The land includes some fine orchrding, and the soil is so rich that the best bullecks at Smithfield may be traced from- Paynton. The tenant is a first-rate Yeoman. Mr. Searle would never condescend to ask for or receive any abatement. It is called the Pet Farm of the property, and the estimated value is 600 guineas a-year. Lot 2. Collaton Farm and Buildings, with 217 Acres of on. commonly fine land. It is a capital Sheep Farm, with fine Wheat Land, and good Orcharding. Lot 3. Lower Yalherton Farm, and 304 Acres of rich land. A Sheep and Corn Farm. Gabriel Jackson, the tenant, is a scientific farmer, and a man of wealth. Lot 4. Whitehill, a new and very compact farm-house and buildings, with 132 Acres of good land. Mr. Elliott is the respect. able tenant. Also, in six smaller Lots, the Royal Oak Inn, the Parker Arms Besides this THE COLLATON KIRKHAM ESTATE INCLUDES THE WHOLE VILLAGE OF COLLATON. Of the situation of this estate it would be difficult to speak in adequate terms. Dartmouth and Totness are close at hand, and Exeter within a drive of two hours, and THE METROPOLIS OF LONDON WITHIN EIGHT HOURS' RIDE. THE TENANTRY ARE ALL FIRST-RATE MEN, AND THERE IS NOT A SOLITARY ARREAR UPON THE ESTATE. Tim Markets everywhere are very favourable to the Farmers. THE UNRIVALLED DART winds its rapid and circuitous course through WOODLAND SCENERY OF SURPASSING BEAUTY, and presents a constant accession of fresh delight. THE PACKET STATION, it is said, is finally fixed at Dartmouth. There is A MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS which will not be disregarded. The grazing portion of the land is unsurpassable. The produce from the meadow land EXCEEDS TWO TONS PER ACRE, while the corn lands produce from four to five quarters of wheat and barley. It has beside 10 Acres of new orchard and 16 of woods and plantations. Thus terminates a very imperfect representation of a most de. sirable investment, WHICH IS DIVIDED INTO LOTS, AND EACH FARM SOLD SEPARATELY.

Frederick Howe, '24, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing 236 printed books, th e proper ty o f h er Majesty. Mr. Adolphus was instructed for the Crown, and in answer to a question from the Court, the Learned Counsel stated that the prisoner was the son of a person ethployed in the office of the Board of Trade, and by this means he had access to the officp, and took ad vantage of this to steal the property in questicn, which coasisted of various printed returns for the use of the office, and which were, of course, of considerable value. The RECORDER sentenced the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for twelve months. A prisoner named Thomas Huntly, who pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing some pieces of cloth, the property of his master, applied to the Court to order the restitution of some letters that had been taken from him by the policeman who took him into custody. The RECORDER asked what was the nature of the papers, and whether :they had anything to do with the charge made against the prisoner ? The constable, one of the City police, said they were merely private letters. The RECORDER, with some warmth, inquired why, as this was the case, they were detained ? In the first place they had nothing to do with the charge against the prisoner, and they ought to have been produced in Court, and delivered up to him. The policeman said, the course was to send such things to the chief office, where the description of them was entered in a book, and upon the expiration of a prisoner's sentence, he could get them, by making application for them. The RECORDER—So that if a person is transported, the property is taken, and may never more be heard of. It is the duty of an officer who may take any property from a prisoner, to produce it at the trial, and any officer who does not do so, shall not have his expenses, and I will take care that a representation of the fact shall be made in the proper quarter. The papers were then produced, and handed to the prisoner. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Commis doper BULLOCK and Mr. Alder man HOOFER.) Henry Gamble and James Johnson, two exceed ingly well dressed young men, were indicted for stealing, on the 16th August, twelve handkerchiefs, value 51., the property of agentleman residing in Corn - hill, named Silver. From the evidence of one of the prosecutor's shopmen, it appeared that on the day in question the two prisoners came to the shop of Mr. Silver and requested to look at some stockings and cravats, which were shown them. From what the shopman - hoticed during the time the prisoners were in the shop, he was induced to follow them, hut they made off, and the witness missed twelve handker chiefs, value Si. The Jury acquitted the prisoners of this charge. The prisoners were again indicted for stealing, on the same day, eight cravats, value 11., the property of Henry Drew May, a hosier in Newgate-street. From the evidence