Al’aperof Tobacco! r havo long teen Impressed with the idea :thafc Colonel J. B. Thorpe, author of .the sto ries and sketches of Western Life, professedly written by “Toh Owes; the'Bee Hunter,” was the man who should have written n full, true, and particular account of the history and mystery ef Tobacco—its uses and- effects and defects—what it did aild what it did not. From His facile pen, accurate judgment, and thoughtful mind ■ have had a -book in which fact and-fancy would- have been happily mingled, in which’ossthetics and com mon sense would have bean finely balanced, in which the Philosophy and-tbe practice of those who lovoj as well as those who hate “ the weed” Would have skilfully exhibited. : Da aliter I 1 visum 1 He has yet to write that book.- TVTxat wore our grounds ftr believing him to have had a special mission to giveto tho Nicotian plant such “local 1 habitation and a name” as ft printed book can bestow? Not alone be cause that no;man can be. a better judge of tho ■weed, In all shapes andgplses; but-bociuso;' •ovor fivo yerJs ngo, ho actuaily commepced it —so far, as diawing the plan, laying down tho ifouhdation-waUs, and raising tho scaffold for the. perftet worki - tVe scarcely violato the editorial sanctity of Harpers’ Magazine wbon ,wo say that, in, the number of that world-read periodical for June, 1856, tho opening ’article, “The HißtoTy . and. Mystery, of To diacco,” with a round, dozen of characteristic OUustrations, was front Colonel Thorpe’s pen. covers nearly twentypages in tiio maga |eine, and contains the concentrated essonce of |hvo hundred. ’ Almost any other man, with hucb copious knowledge of the’subject, and jsuch extensive materials as Col. Thorps pos sesses,would, have turned them into a comfort able’l2mo. -!■ In-that article was given a better history pf Tobacco than has yet been written, and |ha Illustrations ore worthy "of it, First,,in ft iYeo-aneUeasy group, we see “ The Smokers t.6f all Nations,”; of that fiablitno tobaoco! which from 6act to wdflt Cheers the tar’s labor or the Turkman’s rest; which on the Moslem’s ottoman divides jHis hours, and rivals ofiurn and his hides; (Magnificent in Btamboul, but less grand, Though not lora-lovtd, in Wupplng or the Strand. %Tiicn calno tlio Great Spirit, smoking on ft ijnagniflccnt scale, his hollowed epearapplled to less than a volcano, which it uses as a tobncco-pipo. Next, reveries of a cigar, with -(pleasant pictures in tho smoke-cloud which the Young puffer was emitting. There, too; the Hindoo, with, amber-tipped'Hookah,between t\te Ups; Mexican loveliness, playing on a hjlcony with,the delicate cigarette; the rising igerieration, prematurely old and unmistakably ‘loaferish, educating themselves Into a liking for . the plant ; the bond of sympathy, exhibited by .wo stranger, in tho. street,. giving light to Smother from his own cigar; the comfort of smoking, ns shown by an Hibernian applo > woman, with her stall under a lamp-post, in dulging in tbo use of that short clay-pipe, classically called a dudccn. The illustrations are admirable, worthy of tho toxt, which Is in Thorpe's happiest vein, crowded with facts had sparkling with quiet humor. • AVhat Col. Thorpe declined doing hasheon attempted in England—though by no means so completely 'executed as if he had done it. ,Th°re has lately been published in London, ;KftU 100 illnstrations by the author, a,very 'aMidsomo- volume cntitlod^'rTobacco; Its History and Associations: including an Ac count of the Hiant and its manufacture: by F. AV. Faihuoit, F. S. A., author of “Cos tumes in England.” ' If this book be reprinted here, wo protest against the omission. of a .single ono of the engravings. ' Mr. Fairholt, (wtiQln tte know as an able artist, a diligent antiquarian, a pleasing writer, and an excellent art-critic,) labors under ono great drawback, as a writer upon Tobacco. AVhat shall bo said of tho boldness of a man who actually Writes an illustrated octavo upoii Tobacco, and yet neither smokes,' snuffs, nor chews 7 AVb should just as soon expect a volume on tho history and manufacture of Al coholic liquors from the pen of Hrofesors Charles D. . Cleveland, who never drinks. Yet, Sr.' Fairholt has some claim to