W'e saw, yesterday, a counterf( it note of the Hank of Charlotte for 8^0. It purports to have been issued 8th April, IS.'i.'i. The vignette, which is badly executed, re[ire- scnl' a blacksmith’s shop, a horse being shod, and u traveler looking on. The gen eral appearance of the note i.s bad, the en graving being clumsily executed, and the paper of inditlerent quality. The signa tures of the odicers are well done, but the figures in the corners and in the centre of the bill are rude and unlike those in tho genuine note. There are other dissimilari ties, but as they have been pointed out on a former occasion, we deem it unnecessary to describe them. W'e caution the public against these spurious notes, as many of this denomination are believed to be in cir culation, at least in i)laces south of us. Wibnin oton Herald Hoth inst. PREP.A.R ATION FOR THE PASSOVER 'I he annnal observance of this institution, (which the Hible reader need not be t(dd date.s back to tlie period of the exodus of the children of Israel from the land of the Pharohs,) commences this year on W^ed- nesdav, tlic Cil» of .T wisli population of the world are already making preparatiitns for its celebration. The pre liminary requisite is to obtain the “unleav ened bread.” Of this the Louisville Journal .«ays : “Matzot cake i.s baked almost exclusively in the city of New York, and thence sent to all portions of the country. It is made solely of the best wheat Hour and pure wa ter. A certain quantity of water is added toacortainweightof flour. It is mixed up— not kneedcd as the housewife or ordinary baker docs common dorgh, with the hands; nor yet as the julot bread baker does, “with his feet’’—but l>roken with a sort of a lever, one end of which acts upon a iunge, iind the other end is raised up and down by a boy, who sits upon it and springs himself up and down very much as boys do who play “sec saw.” The dough, after being broken, undergoes a rolling process, be tween two sets of rollers. It is then placed upon the feed board of an apparatus .>,imilar to a crakcr machine, and it is then subj»ct- ed to another rolling, after which it falls upon a linen duck apron, Vv-hich carries it along under the cutter. Here, it is by one operation, cut into round cakes, and at the same lime perforated with small holes at equal distances. After the cake is baked, it is packed and sent oiT in baskets. Tho Ma tzot is very good and pleasant to the taste, but modern Christians could hard ly reconcile themselves to eating it almost exclusively f«»r tho eight days the Feast of the Passover continues. INSAHB ASYLUM OP N. CAROLINA. The Directors of this institution, appoint ed by the last Legislature, held their first meeting at the Asylum on Saturday last, , and were engaged from eleven o’clock, A. [ M., until sunset, in the discharge of various duties. Present, Mr Taylor, of New Han- ‘ over, Mr Erwin, of liurkc. and Mes.«rs. ’ Johnson, Cantwell, A. M. Lewis, K. P. Battle, and W. Vi. Holden, of ^Vake. Ab- i sent, Dr. Mills, of Polk, and Dr. Blow, of ! Pitt. Dr. Charles E. Johnson, of Raleigh, 1 was unanimously elected President of the i Board; and Messrs. Kemp P. Battle, Ed- j ward Cantwell, and AV. W'. Holden were ! aT>poiuted the Executive Committee. I The Board Resolved to proceed with the ! water-works, the gas-works, the erection of j walls for enclosures fur the patients, &c., ! under the appropriation made for the pur poses sjiecified by the last I„egislature.— Arrangements w^ere also made for the I preaching of the Gospel to the inmates of ' the Asylum every Sabbath, by the pastors j of the four principal denominations in this I City—the Methodist, the Episcopalian, the ^ Baptist, and the Prpsbyterian—the minis- ; ters to succeed each other in this duty in regular ordor. There are at present about one hundred and ten patients in the institution. It atiords us pleasure to bear testimony to the fidelity and zeal of all the ofiicers of the institution, and especially of Dr. Fish er, the Superintendent. He combines in a high degree all the qualifications, for this ro.-iponsible post; and among the.se wo may niention an evenness of teini>or, and a kind- . ness and benevolence of manner, which ! never fail to j)roduce good effects upon tho 1 unfortunate class placed under his charge, j We arc gratified to state that his health, j which some months ago was quite feeble, I ajiftears to be nearly entirely restored, j The next meeting of the Board will be held on the oth of June.