THE hope of an easier money market has once more proved fallacious. The feeling of disappoint ment seems in many quarters to be rather acute, for, in view of the diminished exports of bullion in payment for cotton, of the great moderation which we have latterly observed as regards commitmenta to foreign loans, and of the check to business inci dental to the advance of the season, it had come to be generally expected that, whatever may be the course of the money market during the closing months of the year, August and September would at least peas over easily and quietly. Those who argued in this way did not bestow sufficient atten tion upon the unmistakeable evidences, presented by the Bank of England returns, of a steady drain upon the resources of that establishment. Since the 16th of June, when the last previous change in the Bank rate—viz., a decline from 7 to 6 per cent.—occurred, the course of the weekly accounts has been as follows ; COIN AND BULLION Wednesday, June 15 X14,304.20:7 99 22 29 $9 July 6 „ 13 14701,112 „ 20 13,171,361 „ 99 27 stelriVE or NOT= AND COLN. Wsdnseday, June 15 ft .9 22 , 29 Pt 'fitly 6 „ 13 6,778,727 IP 20 27 It is apparent from • glance at these figures that the fall in the Bank rate to 6 per cent, formed an important turning point in the course of the money market. In face of the decline of 1,307,5201. ' the bullion, and of 2,815,2151. in the reserve, which has taken place during the last six weeks, It will not be urged for a moment that the direc tors of the Bank of England, if they intend to adhere to the principles laid down by the Act of 1844, could have refrained from raising their charge. On the contrary, on the face of the Bank figures—not to look any farther—there seems almost warranty for a rise in the minimum to 8 per cent. ; and rumour affirms that the minority in favour of the adoption of that measure in the Bank parlour on Thursday last was a large one. Thepublic, whose interests are best consulted by an absence of those sudden and violent movements in the money market of which they have already had more than their share this year, will of course regard with approbation the conservative yet moderate course pursued by the Bank, while the executive of that establishment, no longer restricted to the obsolete practice of acting only on one fixed clay of the week, is content with the knowledge of its power to apply afresh corrective to the drain as soon as it gives sign of resuminginconvenientproportions. At the present moment, it must be admitted, the question of a rise to 8 per cent. is trembling in the balance, and a very alight pressure of cir cumstances either way will at once determine it. The last " turn of the screw " had the antici pated effect of imparting more steadiness to the exchanges with the Continent, but was not suffi cient to cause any important rise ; and from this it may be inferred that a fresh "turn"—other things remaining equal—would have that effect; that is to say, would bring in contributions of capital to our relief from the Continent, and thereby render us the better able to meet the immediate demand by which we are being • little overtaken for Spain and the new cotton countries. While, however, it is stall doubtful whether, in face of our diminishing stock of bullion, the in coming supplies will be equal to the foreign de mand upon us—and, failing this, a fresh rise in the Bank rate would be certain—there is no doubt that, quite apart from the bullion move• went, the question of the maintenance of the Bank rate at 7 per cent., or its ad vance to eight, depends largely upon the good plea sure or discretion of the commercial and moneyed public. Not long since, it became clear that the price of money would rise ; accordingly, bankers and capitalists held their funds back for higher terms, while the borrowing public pressed forward with a proportionate degree of eagerness. The conse quent advance in the Bank rate from 6 to 7 per cent. has only partially checked the pressure—a result which cannot excite surprise, seeing that, as most discounters ask now 7 to 7! per cent. on the• best bills, the Bank of Eneland is still the cheapest place at which the public can supply themselves. If holders of money continue, as they are now doing, to keep it back, and the pub lic continue to borrow in excess of their actual requirements, both parties actuated by a common impression th►t the rate of money is going to 8 per cent., their joint action will certainly have that very effect ; the Bank will not be able to bear the continued pressure, and the minimum will at once be raised. The present is just one of Mg B 3 those momenta when, ifthe phnap ie, the public themselves " ilkor make a " I in the Bank rate. In faai we believe . 'tint It is just now in the power of any large capitalist in the City of London to put the Bank rate up to 8 per cent, at any hour be may please by the presentation of one or two large parcels of bills, unwilling though the directors evidently are to press upon the commercial interest more heavily than necessity requires.

