The universal theme of conversation at Brighton, on Tuesday, was the reported elopement of the wife of Captain Heaviside, of Brunswick Square, a Magistrate for the county, with Dr. DionyFius Lardner, the popular lecturer on the steam-engine, &e., and railway experimentalist. Immediately on the unhappy husband discovering his dishonour. he set off in pursuit of the fugitives, accompanied by Mr. '1'. N. Wigney. We hear the frail pair were traced to London, whence they had sailed for Ostend, whither the pursuers have followed. Mrs. Heaviside is a most elegant woman, somewhere about thirty years of age, and, we regret to add, is the mother of three children.—.Eecniny
