minal 'prosecution, was, by some mistake styled, in
some of the Newspapers, Om Roberts, both having
praaiseci tri Banisters. This is inserted that such
unfortunate concurrence may not produce a mo-
mentary injustice to the latter Gentleman, who
practised in Manchester.

EXTREME HEAT.—On Thursday, July la, we
understand the Thermometer, at Hayes, in Middle-
sex, was 92. i. In Kent, at 0. In various parts of
London, near toe ; and exposed to the Sun at its
greatest heat,' at 147 deg. The scientific Registers
have been examined for the last 30 years, and have
not been found to equal this h-eat by ten degrees.
The following'accoutit of a late elopement is given
in a Morning Paper :—The last fashionable elope-
ment from the, vicinity of Banco Regis, was attend-
ed by circumstances peculiarly distressing. Lady
E. B. the daughter of a certain Countess, was mar-
ried about two years since to Mr. B. a Gentleman.
then possessing very considerable landed propertyin.
the West Indies. As this was a tie of inclinatien,
and not of necessity, it was generally expeCled
among , the friends of the parties, that the union
would prove a happy one, particularly as the hus-
band was not addicted to any of those little indis-
cretions now so prevalent among our, young men in
high life ! The Lady had nothing but her youth
and beauty to recommend, her, and , they were
deemed sufficiently recommendatory ; and as she
was suppoSed to have but little inclination to launch ,
into fashionable follies, they were inducements suf-
ficient
,to decide Mr. B. in his choice of a-wife.—
Since marriage the parties lived in a state of connu-
bial felicity, until a passion for play on the one side,
and a careless indifference on the other, producing
a disunion of sentiments, had enabled Mr. I-I—y, a
Gentleman, (an intimate friend of the Lady's mo-
ther),
to destroy the peace of both for ever. A few
days since the Lady acquainted her husband that she
wished to go to the west-end of the town to make
a few purchases; he assented. Lady E: B. stepped
into a hackney-coach, and ordered the man to pro-
ceed to Bond-street. In the Haymarket, how-
ever, she pulled the check-string, got out, , and
discharged the vehicle. Here the Lady met Mr. H.
and proceeded in another coach to the Key, in Chan-
dos-street. All these proceedings were ds.te6ted by
the confidential servant of the husband ; the latter,
suspecting that something was wrong, took the pre-
cautionary , measures alluded to.' The man, thus
presuming on the supposed discovery of his mis-
tress's infidelity, ran with all possible speed to an
eminent Solicitor, residing in Golden-Square. Find-
ing him at home, they returned to the Key, at the
door of which Hotel they waited until the Lady
came out, when the man went up to his mistress,
and placed his hand on her shoulder, exclaiming,
Oh ! Lady E—Y, I am sorry to see you come
out of such a house as this." The Lady faioted from
the surprise and fright.. Mr. H. took her in his
arms and carried her into the coach which was
in waiting, and ordered the driver to proceed, which
he did, unmolested by the opposite,party. Since
that period, neither the seduced nor the seducer have
been heard of. There are some circumstances at-
tached to this case of such peculiar delicacy, that
we cannot, consistently with decency, communicate
them to our readers.
Early yesterday morning some thieves got into the
dwelling-bode of Mr. Vaughan, boot and shoe-
maker, Clement's Inn, from whence they stole a
quantity of. shoes and boots, as also some wearing
apparel, with which they unfortunately got cleat
off.
