EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ELOPEMENT. -S i nee
Tuesday last a considerable excitement has prevailed in
the quiet neighbourhood of Chistlehurst in corm qaence
of the elopement of the daughter of one of the oldest and
wealthiest inhabitanti. The party in question is Miss
Hannah Wells, the only daughter of Mrs. Burgoyne
Wells, relict of Captain B. Wells, who lei! in the Affghan-
istan war. It appears that at the close of last year the
family residence underwent some repairs, during which
Miss Wells was several times observed holding conversa-
tion with one of the masons a young man of the name of
Graydon, a person of most herculean frame. This and
some other circumstances corning to the ear of Mrs. Wells,
Graydon was dismissed the house, and nothing more was
thought of the affair till a few days since, when a letter
was discovered, written by Graydon to the young lady,
in which, after thanking her for certain remittances,
he speaks of his undeviating affection. Upon the dis-
covery of this, steps were taken for the removal of the
" wooed one" to another part of the country. On Tues-
day, however, it was found that the bird had flown, and
it was not ascertained until some hours after that Miss
Wells had entered a chaise about seven that morning.
accompanied by a young man (evidently the mason) and
proceeded in the direction of town. All pursuit was
baffled, and,rieth;reLhestrd the n%rtji.n Wrillii"r
. a mutt waz uy e s tom
Graydon. dated from Hercules- buildings, and contain-
ing a copy of the marriage certificate, from which it ap-
peared that they had been married at St. John's Church
on the previous Friday, the banns having been published
some weeks. The brido is heiress to 20,0001., besides
large estates in Benares and Calcutta, and wants but a
few weeks of her majority. She is somewhat remark-
able in appearance, standing nearly six feet in height,
and has lost the sight of one eye.--,North Devon Adver-

support. We prefer, however, adverting to the report
which was read by the secretary to the meeting. From
that document it appears that the hospital has not
suffered material injury from the prevailing commercial
distress; that its funds are increasing, and that it may
be said to be in a prosperous condition. A ward, which
is capable of accommodating 30 patients, is at present
occupied as a chapel, and the efforts of those, interested
in the affairs of the charity are directed to the object of
rendering that space applicable fur the purposes of the
charity, and of providing fresh means tor the spiritual
edification of the inmates. Since November, 1846,
when the new hospital was opened, 439 persons have
been received as in-door patients, and of these 272 have
received permanent relief, The number of deaths has
been 79. Since the f(Actuation of the. institution 8,068
persOns have been attended as outdoor patients, and
altogether we cannot give a better proof of the merits of
this charity than, by saying that the subscriptions and
donations announced during the evening amounted to

SIR JAMES Ross'sEXPEDITION,--.The tollOWing is
an extract of a letter from a seaman on board, dated— '
"Her Majesty's ship Enterprise, at sea,,Muy 20.
"We have just got through the Pentland Firth, safe
and all well. The pilot at this moment leaves us, so
that, shOuld we blessed with a fair wind, we shall
make the ice in from eight to ten days'-time. We are
ill happy,and comfortable on board, and, to all appear-
ance, we are likely to continue so until the voyage .is up.
We are living like fighting cocks—stewed b;efet and
seep!,l ,Oue day roast beef and potatoes, another salt
beer;"pudding and pickles the following day; and so on.
Only fancy sailors living on such sumptuous fare and
delicacies. The Investigator keeps very good company
vith us ; or if any difference, we sail the best. We are
.01erably a ell to rights now, and our crew are enjoying
' watch and watch.' I do not think we shall be gone
more than eighteen months."
THE OLD CANorus.—This fine old ship, built in 1;94,
is once more in ordinary. She has been commanded,
during her term of service, by one of the bast officers
and most thorough sailors in the world. Her ship's
company have been a happy lot, and a credit to the cur-
vice, and although, bite their favourite captain, they
save evinced little liking for "sailor soldiering," or
eseiess drill, they, nevertheless, at anilines, when neces-
sity demanded the performances of real feats of seaman-
'hire have showed their superior traieing and efficiency.
THE NEW BASIN AT DEVONPORT DCCKYARD.—
Quackery is to be put to the test, andeherefore quackery
will be exposed. The Admiralty have at length taken
t wise and reasonable course with respect to the new
lash) at Devonport. Their Lordships • hare engaged
Hr. James M. Ronde], C.E., to proceed to Deeonport on
the 6th instant, to inquire into and report upon the
present state of the works (as they state), in order that
,hey may have the advantage 'at a high professional
opinion on the much-disputed question of one dock or
three docks, an open or a closed basin. Their Lomb,
ships have directed that the officers are to give every
facility to Mr. Rendel when he arrives, so that he may
make himself master of the facts of the case. Every
officer whose evidence he' may wish to hare is to be put
in attendance, and is to answer all questions put to him;
but their Lordships particularly desire that none are un-
necessarily or privately to obtrude their opinions upon
him, it being the anxious wish of the Admiralty to bring
this matter to an issue upon public grounds, and in such
a way as to secure the greatest nubile benefit.

