THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 23, 1864. TEE COLRINGTON DIVORCE CARE. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. THIS DAY.) (Before the Judge Ordinary.) ( °MONCTON t. CODIONOTON AND ANDERSON. SPECIAL JURY. MG Bova], Q.C., Mr. Serjeant &McAbee, and Dr. ,piehe for the petitioner ; the Queen's Advocate, Mr. Q.C., and Mr. Inderwick for the respondent ; 11,. price. Q.C., and Dr. Swabey, for the co-respondent. The petitioner, Vice-Admiral Henry John Codrington, c. 8., sued for a dissolution of his marriage on amount of Fife's adultery with divers persons, particularly with 040 / pendent, Lieutenant-Colonel David Anderson, of tLe '.'2ud Foot, and with Lieutenant Herbert St. John ?Cldriay, of the 3rd Battalion of the Rifle Brigade. The .1:v - outlet:Its both denied the charge, and Mrs. Codringion ; lealed that if she had been guilty of adultery the ; tv.,,s..cr had conduced to it by his wilful neglect and mia. :see, which stood adjourned from Saturday last, was iesiiersd this morning, when )1,. Dowd! replied on behalf of the petitioner. He : , hsirved that it was now nearly four menthe since the public investigation of this suit had been cool- E.oneed in that court, and he congratulated them in the List place, on their all being able, at the end of that li,pee of time, to devote their beet energies to its ehiadation ; and he congratulated them also on the termination of their labours. With regard to the manner in which his learned friend, the Queen's gle„'..te, had discharged his painful duties, be could only sty that if every witness that mine forward in • court of eat: a was to have his character assailed, and be was to i d with perjury, he did not know where testimony t urn foetid with which to sustain legal proceedings. As 1.: this case being discreditable to Admiral Codringtou, he ,sild only say that if a gentleman, after giving the • t ,, t insioctions to his wife not to see Colonel Anderson, foDh 1 that she had nevertheless spent an hour with him in urn home, and had paid visits with him to the c;es t ve....l Hotel, he had no other option but to take further steps. Whether he was justified or not in seizing t:r diary, let the end decide. He denied that ”.'etetin was in any way the contriver or cvi.:eitiT of the petitioner. Ms. Watson had not • : single word respecting Colonel Anderson ; only with Colonel Aide eon that the respond ea: w charged with misconduct. He (Mr. Bovill) cam -11.;i.,,i of the manner in which Capt. Strickland's evidence h.l ben taken, without giving the slightest notice to the p. , t‘ti , u,r, or affording him any means of moss-examining It was said that the admiral had been the Mil of k:1,0 .I , meitic unhappiness, which was supposed to have ecist,:l after the birth of the younger daughter in 1854. It was. however, only necessary to refer to the respondent's cm letter on the thh of April, 1856, the day on which the ; etitioner was leaving for the Crimea. In that letter she •• ever bless and keep you. There are few pc , :.7:0 that can say on the 7th anniversary of their marriage tie: C.c.s had never experienced anything but kindness and :era 1: ont him who promised it them on that ever-memo day, as I can say of you, my 01111 Barry. . . . . time di vita mee (soul of my life)." After that letter it was impossible any longer to contend for the theory cf the defence. The counter-charge put upon the record by the respondent—namely, that the petitioner had de ..n attempt on the virtue of Miss Faithfull—if it had !tin insisted upon, would have been a meet foul and most w -',ed aspersion on Admiral Codrington, concocted for the e•.2 . ..5i purpose of defeating his petition. He (the learned iottleriac) rejoiced, for the sake of Miss Faithful!, that she n. !nutted there was no foundation for this charge, and that the whole story had arisen from • misapprehension on the of Mr. Few. The odd thing wee that after this -.11e;-?1 misconduct of the admiral no word of complaint should have been uttered by anyone t:il it was placed upon the record. Mr. Few stated that llDs Filthfall had admitted to him in express terms that the admiral had had connexion with her; but if so, why taxi not Mr. Few put that charge into his client's answer! the whole story was really too absurd for • moment's con. sideration. They bad beard a good deal about concocting stopies, but be should like to know who had concocted this it was clear that Mrs. Codrington had done it. had told Miss Faithful! something, ani Min Faithful! Lai believed her up to a certain extent ; but even she had at last seen good reason to doubt her veracity. Besides, he void put it to the jury, if the admiral had committed such ▪ catrage on the delicacy of Miss Faithfull, or such an C7.traj3 on the feelings of his wife, would both the ladies in tv days after have been writing the sort of friendly and • Date