Aprourtmr.Nr or Btsnors.—lt has been under stood for some time that several important questions in volving the privileges of the clergy and the rights of the crown were about to be brought under the notice of the cabinet. A cabinet council was held yesterday (Tuesday), and it is said that some at least of the many schemes which affect the iotereats of the church were theta discussed. Of eourse, nothing is known of the results, nor do we suppose that soy decision was arrived at. It is, however, no secret that the Bishop of Exeter postpones the reriguetioo of has diocese, in the hope that her may be permitted to nominate a suffrages bishop, and so make an (award move towards the abolition of the (peso's ronif cretin in the nomi nation of bishops. There are many abettors of thi subtle scheme. sod chief amongst these is the Bishop of Oxford. It is understood that, under his ad vice, it is proposed that • bill should be introduced, anthorioing a bishop under certain circumstances to norni mite two i suffragans, leaviog to the crown the option of selecting one of the two. How this would operate is pram tiee we might malty Magritte by supposing the Bishop of Exeter to prevent two each suffragans as Mr. Bennett of From., and Mr. Greeley of confessional aotoro•ty. But this would not be all. In process of tints the suffragan would be regards.' as the rightful expectant of the aged or invalid bishop, rod so the crown would gradually lose a supremacy for which even is Popish times the Kings of Eogland c niter:ideal, and bishops originally nominated, by bishops would take their seats in the House of Lords as temporal barons.

Nov. 23. (Won gas Judge Onthary.) OODIMIGTON O. OODINGTON AND AILDWON. incur. JIM. After over report left yesterday. The Judge Ordinary observed that the %nations submitted to the jury were neither intik:de nor involving points of law on which he need dash' them. There were, however, two directions in which they might go astray—two rocks upon whisk their judgment might pee. sibly be wrecked. In the flat place, in oonsidering the ease against Mrs. Codringtoe, they might iessoeibly have I been led to attach weight to the mere number of charges, and to think that • person against whom so many soma. Hose had been brought and suppated by more or lees of evidence could not be wholly without geilt. But surely any number of weak links would not make • strong chain. It was true that • great variety of teas of suspicion satis factorily made out wore as so many steps by which the jury might rise to the higher charge of adultery • but • number of MR* unproved charges ought nob to aff ect their view of the quotations submitted to them. The other danger to which they were exposed was lest they should think that because some of the charges had failed they had • right to hurl back the whole ease at the head of the petitioner. This, likewise, would surely not be • logial course ; they must weigh the evidence in each ease and form their amolnsion upon each allegation Independently. The letter which had just been read appeared to him to have • most important bearing upon the case. Regarding it in the most favourable light for the respondent, could they look upon it eves es the later which • sister might write to her brother ? It monied to him to he impossible for anybody to read it and attach to it any but one meaning —that mean ing being that Mrs. Codrington and Colossi Anderson had for • long time, probably for two years, been a terms of Mint &Bedtime. Mind, there was not • weed of adultery in the whole letter ; bat it wag impossible not to see from it that the puttee must have interehaaged vows of mutual &Bailee. look at its language :—" Surely before you en. gaged yourself to he married to agree you were bound in all hoover to write and tell me of the changed state of your feelings." Suppose the letter were from Calomel Anderson's sister, could the pad* have mid that? How weld she say that her brother was " band in boomer" to tell her before he engaged himself to he married It wee pretty obvious that the writer mast be alluding to some eat of fealty which her correspondent and herself owed to one another as the consequenos of mutual vows. Again, the letter went OD to Say—" I =Met believe in one week the recol lection of the two pest yeas can be obliterated so utterly from your heart as to amble you to marry mother." Could • enter have written like that' How could • saber have possibly talked about her brother marrying " abolber ?" Again, the writer said, "Time aloes cam e ff ect each • revul sion in • true heart." And agam." As to the advice yon give me, I would say nothing harsh or unkind to you, but onaidering the abject of your letter, and the startling an nouncement you mad* to me, it is somewhat cold and cruel, sad,l venter, of thearitare of the advice theexecutionergives hie victim when toying her bead on the block, ' I have to cut your head off ; it most be, so do not Slack or swerve— it is best you should not, and then zny axe will make a clean stroke and end year misery quickly.' As you have steeled your heart to writs what you have, believe me, the least you can say on that point the better. There ere certain crushing sorrows wherein the heat alone knows its own bitterness, and only God can give comfort." Surely that was • letter which spoke of passion, and of parka which bad been not unrequited. how