Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is -known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. "The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

First, as the amount of deposits and current ac counts :—the figures relating to each Bank are subjoined:— London and Westminster London Joint-Stock Union Bank of London London and County Commercial Bank City Bank 1,886,532 Bank of London Total £39,835,242 Compared with the returns made at the 31st De cember, 1858, there is an laggregrate increase of £637,681, or 2 per cent., and compared with those at the 30th June, 1858, an increase of £646,774,'0r also about 2 per cent. On the 30th June, 1859, the Bank of England minimum rate of discount was 3 per cent. ; on the 31st Dec., 1858, 22, and on the 30th June, 1858, 3 per cent. The alteration in the , value of money during the period embraced in the comparison has not been of a character to affect the aggregate amount of deposits. A comparison of the amount of deposits and cur rent accounts held by each bank at the three periods mentioned shows the following changes :—London and Westminster Bank, an increase of £230,621, compared with 31st December last, but a decrease of £747,309, compared with the 30th June, 1858 ; Lon don Joint-stock, an increase of £354,490 compared with 31st December, 1858, but a decrease of £565,411 compared with 30th June,lBsB ; Union Bank, a de crease of £464,402 compared with 31st December, 1858, but an increase of £649,829 compared with 30th June, 1858 ; London and County, an increase of £355,066 compared with 31st December, 1858, and an increase of £440,909 compared with 30th June, 1858 ; Commercial Bank, a decrease of £24,523 com pared with 31st December, 1858, and a decrease of £56,721 compared with 30th June, 1858 ; City Bank anin crease of £136,785 compared with 31st of De cember, 1858, and an increase of £634,282 compared with 30th June, 1858; and Bank of London, an in crease of £49,644 compared with 31st December, 1858, and an increase of £291,194 compared with 30th June, 1858. The result of this comparison is that, of the older Banks, the London and County are making the most satisfactory progress as regards the extent of general business. The London and Westminster and London Joint-Stock during the first six months of 1859 have only partially re covered the business lost during the last six months of 1858. The Union Bank, on the other hand, have parted with two-thirds of the sum which was added to their balances at the 30th June, 1858. The progress of the young City Bank is remarkably rapid; the increase in the deposits, &c., since the 30th June, 1858, amounts to fully 50 per cent. The Bank of London have increased their balances by 27 per cent. within the same period. Each of these two Banks was established in the year 1855. The paid-up capital in each case is the same as that of the Commercial—viz., £300,000. An inquiry into the means by which the two young establishments have already far outstripped the Commercial, fifteen or sixteen years their senior, might be interesting to the shareholders in the latter. As regards dividends, the principal feature con sists in the inability of the London Joint-Stock Bank to make up the rate of dividend (122 per cent. per annum) declared at the corresponding period of last year without resorting to the objectionable plan of drawing upon the guarantee Lund. to the extent of £4,762. At the corresponding period of last year we may remark, the dividend and bonus together were at the rate of 22#,- per cent. per annum, and for the last six months of 185$ at the rate of no less than 321 per cent. per annum, making thus 272 per cent. for the whole year 1858. The cir cumstance that the profits for the last six months are inadequate to a dividend at the rate of 122 per cent., and allow of no bonus at all, seems to demand some explanation beyond that assigned by the di rectors, viz. ; the depreciation in the market value of the " Government and other available securities held by the Bank." In any case the serious fluc tuation in the dividend impresses the necessity of adopting a different mode of valuing these securi ties. Bank dividends ought not to be thus closely , dependant upon the " ups and downs" of the mar ket. The guarantee fund of the establishment, after the deduction of £4,762, amounts still to £201,147 ; but this sum is not large in relation to the sum of £9,722,212 due by the Bank to their customers. Most persons hold the opinion that a Bank guarantee fund ought not to be drawn upon in order to make up dividends. The fall which took place in the price of the shares upon the an nouncement of the directors' recommendation indi cates that a good deal of disappointment was occa sioned. A more legitimate mode in which large accumulations under the head of guarantee fund may be dealt with is that pursued by the Union Bank of London, who have this half year capitalised £120,000 of their reserve fund, representing £2 per. %are, whereby the total paid-up capital entitled to dividend is increased from £600,000 to £120,000. It must be remarked, to the credit of the Union Bank, that they have atoned for former shortcomings by adding, for the last 12 months, the very large sum of £45,000 to the reserve fund. After the capi talisation of £120,000, the balance at the credit of this fund consists of £108,152 Consols, worth now upwards of £lOO,OOO. Some other Banks that we know of would have announced a large addition to the dividend, though aware that the increase would not be permanently