'' 1 ; ' lady" thieves""7 In Tail's Edinburg Magazine for May, which is not reprinted in this country, we find a very entertaning article on,t.he subject of " Genteel Thieves." We irive an extract or two : Let me . say something, then, about Lady Thieves, and inform Mr. Moule, and Mr. Everybody Else, how I have been learned to handle that sort of business. When I -first obened shop I knew nothing about it had never bestowed a thought upon it ; and, when one day, I saw a genteel-looking young girl drop her cambric handkerchiet upon an article which 1 usually sold for a guinea, and, taking both up together, convey them to her pocket, I seized her uncere moniously, hauled her into my back room, rung the bell for the maid,' had her searched, found the article upon her, sent for a Bow street officer (there were no policemen then,) and gave her into custody. What a fool I was, to be sure I It happened that her father was a clergyman, back ed by high connections,' and looked forward to be a bishop before long. He bailed her out in no time came down upon me with a - charge of conspiracy, and threats of transportation for life, badgered my serving-wench out of her wits, first himself, and then set a hatchet-faced fellow to cross-examine her, who drove her clean bewildered more fool I for letting him do it ; but I knew no better then. I saw it would never do to take the case to trial with such a witness, and by Jove, she saved me the trouble by bolting away before the day of trial came. I was obliged to withdraw the charge, and pretend that it was all a mistake. , I he clergyman talked ot prosecuting me for a conspiracy ; but he had some conscience and only talked ; the girl, I have no doubt, had confessed the theft to him. , As it was I got the reputation of a monster ; and, only recovered my character by acknowledging that I , must have been drunk at the time, and didn't know what I was about I, who was never drunk in ray life ! The affair cost me fifty pounds in cash, and amaged mv connection to the extent of at least two hundred pounds more. I should have been ruined, but the parson got his bishopric, and left my neighborhood ; I put a new name on my sign-board, and m time the event was lorgotten. had learned a valuable lesson. .. . , The next lady-thief who favored me with a visit did me the honor to rob me to the amount of two-pounds-ten. She did it so clumsey that could not avoid seeing her. L anected not to notice it ; smillingly took her order to the amount of a few shillings, and when I sent , home the oods, put the stolen article down in ' the bill. She called the next day, with the utmost affability, informed me of the mistake I had. made in charging an article I had not sent, and- which she had not ordered. She brought her " com panion" with her, to prove that the article chargd was not m the packet ot goods sent which, of course, I knew wellenough. I admitted "the mistake with perfect good-humor, and she went away, . . . ; . , It will be acknowledged that I learned my lesson well ; but though I congratulated . myself on that score, I thought the teaching too expensive, and resolved to try another plan next time, I had not long to wait for an opportunity. Lady S , the wife of a Baronet, took, a fancy to some property of a rather rare description, and concealed it in the folds of her sleeve. When she made her purchases, I requested her, under the pretence that I had something remarkable to show her, to step into the parlor. Closing the door after her, '.'Your ladyship is not aware," said I, " of what you have done I have observed that at times you are very abstracting in your manner ;. allow me to show you what you have been doing." With that I caught her firmly by the arm, and in an instant drew forth my property. She blushed red as fire, and her eyes flashed but recovering herself in an instant, she

burst into a laugh and cried, " Really Mr. Brown, I am much obliged tu you who would have thought that ' I had been so distraite t Why, really, I have robbed )'ou without knowing it." " Hardly that," I thought to myself ; but 1 held ray peace, bowed smilingly, and attended My Lady to her carriage. Lady Thief Number Three was a Dowager of three score at least, w'.io came at regular intervals, who bought pretty freely, but always stole as much as she could. "'This was a difficult case and I hardly knew how to deal with it. She wore a large pocket to contain the plunder, and was constantly dropping something into it. If I taxed her with theft, 1 should lose her custom, and that of her connection, which was large and of a high class. Icouy not persuade her that she plundered unconciously ; she was too wide awake for that. I had serious thoughts of keeping a professional pickpocket on the premises, to rescue my own property from her grip, but feared , the remedy might prove worst than the disease. One resource remained : I had kept a pretty accute account of all she had purloined during the six months" patroi.ago she had bestowed upon me, and when I mado out Jier account at the end of the season, 1 set down each article at its proper date. The old lady sent her steward to settle the account, to which she made no objection; but she never again entt red my shop. One day my friend. Dr. Jobnson.'had finished his morning levee, and was preparing to go