to • married woman who thus surrendered her heart, it was a very sheet step radioed to go farther, and surrender her anon. Still it wee • step further. There was not • word in the letter which referred to criminal intercourse ; and it was for those who supported the petition to show that It had nevertheless Wren place. The whole of the investigation had really been occupied is proving that lest step ; but the letter itself car ried them three parts of the journey. He must say he thought that the husband of • wife who was capable of writing such • letter was very well justi fi ed in craning to the Divorce Court, and saying, " I will not live any looger with such a person, if Ima help it." A great deal had bees said thong the em ployment of spies. No doubt Gary one's feel ing! would be Whist such a course ; bat it could not be said that • man as never to have his wife watched. Whether • man was justified in doing so or not depended entirely upon the date of his knowledge at the time, and also upon what was dimmed ; for no one would tolerate the idea of a woman complaining that she was watched when, in point of fact, it appeared that she bad been all toe time committing adultery. In this eve it would be for the jury to say whether, when the letter which had been read was fouled in the respondent's desk, the petitioner wee not perfectly justified in watching each • woman. The jury had heard the evidence respecting the conduct of the respondents after Colonel Andaman's re turn to Loudon from Soothed. He had bad an interview of two or three hours with Ma. Oodriagton at her husbants home on the Sunday, and it certainly would require • con siderable stretch of charity to believe that after that oppec ! unity of returning any papers which she might have had to give up, and of making any other arrangements, the cold require to meet him again for any innocent purpose at the Grosvenor Hotel, and to speed three or four hours with him there. All that, however, was entirely for the judgment of the jury, which they would exercise with refe rence to the state of feeling between the respondents. It was very tens that there was no direct evi dence of adultery ; aor was there in nine cues out of ten ; but they might presume adultery if the circureatanees wag sufficiently strong to warmest them in doing so. It would be for them to say whether the interviews bantam these patties were of the nature of clandestine meetings, or who thee they were snch.as might be accounted for by legitimate frisedship. He (Sir J. P. Wilds) dwelt thus much epee this part of the ow, because it was by far the strongest, and it did not awry iwavietioa with it be did not think there was any other that would. The Queen's Advocate—l do nob know whether it would be proper to remind your lordship that Colonel Anderson was engaged to be married at the time ! The Judge Ordinary—That is • mere remark ; but if I make say error in panne the evidence I shall gondola, to be corrected.—As regarded the adultery is theit was not necanary for him to make any observations urge the evidence, farther than this—which:was • fair remark to make up= that el all the Maltese vintage—they did not appear. to have mentioned what they had noticed until some wpaoa had bees around, and probably sot until after legal gentlemies had been not out from this country to make inquiries. As to Roe's testimony, it seemed to be wholly irreooocileable with that of Lieutenant Galway ; and it was, moreover, of • very equivocal character. What the policeman had deposed to, even if it really occurred, was no more than might be susceptible of aa innoesat ex plamition. He now quitted the case of Colonel Anderson, leaving the jury to form their own judgment open the various facts is issue, and their bearing upon the extraordi nary relations which bad existed all this time between this man ad this wawa, as shows by her letter. Mr. Price—Will your lordship direct the jury that that letter is not endear, against Colonel Anderson ? The Judge Ordinary—The learned counsel was perfectly right upon the point of law. The letter written by the respoodeut was not metope. opium Colonel Anderson ; and if Mrs. Codringtoe bad not been a party to this came, it could not have been evidence against her. There was no doubt as to Misrule of law ; bat, as a man of common sense he (the Judge Ordinary) rimed that be thought that the distinction was • perfectly idle one to take; for how could the jury at one and the same time treat it as 'videoce and not evidence ?—how could they at one and the same time say that is preyed adultery to have been committed by Mrs. Codrington with Colooel Anderson, and that it did not prove adultery to have been committed by Colonel Anderson with Mrs. Codriogtoo ? (A laugh.) It was ace of those rules of law which asked the mind to perform an impossible function. The jury could not come toe 000clusicia spinet Mrs. Cod , finical, and at the name time my they were of opinion that there was no evidence spinet Colonel Aodersoa. He now came to the case as it related to Lieut. Mildmay. Here again he would take the same course as he had already done, sod grapple at once with the strongest evidence, namely, that of Mrs. Wawa. (The leased judge read or ma untamed a coosidemble portion of the vitae's . * deposition.) No doubt them revealed eoefideacies, where one of the partiescould get into the