Persons in the habit of riding in omnibuses cannot be too careful of their pockets, or guarding against the depredations of a gang of "swell mob " thieves, both male and female, who have latterly adopted the system of' getting into omnibuses, and when the vehicle becomes crowded, practising the veiling with much success. The dress and ap- p.:a:ince of these somewhat accomplished thieves are such as to remove all suspicion of what they really are, so that they carry on their system of plunder with almost perfect impunity, and are not unfrequently as- sisted in doing so by the omnibus cads and conductors, many of whom have ben thieves dictum:iv-vs.—Tina's.
Sa y, there was a pi ize-tiAlit at Norwood, between two young ince named Hardaway and Edwards. The battle originated in a guar- rel. The combatants fought for an hour and a half, and then Edwards could go on no longer. llis brother, who had in vain endeavoured to st;•:, the battle, took him in a cart to Itenmark hill to get medical aid,
but he be.fore it could be obtained. Hardaway and the four second, have been committed, from the Union Hall Office, to be tried for manslaughter. The retainer of Edwards's seconds and backers seems to have been most brutal, as they urged the poor wretch to light alter he could not stand. SIr. Chiles Dawes, of 19, Maddox Street, Hanover Square, has written a letter to the newspapers, giving an account of an attempt by
an officer who wears the "crown button," and calls himself " patio," to seduce young women, by procuring interviews with them by means of an advertisement for " am accomplished governess, to whom a libe- ral salary would be given." The letters were ordered to be sent to 19, Aladdox Street, directed to Mrs. Knight ; and upwards of fifty were sent. There was no Mrs. Knight at No. 19; and Mr. Dawes, suspecting that all WaS not right, refused to give up the letters to the Captain ; who, according to Mr. Dawes, atter bullying for sonic time, became very submissive, acknowledged his real object in inserting the advertisement, and" crouched like a lashed hound" when he was dis- covered. 31 r. Dawes concludes his letter by styling the gallant Cap- tain " a self-convicted liar, and a dishonoured man." The Gfehe says that this 't monkcylicd apology for a man " lodged in a third fluor in a Louse in Regent Street, previous to the discovery; but has since decamped, probably- fearing the punishment which some father or bro- ther might be tempted to intliet.
