ANOTHER ENLARGEMENT OF THE WEEKLY DIS-
PATCII.—This Journal, at present the largest in exist-
enc, —unrivalled for its early intelligence and uncom-
pre mising advocacy of the Rights of Mankind—will be
enlarged, on and after Sunday next, the 7th of January,
to sixteen pages, containing sixty-four columns, of the
same size and form as at present, without any extra
charge. By its zeal in the cause of progress, and its
staunch devotion to the interests of the people, the Dis-
patch has become a terror to the upholder of abuses,
and a powerful auxiliary on behalf of the oppressed,
whose wrongs will always meet with sympathy and ex-
posure. Encouraged by their success, and anxious to
extend the sphere of their political influence and social
utility, the proprietors have resolved on the proposed
enlargement of the Dispatch, which hereafter will
answer the purpose of four newspapers, and thus accom-
modate four readers at one and the same time. The
columns of the Dispatch will still continue to be enriched
by the powerful contributions of " Publicola," "Caus-
tic," " Censorius." Eliza Cook, and other writers emi-
nently distinguished for their literary attainments, and
whose opinions have ever advocated the cause of the
people, in opposition to tyranny and injustice. It may
also be observed, that the poor man will always receive
legal advice and assistance, as heretofore, from the Dis-
patch. A beautiful new type has been cast, on which
the Dispatch will this year be printed. An edition of
tile Dispatch is published at five o'clock every Saturday
morning, fur transmission by the first train and morning
mails, so that persons residing in towns 250 miles from
London may receive it the same evening, To prevent
disappointment, orders should be given early to Mr.
Richard Wood, 139, Fleet-street, London, to whom post-
office orders may be made payable, or to any of the news-
venders, in town and country.
ELOPEMENT.—There has been great excitement in
Dudley during the past week, in consequence of a cir-
cumstance that has thrown two respectable families
into great distress, namely, the imprudence of a
young lady in having eloped with her grandfather's
servant-man. The party who has caused such unplea-
sant feelings in her family is a daughter of Mr. Bew,
chemist and druggist, Bilston, and also grand-daughter
to Mr. Thomas Lester, wine-merchant, Dudley ; and the
person with whom she has eloped was the man-servant of
Mr. Lester. It appears the young lady has for some months
past lived with her grandfather in Dudley, and acted as
his housekeeper, and while there must have formed this
imprudent attachment. No suspicion exis'ed of any
intimacy between the parties, and; it was not until
Tuesday week that the painful circumstances became
known. Inquiries were set on foot for the parties but
without avail, until Friday last, when too late it was
ascertained that they had been married at Stafford. We
understand that the young lady, who is at present not
of age, will ultimately become possessed of good pro-
perty. The subject has caused great. excitement in
Dudley ; and has plunged the family of the one party
in great distress at her imprudent conduct.— Worcester
Journal.

SKATING IN THE HOME PARK AT WINDSOR.—
Immediately after luncheon on Wednesday last her Ma-
jesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended
by the Lord and Lady in Waiting, Mr. G. E. and the
lion. Mrs. Anson, and other members of the Royal
household, walked from Windsor Castle, and proceeded
through the Slopes to the Home Park, where the Prince
Consort, some of the ladies in the Royal suite, and others
in her Majesty's establishment, amused themselves for
some time, notwithstanding the severity of the weather,
in skating upon the piece of water on the north side of
the footpath leading from Adelaide Lodge across the
park to Datchet. This piece of water, covering up-
wards of two acres in extent, and not more in any one
part than twelve inches in depth (it having been left by
the late high floods after they had subsided), was admi-
rably adapted for the enjoyment of the exercise of skat-
ing, without the risk of any serious accident occurring.
The most dangerous parts, however, were marked out
by branches of trees being spread over them, in order
that they might be avoided by the Prince Consort and
the Royal party. His Royal Highness performed some
verycleverevolutions, cutting out several figures with
considerable skill.
ST. CLEMENT DANES BURIAL•GROUND.—It ap-
pears from the last quarterly report of Ring's College
Hospital that there is every prospect of the above burial-
ground being shortly closed as a place of interment, and
so afford an open space that will be most advantageous
to the densely-populated district around it. The autho-
rities of the hospital have contributed greatly towards
promoting the health of the neighbourhood by purchas-
ing the ground adjoining the present institution, and by
the removal of the pigstyes and boiling houses in Cle-
ment's-lane,
in the yard of which an open grating, com-
municating with the sewer, emitted a most offensive
smell, which, combined with the effluvium arising from I
the boiling fat, was undoubtedly that complained of by
Mr. Walker in his evidence before the Committee of
the House of Commons. This is now removed, and if
the efforts being made by the parish result successfully,
the closing of the ground will afford the greatest grati-
fication,:as indeed would the entire prohibition of burials
in populous places.
AYLESBURY, JAN. S.—The Epiphany sessions for
this county took place on Tuesday last before Sir Tho-
mas Aubrey, Bart., chairman, and a full bench of magis-
trates, amongst whom were Lord Carington, the three
Members for the county, Sir T. Fremantle, Dr. Lee, G.
Pigott, Esq., &c. The calendar contained the names of
above sixty prisoners, but most of the offences were of a
trivial nature. The site for a new lunatic asylum will
be fixed upon by the magistrates, and the question of
the propriety of building judge's lodgings will be dis-
cussed. It will Ise proposed that a special session should
p
be held in February, for the purpose of clearing the
gaol before the assizes.
A GOLDEN DISCOVERY.—At the recent sale of the
effectsother aorftictlhies laante
antique chest
ilcehsestwaspurchased Barton,, O
ufhased by the Hoole, among
Rev. Mr. Price, of Longton, to whose residence it was
removed. On examining the interior, Mr. Price was
surprised in finding secreted therein the sum of 2401.,
which had evidently reposed in security for a long series
of years. The treasure was immediately returned to
the proper owners.—Liverpool Times.