write, though ho knows nothing of the flavor of a ge nuine CRbana or of a pinch of Lundyfoot. His father , was a tobacco vendor, his . own play ground was tho tobacco warehouse, and old associations,- no doubt, led him to write upon the subject. At the same time, though ho eschews (and does not chew) Tobacco, hb is no controversialist, and does not imitate King James I, in giving «a counter-blasto to To bacco.” . Over 28,000,000 pounds of tobacco •wore consumed in Great Britain in 1851, and, there fore, the subject haa-great interest in that country. Wo would judge, from the much greater use of tho plant with ourselves, that for every pound of tobacco used in «the old country,” ten must ho consumed here. With ua, it goes off in smoking and chewing. In Great Britain, tho latter use (ahuso ?) is rare, being chiefly confined to sailors. In England, tobacco is as much snuffed as smoked. The high duty of two dollars per pound limiting tho consumption of cigars to comparatively wealthy people there, smoking is chiefly in pipes, of all Borts aud sizes. You rarely, save among «tho lower 0103808,” as they are mis called, find any smokers under the full ago of manhood, and, as a general rule, an Englishman Is twenty-five years old cro ho take to smo king. In Ireland and in Scotland, tobacco is most exclusively used for smoking or snuffing —clay pipes, rather coarsely mado, being chiefly in iu both countries. In Scotland, every other man carries a snuff-box, out of which he takes what he used to call his « meeshin.” In Wales, also, tobacco is largely used. Each of these countries bas a peculiar snuff of its own. There is Scotch rappeo and Welsh high-dry. In England, there are many variotles. One, which was popular many years ago, wfiß called Prince's Mixturo, because George IV, when Prince of Wales—“the rascallicst, sweetest young prince,” as Falstafl' said of one of his predecessors—took the trouble of compounding it. This is a dark, moist, scented snuff, far from pungent. The Scotch, Irish, and Welsh snuffs are highly 1 dried, which causes moro titilation than tho English. One description of snuff, sometimes called “ Irish Blackguard,” and sometimes known as “ Lundyfoot,” has obtained no small noto- riety. Some sixty or seventy years ago, a tobacconist named Lundy Foot flourished in Dublin. He mado a largo fortune by his busi ness, with which he retired, and, having large landed estates, concluded his career, very comfortably, as an Irish Squire—freo, how ever, from the debts and duns, protested notes and foreclosing mortgages, which so sorely af flicted that class before the establishment of the Irish Encumbered Estates' Court. Ono of Foot's workmen, a little too much addicted to iinbibations of “ tho cratur,” had neglected a tasl of snuff, as it is called, which was baking in tho oven. Lundy Foot, who was escorting some visitors over his factory, when ho discovered this neglect and carelessness, scolded the man, and incontinently damned him for an Irish blackguard. When tho snuff W as drawn out of the oven, he took a pinch of It more from custom than in hope—and dis covered that it had a now and peculiar flavor, communicated to it by the extra drying. His friends also tried, and liked it. The experi ment was repeated on a largo scale, with suc cess and tho new snuff 1 soon became popular, though it was not, most palpably, a thing « not to he, sneezed at.” The workman was re warded for his fortunate c&rolessness, and, to compensate tor the previous scolding, was de sired to name the snuff. He called it «Irish Blackguard,” from the title conferred on him ne)JY in anger, by his employer. W© wore completing the last previous sen tence hero, when in came an Irish friend—him self a racy writer—who has tho rare privilege of entering the" Sanctum ”at any’time, bo ciuse bo does not waste our time, when we are; busy,' by conversation. Ho told up an anec dote apropos of Lunds,Foot, which, we shall transfer hither. Mr.' Foot, when bo ; had settled down into the qtium fym dignitale of a country Squire, purchased, for. his son, a eometoy- in that celebrated dragoon regimont, the Tenth Hussars—at that time the most exclusive, and. extravagant regiment in the British army.

