AN INGENIOUS SWINDLER.--We find the following in
the Gazette des Tribunaux—Madame B--, who, in part-
nership with her son, keeps a jeweller's shop at the corner of
the Rue de Bussv, was sitting alone behind her counter on
Friday, when a young man exquisitely dressed drove up in a
cabriolet, and asked to be shown -some articles to give as
presents on the jour de l'an. He wanted them, he said, for
his sister, mother, and other friends, and did not require
anything very expensive—a bracelet, two or three gold chains,
some earings, and a brooch would suffice. The lldy has-
tened to display her wares, which the young man examined
like a perfect connoisseur. At last he had concluded his
task of choosine, and desired the bill to be made out, which
amounted to 2,367 f. He then ordered the lady to send the
articles, with the bill and receipt, to hiS residence in the Rue
Tournon in an hour when he would pay the amount. " Not
later," said he, "for I shall be busy with my upholsterer.
He was leaving the shop when a sudden thought appeared to
strike him. "By the by," said he, "show me one of your
time-pieces, but nothing very dear. I want it for an old
aunt, who is as economical as the deuce, and who would be
cispleased to see me lay out much money." This article was
also bought for 70f., and ordered to he brought with the other
things. At the appointed hour Madame B—, by way of
precaution, took her son with her, and proceeded to the Rue
Tournon. The house was a fine one, and she was directed
to a handsome apartment on the first floor. The gentleman
was ready to receive them, and taking the pendule entered
into another room, leaving the door open. " Look, my dear
aunt," he said, " here's the. present I spoke to you about.
Can anything be more simple?" "It is too handsome,"
replied the voice of an aged woman—" far too good •, it must
have cost you a pretty sum—always doing something foolish."
" No, my dear aunt, not this time. It has only cost 70f."
" Well, that is not too much—but the other things, the pre-
sents for your sister and your cousins." "Oh ! I have
them—all equally cheap. I will show them to you, if you
like, with the receipt." " Ah! mauvais sujet—l see you
want me to pay for part of them ; well, well, let me see
them." The young man brought back the pendule to Ma-
dame B—, and taking up the other things said " My aunt
is in excellent humour; I should not t

surprised if she paid
He then returned to the inner room, still leaving
e door open. " Here, my good aunt, see what good taste
•_ _

A nave nispiayert. These are the ear-rings and brooch I in-
tend for my sister." " What I" cried the old woman's voice,
" Brilliants l—very bad taste ! a young girl should never wear
anything but pearls. You ought to have asked her opinion."
" But, my dear aunt—" " I say you ought to have con-
sulted her—go and call her. Let us hear what she has to
say on the matter." " Witb all my heart, my good madam."
He came out again, and addressing the lady and her son
said, " It is only an old woman's fancy ; but she is a good
old soul, and you shall see bow pretty my sister is." He
tnen traversed the ante-chamber, and went to call his sister.
A quarter of an hour,- however, elapsed, and no person ap-
teared. Madame B—and her son couhe and scraed
their feet to attract the attention of the augnt, d bnt no perspon
seemed to mind them. They then ventured to enter the
aunt's room, which to their astonishment and alarm was
empty ! They immediately ran down to the porter and
asked for the gentleman. "Oh ! he has been off some time
in the cabriolet which he hired." " But you know him ?"
asked the alarmed lady. "Oh not 1," said the other; "he
took the apartment yesterday, gave 10f. as the denier-a-
Dieu, and took possession this morning." There could be
no doubt about the matter. An impudent robbery had been
committed by means of ventriloquism, and the ingenious
rival of Alexandre has not yet been discoveted.

INTREPIDITY AND HUMANITY OF ELLISTON.—An ad-
venture took place about this time, which, by one particular,
was rendered somewhat remarkable. A musical star being
in the ascendant, and opera, consequently, the zenith of the
" bills," Elliston's duties did not call him to the theatre
until late in the evening, when he had to play the part of
Don Juan, for about the fiftieth time. Passing down an ob-
scure street, on his way thither, his ears were suddenly
startled by indications of terror and distress, and he disco-
vered, on turning abruptly into a narrow court, the lower
part of a house enveloped in flames. The occupiers had es-
caped unhurt, and most of them, miserably poor, were
watching, either in stupid agora y or with unavailing cries,
the sure destruction of their crazy chattels ; while others,
attracted to the spot by mere curiosity, looked on the scene
only as an exhibition prepared for their special gratification,
and every fresh evidence of ruin but as a coup de thedere,
which they welcomed with applause. Amidst the bewildering
appeals of the surrounding sufferers, the most heart rending
were those of a middle-aged female, who, running from spot
to spot, and threading the crowd without any identical pur-
pose of action, exclaitned--" Poor Jamie! he's gone—he's
gone !—no one can help poor daft Jamie l" By the language
and manner of the woman, it was clear some one yet re-
mained unrescued, and at the mercy of the element. Ellis-
ton instantly pushed forward to the frantic Suppliant, and
oon understood that, in an upper apartment, some helpless
'ned, whose awful fate was momentarily
stue-nour of the house afforded still the possi-
oility of ingress. Of the chance Elliston. availed himself—
he rushed up the staircase, followed fortunately by a by-
stander, emboldened by this example, and found himself
nstantaneously in a wretched attic, where, on a still more
' millet, lay extended a poor bed-ridden being, whose
--wed roused to a glimmering sense of some

