A ROMANCE OF LOVE AND MAR-

RIAGE.
Coachmen and guards—guards in particular—time
out of mind, have been proverbial for their gallantry;
and events justify the conclusion that the modern race
do no dishonour to their predecessors in this particu-
ar- It is not, therefore, to be wondered at that Mr.
Robert Moore, guard of the London and Holyhead
'nail, as he passed every day through the Abbey
roregate, Shrewsbury, looked with some degree
of interest, which probably displayed itself in his
countenance, at
,the possessor of a pair of
fine eyes which peered regularly from the window
a the coach rattled through the street. The
admiring look gradually expanded to a smile,
and then he ventured on a bow of friendly
recognition, which was coquettishly but unmis-
takeably returned. This was it, the month of April.
A week or two of this pantomimic courtship passed,
When an opportunity occurred which brought them
into more immediate contact. As the coach dashed
along the street, the lady was absent from the win-
dow; but on the road stood a well-known female
figure, which requested to be conveyed to Welsh-
pool. She was invited to take her seat by the guard,
and from that moment he was a doomed man. In
the course of an interesting conversation she
inadvertently let drop a few expressions which
showed that she was the widow of Colonel Tripp,
allied to a noble family, and left with a very hand-
some maintenance. She was lonely, however, and
amused herself with her brother's children. Mr. Moore
naturally felt increased interest in the lady, was
highly delighted with her manner and conversation,
and parted with her with much regret. They met
again ; the favourable impression she had made on him
at first was deepened; interviews were more frequent,
and at length he asked the important question, and
Was, after a considerable amount of hesitation, accepted.
As was due to the lady of Colonel Tripp, Mr. Moore
and his bride drove to Birmingham in handsome style,
and on the 15th of June (about two months from the
time they had first seen each other), they were mar-
lied by license at the Old Church, Edgbaston.
After the ceremony, they immediately started to
London, and took apartments at the Euston-square
hotel. Here they resided for ten weeks, in a con-
tinued round of gaiety ; and Mrs. Moore took occa-
sion, while in London, to visit some of her aristocratic
acquaintances. A fashionable equipage was always
at their service; the parks were regularly visited;
and Mr. Moore felt renewed delight and interest in
the recognition by his lady of the nobility as they
also lolled easily along in carriages scarcely more
handsome than his own. As it was necessary, however,
that some settlement with regard to her money should
take place, she expressed a wish to call on Glyn
and Co., of Lombard-street, her bankers, to as-
certain exactly in what condition her affairs were.
She accordingly did so, and found that, instead of
having 5,0001., as she expected, Messrs. Glyn had
not snore than 2,0001.; but that 3,0001. were invested
in a club at the Thatched House Tavern, which could
easily be made available. Satisfied with the explana-
tion, they had time to enjoy themselves. Mrs. Moore,
who was particularly acquainted with the Earl of Jer-
sey, made frequent visits to his Lordship's house, in
Berkeley-square; called on the Duke of Wellington, at
Apsley House; visited at Lord Palmerston's, and left
her cards at the residence of many of her titled friends.
Accordingly, finding she was possessed dimple fortune,
She entreated Mr. Moore to give up his situation
as guard of the mail, as not only was it unnecessary
so far as pecuniary matters were concerned, but de-
rogatory,, to a lady of her birth and connexions.
This proposition, however, he took time to consider,
and ten weeks having elapsed since they arrived
in London, they returned to Birmingham. Then
it was that whispers began to reach his ears
that his wife was not exactly so nobly connected
as he had imagined ; and although he did
think it strange, that while visiting the houses
of the nobility with his wife, he had to
remain in the carriage, yet he gave no heed
to the slander, and threatened actions against
some of his friends who propagated it. Writing,
however, to Mr. Yates, of Pontypool, who had a suffi-
cient sum of money of hers in his hands to defray in-
cidental expenses—their trip to London bring some-
what expensive, costing about 500/. Mr. Yates re-
turned an answer that he had not a farthing belonging
to the lady. Subsequent inquiry made more alarm-
ing disclosures. It was found that the lady had not
a farthing in the world, was neither nobly born nor
aristocratically connected, was not the widow of
Colonel Tripp, and, what was far worse, was no
widow at all, but the wife of a commercial
traveller, with four children. Mr. and Mrs.
Tripp, however continued to live together
for several years, and four children were
born ; but from some cause or other they eventually,
about two years ago, separated, Mr. Tripp allowing
his wife sufficient maintenance for herself and
children. Here was a discovery for Mr. Moore—
duped, disappointed, cheated out of upwards of 500/.,
and married to another man's wife ; he gave her into
custody at Birmingham, on a charge of bigamy
She was taken on Friday last to Shrewsbury, in
custody of Inspector Glossop, the marriages proved
against her, and the fact of her first husband
being alive satisfactorily demonstrated by his being
in Shrewsbury. On Monday she was remitted to
Birmingham, and brought up at the public office here,
but no prosecutor appearing against her, she was
discharged ; and so ended one of the most consum-
mate pieces of deception, admirably contrived, and
skilfully executed, which has taken place in this part
of the country for some time.—Birmingham Journal.