witness•box and the other could not were very awkward things for a respondent to deal with, and he really did not see how they were to be dealt with, unless the jury would ask themselves whether the story told them was • probable one, and whether the person tell. li Mg it was free from bias ? Now, in the first place, he did Dot think that Mrs. Watson was a lady to whom • married woman would choose to coeflde • guilty attachment for another man. le this esse, too, it was • perfectly voluntary . statement. It was not a ease in which them had been • i partial discovery, and a further explanation had been as it were extorted ; but it was alleged that after oily two or . three Lye' acquaintance by the bedside of a sick (deed the ' respondent had volunteered this singular confession to • : lady who was evidently a pence of rigid virtue—a lady i who, as they had all seen, was a perfectly intelligent, discreet, and exact per son—a lady who, unlike perhaps the writer of the • Lilian letter," would certainly not be disposed to talk in easy terms of such • matter as adultery. While Mrs. Codrington told Mrs. WM . eon that she woke sad found herself in Lieutenant Mildmay's arms. Ma. Watson charitably added, "My impression wee that the seal of Infamy was not then set ;" 'Jut It was hard not to believe that Mrs. Codringtoo meant to convey, if I what Mrs. Watson reported was true, that the sad of infamy war )then set. Next, Mrs. Codringtos was repre sented as goiog spin to Mrs. Watson and declaring, io a paroxysm of agitation sad tears, that " The climax of evil had arrived. , He (liar J.P.Wilde) certainly could not under stand either the owl manner in which Mrs. Cudriogtou had, three months before, aneounced that she had spent the night in the anus of Lieutenant Mildmay, or the agitation and tears which had accompanied this later thalami. There - was • species of clic:Tommy is Mrs. Waimea's evidence which made one badly inclined to give it entire credence. Mrs. Watson said that she was nut on terms of sash intl. mite frioadship with the respoodent after this coefessien, . but her statement was hardly recoecileable with her letter.. It was also difficult to understand bee subsequeet cooduct. There was no trace of any gunnel between them, except a temporary one, that seemed to have been perfectly healed; but after the partied returned to England Mrs. Watson was present at all the steps whisk were taken to mead the petition. He owned that one's mid rather revolted from Ude state of things. Gas weld have thought that a feeling of delicacy, to my no thing of wouldhave led Mm. Wakes to my, ' I won't have an to do with the matter." He (Bit J. P. Wilde) confessed it strike him that the steps taken by Mrs. Watson were very peculiar ones for • lady to be mamma is. It was mid by the leagued mussel that Mrs. Bearing ton bed herself " pointed the sting ;" but that was not quite the aim True It was that she did subsequently Week Mrs. Watson, sad attack her mod unwarrantably but her sewer was not pat upon the file till long after Mrs. Watson's interference. It was no portion of his duty ar desire to sit in judgmeat upon Ws. Watson's conduct ; but he mentioned these thine beaam he was anxious that the jury should put • just value upon her evidence. Before quitting this part of the as. be must also my he :Zit it odd that any cos who had charge of the affair have allowed Mrs. Oodrington's desk to be ransacked in the preemie of the cabman and the attorney's clerk ; and should ,have permitted them to make observations on what was found in it. As regarded the other evidence respecting ha d Mildmay, he would merely repeat what he had already said on the subject of the Maltese wit nesses. They bad been asked why Dock should be discre dited! He (the learned judge) really did not know, except that he had been proved to have been on narked' terms with his mistress. It was • mistake to my that Oodriactoe bad threatened to send him co board the Hibernia and have him Bogged—the evidence was that it was Mn. ()admit= who wanted the admiral to have that dons. As to the allegatios respecting the Hasps Bernard, that hoe been cionalnelvely easwered. With regard to " " letter, he was sot surprised that it ,should have been introduced fat* the snit, but it was more than doubtful whether It had really, after all, anything to do with it. In the Illet place, its date, January, 1859 rendered it clear that it emild not refer to Colonel Andinon, for the respondent did not know him at that time. It was also very doubtful whether she knew flout*. nant Mildew. At all events it could not apply to him ;1 for what did it my ?