Lord PALMERSTON—No, air; as long as the British government were acting in conference in conjunction with another neutral powers, of course proposals were made and seggestions were made ; but the coeference being over, negotiations terminated ; and the negotiations being now 'emanated between the belligerent parties, it is not the intention of her Majesty's government to interfere further the matter.

',Lord PALMER TON—Priem Conn, of his own autho rity, issued edicts entirely alterieg the constitution of the principalities. The Porte objected to that, and so did the powers who at the treaty of Vienna had to a certain de pee undertaken to ware to the Principalities certain con stitutional iostitutious. The Prince proceeded to Cot etaetinople to mortonnicate with the Porte, and when there he communicated with the Porte and with the representatives of the powers who were parties to the treaty of Path, and the result of the deliberations of these potties was an agreement between the Porte and Prince Cot= as to certain modifications in the 000stitutioo which had been given, certain portions of that coustitution being main tained and other portions being altered.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. JOLT 29. (Beton tie Judge °Misery.) tOtoutearox v. OODIRINGTON AND ANDICNIION. Mr. Swill, Q. 0., Mr. Horpeat Bel/sutler, and Dr. apish., for the petitioner; the Qusen's Advocate, Mr. Hawkins,Q.C., and hlr. lederwiek, for the respondent; Mr. Price, Q. 0., sad Dr. Swabey, for the 00-respondent. This was a snit instituted by Vice-Admiral Henry Jahn Cdringtos C. 8., for a diseolutios of his marriage on an count of his wife's adultery with divers pampa, particu larly with the 00-rcepoodeat Lieutessat-Colonel David Andreae, of the r-. 4 Foot, and with Lieutenant Herbert St. John Mildmay, of the 3rd Battalion of the Rifle Bri gade. The respondents both denied the charge, and Hrs. Ifttha , 'Vow also pleaded that if she had bleu guilty of adultery, the petitioner had cooduced to it by his wilful neglect sad misocedect. From the openieg address of mussel it appeared that os the 9th of April, 1849, Admiral Codriegtoe married at the British Embassy at Florence MA Helen Jane Smith, the only daughter of a gentleman of great respectability who bed hog resided in that city. For many years the union bad bees productive of nothing but uninterrupted happiness. There had be issue two daughters, who were now of the respective ages of 11 and 12. In the last year of the Crimean war the petitioner was ordered to proceed with his ship, Algiers, to the Black Sea. Before leaving Spithead he received the following letter boos hie wife, dated the 9th of April, 1866, the anniversary of his marriage, and the horsed conosel reed it to show the terms on which the parties then lived : " Wednesday. " Dearest use line, with everything that is deer to you on this our wedding day. God ever bless you and keep you! There are few le can my on the seventh aavereary of their man that they have never expo timed anything but kindness and lovefrom him whom they promieed to love and obey in W►t ever meencenble moment of their lives, as I can, my own Harry. However, lam glad nobod► sees this affection ; for altar all, my motto would be 'Deeds, not words.' Addio, anima di ma vita!' (soul of my life.) "H. J. OODILUIGTON." While Admiral Codringtcn was on swiss hems of course compelled to leave his wife in England, but he made evezy arrangement for her comfort, and at her desire Miss Emily Faithfull. of the Victoria Press, and of Townes-street, Ens sellequare, became her companies. On his return in August, 1856, be had some small differences with the re apoodent, but he bad not the slightest reason to entertain any suspicious of her conduct. In the following spring, however, MmCodrington Word toeless' with her bookend. From time to time before thus she bed prepared to deep with If iss Faithfull, on the plea that she was subject to asthma ; but this was the fast occasion on which she had expressed a determination to do so. The result was a serious dispute. The matter was referred to Mr. sad Mrs. Smith, and rentiudly Miss Faithinll was diagramed the house with the full concurrence of the respoodent's father. After this affair • packet was sealed op and pieced by Mr. Smith is the hand' of Geoeral Sir W. Codringten, the petitioner's brother, for the purpose, as he stated, of justice being done to the admiral. The seal remained to this day unbroken ; and it would be for the Queer's Advocate himself to say whether its contrite should be produced. After the dismissal of Miss Faithfnll Admiral Cod on and his wife lived together in Ecidestoo-peen till 18M, the respondent, by her own desire, occupying a separate room. Still they went into society together, and appeared to be on good terms. In September, 18.58, the admiral west out to Malta, where be had received the appoirmeat of superintendent of the dockyard. They continued there on the flame terms as they had been as is England • but the admiral's duties rendered it mosseary to Men r espondent a good deal to handl. They saw a good deal of society ; bat while the petitioned' occapatioas oompalled him to keep early hours, the respondent preferred staying out late at night, aod he had thus to go home without bor. Her hus band's private gondola was always at her awed, and she had a servant to attend upon her. After balls she was in the habit of being rowed across the harbour from Valetta to the Gowernmant-hooss and she was often assorted home by officer and gentlemen who had been proem{ at the ester tainments. The gondola (of which a model was produced), had a kind of cabin which was quits separate from the rest of the little vessel ; sad it was remarked by the boatmen that when either Cobol Anderson or Lieutenant Mildmay was with her, the boat would get out of trim—the lady and gentleman being evidently on the same bench. These voy ages occupied about • quarter of an hour each. At their close the gentleman who was with Nis. Oodringtoo would sometimes wish her good night, and go away : bat some times he would go in with her, and remain for some time. The admiral returned with his wife to Euglaod in June, 1863, and the home in Borlestoemnare being at that time let, they went for a short time to stay at Hampton. court with his sister. Afterwards they lived in a cottage at East Mooney. They were followed to Embed by the co respondent, and from entries in • diary kept by Mts. Cod. rington, beginning in June, 1863, it appeared that he frequently saw her in her husband's aeries. Oa the 26th of that mood the responder's wrote—" Admiral Codrington put a veto on my going out. Spoke to my father thereupon." This referred to • habit she had of coming to London, staying late, and being unable to sandy her husband where abe had been. Another entry, as the 28th of Ju i .:l ; z s a thus :—" Some with the Admiral about Wesel A calling. Said he should writs and prohibit his Gatlin any more at the home." I o September there were entries referring to "V. P." (Victoria Press) sad "T. S. (Tawites-street), sea of them followed by the note " unsatisfactory." There were also references to letters written to "St. Germain's," aid it appeared that in October the co-respoodent had beea to a pleas of that mine in Scotland, when he soon after wards married his cousin. On the 26th of October there was • memorandum, " Letter fret St. Germain's. Writ. iag hits Not wall. Miserable night Nell wary ill." On the next day was melded, " Write sourer to St. German." In Mrs. Codriagtoa's desk a dealt of a letter la her handwriting was found, which was evidently the answer referred to. It was as follows : " Oct. 21,1863, 82 E.S. "(What can I say to your letter ?