letters which had been put in! In lair answer 24:e. Airington had actually stated that in consequence cf th.l affair she refused to occupy the same room w:;:n Lim; but it was in evidence that she went dose to Sir William Codrington's, at Silverlands, • h.erss for several days she did occupy the same bed with The matter did not stop there. Mrs. Calrington walied for a s3paration ; but she was advised that she could nt hare one because the admiral had been guilty of no 4.r.i.ltp. lint if this affair bad bad 'helmet reality it would it itself have been • sufficient foundation for • peti t:::. Again, in 1857 there was • meeting between tta. pytici—Mrs. Codringtoe's father and mother • t his Faithful! ; but Mias Faithfull stated zhtre was not • single syllable said about this charge. The cis separation that took place was the separation of Miss ahfull from Mrs. Codriogton. There was, moreover, • r ::ain scaled picket ; and without wishing to evoke that parcel, he rr.tlat at least say that the respondent's at..,:zey had applied for • copy of it, and he might tee iut in evidence if he had liked. Passing over the. ; .rt of the ease without further comment, ' , nod , snosel proceeded to remark that after Miss ..1'.f.11 had left the admiral's, they heard no more of •.li 16-re years afterwards, when she again came on the ..i Mrs. Codrington's moat intimate friend, and the t Press was spoken of as a place of assignation be ! - the rt,;sondent and 00-respondent. Ile was glad, :if.. to and that Miss Faithful! repudiated the share - I. 'e meetioz,s which had been attributed With respect t 3 the behaviour of the peti ' - - • ••••r t)ward. the respondent at Malta, the learned counsel f::: 1 :a socac detail to the evidence ; and contended that I r al the atltniaLre conduct to have been perfectly an . _ _ 7t:lnaLle that it showed hie demeanour to have been L.: : iv.ent:ve, and affectionate ; and that ahe made no aiaiust him. But what was her mode of life? -- Lad hi ; h ofGcial duties to perform, and it was re for him to keep reasonable boars ; but when the society she refined to accompany him home. The could not, of course, take bold of her and bear away by force ; and she treated with con all the remonstrances that were addressed the score of her bealth and her family. .mplaints that the admiral in the summer slept Ar)ff ; but why did he do that' It was be - +b911.11 , WIA unhealthy, and that the step was be and ague. But she refused to go with therefore, went with the children ; a::e;ed tiiat ho had desartad bar. Bat was the ...Nl..ngtr his own health and the health of his ", account of her obstinacy' As she would tot Luilittrl wished her, be was obliged to let her •`• be likes.

A commission was sent out, - ....,.nt >lil linay not only refused to be examined in •-• t , ..ta - ;• . :.tantling the long adjournment which Le had not come forward in court.

His learned friend bed f•tei;.ll manners, and bad vouchsafed his own • 11, c• uld not cross-examine his learned friend, • ,t to throw any immersion upon his oondnet he feared that had it been proved that his learned friend was in the habit of going home in a gondola with • mauled lady, afterwards amompaying her to her room, and when her foot was blistered with dudes, operating upon it for her— bs was afraid they would sot deem him quite so themes! as they were now forkmately able to do. The learned gentleman then refined to the other witnesses, and to the visit to Lkemayenr in Switzerland. No doubt the affair 4 the Hospice St. Bernard bad been ex plained ; but what should have taken Mr. Mildmay there, end why should he have called himself Mrs. Cod ringlet's cousin? It was not till after the suit was eommenced, and Mrs. Watson bad been subpoenaed by the respondent, that she gave her evidence. Mrs. Wale" like the other witnemes, had been vigorously attacked by the other side; but did any man in his senses believe for one moment that Din Watson bed oome there to fabricate the whole story, and to commit wilful and corrupt perjury? If Mn Oodrington complained that Mn Watson had given a little sting to her evidence, he would remind the jury that that sting was first pointed by Mrs• Codrington ; for the had charged her with going on board the Azoff and spending the whole day there with the peti tioner. What could be more malignant than such en caper . 