The subjoined is from the Correspondent just
quoted. We have read the passage with deep re-
gret :

which has not yet found its way into the London
Prints, but which is, unfortunately, too true. The
Duchess of Ll has eloped from her husband and
childrep with a silly young Nobleman, Lard E—l!:
This has caused a great sensation here."