maintained, and that it would occasion injurious fluctuations in the price of the shares. After all, however, the real criterion of the rela tive degree of security offered to their customers by these establishments rests with the amount—whether in cash, money " at call," or Government securities —held immediately available for any emergency, however sudden. Regarded from this point of view the balance-sheet of the London Joint-Stock Bank is decidedly the least satisfactory of any. Pursuing their practice of giving as little information as pos sible, the managers record that they hold £1,387,038 in " Exchequer-bills, India Bonds and Debentures, and Government Stock," but when we look further, with a view to ascertain what amount of cash they have likewise available to meet the £9,722,212 of customers' balances and deposits, we are left to gather such information as we may from this por tentous entry—" By cash, loans, bills discounted, and other securities, £9,166,546." The practice of the London Joint-Stock Bank in this respect is dis countenanced by that of every other establishment. The London and Westminster Bank, against £11,696,436 of deposits, &c., show £1,978,867 in Government -stock, Exchequer-bills, and India Bonds," and £895,237 " cash in hand," making to gether £2,874,104, or equal to 25 per cent. of their liabilities to the public. The Union Bank show " cash in the bank, at the Bank of England, and at call, £ 1 ,711,745 ;" also " Government Stock, vt £ he 2 re , in 4 r m 2 d B ae , n 7 pdt 4 o s ssalettes or. securities, call," Banka su Indiam o eDebentures, Exche quer-bills, and City B em i s , £717,000" (besides the The amount of the guarantee f un d) , ma ki ng t oge ther likewise London eubaeln to ttour 2 e3 s h s a, p val p e ene r , rd c nc e a n , th cent. G . ioon hand and of -f their liabilities, and the Commercialei a sum equal to 27 per cent. n the case of the City Bank, the amount held in " Excheque r 13'11 -s, India Bonds, cash in hand, at Bank of England, and at call," is equal to only 18 or 19 per cent. of the deposits and cur rent balances. The inference is that the managers consider themselves warranted in retaining in hand a relatively smaller cash reserve than that held by either of the other banks. The Lyndon and County Bank, however, occupy by far the strongest position, and issue the most detailed and most satisfactory balance-sheet. They show " By cash on hand, at head office and branches, £550,926 ; cash placed at call and at notice,' £329,837 ; investments in Government and gni ranteed stocks, £462,945 ; ditto in other stocks and securities, £118,036." These sums make an aggregate of £1,961,745, being equal to no less than 42 per cent. of their liabilities. —Daily News.

H enry L ow th, C. 8., arrived at Gravesend, from Bombay, on Monday afternoon, in the troopships Genghi s 'Khan and Kennington, the head-quarters and band being on board the Genghis Khan, and the remaining companies, un der the command of Lieut. Colonel Win. Kier Stuart, on board the Kennington. The 86th has seen a great deal of service in India, in which coun try it has been stationed 17 years, having left England in May, 1842, the regiment taking a dis tinguished part in Sir Chas. Napier's campaign in 1845. Two more companies of the regiment are daily expected to arrive at Gravesend in the Northumberland. The 86th is very strong, not withstanding its casualties in India, the regiment, with the two companies on their passage home, numbering upwards of 600 men of all ranks. The 86th Regiment is to be quartered at Gosport, to which station the depot companies will proceed from Buttevant. Lieut.-Colonel W. R. Maxwell, in command of the detachment of Royal Marines serving on board the Aboukir, 91, screw steamer, at Portsmouth, is ordered to give over the command to Captain J. Huskisson, of the Chatham division, who proceeds from head-quarters this day, Lieut.-Colonel Max well having been promoted to the Staff of the Portsmouth division. The 2d Battalion Scots Fusilier Guards and the 76th Regiment will move to Dublin from the Cur ragh Camp, to be station e d a t th e f orm er garrison, on the Ist September. The 2d Battalion Scots Fusilier Guards will most probably be replaced by a battalion of the Grenadier Guards towards the end of September. The Essex Yeomanry will assemble at Chelmsford on the 17th September, for eight days' duty. Major Palmer, the commander, proposes to allow any gentleman or independent yeoman to join in drill, so as to qualify themselves for assisting volunteer corps. The Essex Yeomanry force now consists of a battery of six field guns, three squadrons of mounted riflemen, a detachment of Lancers, and a small staff of engineers. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. DEVONPORT. Yesterday (Tuesday) at the Town-hall, Devon port, Sir Arthur Buller was proposed by Mr. Wat son, and seconded by Mr. Snell. Mr. Ferrand was proposed by Mr. Glencross, and seconded by Mr. Rowe. The Mayor (Mr. Laity), who presided, declared (after some hesitation) that the show of hands was in favour of Mr. Ferrand. A poll hav ing been demanded by the friends of Sir Arthur, the election is appointed to take place to-day (Wednesday). BERWICR. Both Mr. Richard Hodgson, the Conservative candidate, and Mr. Marjoribanks, the Whig, are pursuing an active canvass. The contest promises to be close, but a sort of " vigilance committee" has been formed among the non-electors to take note, should any corrupt practices prevail. "A LIFE FOR A LIFE." By the Author of "John Halifax, Gentleman," &c. 3 vols. " The popularity of 'John Hali fax,' unlike that of most works of fiction, has singularly in creased from its first production, and given a character for power and intelligence to its author which is for the most part unprecedented at the present time. 