LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17. THE very statesmanlike speech of M. VISCONTI VENOSTA, late Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, and primarily responsible, in that capacity, for the preliminaries of the Convention of September 15 ; the straightforward declarations and generous avowals of General Ls Ktamor.a, now First Minister in the Cabinet which has identified its existence with the acceptance of the Convention by the Chamber and the country ; the far-reaching considerations adduced iu its favour by M. PEPOLI, who was the actual negotiator of the Convention in Paris, appear ou the whole to have succeeded marvellously in the doubly delicate and difficult task of satisfying at once the susceptibilities of the Italians and of the French EMPEROR, and in reducing M. Deorvx uE LIIUTS and other open or disguised advocates of the Temporal Power to silence. These remarkable speeches have removed the debates in the Chamber high out of the region of paradox and violence, of local jealousies and sectional interests. Nor, in spite of unusual provocations and temptations, has the reputation of the Italian representatives for tact and temper in critical emergencies belied itself for a single moment since this great discussion began. No political assembly in the world could have behaved ou such an occasion with more dignity and moderation, or shown a juster sense of its re sponsibilities and its prerogatives. Those e ho are aware of the suppressed bitterness which many even among the supporters of the Convention feel at its secret preparation and sudden announcement, and at the interpretations it has received from the French Foreign-office, can not fail to be impressed by the self-restraint even of independent speakers in the Chamber. Yet there has been no lack of boldness or sincerity in the objectors, and it is probable enough that the excited pntriotiem and the jealous appeals to national pride in which certain members of the Opposition have indulged, have not proved alto gether incouveMent or unserviceable to the go- vernment. It was in the nature of th;ngs that such a Convention should, on its own merits, be harshly judged even by many unpre judiced Italiats ; even by many who were most anxious for the evacuation of Rome by the French troops, who considered a change of capital de sirable both on civil and military grounds, and who were ready to acknowledge that the Roman question is one that ctnnot be solved by force. They might insist that, as to the evacuation of Rome by France, the occupation of that city was in its beginning an act of bad faith on the part of the French government, a stain upon the honour of the Finch the!, a flagrant violation of the prin ciple of non-intervention and of national rights, which it belonged to the French EMPEROR to cancel unconditionrlly ; and that as to the transfer of the capital of i tall c irons Turin to some more central city, that was a .1 aestion of purely domestic policy, and not within the jurisdiction of diplomacy. All such objections as these, however,resolve themselves into a not unwholesome impatience of the dictation of an indispensable and o . ..erpowering ally ; and it is creditable to the good taste of many conscientious deputies to have repressed them. But there is another class of objectors whose dislike of the Con vention resolves itself into an ineradicable—and who shall say can i ustifiable !—distrust of the Second Empire; so that it was not or'y !tom the representa tives of Turin that the authors of the Convention might expect hostilities. There is no arguime with undefined suspicions, or with a rooted antipiithy and distrust ; and ail that M. V; ~N n V EN , -r A, General LA MAR Nl"Rii, and 31. i'l.l .1.1 could do to combat opposition of this kind was to slier their own indisputable good faith and patriotism, their own unassailable character and Berries, as pledges for the character and purpose of the Convention. General La Maum•iiie, indeed, went further, and pledged his belief, foonfii•il on personal knowledge and ex• perience, iu t!, favourable intentions of the French ENIPEItuII. Vi-. • i NTS VENI , STA, taking a statesman's surrey of the European horizon, and trained to treat politics as a science of exigencies, of compromises, and of oppor tunities, fixes the attention of the Parliament upon that clause of the Convention which stipulates the evacuation of Route within two years, and which implicitly and explicitly affirms the principle of non-intervention as applicable even to the Papal Government, PI Irirst as the Papal Government remains a temporal as well as a spiritual power, and subject to the vicissitudes of temporal powers. The Court of Rome will be left face to face with its subjects, and then the crucial experiment will begin. It is of.the last importance to Italy that this crucial experiment should be fairly carried out in the face of Europe, and of the whole Catholic world, and of the nineteenth century. 'lt is not for the Italian Government to pronounce before hand on the probable result of the experiment. