IMPORTANT ARREST OF COUNTERFEITERS.About two years ago, a batch of counterfeited bills on the Now Haven Rank, at New Haven, Conn., (tens, fives and twos,) made theirappearance, which created much astonishment by the accuracy with which they were engraved, and the skill with which the names, tc.,were filled in with the pen. Only ©1500 of this emission was ever discovered by the bank.About one year ago the five and ten dollar bills of the New Haven County Bank, at New Haven, were counterfeited, with the same mys-tery. Of ibis emission some ©3000 were discovered.The twobanks, thereupon, made the most vigorous efforts to detect the villains, but without success. They also procured entirely new plates, calling in their old emissions as last as possible. This was nearly accomplished, when, in August last, the officers of the New Huven Bank were astounded by the discovery that their new five dollar plates had been counterfeited, with the same exact imitation as the old, andwith even more perfection in the signatures.— Of this emission, only ©400 have been discovered by the bank.• A « t » I * « . . .