forth on his daily round, his assistant brought him a proscription which, being old and creased, he could not well decipher. My old friend, , when he saw it, determined, for some reason or other, to compound the medicine himself. ' He stepped into the dispensary, where stood the young girl in. a morning dress, and requesting her lo be seated, began collecting the necessary ingredients. . As he stooped to reach the vessel, he looked aecidently into a small mirror that lay on a shelf, and distinctly saw the girl take from a side-table, a guilt-phial of costly perfume, and then place it in herpoclet. He at once led her into the house, and charged her with the theft, and had her searched by his wife and daughters. The delinquent did not deny the crime, but refused to reveal her name, and became excited and furious when not allowe to depart. Poor Johnson, who never dreamed of the consequences, sent for an officer and had her conveyed to prison. That act was the ruin -of him. The girl was a young lady, daughter o Colonel J , who, and whose family lead the fashions of the place. The young lady was bailed out, owing kto the influence, for a trifling sum and the bail was for-ftir-ed, under th prul(.;v iXit she vtns too sensitive to fippear in answer to such an odious charge. The town was full of military sparks, who united with the Colonel in spreading the most infamous reports concerning Johnson reports which placed him in the most abominable light, Bnd blasted his character for ever. In less than a month, every house in the town was shut against him. Even the poor, to whom he had been a benefactor for twenty years, hooted him as he walked thestreets.' His eldest son, whom, after making . interest in his Dehalf for years, he had at length placed advantageously in the town bank, was abruptly discharged; his daughters were shamefully expelled from school where . they received their education ; and his whole family consigned to general igominy and execration. Johnson lost his practice almost at one' swoop', and as a consequence he lost his credit. He had saved but little, almost nothing ; and was obliged to sell off his property and retire' from the -town. The breaking-up of his household, the loss of his character, the distress of his family all together had such an effect upon his spirits, and indeed upon his health and faculties too, that he was never the same man afterward. He came to London.' and endeavored to open a connection in a middle-class district in Paddingtou ; but the vile reports which had ruined him at C , followed him here, and defeated all his exertions. He fell rapidly into poveity ; his charming daughters declied into governesses and ladies', maids ; his two boys went off to Australia ; his wife died brokenhearted, ; and he himself doomed to a solitary f arret, and with nothing to subsist on but the ard-earned wages of his girls, fell gradually into premature decay. . ' ! , Taking his Rank. Among the Americans who attended the late ball given at the Hotel de Ville, Paris, was Jack Spicer, of Kentucky. Jack rushed the dress somewhat strong, and sported epaulettes on his shoulders large enough to start four Major Generals in business. -Jack was the observed of all observers, and got mixed up with a party that his friends could not account for. Wherever the Marshals of France went, there went Jack and when the Marshals sat down, Jack did the same, always taking the post of honor. ; The day after the ball Jack called on his old acquaintance, Mr. Mason, our Minister to France, who started up a little conversation in the following way: "I hear Jack, you were at the ball last eve. ning." !'.' , "I was, Sir, and had a high old time." " "For which you we're indebted, I sppose, to the high old company you got mixed up with. By the way, how came you associated with the Marshals?" "How. By virtue of my office.' They were Marshals of France, while I am nothing else than a Marshal of the Republic. I showed my commission, and took post accordingly." ' "By right of your office! What do you mean?" "Read and see." ; ! Here Jack presented Mr. Mason with a whitey brown paper, with a seal big enough for a four pound weight. ,. "What in the name of heaven is this.". "My commission of 'Marshal : ' I received it in 1850, when I assisted in taking the census in Frankfort." : ' - - "You don't mean- to say that you travel on this?" "I don't mean anything else. That makes me a 'Marshal of the Republic, and I intend to have the office duly honored." - Mr. Mason allowed that Jack was doing a large business on a very small capital.

FROM THE CRIMEA. The news by the Atlantic is full of successes gained by the Allies in the Crimea. The British journals fairly throb with exultation; " and the British public, long despondent and hopeless of any profitable result from the present campaign, have suddenly regained the most joyous confidence. In imagination they behold the Crimea already conquered. Sevastopol laid in ruins, Russia suing for peace on any terms, and the war as brought to a triumphant and glorious termination. Let us see how far these anticipations are justified by the facts. , ', First among the events which have thus reversed the current of public feeling in Western Europe is the occupation of Kertch and the Sea of Azoff by the allied naval and land forces.

