Louis Philippe is said to have been much pleased,
and to have promised Mr. Catln TO bring the Queen
and all his family to see the collection Also His
majesty had previously done Mr. Catlin the honor
ct inviting him to breakfast at the chateau OF ST.
Cloud. Catlin is said to be anxious to persuade
Louis Philippe TO buy his collection OF paintings,
&c, Tor one OF the public. or his own private gale
rles; and as Louis PHILIPPE is most magnificent pa
ron OF art, II Is not improbable that he may. But
certainly the. collection would be Of greater value
and interest In museum of the United States than
here.

ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.-A young American
planter, named Da Costa, of immense fortune, re-
Gently came over to this country in search of wife,
and after visiting some Of the most fashionable
cities, and spending his money like a prince, -
without meeting the object OF his Search he paid a
visit 10 Birmingham, and was standing one day at
the door of the Hen and Chickens, when, as old
wives would say (and circumstances in this case
proved the truth Of the sayng, the very person he
came to England to look for walked across New
street, nearly opposite where he stood. Struck
with her appearance he followed the lady, and
with much politeness, expressed wish for better
acquaintance, and desire to see her home. The
young lady, Miss Rimmer,, of Alcester, was at
that time on a visit to Mr.. Heely's Bristol road TO
whose house the stranger accompanied her, but his
partner in the walk not much liking such a roman
TIC visitor, referred hum to her parents The travel
ler was not to be diverted from object in search
Of which he had travelled so far, and the little iowa
OF Alcester was shortly after well nigh frightened
from Its propriety by carriage ana four driving up
at full speed to the house Of MIR. Rimmer. Aft r
many wonderlngs among the inhabitants who IT
could be, it turned out that it was Mr. Da d ete,
come to request OF the parents permission to pay
his addresses to their daughter. Advice was asked
OF those with whom they usually advised, and con
dence OF the strength Of his attachment that he was
not long IN finding his way to the heart of Miss
Rimmer; and though many tales were afloat Of
what the modern "Bue Beard" would do, he mar
rled her at Alcester Church on Saturday week,
three carriages and four conveying the parties who
graced the nuptial ceremony with their presence.
The people whose daughter has thus become wife,
are worthy people, In moderate circumstances; tie
lady possesses good sense as we'll as personal al
fractions, and the stranger has shown himself by
municent presents, to be really what he passes for
man OF vast wealth, and gentleman. We under
derstand that the eldest brother of Miss Rimmer is
to accompany her to her new residence across TIE
Atlantic, when his fortune as well hers, will be
made Birmingham eng advertiser.
The FAMOUS ELorEMENT OF LADY ADELA W.
LIERs.-We have 1t in our power to announce that
all the mystery appertaining to the disappearance
of Lady Adela Villiers, the youngest daughter of
the Earl and Countess of Jersey is now cleared up
the information regarding the fair fugitive having
been brought to town by the Hon. Captain Frede
noon.
The plans of the " r,lnaways" were so well ar
ranged that, thanks to the railway, to overtake
them was an mpossibility. It seems that, unknown
to the Earl Of Jerseys family, clandestine COM
munication has been maintained for some months
past by the youthful lady and her gallant admirer,
but so secretly that not the slightest suspicion
excited even among the closest attendants of her
ladyship. strict investigation was, on the return
OF the Countess of Jersey from Arundel Castle, in
stituted, the head of the police at Brighton being
present.; and although not the least clue to be
obtained from the governess OF the young lady, the
lady's maid, who invariably accompanied her lady
ship IN her promenades, said that tall fair gentle
man, of military bearing, had occasionally, te all
appearances accidentally, met Lady Adela, when,
they c0nversed In French, she could not comprc-
hend the substance of their discourse.
II has subsequently transplred that shortly after
five o'clock on Wednesday evening, as Lady Adea
left the lodge gates, public hy was IN readiness, hy
which her Ladyship, in company with gentleman,
was conveyed to the railway terminus, and proceeo-
ed TO town by the half past five o'clock train for
London. On their arrival in the metropolis they
must have gone direct TO the birmingham railway
at Euston square, and left by the mail train for New
castle, route to Carlisle, their way to Gretna
green; so that when it was discovered at East
Lodge, Brighton, that Lady Adea had so unaccoun-
taby disappeared, the lovers were on their road 10
Scotland Ii was also ascertained that her Lady
ship remained in the fly at the station till the bell
rang for the train to start The Hon. Captain Free
derrick Viers having heard on Thursday morning,
OF the absence OF his sister, Immediately started by
express to Grefna, 1t having been only surmsed that
Lady Adela had eoped. On his arrival at Carlisle
he there gained the information that young lady,
and a gentleman, had passed through that place
On his arrival at Gretnagreen, or more properly
Gralteney, the rendezvous of fugitive lovers, the
afternoon, at.four o'clock marriage was soiemni2
ed and lawfully concluded between Captain Charles
Park 1bbetson and Lady Adela Coriander Marie
Viiers. Thus. within twenty-three hours after
was performed.
II was understood that after the performance Of