President Lincoln replied through Mr. Gresly that the Federal government would receive and meet on liberal terms any proposition embracing the restoration Of peace, the integrity of the union, and the abandonment of slavery, coming from the authority controlling the rebel army. Messrs. Clay and Holcomb emphatically declined visiting Washington, Mr. Lincoln's answer pre cluding negotiations by prescribing conditions of peace. If peace could only be secured by submis sion to terms of conquest, the generation was yet unborn that would witness the restoration of peace. It is reported that Sherman has occupied Atlanta.

The government applies them where it listeth. It is vain to say that nothing can be more innocent, more legitimate, more indispensable than an electoral meeting. It is vain to say that there is nothing blamable in choosing a candidate, recommending one's friends to vote for him, and writing to one's friends in the provinces. The conclusive answer of the French law is that all these things are illegal whenever the executive power chooses to hold them so. 4t is idle to plead that there was nothing blameworthy in the meetings incriminated. Why, of course, if there had been the defendants wouldnot have been accused simply of holding an illegal meeting. They would have been indicted for a conspiracy, rebellion, in surrection, or something of the sort. The govern ment speaks in effect to the defendants just like the brutal porter who struck a child in the face, and when the infant expostulated, "I did nothing to you," replied, " Why if you had I should have served you a great deal worse." Let MM. Carnot, Gamier Pages, and their fellow delinquents be thankful, therefore, that their meeting was the moat innocent in the world, but let them not, there fore, flatter themselves that it was legal. I find in M. Paradol's very clever article in this week's Courrier du Dimonehe another passage worth citing. Speaking of the decision of a law court that the Prefect of Police cannot be prose cuted for the grossly illegal confiscation of the Duke d'Aumale's " History of the House of Conde" without the authorisation of the Council of State, K Paradol pleasantly says that as a friend of progress he is delighted to see how much modern France is in advance of imperial Rome. In Rome, under the Cresars, there werel two sorts of justice—one administered by the praetors and tribunals and the other by the Emperor and the military tribunals. It was no uncommon thing to see a Roman matron approach a judge and thus address him :—" Prater, my house has been illegally invaded ; they have taken away a statue and a manuscript, laid hands on my husband, and carried him off to a distant island." " Who did it 1" said the Pretor. "It was a centurion, sent by the Prince." "Oh," said the Pretor, "if he was sent by the Prince, I have nothing to do with it. Lictor, call the next case." Now the progress which K Paradol notes, after eighteen hundred years of civilisation, is that a suitor in the present day, instead of being sent absolutely empty away, is told that he may ask leave of the Council of State to prosecute his oppressor. He may ask the prince to redress his own justice through a council of state of his own nomination, and if it pleases him the thing may be done, though, to say the truth, this does not very often happen. It is a curious fact that when Benjamin Constant drew up the "addi tional act" in the last days of Napoleon's reign, he obtained a promise which was committed to writing in Article 50, that the law which prohibited func tionaries from being brought to justice without the permission of the Council of State should be " modi fied." The present reign has been distinguished by the realisation of a great many forgotten ideas and promises of Napoleon L His legacies have been paid to the great astonishment of his old servants ' , or their heirs ; he has been buried in the Inva lid/a, as he wished ; his statue on the column in