THE MOORS.

The accounts received from the Highlands state that the
number of sportsmen is less than usual this season, and much
less than last. The birds at the commencement were plenti-
ful, and good sport was experienced. In the skooting guar.
tern there are several changes, particularly in Inverness-shire.
Novar House, last year in the occupation of the Marquis of
Hastings, is this year engaged by Lord W. Bentinck. The
lion. Captain Fitzroy. Mr. Stanley, and Colonel Standen, are
at Aberarder. Lords Alford and Loftus arc at Flowerdale.
The Hon. C. Berkeley and party are at Glensheiro, Bade-
ouch. The lion. D. Murray is at Farr, and the Earl of Sel-
kirk is at Castle Leod. The mildness of the weather, not-
withstanding the great facility of the steam-beats, has pre.
vented much grouse arriving in the metropolis fit to send to
table.

ELOPEMENT.-The daughter of an alderman of a
neighbouring city having been recently released from the
bonds of matrimony by being placed in second widowhood,
pleased with the blandishments and ardour of a near ad-
mirer, determined to do "the thing romantic" by a half-
and-half sort of Gretna wedding with a young gallant who
aspired to the honour of her hand. The father of the
would-he bride, not approving of a third son-in-law, pur-
sued the fugitives to Hull, and, having procured the
assistance of some friends, captured the lady and locked
her up for the night. In the morning her ardent lover
endeavoured to procure her release by raising a ladder to
the bed-room window in which she was confined. He was
again thwarted. The lady, by permission of her papa, then
had an interview with her Lothario (most likely to make
better arrangements for a future matrimonial trip, which,
experience rendering perfect, will be the more likely to be
successful); after which the amorous lady and her papa re
turned home, leaving the adventurous knight one of the
many who had experienced the truth of the adage, " There
is many a slip between the cup and the lip." Upon his de-
parture he must have been much disappointed, as he de-
clared " There was nothing worth living for in this world
but his dear —!"—Hull
Mr. C. Kean arrived at the Old Ship yesterday,
and will shortly commence at our theatre an engagement of
six nights. We understand that Mr. Kean Will appear in
London next season, and is to receive 2,000/., together with

ance will be on the Bth of January.—B iyhton Gazette.
It is rumoured that Lord Lyndhurst has accepted
an invitation from the Earl of Aberdeen to be present at
his seat, Haddo House, Aberdeenshire, to celebrate the
coming of age of his Lordship's eldest son, Lord Haddo ;
and that the Duke of Wellington, and Sir Robert Peel,
will be present on the occasion, when the Noble and
Learned Lord will be sworn in as Lord Rector of the Ma-
reschal College of Aberdeen, to which he was elected some
time since.

Persons were conveyed to and from the late Egham
races in the Surrey " go-carts" at 3s. a head. This, taking
the journe.y there and back at 35 miles, beats the cheap-
ness of an omnibus out and out.
Mr. Hicks, who landed from the Balavier on Wed-
nesday, brought despatches from Sir George Slice, at
to Lord Palmerston, which he deli% ered at the Fo-
rev OfUeeimmediately.