This was all accomplished without any show of opposition on the part ot the Russians. .Neither at Kertch nor at Arabat were there any consider able fortifications or other means of resisting an attack.' Indeed, with our present information, it is difficult to understand how the Russians could have neglected to fortify places of such impori tance, and so exposed as these were. The loss is certainly a serious blow to them. Not only is it accompanied by the destruction or capture of a creat ouantitv of Drovisions and other stores. as well as of all their vessels in the sea of Azofi", but it cuts off all the channel on which they h'ave mainly relied for spplies. , Henceforth they must draw everything of that nature, beyond what is furnished from the Crimea itself, by the more' remote route of Perekop, or the road across the Sivash shallows. This will of course be a great inconvenience, but that it will at once reduce the Russian army to famine or force them to surren-j der is not so certain. . . . j ' The British journals pronounce this affair to be glorious. In ordinary war glory is acquired by overcoming resistance! and accomplising an end in the face of overwhelming dificuities and dangers. 'But since this Crimean campaign began many old notions have been unlearned, and many new ones have got an entrance into men's minds. Among the latter is the glory of leading 20,000 troops against a place with neither men nor forts to defend it,, and actually succeeding in' its capture. To our judgement, on the other hand, the self-gratulations at this exploit in ' the sea of Azoff should rather be drowned in shame at its not having been consumated months ago. Why have the Russians been allowed to hold undisturbed possession of the straits of that sea till now? ' Why was no step ever taken to prevent their using the sea for the transportation of reinforcements and supplies? ' Why has no part of the allied fieeE ever been sent there to interrupt the communications, clear the sea of every Russian vessel, and "hold every port in blokade? It is a striking illustration of the imbecility which has marked the prosecution of this war on the part of the Allies that so obvious, so advantageous and so easy a measure, for which with their great number of ships they have constantly had the means, should never have been undertaken before. It is true that it has not before been possible for them to spare 20,000 soldiers to garrison Kertch and Arabat; but that was not necessary; a few vessels and gunboats might have cut off the ' Russian communications quite as effectively without these garrisons as with them. Nor is it by any means clear that the Allies can even now afford to spare the division of Sir George Brown from the army with which they are now commencing operations in the field. Their superiority in numbers is far from being so great that they can widely distribute themselves in this manner at remote points about the peninsula.' ' . The next great success is the capture of a place d'armes, which the Russians bad prepared in front of the Redan and Malakoff bastions, between their lines and the French, to assemble in for important sorties. As we have not haerd of this before we must infer that it was a new construction, and of a purely offensive character. In other words, the besieged instead of being more and more weakened by the besiegers and restricted to defending themselves) are still in a position to extend their means of assailing and damaging the latter. This place was attacked by the French about 15,000 strong on the night of May 23, and, as Pelissiar reports, was partially carried; Gorchak off says the Russians held it, but with a loss of 2,500 men. ' The next night the combat was" renewed,' when the Russians were driven out and the entire place occupied. But this appears to be a merely negative victory, depriving the Russians of a means of doing injury, but not doing anything toward silencing the defenses of the town. The allied trenches were not carried forward a yard by it, nor does it afford the least ground for expecting that assault forever promised, but never realized. The third new and victorious movement is that of 35,000 Frenchmen upon the line of the Chernaya. In respect with this we are also favored with some splendid exaggerations, which give it all the pretensions of a great triumph. , The truth is that it is but the first step of the operations in the field which must now begin. This force is probably thrown forward to occupy the Russian army, while another allied division will march by Alupka and the paths of the hills to turn the Russian intrenched position now occupying the main road to Sympheropol. That the Russians would thus withdraw from the Chernaya was a matter of course. They must reserve themselves for the fight behind their retrenchments, where,, according to an Austrian telegraphic dispatch, the Al lies are about to attack then 100,000 strong which we shall believe when we see it. A battle on the Chernaya would have been folly for them, especially if their numbers are so much inferior as they are represented. But we have little faith in these representations, and shall wait for facts to justify that sanguine scorn with which The London Times speaks of the slight resistance which the Allies will probably have to encounter henceforth, before we admit its propriety. It remains to be seen whether the long disaster of tlisjpge is now to be crowned by a brilliant and facile coup de main, rendering the Wesfern Powers at once masters of the entire Crimea. But at any rate we may now expect exciting news from that quarter. If it does not now show us war on the grandest scale it will certainly be on the most active. JV. Y. Trilune.

