Counterfeit coin. --The investigation of the charge against Harvey Wash, of passing counterfeit gold coin, and having a large amount of the same in his possession, is to take place before the Mayor this morning.--Officer Perrin, who went to Appomattox county, the prisoner's place of residence, to search for more of the same sort, has returned and, we understand, expects to be able to make some further developments in regard to the matter. The connections of the accused, who are among the most respectable citizens of the county, seemed overwhelmed at the intelligence of the disgrace into which he has failed.

uller, Carlos W. Ellis, and Jesse White were taken into custody, and the officers carried off a faro table, a roulette table, dealing box, checks, and $119 in money as trophies. A free negro named Henry Holman, doorkeeper of the house, was also taken along to the station- house. The parties were taken before the Mayor yesterday, and admitted to bail in the sum of $1,000 each for their appearance on Wednesday, the 22d inst. Another body of police, including officers Kelly, Quarles, Perrin, J. M. Carter, and several watchmen, entered the house of James T. Southall, corner of 14th street and Exchange alley, but found nothing contraband nor any signs of a game. This was somewhat of a surprise to the invading party, who expected to surprise a cosy little circle of professional and amateur sportsmen, with tables, cards, and chips in abundance. The occupant, not at all disconcerted, invited the officers to take a drink, which they declined, and soon afterward withdrew, with nothi

Police Affairs. --John Richardson alias John Dailey was arrested and caged yesterday evening by Messrs. Perrin and Pleasants, of the police, for passing a counterfeit $100 Confederate States Treasury note on Philip Epstin, knowing the same to be counterfeit. The note is similar to the one passed by the man Tyrer, previously under arrest for a similar offence, and was no doubt obtained in the same manner.--John T. and Dan Munn, arrested for fighting and throwing rocks in the street, were bailed out after being carried to the cage. --John H. Gatewood, accused of being an accomplice in the murder of Edwin Hamilton, Wednesday night, was arrested at the house of a cyprian, on Exchange alley, and locked up to wait a hearing before His Honor this morning.

Arrest of a notorious character. --Messrs. Davis and Perrin, of the Richmond police, seconded on Saturday in getting hold of Geo. Rigley, a notorious thief, who broke out of the Lynchburg jail while awaiting trial for horse stealing. We believe that Rigley made his escape once from the jail at this place, and twice from that of Lynchburg.

Died from his Injuries. --A man named Fred. Smith, who is charged with having feloniously stabbed Richard Wright, at Mary Walden's house, about two weeks since, was arrested and caged yesterday evening by Messrs. Bibb and Perrin. Smith was also slightly wounded in the melee, in which Ned Keeling, a local ruffian, took a prominent part. The man calling himself Richard Wright proves to have been named Charles Moore. He died yesterday from the wounds given him by Smith and Keeling. Felonious stabbing is now changed to murder.

Robbery at a Hotel. --One of the boarders at the Columbian Hotel was, on Sunday night, despoiled of a gold watch and $100 in bank notes by two men who took lodgings in the same apartment with him. Information was yesterday furnished Messrs. Perrin and Morris, of the police, together with a description of both men, one of whom had registered himself at the hotel as S. Miller, of Lynchburg, by which they were enabled to lay hold of them at the corner of 7th and Broad streets, and secure both watch and money.--"S. Miller," on his arrest, gave the name of John Shirley. He came to this city a member of the N. O. Zouaves, and was a companion of Bill McDonald before that individual was sent to the State's prison. His companion proved to be the well-known but incorrigible John T. Smith, of this city, lately acquitted by the Hastings Court of relieving a Mr. Gardner of sundry articles, including a pistol Bash presented appearances indicative of guilt. They denied being at the hotel, bu

Heavy Haul. --A man named E. C Jones, late a Lieutenant in a company from New Orleans, attached to the Wise Legion, who was taken prisoner at Roanoke Island, but paroled, was arrested by policemen Perrin and Seal on Saturday and lodged in the cage, on the charge of stealing $10,000 in confederate Treasury notes at the Richmond House, from Peter Deane, a Quartermaster in the C. S. Army.--Jones will be remembered as the ringleader of a parcel of desperadoes, who, on several occasions last summer, manifested their presence in this city by various acts of rowdyism at the house of a cyprian on Cary street, which were afterwards investigated before the Mayor. We could not learn the manner in which the money was appropriated. If it is proved that he did steal it, an example should be made of him. Up to this time we have heard of no examples being made by punishing a single one of the many patriots who have helped themselves out of the public crib. The poor soldier fares badly if he w