EMIGRATION TO SOUTH AUSTRALIA.—From a Par-
liamentary return just issued, it appears that the ave-
rage cost of passage of emigrants from England to South
Australia, in ships chartered by her Majesty's Colonial
Land and Emigration Commissioners from the Ist of
January, 1846, to the present time, is computed at
37,4011.; the number of statute adults embarked it,
fifteen ships being 3,021; and the average cogs of each
adult being 121. 7s. 7td. A statute adult is one person
of the ag. of fourteen years and upwards, or two per-
sons between one and fourteen. This amount represents
the net average cost of the conveyance and victualling
of the emigrants, and is exclusive of gratuities allowed
to the surgeons, superintendent, and officers of the ships,
and other small incidental expenses, as books, &c.
LEITH.—GuANo.—As it may be useful to agri-
culturists to know the prospects of supply of this article
for next season, we give the following statistics, com-
piled from authentic information :—ln September last
year the stock in the ports of the Cl)de anmuntod to
upwards of 18,000 tons ; in Leith at the same date it
exceeded 4,500 tons ; the price then ranged from 71. 10s.
to 81. per ton. The stock in Glasgow on September 18,
1847, comprehending all qualities of Ichaboe, was only
4,000 tons. In Leith the stock was only 1,100 tons,
which, taken together, gives only 5,100 tons to supply
the consumption, which last year amounted to 17,400
tons. The price now asked is 91. per ton. How is the
supply to be made up, although it is generally allowed
that it is equal, compared with other manures, to 151.
per ton.

NAVVIE RIOT.—On Saturday morning last, in
consequence of the bad state of the weather, the navvies
were prevented from working, and they wandered about
the streets of Stonehaven in groups. Between three
and four o'clock in the afternoon the Highlanders and
Irish disagreed, when a fierce scuffle ensued, in which
the Highlanders were victorious. They then paraded
the streets in triumph, howling and making a most
hideous noise, to the annoyance of the peaceable inhabi-
tants, until between nine and ten at night, when, it
would appear, they had wrought up their passions to
the highest pitch, for they went in pursuit of a tradesman
belonging to this place who had become obnoxious to
them from his having occasionally assisted the police in
apprehending several of their fellow-labourers. The
individual fled from their rage, but still they pursued,
stnd attacked a widow's house, in which they thought he
had taken shelter, violently forcing open the door, but
providentially missed their prey, for he was concealed
In another quarter. The five navvies who were appre-
hended on Saturday were brought up for trial on Mon-
day before the sheriff,' when they all pleaded guilty, and
were sentenced as follows:—one to forty days, three to
thirty days, and one to twenty days' imprisonment.-

HIGII TIDE AT DOVER.--Last Sunday, at noon,
the tide was higher at Dover harbour than it has been
for several years. At the mouth the depth of water
measured twenty feet, whilst several of the piers aed
jetties were completely overflowed. The hotel which the
Oath-Eastern Company are erecting at the terminus,
hat several feet of water in the kitchens and cellars.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TAT TE RSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
The Cesarewitch betting was remarkable for the sud-
den appearance of Geraldine, of whom nothing had been
heard previously, except for the Cambridgeshire. The
first bets laid were at 15 and 16 to 1; her partisans,
however, were so numerous and eager, that before the
books were closed is little as 9to 1 was taken. War
Eagle was also in high favour, insomuch that at the
close it was a near thing for the premiership betwee❑
him and Reminiscence. Inheritress and the Miss Whip
filly were in some demand in the early part of the day,
and near its close Cossack came into play, the first bet
laid against him being 1,000 to 30, and the last 2,000 to
100. Ulysses and Wood Pigeon were on the " go," and
the feeling with regard to Vanity did not appear very
favourable. A few bets were laid o❑ the Clearwell,
Cambridgeshire, and Derby, at the quoted prices. We
subjoin the final averages:—

COURT CIRCULAR.

