THE LATE ELOPEMENT.

HEAD OFFICE.—The investigation of this
case still continues to be conducted with the ut-
most privacy. Closed doors, sealed lips, know-
ing winks, and half-whispers, are the only
rewards we have got at the seat of inquiry for
our exertions in the cause of curiosity. To
mention the case is quite sufficient to send the
peace-officers, like scared rabbits, into their
hiding holes, and hydrophobia itself does not ap-
pear to have half the horrors for the other opera-
tives in the metropolitan bureau, that a question
from a Reporter is capable of inspiring.
We are however, informed, in another quarter,
that some letters of a very singular tendency
have been discovered, which, when the trial
takes place, will throw an extraordinary light
upon this curious affair. We give it the latter
term, from our knowledge that it varies in some
particular features from the general run of elope-
ments, in which love on both sides, and the mere
effervescence of youthful affection, are the leading
characteristics.

The parties were not arrested at the same
place or period, the bridegroom being absent
when Mr. Gilloughly made his appearance. lie,
however, came forward shortly afterwards, after
some search on the part of the latter ; he submit-
ted quietly and even cheerfully to his authority.
It was supposed that Mr. Grady, sen., would
have accompanied the officer in his pursuit of the
fugitives, and 'we believe that the young man
himself anticipated, on hearing that a warrant
had arrived, that he should have to appear in his
presence. It is more than likely, therefore, that
the alacrity with which he surrendered himself,
may be attributed to his delight at finding that he
had not, as yet, to meet the angry eye of an irri-
tated parent.
The parties on their journey homewards did
not appear disposed by, any unnecessary expen-
diture of money, on their parts, to augment the
profits of the various innkeepers in whose houses
they sojourned. The bridegroom enjoyed a to-
lerable appetite, and dealt with a master-hand in
the good cheer which the country afforded.—
The bride, however, at meal-time, became pen-
sive and lonely ; a diluted glass of wine formed
the extent of her refreshment ; and, from all we
have learned, a wing of a lark, and a peeled
raisin, would have been monstrously gross com-
pared with her selection from the varieties of the
larder. Gretna and " Merry Carlisle" in vain
spread their delicacies before her ; the enjoy-
ment of the present, and her prospect of future
happiness, appeared to supersede all grosser
notions, and proved, as a certain doggrel poet
has it, that—

Love takes away the love for flesh and bone,

And leaves the stomach full of him alone.

Tho mother of the lady is, as we formerly
stated, allied to a respectable family in the county
of Wicklow. Her father is a gentleman of pro-
perty, residing near Tempo, in the county of
Fermanagh. She has one brother somewhat
younger than herself, and a sister respectably
married, who is at present in France.

The mother has been held to bail to abide her
trial upon the charge of conspiracy. Elizabeth
Cavanagh, the servant-maid, was admitted to
bail on Saturday last, herself in 401., and two
sureties in 201. each. The two Lynches were
brought up on Monday, to enter into similar
recognizances. Johnson, the sixth party, has
not as yet offered security—and, indeed, from
the carelessness of his disposition, it is pretty
likely that he is perfectly well contented, under
the guardianship of Mr. Dunn, of Kilmainham.
The juvenile bridegroom is, we believe, com-
mitted to the care of his family ; but we are in-
formed that his motions are watched by a police-
officer, who follows him like his shadow. Where
the bride is we have not learned, but we sup-
pose she has returned to her relatives.---Dublin
Evening Post.

FlRE.—Yesterday morning, between one and
two o'clock, an alarming fire broke in the house
of Mr. Moore, chandler, 14, Church-street,
Hackney, which raged with considerable fury,
and in a short time entirely consumed the whole
house. By the prompt arrival of the .London
Assurance engine, the flames were kept from ex-
tending their ravages.
The town of Woodbridge, in Suffolk, was on
Saturday the 18th inst. visited with one of the
most tremendous showers ever seen in that dis-
trict ; it seemed as if the very cataracts of heaven
were unbound, and a second deluge about to de-
solate the face of nature. The cloud from which
the truly wondrous and devastating volume of
water fell, appears to have been of vast compass
and extent, since the diameter of country which
felt its influence could not be less than 18 or 20
miles, although its fury for the most part seems
to have been discharged over the above mention-
ed place. The storm contined from half-past
eleven a. m. till three p. m., during which there
can be no exaggeration in saying that more than a
thousand pounds' worth of property was destroyed
in Woodbridge.—Lincoln Mercury.
A beautiful fossil of the Sea Turtle has re-
cently been discovered, and by the perfect sub-
stitution or. all the organic parts, as well as its
locality, may be considered an interesting re-
main of a former world. It is incrusted in al
mass of ferruginous limestone, and weighs 180
pounds. The spot on which it was found is in
four fathom water, and is formed of an extensive
stratum of these stones, called the Stone Ridge,
about four miles off Harwich harbour, and is
considered to be the line of conjunction between
the opposite cliffs of Walton and Harwich. The
collection of them gives employment to nume-
rous small vessels for the purpose of forming the
Roman cement, and through these means was
brought to light this magnificent specimen,
which is at present in possession of Mr. Deck,
of this
place. It is understood to have been
purchased by a gentleman of the University, as a
donation to the Norwich museum, which is ra-
pidly rising to eminence in the scientific world.

