ELOPEMENT.—Sorne time since the daughter of a
gentleman residing at Camberwell, a young lady of great
personal beauty and accomplishments, disappeared from her
father's house, and no traces of her could be discovered. Her
parents were overwhelmed with distress, which, however, was
in some measure alleviated by their receiving a letter the day
after the flight, assuring them that she was well and in safety,
and that they might rest satisfied they would hear from her
again. What added to the mystery was, that the young lady
had taken no clothes with her, except those which she wore on
the day previous to her elopement. Thus things remained for
near three weeks, no traces of the fugitive being discovered till
Friday last, when the following curious circumstance led to the
discovery of her retreat. A friend of the lady's father being
at the Haymarket Theatre on the evening in question, his at-
tention was attracted by the appearance of a lady and gentle-
man, who were in the adjoining box to him, the former of whom
he was persuaded be had seen before, but could not recollect
when or where. At length, from some circumstance, he re-
collected that the resemblance of the lady which had struck
him was his neighbour's lost daughter. After the play was over
he watched them home, and saw them enter a house in Oxen-
den-street, Haymarket. The following morning he imparted
his suspicions to the lady's father, who, anxious to satisfy his
hopes and fears, immediately set off with his friend to the house
in Oxenden-street, where be discovered his long-lost child. A
satisfactory explanation immediately took place, from which it
appeared that the lady was married to the gentleman who ac-
companied her to the theatre on the preceding evening, and
who is the son of a most respectable clergyman, residing in the
country. Immediate information of the circumstance was for.
warded to the father of the gentleman, and affairs are in a fair
way of adjustment.

A list has been printed, by direction of the House
of Commons, of all mates and midshipmen now serving in the
navy who have passed their examination for lieutenants prior
to January 1, 1835.. The number is 425 ; but since that
period 173 have passed their examination at the Naval Col-
lege. Of the first number 86 passed in 1834, 76 in 1833, 52
in 1832, 62 in 1831, 54 in 1830, 36 in 1829, 12 in 1828, 13
in 1827, and Bin 1826. There. is lin 1816 and lin 1817 ;
the remainder are distributed in the intervening years.

On Monday week, between the hours Of ten in the
morning and three in the afternoon, a dwelling-house,
at Brompton•en-le-Morthen, was broken open and entered
during the absence of the family, and two parcels of
title deeds, wrapped in brown paper, and the probate copy of
a will on parchment, &c. were feloniously stolen therefrom.—

We are glad to find that a Society is likely to be
formed in this country (similar to one in the diocese of Bath
and Wells), in connection with the Incorporated Society in
London for Building and Repairing Churches and Chapels.
We hear requisitions are in circulation in the different dean-
neries to convene a public meeting of the laity and Clergy for
the laudable purpose of establishing such an institution.—

pocket pistols are not to be considered as prohibited or con-
cealed arms.

ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—The ordinary meet-
ing was held on Monday evening, when an interesting con-
versation took place on the ravages of a new species of aphes,
described as a new blight by the market gardeners, in the vi-
cinity of the metropolis, which principally attacked the cab
bage and broccoli plants. In the course of the observations it
was stated that the best remedy that had been proved was equal
parts of an infusion of tobacco and lime water, frequently
cast over the plants. Some account was also given of the new
silk worm, recently introduced to the notice of the Members,
and a memoir was read upon some Indian insects, in a letter
addressed by Mr. Benson to Mr. Kirby.
Fulton is claimed as a native of New York, :and it
was recently so stated by one of our city papers. This dis-
tinguished individual was born in Lancaster county, Pa., and
came at an early age to this city to pursue the profession of
landscape and portrait painter. fly this pursuit he realised,
while here, a sufficient sum to purchase a farm for his mother
in this State. At the acre of twenty-one he went to England,
and became a pupil of Benjamin West, President of the Royal
Aca,lemy, also a native of Pennsylvania. He remained in
Europe till 1806, when he returned to this country, and set-
tled in New York, where be died in February, 1815.—Phila-
delphia Price Current.
The German Courrier has the following, under date
of Vienna, August 25 :—" The Emperor and Empress of
Russia, under the title of Count and Countess de Rostopchin,
and the Hereditary Prince, will be present at the coronation
at Prague ; the King of Prussia, under the title of the Count
de Teck, will also attend this imposing ceremony, which will
be surrounded with extraordinary magnificence. The Prince
de Lichtenstein has already expended 250,000 francs in pre-
parations for it."
The Diet, in adopting the project of reply to the
French Note, has conciliated public opinion. Uniting frank-
ness and energy with courtesy, M. Monnard has achieved, in
the happiest manner, the task of replying. Every line ex-
presses a full measure of Swiss indignation and susceptibility.
The Commission was unanimous for adopting the project ; and
the same unanimity took place in the Diet. The ballot pro-
claims this rare conformity of views and sentiments among the
Deputies of the 22 Cantons ; Radicals and Ultra, together
with the Moderates of all shades, were agreed on the great
question of national honour and independence.—llelvetie.
MRS. GRAHAM.—The following has been ad-
dressed to the editor of a morning paper:—" Sir,—l have this
day visited Mr. Graham, and have great pleasure in announcing
her perfect convalescence, and she may, I consider, now (with
a proper invalid's carriage) be safely removed to town.
" I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,

