A new and dangerous counterfeit Of the denomi

4 new and dangerous counterfeit Of the denOmi-
nation of $50, on the State bank of Troy New
York, has made its appearance in Philadelphia.
A man arrested day two ago, with S400
of these notes in his possession. The Gazette says
The dangerous character of this new counterfeit
may be inferred from the fact that an attempt was
made to prove that the money was good. The best
Judges of bank notes pronounced the bills before
have been issued. A Third street broker, who had
been engaged in the business five years, was not
willing to pronounce the money counterfeit, al
though he would not like to take it; but the bills
were admirably executed that he was in doubt
whether they were genuine counterfeit.