'ion ? The moment Mn Watson began to deny that there was any foundation for it his learned friend got up, and said he did not impute the sligheet impropriety to her. Well, he (Mr. Bovill) accepted that declaration; but surely Mn Codrington's legal thrums ought to have been a little more careful in the language they used ; for he denied that anyone could read the plea and plain any other interpretation upon it than that it wee meant to stigmatise the deduct of Admiral Codrington and Mn Watson with impropriety. Bat hie learned friend had asked Mn Watson if she had not thought that the respon ded wee of a wandering mind ? If that was so Mn. Cod rington was to be pitied; but the question was whether they were or were not to believe what Mn Watson bad stated upon her oath? His learned friend, however. bad put in a letter which the petitioner had transcribed from Mn Watson. Bat what were the circumstances under which the letter was written? Mrs. Smith MY dying, and the respoodent had refused to write to her. Mn Wawa had written for the purpose of giving comfort to the dying mother. Mn Webb did not say she believed the respondent was "more suffering than sinning ;" but that it would be a consolation to her mother to believe that her daughter was more cuff eriog than sinning. 1 Beside, if Mrs.Codringtoo had not made her alleged confes sions to her why should she have taken of "sinning r The fact was Mn Watson not having had her mind properly directed to the circumstaocehadforgotten all &bead, end it was not right, therefore, to regale her evidence as in'the least degree shaken. She was accused of having received Mrs. Othringtoo, after she had made the confessions ; but the truth was that she bad throughout acted the most kind and Christian part towards the respondent ; and bad done everything in her power to save her, and to conceal her misconduct. His learned friend complained that the petitioner bad not called the writer of " Lilian's" letter ; but of all the cool things he had ever heard of that was about the coolest. The lady in question was the intimate friend of the respondent, and Mr. Few stated that he ex pected to have been able to produce ker. The latter was so remarkable that, if the writer could have given any explana tion of it, there was no doubt that they would have had her in the box. It was certainly wit any Wee modesty that bad kept her bath ; but " Lilian " had herself authorised his learned friend to announce her name. He (Mr. Bovill) ridiculed the idea that the letter referred to the respondent's husband. In the first place, she stated in her plea that all intercourse with her husband had ceased. Besides, how could going into her husband's room '' with her pretty naked feet" bee " scrape r Besides, if having a child was regarded by the respondent in such a light, why it was possible that the separation between the parties had been her doing, and not that of bet husband, as had been suggested. There could be no doubt that, if the letter was a true one, the respondent must have committed adultery with some one. He (Mr. Bovill) now came to the case of Colonel Anderson. As regarded that gentleman, the re spoodent pleaded that the petitioner had conduced to her adultery if she had been guilty of any. The only evidence which had been given in support of th►t plea was that of Dr. Pickthorne relating to her forcible removal from the ad miral's room. The simple answer to that charge was the fact that it was laid eta time when she herself dechaed that she was refusing to cohabit with him. Hie learned friend (Mr. Price) had dwelt strongly on the reputation of his client, on whom he said that the breath of suspicion had never rested. If th►t were so it was to be regretted that his learned friend bad not produced some evidence of it, and had not put some one in the box, of whom he (Mr. Bovill) might h►ve asked a few quas i lions in cross-examination. The evidence against the gallant colonel in Malta was, to a certain extent, of • similar character to that relating to Lieut. Mildmay. (The learned gentleman went briefly through it.) As regarded the evidence of the policeman Roe on the night of the fi....t. , (May 2, 186.1) he had simply described what he s►w. For so doing he had been attacked with all the power of his learned friend and all the venom of somebody else. Bat who was Loe? He had beet in the police service 17 yeses, 8 at Devooport dockyard, and 9 years at Malt►, where he held the responsible situation of Keeper of the Victualling-yard Gate. He stated that Colonel Anderson end Mrs. Codring ton were shortly afterwards joined by • young officer end ► young lady. Lieut. Galway's account was rather • culotte oue, he went with Mrs. Adams, and Co lonel Anderson with another married lady ; but, at all events, therawu no real contradiction of Roe. The learned counsel mentioned various points in the evi dence with a view to show an improper acquain tanceship between Mrs. C ad no eon and . Colonel Anderson. He also commented upon the draft letter found in the respondent's desk. ' The jury could find but one verdict, and • verdict which would sever ties which ought to have bound the par ties together for life. The Judge Ordinary then commenced his summing up, and was proceeding with it when our report left. LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE (ET ILICTRIC IZLIGRAPE.) WARWICK MEETING.-(THIS DAY.)

