A SAD DISAPPOINTMENT.--A very curious circumstance
occurred at St. Nicholas's church, Nottingham, on Saturday
morning, the Bth instant. A young man at Mansfield had
formed an attachment to a young lady at Kirlington, in that
county, and the parties (whose names, from motives of deli-
cacy, we shall not mention) were about the age of eighteen
years. On account of the disparity of circumstances, the
friends of the young lady were much opposed to the .connexion,
but the lovely fair one contrived to elude their vigilance,
and on Saturday morning arrived at Nottingham, in a gig, along
with her intended spouse. The bans of marriage between the
parties had been regularly published in St. Nicholas's church,
stating them to be of that parish, and they had arrived within
the holy place, and with two of his relatives had surrounded
the sacred altar, when the sister of the young lady, having been
apprised by her brother, who had pnrsued the fugitives from
Mansfield, discovered the place of their intended union. On this
discovery, she hastened towards the residence of the Rev. Dr.
Wylde, Rector of St. Nicholas's, and met that respectable
Clergyman on his way to the Church, to tie the everlasting
knot. She briefly related to him the circumstances of the case,
and be directed her to follow him into the churchi where she
stood concealed for a time behind his ample priestly vest-
ments. The young couple were destined to have the cup of joy
dashed from their lips ; and it is impossible to - describe the
surprising dismay which filled their minds and strugh,,led in
their bosoms, when they. heard the venerable minister, instead
of commencing that service which they hoped would seal their
Union, begin a most severe lecture on the evil of their conduct,
and conclude by ordering the young man out of church, with a
threat, in case of non-compliance, of having him taken into
custody. The young lady was committed to the care of her
friends, who took her home almost in a state of insensibility,
and the disappointment was laid so much to heart, that it was
followed by violent hysterics, from which there was peat 'diffi-
culty in recovering her.
