Counterfeit Money.—On Thursday last, a man by the name of Read, was arrested and committed to gaol in this town for having in his possession Counterfeit Bills to the amount of $1086, on the following banks, viz. Suffolk Bank, of the denomination of five dollars, dated the 5th May, 1819. payable to N. B. Stone. or bearer; fives on the Landholders' Bank, dated 13th Nov. 1818 payable to A. French, or bearer; tens on New-Haven Bank. dated Aug. 3d, 1819. payable to J. Graham, or bearer: fives on Coos Bank, dated March 11, 1819; threes on Coos, dated June 1. 1819. payable to R. Gookins or bearer: and twos on Franklin Bank, dated April 1, 1819, payable to D. Windsor, or bearer. He was detected by attempting to make a confidant of one of our citizens, and engaging him in the same nefarious traffic; who instead of listening to his golden allurement, hastened to a magistrate, and had the villain arrested the very same hour. He stated that he was direct from Canada, and had passed about $1000 in Portland. The bills are generally well executed, especially those on the Suffolk Bank.