'A Life, for a Life,' though in plot and construction it is entirely different from 'John Halifax,' is in every particular equal to that work, and by many degrees, in some of its scenes, in advance of it." —Messenger. During the half-year ended June 30, 1859, 9 persons were' killed and 11 injured on all the rail roads of the United Kingdom open for traffic by accidents the causes of which were beyond their own control, while 51 were killed and 22 injured from want of caution or misconduct. There were killed 4 engine -drivers, 8 firemen, 16 guards, &c., 7 porters, no policemen, 4 gate and signal men, 2 switchers, 7 platelayers,. and 7 labourers. These figures refer exclusively to servants of companies or contractors, the grand total'being 60 killed and 33 injured. The total number of collisions and other accidents to trains in- England, Wales, Scot land, and Ireland in the half-year ended 30th of June, amounted to 27 (25 to passenger and two to goods trains), and by these accidents nine persoas were killed and 159 injured. No passengers appear to have been killed, but 149 were injured. Twelve of the accidents were due to collisions, seven to trains getting off the rails, four to fracture of axles, wheels, or machinery, one to running too fast into a station, and two to trains catching fire. Against this last most frightful contingency there appears to be but little secßrity. Together with this return there have been presented. to the Board of Trade reports of engineers on certain accidents which oc curred in the months of February, April, and May, 1859 (Part III.) A collision on the Great Northern Railway at Sleaford, on the 13th of April, was due to the improper or irregular removal of some waggons by a man not in the employ, of the company. A fireman was killed in the Brighton and South Coast line on the 11th of May by coming into contact with tlor t ramt.f ~gate at:a level-cross ing near the city of Chichester. The posts were to be shifted in consequence. An-accident on the North-Western line, on the' 26th of February, when the engine went off the rails on the outside of an S curve about 3-4ths of a mile radius, and about one foulth of a mile beyond the foot of the incline about a mile from Leamington, was due to deterioration of the strength of the machinery. "This lamentable accident," says Captain Ross, R.E., "affords another instance of the small de pendence that can be placed on the resistance of trenails outside a curve to a bursting pressure, when any casualty interferes with the regular ac tion of an engine, and I would urge that no time should be lost in remedying this defect on all the ; curves of the line. In other respects the line seems to me in good order." The engine, No. 8, was one of sharp's 22-ton engines. It was received in 1847, and its mileage is returned as' having been 238,000 miles to the date of the accident. Two accidents from fire also occurred on the same (North-Western) line on the 11th and 21st of April. Both were doubtless caused by sparks from the engine, and the proper precantion is to abandon the practice of carrying luggage on the roofs of carriages, instead of in covered vans. The burn-. ing of coal in engines, moreover, has increased the liability of the luggage to be ignited, and endanger wooden viadacts and bridges not ade quately protected. The North-Western Rail way Company have had too much experi ence of these facts already to need any fresh warning from the Board of Trade, a large number of accidents having occurred which were never re ported. A boy was killed at a level crossing of the Midland (Nottingham and Mansfield) Railway on the sth of May, and the erection of a bridge has been recommended by the board. The Monkland Railways were found to be in a very unfit condi tion for the conveyance of passengers over the Ballochney inclines in June last. The traffic on those lines has been discontinued. A collision on the Waterford and Limerick line, near Bansha, on the 6th of April, was due to "a reckless system of working." The misconduct of the directors is thus severely , stigmatised by the Board of Trade : " My Lords," writes Captain Galton, " direct me to state that it appears from this report that the directors, apparently with the object of effecting the petty economy of not having a separate wire and proper instruments, servants, and regulations ' for the telegraphic train service, have adopted a mode of working the single line which appears to place responsibility upon no one, and to be so fraught with danger that it is providential that some serious accident has not happened long ago upon the line. My Lords trust that the warning which the directors have received will induce them to alter at once so reckless a system of working, for should any other accident occur under it the responsibility of having occasioned it will rest upon the directors." THE ENTRY OF THE ARMY INTO PARIS. (From the Times.) One of the noteworthy peculiarities of the triumphal entry of the army of Italy into Paris is the great economy of fine phrases throughout the whole affair. If it were possible that the same ceremonial had happened in London, we should have had an amount of speechifying that would have fallen heavier and damper than the showers of Sunday last upon