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 17, 1884; Whether France, having once retired from Rome, will go back ; whether any other Power will be permitted to take the place of France as the Indexer of the Temporal Power which France will have abandoned ; whether M. DROVER DE LIMES will be Foreign Minister of the Second Empire two years hence ; whether the Liberal or the Clerical party will be the stronger in the councils of the Second Empire and in the public opinion of Europe when the Temporal Power is put upon its trial; these are questions for the future ; our pre sent concern is to secure the signature of France to a treaty which applies the principle of non-interven tion to Rome. Civilization and progress will do the rest, if we are true to ourselves and to the destinies of our country.' Such in substance, though not in words, is M. Viscown VsNosrs's interpretation of the Convention of September 15. M. Prrou enlarges upon the same theme in very striking language. Familiar as he must be with the dispo sitions and tendencies that prevail in the councils of the French EMPEROR, he declares that the Convention asserts the stability and unity of Italy, because the transfer of the capital is a pledge that the EMPEROR abandons the idea of a Federa tion ; he scorns the rumour of new cessions of ter ritory ; he sees in the French signature to the Convention the recovery of liberal ideas in France, and a security for the alliance of Liberal Europe ; and since Rome is the centre of European reaction, he discerns in the advance of all the forces of liberty towards Rome, in the de molition of " feudal Rome " throughout free Italy, not only the settlement of the Roman question, but " the liberty of the world." It should not be forgotten that no Italian statesman has done so much as M. Pteou to demolish what he well calls "feudal Rome " in the laws of Italy ; no Italian statesman has a better right to be trusted when he urges that Rome must be surrendered to moral force alone. M. Pxvou is probably convinced that the only possible mode of reconciliation of the Temporal Power with Italy is in the Temporal Power ceasing to exist, and therefore, with all the energy of his convic tions, he confidently recommends to the Italian l'arliament a policy of reconciliation. and nuns are allowed to be instructors of youth with no other license than " letters of obedience" from the superior of the order to which they belong. Hence the wretched pay given for the most part to accomplished governesses, who are everywhere undersold by nuns frequently grossly ignorant. Many scandalous trials have disclosed not only the immorality, but the crassid ignorance of monks to whom parents, on the recommendation of priests, are induced to confide their children. All this shocking inequality is now to be put an end to. Clerical instructors and governesses are to be sub jected to the like examination as lay ones, and the Hotel de Vile is now crowded everyday with monks and nuns desirous to pass. They are, for the most part, ao ill-informed that it has been found necessary to lower the standard of the examinations, in order to avoid re jecting them by wholesale. The lay teachers will benefit—if a benefit it can be called— by the relaxed roles, but a whole generation of children will have worse guarantees for good in struction in order to accommodate the religious orders. This is the weak part of the measure, but it is to be hoped that gradually the examina tions will be restored to the old standard. LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

The deceased, So annah Lock, was killed on the above line from a collision that took place between Ramsgate and Margate, owing, a was alleged, to an insufficiency of break power, and it WS/ sought to make the defendant liable because he had allowed one of the guards to leave the train before the train had reached its destination. He moved on th• as grounds first that the proceedings were corom non indica secondly, declining to receive evidence ; and thirdly, that the inquisition was bad upon the face of it.

Mr. Temple, Q.C., moved, pursuant to the leave reserved in arrest of judgment in this case on points of law with re• ference to the evidence, and also that the indictment was bad. The prisoners were tried at Liverpool before the Lord Chief Justice and found guilty for being concerned in en listing men for the Confederate States. The questions to be submitted to the court were of great importance, and it WWI very desirable that they should be fully discussed. The Lord Chief Justice (interrupting the learned coun sel) mid there could be no doubt the points referred to ought to be discussed, and he thought it could be done when the prisoners were brought up for judgment. The learned counsel might consider that he had moved and bad obtained his rule, and argue it when the prisoners were brought up. elt Coun. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov.

It wee curious to see in quiet domestic life that clan without whom in all probability Sebastopol would have fallen seven months before it did ; but, at the same time, in entertaining one who hal been a gallant enemy, it was gratifying to find that be made it a point to confess io every way his respect for the English army and for the vigour andendnraoce of the English people.

