vIIILAINOUs TRANSACTIONS.
 Reciprocal Roguery.


 Our readers may recollect, some time ago, that there was puphsneo an account of very vil1ainous transac- ton, the substance of which Was' IhaI several bales of cotton, imported rom Savannah to New York, and thence 10 Havre-de- Grace, containing about 6oO weight of stones, concealed in some or the bales. The cheat was not detecI- ed until the cotton got to France where the bales were opened.
 The example, however, does not ap- pear to have been lost on the French merchants. Several pipes of Brandy were lately imported in New York' per the Maria Theresa, from BOT 7deaux Eight pipes of Brandy were sent by a merchant of the first respece tability to his friend in this city. In drawing off one of the pipes it was found that the actual quantity run short of. the 'guage by EIGHT GAL LIONS The pipe was accordingly opened. and at the heads were found nailed, two reasonably large pieces or wood.
 The other seven pipes have not been opened; but we doubt not the same imposition will be discovered.
 eve are truly sorry to find that 1n- stances of fraud in the packing or cotton continue to occur. A load Of cotton was lately sold at Augusta; the weight of one of the bales led to sus- picion of unfairness in packing, and on it's being opened, in this single bale were found 195 pounds of stone; in five other bales, 50 pounds of rock were also found.
