AN ELOPEMENT AND BIGAMY
PREVENTED.

At Luton, in Bedfordshire, there till lately resided a
tradesman with a wife and four children, who carried
on the business of a straw hat and bonnet manu-
facturer. There also lived in the same town, in
service, a young woman, who is a native of Rugby.
The premises f the gentleman, which, with the stock,
were insured, a short time back took fire, and consider-
able damage was done, for which he was recompensed
by the iinsurance company. The remainder of the
effects he *obi. placed his wife and family in furnished
lodgings, and decamped with the Rugby woman, with
whom he bad b,en on intimate terms. The runaways
arrived at Rugby ..n Satunlav night, and the gentle-
man's luggage, which was labelled "Liverpool,' was
left in the cloak-room at the station. They stayed with
the lady's parents, and a special license having been
procured, they were to have been married on Thursday,
and then set out for America after the ceremony IVY
concluded. Every preparation was made, bridesmaids
secured, and an extraordinary quantity of eatables and
liquids provided. Early on Thursday morning, when
the young lady was sitting quietly on the man P, knee,
the d.s.r was opened, and, to the consternation of all,
his wife walked in. The unfaithful husband at once
decamped the back way, when explanations followed.
The mother of the lady made her return to the wife
what goods she had that belonged to the runaway.
These included a cash-ls.s, which the husband had
given to the young lady to take care of, saying that
therein wax all his wealth i:17.0. On the box being
opened there wax inside only an oil counterpane and a
county court summons. The young lady had also the
wife's wedding ring and keeper. The husband has
not as yet been found, hut Lis luggage remains at the
station.

IRISH
_LOVE.

Breech of Promlee—Ca—sei have much sameness about
them and it is very difficult to find one in which the
features are not of the usual stupid or lachyrymose kind.
There are generally a number of love-letters gushingly
fond, an incident or two of "courting," and • narrative
more (irises cliff naive of how the match was made and how
one party broke the contract The commonplace character
of the majority of the suits is occasionally varied, but it is
very seldom that so extraardinarya story is related for the
benefit of the jury ss that which was made public at the
Cork assizes on Saturday. The plaintiff was Mary Fox,
a farmer's daughter of county Limerick. and the faithless
lover warn James Roth., s well-to-do dairy farmer. The
story is one that would have delighted Lever, and contains
in itself the element. of • romance of the true Irish type.
Roche at first paid his addresses to Miss Condon, a neigh-
bour's daughter, and then, with native inconstancy, he
turned Ids attention to Kiss Fox, whose heart, he seems
to have taken by storm. He proposed marriage to her,
and was immediately accepted. The wedding-day was
fixed, but here arose • difficulty which no one had fore-
seen. The parish priest, exercising the patriarchal
function so common in the South and West of Ireland,
refused to celebrate the marriage on account of Roche's
conduct to Mira Condon. Frustrated in their own village,
the Impulsive pair of lovers eloped, and in due time
reached Cork, but even in that town they found they
could not be united. Disconsolate, and perhaps a little
dismayed at their own temerity, they returned to Fernioy,
where Roche signed a deed, in which "in consideration of
marriage he made over his farm, his house, and stock to
Mary Fox, his intended wife." itie love was apparently
of the warmest description, for be besought the Arch-
bishop of Cashel to compel the parish priest to celebrate
the nuptials, but that prelate declined to interfere. Miss
Fox took up her abode in her lover's house, but their
apartments were separate. For many months they lived
in this strange state of relationship, until Roche one day
disappeared and quietly married Miss Condon his first
love. The happy pair, on returning home trom their
honeymoon, found the farmhouse occupied by Miss Fox
and her friends, armed to the teeth. With customary
vehemence the Roche faction also armed themselves and
took poesession of the apartments the farmer had formerly
reserved for his special use. Thus day and night watch was
, kept on both sides, but, unlike the denouement of a novel.
, no sanguinary collision occurred. Appeal was eventually
made to the Court of Andrea, and this romantic story had
' the prosaic termination on Saturday of a verdict of £6O
lamages for Miss Fox. It would be rash in the face of
; such • series of incidents to assert that truth is not still
; much stranger that fiction.

" MURDER."