the spirits both of actors and spectators. At each possible point—at the railway terminus, at the first flowery arch, at the line of frontier of every parish, and at the great centre where the army was to pass in procession and yield up its trophies to its Imperial leader, we should have had little knots of prosy personages. Mayors and select vestrymen, andsupervisors of pavements, bursting with loyal and congratulatory addresses ; and we should have had appropriate replies a dozen times repeated in an assiduously varied phraseo logy. In France they have come to manage these things better. So far as the accounts have yet reached us, the great pageant passed in grand dumb show except for the general shouting. It was a purely military spectacle, and the action was all pantomimic. When the Emperor wished to express his approbation of a particular Division he took off his cocked hat, and the desired expression was made ; when the wounded vivandiere was carried past he nodded a kindly nod, and the spectators understood that her pension was granted; when he desired to attract the sympathies of the crowd to the Imperial family he took his little son upon his saddle and kissed him, and the gaily-apparelled oc cupants of the amphitheatre understood, and were, for the moment, at least propitiated. We have not seen even an Order of the Day telling us how many centuries looked down upon that column which was destined for Charlemagne, and, after, a long interval, is surmounted again by the First Napoleon. This was all right and appropriate, even although perhaps not in accordance with historic precedent. Eloquence is the art of persuasion,— but what need had the master of that potent army to persuade ? We seek to persuade our equals or our superiors ; but what superior or what equal has Napoleon 111. in France ? They who surround an absolute monarch seek only to know his commands that they may obey them ; his sympathy, that they may rejoice ; his approbation, that they may count the coming reward ; his displeasure, that they may bow or fly. A gesture is sufficient for this purpose, and a diffuse piece of rhetoric can only weaken the prestige of power. Moreover, if he should desire to explain, or should wish to create an impression more expanded than can be fixed by the mere noti fication of the Imperial will, is not M. Granier de Cassagnac at hand to perorate through all the press of Paris, and to write Imperial speeches by which no one is committed, although every one may be puzzled ? The single exception to the restraint put upon the eloquence of all France is of the most moderate and brief character. In the evening, when the triumph had gope off so well—nothing happening to mar the glories of the day except a little cold water from the contumacious heavens—the Empe ror entertained the Chiefs of his Army at an Imne rial banquet. Hospitality here required a short address, and it was delivered in phrases which oc cupy scarce twenty lines in the faithful Moniteur. It is the model of an Imperial speech. It is not an harangue or an oration, but naked thought sculp tured in language. There is just enough of senti ment, just enough of modesty, just enough of ap proval. He expresses a natural reluctance to dis solve the elements of that strength which has made itself so notably felt, but he frankly accepts the necessity, and that he may promptly reassure Europe he dismisses the chiefs that surround him to the peaceful occupations of civil life. He reminds them of what they have accomplished together, and mo destly attributes the success which he, an untried General, has achieved, to the confidence and obedi ence rendered to him by his elders in arms. He hopes that the words written upon the medal which commemorates the campaign of Italy will often re call the memory of their comrade and commander — and this is all. This was all that preceded the toast of " The Army of Italy." Whether any means were used to mollify the disappointment which some of ' the Colonels may have felt at such sensible and ju dicious phrases we do not know, and ought not, perhaps, to care. The fact remains, that this little speech is a model of good taste, and so far as it re fers to things past, of truth, modestly told. Un doubtedly the Emperor, a civilian—for by civil arts he first rose to power—has led a large army, and manoeuvred' that army on the plains' of Solferino will the skill of &consummate general ; and, as lie has a right, to be proud of his success, so he de serves the credit of curbing the ostentatious expres- Sion 'of that. pride. When , he , reminels his generals of the- disadvantages with which he had to contend in the want of early training upon the field, he; obliquely compliments himself; but the inference i 4 so neatly concealed that it dees.not obtrude, and arises only when the first impression of the speech is past. We must confesS, howe'ver, that we can not see in the Emperor's inexperience of actual ser-: vice any grave disadvan. age in leading an army. History, if her teaching is worth anything, teaches that a civilian of Intelligence and the requisite moral courage, after some study of strategy, is quite as likely to make a good general as one who has passed his life upon the manual and platoon—that mere alphabet of the art of war, upon which the British officer generally spends his whole life: Great commanders have in all time been persons who were able to break away from the meshes of professional pedantries and to invehtfor themselves some new art of strategy. It has always been by a