The friction carriage, invented by our towns-
man, Mr. Brandreth, (of whose performance a
description was given some time ago), still main-
tains its character as the fleetest runner on the
Darlington
rail-way. It is a great favourite
with the work-people, who say it moves so
sweetly,differently from
any steals away quite rom
any thing else they have upon the road. It has
now been in constant work for a-year, carrying
nearly double the weight of any other waggon,
and while the other axles are cutting through,
requiring to be oiled at great expence and trouble
every five miles, it shows no symptom of wear,
and carries its oil quite fresh. It has met with
no accident, and appears very strong and durable,
thus removing the only doubt that could be en-
tertained of its superiority. The coupling is ra-
ther too long, a fault which can easily be reme-
died. The inventor feels confident that it may
be made a cheaper as well as a better carriage.—
Liverpool Courier.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.-AUQ. 30.

The attendance at the betting room to-day was both
respectable and numerous, still, however, little was done
till towards the close. The outsiders of the St. Leger
are still upon the shift. Lumley's Tramp colt, and
Pelican, hare almost retired iato oblivion. Not a
backer could be found at 100 to 1. Sancho has wriggled
up, and got before Nonplus, at 13 to 1, and ether small
changes have taken place among the little ones. Among
the novelties of the day was a bet asked for on the double
event of Mameluke winning the St. Leger, and Mr. Peel
being at the head of the Administration within a year.
Only 10 to 1 was asked, although a wag observed that
Mr. Peel was a confirmed outsider. No other bets were
offered on the race of statesmen, but the following are the
correct odds at the close of the day

300 to 105 agst Marneluke
9 to 2 agst Granby
13 to 1 agst Sanoh•

DEAL AND DOWNS REGATTA.

This being the last of the Aquatic Sports for the season,
began yesterday, and may be considered as the rival of the
first in the kingdom. The first race was won by the Fawn,
a2B ft. 4-oared galley; Mary came in second ; Geloni,
third ; and Try-for-it, fourth. The second race was be-
tween six 33 ft. 6-oared gallies, and was won by Poll,
beating Tramp, Ann, Polyanthus, Po, and Salacia. The
last was between six 32 ft. 6-oared gallies, and was won by
Gipsey, beating the Fortune-teller, Gipsey Girl, Atalantia,
and the Harlequin ; the Po met with an accident. The
weather was remarkably propitious, and about three o'clock
Lord Yarborough, in his yacht Falcon, Sir W. Curtis's
Emma, with eleven other yachts, arrived in the Downs.

EDINBURGH SCHOOL OF ARTS.—A meet-
ing was held on Friday of the subscribers to this Ipstitution,
in the Waterloo Rooms, when Dr. William Thompson
moved, " That Professor Pillans and Deacon-Convener
Sawers be elected Directors in the room of Professor
Leslie and Mr. Ruthven, who go out of office by rotation.'
SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE.--A new his-
torical romance, entitled " Paul Jones," was last night
produced at this pleasant little Theatre. It is founded on
Cunningham's well known novel of that name, and was re-
ceived throughout with applause.
SURREY THEATRE.—A new piece, called
" The March of Intellect, or Family Masquerading,"
has been produced at this Theatre, for the purpose of
exhibiting the extraordinary talents of the infant Burke,
in six characters. The little fellow went through his ar-
duous task in a manner which astonished and delighted a
closely packed assemblage, and his own announcement of a
repetition of the piece was hailed with enthusiasm.
PARIS, AUG. 25.—The English Theatrical
performances commence on the 3d of September, not with
Mr. Kean and Miss Foat (as the Constitutionnel calls that
" dramatic artist"), but with Mr. Abbott and Miss Smith-
son, in Romeo and Juliet,—an arrangement of very ques-
tionable policy, particularly as the French are excited to
high expectations of English acting, and may be inclined,
if disappointed the first night, to underrate and neglect
the thing altogether. A comedy would tell better at
the opening, in the absence of first-rate tragedy
talent. Power plays Mercutio. Power is a clever fel-
low, and a capital Irishman, but then 2Wercuiio was not
an Irishman, though it is feared Power will make a com-
patriot of him the opening night. Poor Mercutio may
look on himself as a very lucky fellow if he escapes
being murdered between Power and Tybalt. The corps
dramatique assemble at their house, the Italian Opera, on
Tuesday next. Their Directeur, Mr. Abbott, has ,
already arrived. Liston, too, is here, gandering about
the Boulevards, with his combination of coulitenanees
bottled up in sober severity of muscle, as grave as if
looking as if he was going to play Romeo again. They
to face a French audience, but lie gives the idea
no :'an had
ot u him
never set his thousands in a roar—as tragedy-
looking
Kean has also been solicited to play
here, but be wants 601. a night, and they would give him
no more than 40L ; but they entertained some hopes of
having him yet, as negotiations are still pending between
the high contracting parties.",
