LADY THIEVES In Tail's Edinburg Magazine for May, which ;s not reprinted in this country, we find a very entertaining article on the subject of 'genteel Thieves.' .We give an extract or two: Let tne say something, then, about Lady Thieves, and inform Mr.Moule, and Mr. Every body Else, bow I have been learned to handle that sort of businees When I first opened shop I knew nothing about it—had never be stowed a thought upon it;. and, when ono day 1 saw a genteel-looking young girl drop her cambric handkerchief upon rth artiole which I usually sold for a guinea, and taking both up together, convoy them to her placket, I siezed her unceremoniously, hauled her into my back roam, rung the bell for the maid, had liter searched, found the article upon her, sent for a Bow street officer (there were no policemen then,) and gave her into custody. yhat a fool I was, - to be sure! It happened / that her father was a elergyMan, backed by high con nections, and lOoko'd foro4ard to V° 'a bishop before tong. He bailed her out in no, time— came down uPorr:me with a charge of conspir acy,,and threats Of transportation for life, badgered my serving - wench out of his wits, first himself , and then sot a hatchet-faced fellow to cross-examine; her, who drove her clean bewildered—more fool I for letting him do it; but I knew no better. I saw it would never do to take the case to trial with such a witness, and by Jove, SIM saved me the, trou ble by bolting away before the day of trial Caine. I was obliged to withdraw .the charge and pretend that it was all a mistake. The clergyman talked of prosecuting me for a con spiracy ; but ho had some conscience and only talked ; the girl, I have no doubt, had' con fessed the theft to him. As I was I gut the reputation of a monster ; AM' only recovered my ohmmeter by acknowledging that I must have boon drunk at, the time, I, who was ne ver drunk in my life! The affair cost toe fifty pounds in cash, and damaged my connec tion to the extent of at least - two hundred pounds more. I should have been ruined, but the pnreon got his bishopric, and left my neighborhood ; I put a new name on. my sign board, and in time the event was forgotten.- 1 had learned a valuable lesson. -" Tho next lady-thief who favored me with a visit did me the honor to rob me to the amount of two-pounds-ten. She did it so clumsy that 1 could not avoid seeing her. I affected not to notice it : smilingly tock her order to the amount of a few shillings, and whorl I Sent home the goods, put . the stolen artielo down in the bill. She called the next driy, with the utmost affability; informed trio of the tnis• take I had ;auk in charging nn article I had not sent, and which she had not ordered.— Silo • brought her foompanionj with her, to prove that the article charged was not in the packet of goods sent—whicli, of course, 1 latow well enough. I admitted " the mis tako" with perfect good-humor, and she went away. It be acknowledged that I learned my lesson well; but though I congratulated my , delf 011 that score, I thought the teaching too expensive, and resolved to try another plan next time. I had not long to wait for an cp- Portunity. Lady , the wife of a baronet took a fancy to some property of rather rare description, and concealed it hi the fold of hcr diceve, When .he made ]ter - purchases, •equcotc.l her, untie: the pretence tloi. I into the parlor. Closing, the door after her, 'Your ladyship is'not aware,' said I, 'of what you have done--I have observed that at times . ou aro very abstracting in your manner; low me to sire* you what, you have been do• Ag.' With that I cought her firmly by the ,rzn, and in an instant drew forth my proper y She blushed red as fire, and her eyes ashed—but she recovered herself in an in• ant burst into a laugh and cried, 'Really Mr. Drown, I m much oblidged to you---who would have tb ght that I had been so dis rain. Nhy r lly, I have robbed you with ur knowing it. ' •Hardly that,' I thotight to iyself; but I hold my peace, bowed smiling,L y and attended My Lady to her carriage. Lady Thief Number Three was a Dowager three score at least, who came at regular itervals, who bought pretty freely, but al .vays stole as much as she could. This was a lifficult case and I hardly know how to deal ,vith it. She wore a hirgs pocket to contain Cie plunder, and was constantly dropping something into it. If I taxed, her with theft, I should lose her custom, and that of her con nection, which was large and,nf high class I could not pursuade her thaNilio , •plundered unconsciously ; she was too wide awake for that. I had serious thoughts: of keeping a prefesssional picket on the premises, to res cue my own property from her grip, but fear • ed the rented:) , might prove worse than the . disease. ,One resource remaindd : I had kept a petty correct account of all she had pur Coined during the six months' patronage she had bestowed upon ine, and when I made out her account at the end of the season, I set down each article at its proper date. The old lady sent her steward to settle the account to which she made no objection; but never again entered my shop. One clay my friend, Dr. Johnson, - had finished his morning levee, and was preparing to go forth on his daily round; his assistant brought bin a prescrip tion which, being old am creased, he could * not well decipher. My old friend, when he saw it, determined•fm:•-some reason or other, to compound the himself. Ito stepped into the dispensary, where •stool the young girl in a morning - dress, and requesting her to be seated, began collecting the necessary ingre• clients, As he stopped to reach the vessel, he looked accidentally into a entail mirror that lay on kshelf, and distinctly Sim the girl take from a sido•table, a gilt phial of costly per fume, and then place it in her pOcket He at once led her into the house, and charged ,her ,with the theft, and had her searched by his wife and daughters. The delinquent did nvt deny the -crime, but refused to reveal her name, and became excited and furious When, not allowed to depart. Poor Johnson,,, who' 'never &canted of the coniequenees, sent for an officer and ba&'her conveyed to prison. That act was thirruin of him. The girl was a young lady, daughter of Colonel J—, who, and whose family lead the fashions of the place. The young lady was bailed out, owing to his influence, for a trifling sum, and the bail was forfeited, under the pretence, that she was too sensative to appear in answer to such an odious charge. The town was full of military sparks, who united with the Colonel in spread ing the most infaMmis reports concerning Johns On—reports which placed, him in an abominable light, and blasted his character for over. In-less than a month, every house in the town was, shut against him. Even the poor, to )vhoin 'he: had been a 'benefactor for . twenty years, hooted' him as ho walked the streets.--' His eldeit son, whom, after making interest in his behalf for years, he bud et length placed advantageously iu the , town bank, was abruptly dlicharged ; his daugh ters were 'shamefully expelled from school where they reeeived their education ; and his whole family consigned •to general igorniny and execration. Johnson lost his practice al most at one; swoop, and as a consequence he lost his credit. He bad saved but little al most nothing; and was obliged to 101 l off his property and retire from the town. The breaking up of his household, the loss of his character, tho distress of his family—all to gether had such au effect on his spirits, and indeed upon his huhlth and faculties too, that he never was the same man afterward. He clime to Loudon, and endeavored . to open a connection in a middle-class di trice in Pad dington; but the vile reports which had tu 'ined him at him Lero, and defeated all his exertiotis. lie fell r4pidlY in to poverty; his charming daughters declined into governesses and ladies' maids; his tivo boys went off to.

Dr. Cumming' addressed a very full audience on this interesting subject on Tuesday, the 29th ult., in Bodkin street, Bel a: grave.•square, London. aa, The leoturet:began by observing he had no desire to fit predictions in. the Scripturai to say present and passing events, however stirring. Ito desired impartially to aseeriain whether anything wassaid in Scripture in relation to the MuScovile empire 'end its future, and to axpinii such references as he-might dis Cover fairly and without fear, It might be a contri hution of some light to those awful subjects on which all .parties felt deeply, and must parties forseo so little. Our duty, ho had no doubt, was to meet and repel, if able,.the, colossal power which for years had been mak• big, preparations to overshadow and enslave, Europe. Whether we or Russia should eventg'.: ally succeed might, perhaps, be inferred from: prophecy more clearly than seems probable to) those who have not studied the subject. That chapter from which he drew his views was the 38th of Ezekiel. He would first identify the names in that chapter as the names of nations destined to playa momentous; part in the last days. The names of the nations therein given that were to form themselves into a confederal cy in the last times, were Gag, Magog, Mesh• ech, Tubal, Gornar, Togannah and Tarshish. He referred to the first map aif the ltneient world, in lingster's Polyglot Bible, as a very fair pieturo of the distribution of these races. Ile showed the descendants of Gog and Magog inhabiting the east and northeast of the Euxine, on the Don, and the Dnieper, and the Caucasus. Josephus says, "The Seythians were called Magog by the Greeks." CRUCAFUS is Geg-chasan, i. e. Gag's fort. Meschech is Healed amid the Moshie Mountains, east of the Bl'iaCk .