ready to r,crive them; but on our asking the object of

against their proceedings, they remained tranquil, and

Prince of Weirs contributed the muoificent donation of

were received with more than wonted enthusiasm. We
are gratified to see that the auxiliary, fund has been esta-
blished for the benefit of destitute persons who ire in the

that fund the large sum of 500/. Not only is the present
condition of the hospital highly encouragill, but its
future prospects are most hopeful. Mr. S. C. Hall an •

completion, but to sing her best songs, and to exert her.

INTERESTING DISCOVERY.—On Friday last an
ancient coffin, of Caen stone, was discovered in a field
near Prested Hall wood, Messing, near Kelvedon, on the
rarm of Air. Samuel Moore, by a man who was engaged
in land ditchinee The top flagstone was only about 18
inches below the surface of the ground; and the man was
apprised of some unusual obstacle to his operations by
the hollow sounds Which followed the blows of the pick-
:axe. By direction of Mr. Moore, who was informed of
the circumstance, the earth was removed round the spot,
so as to lay bare the coffin, which was found to be seven
feet lung, and about eighteen inches deep, the covering
being formed of three flagstones, which had apparently
been cemented on. The skeleton which it contained was
in an .almoet perfect state when first opened, but all'
ex-
cept the.principal bones crumbled to dust on exposure to
the air; the teeth were in beautiful preservation. Mr.
L'atinore, surgeon, of Kelvedon, visited the spot soon
After the discovery, and pronounced the remains to be
those of a young person about 19 years of age, but of
which sex, owing to the state of decay, he was unable to
state. The coffin, which is of oblong shape, lay in posi-
tion from north to south. No inFcription or date could
be found upon any pert of the coffin to indicate the for-
mer rank or generation of its now mouldering occupant.
It has since been removed to the residence of Mr. Moore,
where many have gratified their curiosity by viewing the
relic of afar back age.—Essex Standard.
TIIE
,LATE FIRE IN WHITECJIAPEL.—Ever since
Tuesday night a considerable body of fire has remained
in the ruins of Messrs. Brown and Co.'s chicory factory,
St. Mary-street, IVhitechapel, which it will be remem-
bered was destroyed by fire that evening. The firemen
have, in consequence, been employed in 'throwing water
uporetlieeplecei both by night and day; but • ovviegeto
the great ultitucte of the building very little water ;could
be throwu upon the upper wall, and the bond, tan-
her, upon being wholly destroyed, so weakened the
walls. that bete/cell, eleven and tvvelva o'clieck•
on Friday morning the principal portion of the
faetory„, fell with a tremendous crash. • Several tons
weight of bricks fell upon the adjoining, house, occupied
by Mr. Jelleund, a' japenner, which forced in the'roof -
and carried, away the floors, besides destroying every-
thing in the house. Another house, belonging to Mr.
Bertram, the brewer, in the Brewhoiise-yard, was also
forced in, and several of the out-buildings, belonging, to
the stem party, were partially destroyed. The various
parties working in the yard narrowly escaped with their
lives. As soon as the that and smoke had in some mea-
sure cleared away, a terrible sight presented itself. '4n
the midst of the hot bricks was to be seen a man, buried
up to the neck.- Heeded out to the people to assist him,
and several parties having, at the risk of losing their
own lives, gone to his aid, they, 'after considerable diffi-
culty, Succeeded in getting the unfortunate man out.
Ile was then perfectly insensible, his thighs were broken,
and his head„was cut open. Without delay he was re-;• •
moved to the.Yeendun I lospital, but from the serious na-
ture of the injuries he has received, there is very little
chance of his recovery.

still a considerable quantity of grain lodged in this yard
for similar service, but the shipments are going on very
rapidly, and it is expec'ed the whole will b© cleared out

