The prison in attendancp refused to let her haat the article, but promised to send an assortment a round-,the next morning. This was accordingly done, when it was discovered that no such thing had been ordered. and that they had no knowledge whatever of the girl. Our merchants will have to keep a bright look out for such creatures, In 'fu ture; as every plan, which ingenuity can contrive, will be practiced upon them.
