A LADY THIEF.—On Saturday information was
given, Kith a description of a female representing her
self to be a captain's lady, who in the course of the
week has victimised several tradesmen in different
quarters of the town. On Thursday she called at the
shop of Mr. Kerry, a draper, in Bishopsgate-street,
stating herself to be " Mrs. Captain Warren," and recom-
mended by Dr. Conquest, of Finsbury-square, and ordered
a quantity of goods to be sent to the Captain's residence,
but some flannel and other articles she took with her.
The goods being sent as ordered, it was found that she
had given a fictitious address. In the same way she
ordered goods to be sent from Messrs. Carter and Co.'s, of
Finsbury-place, to be sent to" Captain Fawcett."in Fins-
bury square, and carried off with her part of the pro-
perty ; and from Mr. Ford, a silk mercer, in Holborn, she
obtained a black silk mantle, giving an order for other
goods to be sent to " Captain Warner," at 47, Hatton-
garden. She is described as a young woman of respect-
able appearance, about five feet high, with dark hair,
and when she called at Mr. Kerry's wore a half mourn-
ing dress, with black straw bonnet and veil, and carried
a black parasol. On the other occasions she wore the
half mourning dress, with variations in the other por-

tions of her costume.
Mn. GALE'S BALLOON ASCENT.—This intrepid
gentleman, whose aerostatic exhibitions have novelty to re-
commend them, and apparent though not real danger to
excite the most apathetic, made an ascent last evening from
the Rosherville-gardens at Gravesend, accompanied by two
other aeronauts, in the presence of a vast number of spec-
tators collected within the grounds. Previously to the ascent,
the ceremony of naming the balloon, somewhat in the manner
of naming a ship at the time of launching her, took place
amidst the cheers of the multitude. When at a very great
elevation the lower car was let down from the upper one, to
the distance of thirty feet, and Mr. Gale descended from the
one to the other, and ascended again to his original place,
having discharged a battery of shells from the lower car.
The gardens, which are now in admirable order, were, not-
withstanding the unfavourable state of the weather in the
early part of the day, visited by some thousands of persons,
the balloon having been inflated since Saturday, in crder to
afford a perfect view of the novelty of its construction. At
two o'clock the weather cleared up, and at the time of the
ascent was most propitious.

LAURENCEKIRK. ABERDEEN RAILWAY. The
railway operations in this immediate neighbourhood are
now advancing rapidly towards their completion. We
understand, that both Mr. Munro and Mr. Brebner expect to
have their contracts finished, that is, altogether , ready
for the permanent rails, by October next. The number
of men at preseot employed on Mr. Monro's contract is nearly
300, and on Mr. Brebner's above 100. Both these are only
stab-contracts from the company, but they, however, are very
heavy cuts.
[ADVERTISEMENT ]-IVlercantileLife.—lt has beenrs-
marked by intelligent foreigners, that cases of baldness prevail greatly
in this country, and as a cause, that the unwearied application to com-
mercial pursuits contributes largely to this result. Be this as it may,
nowhere is a protective and restorative preparation more needed;
and probably there is no European people to whom artificial ippll
anees have been so eminently serviceable. The numerous cases of
recovery of the hair after having fallen off, or partial baldness, are
truly astonishing. The testimonials of the efficacy of Oldridge's Balm
of Columbia place its power and virtues beyond all doubt or cavil :
3s. 6d., 65., and Ifs. per bottle. No other prices are genuine.
