Fraud on females.

--A day or two since a New York sharper lauded in Philadelphia, and hired a room. He then advertised in the Ledger for young ladies to learn a business which would pay from $7 to $10 per week.--Quite a number of females answered the advertisement, and were told that they must pay $10 each. This, all except ten or twelve of them declined. The latter paid over the funds and were told to call the next day. They did so, and found the sharper had vanished during the night.