5. An Indians Word and Gratitude. A correspondent of the Detroit Free Press gives the following, among other deeply interesting anecdotes of the great Indian warrior Tecumseh : ; W'hile the enemy were in full possession of the country around Monroe and Detroit, Tecumseh, with a large band of his warriors, visited the river Raisin. , The inhabitants along the river had been striped of subsistence. Old Mr. Riv- . ard, a Frenchman, who was lame, and unable to procure a living for himself and famly, had contrived to keep out of 6ight of the wandering bands of savages a pair of oxen, with which his son was able to procure a scanty support for the family..- It so happened that, while at labor with the oxen, Tecumseh, who had come over from Maiden, met him in the road, and walking up to him, said : .., ,,v , .. " My friend, I must have these oxen, My . young men are very hungry, and they have nothing to eat. We must have, the oxen." i Young Rivard remonstrated, and told the chief ; that if he took the oxen his father would starve . to death. . . "; Well," said Tecumseh, :" we are the con- . quorers, , and everything we want is ours. I ,,must have the oxen ; my people must not starve ; out x will not be so mean as to rob you of them. I will pay. you one hundred ' dollars for them, 'that is far more than they" are worth; but we must have them." , ,i , ', i Tecumseh got a white man to write an order on the British A'gent, Col. Elliott, who promptly .refused to pay it,, saying , ' ,.. , , , . .. "We are entitled to our support from the country ive have conquered; I will not pay it." . ... The young man with a sorrowful heart, returned to Tecumseh, who said . , ,. '', " To-morrow we will go and see." , , , "In the morning betook young Rivard, and went to see theColonel. On meeting him h e" said,. ,,; . . ,,, , . ,., . ; ' ; J ..' .. " Do'you refuse to pay for the oxen I bought ?." " Yes," said the Colonel i and he reiterated his reason for the refusal. , . , .fl-. ( , , a "I bought thein," said the chief, "for my young men, who are very hungry., . I promised to pay for them, and they shall be paid . for, . I .have always heard that white nations ,iwent to . war with each other, and not with peaceful individuals ; that they did not rob and plunder poor people. I, will not.", ' ,, , " Well," said the Colonel,' ,'" I will not , pay for them." .,. 1 , , i . ,., ; ,, j ," You can do as you please,'' said the chief, ." but before Tecumseh and his warriors came to fight the battles of the great king, they had enough to eat, for'which they had only to thank the Master of Life and their good rifles. Their hunting ground, supplied them with food, and to them they can return." . ., ., ,; This threat produced , a sudden change in the Colonel's mind. . , The defection of the great chief, he well knew, would immediately withdraw all the red men from the British service ; and without them they were nearly powerless on the frontier. .... - '.-. . :, . ., , . ." Well said the Colonel," if I must pay for the oxen, I will." , . . , ,,. -.r... . ," Give, me hard money,", said Tecumseh, not rag-money" (army bills).,.,. ' ' The Colonel then counted out a ,hundred dollars in coin and gave them to him. The chief handed the money to young Rivard, and then said to the Colonel, , " Give me one dollar more.", , . It was given; and handing that also to Rivard, he said, , , . ..; , ... , ; ... , ;,. " Take that ; it will pay you for the time you have lost in getting your money." , Sleeves and Sauce:1 .' ' The most stupid and ugliest fashions always last the longest. How many years the long dresses have swept the streets'. For the last twelve months bonnets have been flying off the head, and so, probably, they will continue for twelve more., However, the bonnets are 6imply ridiculous. As to long dresses, there is something to be said for them. They are convenient to aged ladies. : They enable them to enjoy, without attracting remark, the comfort of slipers and laced stockings and rollers for their old ancles. They render it possible for young ladies to wear bluchers and high-lows, thereby avoiding wet feet, and to save washing, by making one pair of tsockings last a week. So they will doubtless continue to be worn whilst the laws of fashion are dictated by a splay-footed beauty, or a lady troubled with bunions. But this kind of apology cannot be made for hanging sleeves. They are not only absurd, but inconvenient. They are always getting in the way, and in the sauce and. the butter boat.
