Hew Way of Detecting Counterfeit*. Mr. John S. Dy?, of New York, lias come before (be public with a new plan for detecting counterfeit, spurious'and altered notee. llo presents it in Dye's W4IJ street Broker, and he pledges himself to take every counterfeit, new or old, at its full value, that is not thoroughly* described in his publication eo early as to l>c detected; and it is to make no difi'vreneo whether the bill is now in existence or should come into existence mouths or a year hence. Tbo plan of detection is set forth in English, German and French. The character of all genuine and spnriom bills is minutely described. Seven rules for detection are given, as follows : J>'irst. Examine the forin and features of all human figures on the note. If the forms are graceful and features distinct, examine the drapery?see if the folds lay natural ; and the hair of the head should be observed, -.,.1 a..,. ...... r.,. .... aim puc ii me mm niirtumo van uu pcvii, Second. Examine tho lettering, the title of tho Batik, or the bnntl writing on the face of tho note. On the genuine bills the work is done with great skill and porfectnoss, and there has never been a counterfeit but was defective in tho letlciing. Third. The imprint or engravers' names. By observing the great perfection of the different company names?in the evenness and shape of the fine letters, counterfeiters never get the imprint perfect. This rule alone, if strictly observed, will detect every counter | feit note in existence. Fourth. The shading in the back ground of the vignette, or over or around tho letters forming the name of the bank?on a good bill is even and perfect, on a counterfeit irregular and imperfect. Fifth. Examine well the figures on other parts of the note containing the detioiniiuitiou, also letters. Examine well the die-1 work around the figures which stand for tho denomination, to seo if it is of tho same character as that which forms tho ornamental work surrounding it, Sixth. Never take a bill that is deficient in any of the above points, and if your iiu-1 prcssion is bad when you first see it, you had bettor be careful how you become convinced, to change your mind?whether your opinion is not altered as you become confused in looking into the texture of the workmanship of tho bill. Seventh. Examine the name of the Slate, name of the bank, anu name of the town where the bank is located. If it has Wen altered from a broken bank, the defects can be seen, as the alteration will show that it lias been stamped on. ? M ? As Earxrst Mimstku.?The Ohio Observer mentions the following incident in i reference to tho late Rev. Dr. Matthews, of | .New Albany Seminary: It was a time of unusual apathy in the Church. He spoke mainly to professing Christians. But in the concluding applica- [ tion, lib made a most thrilling appeal to the j impenitent. Ilis feelings had several times checked his utterance. Ho drew a vivid I picture of the infatuation of the ungodly? paused a moment with quivering lips and i moistening eyes?then exclaimed: "Alas! I my thoughtless friends, you know not what j you are doing!" lie could say no more, hut leaned forward on the pulpit, and buried j his face in his hand while for sonic moments his whole frame sleek with emotion. The congregation was melted to tears, and the services were abruptly terminated by another minister, who concluded with prayer. What a scene was that here described : vet perfectly in accordance with the circumstances in which it occurred. A time of unusual apathy in the church, and sinners, almost as a matter of course, careless and stupid, and a minister before them with his message of eternal life, or life for all, which they would not receive. Wo would that there were manifold more of this feeling ev- j erywhero; then would revivals l?e multiplied. Death of AxnrntssKv, the Tkavei.i.er. Tlio Kadrelandet, of Stockholm, of March 2.) says: Wo have just received the news of, the death of the celebrated Swedish travel ler, Mr. Andorssen. lie some time ago set out on his thirJ journey into tho interior of; Africa, to muko zoological researches, and } after having e\j>lored the banks of the Tio- j 1 ghe ami of Lake Ng.'uni, ho undertook, in j1 company with an Englishman, Mr. Green, an excursion in an easterly direction, and! succeeded in reaching a country into which j no other European ever penetrated. There! he met a young elephant and went in pur- j suit of it; just as ho was on the point of' overtaking it. a very large elephant joined | it; two natives fired on the latter and I wounded it, oh which the animal attacked j Mr. Andersseu and killed him by trampling j him under foot.

