Counterfeiting --The negro Robert Jones, slave of John C. Allen, who attempted to pass a $20 Treasury note with forged signatures, at the store of Wm. Thalheimer, two or three days ago, was examined yesterday before Commissioner Watson, and remanded for trial at the next regular term of the Confederate States Circuit Court. It appears that Wm. Flegheimer, a clerk in the Treasury Department, was present when the note was offered, and seeing at once that the signatures were not genuine, detained the note and gave information which led to the arrest. The negro gave a bungling account of the manner in which he obtained it, telling several stories which proved to be falsehoods. The note was undoubtedly stolen, either from the lithographic establishment or the Department, and signed by some person of no great pretensions to good chirography.

Stealing boots. --Two pairs of boots were stolen yesterday afternoon, from the yard of Mr. William F. Watson's law office. They had just been sent out to be polished, but before the servant had time to manipulate with his brushes, the boots walked off, with the assistance of some watchful thief. Commissioner Watson was engaged in the examination of one rogue, and not at all suspicious that another was at that same time committing a depredation upon his property.