of a person named Barnes, who was in the employ of the prosecutor, it appeared that the prisoners, on the day in question, came to the shop of his master under the pretence of purchasing some articles, and while Gamble was looking at the goods Johnson took that opportunity of purloining the cravats. In consequence of the suspicions of the shopman, the prisoners were followed, and on being taken into custody the property was found on Gamble. The Jury found both prisoners guilty, and the COURT sentenced them to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour in the Giltspur-street Compter, the Learned Judge stating that had the prisoners been known themould have e felt it to be his duty to have passed sentence of tr an sportation. Daniel Trindell was convicted of stealing two sove reigns, the property of John Hay. From the sd uponhe should t evi dence, it appeared that tie prosecutor and prisoner slept in the same room at Bedford ; and that, while the former was asleep, the latter committed the theft. The COURT sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. Mary Powell, a well dressed young woman, was indicted with stealing six pairs of stockings, a silk scarf, and a variety of other articles, the property of the Rev. Stewart bvelyn Foster, of Lewisham, whose cook and housekeeper she was. Mr. Doane appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantyne deferded the prisoner. From the evidence on the part of the prosecution, it appeared that a few weeki ago the attention of the prosecutor, and some of his servants, was called to wards the prisoner, in consequence of her locking her room door, and putting the key in her rocket, which was not her custom before her return from Lincoln shire, where she had been with her master and mis tress. One of the witnesses stated that on Sunday, the ith of August, she saw the prisoner go several times to the water-closet, where some articles were afterwards found to be concealed. Another witness stated that, without the knowledge of any one, she procured another key, and went into the prisoner's room to make a search, but she never made her dis covery known to the prosecutor and his wife until the Bth of August In the interval, however, it appeared that owing to some whisperings among the servants, the prisoner went on the 6th of August to her mis tress, and complained that her fellow servants had conspired against her, and demanded that her boxes should be searched, which was not done. The prosecutor and , his lady identified some of the articles produced as their property, which were found in the box of the prisoner. Mr. BALLANTYNE addressed the Jury for the prisoner at some length. The Jury, after considerable hesitation, and retiring for nearly half an hour, returned a verdict of guilty, at the same time strongly recommending her to mercy. The COURT deferred passing sentence, in order to enable the prisoner's attorney to get several witnesses from the country to give her a character. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. _MARLBORO UGH-STREET. ORGANISED SYSTEM OF INFAMOUS EXTORTION. — About ten days ago a highly-respectable gentleman named Churchill was held to bail by Mr. Maltby, on the evidence of a low-looking person, who gave the name of Wm. Fitzgerald, for an alleged act of inde cency in Hyde Park. Owing to some circumstances which transpired after the parties were b oun d over, Mr. Maltby was induced to pursue the inquiry fur ther, and having elicited sufficient to show that in some material parts the only witness, Fitzgerald, had perjured himself, the circumstances were ordered to be taken down in writing, in order to accompany the depositions. One of the old police, Ruthven, was en gaged on the part of Mr. Churchill to follow up the inquiry, and the result was that yesterday Fitzgerald and a young man named Newstead were placed at the bar before Mr. Maltby under these cir cums t ances : Mr. Clarkson, who appeared for Mr. Churchill, said the Magistrate would probably have it in recollection that Fitzgerald, one of the two parties then at the bar, had a few days back preferred in that Court a charge against Mr. Churchill, a very respectable gentleman, and another man, not present, of having been together in Hyde Park the previous night under suspicious cir cumstances. On the evidence of Fitzgerald, the Ma gistrate had thought fit to send the case for trial. Without referring to the fact of Fitzgerald's false repre sentation, in order to stamp his character with respecta bility, that he was a porter in the employ of Messrs. Sutton and Shepherd, or relying upon Fitzgerald's denial of all knowledge of Newstead, he should merely remark that Mr. Churchill, feeling restless both in mind and body, thought fit to take further steps, by which he had obtained such evidence as he hoped would satisfy the Court that the charge against him was a foul conspiracy, and that a gang of persons were in existence whose