—Standard. MATRIMONLAL ADVERTISEMENTS [From Porter’s “Spirit.”] j LATE FROM EUROPE. j Tho steamship Africa, from Liverpool, 1 with dates to the 7th inst., has arrived here. I The Liverpool cotton market, on the 7th i inst., closed quiet, and prices were un- ! changed, except one eighth advance on , fair uplands. BreadstufFs were yery dull, I with a declining tendency. ! Parliament was to be dissolved in May. j Tho duties on tea and sugar have been re- I duced two pence. I A treat}’^ of commerce had been signed I between Prussia and America, at Tehcrin, by which American Consuls are allowed to reside in the Persian cities. Austria set ks to negotiate a siinilar ti'eaty. The Chinese news, from private letters, continues unsatisfactory. Rc-inforcemcnts are still going out from England. It is re ported that Admiral Bowring had been re called, and also that the (Miinese have des troyed the East India Company’s Chinese Depot. A lady who had no idea of looking for a husband, but with large proclivities for mischief and fun, put a matrimonial adver tisement in tho Herald, with direction answers to be sent to a certain signature at the Broadway Post Office. As the adver tisement appealed to the practical apprecia tions, by assuming a neat little fortune, in addition to an agreeable person, the seed of such temptation could not well fall idly upon such a fertile bottom as is offered by the city of New Y'ork. On the first day that succeeded tho advertisement, the lady re ceived seventeen replies; on the second day, thirty-two, and on the third, seventy-two— an extent, an ardor of appreciation, for her vaguely described prersonai attraction, which even she was not prepared to ex pect. Bewildered by tho warm volume of ado ration and entreaty which issued from this hymenial magazine, the lady called to her aid five ladies as mischievous as herself.— One pair of hands and one mind, were, of course, quite unequal to the task of answer ing all; so the batch of billet-deux was di vided equally among them, and each was to make an appointment with the w'riters, on the following Saturday afternoon, at four o’clock, on the h>wer side of the up-stairs saloons of a certain popular restaurant in Broadway. Each of the ladies, moreover, who took the task in charge, chose a differ ent colored paper for replies. Finally it was agreed that the whole six should be present at the interview, and that cach should wear the exact costume prescribed for the inam orata whom the sighing swains would be there to see. On the other hand, the gen tlemen were directed to appear in all the varieties of attire and position, w'hich fe male ingenuity and mischief could devise.

The Spanish Ministry has addressed a note to the representatives or r'jiain at the Kiiropenn (jourts explain ing tho quarrel. Having mentioned tho murders and robberies committed on the persons and goods of Spanish subjects re siding in Mexico, by the soldiers of Gen. Alvarez, tlie note declares that the Spanish Government does not desire to make the people and the Government of Mexico re sponsible for these attrocious acts, if the Mexican Government would only take ener getic steps to repair ♦hem. In this spirit the Spanish legation in Mex ico had been instructed to demand from the Mexican Government the puni.slnnent of the offeiulers and the indemificatiou of the Sitanish subjects who have been the vic tims. But at the same time, fearing that this demand is not complied with, the Span ish Government has ordered the departure of vessels of war and troops from Havana in suflicient strength for the protec tion of Spanish subjects. Five vessels of war, with troops, likewise leave Spain to reinforce the squadron at Havana. The expeditioij will altogether consist of thirty ves.sels of war, and will have a nutnerous army on board. The Spanish Government deplores the necessity of resorting to such measure towards a nation united to Spain in blood, language, and religion ; but if liopes everyb()d3' will understand the obli gation it is under to avenge the national dignity. the orang. In a lato number of ihe proceedings of the P.oston Society of Xatural History we find the folio wing interesting notice : The President introduced to the Society Capt. alter M. (jiibson, who, during a re cent visit to the East Indies, especially Su matra and Borneo, and the neighboring is lands, had an opportunity of observing the races of men and of anthropoid animals. Capt. (jib.^on gave an account of the orang-j, and a de.«cription of ono which he saw, which had been captured in a trap, and which ho said was em)>loyed in labor by its owner. The animal was six feet in height and covered with hair, which was very short upon the head. These orangs live in the trees, upon platforms of bamboo sticks, and have fur weapons rudely pointed poles, with which they spear fish. Accord ing to Capt. Gibson, the term oran^ signi- each secretly cursing the luck which wedg ed him so closely out of the killing positions and di.sphiv which ho had been meditating ever since he got his note. And how tho dishes smoked, and the wondering w'aiters flew ! Even the perplexed landlord, amaz ed at this miraculous flow of business, was obliged to drop his own mutton chop, and call out the entire force of his