ABDUCTION.

An accident of an unusual, not to say romantic and
extraordinary character, has given within the last day
or two a public notoriety to the name of a small town-
ship in the neighbourhood of Bristol, which, after some
recent electioneering proceedings there, was, to say the
least of it, quite unnecessary. The rector of the parish
has sundry fair daughters, and not many weeks since one
of them (the youngest) was united in the bonds of wed-
lock to the man of her choice, a gay and dashing son of
Mars, an officer of the Indian army. Without the
smallest intention of imputing sordid and mercenary
motives, we may mention that in the neighbourhood it is
said to be an acknowledged tact that with the young lady
herself " money' was the primary consideration. This,
however, by the 'way. A week or so since—so says the
public rumour—the newly-married couple were staying
for a while with the father of the bride,