employment was to get up and manufacture charges of an odious characte: against respectable persons for the sole purpose of ex torting money. He should be enabled to prove that Fitzgerald had been tried at Horsemonger-lane for criminal offence, and had been sentenced to seven years' transportation. He had made his escape from his sentence, and he (Mr. Clarkson) now charged him with felony on that ground. Now, with respect to the assertion on the part of• Fitzgerald that he knew nothing whatever of Newstead, and had neve: seen him until the night when the a11e6,-ed occurrence took place in Hyde-park— Fitzgerald—And I say so now. I never saw him before that night. Mr. Clarkson - .would be able to prove that the par ties were well acquainted ; that . they had been to gether during the evening, and that they had lived together•in the same house in Denzell-street, before the time when Newstead entered into the society of Mr. Churchill, under the sham pretence of asking his way out of the Park. Fitzgerald—l say the man who was in Mr. Churchill's company is nothing like this :man ; he is much lustier. I've known that man about two months, but as to knowing anything of this man before the night when I saw him in Hyde-park, I had no more knowledge of him than I have of the Queen of England. Mr. Clarkson—He should call a witness to prove that on one occasion, Fitzgerald said to Mr. Churchill, " The next time you are here I'll have Newstead, the man you was with in the park." Fitzgerald—l said I'd have Macarthy, the lawyer. Mr. Clarkson would also proceed to show that Fitzgerald belonged to an organised and systematic gang, whose infamous livelihood was procured by trumping up odious charges against respectable per sons. Mr. J. Ellis Churchill was then called and exa mined—Lived at No. 44, Great Marlborough-street. Was in the house of Ellis and Everington, St. Paul's Churchyard. Was nephew of Mr. Ellis, the Member for Leicester. After leaving business was in the habit of walking in Hyde Park when the evening was fine. Took a walk about a quarter before nine on the 11th August in Hyde Park, and was returning home by the path that cuts obliquely towards Oxford street, when a young man, touching his hat politely, accosted him about 300 yards from the gate, and begged to be directed the nearest way to the City. Witness gave him the information, and the young man continued to walk by his side for about 20 yards, when the other man,, Fitzgerald, came up, and ac cusing witness of indecent conduct, said, " You beast, or brute, what are you doing with that fellow You have been acting indecently." Witness, in a moment of indignation, raised his stick to knock his accuser down. Mr. Clarkson—Had you committed or participated in any indecent act ? Mr. Churchill—Most certainly not. After Fitzgerald made the charge, he said wit ness must go to the station-house. Witness raised his stick to knock Fitzgerald down, upon which the other one laid hold of his arm, and said, "It is of no use:, you had better go quietly." Witness answered, " I see it is no use to• make resistance. I will go with you." The prisoner Fitzgerald laid hold of witness's collar, and the other man walked about 20 yards be hind. Fitzgerald looked back, and said, " That other fellow appears to keep near to us." When near Mi vart's Hotel, witness requested tO, be allowed to call upon. a friend. Fitzgerald said, " Very well, but what security can you give that yon will come back?" Witness said, " I have only my stick and a few shil lings." At that moment, seeing a policeman, witness said, " Here is a policeman, and now here is an end of this." Fitzgerald appeared desirous of avoiding the police, but seeing witness resolute, he seized wit ness, and dragged him towards the constable. While on their way to the station-house, Fitzgerald told witness he had been watching him about three-quar ters of an hour. Witness was locked up on the charge, and the next day on being brought befere the Magistrate, was held to bail. On the same evening, witness gave Fitzgerald into custody for assaulting him in the Park. When leaving the office, Fitz gerald said, in a menacing manner, " You shall have Newstead, the man you were with in the Park, be fore you to-morrow morning." Mr. Clarkson—Now, Mr. Churchill, look at that young man, Newstead, and say if you have the slightest doubt in the world that he is the person who accosted you in the Park. Mr. Churchill—l have not the slightest doubt about the matter. The pri soner, Newstead, is the man who spoke to me. Mr. C. Wallis said he knew Mr. Churchill to be a gentleman of unquestionable respectability. Was present when Fitzgerald was given into custody for an assault upon Mr. Churchill, and heard him say in a threatening manner to Mr. Churchill that he would have Newstead forward the next morning, out of re venge for having been given into custody. He added, that he had met with Newstead accidentally that af ternoon. Police