He Joined his regiment, and; hftor his first dinner at .the mess, a brother-officer handed round a snuffbox, of. the contents Of which every body partook with, apparent relish. The.box was handed to’ Cornet Foot, with, the remark,, “You wllli ceftainiy.reUsh; that, snuff, for it is your father’s. 1 Irish Blackguard.’. ’’ '< ■■ • •. ‘ Foot, took a pinch, and smilingly said that ho know so little of the - business in which his father badmade a fortune; that-'He was'Unable to say whether it was'Me snuff, but he could perceive it was a very superior article. This was the'only notice he then foot of the attempt .to annoy, .if not insult him. Next day, altec dinner, Cornet Foot- produced .a handsome gold snuff-box, and, presenting it to his neigh bor who had producedtho “Irishblackguard ” on the previous day, said : “ Here is a mixture of my own which I can recommend—lt has a sharp flavor.” The box was, opened, and the officer, looking at its contents (the flneatgiazed. PigOU,) exclaimed, “ Whjy this., is gunpow der?” The box, rapidly passed from hand to hand. Young Foot then answered,-'“You endeavored to insult mo' yesterday, on account of. my father’s trade. ■ If you ■havo the courage of men or the honor of soldiers,• you will know that the, contents of my snuff-box iritiniate' a desire .to have satisfaction for the insult. -1 cannot fight all of you, but if there be even one man of spirit among you, he will take up.the glove which I thus cast down, and meet mo in fair fight.” At the period of this story, it was notorious' that the officers of “ The Tenth” were'feadler with insult than satisfaction.

[For The Proas,] * PfIiLADKLnniA; Sept. 1,1850.' Mb. Editor.: May I ask. the favor of your inser tion of a few linoS, made necessary by your kind notice of a work on the prophecies bearing upon the present crisis, in TAs Press of this date ? ’ I' have reference to the statement 'that “ Queen Yio-* toria is married rlthink-you will find an explanation in the book, to this effect, that Prince. Albert, who, with, the .British Constitution.,was, in profession, in order Jq ( become the husband , of „Qiiecn Victoria; had, originally a member of the Rotoah Catholic persuasion; and the inferende' is drawn, that ha continues to he-such at heart,' notwithstanding the avowal* of Protestintism, ex torted by. his position. This statement has been' very earnestly impeached, and its correctness has been denied by some who speak authoritatively. 1 cannot provo that I am correct, but I can state the authority on whiob the remark was-made by me. I'remember distinctly before'the marriage of Vic toria, the bitter denunciations of; the'match- con tained in some of leading' British - periodicals. If I am right, the London ZV&K*..was; the. most virulent in its condemnation of the.alliance,;*nd the expression “ England V Queen dallying with-a Papist” still adheres to’my memory; I found subsequently that the Rev. Dr. Jenkin assumes in one. of his works,the same ground,'and until, after I had mentioned in my bqok that such was .tho foot X had never-heard it questioned by any one. And yet, 1 mat be wrong:.inadvertently: I may havo formed a hasty Cbocluiloh relative to the an tecedents of Prince Albert, against whom I oer-’ taialy have no grudge or prejodJoS 'Whstever. Bo far I adhere to toe opinion expressed : by mb in tho book; and yet, -I am freo to- acknowledge that very strong statements from person's who speak with great assurance oh the ground of positive know-' ledge, have been made to the contrary; and-they may be right, though I believe they are mistaken. Yours truly, * .J. F. Bbb«. Outrageous • dwindle upon Fifteen Philadelphia topg Ladies* i* [From tho New York Herald of Sc*tender Ist.) ’ * Ono of die most remarkable cases .cf swindling which have beenperpetrated for A long time,name to light last evening, in which it appears that, 63 alleged, fifteen young ladies of Philadelphia were duped by a person named Johnson, who, under tho pretence of hiring them ,os teachors of music in Southern families, managed to get them to this city, and then decamped with about' ono hundred and fifty dollars of their money and nfprly all their baggage, amounting in value to .between four and five thousand dollars. . The circumstances of the ease go to show that the party rfho carried out this swindle hod laid his’ plans admirably,' afld so * successful was he that several leading merchants uf