HEAD POLICE-OFFICE, DUELIN.

EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR...-FURTUER PARTICULARg.
Respecting this extremely singular transaction,
of the principal facts connected with which we
have already laid a tolerably full report before
our readers, the following further particulars Lave

since occurred :
On Saturday evening, we understanJ that Mrs.
Richards, of Elm-Vale, Black Rock, the mo-ther of
:he fair bride on this occasion, attended at the head
police office, and entered into securities for her ,ap-,
pearance at the ensuing commission, on a charge of
being a party to the conspiracy, charged by Mr.
Grady as having been used in this case to,pro-
cure the marriage •of his son with Miss Richards.
Elizabeth Cavanagh, the servant maid of Mrs.
Richards, who had remained in custody at the
police-office, until bail should be procured for
her appearance at the commission, on a similar
charge, also entered into recognizances on the
same occasion, and was of course liberated. The
gardener, Lynch, and his wife, will be brought
up to-day for the same purpose ; bail had been
forthcoming on their behalf on Saturday, but at
too late an hour to be accepted at that time. For
the other prisoner, Johnson, we have not heard
that any bail has been yet tendered.

ANOTHER MATRIMONIAL AFFAIR.—The
following, as far as• we have been yet able to as-
certain, are, we understand, the principal details
connected with this matrimonial exploit, as al-
luded to in a paragraph in our paper of Sa-

turday :
A substantial farmer, of the name of Patrick
Fitzgerald, residing in the county of Kildare, at
a place called Ballyshannon, in the neighbour-
hood of the Curragh, on his return from divine
service on Sunday, the 10th instant, found that
during his absence, a strong box, in which was
deposited his cash, had, despite he resistance of
no less than three stout locks by which it was
guarded, been broken open and rifled of its con-
tents, amounting to nearly 5001., principally in
bank-notes and post-bills: The discovery of
the authors of the felony did not long remain a
matter of suspense. A young woman his niece,
also of the name of Fitzgerald, whom he had
brought up from infancy, and who had acted in
the capacity of-housekeeper to her uncle, and had
alone such access as would enable his wealth to
inv\st,aas found

implication in the transaction and her object, it

being discovered that she had taken, as the com-
panion of her flight, a serving man named
Michael Conlan, in the employment of her
uncle. The latter lost no time in commencing

a pursuit after the parties, proceeding to town
for that purpose, where, after procuring the as-
sitance of the police authorities, and prosecuting
for some time a fruitless search after the fugi-
tives, he among other places of the kind, went to
Howth, to ascertain whether they might not have
left the country in some vessel from thauport.
Here he received information, from the serjeant.
of police stationed there, that a couple, such as
he described, had sailed some days before for
Liverpool, whither it was settled that the per-
son who had given this information should
follow them. He did so, accompanied by a
young man, a relation of Fitzgerald's, and, in less
n,
being
e

than an hour after his arrival- there, was so for-
tunate as to succeed in apprehending them ; not,
however, until they had completed one great

rivetted in the bands of matrimony, at the church
of
performed by a Protestant Clergyman of the
place, the contracting parties being both Ca-
tholics. The policeman also succeeded in gain-
ing a point, perhaps of equal interest to his em-
ployer as the apprehension of the bride and
bridegroom, namely, the recovery of a eaird
party involved in the abduction, in the shape of
the sash ; as, on his taking the foimer into cus-
tody, he proceeded to search their persons,
when he found on that of Conlan a docket for
nearly 4001. of the money, which latter he had
deposited for a temporary space until he should
depart for America, at a banking establishment,
where he had exchanged for coin of that country
the money brought from Ireland. The docket
being returned at the office where the exchange
had been effected, and 'the circumstances ex-
plained, the money w restored, and placed in
the hands of the constable. The mis-fortunate
lovers were then compelled to limit their trip to
as
a much shorter voyage than that which they had
anticipated at the commencement of their tour,
and again revisit their native shores, not, we

once more restored to
their anxious friendB and
country. An uncle to
the bridegroom, of the name of Michael Kelly,
is also in custody, in consequence of certain do-
cuments or letters found on him sufficient to
warrant his detention
as a party in the transac-
tion. They have been all committed to New-
gate for further examination, where the happy
couple are likely to find accommodation for at
least the honey-moon.—Dublin Morning Post.
