The D'ARusmoNT CAsE.-The decision of Judge
Warden in the application of Fanny Wright
D'Aruamont against her husband for alimony was
delivered on Monday last, and is published in the
Cincinnati papers. The lady. was divorced from
her husband by decree obtained in the Tennessee
courts, and filed bill to recover back the entire
or large proportion of the property decided by
her to her husband her trustee and in the opin-
ion delivered Judge Warden allows her alimony
in a sum equal to the amount which she would be
mum. The court did not, however, express any
opinion to the force of the trust deed, and made
the allowance, not q provision under the trust

HEAVY GRADES OvERooME.-The following, from
the Baltimore Patriot, relative TO late excursion
of the President and Directors of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, shows that the difficulties which were
once apprehcnded in regard to heavy grades on
railroads are overcome with case:
at remains to notice the manner in which the
road was passed over and especially the high grade
of ll6 feet per mile, about which much interest
has been felt
"The train containing the visitors consisted Of
five passenger cars well filled. These were drawn
by engine No H. built by Mr.. Ross Wnans,
to the Piedmont station, at a moderate speed, to
permit view of the road; and after short de-
lay ut the point, during which one of the passen-
ger cars was detached, and five gondola cars,
loaded with iron, attached, the locomotive
proceeded with this train, weighing about lit
Over the successive grades 3S, 40, so, TO feet
per mile, extending for miles, the en- CINE ran in
4 minutes, at the rate of 90 miles per hour, and
then entering upon the grade Of ll6 feet per mile
she assembled it in minutes, to near the point at
which the track terminates, distance of "a miles
from the beginning of the grade. The speed on
the grade of ll6 feet, therefore, averaged III miles
per hour. The steam pressure during the run was
ITO pounds per square inch, and the cutoff or
panson-valve was used for about two thirds of the
distance, when it changed to the full stroke,
the shifting Of the valve motion causing little loss
of Roadway, which was, however, Immediately
gained. The steam blowing off all the time,
though not freely. There slipping of the
wheels, and no necessity for sanding the track
'lmineuiateiy aitci tnc passehSeI Tram the ioCo-
motive No. 70, built in the shops of the company at
Mount Clare, came up the grade with train of Is
gondola care loaded with iron rails, and weighing
in all 234 tons gross. Her speed upon the grade
was about u miles per hour, and she performed the
run, working her valves at full stroke, with abun-
dance of steam, and without stopping her wheels.
The rail dry and clean, and in the most favor
able condition for adhesion.
'The weight of engine IL is "a tons of 2, 240 lbs,
and Of engine 70 is 253 tons. The former has cyl
inders of IS inches and the latter of 20 inches di-
nmeter-the length of stroke in each case being %
inches On the previous day both engines had
or 20S and 234 tons respectively-and each drew
its load up the grade without hating slipping
its wheels, and at speeds of from to miles per

TRADE ON THE CHESAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL
The trade the canal from one cause or other has
hitherto been small There has in no one week
been arrival of more than about thirty-sx or
forty boats Whereas soon as the trade ge5 fairly
under way, we may reasonably look for that
number per day. Indeed, the average arrival has
not been more than about three boats per day.
We may be asked, perhaps, how many OF these
boats have stopped at Georgetown. In answer,
we may say that is now engaged In the
Cumberland coal trade in our town, nor arc
there any outward shipments made from this port.
The causes of this we will briefly assign. There
10 no place for storage in town, nor can any
suitable place be easily obtained The only space
which is at all accessible to the boats is from the
aqueduct to about the market house, and this
space is so occupied with valuable mills and ma
chnery, that it cannot be possibly appropriated to
the purpose of coal yards to any considerable ex-
tent, or in such manner as to accommodate any
great quantity. Below the market house the boats
cannot 60 because the bridges too low for them
to pass and repass. What they to do? Why,
evidently to go through the aqueduct to Alexan
dria, although this may be both announcement and
expensive TO them from the delay to be encoun-
tered Our Alexandria neghbors have gone to
some considerable expense and labor to accommo-
date this trade, and to bring it, like grist, to their
mill. But informed that there too there
ia some inconvenience to be encountered. But very
few boats can unload at time; and we have heard
of some captains who have required as high as six
ty or seventy dollars for delays incident to unload
ing. AS the demurrage Is ten dollars per day ills
dition to the cost of the coal when it occurs. And,
in estimating the price, these things are to be
taken into consideration. Some persons may,
perhaps, think that Georgetown has met with
some great and irreparable loss from allowing
this trade to be drawn off from her in it's
mencement; but when it is considered that large
amount of capital has been expended to accomplish
this end-that it ia as yet still undecided how far
this has been available to the effectng Of any thing
more than mere temporary benefit, and that
many of the Cumberland mining companies have
in all probability needed the aid of our enterprs-
ing neighbors TO enable them to develop fully their
resources, and TO bring them into market at all,
| may well question whether the policy OF awaiting
the result Of things, and of allowing experience to
guide US instead of uncertain theory, is not per-
| haps after all, wise and wholesome policy.
| Those natural advantages and facilities which
| Georgetown possesses for the accommodation Of
| the coal trade, are such cannot be taken from
her; and capitalists will not be slow to avail of them
when they and that they ship coal from this
point cheaper than from elsewhere. This is the
real question issue, and wherever il can be ship
ped from at the least expense, it will be likely TO
| go from that point Georgetown AdUocdte

rains in that county will very much iniure the to-

size, and the rain Injuries them by removing the
gummy substance from the leaves and spotting
them, thus diminishing the weight considerably
and making the quality inferior. The corn crop is
remarkably fine.