FALLING IN OF A SUSPENSION BRIDGE. We
regret to say that the handsome and useful structure
across the Forth, which was erected seventeen years
ago by the late Colonel Graham, of Meiklevvood, fell
into the river on Monday last, in consequence of the dry
rot having seized the principal timbers. The bridge was
erected on the thrust and tension oinciple which is the
same as that which sustains tha tube lately erected
across the Con rray, having a span of 400 feet. The
span of Meiklewood bridge was 101 feet ; and, as a
proof of the strength of this principle o structure,-
the bridge continued to carry heavily loaded carts for
months, if not for years, after the dry rot had so
pervaded the main timbers that almost the whole body
of the beams were decayed. On the Thursday pre-
ceding the fall, five carts, heavily loaded with barley,
passed along the bridge with safety. Slight symp-
toms of the decay were observed on Saturday. The
bridge fell when there was no person upon it, and when
parties sent to inspect it were just approaching.—Sttr-
ling Journal.

however, took place, though some few groups of persons
were to be seen near the spot about tha usual time for
such gatherings.—Leicester Chronicle.

that extensive arrangements have been made by the

'0 THE EDITOR OF ?'HE SUN.
my first letter on the Derby I pointed out
Surplice as gent's beat horse, Nil Desperandum as
Day's, and Glendower as Dilly's, but reserved my
opinion of Springy Jack until last Monday week, when
I placed him first, with Surplice and Nil Desperandum
in attendance ; this, I am convinced, wuld have been the actual position of the horses at the wionning-pest but
for a small chapter of accidents ; to wit—Butler's fine
riding and attempt to win on the post was not justifiable
with such a horse as Springy Jack, and with such an
opponent as Surplice. In rey opinion, had Butler made
his horse level with Surplice at the stand, by bringing
him out a little earlier, Springy Jack would have won
the Derby of '4B by at least a neck, if not half-a-length.
It was Surplice's lead of a clear length at the stand which
gave him the race, his game opponent in so few strides
not being able to get nearer than his shoulders. Another

at which helped to render null my -first prophetic
enunciation, was the delicate state of Nil Desperiu.dom's legs (which led to his spreinieg his knee in the race).
and which I did not learn until the morning beano the
race ; but which I rectified in a second letter by taking
Surplice and Springy Jack as a certainty for the brat
two places, and Eagle's Plume as the represen:ative of
the outside division ; by this I have, for the fourth time,
pulled through successfully on the greatest race its Christendom. : : .

Fergus and Vampyre; and from the light weights, Mrs.
Taft, lodine, Swordplayer, Sister to Valentissimo and

may perchance turn up the &wand second.
Lady Wildair I consider to be as good if n't better
-than anything in the race; and to Lord Chet.terfield,
with her or Mrs. Taft the stakes I think will go.
I can fancy the horses passing the post ha the follow-

ONEI~' DEFENCE
OF THE
POLISH NATION.

