CouSrxRFTT CURRENcY.-The following from
the Petersburg Express is Of interest to our COM
munity, as several of these counterfets have been
detected in this city. They are Of different denom-
nations:
First, new and dangerous two-dollar greenback,
well executed, and calculated to deceive. Ex-
anime all twos carefully, especially new bills Of
that denomination.
Also, one-dollar greenbacks, close imitation, but
The engraving Is coarse, especially the head Of
CHASE, which differs from the genuine in the eyes
and mouth, but more particularly in the nose,
which is Of an entirely different type.
Five-dollar greenbsoks. The words s'United
States,n compared with the original, have
scratchy appearance. In general appearance, pa
Per and printing, they are well calculated to de-
ceive. &
! DETENTION OF FOREIGN VEssEI.-The Norwe-
Hian bark NeGeaad, Capt. WENaE, arrived here
some time back from Newport, England, with
cargo Of railroad iron. Captain W. not being in
formed as to the Law Of Congress requiring foreign
vessels TO have their msnifests In proper form pre-
vious to entering port Of the United States came
into this hArbor without having that paper e1eout-
ed as the law requires, and was thereby subjected
to fine Of five hundred dollars or less. Mr.. WETTE
the Consul for Sweden and Norway, thinking that
the Captain made the omission innocently, laid
Norway at Washington, who, after an interview
with the Hon. Secretary of the Treasury, obtained
q remission Of the fine. Through some missppre-
hension Of the officials here, welearn that the bark
was detained day or two after she was ready for
sea before she could clear through the Custom
House for Liverpool, for which port she had taken
on board cargo of cotton and naval stores.
WEST BROAD AND RUr1EDaE PRoMENADE.-Every
one does not live within an agreeable jaunt Of the
Battery, hence the necessity of seeking other
points for recreation and refreshment in these
'ppng hot" times nearer their places Of residence,
which is done in no stinted degree. The points
sought are generally along the river, where, after
the fiery day-god has sunk forest behind the west
ern clouds, the breezes float, filed with healing
and health ''in their wings" One Of these popu-
lar resorts is the Promenade, debouching from
West Broad, through Rutledge and up Beaufain
streets. There is not fair afternoon that troops
Of the neighboring little and larger ones may
not be seen walking on the margin OF the
the pond, which compasses just sufficient Of the
element TO make it lake-ike in physique, if not in
other italian essentials. And not only the blithe
and happy heart Of childhood invigorates and re-
WHITES thereat, but "grown up" ladies and gentle
and their beau1-go thither to
catch the pure, free air, as it 'percotes the pre-
cinct and renders it enchantingly delightful.
What blessing it is that those who arc cir