the Place Vendome is clothed in a Roman toga, as he wished. Why should not Benjamin Constant's promise in his name, "the beet that the Emperor ever made to France," be now likewise realised M. Paradol illustrates the sort of justice which French citizens may now get against function aries by putting the following case :—lf the Prefect of the Police, merely because be did not like the look of him, were to order him (K Para dol) to be thrown into the Seine, he would, as soon as he got out of the water, go straight to the ordin ary law courts, and he makes little doubt that they would do him justice ; but if in throwing him inso the Seine the Prefect of Police had acted under the orders of the Minister of the Interior, or even of the Minister of Public Instruction, or any other lawful superior, then—remembering the doctrine of the court in the Duke d'Aumale's case—M. Para dol, if he were lucky enough to escape drowning, would go humbly to the Council of State, well knowing that the common law was not for him. An electoral meeting at Marseilles was lately dis solved by the police. Several eminent advocates of that city were present at it. The criminal chamber of the Court of Caseation rendered yesterday a very important judgment, mirabile dicta, in favour of the liberty of the press —or, rather, the liberty of private writing, which the government has lately attempted to bring within the press laws. There are in Paris a number of ex-journalists, who write correspondence on polygraphic sheets to various journals in the provinces, and this accounts for the phenomenon which now and then attracts notice of the same article appearing simultaneously "from our own correspondent" at Nantes and Marseilles, at Lyons and Bordeaux. This kind of contribu tion to journalism has gone on with impu nity, subject, of course, to the responsibility of printers and editors, ever since the coup &Etat. But some months ago the government took it into its head to prosecute two correspondents of this class—MM. de St. Cheron and de Clairbois ; on the ground that they were obnoxious to the coup d'etat decree of Feb. 17, 1852, inasmuch as they had " published " periodical writings treating of political matters without permission. The Cor rectional Tribunal of the First Instance found them guilty, and sentenced them to a month's imprisonment and fines of 100 fr. each. This sentence was confirmed by the Court of Ap- 1 peal ; and at the hearing before the Court ' of Caseation, the public minister, M. Bedarrides, argued strenuously that any periodical writing whatever, even although not on polygraphic sheets, but in a simple private letter, was within the scope of the decree. This monstrous doctrine is how ever, now overruled by the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court, which holds that a manuscript communication addressed to the editor of a news paper, and to be by him used or not as he may please, is not a publication of political matter within the meaning of the decree of 1852. This decision is, however, not conclusive. The Court of Caseation, according to its invariable practice, when it quashes a judgment, sends the case to be tried de novo before another appeal court of co-ordinate jurisdiction with the appeal court of Paris. Should the second appeal court be of the same opinion as the first, the case must be heard before the three chambers of the Court of Cease lion united, and their judgment alone will be final. If the government can reckon upon a majority of the judges of the Court of Caseation it will cer tainly go on to the last resort. The present judg ment is a most diragreeable check, for as long as it remains unreversed, it convicts the government of au attempt to strain its own harsh laws against free writing to an illegal extent. FRANCE. PARIS, Arcorr 1. Some German newspapers have announced that the Emperor and Empress were about to make a tour in Alsace and Lorraine. This statement is denied in official quarters.

