The New Hampshire Gazette

We learn that the police of the city, has recently ferreted out a large number of persons connected with a counterfeiting establishment, on a very extensive scale--the names of several individuals have been mentioned to us, which, however, it may not be best for the present to publish.

It is mentioned to us, that one of the members of the counterfeiting society had passed a fifty dollar note upon a shopkeeper, (a female) in Second-street, who the next day, in exhibiting it to a gentleman, learned it was counterfeit--while they were examining the note, the person who passed it, was seen in the street-the gentleman left the shop and followed him up the street as far as Green-street, near to which he turned, and was about to enter a house, when the person in pursuit beckoned to him, he stopped and inquired his business with him. "I understand," said the gentleman, "that you have some counterfeit money to sell" "a little." replied the pursued-"and what do you ask?" "twenty-five cents on the dollar" "and can you let me have sixteen hundred dollars at that rate?"

The bargain for a smaller amount was made and the time and place for the consummation agreed on.

The gentleman then directed his course to the Mayor's Office-a warrant was issued, for his customer, (the high constable popped in and closed his accounts. The detected man turned State's evidence, and criminated, as we have before stated, a large number of his confederates.-U. S. Philad. Gaz.