bold divergence from old rules that great vic tories have been won, and a man who has read, and laboured, and meditated outside the, professional circle is better, educated for a general than a man who has to unswathe himself froM the bands that have sustained him during the past-portion of his life, and to. accustom to independent, exercise, a mind which haS hitherto known no virtue but obedience, We could wish that if the time of need should ever come we may nave many men who have educated themselves for command as well as Louis Napoleon has. But it is our ungracious duty, default of some other monitor near and as free, to perform the part of Chorus in this great Drama, and to inform and warn while the actors are playing out their des tinies. It is our duty once again to remind the Emperor Napoleon that even now men are asking each other with what purpose and for what advan tage these victories have. been won, and the blood at which they were bought has been spilt. That question will be repeated by the present and by future generations. How will it be answered P Has he indeed chosen to throw away the fair prize of so much valour and skill, and is Italy, scarcely vet able to feel her 'freedom, to' be loaded with heavier fetters ? Are these 50,000 men " monzen tenement" left in Lombardy intended to quicken the good faith of Austria, whose dip'omacy is quick to retrieve military, reverses, but moves slothfully to consummate disagreeable concessions ? Or is that French army in Italy only to wait the command to restore the sovereignty of the Grand Dukes in the Duchies, and the tyranny of the Pope in the Lega tions ? There is a third and still more darenatory suggestion as to the presence of the French force at what is now no longer the seat of war. Those tat tered flags which told so suggestively the fate of thousands of brave men who stood by them when that iron storm was flying the marks of which they bear, were greeted with loud plaudits as they came in sight, because the French people still believe that it was for the liberation of Italy those losses were incurred. The medal which the Emperor promises will be worn with pride, because Magenta. and Malegnano and Solferino are even now held to be victories in the cause of Italian freedom. But what a cloud would come over this scene, what a taint of infamy would infect these victories, how suddenly would a glorious war in a glorious cause change into a piratical inroad for merely selfish objects, if it should tarn out that the sole motive and effect of all this has been nothing greater than to carve out a little kingdom in Central Italy, and to put Prince Jerome upon its throne ! CHERBOURG AND PO.RTSMOunr. If we wanted a proof of the French zeal in naval matters (and there are a score forthcoming from any inquirer at once), it would be afforded by the familiar instance of Cherbourg. There we have, or rather they have, a kind of model modern dock yard, free from the faults of old ones, and rich in all that ought to be found in the new. It is much nearer to us than older French arsenals, is built in the smoothest part of the Ch anne l, an d on a scale suited to the most formidable preparations. Take Portsmouth and Plymouth dockyards, and you find that there is a great deal of time lost in consequence of the departments being separate from each other; whereas rigging, arming, and victualling all go on at Cherbourg within the same walls. in our ports above-named, boats, lighters, buoys, keep endlessly moving through the yellow water (at the risk of wetting and otherwise damaging goods), while at Cherbourg everything is put on board from the wharfs, along side which the ship Fes. And so, of course, with coaling. Coal must be hoisted out of a ship's hold, and thus taken on board—a tedious process, " hateful to the seamen," as the Naval Peer justly observes, instead of being moved from the quays by machinery, as in the Norman port. Again, the Cherbourg authorities don't " hulk" their seamen, as we do, in narrow, dirty, old-fashioned hulks ; but march them aboard comfortably from a kind of naval barralks. Surely, all these are sensible business arrangements, vastly superior to our old happy-go-lucky way of managing matters ; and ought to teach us to mend it. Dock yards 'are the " positions" on which fleets retreat for refreshment and repair; and rapidity in and convenience for refitting a fleet would be half the battle in war time. That the French are eminently business-like in their way of doing work was shown at Genoa in the late war. This general superiority, of sizes and of arrangements about Cherbourg, and its nearness (only 52 miles) to our coast, make Cherbourg an ugly neighbour. Blockade it, you will say, as Collingwood did Toulon, so persistently. Nobody supposes that such traditions will not be honestly acted on by our service. But blockades have been evaded before ; and a steam fleet running 12 miles an hour would not be so easy to catch if once a feint had drawn the blockading force from before its prison. Observe, too, as an instance of the organisation of Cherbourg, that French ships can enter Cherbourg docks at all times of high water, and that our ships can only enter those of Portsmouth and Plymouth during spring tides. The fortification of our dockyards and arsenals in volves a military question. But it is not denied that Cherbourg is very strong from 'that point of view, nor that the improvements which have been going on at Portsmouth of late years still fall short of what is wanted.—Diekens's All the Year Round.

