THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL.—The Noble
Earl, whose health had been in a very satisfactory state for
some time past, has experienced another serious attack of
iilness.—Since his Lordship had arrived at Coombe-wood
his strength had greatly increased. He was in the habit
of taking frequent airings in the neighbourhood in his car-
t iage, and was also allowed to walk in the pleasure-grOunds
in the front of the mansion. Dr. DRXVER, who had
been in the constant practice of visiting his Noble Patient
two or three times a week, left his Lordship on Saturday
morning about 11 o'clock, when the Noble Earl was in
his usual state of health.

About half-past one o'clock, while the Noble Earl was
sitting in his library, with the Countess of LxvsarooL, he
was seized with cramp in his hands, accompanied by con-
vulsions. The Countess immediately gave the alarm, and
two expresses were sent off, one for Mr. SANDFORD, his
Lordship's apothecary, who resides at Wimbledon, and the
other for D. DREYER, who had come to town. Mr.
SANDFORD arrived in about a quarter of an hour's time at
his Lordship s residence, and instantly bled his Lordship,
and took about fourteen ounces of blood from him. Dr.
DREYER, on his arrival, bled his Lordship a socond time,
and afterwards directed Mr. MArtxsoN, the KING'S
supper, who had arrived from London, to cup his Lord-
ship : near sixty ounces of blood were thus taken from the
Noble Earl in the course of Saturday. About half-past
five o'clock the alarming symptoms were completely reduced.
The Bulletin issued by Dr. DREYER yesterday was as
favourable as could be expected, viz..—

"Do you, SHERIDAN, know what is become of my

" What ?—speak !" " I saw her go off, a few minutes
ago, between two Pole-ish gentlemen," After a moment's
hesitation, she understood the joke.--she had just been put
into a sedan chair, and was on her way home.
elope-
ment took place tom a public establishment in this city
E o PEMENT.---It Is rumoured that an
(York), by as the affair is enveloped in considerable mys-
tery to shall not at present attempt to give to the parties
either " a local habitation or a name." We may, however,
be expected to state, that the enamoured adventurer and
the fair fugitive were neither of them natives of the city,
though both, we believe, were above the middle class of
society. The facts, as detailed to us, were briefly these :
The lover had heard at his far-distant home, that the object
of his most tender affections had been sent to York, with a
view of taking up there a LONG residence. He hastened
to Old Ebor, and having *engaged lodgings there for a short
time, ingeniously contrived to commence a secret cor-
respondence with the lady, which ultimately ended in an
elopement. The star of the morning beamed brightly upon
the turrets of the mansion in which the fair one resided,
and as the clock struck two, the hero of our story stepped
out of a post-chaise, near the outer wall of the residence :
he threw a scaling-ladder over it, and the lady, faithful as
they always are to their engagements, with trembling steps
ascended. All was silent—all was well, till, in her descent,
her fears for safety overpowered her judgment, and she
uttered a dreadful shriek, which alarmed the house, and
might have proved fatal to the enterprise. It was the mo-
ment of danger—it was the season for determination.
Her lover seized her in his arms; placed her in the carriage,
and, stepping in after her, immediately dosed the door, and
they were soon beyond the reach of pursuit. There we
shall leave them, for though it is supposed that they are on
the Continent, no tidings have since been heard of the
loving fugitlyesm. York Herald.