constable, 9 143, Lister, said he heard Fitz gerald use the same expressions. Ellen Thorn lived at 15, Denzell-street. The pri soner Fitzgerald lived in the same house since May last, but went by the name of Stringer. He lived with a man who was committed from Bow-street that day named Fitzgerald. Had seen the prisoner New stead frequently in Stringer's company. They used to go out together. Had seen Newstead come to Stringer since last May about three times a week. Witness was certain of Ne wstead's identity. She did not know his name, but had noticed him on account of his smart dress and gentlemanly appearance. Elizabeth Fitzgerald gets her living by selling things in the street. The young man at Bow-street this day was her son. The prisoner Fitzgerald was no relation whatever. Had given the prisoner Fitz gerald a character, when he was tried for taking a purse from a gentleman's footman at Camberwell, at Horsemonger-lane. The prisoner was transported for seven years, under the name of Stringer. This was about four years ago. He came back last March, and stated that his time had been given up on account of his good behaviour. When witness saw him at the Court this morning, she asked him how he came to take her son's name. He said her son and he had always passed as brothers. He then added if witness told his real name he should be done. Mr. Clarkson asked the old woman if she would place herself under the care of an officer, to prevent her from being tampered with before trial. The wit ness consented. Policeman F 31 heard the conversation with Stringer, relative to his being "done," if his real name was disclosed. Frederick Clark lived in Broad-street, Golden square. , Knew both prisoners well. Saw them in company on the 11th of August, at six o'clock, near Charing-cross. There were other persons with them. Witness knew them all. Knew the young man—he went by all sorts of names, one of them was New stead. The other prisoner sometimes went by the name of " Bales Bill." The two prisoners were as sociates. Had been in their company frequently. Newstead—Why, he is one of us. He robbed a gentleman, named Bell, of a gold watch and ring in Hyde Park. Mr. Clarkson—How came you to know this ? Newstead—l know it right well. Mr. Clarkson--Your career, young man, is now cut short. Newstead—Then so ought this man's to be ; he is the worst of any of the lot. Mr. Clarkson begged to mention that Mr. Churchill was de?irous of exonerating Inspector Plume from all blame in objecting to send for proper assistance when the charge was first brought to the station-house. Mr. Churchill begged to thank the officers for the ready assistance which he had met with. Mr. MALTBY said he could bear testimony to the good conduct of Inspector Plume. Thomas Davis, town traveller, knew the prisoners were associates. Newstead sometimes went by the name of Smith. Mr. Clarkson said here he would stop, having, as he hoped, produced abundant evidence to induce the Magistrate, for the furtherance of justice, to secure the persons of the prisoners. Mr. MALTBY—On what charge ? Mr. Clarkson—That they, with a criminal purpose, went together into Hyde Park, one to 'plant himself on Mr. Churchill, and the other to find the parties together, in order to charge them with the attempt to commit an odious offence, and by this means to extort money from Mr. Churchill. Had they suc ceeded in obtaining any money, it would have un doubtedly been robbery ; but, as they only took Mr. Churchill into custody, it amounts to an assault with an intent to commit robbery. Mr. MALTBY-At some period or other ? Mr. Clarkson—Yes; and if you think enough has been shown to induce you to send the case to a jury, I shall ask you to remand Fitzgerald, a returned transport, the man who made the charge against Mr. Churchill, which charge has been submitted to the public, until I can have an opportunity of completing the evidence. Mr. Churchill's character would have been destroyed had it not been for the vigilance of the officers. We want to take cars that Fitzgerald has the means of making his charge against Mr. Churchill. Fitzgerald—l have no charge to make. Mr. MALTBY asked the prisoners if they wished to say anything. Fitzgerald answered in the negative, and Newstead began to criminate the witnesses. Ir. MALTBY said the association of the prisoners was clearly provel, and he should therefore remand them till f'riday next. • And here (said Mr. Maltby) I will take the opportunity of expressing the deep satisfaction I feel at the shape the case has taken, and the ample means which Mr. Churchill possesses of vindicating his character from what I now believe to be a completely unfounded charge. It was only be cause the forms of the law had been completed thAt I was debarred from releasing Mr. Churchill on the former occasion from the charge.