In addition to the ordinary inaugural address of the

elation will prove a complete success. All that is required
is that the inhabitants of the city show their usual
liberality in providing the requisite funds for the manage-
ment of the meeting, and their well-known hospitality to
the eminent men and women who are about to honour the
city with their presence.

A SCOTCH ELOPEMENT.-SCENE ON BOARD A
LIVERPOOL AND GLASGOW STEAMER.

On Monday afternoon, a domestic scene, of a
somewhat unusual character, took place on board the screw-
steamer Snipe previous to her starting for LiverpooL
Among the passengers observed on board was a man
somewhat advanced in year, who was paying devoted
attentions to an elderly but tolerably good-looking
female. The hallway anbeisting between the loving pair
was somewhat disturbed on the arrival of the train
from Glasgow, which brought with it a care-worn
motherly-looking woman, evidently labouring under
great excitenreut. On ceuring to the steamer she
pushed by the ticket collector, and confronted the
male penonage, who turned oat to be her husband.
Turning to his female companion, the infuriated wife
seized hold of her by the bloomer hat which she
wore and almost tore it in shreds, and otherwise assaulted
her. A number of passengers here interfered, and the two
women were soon separated. The wife explained aloud to
the passenger that the man was her husband, was father
of runs ahlUlrth, and grandfather to several mom—that
he had eloped from hdinburgh (where he resided) that
morning with the female, who was a widow, and that having
got a hint of the affair she had started with the next train
for Glasgow. Upon reaching the Broomielew the injured
wife found that the steamer had sailed. She then took
the first train for Greenock, and caught the faithless pair
as above stated. To settle matters a compromise was
proposed, but the wife proclaimed her Intention
of following her husband, go where he would.
Ultimately the husband got a ticket for her to err
company him to Liverpool ; but the other passenger
taking the wife's part, began make the husband feel
his position rather hot. A large crowd likewise
samobled upon the quay, and pre expression to all
manner of threats against the fugitive. SOON of the
more cow sgeous amongst the female passengers pro-
pemd to tie a rope round his waist and give him a few
dips in the river. Upon hearing this, the rene
husband resolved to return home with his wife, which
; the latter at once consorted to do so, and the pair soon
thereafter left the boat, the husband retreating under
a series of groans and hisses from all who withessed
the affair—the widow being left on board lamenting.
As very little sympathy was extended towards her by
• the other female passenger, and as fears were being
expressed that violent hands might be laid upon her
by some of the more demonstrative of her sex, she was
; removed by one of the officials on board the steamer, and
' locked up in a room. The affair awed great excitement,
and at one time it was deemed accessary to seek the aid of
I the police in order to prevent the husband being summarily
, chastised for his faithlessness. The parties were very to.

but failed to obtain any trace of the missing property.
A few days afterwards a woman named Martha iloughton
was sneaked en the charge of stealing the clothing.
The idiom was that she picked the coat and vest
up in a field near to her house. She was committed
for trial at the sessions. Subsequently, however, the

soner. A drover named Williams deposed that on the