(nor on owe coi PARIS, SUNDAY EV111.1,10. Although the Pay., the principal semi-of idal evening journal, repeats the news that Lord Claren don has gone to Vichy, I believe it is not true, and that his lordship left Paris direct for Wiesbaden. In this case all the hypotheses based upon an ap proaching interview between the Emperor Napo leon and Lord Clarendon fall to the ground. The projected journey of the Empress to Vichy will not take place. Her Msjesty remains at St. Cloud till the Emperor's return on August G. M. Jules Simon's name appears in the list of emnsel for the thirteen " who are to be tried this week for holding an illegal meeting of more than twenty persons. The fact is, M. Simon is not an advocate, but he was willing to under take the defence of M. Clamergan ; and in France any person, although not called to the bar, may, by consent of the president of the court, defend an accused party. Such per mission is rarely refused. In the present case, how ever, M. Dobignie, the judge upon whom devolves the delicate task of trying the thirteen, has thought fit to intimate to M. Jules Simon that he ail] not hear him. In the Courrier du Dimanche, M. Prevost Paradol, without entering into the famous arithme tical question, which, however, is a prominent topic in the icuillefon of yesterday's Independence Beige, expresses the opinion that the thirteen are most undoubtedly guilty of a misdemeanour, and that it is well for all France to know that such is the law. There is no exception in favour of electoral meetings. In answer to the rancho ad absurdum that every ball, wird., and dinner of more than 20 persons must be equally illegal, M. Paradol replies boldly that they certainly are so. They are merely tolerated just as the government tolerated electoral meetings in 1863. But if it is pleased to withhold this toleration in 1864 there is nothing to be said. It is just the same in regard to laws against duel ling, against immoral books, and against the usur pation of titles of nobility. The government was EXECUTION FOR MURDER.-(THIS DAY.) The last dread sentence of the law was carried into effect at 8 o'clock this morning at Newpte, upon Frederick Charles Bricknell, a young man only 23 yam of age, who was convicted at the July mission of the Patna Criminal Court of the wilful murder of a female named Jane Jerry, about his own age, for whom he appears to have entertained the vested affection, the dread of her becom ing the wife of another having drives him to the commission of the mid crime. He was, as will be remembered, waiter at a tavern at the New Metropolitan Oattle Market, and the deceased was em- ployed in the same establishment. She wee stated to be • girl of prepossessing appearance, and for some time, no doubt, she reciprocated the regard shown for her by the prisoner. There does not appear to be airy positive proof that she had absolutely *extol his addressee. The wretched young man, however, seems to have suspected that she bad abandoned him, and bestowed her affection upon another, a canna of her own, and in a moment of jealous passion he stabbed the unhappy girl, causing her almost immediate death. Immediately afterwards he said he was glad be had done it, for, as be could not have her himself, he was determined that no one else should, and from that moment he was utterly resigned to the conse quences of his act. He seems to have behaved remarkably well both before and since his conviction, and his quiet and resigned de meanour evoked • great deal of sympathy in the breasts of those who were about him. For some time he entertained the extraordinary notion that his death would be the means of uniting him with the object of his affections. and rather to have courted the event than otherwise. He was visited on Friday for the last time by his father and sister, and this was the only occasion on which his firmness at all deserted him. After his father had left he resumed the quiet and calm demeanour that bad characterised him from the commencement, and appeared quite prepared for his fate. On several ooresions he expressed his deep sorrow for the crime he had committed, but said that at the moment his feelings entirely overcame him, and he was wholly unable to control himself. Since he baa been in confinement he has paid the utmost attention to the religions exhortations of the Rev. Mr. Davis, the Ordinary of Newgate. The culprit went to bed at 10 o'clock last night, and slept soundly until 5 o'clock this morning, when he got up and dressed himself, and soon afterwards he was visited by the Mr. Davis, who remained with him for a considerable time. Shortly before 8 o'clock Mr. Sheriff Nissen. Mr. Sheriff Gave, Mr. Under-Sheriff Nicholson, and Mr. Under-Sheriff Gammon arrived at the gaol, sad were received by Mr. Jonas, the governor, the Ordinary, Mr. Humphreys, the principal warder, and the other officials. The pri soner exhibited the most extracedinary firmness. la answer to questions pat to him by Mr. Sheriff Cave he said he felt perfectly