COUNTERFEIT TEx1AN NoTEs.-A quantity of
counterfeit Texian notes of the new issue are in
circulation in this city, and the light fingered gentry
who make and pass them exchange large sums to
the unwary emigrants for Texas for the notes Of
our city banks.


The counterfeit note can be detected by COM
pairing it with the genuine. The words Getty
of Houston, in the date at the bottom Of the note
are nearer the margin on the left hand side, than
in the genuine; besides this the stroke to the II
in the word Houston" is turned up, instead Of
being reversed as in the genuine note.


On Friday last, through the instrumentality of
one of our fellow citizens, several individuals
with large amount of these counterfeits, were
arrested, and brought before his honor Recorder
Bertus, and after careful examination were COM
mitted to Jail.


We would advise persons, before exchanging Il e
money of our banks for Texian notes, to have the
latter examined by Mr.. Nathaniel Townsend, the
Texian consul in this city, as he can easily distin-
guish the counterfeit from the genuine note.