`WINDSOR, THURSDAY.—The unfavourable state of
the weather this morning prevented her Majesty or
the Royal Family leaving the Castle.
Prince Albert, attended by Mr. G. E. Anson, Col
the Hon. C. B. Phipps, and Major-General Bowles,
left the Castle early this morning for town, travelling
by the Great Western Railway. His Royal High•
ness returned to Windsor about two o'clock.
The royal dinner party at the Castle this evening
is expected to include her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, the Lady in Waiting of the
Duchess of Kent, the Baroness de Speth, Mr. G. E.
and the Hon. Mrs. Anson, Miss Dawson Darner, and
Sir Geeorge Couper.
The band of the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards
attend during dinner. Her Majesty's private band
afterwards attend in the Castle.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by
Mr. G. E. Anson, Hun. Colonel Phipps, and Major-
General Bowles, arrived at Buckingham Palace yes-
terday morning from Windsor Castle. His Royal
Highness visited her Majesty the Queen Dowager, at
Marlborough-house, and afterwards, attended by Mr.
Anson, went to Somerset-house to attend a meeting
at the office of the Duchy of Cornwall. Shortly be-
fore one o'clock the Prince proceeded to the Padding-
ton terminus, and left town on his return by a special
train.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, at-
tended by Baroness de Speth, arrived at her residence,
Clarence-house, St. James's, at one o'clock yesterday
afternoon, from Frogmore-house, Windsor. Her
Royal Highness visited her Majesty the Queen
Dowager and her Serene Highness the Duchess Ida
of Saxe Weimar, at Marlborough-house, and at
three o'clock left town on her return to Frogmore-
house.
Viscount Morpeth has arrived in town.

WINDSOR, THURSDAY EVENING.—The heavy rain
which fell here almost incessantly from nine o'clock until
nearly four, prevented the Queen and Royal Family
from taking their usual out-door exercise ; but at that
hour the rain was succeeded by an hour or two of bril-
liant sunshine, and the Royal Children, with their ponies
and attendants, went out to. the lawns and shrubberies
of the Home Park, accompanied by the Dowager Lady
Lyttelten, and did not return to the Castle until after
sunset. There have been no arrivals at the Castle to-
day. It is not true, as stated in one of the papers yes-
terday, that the Royal Children were placed in danger
on the previous day, by the running away of the horse
on the Eastern Terrace. Fortunately the Royal Chil-
dren were in a distant part of the Castle with their pre-
ceptress, and did not know of the occurrence until some
hours after.
DEATH Or HENRY HOWARD, R.A.—Mr. Howard,
the royal academician, the secretary to the academy, and
the professor of painting in that institution, died oa the
sth instant at Oxford, in the 78th year of bis age. My.
Howard began to exhibit for the first time at the Rowel
Academy in the year 1794. He was then at Rome, and
sent for exhibition " The Dream of Cain," from Gesner's
" Death of Abel." In 1795 we find him living in the
Strand, and exhibiting at Somerst-house, " Puck from
Midsummer Night's Dream," " Ariel from the Tempest,"
and " Satan awakening in the burning Lake." In 1801
h. e was elected an associate of the Royal Academy, and
in 1808, at the same time with the late Mr. Phillips, an
R.A. In 1811, on the death of Mr. Richards, he was
made secretary to the Royal Academy ; and in 1833, on
the resignation of Mr. Phillips, selected to fill the im-
portant office of professor of painting in that institution.
Mr. Howard was the third senior royal academician; the
father of the academy is the estimable president, and the
next in succession Mr. J. M. W. Turner. The new
secretary will of course be Mr. Knight, who has acted as
deputy to Mr. Howard for some time past.

THE MONETARY CRISIS.
TO 7'HE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sut,—Will you allow me, through the medium of
your widely circulated paper, to suggest, in a few
lines, the sketch of a bold and immediately applicable
remedy for the present crisis, when trade and com-
merce are nearly at a stand, or must soon come to
one, if this fearful monetary stringency continues.
Something must be done, and what is it to be ? if
merchants, and factors, and manufacturers are to
stop, millic.ns to whom they give employment,
either directly or indirectly, will have no earnings,
and misery and confusion will spread and increase.
What, then, can be done to meet the evil ? The
only remedy at present appears to be a free circula-
tion of money, and that immediately. We have no
time to wait until Parliament assembles, to discuss,
amend, or repeal the Bank Act of 1844, or until the
Anti-Gold-law League succeeds in its plans. We
want immediate resources. When the tradesman
cannot get his trade bills discounted trade must
cease! When respectable middle-class merchants
cannot sell their bills on 'Change, the commerce of
the country is at an end. Go to the banks : they
will and can discount first-class bills only ; they do
not doubt the ultimate safety of a middle-class bill,
with drawer, acceptor, and one or more endorsers, but
they cannot give you money for it ! The discounters
have no money for that class of bills, and the con-
sequence is ruinous to trade and commerce.
Let me suggest, then, that the people, the middle
classes, help themselves in this dilemma, and unite
for opening immediately