aware that he had committed a most aerials crime against the laws both of God and man, and that he deserved to die ; adding that he truly repented of what he bad done, and that he hoped that, through the merit. of our Saviour, be should resolve pardon from God for hi. offence. Although stated to be 23 years of age, he did not look mote than 20, and his calm and resigned expression of oonntenanee excited a strong feeliog of commiseration in everycoe present. The calmness of the prieoner continued down to the last inosneet. He walked with a firm, quick step through the corridors of the prison, and mounted the sos Hold with- out the knot animate. The preparations on the drop were soon completed, and when the platform fell the wretched culprit appeared to be dead almost in an instant. There wee a much larger number of persons present than was anticipated, and their behaviour, generally speaking, was very orderly and becoming. When the drop fell some female in the crowd gave a load shriek. The scaffold, is is now the custom, was hung round with black cloth, so that very little more than the had of the culprit wan to be seen. After hanging an hour the body was cut down, and in the afternoon it was buried within the prison. MILITARY AMUSEMENTS AT MALTA. The Malta Times publishesa long account of some di turbans which took place at Valetta on the night of Friday, the 15th of July. The disorder, it is stated, bad its origin in the misconduct of one or two young military oat ten, said to belong to the 22nd Regiment, who were the worse for, liquor. "On the evening referred to, than was, in honour of the festivity of the Mahan& del Carmine, grand illumination on the Piazza Sea Giio (in front of the Governor's pleas), when • military played for the amusement of the sasembled public, and all the spproashis to the Carmelite church containing the shrine of this much worshipped madonna, were also lighted up. At about half. pest ten one or two officals were seen to amuse thimaelves in lifting up, with • hooked stick, the capacious outer garments of some highly respectable native ladies, ' with whom they also, as if by accident, contrived to come into contact, sad whose flounces were wastonly rent thereby. Such ungentlemanly °Deduct naturally drew forth the ire of " Young Malta ;" blows ware struck, and to use • pugilistic term claret was drawn. 011ioan of the army and navy cams to the rescue of their brethren in arms, soldiers sad Milan to the aid of their officer,, on the one side, whilst the Maltese, by far the most numerous, sided with their country men, and to our way of thinking on this occasion in • good sad just cause. From little detached knots of combatants the fight got general, increasing from tens to hundreds, and at • quarter past eleven some two thousand people were amusing themmdves in breaking each other's heads sad ' shins with the legs and arms of • number of chain which at the onset had been hurriedly roosted by • number of ladies seated on the square, listening to the dulcet strains of the bead, and sipping Shunt's and Said's delicious ices and cooling beverages. " The few polio& in such a crowd could not be expected to do much, and so it would seem his Excellency the governor thought, for, after witnessing from the palace Woozy the commencement of the fight, and, deprived of the services of his military, civil and private secretory, Major Brett, who happened to be dieing out at Slimy' he majestically desosoded the palace stairaise, and valiantly walked right into the thick of the row, thinking that his personal pat ellae* aloes would have proved sufficient to sliest its further progress. In this however his Excellency was grievously disappointed, and it was soon manifest that he would have done bettor to have remained in the palace balcony, or con tented himself with merely coming down and removing from the square the female members of his family. " On the governor's reentering the palace, orders were despatched by the governor to St Elmo and Florian barracks for reinforcements, and the square was thereupon cleared by the military, but it was past one o'clock before tranquillity was gamed. " Several arrests, as well of English officers as of natives, were made at the time by the police, but all these were set at liberty next moraine. We have since heard that two of the lower orders (Maltese of course) have been condemned to several weeks' imprisonment for resisting the police, but we do not hear that either the officers who commenced the disturbance, or others, English as well as Maltese, who, by taking the law into their own hands, fanned the flame into • blaze. and who are all welt-known, have been summoned before the magistrate." MELANCHOLY DEATH or • YOUNG LADY.—The ishabitanto of the town of &output, Woresedenhire, have been greatly alarmed by the discovery in the caul of the body of Mies Jane Worth, the daughter of Mr. William Henry Worth, carpet manufacturer, of Kidderminster, and who met her death under very melancholy circumstances.