Philadelphia. were also victimized by him. It seems that; about two weeks ago, an advertisement appeared in the Phi ladelphia Ledger, stating that fifteen young ladies were wanted' to go South and teach' mnaio In pri vate families. The party .advertising had- also colled npon the firm of Smith, .Woodman, & -,Co. t , publishers, No. 609 Chestnut street', who.frequentr |y furnish music teachers, and stating his object to. them, they at once agreed to proonre the required number, and thoso answering the advertisement were requested to call upon the above firm.. The result of the advertisement, ti might he ex pected, brought very many a fid the addrosses of the young ladies being-furnished Johnson, be at once sought an Interview with them. Various stories were related to them, respecting’.the positions that wore required to be filled, and .after several days some fifteen young ladies were ac cepted by Johnson. From the fact that Johnson had succeeded in misleading the above firm, many of the friends and parents were lod to suppose that all was os represented, and they were imme diately fitted ou* for the journey. Some six were to be promised situations in the family «f a Mr. Brooks in Alabama, while others were to be located on various plantations. Moreover, they were each to pay half thoir travelling expensos, and Tuesday, tho 30th ult, was alloted as tho timo of departure. Accordingly, on Tuesday evening the young ladies were at the railroad depot, and under ■ the care’ of Mr. Johnson they left for Now York, intending to take-the steamer for Alabuna. yesterday; Soon after they left Philadelphia, the ooodpotor of the train oalfod for fhelrfore; when Johnson refused to pay, and told them'that he' did not bearpart of their expenses until thoy left from 1 New Yoik. They were accordingly oompellod to pay their own fare to New, York. ■- ’ On their arrival in this city yesterday morning, eight of them were oondusted to the Howard Hotel, Broadway, and- the others to some other hotel, their whereabouts not as yot having been ascer tained. Their baggage was all sent to tho Stevens Hotel, Johnson stating he had engaged rooms for them at that house, but they being somewhat crowded they could not be acoommoa&ted until evening. Soon after breakfast he called upon them at their rooms, and stated that he. would.require their portion of thoir money as he was going to procure their tickets in the steamer. Accordingly each of the young ladies handed him over fifteen dollars, and, saying he would'retnrn soon, he left, lie proceeded to the offioo of the hotel, and there succeeded in getting the loan of five dollars, and departed, saying that he would bo back.in a short, time. About two o’clock tho proprietors of tho hotel received a letter,' signed by Johnson, stating that ho wished them to inform the young ladies that he would not be back till four o’olook,'owing to his not being able to arrange his banking papers. One of the young ladies finally became suspicions that all was not right, and proceeded to the Stevens Hotel to make inquiries about her. baggage, when to her surprise she found that all the baggage, with the exception of a few .of the trunks, had been removed, and that , Johnson had onllod for them. . . \ - The foot was accordingly made knoandto the pro prietor of the Howard-House, and, upon further Investigation, no traces -of the. whereabouts of Johnson could be learned, or whore he had carried tho trunks.. Depnty Superintendent Carpenter be ing made aware of the foot, immediately detailed Deteotive Slowey to work up the case, but up to a late hour last evening ho had obtained no'clue to him. It is thought that he has fled the eity. He la described as being a man about five loot six Inches In height, sabdy hair, and was dressed in brown sack coat and check pants. The trank be longing to one of the. young ladies is said to have contained nearly $l,OOO .worth of valuables. Last evening thoy wero all congregated together at the hotel m tho greatest state of excitement. The proprietors, however, informed them that they could remain at ease, as their houae was open to thorn until they could return homo. > Several of their friends from Philadelphia, who were hero in the city, called on them, having hoard of their un fortunate position, and offered them any assistanoo required: Johnson represented that he owned a large plantation in Alabama, and • over one hun dred slaves. !
