An English Boker-Dean Affair.

A most romantic elopement has Just
occurred in London, England which has
severely shocked the propriety of the
upper Ten," and created general
"nine days wonder" on account of the
different positions which the respective
parties to the affair held in society. 1t
appears that young lady named
Crosse, aged about twenty years, formed
an attachment to her fathers groom-a
lad two years her junior, named George
Smith. George had been in the family
about two years, during which time he
nsed to escort the young lady during
her equestrian exercises. In this way
an intimacy sprung UP between then
which the fo+Ll, 81. 1nsIiv hacama aware
Of and thereupon determined to dis
charge George at once. The young lady
heard Of her fathers intentions, and on
the day the boy was to leave she man
aged to see him, and told him she would
come to her window at night, as she
wanted to escape with him. The groom
advised her not to pursue this course,
but she ;ersisted, and accordingly the
reluctant boy went to the "' I'm al
the time Indicated when the young lady
dropped from her bower into the arms
of the object Of her passion. The next
question was how to get married The
lady had considerable sum Of money
in her possession, which she placed in
the hands Of her lover, and the pair
started off they knew not whittier, They
however made tracks for Wansworth,
where they hired apartments, and the
next day appeared before magistrate
for the purpose of being matrimOnially
united. The magistrate refused to mar
ry them on the ground that the young
lady was under charge, The couple
therefore returned disconsolate to their
apartments, and lived together for two
days, when the police, who had been
notified by the father to hunt up the run
aways, came upon them and arrested
the groom upon charge Of fraudulently
inducing the young lady to leave her
home, knowing that she had money in
her possession belonging to Mr.. Crosse,
The case afterwards came up for eX-
animation before a police magistrate
when the facts were made apparent

THE MUsTER.-The weather yesterday
was cool, cloudy, and ut times Il little
wet, 1t was very good for marching,
but not so comfortable for standing still.
In the afternoon there was a much larger
number of spectators present than had
been before. Good order prevailed eve
rywheTe.
A considerable portion of the forenoon
was occupied with battalion drill. 1t
was announced in yesterday mornings
HERALD, on good authority, that Major
General Ripley would review the regi-
ment in the afternoon, and that the bat
terry would be on the ground at that
time TO fire 4 salute. For some reason,
which we have not yet learned, neither
of these events transpired. Alittle after
three O'Clock, however Bngadier Gen
eral T. o. Seaver and staff, consisting of
Major f. j. Ormsby, Capt. P. R. Downer
and Capt. c. II. Ripley rode upon the
field.
The regiment marched by them twice
in review, after which the General and
staff dismounted and passed through the
ranks on foot They expressed them
selves highly pleased with the appear
ance and the performances of the sol
diers.
Previous to the review Col, Kingsley
put the regiment through variety of
exercises and evolutiOns, all of which,
50 far as we could see, we've executed in
excellent style. We also heard those
who had seen 4 great amount OF actual
service express themselves in terms Of
unqualified appreciation. 1t is true we
heard elderly persons express disappoint-
ment at the performances, as compared
with what they Were accustomed to
witness in old fashioned muStcrS. We
can only say that we have distinct
recollection Of some Of those old mus
tiers, and we are very certain that no
such prompt and thorough drill was ever
seen on those occasions. Indeed 1t
would be one of the strangest things
imaginable if with so large number Of
experienced officers as we now have in
the country the men did not make a
better appearance than they did in for
mer times.
Directly after the review the soldiers
were marched by companies to their
tents, and thus closed in effect the eX-
ercises of the muster. The regiment
"broke camp" little before dark three
or four companies that were unable to
90 home till the next day remained in
their tents over night. The others re-
moved their tents from the ground.
In the evening there was a grand mil
itary and civic ball at the Franklin
House, at which were gathered the
beauty and the chivalry" of Rutland
and vicinity.

CoNNECTIcUT.-The result Of the vote
in Connecticut on the proposed amend
ment of her Constitution granting the
right of suffrage to the blacks, shows
the mischievous influence of over conf
dence. Too many of the Republicans
regarded the success Of the amendment
as certain; there was but little activity
in the canvass on their part; the Dem
ocrats were out in full force against it,
and the consequence is a majority sup
posed to be from 5000 to 5000 against
the amendment.
The result is of comparatively little
practical Importance so far as Connect
cut alone is concerned, as she has but
few negroes to be affected by the vote,
but its influence upon the suffrage ques-
lion in the reconstruction of the South
it is feared, will be unfavorable.

TUE puB1rc Enr.~-Thle official state
ment of the public debt, made Sept. both,
shows the gratifying fact that in the last
month the debt has been decreased sew
eral millions of dollars. We are now on
the right track, and it is to be hoped
that we may continue thereon, decreas-
ing the debt more and more rapidly as
we progress.
The exact amount of the reduction, as
shown by a comparison Of the last state
ment with that of August, is So, 742, OPS,
with reduction in the interest OF S492,
4O4. There is also reduction Of 81 900,
900 in the legal tender notes in circula-
ton and the one and two year FIVE per
cent. treasury notes, The amount OF
coin in the treasury is S32, TAO 1888, de-
crease Of $1,270,000 during the month,
which is accounted for by the payment
in advance of the November interest on
the five-twenty bonds. The amount OF
currency in the treasury is $56, 256, 44l
An increase Of $13,454, 157 since August
The fractional currency has increased
$4,000 during the month, and now
amounts to 500 ,4S7,754. There has been
an increase of S8,211,oO0 in the five,
twenty bonds of June 30, 1854, an in
crease of nearly $4,000, 900 in the tempo
rary six per cent loan Of July II, 1862
and reduction OF over S22OO0,OO0 il
certificates Of Indebtedness issued Marcel
/, 1862.

VQuite a sensation was produced in
St. Marks Episcopal Church, in Phila-
delphia, on Sunday, by the appearance
of Rev. DR.. Wilmer in the church DR..
Wilmer was the pastor of the church
before the war broke out, and his "se-
cesh" proclivities induced him to leave
and go South with a large amount OF
baegage which was detained at Fortress
Monroe by the government. The doctor
appeared in the chancel to assist in
celebrating the Holy Communion ser
vice, and this was the signal for large
portion of the congregation TO leave
the church in disgust.
