The monument at Birmingham to the memory of Colonel Unett,
who fell leading his regiment to the attack on the Redan, has been
placed in St. Phillip's Churchyard. It consists of an elegant and
symmetrical Egyptian obelisk, of polished Peterhead granite, raised
upon a solid pedestal of the same material, the whole being supported
at the base by three massive steps. The height of the monument is
very nearly twenty feet, of which the obelisk alone measures twelve,
the latter being hewn out of one huge block of granite, upwards of
three tons in weight, a somewhat striking circumstance.
ELOPEMENT EXTRIORDINANT.—On Wednesday even nr, the 3rd
inst., a man and a woman arrived by rail at the Bridlington station,
and made their way by Omnibus to an inn in the market place, where
they took up their above for the night as husband and wife, stating,
among other things, they hal been married two months, and had come
to Bridlington to obtain work, the man as a labourer, and the woman
in any way in which she could be useful, especially in the stitching
line. They had a large quantity of luggage, comprising female attire
and abundance of prov'sions, consisting of pies of various kinds and
s!zes, cheese-cakes, tarts, ham, bread, a bottle of wine, &e. They
ate, drank, pad were very merry, and the good people of the inn
t,ken with their new guests, Who intimated their

intention of remaining in that hospitable domicile for some time to
come. At length to beft they %mit but now tney steps uer;;;12;
knoweth not. In the morning they re-appeared, and in due time a
sumptuous breakfast was prepared, to which the happy couple sat
down ; but, as, it is said, the course of true love seldom runs smooth,
so in this instance; for scarcely had th 3 revelry begun, when, lo in
popped the woman's husband, accompanied by a policeman. Now,
under such circumstances it is natural enough to expect that
all the crockery on the table and tte heads of the wife and
her paramour would be smashed to atoms, or at least seriously
injured ; but no, the tender-heated, fondly-loving husband
merely said, with the utmost sang-froid. "My dear, Ize come
to tak thee hooam ; will thou gang?" To which his cars sposa as cooly
replied, " No, never." Yet all was peace and quietness ; the loving
couple continued doing ample justice to their luxuriant repast, while
the husband sat looking on and smoking his pipe. After breakfast
some conversation followed, in which the unhappy husband used all
the eloquence of which he was capable to induce his faithless spouse
to return to his home, at Sutton, near Hull; promising, if she would
return, he would freely forgive her and never again mention her
misconduct. She, however, seemed resolved to abide by her choice,
and all entreaties, promises, and arguments appeared but a waste of
words. At length threats were resorted to, and, seeing the strong
arm of the law before her, madame most reluctantly consented to go
back, but declared most positively and determinately that she would
never live with him again ; and, before peeking up for departure, she
told her paramour to meet her in Hull, and, on parting, they em-
braced each other most lovingly in the presence of the husband 1
Many other sayings and doings connected with this serio-comic affair
might have been given, some of which were very amusing and some
of a contrary character. The husband and wife appeared to be about
40 years of age each, and they 1134)7's love about 26.—Yorkshiretnan.