,illimpr

)ut who had neither power of utterance

nor ability of motion. • Amidst the varied evidences of decay
around him, this wreck of humanity—age, idiotcy, and in-
firmity, with their attendant poverty, each in its extreme—
powertully affected him. Lost for a moment to the frightful
progress of the element, he stood motionless and appalled.
" 'Tie useless !" exclaimed the man who had followed him—
"ho cannot be saved ! the stairs are already in flames !"
"He can—he shall !" ejaculated-Elliston—" be steady, and
we can accomplish it." Approaching the bed, Elliston
raised the poor creatnre in his arms, and binding about him
the tattered remnant of sheet and clothing—as much to
disarm his feeble attempts to be free, as for the coffering
it might nifulti—carried him to the head of the stair-
case. The mingling clamour of apprehension and encourage-
ment from the mob below kept his energy at its pitch, but to
descend the flight thus encumbered was impossible. The fire
was mounting, and suffocation inevitable. With difficulty
be had passed to the first landing, where, forcing a side-
window, he presented his nearly-rescued charge to the mul-
titude, But the shrieks and struggles of the sufferer—the
difficolty of making the crowd understand that they were to
assist him prom below, all, imperatively, the work of a few
seconds—had ne;rly left them in one common ruin. At
length, liow?.ver, by the aid of his companion, all was accom-
plished. The living burden was lifted on the sill, lowered
by the fragile ta.dcle„ and tell, unhurt, into the contrived
treillage of the people. The two liberators now effected their
own escape—not terrific, indeed, in descent, but within
three minutes the whole interior was in flames.

The attendance of buyers to-day has not been very numer-
ous, and barely one-half of the Cotton offered at public
auction was sold, at prices much on a par with previous busi-
ness by private. The sales to-day are estimated at 4000
bales. The weekly sales reach 27,250, of which speculators
have taken 4600 and exporters 450 bales, the remainder by
the trade.

MADRAS, Nov. 22.—1 t blew a severe gale 24th ultimo, and serious
damage has been done both here and at Pondicherry. The Eme-
rald, of Liverpool, succeeded in riding .out the gale, after being
obliged to cut away her masts, and is so much strained that she
has been surveyed, condemned, and sold. The Francis Smith, Ed-
monds, went on shore near the Seven Pagodas, and has become a
total wreck Ist and 2nd mates, and 8 seamen drowned ; part of
the cargo saved. The Ganges, Godson ; Arethusa, Clarke : High-
lander, Nichol, and Ten, Smith, are stranded on the beach south of
this harbour.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JANUARY 10th.
A moderately fair supply of Oats and Flour, with a further
liberal accession of Oatmeal, have arrived from Ireland into
this port since Tue§day last, but of Wheat and other grain
thence, or of any article coastwise, except Malt, we have
little to notice ; and from abroad the imports consist merely
of 444 bags of East India Flour, with 1404 qrs. of Beans
from Egypt.
An indication of amendment in the leading markets of this
district last week, and the rise in London yesterday, commu-
cated a better feeling to the Wheat trade here this morning ;
and, having a tolerable appearance of local and country
buyers, an increase of 2d. to 3d. per 701bs. over the rates of
this day week was paid upon most descriptions of both Irish
and foreign, whilst English Wheat, although rather scarce,
barely commanded a proportionate improvement; the ad-
vance, however, evidently tending to check any extensive
demand, the transactions on the whole were but moderate in
amount.

Irish Flour was taken off rather freely, and prime marks
were Is. per sack higher, States, as well as Canadian, at the
same time fully supporting late prices.
English Malting Barley, in the.absence of arrivals, would
realise the increased terms noted on Friday ; but in grinding
qualities, or in Malt, Beaus, or Pease, no change was per-
ceptible.

Oats met some inquiry, resulting in sales to a moderate
extent at an amendment of id. per 451bs ; and Oatmeal may
be noted 6d. per 2401b5. dearer, but was not readily saleable
above the rates of this day se'nnight.
