SWINDLING.

At three o'clock on Friday aftettioon,a widow in—
troduced herself- to Mr. Taylor, the. proprietor of tt
respectable boarding-house, No. 72, Wimp Ole-street,:
auttaltbough their acquaintance was ofshOrt-dura.4
tiori, she gave him, cause to.ebarge ber,witbfelony,!
and many of his trading. neighbours to charge her,
with fraud. 'She-, represented herself to :be Mrs.
Gynu, ,a widow well,endowek and said she tad a
sop, who, by virtue.of his father's will, possessed the
family house, and large property-at Sunbury, and as he,
was going to be married,-it was necessaryfor him to'
come to London first, and they wanted a private'
lodging. When Mr. Taylor went before Mr.
Rawlinson, of Marylebone4tice,' yesterday, to, make
his complaint, said bethought he was.a tolera-,
judge- in 'these matters, for he had• experienced,
many losses; hut somehow Of other the widow deCel red
him, and. he let her the apartments she Wanted.—
"-What, without a reference?" said Mr. Rawlinson.
" She said if I would lend here pair of sheets till Mon-;
day," replied Mr. Taylor, " her son •would come to:
town on that day, and bring plenty of linen and'
plate with him ; and I thought ,a large quantity of
ljnel444,plate. in the house would make me secure;
'ariaraSsure you, Sir, the appearance of the'femalg,
servant she brought with her •was sufficient alone to
prevent *suspicion. She was so neat, so—l don't
knoW what ;:she looked as if she bad lived at least
fifteen years with her mistress; and I believe I can
tell ninety-ninc!out of a hundred by their looks,who
intend to be dishonest." Mr. Rawlinson said
jocosely; if he possessed that power of discrimina-
tion, he would make a good police officer ; and his
failure in the present instance could only be ac-
counted for by supposing he had met with the one
in a hundred which he Could not. distinguish. After
the widow bad managed the business so far she sent
her servant to favour the neighbouring tradespeople
with orders. They were not executed without inquiry
being first made at Mr. Taylor's house; but his house-
keeper, like her master, believing the widow's tale
to be true, said there was no danger, and the good
things of this world were poured in in abundance.
Mr. Mallalue, grocer, next door, sent in some of his
best articles-to the tune 0f.2/..1.55. IlAd.; Mr. Beit,
corner of Queen Anne-street, six bottles of choice.
port wine; Mr. Roberts, Mary,lebone-street, a York-
shire barn ; Mrr Smith, Welbeck-street, grapes,
apples, and other delicious fruits ; Mr. Bentham,
Marylebone-street, all that heart can wish for out of
an Italian warehouse ; and the baker, at the corner of
Queen Anne-street, fancy bread and biscuits worth
ss. 4d. • .

The widow sent again to Mr. Best for brandy
and rum, a circumstance which made Mr. Best
doubt the safety of his wine, and he called the next
morning for payment. " VOu-muSt call again in an
hour," .said the widow's maid, " for my mistress is
ill." Mr. Best did call again in an hour, and then
the widow was gone, and all the articles of neces-
sity and luxury before-mentioned were gone too,
together with two damask napkins belonging to. Mr.
Taylor, which, she , stole, no doubt, for the purpose
of tying them up in.
Mr. Rawlinson said the greatest mischief resulted
to tradesmen from the facility with which such cha-
racters-got admission into respectable houses, and he
was sorry Mr. Taylor hail not been more cautious.
It was his opinion- that whenever it could be brought
home to a landlord that he had let a house in apart-
melds without making due inquiry,--and evil arose
from it, he ought to bear the consequences. In this
case he would give no redress, unless the parties
were brought before -him : but.he hoped it would be
made public, as a caution to-other shopkeepers.
The mistress was blit little seen : she is about 35,
and of middle stature., The maid is about two
inches .shorter, 30 years old, fair, ruddy,
,and. has
:grey eyes, and a slight impediment in her speech,
which .may be assumed; and both her hands- are
sore, and poulticed or bandaged. .

The leading causes of the'panic in the money
market seem to have bees nearly the same as-tbsose circus
lated on Saturday. We have reason to think, however,
that more truth attaches to the report of a blockade of the
Dardanellei being intended by the Russians than we then
imagined..: It is now: said that a formal application .has
been made to this Government by the Russian Minister, to
sanction such' a proceeding, and that a Cabinet Council
which sat this afternoon had been occupied in deliberations
on it. A majority of the Cabinet, it is also understood,
were against granting any such permission. Hence, as
there appears no alternative to the alarmists, except a
'quarrel with Russia, the chief cause of to-day's panic is to
be deduced. They overlook the more obvious construc-
tion which ought to be put upon it—that a consultation of
one member of the alliance with another does not necessa-
rily imply a threat; and that this, when Russia is rather
deeply involved in the consequenCes of one quarrel, is not
the Most likely time to seek another. The real object of
4the Russians is believed to be, not a separate blockade of
thp Dardanelles by their own fleet; but a concurrence of
the fleets 'of France and England. in such an, operatioe. •
This refused, they can do nothing. It is supposed by very
good judges, that any force the Russians can collea in the
Mediterranean for a separate blockade, would be over-
matched by.the fleet which the Turks po,:sess in Constan-
tinople.— Times.

The success of the Zoological exhibition in
the, Regent's Park has so far exceeded expectation, that
the Managers talk of giving a fete • chanspetre during the
ensuing season.

A late Professor at Cambridge who had been
Senior Wrangler of his year, on being asked, a few days
after, if he pu►posed going to London, replied that he bad
intended so.to do, but should defer. his journey for a short
time till the affair had blown over,a little.

MISS SMITHSON.—Thee followinff is an
extract of a private letter froin Paris The London
play7going people require not to be- informed. that Miss
SMITHSON is a fine young woman in. the prime of life, pos-
sessing a handsome and.expressive countenance, and a tall
and graceful figure—qualifications of the first order •for a
tragic heroine. I had freqUently seen Miss SMITHSON
perform in London ; always. considered her a young
lady of considerable capabilities fur her profession ; but,
notwithstanding all that I had read and heard of her suc-
cess in Paris, I feared that partiality, or some local or in-
cidental circumstance, might have induced the glowing
eulogiunis ;pronounced upon her. Thus; predisposed, •I'
will candidly confess that her first words on Wednesday
night caused me much pain. They were uttered in a petty
and discordant tone, which I cannot believe to have its
origin in any organic defect, and shall therefore not con-
ceal the unpleasant effect they produced upon me. • A
very few minutes, however, sufficed to set me at my ease.
Her voice. became round and firm, yet full of pathos, and
so remained throughout the performance, except at the
commencement of each scene,,when the same imperfection
invariably presented itself. I will not attempt to follow
Miss SMITHSON throughout the whole, of her personifica-
tion of the affectionate, the devoted, the doting Belvidera.
It was from first 'to last almost faultless ; not progressively
increasing in energy and excellence, far it was as good in
the early as in the latter scenes; but rising to perfection
where her good sense and good taste suggested to her that
effort was necessary. In one or two scenes her action re-
minded me of Miss•O'Nxict.," without the slightest ap-
proach, however, to imitation of that highly-gifted lady.