(PIOE OUS OEN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS. WEDNESDAY EVOUNG. The Bourse continues heat' , ; this is the third day of the fall. Rents declined 15c. both for cash end account, closing at 64fr. 90c. and 64fr. &c. Mobilier fell 3fr. 75c. In railways very little busi ness was done, and; quotations are only a trifle lower. Commercial failures are greatly talked of ; it is said that two houses have gone at Lyons, with liabilities amount' ig to 16 or 18 millions. Some bills have been protested at Havre, and the announcement of failures there is apprehended. The Italian loan continues weak ; it does not appear to be certain that MM. Rothschild have actually signed the contract for the railways, although little doubt is felt that they will do so. Whether the reduction in the price originally spoken of is to be 10 or 20 millions, on account of the shock to the money market catsed by the transfer of th 4 capital to Florence, is a moot point. The effect of the completion of the contract will be, it is thought, to relieve Signor Sella from the painful necessity of persisting in his unpopular scheme of levying taxes by anticipation. A Paris letter in the Salut Public of Lyons, says : It is still said that M.Drouyn de Lhuys only wait' for the close of the diacuasion in the Turn parliament to publish some more despatches—viz.: 1. One to M. Maleret, more precise and more categorical than that of the 30th of October, pub , ished by the Mt.niteur. 2. A fresh note to M. de F I 1, a copy of which has been dalivend to Cardinal Antooelli. 3. A circular despatch to all the catholic powers, in which it is laid down that the temporal power, within its present limits, remains guaranteed by France, and which contains overtures to Austria, Spain, and Bavaria, to request them to examine with France the propriety of placing the authority of the Pope under the collective guarantee of the catholic powers. 4. Lastly, a despatch, the most important of all, in which the French Minister of Foreign Affairs successively takes up the principal paragraphs of the preamble of the ball pre. noted to the Italian parliament for the removal of the ca pital, extenuating some and refuting others, to prevent Italy from availing herself of the silence of France to WU` striae the treaty according to her own wishes. . . There is, however, a very credible rumour that the Emperor, wishing to leave General Latuarmora the last word for the present, and to put a atop to discussions of the convention in the French paper, will so far curb M. Drouyu de Lhuys' catholic zeal as to make him postpone the publication of his new despatches until the appearance of the "yellow book." Moreover, there is reason to believe that nothing in the despatches themselves need alarm the friends of Italy. A few days ago it was said that the Empress of Russia had derived great benefit from her stay at Nice, but recent letters tell quite a contrary story. They say that the climate does not agree with Ler, and that she has been advised to go to Pau, since Pisa, for which she had a predilection, is con sidered ineligible on political grounds. I have real pleasure iu congratulating the French government—and more especially the Minister of Public Instruction—on an important reform which I understand has been decided upon. School masters and governesses have, heretofore, had to struggle against a scandalous privilege which the church had contrived to secure for the religious orders. While no lay person can act as a teacher in France without obtaining • certificate of quali fication by passing • severe examination, monks ALLEGED RECRUITING FOR THE FEDERAL ARlll'. (FROII OCR COMULSPONDINT.) LIVERPOOL, WintUsDat. Late on Tuesday night Mr. Kehoe, the Superinten dent of the Liverpool Detective Police, received a letter from Mr. George Underwood, the proprietor of the Sef ton Fonndry, in Liverpool, stating that upwards of 180 men and lads had been inveigled from Aahtoo.under-Lyne, and 30 more from London, by a Federal recruiting agent, who had intended to get them on board the Great Western, then lying iti the Came% Dock, and bound for New York. Mr. Underwood added that, suspecting the real object of the expedition, he had warned the men, and that the greater number of those from Ashton had thereupon refused to proceed, and had ac cepted his (Mr. Underwood's) offer of temporary shelter. Mr. Kehoe sent an officer to make inquiries, and yesterday morning the information collected was place d in the hands of the deputy town clerk, Mr. Cnrwood, who pursued the investigation during the day with a view to legal proceedings. It appears that placards have been published at Ashton and elsewhere, inviting young men to go out to New York, the inducement being per. manent employment in a large glass manufactory at 15.. ' per week, with food and clothing, and it is said that 300 of them accepted the offer. When the first batch, numbering about 180, from 16 to 30 years of age, arrived at the Sefton. street Station at Liverpool, it was dark, and carts were in waiting to carry them to the Canada Duck. Some dispute occurred between the men who were hungry, and