The Sun. — 1842-09-28 (London, England)

ELOPEMENT.—On Sunday morning, long before the chime of the church bells, a handsome well-appointed Brougham, driven by a smart young " tiger," in blue livery, was observed to draw up in Belgrave-square. After some tine a young lady, accompanied by her maid, hastily entered the 'carriage, which was immediately driven off at a rapid pace to the parish church of St. George, Hanover-square, where the lady was met by a dashing and very handsome swain, who, having all prepared for the ceremony, led the blushing bride to the altar, when the happy pair were united by the " silver link and silken tie' of Hymen's bonds. The lady, who is possessed of no small personal attractions, is an heiress in her own right, and the only child of a Reverend Divine in Northamptonshire, related to, and bearing the name of an eccentric and most distinguished member of the bar, who once held a high office under the Wellington Administration. The gentleman is well known in the valley of the " Whispering Wye," and made his political debut at the last Herefordshire election. Bills have been issued in Southampton, offering a reward of 100/. for whoever will give information that shill lead to the conviction of the person who shot at Peirce in the Houndwell in Southampton, and who was recognised as one of the party engaged in a Chartist plot to murder the Queen. Fifty pounds will be paid by Government, and 501. by Peirce himself.  The Walhalla stands on a hill called the Brauberg, which rises about 250 feet above the level of the Danube, at a place called Donaustauf, not far from Ratisbon. The edifice reposes on cyclopean substructures of a truly colossal magnitude, and six sets of marble steps lead from the temple to the five successive terraces over which it rises. From these terraces the view is inconceivably sublime. From the northwest a road winds through a grove of oaks up to the building; to the west lie the ruins of the ancient Castle of Stauf, upwards of 800 years old ; and to the north the woody hills which stretch away to the Bohemian forests.  Of many of the illustrious individuals whose names figure among the worthies of Germany, no well authenticated likenesses have been tranzmatted to us. In such cases as it has been impossible to place busts of them in the temple, their names in letters of gilt bronze have been inscribed on large tablets of white marble. Of these tablets there are 64, of the busts about 100, but space is left for the future introduction of many more. Among the names an Englishman will be surprised to find many which he has been accustomed to rank among the distinguished ornaments of his own national history, such as Alfred the Great, the Venerable Bede, &c. King Louis, however, considers the Saxons in England as a part of the great German family, and, on the same principle, Clovis and Charlemagne are likewise admitted among the associates of the Walhalla. In fact, Germany, according to the King's plan, is made to extend as far as the German language is 'spoken, or was spoken, at any particular time.  The inauguration of the Walhalla will, no doubt, be celebrated in Germany as a national festivity, and strangers will flock to Ratisbon from all parts of Europe to participate in the spectacle. To English tourists the opening of the Saxon-Bavarian railroad, which has just taken place, will offer great facility of access, as from llamhurgh the steam-boats up the Elbe to Madgeburg, and thence along the railroad to Leipzic and Altenburg, will bring the traveller to within a short distance of the scene of the solemnity.