Late on Saturday -1-11i,--a---;hocking murder was
committed at Warrington. It appears that two
brothers, named John awl Patrick Dagnau, labourers,
were drinking together in a public.houre, when, in con-
sequence of his violent conduct, Patrick was ejected,
calling his sister-in.law, who was with her husband, a
foul name. .Tohn replied by knocking down his
brother Patrick. The latter immediately drew a knife
and stabbediJohnfinthe right groin, inflicting a terrible
gash, which severed the main blood-vessels of the
thigh. Frightened at the result of his violence, Patrick
threw the knife away awl attempted to escape, but was
subsequently °lmre ended. The wounded man was
removed to the infirmary and his deposition taken.
He lingered until 2 o'clock Sunday aftenns,u, when he
breathed his last. Both men were under the influence
of drink at the time. The deceased is about 2.5 years
of age, and his assailant is some years his senior.

THE ROYAL TITLE'S BILL
The aor writes : —" We wonl.l fain hope that
Her Majesty, in the week which still remain* before
the proclamation is issued which exhausts the Act, will
ponder well what is the nature of the precedent Her
Majesty is setting. Does she wish even one of her
titles to be elective? Her title has been confirmed, or
let us say, in strict history, evetemstle by Parliament,
but the Parlbunentary origin of her throne has been
forgotten, and the respect paid to it springs from no
statute awl co" intorpretatinn Igor
look back to no time when her title began ; they call
her only by a name which, as they think, Scripture has
authorised ; and they not only do not believe, but they
would not understand, the assertion that there are
theories of legitimacy under which Victoria would not
be, "by the grace of God.' but only by the will of
Parliament, Queen. So well have history, and opinion,
and etiquette worked together for her dignity, that it
in at this lonuent almost impossible to explain to
foreigners in any short form of wonls that her throne
stands above election, and yet is not haae.l, and does
not claim to be based, upon the principle of Divine
right. Is it for her good, as head of a dynasty, as the
mother of a line .1 Kings which might last as long as
the line she represents, to accept at the hands of an
accidental majority a dignity which has no root in the
past, which visibly springs at best from the right of
the sword, which is palpably granted to her, and haa
not been inherited by her? Vhat Parliament haa
made, Parliament can unmake. Is she willing to accept
a dignity which, if Parli.unent ever re called it, her
descendants must admit to be fairly within the right
of Parliament to cancel r

A GREAT SEER SENT TO PRISON.

_
At the Daventry Police-court, on Saturday, John
Major, an illiterate tailor, was sent to prison for • month
as a rogue and vagabond. The man was an advertising
fortuneteller, and la said to have made between 2,100 and
1,500 a year. His usual form of adverUsernent was u
tollows :—" The great seer will reveal your future, seven
yearn six stamps; couiPlete, 30 stamp.; love talisman,
16 stamp.: state age. sex, Au." The answers to applica-
tions were lithographed letters, of which a number were
found in the prisoner's possession. The "love talisman,"
to be worn out of right, and efficacious in procurinjg "the
love of lord and lady, and other great advantages, was a
bit of parchment, bearing • circle and some rough marks.
In the prisoner's house were several large boxes full of
letters from 'client."- probably 70,000 letters alether.
These were chiefly from persons of the middle and upper
classes.

MONDAT.

In the Lords the Earl of Suarrgegegr presented 13
petitions, numerously signed, against vivisection ; &Leo
several others from the county of Dorset, against Mr.
Osborne Morgans Burials Bill.
The Commons went into committee on Ulll Royal Titles
Bill.

Disiugu, with a view of removing misconception,
made a supplementary statement as to the advice which
the Government would tender to the Queen. It WU
never intended that this title of Empress, which, for local
purposes and for considerations of high policy, Her
Majesty was shout to adopt, should be substituted for her
superior and supreme title of Queen of the United King-
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, and in no circumstances
would Her Majesty's Ministers advise her to IMULIIO the
title of Empress in England. He contradicted also the
rumour that the Queen, on assuming the title of Empress
of India, would be advised to confer on her children and
agnates an imperial designation, so that they would be
called Royal and Imperial Highnesses. There never was
the slightest foundation for such • report, aad the step
would be one which Her Majesty's Ministers would
entirely_ disapprove.
The Marquis of HaIITINOTON regretted that the explana-
tion had not been made before; but, though it well satis-
factory so far WI it went, it did not remove all the objec-
tions to the Bill. What wu still apprehended was that
the imperial title would gradually come into use here con-
jointly with the ancient title of the Queen, and that it
would be conferred on the members of the Royal
Family.
The Chairman was ordered to report the Bill without
amendments to the House, and the third reading was
fixed for Thursday.

