Counterfeit Notes.—The Mayor of the city, having received certain information which led to the procedure, yesterday, in company with Judge Nesbit and Judge Brice, searched the house of Henry Freburger, baker, in Franklin street, and, after a laborious search, found a stone jar, about a foot under ground, in the cellar, containing four large bundles of counterfeit money, of the following banks: One bundle of ones on the Franklin Bank of Baltimore; one do. of twos, on the same; one do. of twos on the Havre de Grace Bank; one do. of threes, on the Union Bank of Georgetown. One of the bundles also contained a variety of other notes. Mr. Noah Fowler, and Mr. Pitt, another officer, were the indefatigable and active agents in leading to the discovery of this villainy. Freburger has thus far eluded apprehension. Officers, however, are in pursuit; and we trust the culprit will yet be arrested. We understand Freburger has recently returned from a tour of pleasure or business to the northern or western parts of New York and to Canada. The amount found was about forty thousand dollars.
