that a good derkl of, spurious eoio, resem-

some -yearl lige; was in circulation, bow no
one could tell. ° The attention of the auth-

twenty -cent pieces had been passed pitand
some one of them was found to have origin-
ally come from an Italian -pedlar of_Plast-

and other articles for the manufacture of
which these people are celebrated. Forth-
er inquiry discovered, that not only one'
brit many pieces , of base °coin had been put
into circulation by the Italian, and he was
arrested On Wednesday evening by High

About four months since he met an Italian
