A CENTENARIAN.—Last week an old %voting, named
Christina IbleLend or Inkster, was examined as a wit-
ness iu the Leith plied court against a person for steal-
ing various artichs of clothing from her house. She
stated that she was 100 years and five months old.
Notwithstanding her extreme old age, ehe gave her
evidence in a clear, lucid manner. She is in possession
of all her bodily and mental faculties, and looks as if
she might live 10 or 15 years longer. She states she was
burn in Orkney, where she resided till about 15 years
ago, when she went ta Leith ; that she was married
when she was 24 years of age, and that she bad seven
children, all of whom are dead with the exception of
one son, au ell man, living in Ca'tleness. Her circum-
stances are not by any means good, her chief support
belie, ha f-a-erown a week from the parochial board.—

AMERICAN 6TEABISHIP —The Vanderbilt has dissp-
p dated those who extelleted her to make one of the crack
ocean passages, and the Niagara has succeeded in crose-
iug the oce.n in something over 18 dm s, during 14 of
which she was under sail and steam. We understand
that the astonishing velocity of the Niagara is explained
by Capt. Hudon's very proper dread of losing his spars;
we have no doubt that the Vanderbilt would have made
as quick a trip as her friends predicted had not her en-
gineer been afraid of overheating her boilers or chafing
her wheels. It is all right as it is ; and people who want
to grumble will be so good as to hold their peace. We
hope, however, we may inquire what becomes of the
Collins steamer Blank, commanded by Captain Blank,
which leaves on Wednesdays, at bl ink intervals, from
the foot of Canal•street, and on beard of which passen-
g rs are earnestly renue,ted to have their luggage by an
early hour in the morning. Is there any such steamer?
Dues she, reall leave ? Or would the passenger who sent
his luggage down in compliance with the advertisement
find him-elf even blanker than the gallant ship and her
notle commander, Captain -- ? It really looks as
though the control of the ocean was parting from us,
and being securely vested in foreign nations. England
is crowding the Atlantic with steamers of all sizes and
model , from the (heat Eastern downwards. Her screws
bid fair, at no distant period, to monopolise the traffic
of the ocean, and, of course, in like manner to sweep it
in case of war. France enters the lists with three Trans-
at!antic lines, to whica the State grants 14,000,000 fr.
subvention, nearly $1,000,000 per annum per line. Even
Sardinia, Spain, and Holland are on the track. We alone
teem to be stationary. The policy of those Western
and South-Western members of Congress who have ob-
tained from the United States millions of acres of land
for the development of their country by means of rail-
roads bas always been to discountenance appropriat-
tions for ocean steamshipe, on the ground that they were
monopolies—in their nature opposed to the public in-
terest. By this dog-in-the-manger system, while they
helped themselves to all they wanted, they ruined the
prospects of our steam marine. They induced the Post-
office and Congress to refuse appropriations in aid of
steamers, and the consequence is the decay which we
see. It will take some private energy and enterprise to
raise the United States to the position she ought to
occupy.—New York Herald.
ELOPIMENT EXTBAORDINARY.—On Wednesday even-
ing, the 3d inst., a man and a woman arrived by rail at
the Bridlington station, and made their way by omnibus
to an inn in the Market-elace, where they took up their
abode fur the night as husband and wife, stating, among
other things, they had been married two month-, and had
come to Bridlington to obtain work, the man as a labourer
and the woman in any way she could be useful, especi-
ally in the stitching line. They had a large quantity of
luggage, comprising female attire and abundance of pro-
visions, consisting of pies of various kinds and sizes,
cheesecakes, tarts, ham, bread, a bottle of wine, &a.
They ate, drank, and were very merry, and the good
people of the inn seemed greatly taken with their new
guests, who intimated their intention of remaining in that
hospitable domicile for some time to come. At length
to bed they went, but bow they slept deponent knoweth
not. In the morning they reappeared, and in due time
a sumptuous breakfast was prepared, to which the happy
couple sat down ; but, as it is said, the course of eras
love seldom runs smooth, so in this instance, for scarcely
had the revelry begun, when le 1 in popped the woman's
husband, accompanied by a policeman. Now, under
such circumstances it is natural enough to expect that
all the crockery on the table and the heads of the wife
and her paramour would be smashed to atoms, or at least
seriously injured : but no, the tender-hearted, fondly-
loving husband merely said, with the utmost sangfroid,
" My dear, Ize come to tak thee hooano • will thou gang
•To which his cars sposa as coolly replied, "No, never.'
Yet all was peace and quietness ; the loving eouple
continued doing ample justice to their luxurious repast,
while the husband eat looking on and smoking his pipe.
After breakfast some conversation followed, in which the
unhappy husband used all the eloquence of which he
was capable to induce his faithless spouse to return to
his home, at Sutton, near Hull, promising, if she would
return, he would freely forgive her and never again men-
tion her misconduct. She, however, seemed resolved
to abide by her choice, and all entreaties, promises, and
arguments appeared but a waste of words. At length
threats were resorted to, and, seeing the strong arm of
the law bef, re her, madame most reluctantly consented
to go back, but declared most positively and detanni,.
nately that she would never live with him again; and
before packing up for her departure shetold her paramour
to meet her at Hull,

Many other sayings and doings connected with this serio-
comic affair might have been given, some of which were
very amusing and some of a, contrary character. The
husband and wife appeared to be about 40 years of age
each, and the lady's love about 26.—Yorkshireman.
