MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

A short time since information was given that two young
girls of the ages of 16 and 18, sisters, had left their home
at Cambridge, and had been decoyed to London. Avis,
an officer of this establishment, made enquiries and suc-
ceeded in discovering that the two sisters were residing at
a house of bad repute in Sheppard-street, Oxford-street.
A communication was made to the afflicted parents, who
at present reside at Dunstable, and the mother immediately
came to town, and sought the assistance of the magistrate.
An officer was accordingly sent to bring the girls to this
office, but only succeeded in taking the younger one, the
eldest having tried to escape.
The daughter, a fine grown girl, of handsome figure, ap-
peared before the magistrates in tawdry finery, and excited
disgust by her heartlessness and effrontery. Her name is
Mary Ann Wells, and her story was that herself and sister
had been induced to come to London by two Cambridge
gownsmen, who introduced them to the house in Shep-
pard-street, and after remaining in town a short time, left
them there.

Mr. DYER ordered the keeper of the house to deliver up
the girl's clothes, and then desired the mother to take
charge of her daughter.
The girl quitted the office, but, notwithstanding the ur-
gent entreaties of her mother, she positively refused to
state where her sister had concealed herself, and the un-
happy woman was obliged to leave town with only one of
her children.

GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR

THE WEEK.

(From the Gardeners' Gazette.)

,
Earth up `PEAS and BEANS ; sow and plant more for
succession ; continue to top Beans, as each crop advances
to bloom.

FRENCH BEANS—continue to get in succession crops.

CABBAGE TRlBE—plant out. Weed the seed-beds.
BALSAMS and COCKSCOMBS—sow now the best sorts for
growing to a large size in pots. Nothing is more erroneous
than to suppose early sowing necessary to attain a large
growth. They require to be kept in good heat, constantly
shifted from small to larger pots, the moment the roots will
reach the sides ; kept very close to the glass, and not to
have the least check.

GERANIUMS that have stood the winter without shifting,
must now be put into large pots carefully, and be well wa-
tered. They are very different from plants grown for show
in proper houses, and shifted from time to time.
DAHLIAS, if not planted out, should have another shift,
and be removed to a cold frame. Old roots may be di-
vided and placed in the ground, so thtre be an eye for each
piece of root. Those had in newly will be the better for
a week's heat, in a moderate frame.

CARNATIONS, PICCOTEES, and PINES—aII surplus stock,
after potting, may be planted in beds.

GliEENtrousEL-Hardwooded plants, out of bloom, may
now be placed out, in sheltered situations, unless they have
begun to grow ; in which case, the weather must be more
settled ; but plenty of air must be given to those remaining
in the houses.

. Mr. D'isRAELI'S VENETIA."—That " Vene-
tia" will be identified as a noble lady, celebrated from the mo-
ment of her birth by the most illustrious bard of modern
times, there can be no doubt. All the other characters in this
extraordinary, and it must be confessed, scarcely justifiable
work, are equally historical. The dead and the living are deli-
neated with similar skill and success, but whether all are fair,
subjects for the pen of the novelist, is a question which will be
doubtless agitated in every circle.
THE ARETHUSA.—This is the title or Captain
Chamier's new naval story. The power possessed by this
amusing writer of investing with interest every particle of a
ship, and in relating the chequered career of the sailor is well
known. The gallant crew of the " Arethusa" have found in
him an able historian. High as his reputation was before, this
work will still further raise it. Where, in fact, shall we fiad
his equal while describing the sunny and droll aspect of the
sailor's life—his frolics ashore, and his yarn•spinning afloat !
or to reverse the picture who can more potently agitate the
heart even to its depths, when he depicts the wild perils of the
storm, and of shipwreck—the frenzied crew of the ship on fire,
or the well contested and sanguinary conflict ? Captain Cha-
mier's " Arethusa" presents us with scenes, the drollery of
which will convulse the reader with laughter ; and anon with
matter full of pathos and intense excitement. But the merit
of this work is not confined to its nautical descriptions—for
the novelist presents us iiith vivid pictures of life in the desert,
and We hear the moan of the captive in the hands of the reck-
less infidel. In the present work, indeed, may be recognized
an union of tho -r SE--1