—The prisoners were then remanded. WORSHIP-STREET. A young man, named George Henry Tucker, who stated himself to he a porter in the service of Messrs. Batley, o'l merchants in Barbican, was charged before Mr. Broughton with having wilfully destroyed a copy of the printed notice issued by Mr. Hall, the Chief Magistrate, prohibitory of unlawfu and seditious meetings. Police Constable, N 184, stated that he was on duty in the New North-road, Hoxton, on the preceding afternoon, when he saw the prisoner str.nding amongst a group ,of persons reading the notice, which was posted on the side wall of the toll-house. The pri soner walked away when he had perused it ; but after proceeding a few paces, he returned back, and delibe rately tore down the lower part of the bill, at the same time exclaiming that it was " a mischievous nuisance that ought to be pulled down. Witness immediately took him into custody, upon which se veral of the bystanders protested against his interfe rence, but the mere respectable portion of them ac companied him to the station-house, and cpnlauded him for doing his duty. In answer to the charge, the prisoner denied his having been actuated by any factious motive in pulling down the bill, and said he merely did it to supply himself with a piece of waste paper, of which h.• ~-,tpp ened to be in want. Mr. BROUGHTON said that the expressions he gave utterance to on tearing down the notice were wholly at variance with his present improbable statement, and he should require the prisoner to enter into bl,•1 own recognizance in 501. to appear at the Sessions to answer any charge that might be preferred against him.

Many of our readers have, on passing down the river, doubtless felt a desire to visit the little town of Erith, the ivy. clad church of which, situated at the foot of a beautifully wooded rise, forms such a picturesque object. That desire may now be gratified—a pier for the landing of passengers has been erected at Erith, and was opened yesterday, and henceforth we understand that the greater number of the Gravesend steamers will land and embark passengers there. As might have been expected, yes terday was a great day at Erith. From an early hour in the morning persons poured into the town from the neighbouring villages, anxious to witn ess th e ceremony o f the opening o the pier. Booths were erected in the streets, and in fact there was a complete fair held in the town. At twelve o'clock the Sylph steamer arrived from Lon don, being the first vessel which landed passengers at the pier. She had on board a party consisting of the frends of Mr. G. Warriner, of the George and 'Vulture Tavern, Cornhill, the lessee of the pier, and the proprie tor of the Pier Hotel (situated close to the pier), which has been erected within the last fortnight, and which is a wonderful instance of what energy and enterprise can accomplish against time. - A fortnight no there was not one brick standing on another on the site. of the Pier Hotel, and yesterday the building was so far completed that upwards of five hundred persons dined in the coffee- 1 room st different periods of the day. On the arrival of the 1 Sylph several of the passengers formed in procession 1 and preceded by a military band, opened the pier. A discharge of maroons from the grounds in front of the hotel, at twelve o'clock, announced the commence merit of the various sports by which the opening of the pier was celebrated. There was a series of boat rasps on the river, and on the village green a variety of rural sports. the most amusing of which was, a John Bull imitation of the Mat de Cocagne. On the Continent the prize to be snatched by the victor from the top of the greased mast is a garland. As an Englishman, how ever, prefers the useful to the ornamental, the solid pod ping (as in this instance meat) to the empty praise, in stead of a garland there was suspended a leg of mutton, a prize, doubtless, infinitely more to the taste of the for tunate individual who obtained it, than would have been all the garlands that Covent-garden Market could hare supplied. At half-past four o'clock, about 150 ladies and gentlemen sat down to a most sumptuous dinner. tastefully laid out in a marquee, pitched in the grounds at tached to the hotel. The dinner, which, with the ex ception of the soups, was a cold one,. consisted of all the delicacies of the season ; and the manner in which it was I put on the table reflected the highest credit on Mr. G, Warriner, the spirited proprietor of the hotel, who was caterer on the occasion. The wines, also, were of the I very first rate quality, and, a sine qua non in this, weather, were all as deliciously cool as ice could make them. The musical department was under the able superin tendence of Mr. Ransford, and amongst the vocalists present we observed, in addition to 117. Ransford, Mr. Li yd, Mr. Jones, Mr. Turner, and Mr. Beuler—the Beuler—the first comic singer and song-writer of the day. The cloth having been withdrawn, Non Nobs sung, and the usual loyal and national toats having been drunk with