ANOTHER AURORA FLOYD.

The following appears in a late English paper :—Considerable excitement has been created in West Sussex by the report that a clergyman's daughter, and only child, had eloped with her father's coachman. The report, however, prves to be true, and from what we can learn the facts are these. About two years since the elergyman in question, • through the death of an old servant,' engaged a young man as coachman, and to accompany his daughter when out on horseback as groom. Time ran on, and before many months had expired it was generally observed that when out riding the coachman, instead of taking his proper place a few yards behind the young lady, Was always by her side, chatting in a most familiar mauner. Things went on in this way for several months, till at last it began to be noticed that the young lady's visits to the stables were not like the angels,'' few and far between.' The familiarity carried on between her and the coachman excited remark, and the latter one fine morning received notice from his master that after a certain time his services would no longer be required. The time arrived, the man left, and obtained a situation at a small village near, as coachman, &c, in a gentleman's family. All went on very well apparently till about a fortnight since, when the young lady left her parents house on a supposed visit to London. Instead bf proceeding there, it appeared she found her way to- , and before many hours had passed away from the time of her leaving home she was married by special licence to her father's late coachman. After the ceremony was performed she left the village and proceeded home, and on the following morning (Sunday) she took her seat as usual at the harmonia in her father's church, just as if nothing out of the usual way had occurred. However, before the day was gone the truth came out, the news spread like wildfire in the village and neighborhood, and created the greatest excitement, for the young lady was not only respected, but beloved by all who knew her. She is highly accomplished and ladylike in the extreme, and, what is more, is, or will be possessed of £50,000. Her age is 27. The most extraordinary part of the affair is that the bridegroom is nothing out of the usual way in appearance. He has the appearance of what is commonly called ' horsey.' His father is a hawker of earthenware, and the mother is in the habit of going out charriug.
