THE LATE ELOPRIIINT.---The following further particulais have tranfpired refpeaing the elopement, mentioned in our paper of yefterday : It was on Monday morning, about two o'clock, that the lady left her father's bottle in a poll chaife and four, in company with two of the male friends of her lover, he following the chaife at Tome diftance, to avoid any unpleafant circumftances which might have arifen had they been overtaken, from his being found in the lady's company. It was from Lord P.'s feat in Norfolk, that the fu gitives took their departure. They were, as we have already ftated, traced to Whitechapel by Lord and Lady P—. On their arrival in town, they applied to Sir RICHARD FORD, and other Magiftrates in the Middlefex diftrid for affiflance ; but aotwithftanding every poltble means were retorted to, the parties re mained undifcovered. A letter is Paid to have been fent by the young cchtple yeflerday, entreating for gi venets, and adding that they were married by banns poblifhed Come time fince. They have not yet, how ever, ditcovered their place of refidence. The hero in this bufinets is about thirty, and the lady is eighteen years of age. The attachment has been a growing one for tome time, arid is Paid to have been dilcovered a limit time lince by Lady P. who acquainted her hatband with it, and his Lordfhip in confequence, gave the gentleman intimation that it was his intention to procure him a more eligible fitu ation. The tutor, apprehenfive that the lent had been difcovered, baftened to fecure her flight without delay.

He kicked off one of his fhoes among the populace, bat failed in trying to throw off the other. He forced a laugh, and died as he had lived, in a Rate of hardened de. pravity ; having attempted, the preceding day, the life of Mr. ALLPOLT, one of the keepers of - Newgate.

The Learned Counfel occupied the at- - tention of the Court between three and four hours, fur the purpofe of inferring that the condua of the Sheriff had been impartial, confonant to the advice of learned and experienced profeffional men, and in every re fpea legal. NiwetAN KNOWLY3, Efq. the Common Serjeant of the City of London, and Affefror to the Sheriff, was the only witnefs examined this day. He Rated, that the Sheriff had afted in conformity with his advice, in agreeing that the Freeholders who ten dered their totes on the 15th day fhould have theni inveftigated before the dote of the poll ; but that, upon confidering the Mk& the next morning he in formed the Sheriff he fea re d h e b a d given him in cerrea advice, and that the fafer way would be net to aa upon it. That he accordingly advifed the She riff to declare the numbers trrecifely as they flood at three o'clock on the fifteenth day, conceiving that he was not juftified in continuing the poll beyond that period. He detailed the circurnftances of Mr. Pi. gore's coming down to Brentford the morning after the fifteenth day, and arguing ageing the p ro p r i e ty of the Sheriff adding a tingle vote.that !tad not been accepted in due time on the preceding day. He alto . teemed to imply, that Mr. Plumer; the Connfel for Sir Francis Burdett, had diffinaly admitted, that, if the Sheriff had committed an error in entering into , an improper engagement to receive votes, which could not legally be put on the poll afterthe fifteenth day, it was nut too late to repair it. He likewise proved the proteft of Mr. Mainwaring's friends and Counfel againit the arrangement first acceded to by the Sheriff. Such was the general (cope of his evi deuce, which occupied the Committee about three 1 hours. Having given a fimilar brief account of the proceedings of this Committee on each day of its fit- dogs, we regret to learn that the fubjeft has not been well underftoed, in . confequence of the public not knowing what is the defined objett of its inquiry. To obviate this difficulty, we lay before our readers the Petition upon which the proceedings are found ed. There are two petitions, but the preterit one is on the part of the Freeholders who were denied the right of voting, by the alteration of the arrangement made by the Sheriff. It Will be teen that it does not go to a void eleaion, but merely involves the • quellion of the feat, and whether Sir Francis Burdett ought not to have been returned, inftead of Mr. Mainwaring If the decifion fhould be in favour of ' Mr. Mainwaring, the fubfequent petirion, referring to his qualification, will be enquired into. ,Ifitis in ' favour of Sir Francis Burdett, it will then be open to Mr. Mainwaring to prefent a Counter Petition, if he thinks fit. • ------ --- The Petition upon which the Committee are now fitting Pets forth— . That the Petitioners are Freeholders of the County of Middle.

Burdett, whole names, places of abode, and freeholds, and in whore ono. pations their freeholds were, were duly entered on the poll, but ' the Sheriff refuted to permit the feratches or marks to be fct op. polite their names, denoting the Candidates for whom they voted, until their titles to vote had been examined into, although they of. fered to fubitantiate their titles by their oaths, nor would the She- • riff allow fuch examination to take place at the booth, but inlifted I l an their attending in a box placed in a different part of the but tinge to undergo fuch examination ; and although fuel perfons in compliance with fuch regaffition, did accordingly ate nd at thofaid box, yet the conflderation of many votes, fo dreumfianced, was adjourned for want of time till the days refpedively fucceeding, and thereby great delay and confuSoo swore: and In order to pre vent the fame in luture, application was at fundry times, by the Agents, Friends and Counted of Sir Francis Burdett, made to the Sheriff of the fetid County to keep the poll open longer than (even hours, as by law he was bound to do, when upon good and (WE. tient mute reguefted fo to do ; that the raid Sheriff, at the feveral dmesaforefaid, refuted to accede to Rich application ; that on the lads and teth days of the Paid poll, the Paid Sheriff, together with N. Kssowlys, Efq. who then and there fat as affeffor or affiltain to the raid Sheriff, leverally and at fundry times declared, that if at three o'clock on the Paid 15th day th'e votes of any perfons that had boat before that time objeded to mould not have been examined, the (aid Sheriff would proceed upon fuch examination, and deter mine on the fame after three o'clock on the tams or the following day ; and the Petitioners further Rate, that at three o'clock on the tsth day of the Poll feveral voters were in attendance at the She riff's box, in obedience to orders given by the Sheriff, waiting to be examined in refpedt to the titles to their votes, which had been previoully entered on the poll, and their votes declared, tome for the laid G. B. hilainwariug, but many more for the (aid Sir F. Bur. den ; and the Petitioners humbly fubmit, that If the poll had been aft up at fuch hour, without any further examination of fetch eaten, the names of fuch voters ought to have been reckoned, and thereby a majority of voters received on the poll declared, as in fad it was, in favour of Sir Franci, Burdett ; bat the Petitioner fur ther Rate, that the poll was not call up, nor the numbers declared, fill the following day; and in the mean time, the Sheriff, in com pliance with his aforc(ald promife, proceeded to fatisty hinder re fpedting the Mice of the voters, fu previouily entered on the poll, and, after inch examination, direeled marks to be (et oppofite to their names, tome in favour of the raid Sir Francis Burdett, anti Tome for the Paid George Boulton Mainwaring, according to the votes prerioufly given for rye or uCer of the (aid candidates; that a majority of the votes received on the pull did thereby alto appear in favour of Sir Francis Burdett, and the laid Sir Francis Burdett ought to have been returned to ferve in this prefect. Parliament for the County afurcfaid ; and that the fa:ti Sheriff, well knowing the premifes, did, on the fifteenth day of the raid Eledion, Illegally, wrongfully, wilfully, and falfely, declare the majority of numbers to be in favour of the raid G. B. Mainwaring ; and illegally, wrong. fully, wilfully, and falfely, returned the raid Geo.
