THE PARISH“ (ll? .\ FORGE“.

The Glasgow llrrald gives some nuimu particulars respecting the antecedents ct llreatrex. the photo- graphs-r. who was recently arrested In Ntw York city on the t-haryo of having been the principal in the lat»- extensive forgery of bsuk notes in Scotland. and sent bark to that country.‘ It upwe-

H Greatrsa was known in Gin-vow as an MIWO mem- ber of the Plymouth Brethren. In this city he frequent- ly preached. and is said to have converts-d sonic well-lu- do cit-sens. who are now sealous in the faith. The tub-us which he possessed for this kind of haraugue was strikingly exhibited on the emulsion of" l‘ritt'bard‘a u- caex-utiou. ‘hen. mounting a rostrum erected near tlu hi‘t’t‘ll railing about three o'clock in the morning. he u-iocbt to Improve the coming apnrtat'lu to the anictn' blsl multitude.

The same ostentatious display of piety led him to ex» hibit a arrios of boards braving Scriptural exhortatiuus. such as appear on the walls of schools. in tho show-room of his histographie establishment; and his studio. also. was well supplied with books of a religious character. Added to a very prepoasflasing ap searance. his gentle and dignified manner was well calculated to gain for him the favorable regard of those with whom he came into contact. In short. he possessed all those graces of pnnott and manner which. it employed only as a install for hypocrisy and dcetct. make a man one of the most dangerous enemies to society.

“‘batuvut‘ tears Greatrex may have at first Nilt‘rluitr ed as to his apprehensitm. he had evidently adopted tlu belief latterly that his plans to. outwit the authentic. had been completely successful. Accordingly. we find from a letter which has just been received from the bout clerk who went to America along with Superintendci t Mt-(Iall. that ho had commenced operations as a preach- er and ruvivabst in New York and its neighborhmld. and had seemingly attained to a measure of popularity, which was denied him in this country.

It would appear that alter his arrival in America. Mr. McCall advertised in the New York Harald for a first- elass photographer. the ldvurfisetnstttt being worded in such a way as was thought most liker to attract the at- tention of the person “ wanted." Amongst other re- plies to the udtrcrtisumeut was one which. from its guarded tune and the character of the handwriting. .\Ii - Call believed to be from Greatrex. This letter appeals to have communicated the applicant's address. and the clan thus gained was at once followed up.

Mr. McCall. with one of the New York detectives and the bank clerk. who knew (ircatrex by sight. went on an early morning to a German lager beer saloon. commanding a view of the bourtlingbonse in which Greatrex was supposed to have taken up his quarters.— Sovers‘l hours passed away with no result. but they were. bv~sndnbyu. rewarded bv seeing (ircatrelt and the young woman who went. after him from this t'ttunlry. put then heads out of the window as a band of music passed along this street.

The officers waited until'Greatrcx:quittsil the house for an afternoon stroll. when they followed him. He had taken off his beard and whiskers. and wore his hair alter the manner of the Yankees. but notwithstanding thisjehanga in his appearance. the bank clerk at once Identified him. The American detective then came for— ward and quietly slipped his arm within that of Great- nx. accosted bit by name. while Mr. McCall took him by the other arm. and the trio walked ir. the most friendly way along the street. Greatrex did not speak for some time. but when addressed by the bank clerk he started. his face became flushed. and be affected not to know the person who was speaking to him.

As we have already hinted. Greatrex had so improved the shining hour In America as preacher and revivalist. that at the tuna of his apprehension his settlement over a Baptist Church in New Yuri; was considered an ex- trvinely probable matter. fie occupied on. of the New York pulpits in place of Rev. Dr. Adams. who appear- ed to have been pleased with him. and recommended him as a suitable pastor to a congregation out of town. which had been deprived of its spiritual guide. ~Witls a view to secure this appointment. in all likeli- hood. Greatrex had labored for four or live days in the neighborhood of the vacant church. where a great wo;k 0f revival was going on. He also turned his talents to account in seeking to convert his fellow-lodgers tn the boarding-house. Upon this point a writer says: ‘I know most of those in his lodging. lle was there very busy in what he called tic Lord‘s work. The lady of the house. aged about sixty.

To the Editor of the Herald.

Sir.—-—Thcre are. I believe. a great many candidates in the field for the Cardigan District. and. among the whole of them. there are none should be chosen in pre- farunco to Donald Munro. Esq. by tho Liberals. as his votes will show. by reference to the Journals of the House. where he may defy his opponents to pray-u that! he ever gave one. vote injurious to the interests of the‘ Island; and surely they can place more confidence in his honesty. as their representative. than they can in any of this new-made converts to Liberalism. who alwa a supported heretofore at uch election the enemies of t e

pls and the most bitter Tories. and. when they have the chance. they should return a man who " would be above suspicion.” It is not for the purpose of making speeches they should send to the Legislature is repreo seatativo of their District. but a man nho. they may be sure. will give an honest vote. and who will not rate their old enemies to ower. when he would have the chance of doing so. 0 doubt but there will his many advisers. telling the people to return none but a good s aksr; but let them recollect that the Liberal party will have lcnty of spaakurs in the House. and all they require o the people of Cardigan hi to send a member who will assist them in eating. They will not require any assistance in the speech-making line at all. Of this thov Isa rest assured. as Mr. 00ch and a few friends tha't wil be returned alon‘ with him. will be quite suf- ficient for that part of it. Munro is a good. sensible speak». a plain reasoner. concise and bflul. flu is also a nan of good. sound knowledgr. and has an extensive informatioa on any aubjert that will be brou ht before hlswintho House. I was very glad when seen his card in tho Herald last weak. for I believe there is no Liberal District in the Island but should be proud to re- tara a man of sorh known uprightness and patriotism. 1 m .‘n u” Ifilleflll of the Belfast District would vota again for him to a man: but Belfast is not a Liber- of District now. although at the time they elected him. they were as Liberal as the Cardigan District is now; thoreforu I have no doubt but they will return him with a handsome majority over those new-made Liberals. who disagreed with the present Government. and who. all their life time. done everything to tnjura the Liberal came. llava nothia to do with such torn.