CELLOR of the Exceisivra said there was nothing in the

the Bank's legal adviser, this would have prevented the

THE DORCHEiTER INIPROVEHENTS.
To the litlitor.

Sir,—l see that the Duchy of Cornwall are raising
a hedge along the line of pathway from the corner of
the West Walk to the road leading to the Great
Western Railway Station. This hedge, instead of being
straight, or following a slight curve throughout, runs
in a straight line almost to the read mentioned, and
then makes an inconvenient angle, which shoulders
the passer by out of his more direct course, and gives
an impression of meanness to what should have
appeared a generous concession.
I believe that some feet of ground, which belong to
the Duchy by strict legal right, have been given up ;
and I cannot but regret that the grace of this conces-
sion is lessened by the injudicious manner in which the I
boundary is laid down. A few more feet (and they would
be very few) would not impair the revenue of the
Duchy. Even the appearance of liberality site grace-
fully upon a public body; and it would not be thrown
away as an example.
Valle noticing this matter, I may express the hope
that the plan for building on Beggar's Knap has been
given up, never to be renewed. It is • public gain to
have such a piece of ground, permanently open, so near
the town; and it is well to consider, with our fairs and
markets increasing, that the space in question in
another generation will in all probability not be too
muoh for the public requirements.
Yours &es.,

ENGLISH SAVAGES.

ADVENTURE WITH A LIONESS.

An exciting incident, occurred late on Friday evening
at the exhibition of Felmonde (late Wombwell's)
menagerie at Gslashiels. A great crowd of people were
pressing in front of the cage of the noble-looking male
lion Wallace, when • boy named John Gray, thirteen
years of age, was pushed dangerously close to the adjoin-
ing den where • large female loin was caged. The
horisontal her was loose or open, and the lioness pushed
out her paw, unexpectedly and as quick as lightning,
fixed her claws in the shoulder of the boy's jacket. He
'creamed with fright, and those nearest seised him and
tried to draw him out of danger. The savage animal lost
her first hold, but struck out again, this time fixing her
claws deep in the flesh above the elbow, tearing the arm
open to the bone for an inch and a-half. Lower down the
arm, above the wrist, another wound was inflicted with
the other paw, only one claw, however, cutting into the
suubele. The lad was pulled by sheer force out of the
claws of the infuriated brute, and just in time, as, if the
arru had been drawn inside the cage, the lioness seemed
disposed to snake short work of it with her teeth. Great
excitement prevailed for a time, and people kept at safe
distance from the animal afterwards. The boy was taken
home and attended by • surgeon, and was able on Satur-
day to be out with his arm in • sling.

WAREHAM AND SIR CHARLES WM.
DILKE.

Great satisfaction ts expressed by the good people of
Wareham and neighbourhood, and also in the Isle of
Purbeck, at the appearance in our colums last week of
a truthful and pertinent version given by a correspon-
dent well acquainted with real facts, on the subject of
the absurd story tobl, on misinformation from some
quarter or other, in the House of Commons, when in
his speech, Sir Charles Mike, talking of unreformed
corporations, presumed to refer to Wareham, which
there is no doubt he will in future steer very clear of.
We understand, on authority, that the statement
which appeared in our coining last week has, to some
poepore, found its way not only into the colums of
most of the respectable journals in Dorset, Somerset,
Devon, Hants. Wilts, and other counties, but into
many 01 the chivt ci.,•.,Aamcn• ”flit-cro, dtabs, nut] Imel
authorities in London, and other places throughout
the kingdom, the result of which time will show. Sir
Charles Mike is • very worthy, honourable, conscien•
tint's, and, in his way, really useful man, but too full
of crotchety points to be much relied on, and too apt
also to take for max, trial, all he hears. He will
never carry anything, though he may now and then
help towards some good end if taken up by more
reliable people.