- Seaa' The river Araxes is Resit in Arabia, and the people on its banks, were first called - Rosh. Rosh we . „,. the Russian's. Tubal tvas the origin 'of 'Aioolsk ; Meshech the source of Muscovy. It is the Prince of Rosh, Meshoch and Tubal who is to head • the last confederacy. Gamer first settled in Asia Minor, spread into the Crimea, formerly Cim mern—a word originating, in Gomer, then ex- Jowled into Germany, or Gomerland. These are to be united in pre occupying Palestine, now rtportion of the Sultan's &minions, and preventing the predietedreturn,of the Jews. From the express prediction 'in Ezekiel, xxxviii. ho gathered, that this confederacy, of which the PrinCe of Itosh. Tubal and Meshech was the leader a. the Czar,) had now begun its career. Front one part of the, chapter ho gathered it would be arrested in its course for a little by a quiet, supppsod by us to bo a peace; but only to accumulate again as' a gigantic avalanche, driven by irresistible force towards Palestine. Gamer, ar Germany, would unite with Russia, and swell its hulk and add to its impetus. But he showed, after Chamber• lain, that "Tashish, and its licks, described as a commercial, warlike nation, having ships, and wealth and traffic with the East, which was to oppose and meet the Prince of Rosh with great power, was in all probability the type and eynahol of Great Britian." Th•O,' lecturer quoted from Bishops Lowth and Horsley, and showed that these great . divines concurred in this. From all these and many other grounds, he came to the couclusidn that Russia would sooner or later possess the Mediterranean, seize Palestine, and on its plains, in the language of the prophet, finally perish amid the judgments of heaven. He saw in our country's present course—were only what should be our whole available re sources pitched and pointed against Russia with all our energy—the line and duty of des tination also, and, therefore, her and our im munity, as a nation, amid the desolations soon to swoop broad Europe : While precepts alone were to regulate our conduct, it was neverthe less cheering to see it indicated and approved in the page of prophecy. He did not dog-, matise on unfulfilled prophecy, still less dare to predict. All ho sought to do was to ascer tain if Scripture had spoken on the subject, and what it had said. It is clear that states men are at, their wits' end; the nation is per pled; no solution of existing complications is given by any one. 'The student of prophecy may breathe a free air, live on,a loftier level, and bring -down from the sacred oracles lights of no transient or misguiding tendency. He did not on so difficult a subject give forth dog matical judgments, or, denounce those who differed from him. He left what be had sub mitted as a data for others to ascortain,, and arrive at or reject hie conclusion. Or' A little incident occurred in ono of the schools in Massachusetts, n few days since, which is perhaps, worth relath.g.

It occurred in St. tawrenco county; in this State and is given on the authority of a gentleman of undoubted veracity: "A young man addicted, to, intemperate habits, during one of his periodical 'sprees,' took a sudden "notion. to pay a visit to his 'sweet-heart.' On the evening alluded to, the young lady, and a female associate were the only occupants of the ~houso whore she re sided. • • "About ten o'clock in the evening the young man arrived at the house considerably worse fijOm the use of beverages.'

"The grasp was firmly maintained, and the saw vigorously plied, until the leg, was com pletely severed from his body. "With the loss of his leg, the intoxicated wretch fell upon his back, and in that condi tion lay the remainder of the , night. "In the meantime, the ladies were almost frightened to death. With the dawn of morn ing the revelation was made that one of the ladies had participated 'in the amputation of the leg of her lover! "The wretched man was still alive. His friends were immediately sent for, and ho was conveyed to his home, where; with proper treatment, ho gradually and miraculously re covered, and is now alive and well. "'We hardly credited,' nays the editor of the journal from which we quote, "the latter part of the story, and contended that the man must have bled to death on the spot, insisting indeed that it could not be otherwise. But we were mistaken "The leg was a. wooden one! " Harper's Magazine.