the agent who promised that they would find plenty to eat on board the Great Western ; and the altercation attracted the at tention of Mr. Unde rwood, and led to his interference. The inquiries made yesterday disclosed only such facia as warrant the belief that the men were intended recruits ; and it is doubtful at present whether the agents have brought themselves legally within the range of the Foreign Enlistment Act. However, about four or five hun dred men—collected from London, Ashton, Liverpool, and some from abroad—were yesterday on board the Great Western and the vessel left the dock for the river, prepa ratory to sailing for New York. The Ashton men mention the name of a Mr. Shaw, who has been active in inducing them to join this glue-making expe dition. This gentleman's brother, who is said to have been in communication with some of the London men, has been out to the United States and recently returned ; and it is further said that they are both passengers on board the Great Western. One of them is mentioned as the per son who paid the fare of th- Ashtoo men by rail to Liverpool. The men from London were induce d to enter into the affair by the appearance of an advertisement iu the Clerkemeell Neel and several morning papers, directing them to inquire at some place of meeting in Westminster. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. ^ • • • • • •• • • - The Great Western has been iiXerdicted from proceeding on her voyage until an investig►tion can be made. She is at present in the river, as required by the Emigration Act. She is an American ship, the property of Megan Baring Brothers, and is commanded by Captain Cunningham. The agents in Liverpool are Messrs. Guion and Co. Fifty two men, of whom seven are from London, nine from Staly bridge, and the rest from Ashton-nodes-Lyre, have re ported themselves to the police, and remain here, having no means to return to their homes, and no disposition to prosecute their trip to America. Five of them are labourers, one a clerk, one • type-founder, one a cabman, one • brick layer, three miners, one • painter, and the rest factory hands. They will be accommodated at the workhouse to night ; and an application ou their behalf will be made to Mr. Rattles, the stipendiary magistrate, to-morrow. All the Ashton mon state that they were engaged by Mr. lingh Shaw ; the Staly bridge men name the same person ; five of the London men say Mr. Startia, or Stantan, engaged them ; end the other two London men name • Mr. Leicester as the agent who induced them to go out. At the Ashton-under-Lyne borough magistrates' meeting, yesterday, Mr. George DalgHash, chief constable, said be wished to call the attention of the bench to a system which was alleged to have been carried on to Ashton-under•Lyne and the district, of employing young men to go to work in a glass works in New York. Eighty youeg men had left Ashtou on the previous night, and, from what he bad beard, he suspected that they were taken away for the purpose of being drafted into the Northern army. Mr. Dalgliesh then referred to an article and a letter, signed George Under wood, which appeared in the Liverp o ol Mercury of yes terday morning, and said be read a conversation with one of the agents, who had told him that the firm in New York Lad engaged 300 young men in London, but that the crimp, had got hold of them in New York, and had drafted them into the army. The magistrates' clerk said he supposed these young men hid not been accustomed to work in g'assworks. Mr. Deistic& said they bad not, and he understood a majority of them had not a penny is their pockets. He had been told they had been offered Fidols. per month. He further said that he understood there had been an agent in the district engag ing young men, who gave the name of Roupell or Russell, leiden.lane, New York. He bed, however, it was alleged, left the district ; and Mr. Hugh Shaw, Stalybridge-road, was said to be acting for him, and his (Shaw's) brother to have accompanied the young men to Liverpool on Tuesday. He bad been informed that the agent had been told to look at the teeth of the young men engaged. The magistrates' clerk further advised Mr. Dilgliesh to see the mayor as to the dtairabl of r_UTlllllolllog a meetiug of the magistrates relative to this subject, and Mr. Da igliesh said he would do se. The matter then dropped. Oar correspondent writes that only 80 met left Ashton on Tuesday, and not no, as mentioned in the Mc reury. Several of them were men of 40 to tO years of age, but the majority were between 10 and 20. On Tuesday a woman applied at the Ashton police-otfice to interfere to prevent her son, 10 years of age, leaving home, stating that be had beenlured to go to America ; but the police dud not see bow they could interfere. The Liverpool Mrrerry states that Ashton hat been placarded offering young men work in New York ; but the chief constable of Aslitoe, our correspondent, and several other persons likely to have seen such placards if any. have never seen or heard of one. Our correspondent understands that Hempel' or Russell, when engaging the young men, strongly urged that, if they