The present Australian advices mention that a

movement was on foot to introduce the cultivation of to-
bacco, for which the climate and soil are considered by
many persons to be eminently suitable. The Board of Agri-
culture in Victoria have offered a premium of £4O for the
best sample. The average annual value of tobacco and
cigars imported into the colony of Victoria during the last
five years has been £212,000, and the hope is not only that
this quantity may be obtained of colonial growth, but also a
large surplus fer exportation,

AN INTERESTING SWINDLER.—The Tribunal of
Correctional Police yesterday tried a-young woman calling
herself Lucie Brun d'Aubignos, though her real name is
Louise Vigurie, on three several charges of theft, swind-
ling, and assuming false titles. It was stated that some
weeks ago a gentleman walking in the Tuileries garden, saw
the prisoner weeping as if in great distress. He inquired
what was the matter, and she stated that she was the
daughter of a noble family who had placed her in a con-
vent, where she had been ill-treated, and had consequently
run away; that she had got to Paris that morning, but
found herself in great destitution, and saw no other
resource but suicide. Touched by her distress, he
offered to find her an asylum, and placed her as a
boarder in a family residing in the Rue Coq-Heron. He
afterwards offered to marry her, and was acceptd, but she
proposed that the marriage should not be celebrated until
she had attained her majority. In the meantime, however,
she borrowed money of the family where she lodged, and
one day left without saying a word, and at the same time
I,ooof. in bank notes disappeared from the desk of the
master of the house. She was suspected of the theft, and
soon afterwards arrested, when it was ascertained that she
.vas the daughter of a forest• keeper, and had been working
as a needlewoman at Toulon,until her bad conduct compelled
her employer to discharge her. The Tribunal decided that
the evidence was not sufficient to prove the charge of theft,
but declared her guilty of assuming false titles as well as of
swindling, and sentenced her to four months' imprisonment.