all due honours, The CHAIRMAN proposed "Success to the Pier, and the Pier Hotel, at Erith." Drunk with three times three, and one cheer more. Mr. WARRINER, in returning thanks, said that, six weeks ago, he scarcely knew the town of Erith. A short time since, however, he had visited it, had admired the 'beauties of its situation, and felt that nothing was wanting but energy to make it a popular watering-place. He had that although the pi er was built, thre was no possibility of opening with \ any chance of success, unless something more were done. He had taken the pier on lease, and had erected the Pier Hotel for the ac commodation of visitors. A fortnight ago there was no such building as the Pier Hotel in existence, and to-day 500 persons had dined in it.—(Loud cheers.) That was an example of what energy would do.—(Continued cheers.) He was determined that no exertion, on his part, should be wasting to give satisfaction to his visitors, and he did not doubt of success.—(Loud cheers.) Song by Mr. Turner—" The old Oak." The health of the Chairman and several other toasts were then drunk, and the company returned to London by the steam- boat at nine o'clock. There was a ball in the evening, in one of the marquees. Mr. Warriner seems determined to conduct his specu lation with spirit. He has announced a grand fete for the 29th, in honour of her Majesty passing by Erith, on her route to Scotland. We understand that her Majesty's visit to Scot land is intended to partake more of the character of a private and pleasurable tour than a state visit, but with that characteristic good feeling and regard for her sub jects which the Queen so invariably displays on all oc casions, we have reason to believe that her Majesty, in compliment to them, will hold a dress bonnet drawing room at Holyrood Palace during her sojourn with their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Buccleugh. This arrangement is evidently prompted by a desire on the part of the Queen not to occasion her subjects the un necessary expense of regular Court dress, at the same time affording them the gratifying opportunity of paying their personal respects to the Sovereign. Such noble men and gentlemen as are entitled to wear uniform will appear in regimentals, and a strong muster may be expected of the Queen's Body Guard and of the Deputy- Lieutenants of Counties. Friday, the 2d of September, is expected to be the day or. which her Majesty's draw ing-room will be hold.—Caledonian Mercury. We have heard that instructions of the most de cided character were sent to India by the last mail to push on the two divisions, under Nott from Candahar, and under Pollock from Jellalabad, against Ghuznee and Cabul. We have also heard that an indiscreet dis closure on the part of a staff officer, or of one in his de partment, was the source of much mischief, and cause of the general impression among the troops at Jellalabad that a retrograde movement had been ordered. A sad mistake seems to have been made in the engagements with the camel contractors of General Pollock's force, who were only bound to advance to Jellalabad. It would seem that the halt there was really caused by this most untoward agreement. " Money, however, makes camels as well as mares to go ;" and we expect to hear of the army's advance.—Naval and Military Gazette. IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE.—We rejoice exceedingly to be able to state, that, according to accounts received from all parts of the country, the impetus which trade received a few weeks ago continues to operate, not only with unabated but with steadily increasing power and efficacy, and that in most branches of manufacture there is now not only a healthy and a brisk demand, but, as the natural concomitant of such a demand, prices have an upward tendency, and promise speedily to reach once more remunerating rates. The dark cloud which had settled down upon men's minds with such seeming imperviousness of hopelessness and gloom, is lifting gra dually away, and the cheering sunshine of returning prosperity begins to break through. When this is the case it grieves us all the more to find those who have hitherto borne severe privations and pinching want so patiently until the crisis was past, and their worst suffer ings might be expected to be near a close, should have selected this very time for resorting to deeds of violence, the worst effects of which must inevitably recoil upon their own beads.