In the month of - March last, while attending one of irat nunt's lectures, in St: Jaines's Hall, she met a gen tleman about her own age , who introduced himself as the son of an earl;•made. passionate love to her, and vowed: he w ou ld s h oot her unless she married him. • On his repreSentations of his family and con nections, his promising: to present her with a new carriage and .. £2.000 in.. money, and consenting to have her. own jointure settled upon herself, shecen sented to comply with his ,wishes, and they . weie married on the 28t1i of June last, at St. Georgs Church, Hanover square. Weeks paSsectover with out the PreSentation of either the £2,006 or the carriage, and this induced her (applicant) to sus pect that her husband had not acted candidly with her ! and this feeling was increased by his not in troducing her to a single member of those whom .he _described as his aristocratic family. All, I n fact, she could learn about her husband' was thg he was the. friend of a merchant of much respect ability, having offices in Threadneedle -street and 'residing At the West end, and in whose service he held some appointment at the time of his mar riage. This appointment, she had reason to suspect, he had since lost, and was at present wholly living Upon her. The first question which she had to ask his worship was Whether she was obliged to supply her husband with clothes, partii , larly aa - he'vasin the habit of piing out in a very good suit and coming .home in a very bad one. (Laughter.) 'On Saturday last," said the applicant, " he left my house as nicely dressed as any gentleman, and did not returantil. mid-days- in Monday,- when "e .•dir,OZ% - rtlitTOTYfe state." ,r;• - - Mr. Norton—What is the name of your husband, pray ? Applicant—Capt. William Denby Sipper Harris •I think it-is. - M r . Norton—lt is rather strange ;that a lady shoUld not know her own name. (Laughter.) Applicant—Well,' r must admit that it is strange, but I now think, it is Harrison, but I shall go and get my marriage certificate. The applicant .here left the court, but returned in a short time . with the marriage certificate, which She - handed to the magiStrate. Mr. Norton—l see by this doctiment that your marriage took place on the 28th of June, - and that the name of your husband is Harrison. • He must therefore. have made some misrepreSentation,.as the name of the nobleman he assumed is not Harrison. Applicant—Oh, yes, he must have-deceived me, and yet professing so much love. (Renewed laughter.) He has treated mo cruelly, and yet he tells me my home and all I have got is his—insists (In having the whole of my, keys, and says I shall - be obliged to support him. Mr. Norton—Well, I am afraid that is so ; but I understand from the officer who has been to your house, at your request, that your husband has not only consented but wishes you to sue for a divorce. Applicant—Then I will do so. I only wish I had it now. I had an excellent offer from a barrister just before,.and was fool enough not to accept it. I wish your worship would take the troublo of just 'reading the letter sent to me by my husband before our marriage. and then the letter of tha barrister making me an excellent offer. (Laughter.) Mr. Norton—l have no great curiosity in such matters ; but now, Mrs. Harrison,. as that appears to be your name, if you can say you, go, in fear of your husband I shall grant you a summons. Mrs. Harrison (after some hesttation)—No, I cannot say I do. I think he loves me too well to injure me, though I do not love him a bit. (Much laughter.) Mr. Norton—Then I should recommend you to go home and to come to some arrangement for a speedy divorce or separation. Mrs. Harrison—No, I will not go home. I am afraid to do so. I shall go to Brighton, and he may sell or do what he likes with the goods in the house. Mr. Norton—What may be their value ? Mrs. Harrison—;e3oo or £4OO. Mr. Norton—Well, my advice to you is to go home. Mrs. Harrison—l feel very much obliged to you, sir, but I shall go to Brigh ton. Mrs. Harrison then withdrew from the court. THE GRE T EASTERN AND HER PROS PBOTS.