SWINDLING.

Sortie days ago a man called at the house of Mr.
Tyrrell, looking-glass manufacturer, Greek-street,
Soho, and delivered an order, of which the following
is a copy:— _ _

require for a friend of ours, who is going
abroad, the completion of the following order, vim., one
set of handsome ivory chess-men from 5/. to 61. ; one set
backgammon-men, and handsome, but not very expensive,
board, on account of the rough usage generally experienced
at sea, and spare chess-board ; and as we are not ourselves
competent judges of the above, we trust to the respectabi-
lhy of your establishment to execute the same in such lk
mahncr as will induce us to hand you any further sioav
order in your way which we may have the heuotm as
being intrusted with. We beg to add, that we ate limited
in price, not to exceed 121. or guineas, for the whole, and
to be delivered after 'Change, say six o'clock 0-morrow.
" We are your obedient se, vants,
" MAGNUS, KLEIN, and Cr,.

"70, Maik-lane, City."
The person who left this order was a shabby.'
looking porter-like man. The goods were got ready.
and sent off by Mr. Tyrrell, who desired his, mes-
senger net on any account to leave them without
payment. :The me rsenger called at No. 7 and law
a clerk, who said that M. _Klein was not at home,
but the goods might be left, and the tia,el
again. " No," said the messenger, " I have orders
to be paid first," and he departed, notwithstanding
the urgent manner in which he was addressed. MP,
Tyrrell, who suspected from the manner in uhiclt
the getter was couched, that some trick was
tended, called himself next day at the counting-house
of Messrs. Klein and Co.,
.with the• bex containing
the order, and asked for the principal. The clerk
replied, according to custom, that Mr. Klein was not
at home—he was at the Docks, or the Castel*.
house, or some other place of publiebusiness. Mr.
Tyrrell mentioned that he had some goods for the
firm, and he was politely requested to leave them,
and call again. lie made some. excuse, which in-
duced the clerk to suppose that he was capable of
being done, and was then told that Mr. Klein would
be back in a few minutes. After some delay, the
principal came into the counting-house ; but what
was Mr. Tyrrell's surprise at seeing the very person
who had called upon him as the messenger of the
firm, appearing as the master of the concern !.
147.1Q.;rn was, liowever, dressed m Clothes very tittleveut
from those in which he had delivered the letter ft,em
himself. He 'assumed the air of a man of conse-
quence, without being at all embarrassed, and dc-
sired that the box should be left, and said that Mr.
Tyrrell should have the amount, which was 101., in
a few hours. " Why," said Mr. Tyrrell, " you don t
seem to remember me, Mr. Klein ?" " No," saki
the principal ; " I never saw you before." Air,
Tyrrell then seized him by the throat, and noensed
him of an attempt to commit a robbery ;rbut„ con-
sidering that he had no charge likely to be recog.,
nized by a Magistrate, he gave him a violent kiek;
behind, and left the counting-house, after having
afforded much entertainment to some of tho
bours who were aware of the character of the concern.

THE ORLEANS' FETE.—As a royal fete
nothing could be imagined superior to that of the Duke of
of ORLEANS. The external and internal arrangements
were on a scale of equal brilliancy, and the advantageous
locale gave full room for the application of te boundless
expense bestowed upon it. The whole Palais Royal as.
sumed the appearance of a fairy palace and gardens, To
give you some idea of the scale on which every thing Ives
conducted, I may mention that the Kura was received on
his arrival by one hundred servants in the Orleans' liver,,,„
not one of whom appeared in the saloons. The 14tza
came into every room and saluted the company with ranch
affability, but he did not appear in good spirts, it was tho
first time he had ever seen the Palais Roy4l, as now relaultt
never having entered its precincts since the Restoration.
The. dresses of the French nobility were, in gsoeral, too
much loaded with ornament to be considered in good taste
this was particularly the case with the Duchess of Oh-
LEANs, who was literally covered with diamonds. nano.,
de BASTARD, however, appeared, determined to rely on her
charms alone to produce their wonted effect, and was very
simply dressed ; not so her fair rival the Dlstobess of.lsvarA,
whose parure was of great magnificence. By the bye it
is to the beautiful Duchess that istattrihuted the soubrignef
of " gros tie Naples" applied to his Neapolitan 111aJ ss x.,
Madame de BAST/Ott? is decidedly the fashional4 beauty
at present, and it is singular that she, as well s the 3,4.iar-
chioness of CARMARTH EN, whose charms are equally
effective in England, is a native of Atwica, One of the
most singular; objects in the room was 13gai4AMIN C.
STANT, who with his long white hair and plain eat suit of
solemn black, stalked through the glittering ciree like a,
spectre from some other world.— Court Journal.

Arrangements have recently be en mutle by the
Monmouthshire Canal Company for adopting their eaten,
sive lines of tram-road, for the use of locomotive engines,
which are likely to become general in that district, and
nearly 1000 tons of tram-plates are now manufacturing for
that purpose, at the Colebrook Vale and Nant-y-Glo Iron
Works. Mr. Pacangaos,'.one of the most extensive coal-
merchants in that neighbourhood, intends hauling his coal
to Newport with two engines, preparing for him at Not
Abbey Iron Works, and Messrs. Baawx, of the 251aima
Iron Wurs, have very nearly completed a IN:emotive-
engine far their own use, embracing many improvements.

MARCH 01? BARBARITY.—It will be seen
by a paragraph inserted in another part of 61iis Paper, that
the grand display of ruffianism for the championship of
England, excited an unusual sensation among the lower
orders in Glasgow. A gentleman who was present states,
that from the head of the Gallowgate to the Candleriggs,
there was a greater crowd awaiting tl.e arrival of cm,
London mail and English coaches no Saturday afternoon,
than was seen at any of the most Momentous periods du'''ng
the time of the late war. The brawls that followed the
int Ili4ence respecting the result of the fight caused the
appri 'tension of upwards of 200 persons, and led to the
death of an unfortunate young man. Mattiii- went Of
