About three months ago Deputy Superintendent; Car

ceived information that sang of counerielters were
at work in tie city or vicinity and were daily and
weekly issuing large quantities of the bogus notes upon
various banks and sending il all over the couatry.
The matter inalIy placed in the hands OF Officers
Lefftrts and MeDougail of the Detective force, aud
night and day since the information was received they
have been the alert Aher the lapse of some
weeks the officers found two whose movements
led them 10 strongly suspect they were the parties
wanted. Night and day the suspected men were
logged by the shadows, and about two weeks ago
traced to little frame cottage in Mott Haven, West
chester County, abou, a mile north Of the
Ha.e,n Bridge. A watch set upon this house aud
maintained for several nights BY the officers,
maining continually the premises while the other

On Friday last Capt. WsllIns gave orders to
certain of his men to be in readiness tor
some work in the evening, and at l0i p. III.
the Captain with detectives Leferts, Dcvoe, Elder,
and Sampson LETT the Police Headquarters and pro-
ceeded directly to Mott Haven. Some time previous
SergeaIt Lell,rs and officer McDougall and the
two men entered the house ami retired to bed The
moment the lights were exinguished Leierts set out
for the City, and upon arriving informed Capt W.
that the time had arrived for them to strike.
Upon reaching the ground Officer MeDougall IN
formed the Captain that the parties were still inside,
and had no suspicion of what going on. Some
further time spent in reconnotcriug aud lay
plans sor the descent.
At o'clock Saturday morning the officers
rounded the hcuse-iwo men being stationed in the
rear and one in 'front.'. Capt. Walng, Sergeant Lcf-
lert- and Officer McDougall then cautiously crawled
toward the back door, but their movements neverthe
less caused alarm as rear window raised and
man. head appeared through the opening. Officer
Elder discovered the head and cried out, Push in
quck, some is looking ont and We are discover
'ed." In al instant Capt Wallng sprang toward
the door and with powerful effort burst 1t open.
With pistol and dark lanterns in hand, the Capt.
and wo Of his men walked into the house and
arrested tH men named Leonard Banker alias james
c. Watson and James Jones, whom they caught IN
the act of getting out of bed In Of the rooms the
officers found woman who claimed to be the wife of
Banker. The two handcaifed and seated in
lower room, when lights having been procured the
officers commenced thorough search of the house
Nothing wa. found in the cellars, but upon bursting
open the base nen door the officers found nicely ar
ranged workshop and everything in good order On
one side the window, were seats and benches on
which were glavers and other tools aud fragments of
copper plate on some of which were names and de-
signs of various kinds similar to ygnettcs. On shelves

city leaving Mrs. Banker in charge Of the house. The
prisoners were yesterday afternoon taken before Justice
Quackenbush, who detained them for examination.
The $4,000 found was entirely finished, and wouh,

throughout the Western country, for which section it
was evidently intended. The bills are 40 well
cutsd that hundreds who profess to be good judges
would have been deceived. They all bear date
March T. 1853 and it thought that there was then
q new issue from the 0gien-burg Bank. Following is