—caRK AND QUEBEC. To obtain a passenger and goods traffic sufficient for this ship is, no doubt, an object of anxiety and thought to the directors of the company. If Liver pool and New York were accessible to her, their these would be the ports. Nature, however, im poses a barrier—the want of a sufficient depth of water in the approaches to both. Considering that the East Indian trade will not pay, as there is no emigration to that part of the empire, the Peninsular Company taking the pas sengers chiefly con nec t e d wi th t h e m ili tary d n d civil departments, the steamer would have to-de pend on troops out and home,or_coolies to the West Indies—a rather disreputable traffic. To Australia the emigration has eeased,there being few goods back. It is plain, then, that to get a passenger and goods traffic she must run between some port on this side and Quebec, thus getting the trade formerly carried by the New York packet ships, and latterly by them and the various lines of steamers. It may be well first. to decide on a British port, having an eye not only to our own but the Conti nental trade with the United States and Canada. Three present themselves Holyhead, Milford Haven, and Queenstown (Cork). The first is nearest to our great seaport, Liverpool'; Milford has thead vautage of cheap fuel ; Cork, in being clear of the dangers of the Channel (which proved so disastrous to the Tayleur, Pomona, and other passenger ships), as being nearest to Nantes, Havre, and Bordeaux, by which the French and Continental traffic could be intercepted, and already having steam linen to London, Bristol, Liverpool, and Glasgow,by which goods can be conveyed as cheap from them as- by rail to either Milford or Holyhead. This will be a golden apple to the winner. The reasons for choosing Quebec are that it has, by the Grand Trunk and its conceOtions, commu nication with all parts of the States and Canada ; by the St. Lawrence, steam and shipping with the great lakes and the South-Western Railway ;while New York, with transhipment s, has 360 miles of canals by Buffalo, and 210 by Oswego, through which it gets its chief supplies, Quebec has only 69 miles canal to Buffalo, and 42 to Oswego, the dis tance to Europe being by the St. Lawrence 287 miles shorter from Buffalo, and 360 from Oswego, than by New York. The railways would carry alongside the` Great Eastern the bacon, hams, tal low, cheese, hides, lard, wool, and other produc tions of St. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago, Milwaukie, Cleveland, and other western cities, now sent to New York ; while the shipping could discharge into her the wheat, corn, flour, beef, pork, and other goods which would not pay the railway charges. Some idea of the extent of this trade may be known from 25,605,000 bushels of grain being transhipped at Buffalo, and 11,000,000 at Oswego, for New York, as well as 35,000 barrels beef, 94,000 of pork, 11,000,0001b5. tallow, 15,500,000 lbs. bacon, in 1856, Chicago alone exporting that year over 2,500,000 qrs. grain, 9,300,000 lbs. hides, 4,000,000 lbs. lard, and taking vast quantities of manufactured goods in return. By a system of through bills of lading from the cities of the west and our manufacturing towns, a great deal of the trade would be dive r t e d to the Great Eastern from its present channel by 'New York, as passengers would be in Quebec 14 six days, and in St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Chicago in eight, and at St. Paul (almo s t h a lf way to British Columbia) in nine days, while goods would be de livered at those cities under three weeks from Eng land via Cork. Ships of 400 tons, by elevators, would discharge their cargoes of grain in one day, while on - this side, by the same facilities, they could be as easilY unloaded. At Quebec the Great Eastern could lie along the depot between the rails on one side side and the shipping on th e ot h er. El eva t ors of great ~p ower are ashore an d a fl oa t, so th a t in no port could there be more despatch. In winter the St. Lawrence is °P ill ' h to which the Grand Trunk is finis ed. A wooden a high as Bei, the landing of the goods an d passengers. wharf could here be extended out to deep water for THE CAPTURE OF THE HERALD,—We (Shipping Gaatte) are pleased to learn, on the authority of the Foreign Minister, that compensation boas been demanded by the British Government from the Go . vernment of Portugal for the seizure of the Herald, some months since, on the East Coast of Africa, and that comps ,nation will be granted, a lth o ugh the mone y not yet be en paid.