M. yesterday, was resumed this morning at the session of the Court, the jury having come Jown for instructions. The Judge said that yesterday lie had re"used the prayer of the counsel tor the prosecution on ground that there was no evidence whatever showing that Lee designed to proroke Hume to striko him. In^reply to itn nquiry from a juror, the Judge said that lie case should rest on the point whether Lee could have retreated further before shootug, or whether lie had any reason to up-! ireliend bodily injury from the force and j apiditv of Hume's blows. lie said tliatj lume went to Lee's place of business, Leu j aying notliiiig except to reply to Hume's ntei rogations. Thoso were tho reasons, j vhy, tlio Judge slated, he granted the pe-1 ition of the counsel for tho defence. Tho j ury thereupon retired and re appeared in j lie course ?t thirty minutes with a verdict | )f not guilty. Lee was tlien discharged, and the Court! idjourned till Monday. 1 his i.s the shortest murder trial on the | coord of' our court. Intense feeling prevails in the ci'.y on the j iuhjcct, and a great don! of couiincut is! naiio on the character of tho \erdict, and ' lie instructions.

Soil of the. South. A Fisk Tiioroirr.?" I would not (said >ne who was not himself pious) marry any vomnn who was not a Christian. I should eel it such an honor to share a heart in vhich God dwelt." It was a fine thought, ind deserves to be specially remembered. You want a friend in whom you can have sntire and unlimited confidence; one who :an bo your counsellor in all circumstances if difficulty or trial; one who is to be iden* ified with you through life, in hope and fear, n joy and sorrow. She is to be a sort of pre-! liding divinity at thy family board, and Iter jountenance the mirror in which must be re fleeted the faithful image of thy domestic bliss or woe; one who will be discreet, affectionate, ar.d firm ;n governing her children *, in short, who will love you for your own sake, be happy with you in a cabin, nnd who will cleave tho closer to you when the storm of adversity or persecution shall have ?woj>t away or withered every vestige ot eartlily cdmfort from about you. Now bear all these things in mind ; and then to yriur prayers and tlie exercise of a becoming pru dunce, and you will not be likely to fail. [Bitkvp Andrew. A Rich Case.?Memphis, Tenn., is decidedly a great place in its way. A few days since a case was pending in the Common Law Court of that city in which a Mr. and Mrs. Ilclbing had sued Phillip U.

At a signal given, the mastiff was let loose, and rushed furiously towards Pitt, then suddenly checked his prtee, seemed Vonfonnded, and leaping over Pitt's head, ran nway, and was not seen for many Wars after.? During one of my visits to Italy, while I was walking a little before my carriage on the road not farjfrom Vienna I perceived two huge dogs bound towards me. 1 recollected what Pitt had done, and trembling from ! head to foot, I yet had resolution enough to : stand quite still and eye them with a fixed look.

CAPT. RVNDKUR?THK NKW MAHSMAL.? ! i A letter from New York to the Baltimore Son speaks favorably of the resolution of Capt. Hinders relativo to tlio dischargo of (lie duty of bis olHoe.

Sunday in Nkw Orlkaks.?The Picayune savs that on Sunday most of the bloody lights occur. It accounts for it by the fact that wages are paid on Saturday, and they are spout on the holy day in strong drinks, which lead to fighting. Last Sunday morntug a party at a dance, which broke up nt 6 o'clock, A. M., got into a fight, and knives were drawn and used. The result was, two men were ttabbed so badly that little or no hone was entertained of their surviving. In the afternoon, two Spaniards got into a fight, and one had his carotid artery cut, and he died within ten minutes. The contrast of Sunday in New Orleans and Sunday in Mobile, taking the 1'icuyune's testimony in regard to the former, is very marktid. Here brawls rarely occur I on Sunday. It is the quietest find inost pacific of all our days. Perhaps the Sunday ordinance has something to do with it. New Yokk, April 3.