were drafted into the army at New York, he would receive their pay from the Federal government until he had been reimbursed all expenses, stating that the Federal government allowed him to make such au arrangement. He also, it is alleged, &aimed those he engaged that, it they got drunk, they were certain to be got hold of by the crimps, and would be drafted into the army. The motive of these representations may be easily understood as s blind though appearing prima facie as a proof of a bona ps , le engagement to go to the glaasworks alluded to. The suspicion in the district is now general that the engagements were not canna .fide. When the men were leaving Stalybridge and Ashton, the crowd cried out that they were going for soldiers. There is little doubt this alleged attempt to violate the En• listment Act in Ashton-uoder•Lyne and the neighbourhood will receive the serious attentiou of the magistrates and be thoroughly investigated THE EARTHQCASE IN MENlCO.—Respecting the earthquake, the Con tittition rid supplies the following additional particulars:—" In the capital the oscillations, which were brut from north to south. and then from east to west, were followed by that trembling movement which renders such phenomena so formidable. Some old buildings io the suburbs fall to the ground, but no loss of life took place. At Puebla the consequences were more serious. A letter from that town, dated the 3rd, mates that the earthquake lasted from 2S to 30 second.. The cupola and a part of the tower of the church of San-Augustin, the sculptured shield in front of the pelves • portion of the Convent of Sen. Juan de Dios, and a large number of homes, all fell to the ground. The total number of victims was not known, but seveuteen French soldiers were killed or wounded, and twenty-nice of the inhabitants had been taken to the hos pital more or Ices severely hurt. According to telegraphic despatches received io the capital the earthquake was felt with move or lees violence on the whole line of the route from Vets Cruz, especially at Acultaingo, Palma, Orizaba, C.rdovs, and Lit P.oledad. A communication from Telma. can mentions that great damage was done in that town. Nearly all the belfries in the place and the town hall he in ruins, and a large number of houses were in • tottering con ditio• ; the inbabitaate have almost all left the tows. At Orizaba a church tower, recently erected, was thrown down, sod the walls of • number of homes remain in • dangerous state." THE REV. Da. LA a.—The services of the Rev.

Sittings in B Loco. —(Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock and Baron Bramwell, Chappell, and Pigott.) MILLER V. sIIKE.—BETTING MEN. . . This action was brought by a commission agent connected with the turf, to recover from the defendant, who kept betting booths at different races, • sum of rag, which he swore he lent him upon Epsom Downs on the Oaks Day. The plaintiff gave a very circumstantial account of the truer/action, but the defendant positively denied that he asked for the loan or received the money. The trial took place at Cambridge before Mr. Baron Bramwell, when the jury believed the defendant's story, and gave • verdict for him. During the present term Mr. Keane, C., on behalf of the plaintiff. obtained • rule to set aside the verdict sod for • new trial, and it now came on for argument. It appeared from the plaintiff's affidavits that he gave the money to the defendant in notes, but took no receipt, and that some of these Dotal had been traced to • person named Gray, who said he had obtained them from the defendant the day after the Oaks, but re fused to make an affidavit to that effect, on the ground that it was • transaction between betting man, who settled their disputes without recourse to law. Mr. Metcalfe, on behalf of the defendant, showed cause against the rule, and submitted that the plaintiff ought to have given this evidence as to the notes at trial, and that, having omitted to do so, the defendant ought not to be ex posed to the risk and expense of • new trial. The Lord Chief Baron—Does Gray make an affidavit on the part of the defendant ? Mr. Metcalfe—He makes an affidavit on neither side. Mr. Keane said he could have applied to one of their lordships to compel him to make an affidavit, but the plaintiff allowed the four days allowed by the court for that purpose to pan by without taking any steps in the matter. Mr. Baron Bramwell—Do von, Mr. Metcalfe, in your affidavits, give any explanation of this m►tter as to the notes? Mr. Metcalfe rid he did cot. The Court said that under those circumstances they must make rule for a new trial absolute—the costs to abide the event. Rule absolute. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) CODRINGTON P. CODRLNGTOX AND •'DIRBON. I This extraordinary case, of which • fall summary will be found on page 1, was resumed this morning. Mrs. Watson was ernes-examined by the Queen's Advo- I cat& She said—My husband is • clergyman, but he has no I benefice at present. The plan produced, showing the posi tion of Admiral Codrineton's house and my husband's at Malts, is correct. I made the admiral's acquaintance in July, 1841. My husband had made • cruise with Captain, now Admiral, Glasse to Beyrout ; and while he was away I met Admiral Codrington at the home of • Meted, Major and Mrs. Armstrong. Mrs. extrinsic° was not present, and I did not see her till August. 