Yesterday a middle-aged igablndreepa
'lads; -andswho appeared in a sttre or ilervoup
excitement, applied to the Hon. G. C. Nerton, at
Lana. heili Police-Court, for hiS advice as to how she
should -aet -respecting- her husband, to--whom she
had not been married quite two months.
From the lady's statement., it appeared that she
had been the daughter ea surgeon, and had been
married to.a gentleman who died about fire years
ago, leaVing her a widow without a family, a well-
furnished house, and a handsome income. In the
month of March last,. while. attending one of
_Bar-
num's lectures, iu St. James'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 would shoot' her unless she married
him. On his representations of his family andcon-
nections, his promising to present --her with a new
carriage and £2.000 in money, and consenting to
have lier.ewn jointuresettlednpon herself, she con-
rented to comply with his wishes, and they were
married on the 28th of June last, at St. George's
Church, Hanover square. Weeks passed over with-
out r
Qn.ocr -either. the £2,000 or the
ainduced her (applicant) to sus-
critahge re
ands entthaitsi
inclu
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, in
fact, she could learn about her husband was that
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 toask
his worship was whether she was obliged to supply
her husband with clothes, particularly as he was in
the habit of going out in a very good suit and coming
home in a very had one. (Laughter.) "On Saturday
last," said the applicant, " he left my house as nicely
dressed as any gentleman, and did not return until
mid-day on Monday, when he came in a deplorable
state."

/~r ~:

Mr. Norton—What is the name of your husband,
pray ?

Applicant—Capt. William Denby Sloper Harris
think it is.

Mr.—Norton---It is rather strangethat 'a lady
should not know her own name. (Laughter.)
Applicant—Well, I must admit that it is strange,
but 1 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 document that your
marriage took place on the 28th of June, and that
the name of 'your husband is llw;t3—W He must
therefore have made some misrepresentation, as the
name of the noblenian he assumed is not Harrison.
Applicant—Oh, yes, he must have deceived me,
and yet professing so much love. (Renewedlaughter.)
He has treated me cruelly, and yet he tells me my
home and all I have got is his—insists on having the
whole of my keys, and says I shall be Obliged, to
support him.

-gr. 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 trouble of just
reading the letter sent to me by my husband before
our marriage, and then the letter of the 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 hesitation)—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. NG/loll—What may be their value ?
Mrs. Harrison—X3oo 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 Brighton.
Mrs. Harrison then withdrew from the court.

THE GRE i T EASTERN AND HER PROS-
PECTS.----CORK 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, thee
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 connected with the military and
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 ceased,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 the ad-
vantage 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 lines 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 connections, commu-
nication w.

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. graln, 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 diverted to the
Great Eastern from its present channel by Need
York, as passengers would be in Quebec in Ea
days, and in St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Chicago in
eight, and at St. Paul (almost half 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 elle°,
unloaded.
At Quebec the Great Eastern could lie along the
depot between the rails on one side side