—" El:1131, it I understand right, you got into a serape rushing into • man's room in your night. gown, with your pretty naked feet." That must apply to I some one who was sleeping in the house. Apia,referring to • which she expected to be horn, Liban " mid, " Call it Edith. I give up to you the chance his reverser, offered me of ' fixing ' the name.' Now, who " , reverence r That did sot look much like Lieutenant Mild may. (A. laugh-) It evidently referred to somebody who had • right b" fix " the name of the child. That certainly seemed to be more like Admiral Dodriegton ; for one could hardly imagine an one Glee having the amatory to assume the tight of naming • child to be born of his wife. It did not, therefore, appear that this interesting letter had any reel blaring upon the owe. A juror here asked what were the respective ages of Lieutenant Mildmay and of the respondent Th. Judge replier! that Lieutenant ?Many was about 30, and Mrs. Oodrington 36. It was right to say that the two families bad bees on the most intimate terms. Thus were two counter therm spinet the petitioner, namely, that be had conduced to his wife's edaltery by lin neglect of her, and by his attempt to violate Miss Faithful' while she was sleeping with the respondent. Now, Him Faithful', so far from substantiating this latter charge, had positively de it. Being aware - from various affidavits which bad been filed, that Hiss Faithful! wee supposed to have gives • dif fermi account of the transaction, he (Sir J. I'. Wilde) had allowed her to be eromexamined on the part of the respon dent, in order to see whether by having various circumstances recalled to her recollection, she would alter her evidence ; bat she adhered to the statements she bad first given in the box ; and there was aa end of the matter. He would not mists time by considering whether the respoodent's attorney had done right in pkang such acanda/cous matter on the record —for ft was saiodalous not having been proved—bat he was surprised to find Mr. Few actually stating that Hiss Faith. full bed told him that Admiral Oudrington bad had con nexion with her. As to the other charge against Admiral Oodringtoo. he need rely remark that it was cootradicted by the respondent's answer, namely, that in conesquence of the affair with Miss Faith ful' she had herself withdrawn from her husband's bed. As to the real state of the case a flood of light was Ist in by the letter of the respondent's father to the petitioner. He (Mr. Smith) threw the whole blame on his daughter, and spoke of the sufferings of her dying mother as having bees aggravated by the respondent's rejection of her reince etraziese. Mr. Smith spoke of his wife's woad desire for the welfare of his " longerring child," for the return of domestic happiness to his abode, sad for the setting of a better example to her loved grandchildren by the re spoodent, who, she said, bad " long neglected her maid duties as a mother and as • wife." Such a letter from the respondeat's own father, conveying the sentiments of her own mother, was the strongest possible evidence that could be conceived sgsMat the idea that the petitioner had treated her with a misled that had oesducisd to her adultery. The whole ease was now before the jury ; and be was are the parties would have reason to be satisfied with their dectsiou, as they bad greedy bad name to be satisfied with their patient attention in the discharge of their more than usually memos duties. It might be some consolation to them to feel that the rights entrusted to their keeping far transoseded in importune any mere ques tions of money, such as wen submitted to other courts. They were questions of the deepest moment to the parties themselves, and involved the dearest interests of society. In the present case they would have to decide between the bosom of a very gallsat gentleman and the fair fame of a welledneated, welllatinurrd lady ; ad be felt sure that they would endeavour falafel!, and well to discharge the painful duty which was mat upon them. The jury having retired, Mr. Price tendered a bill of exceptions to the ruling of the court. The Jodgie.Ordinary having read the bill, directed the jury to be recalled. He then told them that there were distinct issues between the petitioner and each respondent; that they would in fact have to nod not only whether Mn. Codrington had committed adultery with Coloesl A Waren, but whether (bland Anderson had committed adaltery with her ; that the draft letter was evidence against her but eat against the pliant colonel ; and that even if they found against her they must tot find against the co-meson dent unless they were satisfied of his guilt tram the other evidence in the one, . . . . The jury spun retired, and after about an boor's delibe ration returned a verdict for the petitioner Dirtiest both the respondent and the oe-respondent on all the mum The Judge Ordinary then pronounced • decree nisi, bat merged the question of costs. Tae Yavisrox MAanzsoz CASE.—In the single bills of the Fint Division of the Court of fieseioe yesterday, there was a motion for the defender, the Hoe. W. C. Tel verbs, to apply the judgment of the Hones of Lords. As this motion is to be opposed, the pursuer's counsel moved that the case be sent to the Summer Roll , which was done. It is reported that the Hoe. Mrs. Yelvertoe is to apply to the court for leave to prove additional facts which eh* believes claims to be of importance to her case, and which have only come to ber knowledge since its oieclusioa. This additional evidence is said to be to the effect that Major Yelverton, when on a visit to his brother Frederick, sow deemed, acknowledged sad admitted that be had married Min Loegworth in &Weed, and meowed his marriage vows in Indeed ; that he made this aclmowledgessat to his broths, in presses* of Sarah Mullins, who was at the time attending the brother se a sick nurse ; that this Sarah Mullins died in the Meath Hospital, Dublin, and when on her death bed she was attended by • clergyman of the church of England, whom she informed of what had pared in her preemies between the brothers Yelvertoe.
