GEORGE LOCKE, C.&JT.E. Counterfeit J'otes. The Branch Notes of the Fanner's Bank of Virginia are so well counter feited, that it requires the nicest scrutiny to de tect them. Several of the Banks have been de ceived by them. The paper of these notes is The following account of an extraordinary Medicine, says the National Intelligencer, ap pears in such a guis- as to entitle it to the re spect even of regularly bred practitioners : FROM THE MTIOV.U, GAZETTE. Although the science of medicine has arrived at such perfection as to en able its professors to decide regarding the nature of disease, and the most proper means for its removal, yet there are some cases, probably depending on constitutional idiosyncrasy, -which very frequently resist all the known remedies. Scrofula and Syphilis are among these ; they frequently take on peculiar and horrible forms in their latter stages, producing pains, ulcers, and a train of evils, which continue to increase in despite of all known-remedies. . The following facts, however, show that a remedy for those diseases, in their worst forms, is within the reach. of our practitioners. At the lecture delivered on the 14th inst. at the Uni versity of Professor Gibson, two pa tients were exhibited who had been afflicted with ulceration in its most frightful form for several years : the throat, lips, and nose, as well as the bones and soft parts of the face were partly destroyed in both patients ; and in one an eve vras entirely lost. The learned Professor, in the course of his lecture, stated the case of these pa tients ; that they had been treated in the usual way without success ; and that they were finally restored to per fect health by the use of a medicine recently introduced in this citv, known by the name of Swaim's Panacea. I deem this communication a just tribute to the virtues of a medicine which I think bids fair to be the means of relieving a great deal of human suf fering. That remedy which a learned and respectable Professor has thought worthy of a particular notice before a numerous class of students would seem to have claims to the attention of every professor of the healing art. A STUDENT. rather lighter than that ot the good notes, and the shading of the Vignette, particularly the un der part of it, is paler than the original ; and Liio.it nit; until what is most material, the dot under the No. in both ends of the note, is open, whereas in the counterfeit it is entirely black. The same plate has been used for the different Branches and for nvtes of SO, 50 and 100. The letters are A. 11. C. and D. JRaltigh Register. LAW INTELLIGENCE. It is apprehended the following cas es will settle the question as to the re ceipt of forged or altered notes from one Bank to another, where each are alike ignorant of the fraud : In 1814, a Bill of Exchange with a forged acceptance, purporting to be payable at the house of A. & Co. bank ers in London, with whom the suppos ed acceptor keeps cash, is endorsed to B. for a valuable consideration. B- endorses it to his agent in London, who presents it on the 23d of April at the house of A. Sc Co. for payment.- A. St Co. pay it, and on the 30th of April send it to the supposed acceptor, who disavows it. A. & Co. immedi ately give notice of the forgery to B. and demand payment, which B. refus es. All parties are ignorant of the fraud. Held that A. S: Co. by paying the bill without ascertaining that the acceptance was genuine, were preclud ed from recovering the amount from B. in an action for money had and re ceived. Smith vs. Mercer, 1 Marshal's Rep. 453. 1815. The defendant took a Bill of Exchange accepted payable at the plaintiffs', who were the drawer's bank er, and endorsed it to their, the defen dants' agents, to whom the plaintiffs paid it when due ; and seven days after sent it as their voucher to the drawer, who apprised them that the acceptance was forged. It was held that the plaintiffs could not recover from the defendants the amount which they had thus paid. 6 Taunton's Rep. 76. Savannah Gar. Russia has now 350 Iiing authors. Most of them are of the nobility. One eighth of the whole number are clergy men. Up to the year 1807, 4,000 works had appeared in the Russian language. In the year 1810, the Russian National Library was in possession of almost 3,000 volumes by native authors, among which there were 105 romances. There are al ready S,000 works in the Russian language. Moscow has 9 public libraries and 10 print ing offices ; Wilna, 1 public library and 5 printing offices ; Revel, Dorpat, Cracow, have each 1 library and 2 printing offices. In all Russia there are only 8 or 9 letter foundries. Lon. Lit, Gaz.