A QUA TICS.—The Greenwich match amongst the
apprentices was rowed on Monday, and won by young Holland,
ssho bids fair one day to astonish the crack men of the river.
CRICKET.—A grand cricket-match is to be played
to-morrow at Bernard's-heath, St. Alban's, which excites much
interest, as it is expected to be well contested. The parties
are ten gentlemen of the Cashio Yeomanry, with their Cap-
tain, Lord Grimston, against eleven others of the three troops
of South Herts Yeomanry.
USEFUL INVENTION.—Much curiosity has been
excited in Oxford by repeated trials of a new invention in-
tended to regulate the speed of carriages when descending a
hill, by means of which the coachman can instantaneously or
progressively lock both the hind wheels. The apparatus was
applied to a four-horse stage, which was loaded with passen-
gers, and, on ascending and descending a hill, was found to
answer all the purposes intended. The inventor then pro-
posed that the coach should be taken down the hill without
the horses, and it was frequently stopped while proceeding at
the rate of twelve miles an hour. Many practical Gentlemen
bad ample proofs of the principle of the invention by having
the coach lifted up, and the two bind wheels allowed to turn
free on the axle, when it was found that a two-pound weight,
placed on the extremity of the wheel, would gently bring it
round, but when the first degree of retarding power was ap-
plied, it took a weight so placed of fifteen pounds to bring it
gently round ; the second degree thirty-six pounds; the third
degree fifty-six pounds; and the fourth degree three quarters
of a hundred; but with this weight no one person was capa-
ble of moving
.either wheel on its axle. Mr. R. Pearson, or-
ganist of the city church, is the inventor.—Oxford Paper.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday afternoon an
inquest was held at the King and Queen public-house, Hare-
street, Bethnal-green, before Mr. Baker, the Coroner, on the
body of James Henney, a silk-weaver, aged 25 years, who
had flung himself into the Regent's Canal on Saturday last.
John Monier said that the deceased married his daughter about
fifteen months ago, and in nine months afterwards she died
during her confinement. Her death had very much affected
the deceased, who was very much attached to her, and drove
him to drink a good deal, and latterly he exhibited symptoms
of unsoundness of mind. On Friday night he slept at his
(witness's) house, and the following morning he got up at six
o'clock and went away, after which he did not see him alive.
Juror—Had he been to Bartholomew Fair ? Witness—l
don't believe he had. Juror—My reason for asking you was,
that on this day twelve months we had an inquest on a young
man in this neighbourhood under nearly precisely similar cir-
cumstances to the present. The young man in that instance
had been to Bartholemew Fair, and having seen something
there that displeased him he returned home and drowned him-
self.—" Temporary Insanity."
A gentleman residing in the vicinity of this town
(Derby), nearly two years ago gave directions to the keeper
of his lodge gates, to offer employment to every able-bodied
man who solicited aims, at 2s. a day and a pint of ale. Dur-
ing the time that has since elapsed, this offer has been made
to 150 beggars of this description ; out of that large number
only one accepted the offer, and he was employed in the gar-
den ; he did not stop above three or four days. One of these
idle rascals, on being expostulated with, said he had rather
beg than work—it was a better trade ' • that was a poor street
in which he could not get 3d., and he could go through
twenty in a day.—Derby Reporter.
OPIUM EATING IN INDIA.—Mr. Kerr tells us
that in the famine which prevailed in the East Indies, in 1770,
opium was purchased by the unhappy sufferers, at exorbitant
prices, to allay the cravings of hunger, and to banish the
dreadful prospects of death. My friend Col. Kemp, of the
13th regiment of Bombay infantry, tells me he also has known
opium used by the Indians, during a famine, to allay the pains
of hunger, though not to banish the prospect of death, as above
stated ; since no persons meet death more easily than the na-
tives of India. Colonel Kemp also tells me that the astonish-
ing marches made by the Pindaree horsemen were effected by
giving the horses opium, their masters not having time to give
them their usual f00d.... f. Pereira's Lectures, in Medical
Gazette.

POPULATION OF BEDFORD.—When the census
was taken in 1831 the population of Bedford was 6,900. From
a return recently ordered to be taken by the Town Council,
the population is said to be 9,850, being an increase of about
3,000 souls in six years. In the latter calculation it is said
that several houses have been admitted, and it is generally
supposed thz.t had Lord John Russell been fully aware of
the anti-Malthusian principles of the Bedford people, the peti-
tion Quarter Sessions would not have

Northamptonshire, attention has been attracted
to the sale of Mr. Garratt's celebrated dock at Great Harrow-
den, which took place on Wednesday last. The sheep, natives
of the county, combined all the grand points sought after—
sir', quality, and wool. They fetched high prices :-638
guineas was given for 49 shearling,s ; 42 two-shears brought
416/. 16s. ; twelve others were sold for 1291. 13s. ; and for
228 ewes and theaves 1,195/. 15s. were paid.
