ELOPERMENT.-A feW nights since, the daughter of a wealthy seedsmaR in the neighbotsrhood of Finsbury-squnre went out to spend the evening at-a neighbour's, but ziot returning atlhe txpected tihe, a servant was sent after her, who ascertainied that she had left her triend's horne, some time before, in the company of a young genitleman. His person being minutely described, the ser- vant retutned to his nmaster with the intelligeence, who guessed at once, from the description he received, who was the person that had stolen his daughter. Arming hiniselr with a full portion of parental anger, he repaired to the house ~of the suspected man, where, sure enough, he found lils smiling truant enjoying a hearty supper with her gtllant. Rnemonstratmees were had recourse to, andt sevorer nica. sures were about to be adoptted by the angry father, but a qzieis was soon served upon him by the production of a mar:iage r.gister, by which it appeared that the parties had been united near five tnonths.-Suftday paper. A BANK ER'S DirN1iry.-Tho following anecdote is re- lated of a banking-house which lately stopped paymennt. Wegive it as a current Wry :-About 12 or T8 months ago, a noble Lord, who banked with tne house, called upon Alr. -, and asked, was it truc that he had lately sunk 80,0001. in a certain purchase ? and being answered in the affirmatiye, asked turther, did Air. - think such a dimlnution of his capital either prudent or expedient? The banker said he would do hinmsel tho honour to reply by letter, and did accordingly address the noble Lord in these terms:-" Aly Lord,_I have the honeur to enclose a check for 1,5001., being the amount to your Lordship's credit in our books, and with which we mean to close your Lordship's account. At the sanie time, I take leave to add, that two vailors bank with us, the balance of each of whom, every day in the year, exceeds not only your Lordslhip's, hut tbat of every member of your Lordship's family." Ifis Lordship miust have been extremely mortified by receipt of ihis laconic e istle, and mlust have felt exceedingly envious of the two tailors alluded to, whose balances when the bankers stopped payment. are stated to haye been 1,001. and 6,0001. respectively-Sandaypaper.
