We are assured that there is no truth in the paragraph
going the round of the newspaper press, that the Archimedes,
" during her recent voyage off the cost of Holland, struck on
a shoal of rocks." The statement is pure fiction.
Ma. JOAEPH STURC;E Aca.ilc.—On Tuesday last the
overseers distrained upon Mr. Joseph Sturge for £22 12s.
The officers seized 60 bushels of malt, upon which Mr.
Sturge replevied, and the case consequently will not be de-
cided until the next spring assizes, if then.—Birmingham
Advertiser.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION, GLASGOW.—The general com-
mittee assembled on 'Wednesday, at one o'clock, in the
Faculty Hall, Glasgow College, and the chair was taken by
the Marquis of Breadalbane, president elect. The attend-
ance was less numerous than is usual on these occasions, and
many who have hitherto taken an active part in the govern-
ment of the society were absent. The council table was
very partially filled. In addition to the officers of the society,
there were only the Marquis of Northampton, Sir J. Robison,
Professors Whewell, Stevelly, and Forbes, Captain Sabine,
and one or two others. The report of the council was read
by Mr. Yates. The subsequent proceedings of the associa-
tion seem not to possess much general interest.
ELOPEMENT.—The usual quietness enjoyed by the parish
of Lindfield has been disturbed for the last few days by the
unusual circumstance of an elopement. The fair fugitive is
a young lady named Ellcoat, whose parents reside in Lon-
don, and who had been placed for her health as a parlour-
boarder with Miss Baker, the head of a ladies' establishment.
Early in the morning of Wednesday week, it was discovered
that Miss El!coat had quitted the house, in company with a
female servant in Miss Baker's service. They proceeded in
a fly, which was awaiting them, to the Blue Anchor, where it
is supposed they met the gentleman, the captain of a trading
vessel, and proceeded in the East Grimstead-coach. No
tidings have since been heard of them. The intelligence was
immediately communicated to the lady's parents, whose &s-
-tress may be imagined. What makes the case the more dis-
tressing is the fact that the young lady was deformed, and
doubtless the chief object of the seducer is the fortune (about
£1,500) to which she will be entitled on becoming of age, in
November next. The servant who accompanied her took
away several articles of dress belonging to Miss Baker, and
also the gold ring of a young lady of the establishment. It
is but justice to add, that not the least blame attaches to the
lady with whom the imprudent runaway was placed.—Brigh-
ton Herald.

EXTRAORDINARY ELOPEMEVT.—A few days ago, the
daughter of a respectable -farmer in East-Lothian was in-
duced by one of her father's shearers, a disreputable charac-
ter, who has been already twice convicted of theft, to elope
with him. Before leaving the house. he broke open a strong
chest belonging to her father, in which was contained bank
receipts to the amount of £234, and cash to the amount of
£l2. Information having been given to the East-Lothian
police, Mr. List, the active superintendent in that county,
and brother to the respected superintendent in Mid-Lothian
made immediate inquiry, and in the course of a few ho.
succeeded in discovering the fellow and unhappy
a low lodging-house in the Nungate, Haddington, where tht
had just arrived. The money was recovered, with the ex•
ception of about twenty shillings, with which the male pri-
soner had purchased a second-hand suit of clothes ; and next
day the bank receipts were found in a field near the scene of
the, elopement. Both parties have been committed for trial
—Scottish Standard.

DISASTER ON DISASTER.—On Wednesday morning, the
9th instant, the Countess of Lonsdale, steam-ship, left 1-lam-
burgh tbr London, with passengers and the mail ; and when
about 120 miles from the port whence she sailed, she fell in
with the Caledonia, another large steam-ship, which had
broken the main shaft of her engine, and was unable to pro-
ceed on her voyage from London to Hamburg. The Coun-
tess immediately took the Caledonia in tow. with the inten-
tion of proceeding with her to Hamburg, but had not gone
far before some accident happened to her own machinery,
and she was unable to proceed. The Severn steamer, bonne!
from Hamburg to Hull, subsequently fell in with the Coun-
tess of Lonsdale and the Caledonia, and took out their pas-
sengers and the mail-bags. The Countess and the Caledonia
put into Cuxhaven,' arid afterwards proceeded to Hamburg,
where they now remain. The Neptune, steam-ship, left
Hamburg on Saturday, and on the following morning, at
nine, shafell in with the Severn, in a state of distress, hav-
ing met with damage during the gale. The Neptune went to
the assistance or the Severn, and, after taking out her pas-
seyers and those of the Countess of Lonsdale and the Cale-
donia, proceeded to London, where she arrived on Sunday
morning week, after a very boisterous passage.