Her father is dead, and her mother was away from home. I saw nothing more of hes till the was found in the canal basin. Miss Mary Ann Worth. the sister, said that her mother was visiting in London, and the deceased and herself and a female servant were alone at home. When the deceased came home witness said that she was very late, and if she had thought that she would not have been home earlier, she should have had the latch key.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. )111 AID ANDIOLOOM -TB! • "RS 1101 T This sue was resumed this morning. It war a divoros instituted by Vice-Admhal Henry John Codneg. too against his wife, Helen Jane Codrington, for her antr a l adultery with Lieutenant-Colonel David Anderson, of ti e 22nd Foot, and Lieutenant Herbert St. John Mild:nay, of the 3rd Battalion of the Rifle Brigade. The respoodeta denied the charge, and pleaded that the petitioner had be e , guilty of neglect ad misconduct conduciog to adultery. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, and D T. Spinks for the petitioner ; the Queen's Advocate, Ur. Hawkins, Q.C., awl Mr. Inderwack for the respoodeat • Mr. Price, Q 0., and Dr. Swabey for the 00-respondent. On Saturday Mrs. Watson, the wife of the Rev. .1 o,baa Watson, and formerly the bosom friend of the reepoodeac, gave important evidence for the petitioner. Amooot otter things she made the following statement : " Mrs. Codrington subsequently made another come: at— cation to me. That communication has never yet panel re, lips, as she made me give her an unconscious Praline sot t, =Now she hassubtsvniad mew this court I ay from my promise, sod I am bound to speak tit. truth. She was expected to spend the evening with u rr a the kith of November, 1861. We expected her to tot at ; o'clock, but she did not come till about half-past r. lly husband let her is, and ilatield of corning to the dr.ort oi . room, she went up to my bedroom. She seat word tee; she wanted to speak to me. My husband seat a men age that I could not go as I was ill, and she then came into the room, at down by me on the sofa, and whimper e d that she minted to see me alone. As soon u mss husband went out of the room she buret out age violent agitation, sad said that the climax of evil had strived. She told me that Lieutenant Mikhnsy had covet, the house with her and had asked her to walk with him t e . fare she came in, that they had gone round to the has k of the house, where there were two lanes ; that they bad gem e up one them sad that there the deed was committed. hire hod before asked me not to repeat what she was going to tell, and I had laid, ' Certainly not.' I was horrorotriner.. I felt paralysed and could not soak. She put her had between her hands and said, ' Do you worn and loathe me lam lost.' I did scorn and loathe her ; but I asked myself who was I to cast her off if she was penitent! and I aid, Helen, if you repent I will not out you off.' W e convened fora long time, and she spoke of the lo , e of our bleated Lord for one who had committed the same tie. I thought that that was dangerous, and said, Yes, tot she aimed no more.' After a long conversation ...be wished me good night." At the sitting of the court this morning, TheQuesn't Advocate complained that this portion of Watson's evidence had come upon the defence as a complet e surprise, and he prayed that the further bearing of the eau might be adjourned in order that Mrs. Codrington might have an opportunity of mending to Malta and procuring m e . Whale on which to cross-examine the wham. or to refute the charge. It as eimply Impossible for the respoodeet; meet such an socuastion, sprung upon her, as it had bees, hke a mine. J. P.wad. mid that what the learned counsel oil was perfectly trim, for lira Watson had herself dechred that she bed never died:wad the circnmatenoe to anyone before she stated it is the box. Mr. Hawkins also urged the postponement of the case. Mr. Bova', metre, argued that the particulars which had been furnished to respowleet had been en the usual form. Sir J. I'. Wilde laid that, supposing the converution spoken to by Mrs. Wawa had been known to the petitioter that. 000ld be no doubt that he would be bound to allege that on amitsin day the respondent had committed adultery with Lieut.