New Castle Bank.

We notice that J. N Wagonseller, the de-
faulting Cashier ofthe Bank Of New Castle, has
been arrested at Albany in house ofill- fame
1t will be remembered that it was stated in the
papers that he had taken $4,000. We learn
that the amount taken was $4,000 of the bills
of the bank, which course could not be real
lied upon, and left his bondsmEn, who are good

ably resume business in few days.

errible Photographic Counter
fcitS.

The Paris correspondent Of the Boston AHas
gives the following alarming account Of recent
Photographic counterieits in that city:
The science of photography has for some
time, been the rage among the young inen Of
fashion in Paris, and has been carried to great
perfection by some of them but none to great
er extent thanHby M. Aguado, whose successful
studies from nature are we'll known among the
artists of every country. On Saturday morning
this gentleman sent word to the experts Of the
Bank of France that he had at length succeeded
so fully in the imitation of the thousand
franc notes that he defied them to detect
it; and so his perfect conviction Of the impossi-
bility of discovery, he warned them that the
note would be presented at the bank between
the hours of one and three. According to this
intmation, the experts were assembled at the
counter, and each note brought in was submitted
| to their examination before it was accepted
The hour passed by and no false note appeared;
the whole of those specified lay in row spread
out before the experts, who already crowed over
the idea that M. Aguado had not dared to hazard
the experiment, when just as the clock struck
three, in he walked, smiling and triumphant,
with a thousand franc note in his hand.
"Well, have you detected my forgeryT' asked
he, with the greatest coolness.
"No," answered the head expert. "for the
good reason that you have never sent it."
"Why there it lies right under your nose
the third to the left and here is the original
that took it from"
The dismay ofthe experts may be imagined,
when, even comparing the two, they found il
impossible to say which was the false. A coun.
Gil was held to determine the course to be adopt
ed, as according to report, great number OF
these Photographic notes were in circulation
and NJ Aguado declares himself able to manu-
facture any number of notes in a given time, and
that aone shall be detected, either by sight OIL
j touch.
The CONSERVATION created by the announce
ment is not to be described, and report tells us
that the bank has accepted the offer of learned
English Doctor resident here to furnish chem
icai preparation, ofhis own discovery, which
shall Immediately decomposethe photograph By
the touch Of camel's hair brush, dipped in the
liquid and passed lightly over the printed lines
The adventure has served to make us laugh al

culation may not be able to stand the test of th'
learned doctors brush. N u Itgv "a

GTThe following telegraphic despatch fur

1t has always been difficult topredict with GER

But we thiuk it not very hard to read in the po-
Icy indicated in this despatch, scheme on the
part of the Black Republicans of that territory
to throw tinto the hands of the slave holders.
They seem to think that more political ctpital
canbe made in this way than voting down which
they have power to do. The developments oI

supositiOn is incorrect Ne,eark Advocate.
ST.. LOUIS March 23.-The Topeka CORES
pOndent ofthe Democrat says that the Kansas
convention was in session on the 10th and I1th
inst, o.. f. Gurrier presiding. A committee
reported a series Of resolutions stating that the
people Of the territory cannot participate in the
election under the Census Constitutional Act
without compromising their rights as American
citizens, and jeopardizing the pdblic peace.
That the Topeka Constitution is still the
choice of a majority Of the citizens, and urge
upon Congress an immediate admission as q
State under it. That peaceful relations between
the citizens is regarded indispensable to the
welfare OF the people and territory and earnestly
appeal to all men to submit the differences O.
opinion growing out Of the question Of domestic
institutions to the ballot box provided that any
attempt to abridge or impair the freedom Of speech
or the ballot-box, be held as just cause o
departure from this policy. That no test be
made for membership to the free state party
save the exclusion Of slavery from Kansas. That
we are inaexbly determined to abide by the
principals ofsquatter sovereignty, as enuncated
in the Kansas Nebraska bill.

0J-'The Richmond Dispatch says that an in
teresting re- union took place at Wizards Hotel
in Washington City, The parties were Col.
May, Gen. La Vega, and Col. Magruder. Those
conversant with the history of the Mexican
War, will recolect that Col. May was ordered
by Gen. Taylor to stop the firing of La Vegas
cannon. May dashed forward, accompanied by
a number of his men, siezed the arm that was
extended to fire the cannon-captured La Vega,
and handed him over to the charge of Col. Ma
gruler. The Dispatch observes that it must be
pleasant as well as suggestive to see these war
riors assembled at the same dinner table in a
friendly way, and popping Champagne corks in
stead of nine Founders!
