LORD DUNDONALD'S PATENT.—JUDICIAL COM-
MITTEE OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL.—The Earl of Dun-
donald appeared in person before the Court yesterday
morning, praying an extension of the patent of his
rotatory engine. His Lordship stated that he had in-
curred an expense of about 16,0001. in bringing out
the patent, and applying it to boats, &c. No oppo-
sition was offered by any person, and the Crown
acquiesced in the extension. Their Lordship,. granted
an extension of the patent for the term of fourt"At
,years.

Sir Robert Peel is expected to return to town to.
day from Brighton, and on Saturday will dine at Guildhall.
ARRIVAL OF SIR WM. PARKER.—The Cornwallis,
72, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker,
K.C.B. (blue at the fore), Capt. 11. Richards, arrived at
Spithead on the 4th instant. Sir Wm. Parker landed at
noon on the following day, and paid his respects to the
Commander-in-Chief. Sir William is looking well. He
arrived in London on Tuesday. The Cornwallis had a
long passage home from the Cape, and experienced very
heavy weather in the Channel, with foul winds. She
left the Cape the 31st of August, having been there eight
days.
ELOPEMENT.—On Sunday morning last, the neigh-
bourhood of Exe Bridge was thrown into a state of ex-
citement, in consequence of the early :nd unexpected
departure from the home of his parents of a youth six-
teen years of age, of respectable connexions. Intelli-
gence soon reached the ears of his mother that he had
eloped with a lady, somewhat on the wrong side of thirty,

friends proceeded, and arrived in time to prevent a boy
of sixteen being married to a lady of thirty-six ! whose
disappointment seems to have known no bounds, on
finding she was thus foiled in her attempt to get a hus-
band, for " dear George" turned a deaf ear to her en-
treaties, and returned to his home, leaving Charlotte to
console herself with the recollection that " there's many
a slip between the cup and the lip."— Western Luminary.
A somewhat curious incident, in the way of sending
letters at sea in bottles, occurred lately. On the 4th inst.
a letter was received at the Admiralty, inclosing a paper
which had been washed ashore in a bottle at Berry
Head, Brixham, and picked up by a man belonging to
the Coast Guard on the 3d inst. This paper was as fol-
lows :—" Bound to England from China and the Cape of
Good Hope, her Majesty's ship Cornwallis, off Portland
Bill, bearing S.E. by S. seven miles, blowing fresh, Nov.
1." No advice had been received at the Admiralty of
the arrival of the Cornwallis when the foregoing paper
came to hand, and it was not for three hours afterwards
that the above ship was telegraphed on running into
Spithead.