1 met her at the house of Mrs. Coro°, • lady who was in suffering and distress. My husband had applied to the admiral for •mistance for her ; and Mrs. Codrington came to see her. Mrs. Codrington and I both watched with her. We watched together wirers' times. While she was there Colonel Gower came to the house. I saw him there. Colonel and dire. Mitford also came very oft**. They came to see Mrs. Oodrington and myself. The very first night Mn. Codrington came, she and I had an explanation. There bad been no quarrel. I did not approve of Colonel Gower's coming in the middle of the night, and I told her so. We had no quotrel about • nurse, Emma —. I never heard of her. There was no nurse. I had no qtisrrel with Mrs. Clodrington. I may said it was not becoming after our husbands had left that Colonel Gower should come, and I said I would not allow I it. She very kindly told me that she would beg him not to come. We stayed with Mrs. Coxon nine or ten days, after which she went to Eogland. I believe we first went to Mrs. Coxon's on the 17th of August. It was two or three days after then that the respondent told me she must go out and speak to Lieut. Mildmay. On the night when the respondent stated that Lienteneat kft'dmay had made some kind of attempt upon her, she said that her heablead and Miss Horn had been present, I do not recollect when or where she made that statement to me ; nor can I tell when or where she told me, but she awoke and found Lieu. ten►nt Mildmay standing by her. I can only say that it was before the lied of October. I recollect it was on the 30th of November, 1661, that Mn. Codriogton made the confession to me of having committed adultery in a lane, bemuse I made • memoran dum of it is a pocket-handkerchief. I first made • statement on the subject in this box. I never told anyone I had such a statement to make. Ad. miral Codrington 's solicitor asked me questions after the petition Wan filet I do not know when it was filed; but really, as regards these iorenaic terms, I may easily make mistakes. I told the solicitor that I could cot make any statement. " Why not ?" said he. "Be ll muse I have given a promise." "But your oath will re lease you from that promise." "When the oath is adrainis. tared it shall release me, but I will not speak before.' (Faint applause.) I was asked the question several times, but I always gave that answer. I should say that she arrived at our house at from 8 to half-past 8 on the night she mado the confession. She wait to my bedroom sod sent for me. I could not go to her, and so she came into the drawing-room. We hail tea and then we went into my bedroom. There were two lanes ; but neither was • cal-de em One of them had • few houses in it, but the other had only two or three farms. I cannot tell whether the lanes were likely to be frequented by persons at about o'clock, but I should say they would rot. It would have taken Mrs. Codrington nearly an hour to come to our house I by the route she described to me. After this confession I continued to visit her for a short time. My renewed inti macy with her did not last more than • mouth at the out side. I did not subscribe myself, "Always her affectionate friend;" certainly not [A letter was handed to the witness. It was dated May 5, '62, and was so subar-iibed.] I am not aware that I invited her to tea on my birthday in July, 1862. (Au invitation was put in, but there was so date in it.] I do not know whether that was in 1862: but on reflection I think it must have been in that year. I do not know whether she came. My impression was that it was after the scene I have described, and when she bad expressed herself desirous to be friends again. [A letter of condolence to Mrs. Codrington on the death of her mother, and offering to call ea her, was also put in.] On the 15th of February, 1863, 1 invited her to dinner, to meet a large party of friends, the Printers of Leiningen, and other ladies sad gentlemen, bin principally the oaken of the 23rd She sent as apology, stating that she had an engagement. She was invited to our house up to the last ; but she continually refused to come. The admiral frequently came. He pained most Sunday evenings with us. He 000tinually oceivereed with me about his wife, and he told my husband and we a pest part of the history of his married life. This was not • matter of offence to Mrs. Codrington ; on the contrary, she regoodod him to • do so. She wished me to speak to him on the wk.. her mailed life, but I declined to do so. I wrote t admiral lind his wife on the subject of Mrs. Smith's de,,th September, 1862. The respondent was always rather atr.• regent in her mode of expression —always atldicte I to domontade. Sometimes I did not believe her otter:lt:A, I thought them extravagant, bat I did not think her i.....i was w►odering. I have never thought, or , aid, written, that her mind was wandering.