establi.lv.nc-nt to meet tho clamorous, if not threatening demands of gentlemen who feared they might not get their telegraphing plate of duck or mess of pork and beans in time. At length the clash of sheen and kick of stiff skirts was heard coming up tho stairs one lillllUCc uftci Tuuif aiicl an iuaiiiuiala ap- peared, dressed in dark green, with deep fur cape, and abundant drooping tacr. She was wafered on the back of the head with an infinitesimal bonnet, and carried in her hand the magic drif of cambric, whose Shakesperian strawberries intimated that she was she. Wiien she appeared, the sen sation was universal ; the gentlema:i with the buff vest threw open his c)at to the extreme ; the gentleman in the “blue’’ and bright buttons, buttoned his coat entirely to the chin ; tho gentleman who w'as to loan backwards frequently, commenced tilling like a Chinese mandarin; the gentleman with the pork and beans became vociferous for more leans : while those who had ducks, tVrc., were equally clamorous in comi)lain- ing of tho undue fulfillment of their or ders. Never was there such a clamor heard in that unsually well regulated up stairs saloon before—and by the by never did it subside more suddenly than when a new brush of skirts was heard coming up the stairs. All the Lotharios were once more in position, when lo! another, Cordelia, iu all respects the reflex of the first, appeared, bearing the film of strawberries as a challenge in her hand, and sweeping with it, like a Juno, to a seat near tho location of the first. It is needles.' to say that the sensation was now extreme. Some of the gentlemen who were to part their hair in the middle began, how ever, to look less furiously at oth«r gentle men who had their hair parted in the sane way, as much as to say, “Well, there is one for each of us, anyhow !” Lut most ot th(3 party seemed more trou bled than before. A pause of some minutes succeeded before any new “appearances” took place, during which time the Lothario's were engaged in displaying their points to the l)cst advantage ; and some, more ardent than the rest, pulled out the various colored notes they had received, and either pn'tend- ed to read them or laid them conspicuous ly on the table. “There's one of my f»*l- lows with the blue note!” said Mystery Xo. 1, over her spoonful of .soup, to Myste ry. X^o. 2. “There’.s one of mine,” said Cordelia the second ; “he’s got a pink note."’ “What do you think of Augustus, there, with the pork and beans before liirn, who is so pi'nsively leaning his cheek upon his hand 1” said Myth tiie first—but before the answer could be given.

Kio-grande is one of the finest and purest blooded horses in the world, as will be* seen by reference to the English and Ameiican re cords of his pedigree. He is liii ectly U> scend- ed from the very purest and best stock in Kngl ind and Americ.i, as the following pedi gree will show : PEDIGKEE. Rio-Grjnde is hy Billy Harris, out of Lady Morgan Billy Harris was by Monsieur Ton- son, he by Pacoiet, dam by Madam T.,nson. by Llliot's I’op Gallant ; grand dam by Bar. ley’s Medley ; Top (;al ant by GaHaiin ; Bar- rey’s, Mediey by Medley. Lady Morgan, the dam of Rio-Grande, was by .lohn liictiardsi; her dam by imported Expedition ; h r grand' dam by Bela Hadger’s Sir Solomon; great gr ind dam Aurora, by imported Honest John; great great grand dam Zelippa, by imported .Messenger; g g g grand dam Dido, by import ed Bay iJichmond ; g g g g grand dam !Sta- merkin, by imported Wildair ; g g g g g grand dam by imported i ub. A r.el. the dam of Billy Harris, was by American Ecli|>se ; her dam by 1 innaticier; grand dam by Empress, Dy im ported Baronet; jireat grand dam by imported .Mtssenger; her dam by iinap, (.nt of .Jenny Duter, by True Briton ; her dam Quaker Lass, by imported J uniper, out of the i mported Mol ly l’aco!et,by imported Pacoiet; Molly f^aco- let^s dam by import, d Spark out of Queen Mab. American Eclipse was by Duroc; his dam the famous race mare Miller’s Damsel by imported Messenger, out of the imported Pot-8u’s mare; her dam by Jim Crack. Du roc was by imported Diomede,out ofMr Mis ty’s “extraordinary race mare Amanda,” by Col Taylor’s famous GrayDiomede, sou of im ported Medley. It is deemed unnecessary to exterd back any farther the pedigree of iiio-Grande, al though It can be lully traced in the English Records b ick to a very l.,ng period of tin^e. Rio-Grande is unque>tionably one among the finest horses in the w’hob- Southern coun try. His stock IS of fine size, remarkably well-formed, durable, and easily mana"-d. Testimonials from the very best raisers of stock in ?^oulh Carolina, fuily sustain all and rnore than is here stated concerning Kio- Grande. He is undoubtedly an extia fine horse in every respect. There is not a sin gle drop of coarse or impure b.ood in his veins. rio-€}ka:vde INTOTIOB. Having sold out to Mr P. J.