-Miklmay ; bat of course if the thing ems not known to him—sad Mrs.Wateon herself said she had told no one of it until she was sworn tospeak thetrath—it was impel. Bible for it to be included in the particulars. The court dealt with particulars in a Nameable manner. In this ease there could be no imputation of want of good faith on the part of the petitioner ; the question was,therefore, rather one of the degree of prejadies which Mrs.Codrington's meshed received by this unexpected evidence. Mr. Bovill said that the sole question was whether Mn. Codrington had made the confession to Mrs. Watson ! The petitioner was not bound by all the &Wm ; and even if it could be shown that the fact spoken to was extremely im probable, it would not alter the point really before the court. I namely, the credibility of Mrs. Watson. The Queen's Advocate said it was a question between two persous, of whom in ns could be *end in the 1,1, and the other could not. The only . war to which en innocent woman under such arametaneee could defend herself was by showing that it was imporehle far sea of the kind to have taken place. He the counsel) felt moat conaisetiosely that it would be impossible for him to conduct the crass-examination with any effect, or make hie whines to the jury, or manage Ms defame as he ought if he had one hand tied up in this mac ner, and if he felt the dead weight of the alleged contemn= hanging upon him. At the same time he was instructed that evidev e could be procured from Malta to show that the commente described by Mrs. Watson could not possibly have taken pleas. air J. P. Wilde maid that an adjournment would be a groat evil to both parties; and, moreover, this confession did not go to the whole ewes It was for Mr. Bovill to coo ,eider whether be would sot abandon the charge spinet I Lieutenant Mildewy, and rest his rem upon that respecti ng Clelonal Asthma. Mr. Bov7ll, nether than have an adjournment, would agree to abandons particular ocafesaion. Sir J. P. Wilde was afraid that that would hardly meet the justice, at the one. This was another Wilma* of the ergs that bowed from not allowing the parties to earn for. ward sad give evideoes thenseelvea. The Queue' Advocate—lt is, my lord ; it is a way strong illustration of it. The colsesi for the petitioner then conferred !or a abort time ; after which Mr. Bovill stated that be preferred not to abandon the cam against Lieutenant Madam. The queen's Advocate renewed with equal eatriestasse hi application for a postponement. Sir J. P. WiLle—An adjournment is always to be de plored bat at the same time there are one.. in which it must be retorted to ; and I cannot help coming to the conclusion that the statement which Mrs. Watson has made was most material. It is mid that whether adultery was or wai Dot committed le not the question, and that the question Nally is whether Mrs. Oodruigtoo mad what is attribated to her. But, looking more closely at the matter, that is not so. Suppose it could be 'hewn that adalter/=ld e not possibly leave bees smansiMed, as alleged, either Liesessent Midway was sot cos the island at the tans in question, or for some other reason, then one of two things most follow : either lira. Coariegton did net make the Matement to Nis. Watson, or she was is the habit of making statements to her which were not true. In . either case the result would bemoan material to the respondent. If she did sot make the Maintain, the credibility*, the 114L . w es ho is the chief witoom against her, and whose . to doubt prawn most heavily upon her, as rupee Lieutenant Miklmay, would be seriously shakes. On the other hand. if she did make the statement and it is not true, it would throw peat doubt upon the other stories which she had told Mn. Watson. The whole difficulty flows from Mrs. Waitron having kept back the steamiest from a desire to keep her •• to the rewpoe dent. I was in hopes that the on might possible go on because this alleged ecafensim did not Is any way &Hoe the cam of Colonel Anderson. and that the petitioner might be willies to rest the matter upon that. I cannot, however, say that the admiral's 'driven were wrong is not Liam that mural ; and there is no alterna tive but to postpone the cam till mid term. After some oonvenatiou it was adjourned till the 9th of November, the respondent having pernmaion to take out 00011111.kla to examine witnesses at Yalta, end the yeti timer having also leave to join is it. Dr. Swahey expired a hope that hi client would not be prejudiced is the matter of meta. Sir J. P. Wilde would sot be disposed to overlook the peculiar circumstances of the alas, if an applicatioo Were ever made to him on the subject . He thought an arrange ' went ought to be cane to that, in the meet of one Or AVM of the jams being absent, when tie court mot again, the owe might be tried with the remainder. Mr. &twill and the Queen's Advocate agreed to put them selves in the bands of the wart in the event of anything the kind happening. The further bearing of the can was then adjourned 01.1 the 9th of November. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Mon Yr. Oaannieskiser Goo'bare.)
