In a few moments the door was opened, and in came the bride eject all dressed for the occasion, but with a heavy maski on, which she informed hini would be removed as soon as he promised to "love, honor and keep her for better or worse," &c. ; They stood up, the captain all anxiety, and the minister commenced. The captain made )s vows, and when the lady was ab out to do the same, she removed her mask, and said to th'e astonished and mortified groom, "John I could dot let you have an otherwife while I was jliving." The cap tain now looked down, jawl who should it " be but his wife, who he thought was out West, and not dreaming that she was near; but she, having heard of the attention he had been paying to thje lady in question bad come on and arranged the plan! which was carried.

In 1S54 the construction of the "Great Eastern," paddle and screw combined, was commenced at Millwall, London, by Messrs. J. Scott Russell & Co. The length of this Vessel on deck is 692ft., her beam S2ft. 6in ., and depth 5Sft.; tonnage, B. M. 24;360 tons; paddle engines, 1,000 nominal horse power; screw engines, 1,600 nominal horse power. -The lines of this Vessel were de signed by Mr. Scott Russet, and the. ideas on which a ship to fulfill the conditions proposed to be accomplished by the com pany, which was got up to construct f her, were promulgated before 1S2S by a Mr. Holmes, and in 1840 by Lieut. Radford, R. N., the latter of whom published a small work on the subject, in which nearly all the advantages and reasons for the con struction of such vessels as the "Great Eastern," which Were brought forward at a later period, were fully entered into, jit is recorded that when Mr. Holmes first broached this subject at the admiralty and elnewhere, they laughed at the idea, and ... " begged him to desist from pursuing so iu tile a plan.; The "Great Eastern" was built "broad side on," with her bow down the river, and the first attempt at launching her was made by Mr. I. K. Brunei, the company's engin eer, on a new plan invented by him, on No vember 3d, 1857, but resulted in total fail ure.