The dividend amt bonus recommended are at the rate of 60 per cent, per annum : The directors bays mach pleasure in meeting the share. holders at this, the lint ordinary meeting, sod submitting a statement of accounts for the Lalf-year ending the 15th of the present month. By the constitution of the com pany, the directors ere called upon to convene a meeting within twelve months after commencement of the busi ness, but having regard to the satisfactory progress of the company, and the present position of mercantile and moos :an affairs, the directors havo considered it advisable, in the interests of the shareholders, to hold the meeting fifteen days after the date up to which the account., are made, this being the earliest period practicable. From the acoompan)iog balance-sheet, which has been duly audited and certified by the public accountants and auditor ap pointed under the snide' of emaciation, it will 1, seen that the profits amount to 57,571 /. Oa. sd. The directors recom mend a dividend at the rate ci 20 per cent. per annum, together with a bonne of 11. per share, the bonus to be added to the paid-up capital, making in all 61. per share paid up. This will be equivalent to a payment of 60 per cent, per annum upon the paid-np capital; the dividend being in future payable upon 6/. per share. After setting aside 21,(1001. to a suspense account for profits not yet realised. writing off the whole of the preliminary expenses, and providing for the commission payable to the menegT 4 . , went, there will remain a balance of 12,7461. Os. 4d., to carried forward to next profit and loss account. These pro fits might have been considerably augmented, but the directors have declined numerous important transactions, for while these offered large profits, they required the emu pany's acceptances to be given for amounts for which the present paid-up capital was wholly inadequate, sod which might have necessitated the making ells; and Alum* ow* security might have been taken in each ernes, the directors preferred confining the operations of the company within the limits of the amount at present paid up. navies in view the extension of the company's opera. time, and *4) advantages of a large subscribed capital, the directors have resolved to ism 5,000 new shares, with the Dame amount paid, viz, fit per share. These shares, in the first instance, will be offend to the shareholdere on the resider on the 21st December next, in the proportion of one sham for every two then held Financial companies until recently were unknown in this country, and like joint-stock banks will require time before the public will fully appreciate their capabilities mid the great facilities they render to industrial and other enterprises. But it may not be without interest to the prop Teton for the di rectors to remind them of the many millions of capital which have, through the agency of such companies, been Ltd) diverted into profitable channel., and the large divi. deeds which have consequently accrued. Whilst the directors sea no raison to doubt the future profitable work. lag of this company, they desire to impress upon their share hWdm the advantages and security of having an ample reserve fund, and at the same time: that the profits of a company like the National Financial mart be materially influenced by the general welfare and prosperity of the country. - - The light portion of the mails from Calcutta and China is expected to Lo distributed in London about the 27th inst.

FARLEY in the chair. The report, which hid been already issued and published, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption. He complained of the conduct of the Indian government in delaying the con struction of roads which would act as feeders to the line. As regarded the receipts, be considered them very satisfactory. In the half-year ending June 30, 1863, the train mileage yielded 6s. 9d. and 6-10ths of a penny ; in the hid-year ending June 30, 1864, it had increased to 7a. led. and 5-10ths of a penny. The working expenses had been augmented by the company's having taken upon itself the working of the line ,• it was 53 ,2 9 per cent, in the lass half-year on the grow receipts, as against 48.41 in the previous half -year. The account with the contractors had been cloned in a satisfactory manner, and to balance was due to them. After stating that the board had declined an invitation of the government to con struct an extension boa to one of the spare of the Biwa lays without a government guarantee, he referred to the recent cyclone at Calcutta, and expressed apprehension that the mortality from disease following that disaster would prove very large among Europeans. This danger enhanced the importance of having a sanatorium like that which had been contemplated at the Himalaya during the hot season ; and as the distanoe would be only 350 miles, 250 of which were already traversed by railway, be trusted the government guarantee would not long be withheld. The damage done to the rolling stock of the company by the cyclone did not exceed three or four thousand pounds; but a great deal of injury had been done to some of the company's station roofs under eon structioo. The whole amount of damage, a portion of which might fall on the government, did not exceed 14,000 f.; so that they bad gotout of this difficulty without in curring so much loss as might have bees supposed. In one way &sampany had actually benented by the cyclone. Steamers now went to Kocehtee instead of Calcutta io oonsequeuce of the state of the river Hooghly, and that do:curse waded to increase the traffic of the railway. In conclusion, he expressed h,s conviction that within • few years the com pany, which was now earning a net revenue of three per cent., would be earning • revenue equivalent to the govern ment guarantee of five per cent. Mr. 110143•31 dkl not consider the present state of thinp satidactory. Formerly the Eastern Bengal Com pany occupied the highest position in the railway market, whereas it uow stood below emend of them, in consequence of he earning only 3 per oent. After Iktl• diectrision the report was sdoptoi, and the proceedings terminated in the usual manner. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) WIDNIISDAY, NovMIII nt, II LI. I: t i. I ki 1
