New MODE OF OPERATING. On Sat
Iurday, after the hours of business, a person
entered a brokers' office in Wall-street, and
inquired for the occupant, who happened
just then to be out. The boy having the
care of the Office requested him to sit down
which he accordingly did. Shortly after
wards he refreshed himself from bottle
which, like spinsters of certain age, he
carried in his pocket, and requested the lad
to help himself-which invitation the latter
nothing loth," complied with. The stran-
ger then departed, promising shortly te
call again; the lad fell asleep, overcome by
an oppressive and unaccountable stupor
and on awaking, he found all the money
in the till swept away, and at once attributed
the devastation to the polite stranger of the
liquor bottle. Complaint was made at the
police office, but we have not heard thai
the gentleman has been caught.

! OLIVER BEDE. Oliver was French

time since erected his insignia of office in
our neighborhood,- lit was our bero's land
mark; and be forthwith ingratiated himself
with the ansuspectng professor, patroniz-
ing him. One day. Monsieur, who could
not read word Of English, requested him
to write him notice, that he might paste in
his window, and thereby attract the atten-
ton of the bearded community. Oliver
produced tie following, which the unwary
FrenchmaI with many thanks, pasted on
the window glass;

Oliver not being aware ofthe discovery
entered the shop as usual; the Frenchman
darted forward and placed himself in a
fencing attitude, while he brandished a
keen.edged razor, exclaimed
"Sare You have consult me, and ]

This sudden assault discomftted the wag
not little but with bis usual presence Of
mind, he placed himself in a stage attitude,
and thus addressed the Frenchman, while
he elected the contents Of a powder puff in,
to the poor mans face.
"Avaunt and quit my sight thy razor's edgeless.

He Will never shed a drop of blood tor

with it, if that would conduce to his eleYa-
ton and grandeur. He has only one pas
sion and one feeling which sways hun,
other passions and feelings are very sub
ordinate. He wishes to be the Napoleon
of the Americas. The deeds of great con-
querors inlame him. Ioften observed him
during the long hours that VIC we're togeth-
er. He varied incessontly IN his feelings
between Joy and sadness while reading the
Journal of Count Las Cases. He has a
very strong propensity to herolsm, but he
pursues a contrary course, and those who
cali themselves his friends, far from re
suaining him, urge him on that he may
rush headlong to ruin.
] have often compared him TO the En-
g,ror Aurelian. He wishes to govern like
desDot, but at the same time he desires
the right administration of justice, he de-
tests venality, he encourages me arts and

interests Of agriculture, and attends vlgl-
lantlv 70 the mines. Good civil laws he
maintains and sees them well executed;
the noliticaI laws are all subject to his will.

Detecting ROguCs.-Our once famous
Mr.. Moorehead is said to have declared in
his pulpit, that he knew of man in the
congregation who stole his neighbor's
wood, and that he was determined to throw
his Bible at the suspected thief; whereup-
on a certain man Immediately lodged his
head to avoid the blow.-There is also a
story of Nathaniel Ames, ofDedham, the
well-known almanac maker.-It Is said,
(but we do not vouch for the truth of the
story that in iovial company Of his
neighbors, one Of them declared he had
losta small sum of money, and believed
that some one Of the persons present had
stolen It. Ames told them he could iden-
tify the thief, If he was present, without
searching the pockets. lie ordered the
large kitchen pot TO be brought into the
room, the old cock to be brought from the
.hen-Toost and placed in it with the lid on.
The room was then made perfectly dark,
and each person was then directed TO rlD
his hand on the bottom Of the pot.--lt any
one was guilty Of the theft, when be touch
ed the vessel Ames said the cock would
.crow.-The ceremony was finished but
the cock gave no token Of the approach oil

here must be some mistake, there IS no
thief among Us; bat let Us look at your
hands.-On examination with light, II
was found that one person present had not
rubbed bis hand on TIE pot.--Ihe infer

cuIprit pleaded guilty 10 the charge.

lie PerONse.--It may be remembered that
the Government of Bengal, about eighteen
months ago, despatched the East India
company's ship, the Research, under the
command ofCapt. Dillon, to the Manicolo
Islands, to ascertain, if possible, the fate
of the celebrated French navigator, La
.Perouse, Of whom for half a century, no
certain intelligence was ever obtained.
The Research arrived in January last, in
New South Wales. on her way back from
the Manicolo Islands to Calcutta, Captain
Dillon, having in his possession many
proofs ofthe unfortunate fate of La Perouse
and his companions. The Sydney Botany
Bay) Gazette mentions several Of the artI
cles brought by Captain Dillon from the
scene of the destruction of the lamented
navigator. Among these, the most inter
esting was part ofthe decayed stern Of hts
ship, on which the febrs-de-lis arc still
quite plain. There is also bell, with the
French makers name on 1t, "B0zin ma
faH.0 and some old fashioned china and
culinary utensils, the bottom of silver
candlestick, a sword handle, a silver sal
yer, and Spanish dollar; all affording IN
dubitable proofs of having belonged to the
ship of the navigator. This is a very IN
teresting circumstance, the details ofwhich
we hope to see soon in the English jour
nails. Capt. Dillon was exposed to many
difficulties in the course of his researches.