For a long time the respondent had been content with • simple denial of the charge, but she had at length filed • singular plea, accusing bar hualmod of coo duct conducing to her adultery, if she had committed any. Thais was no pretence whatever for such am averment. But Mn. Codringtou did sot stop there. She had pat umber and most ou trageous' allegation upou the ale. She stated that while they wire living at Malta the admiral bad neglected her society far that of Mrs. Watooo, the wile of • clergyman there. The parties had certainly livid on friendly terms with Mr. sad Mrs. Watson, sad Mn. Watson had endeavoured to rescue the respondent from the perilous course she was panning.

He (Mr. Bovill) was instructed to give the statement a complete and aboolute denial ; and he should be much surprised if Miss Faithful' came forward to attempt to substantiate it. The learned counsel then called the following Mimeses. Si W. Codziagtos—After my brother's marriage he came with his wife to stay with me. I saw them four or five times during their maimed life.

Mr. KOZGLAKE called attention to the state of our present relations with Mexico, sod moved so address to her Majesty for the productioe of certain papers in reference to the subject. He said it was rather asornalocs that the French invasion of !lesion, which resulted in the weeps tioa of only • snail piano.' of the territory, should have led to M 4,000 French so ldie rs being stationed there. Lord PALIiEW3TON said the policy which was pursued by this canary wee to ester into amicable relations with every power, whether a monarchy or a republic, when either of these forms of government had been established. Before the Archduke Ilazimilianlwent to Mexico the government of the country had declined to ester into any relation or treaty with him, as being opposed to the practice of government. However, when the people of that country recognised him, they the. entered into friendly re lation' with him. The principal ground of oompla'ait on the part of this country in regard to Mexico was that it bad hitherto been governed by some chiefs who used their autho rity for the carpool' of plundering and ill-treating British subjects. With reg.rd to a cheap in the government of that country, it must be remembered that a large portion of the oopnlatioa were is favour of it, not being satisfied with Spanish rule, to which they had been along sub jected.

MODE or CONN - STAMP& —At the Col chester Petty Sessions, ca Thursday, a somewhat singular case was brought to • termination. A woman, named Eliot Barley, wee changed with having abandoned her illegitimate male child on the night of Jaly 13, thereby eadasigeriag its life. It appeared that the young woman had handed over the hamper containing the baby to • cabman, with strict in junctions that he was to leave it that night at the resi dence of • Mr. Naylor, to whom it was addressed. The cabman. not being aware of the contents of the hamper, thought it would do u well to take it there in the morning, and the poor baby was left in the comes of the yard all night. It did not, however, seem to have suffered from its exposure, as„ when the hamper was delivered at eight o'clock the following morning, the child was found to be asleep and apparently comfortable. The defence was that the infant was Naylor's., and he bad told the woman to send it to him ,• therefore, there would have been no abandonment if Naylor bad acted up to his ar rangement. The medical men said that seeding • child to a hamper as described would not be injurious to it if it weld breathe freely. The bench were of opinion that the case had entirely failed in regard to the charge of the abandon ment of the child, and they damnified the case. The deci sion of the bench caused an outburst of applause in court. The hamper was about three feet long and 16 inches deep, slid the inside was padded with soft white lines, with • pillow. and two piece. of ribbue iota the child down, [Advertisement.) -- HOLLOWAY'S PILL..
