COUNTERFEITNG EXTRAORDINARY BY 4 Turk
ISH LADY.-The Turkish counsel at NewYork
has Informed the police authorities that he had
received despatch from the Ottoman govern
ment, through the Turkish Minister at London.
stating that a Mrs. SaVasti had been arrested
at Constantinope for passing counterfeit mo-
ney, which had been printed in New York. In
her trunk was found 100000 Gaines (piece
of paper money valued at 20 paSters each.
Mayor Tiemann Immediately had the printer,
VIM. L. Harrison, arrested. Piles of the
Turkish counterfeit money were found upon the
shelves. Mr. II. was at first greatly astonish-
ed at the apparition of the police. From his
explanations it became evident that he was en-
tirely unaware Of the true character of the lob
he had done for the Turkish lady. lie said
that he recollected her calling on him about
the lst of July under the name of Madame
Zalfman, and engaged him to print a large
quantity of what appeared to be l1bels, at 81
per 1000, exclusive of the cost of dies and en-
craving. She paid him $I166 in cash, and
note for $500 in payment for the job On the
23d of July, she had the labels transferred
to the Astor House, and thai was the last he
saw of her. He had not the slightest Suspicion
that what She called +" labels . were pieces of

n SAD ACcIDEyT.-From the Republican
Banner we learn that a serious accident oc-
Cured at the Ladies' Riding March on the
Cortland County Fair Ground on Thursday
of last week Mr. and Mrs Blanchard, of
Truxton, were riding together around the track
at high rate of speed, Mrs. B, on the inside
of the track-when her horse suddenly boted
the track, and threw her violently upon the
ground. In falling, her head struck against a
carriage that was standing near, filled with
persons watching tie ride, and inflicted severe
wound on the back side of her head which ccm-
pletely stunned her. Several medical gentlemen
were near, who examined her wound, and re-
ported that she was not seriously injured but
IL would take some time for her to recover from
the eoneusSion. The rumors that she was dead
we're without foundation.

Bg~ The report of Mr.. Varley, electrician
of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, in England
has been received at length 1t states that
there is a fault Of great magnitude at distance
of between two hundred and forty-fv and three
hundred miles from Vaentia, and it is possible
that it may be in shallow water At this faulty
place the copper wire does not touch the wire
covering Of the cable. The copper wire, itself
it continuous. 1t is believed that another
defect in the cable existed when it was laid
down. 1t is Supposed the cable has been
somewhat injured by the powerful currents
that were first used upon it. 1t is possible
that some intelligent signals may yet be receiv-
ed through the cable, but it is also probable
that by continuing to transmit signals the wire
will be cut asunder and the connection thus
destroyed As the case stands, there is too
much reason to fear that the present cable will
serve no other substantial purpose than to
teach US how to make a better one

On Monday the Norwegian bark lCathri'la

mer Austria.. These are additional to the six
ty-seyer already rescued, and makesal total OF
eighty nine. None of the missing Philadelphia

night, having left San Francisco on the 10Th

he will not be desirous that it shall remain too
long, and hence he may be better inclined to
yield to reason, and render the Justice that he

ed States, also, who were established in bust
ness in Paraguay, have had their property seiz-
ed and taken from them, and have otherwise
been treated by the authorities in an insulting
and arbitrary manner, which requires redress.
President Buchanan called the attention of
Congress to these facts, and also showed that
President Lopez had, on very frivolous preten-
ces, declining to ratify a treaty which would
have better secnred American rights in Para
quay. Congress thought the facts justified
force, and if negotiation now fail, force will
certainly be used.

Col. FoRNEY made another strong speech, at
Germantown, Penn, on Friday. He anato-
mized the President after this fashion:
Mr.. Senator BRowN, of Mississippi, in ad-
dressing the people of that State a few weeks
ago, took occasion to refer to private cOnver-
sation which he had had with Mr. BUCHANAN
1t is most extraordinary fact, by the way,
that nobody is denounced for repeating pri-
vate conversation concerning public question,
unless it be a Northern man. Laughter and
applause. The purport of this private conver.
sation upon a public matter was, that the Pre-
SIdent had assured him that he would remove
all men from Office who did not accept the En-
gsh bill as iinality on the Kansas question
Mr.. BRowN, in referring to this, remarked: 81
regarded Mr. BUCHANAN as little weak in
the back, but | intended to hold him to the
issue" | am not here to discuss question of
anatomy-to determine whether Mr. BuCHAN-
AN is weak in the back, or whether he is weak
in the knees, (as distinguished Senator from
Pennsy sylvania said on one occasion } or wheth-
er he is weak in the head, laughter; Tor whcth-
er he is weak in the heart All that | wish to
say is, that demand that the same rule which
applies TO the North, in reference to the dis
tribution of patronage shall apply to the South
When Mr. Buchanan was elected President of
the United States, he caused it to be announ.
ced throughout the land that he would allow
no man to remain in Office more than four
years that any man who had been in Office
for a longer period must give place to another
This was so we'll understood as the policy Of
the President that men who had been in Office
three years and a half prepared to retire at the
end of six months. What was the course OF
the South ? When they discovered that this
rnIe had been adopted they demanded of the
President that he should make All exception il
their favor They said We deny this doc