• TO THE EDIT6I? OF THE SUN.
SIR ,—Whoever speaks of facts should in •
look to the causes from whence such facts grinustice
It has very generally become the fashion to assume
that the Poles are a demoralized nation utterly in-
capable and unworthy to govern them 1,
.1 da-
yse themselves, allt serving neither smpathy nor support.
This wholesale condemnation is certainly a very
convenient way of getting rid of a troublesome goes-
tion ; but it is as unjust as it is ungenerous and 8.-Ifiih.
The Poles are demoralized! Granted ; but why are
they so ? There was a time when they, without
Contradiction and reproach, ranked with any !lotion
in Europe; and, therefore, to judge justly, we ought
to trace 'the causes of this demoralization, rather than
so severely attack their present faults.. i':ore than
thirty years, before the first partitionr-of Poland in
1772, Russian policy, steadily-working its way west-
ward, began the demoralization of its unfortunate
victim, and by the most infamous intrigues succeeded
but too well. What, then, is to be expected of a
nation, die systematic demoralization of which can he
traced more than a century back ?
The work of intrigue was followed up by oppres-
sion and tyranny, and every species of infamous treat-
ment was resorted to, in order to crush Polish
nationality; and yet the perpetrators of such iniqaity
are now the first hypocritically to condemn the
growth of the seed sown by themselves.
Is it to be wondered at, that a nation so systemati-
catty oppressed, so tyrannically governed, should
degenerate, hate and curse its oppressors, and as
opportunity offered, try to avenge the wrongs of a
century?
Far from wishing entirely to exculpate the Poles
from some acts of curelty, recently committed in the
Grand Duchy of Posen, although these -acts are
grossly exaggerated, as an eye-witness can testify, the
causes which provoked these lamentable occurrences
should be taken into consideration.., ._.
The promises given to the Poles, .at die time of the
liberation of Mieroslawski, and the other Berlin
prisoners, were afterwards as good as nullified by in-
trigues entered into with the Jews, and part of the
German population, who were urged to resist the
attempts of the Poles at forming a Polish Government,
a mean trick to obviate that promise of reconstitution
given in a moment of weakness, and of which it
would appear the Prussian Government.- afterwards
repented; having in the hour of need shown libe-
rality, it hastened to counteract that „step hylthe
creation of dissensions between the two populations.
The question is simply this : Is the Grand Duchy
of Posen originally " Polish" or not ? lt .is; and
since the Prussian Government authorised .the Poles
to reconstitute themselves under a purely-Polish go-
vernment, the German population of course must
adhere to this new state of things.
When the Duchy of Posen was incorpora'ed with
the kingdom of Prussia, the depreciation of property
caused a great many Germans to settle in .-Poland,
not from any motives of philanthropy, but ,from
motives purely of interest. These and the Jaws, who
have enriched themselves upon the Polish soil ,are the
men who now want to sever half the auchyitrosn
Poland, and incorporate it with Germany, : :,
Their duty would be either to Pitionize 'themselves,
or leave the country which so abundantly. pi:wished
them for the last thirty-three years • yet they have
allowed themselves to be made a tool , of, to further
the ends of the Prussian Government. That Govern-
ment objects now to give up Fosen, the. capital, on
the plea that they have spent a million sterling to
convert it into a fortress! Was this ever _doer for
the benefit of the Poles ? Did they ever flit the Go-
vernment for such a boon ? And ytit this scourge is
now made a pretext to
.rob the Poles of part of their
own ! this, too, at the time when the Governmtnt offers
freedom, and nationality !
Who can wonder at the exasperation of the Poles?
who can wonder at excesses in retaliation ,on an
enemy, who wages a war of extermination against
them, slaughtering them by thousands, and hunting
them down like wild beasts ; and all for svlia P for
that in their simplicity they thought the Govern-
ment had been sincere in its permission to res.
constitute themselves, and in its promise of a Polish
Government.

In justice to the Prussian Government it must be
confessed that the Duchy under its rule land -less
cause to complain than, the kingdom under that of
Russia, and Galicia under that of Austria ; and that
the improvements in agriculture and ekimmerce intrPe
duced by the German population, have had the most
beneficial effects in the Duchy; yet what is all this in
comparison with the loss of nationality ? which by
the higher degree of civilization of the German po-
pulation is more jeopardized in the duchy of Posen
than in Russian or Austrian Poland, where the op-
pressors are lower in the scale of civilization than the
oppressed.
Poland is a country which, from tWiastrieis of its
natural resources, cannot be ruined, and the Poles are
a nation who, from their high intelligence and tradl-
tiortal love of freedom, can never be annihilated.
This has been abundantly proved during the last cen-
tury, and since the various partitions, the effect of
which has only been to strengthen their love of
country and nationality, and teach them the value of
union.
Systematic demoralization, subsequent oppression
and misrule, have injuriously acted upon the nations'
character ; this is no less true than lamentable, but it
is a natural consequence, which under similar cir-
cumstances would arise in every nation.
It does not, however, follow that wrong should be
continued because wrong has been done during a
The status quo of 1772 is due to Poland, and if
Germany was alive to her real interests, she would
Willingly grant and assist the reconstruction of that
ancient country on the widest and most liberal basis;
whether the Poles, after such reunion would be in-
capable of managing their own affairs would remain
to he seen, and would in fact be no business of other
nations. At all events, before condemning them, as
incapable, the experiment should be tried ; the mere
assertion " that they are unworthy, unprepared, and
incapable," is no less insulting now, than the origieal
spoliation was infamous.
It should not be forgotten that the Poles of to day
are not the Poles of the lest century ; misfortune and
exile have had their chastening effect upon the present :
generation:

The objection that the Poles are a nation of nobles
only, and serfs, is now removed, for actual serfdom