—Dundee Warder, PRICE sd. A / EXTRAORDINARY ELOPEMENT. Somewhere about nine months ago; a gentleman named Charles Brook, Esq., a wealthy America 7 c merchant, retires from the toils of bosineSs,. and r turning to his native country, took up his `tesideno, among his relatives, in the beautiful rural village _1 Mirfield. The family consists of himself, his wifT and two daughters, the eldest of whom is the heroi of the present eventful story. Attached to the estab lishment was a young man named Benjamin Hall ; he is nearly twenty years of age, and was employed in the character of "boots," occasional groin, &c. Miss Brook is twenty-three years old, and it appears that for a considerable time a latent passion for young Benjamin had been growing within her bosom, which gradually increased with the growth of time, so that whenever he was engaged at his occu pation in the yard, she placed herself at one of the windows, and never left it until he had finished a n d departed from her sight. The artless and unsophisticated youth of course neither knew nor suspected the nature of the cogitations which prompted her to watch him ; on the contrary, he had often been heard to complain of her conduct. because, said he, " it seemed as if he could not do his duty without being watched." Finding that the pleasing rustic was wholly insensible to the language of her eyes, our indomitable heroine resolved to seek a private inter view, and sound his heart— And if an infant passion straw 1 , 2 there, To call that passion forth. This interview, and a series of others, it may be easily conceived were not long delayed. Benjamin most willingly reciprocated—and at length the wedding was proposed ; here, however, he hesitated, and for a time his courage failed him—he feared, perhaps, it would be taken emits—the master might be offended —and then he would - lose his place. Such fears, it is needless to say, were speedily removed or molified, and the ultimatum was that he consented to be her's for bet ter and for worse. She, therefore, furnished him with the means, and on Saturday week he went to Dews bury and purchased the marriage license. On Sun day evening, the day following, Miss Brook took an airing in the phaeton alone, her. Adonis being the driver ; here the license was duly conned over, and it was finally arranged that the marriage should take place on Tuesday, the 2el instant. Early in the morn ing of that memorable day, they accordingly arose ; Benjamin, with his fair one's assistance, prepared a horse and gig from his master's stables, into which they sprung like lightning, and drove off about four o'clock by a circuitous route to the ancient village of Birstal, unperceived by any of the family or servants. They.arrived at the Black Bull • Inn a little before seven o'clock, where they remained till eight; they then proceeded to the church, and the marriage was duly solemnised by the Rev. W. Heald, the vicar. After the ceremony was over, they again returned to the Black Bull Inn. In the mean time, the family at Mirfield arose as usual, and seated them selves at the breakfast table, but the young lady% place was empty ; a maid was therefore despatched to her lodging-room to fetch her, but instead of bring ing Miss Brook, she brought the following laconic note from her dressing-table :—" Dear Mamma— Pray don't be alarmed, I our only gone to get married !" This of course put the whole house in a ferment, and Messrs. George Mitchell, of the Yew Tree, Fearnsides, and Fairburn, and other neighbours were called in, and sent in quest of the fugitives. Birstal, being about three miles distant, was thought to be the destination of the lovers. Mr. Mitchell arrived first on horseback, and pro ceeding to the Black Bull Inn, found them in the travellers' room. The bridegroom bid him " good morning," and observed, " had you been here half am hour ago, you would just have been in time for the wedding !" " What," said he in a rage, "is it over ?" and darting out of the room went to the vicar to ascertain the fact. Mr. Heald assured him that it was true, remarking, "I have only just returned from the church;' and "cannot you then," replied Mr. M., " undO what you have done ?" " _No, sir," observed Mr. Heald smiling, "if I could do so I should have plenty of work !" Air. M. then returned to the inn, where he found the other gentlemen, who had arrived in a phaeton. An at tempt was then made to part those whom " God had joined together," by giving the bridegroom into cus tody on the charge of stealing the horse and gig ! This was to() much for the young lady's equanimity. She then stood forth, and said in a tone of great anger, " No, gentlemen; Benjamin is now my husband, he was then my father's servant, and in taking the horse and gig h© only obeyed my commands 1" Then turning to her husband,- and presenting him with her gold watch and purse, said Here, take those, they might as well charge you with stealing them." The charge then of course fell to the ground, and all parties for several hours, sat in sullen and rigid si lence, save the sighs and sobbings of the afflicted lady. At length, Benjamin„whom we shall call Mr. Hall, rose and said to his wife, and his brother (a minor,who had been engaged to give the lady in marriage), " come, let us now go home Upon which 'Mr . Fearnsides exclaimed in a frantic manner, " If you attempt to move I will shoot you !"