 A RJNAWAY COUPLE-On "Wednesday evening about l o'clock, young man was stopped in the street by one ofthe watchmen under the iol- lowing singular circumstances. The watch had ob- served him running up and down the street, for near- ly an hour in the greatest agitation, examining eve " door, as if endeavoring 10 find an eE.rance and although he was well dressed he at last accosted him, and inquired the reason of his curious behavior train of curious circumstances was uniolded by this inquiry such as seldom occur in the annals ol the police office. It appeared that the young man, who gave his name Warren, was native of Montgomery county, somewhere in the nelghbor- hood of Posgrove, and that he had comet the elty the previous morning. bringing with him young ie- male, to whom he was to have been married at eirht o'clock this evening. The match was to be one ofthose deli ghtfu little affairs, called runa- ways" and so far seemed to have been attended with full share of the difficulties which give so charming zest to stolen bridals and furnish food for the gossips to dwell upon.

By dint ofgreat labor and veSation, they succeeded in finding the esidence ofa friend ofthe bride where, according to previous agreement, they were both to put up till the next evening, when they were to wait upon his honor the Mayor, by whom the happy knot was to be tied. It happened unfor- tunately that his friends house was filled by other country "cousns," who had arrived only the day be- fore. He was accordingly shown to respectable tavern few squares off, in which he thought it pru dent to conceal himself fearful ofa surprise from the lady, nor did he once venture forth to visit his below ed during the whole ofthis agonizng interval ofsus pense. The happy hour at length arrvedi and, he saIed forth to join his fair one dressed in the treme of fashion bht to his utter consernation he was unable to find the house in which she lodged!
 From the hour of seven he had been unceasngIy occupied in searching every street, in hopes of find ing the place, and as he did not even know, or had forgotten the name of bis fair ones friend, his task may be readily imagined to have been hopeless one. He wandered up and down tie streets, half frantic with vexaon and confusion, until his unusu- ally close inspection of the houses excited suspicion as to the honesty of his intentions When accosted by the watchman, he covered with perspira- ton, and seemed ready to sink down from mere ex- haustion the effect of four hours constant excitement After relating to the officer these particulars, he conducted to the tavern, whence he lad sallied out in the early part of the evening, aud there learned from the landlord that several unknown persons had been there making the most eager inquiries after him. stating that one had left message that Miss -" (his iniended) was sick with apprehension at his mysterious absence. As none of them had left their names, poor Warrens inquiries to where they resided, productive of no good, and in state of extreme vexatlon and alarn he was fain eb liged to go to a solitary bed there to dream away the troubles which an unpardonable stupidity had brought upon him and his intended. So late as Thursday night last he had not been able to find her. and the chances of their meeting, not very promising. This case shows in a striking point of view, the necessity of strangers in large city being particular aud nuIiuers. ana iti iove sick swans the folly of bringing tn cir sweethears to Philadelphia to be married by his honor the Mayor when travelling Justice of the Peace is quite equal 10 the job, and can be found in any public road in Pennsylvania. so abundant have they grown of late

 The following remarks upon the recent conven- ton at Pilade phia and New York, are from ali an ti-tariff paper the New York Amcr,can:
 The results of the recent Frce-trade and Tariff Conyenons-however differing in their objects and conclusIons-cannot fail to produce much good On the one hand, we shall the theories of free trade 50 consonant as ii seems to us with all our free ns- unions, enforced and applied, by common hand to the stuailon resources and wants of the United States on the other, we shall have an immense and as we are disposed to think, an invaluable mass of facts, gathered from thousand different sources showing the operations ofthe Tariff system-digest- ed and duly arranged by able committee and spread before the nation with all the aids of elo- quence and sincere conviction Such papers, or ra- ther voumes-forthey will amount 10 that-as will thus be produced, cannot he without influence upon the decision which ere long must be made, to how long and to what extent, the principle of protecting domestic manufactures shall be portion of the set tied policy of the country. Congress will be called to determine, before many years, whether for the sake of home industry, It will be ndispensably ne- cessary to raise revenue far beyond the wants of the government-to become source of perpetual overcoming, corrupt squables as to its dstribu tlon or whether some middle ground may not be found which, in apporoning the duties so as to sat isy the demands of tile treasury, will have the ef feet both of fulfilling the just claims of the manuac turers and of aeviatng the burthens of the consum CTS A compromise is all that be hoped and that compromise may be greatly facilitated (certain- ly its expedieacy or inexpedency will be shown) by tbe facts and details which these conventions will collect and make public. We may hope too that the feelings which prevailed in the Assembly in this city will extend themselves throughout the country and that when the Tariff is discussed, it will be treated of without harshness or acrimony between those who differ in opinion This was, to q remark able degree exempliiied inthe conduct and language and in the address of the Tariff Convention Their own views were asserted and maintained but the right of others to differ from them--a right which theoretically, none deny, and few very few, dis pntants practically admt-whout having their mo.
