A NEW TRICK BY PARISIAN

ROGUES.
During the last few months a number of students have
been swindled by means of a new trick, which may be
called le vol au duel. The authorities being informed of
the proceeding, endeavoured to lay hands on the guilty
parties, but ineffectually. On Sunday, however, chance
caused one of them to be caught in the fact. A young
student, named Louis Renaud, was returning from the
Chaumiere, a little the worse for certain bowls of punch
which he had freely partaken of, when a tall man, wear-
ing a foreign order, pushed against him, crying out,
Why the deuce don't you look before you ; are my feet
the kerbstone ? Give me your card." The student,
nut exactly knowing what the whole matter ia as about
mechanically complied with the requisition. He soon
,got to his lodging, and in a few minutes was fast asleep.
;Ihe.next morning he was awoke by a loud knocking at
his room. He jumped up, and opening the door, found
-hlulself in tace of two strangers, " Sir," said one of

the visitors, "we are sent to 3=ou by Captain Grinoski,
whom you insulted grossly last night. Name your
seconds, that we may arrange.
,the conditions of
your meeting." The student then recollected some.
thing of what had occurred, and expressed his sorrow
at anything that might have happened, declaring
that his head had been too much worked on by
what he had drunk to allow him to form any opinion of
what he might have done. " All that is very possible,"
said the stranger, " but the captain is not satisfied ; and
the proof is, that although he was to have set out for
Algeria this morning at seven o'clock, and his place in
the diligence and his passage on board the steamer were
paid for, he has remained here to obtain complete satis-
faction." The student repeated his apology ; but the
other cried out, " All that is very fine ; but who is lo
pay my friend for the money he has forfeited ?" The
student, happening to have some of his quarter's allow-
ance left, thought it would be better to bear the expense'
incurred by the captain, and offered to do so, provided
the sum demanded was not too high. The strangers
moderated their tone at this proposition, anti declared
that twenty Napoleons would suffice. The young man
stating that he did not -possess the whole of this sum.
was recommended by his visitors to pledge a handsome
gold watch, which. was hanging at the head of his
bed. While he .was hesitating about such a sacrifice,
an elderly man, who occupied the next room, and
had heard the whole of,the dialogue, very quietly opened
his door, and seizing one of the rogues by the collar,
cried out for help to secure the other. The fellow, how-
ever, ran for it, and eventually escaped. The other was
at once taken before the Commissary of Police, where
he was recognised as a notorious rogue, named Che-
vigney, already five times condemned for various acts of
swindling.— Gaily/taxi.

We have been for some time aware of a circum-
stance which, though it may not be wholly unknown to
the authorities, we deem it, nevertheless, our duty now
thus publicly to notice. We do so, not from any mis-
givings as to the precautionary measures which, we pre-
sume, must have been taken in the matter, but because
We hope by this open allusion to the subject to deter
certain parties who, for the meanest motives of personal
profit, foment a delusion which may result in conse
quences the most disastrous. The facts are these :—An
Irish nobleman, residing in London, has long been la-
bouring under the absurd delusion that he is the object
of unremitting persecution on the part of the highest
personages in the State. He believes that he is con-
stantly watched by their emissaries—that his servants
are bribed by them to'' drug" his food; in fact, to poison
hies. He has, moreover, complained bitterly, that her
Majesty 'has estranged his wife from him, and that
she has actually gone so far in her enmity as to cause
two little girls, illegitimate children of his, mere infants,
to be corrupted. Not long since he consulted a military
tailor at the west-end, as to the most becoming uniform
for his " guard,'! as he said matters must soon come to
an issue. He hesitates to take even a glass of wine until
some other person tastes it before him, lest it should be
" drugged;" and yet, if this unhappy delusion were not
in itself sufficiently deplorable, psrsons are found base
enough to feed the madness of the unhappy man with
stories of their having seen her Majesty and Sir Robert
Peel, and tvcertained the truth of his fear respecting
their designs against him. Thus his excitement is con-
stantly stimnlated. We greatly mistake, however, if
this public notice of such conduct will not put an end to
their proceedings ; and we have only to add that, should
the authorities not already be sufficiently informed on
the subject, we shall, without the slightest reserve, lay
all the facts before them.—Observe,.

PILLS, prepared by Thomas Allen, late of Mile-end-road,
Ale.nber of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, and Licentiate
of the Apothecaries' Company, and a pupil of the late eccentric and
celebrated John Abernethy, Esq., F.R.S. ; twenty-two years a prin-
cipal Surgeon to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. During a practical
trial of twenty years, these Pills have been found an invaluable
remedy in cases of Mdigestion, liver, and bilious complaints. For
derangements of the digestive organs and obstructions, a sluggish
action of the liver and bowels, which occasions more or less the fol-
lowing symptoms, viz., heartburn, giddiness, acidity, headache,
sick-missdistentionspasms, and flatulent distention of the stomach and
bowels, drOwsinem and dimness of sight, an uncomfortable sense•
tint experienced at the pit of the stomach soon after eating, with a
feeling of a weight of oppression, . appetite impaired, breathing diffi-
cult, tenderness about the region of the liver, bowels irregular, some-
times obstinately costive with languor and depression of spirits.