—and " if you at tempt to do that" said Mr. Hall's brother, " I will knock you down," accommodating his fist to the expression ; and again all became seated and silent. While things remained in this state the young lady's father (who had only just returned from Liverpool) arrived at the inn. Upon his entering the room Mrs. Hall immediately arose, and curt seying, seized him by the hand ; and after com plaining bitterly of the conduct of the indivi duals present, stated her warm attachment to her Benjamin. After Mrs. Hall hail done speaking, all again became silent for a considerable time. At length some refreshments were ordered, and a more conciliatory policy adopted. It was ultimately and mutually agreed that they should all return to Mir field, and see if they could not accommodate matters. Accordingly, at night, the horses, phaeton, and gig were brought out, and the party started off for Mir field, Mr. Hall being between two of the gentlemen in the phaeton, and Mrs. Hall being between other wo in the gig. They arrived at Mirfield at ten o'clock, and the phaeton turned up the road leading to Mr. Brook's residence ; at this moment Mr. Hall turned his head, and perceived that the gig con taining his lady, was proceeding at a rapid ra t e on the road 'towards Huddersfield, upon which he sprung from between his companions, and crossed the field to overtage the gig, and as he approached, he called out " whom, whom," and the horse, knowing the voice of its former indulgent keeper, immediately stood still, and obstinately refused to budge. The young lady's keepers hearing Mr. Hall approach, took her from the gig into an ad joining house (Mr. Shaw's), her indignant husband following and fighting his way through the door and passage of the house. They, however, managed to cause him to be obstructed and detained while they got her through the window, screaming piteously, and ' placed her again in the gig and drove off. In half an hour Mr. Hall was turned out of the house, and knowing that his wife had recently been on a visit to Mr. Kilner's, at the Carr House, Hudders field, he concluded they had conveyed her thither. He therefore proceeded on f oo t, an d arrived at the Carr House a little after midnight. He repeatedly paced the front of the house, and was perceived. Soon after two o'clock (on Wednesday morning) a gig, containing two men and a female drove from the yard, and Mr. Hall ran and seized the horse by the reins ; two of the Huddersfield watchmen were called and feed to take him off, and hold him while the gig got away. They did so, but two other individuals coming up and being informed of the cause of his be ing detained, they attacked the watchmen, a scuffle ensued, and ultimately Mr. Hall was released, when he immediately set off in the direction the gig had taken. He, however, never overtook them, nor was he able to trace them through any of the toll gates, and it has since been ascertained that the female in tilt 'gig was not his wife, but only one of Mr. Kilner's servants, who was placed there in order to decoy him from the promises. It was also discovered that a chaise conveyed Mrs. Hall from Huddersfield to Manchester, at midnight, on Thursday week, when it was observed ithat the individuals who had charge of her had hard work to pacify her ! This circumstance reached the ears of Mr. Hall, and he started at ten o'clock on Friday night from Mirfield by omnibus to Huddersfield, and from thence in company with two friends by gig to Manchester. They then proceeded by the first train on Saturday morning to Liverpool ; owing, however, to his inexperience and mis management, he returned home on Wednesday night last, without having accomplished the object of his mission. An eminent solicitor however has now taken his case in hand, and if the young lady is not produced in a few days, it is more than probable that legal proceedings will be commenced against the parties implicated in her abduction. We understand that the young lady possesses from 15,0001. to 20,0001., bequeathed to her by a deceased uncle in America, and independently of her father. It is supposed by those most competent to form an opinion, that she 13 either in the Isle of Man, or has been shipp e d off to America. Her relations, however, refuse to give any information upon the subject, consequently it remains an absolute mystery.—Leeds Times. CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.—The Ettrick Shepherd, 4 in the notes to his " Queen's Wake," (notes Hollingshed, who says, when describing Queen Afary's first !Roiling in Scotland — " She arrived at Leith on the 20th of August, in the year of our Lord 1581, where she was honourably received by the Earl of Argyle, the Lord Erskine, the Prior of St. Andrew's, and the Burgesses of Edinburgh, and conveyed to the Abbie of Holierood House," &c. Now, add eleven days for the difference of style, and we have the very day (the 31st) her present Majesty intends landing in Scotland for the first time.-- Scotsman.
