THE NAVAL OPERATIONS LN JAPAN. (From UN Gazette of yesterday EveMbig.) ADMIRALTY, Nov. 16. • Despatches, of which the following are copies, have this day been received from Vice-Admiral Sir Augustus L. Kuper, K.C.8., the commander-in chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels on the Chic& station : OPERATIONS IN THE STRAITS OF BIMONO SW. Euryalus, Straits of Sirocco Sal, Sept. 15. 81r,-1 acquainted the Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty. lirtrily, in my letter of the 10th instant, No. 312, with the successful result of the operations of the allied squadrons in the Straits of Simono Seki ; and I have now the honour of reporting in detail, for their lordships infor mation, the progress of events subsequently to the 29r.1i ultimo, the day of our departure from Yokohama. • The Perseus having joined my deg in the entrance to the Boungo Channel, with a large collier in tow from Shaughae;and the Coquette arriving at the rendezvous on the 4th from Nagasaki, the force by which the operations were conducted consisted of the tuidermentioned ships, viz. :—British Euryalus, Tartar, Conqueror, &nose, Leopard, Argun, Perseus, Coquette, Bouncer, a nd the bat. telioa of Royal Marines. reach—Semiramis, screw, 35 guns, flag of Rear Admiral Jauris ; Dupleix screw, 10 guns • TancrZde, screw, 4 guns, despatch vessel. Datdt— Moulin Kraig, screw, 16 guns, senior office?. ship; D'Jambi, screw, 16 guns ; Amsterdam, paddle, 6 gam Medusa, screw, 1$ guns ; and the United States chartered steam-vessel Tkiang, with an officer, a party of men, and a gun of the United States corvette Jamestown, _ _ 3. The whole squadron having assembled at the island of Rims Sims, in the inland sea (the appointed rendezvous), left that anchorage at nine a.m. on the 4th instant, and 'steered for the entrance to the Straits of Simono Seki, an choring iu the afternoon out of range of the batteries. 4. Thesicompanying tracing of the chart of the straits will explain to their lordships the position and strength of the batteries as described thereon by Major Wray, /loyal Engineers, the batteries being referred to is this despatch by number, corresponding with those on the plan. J. Hiving, in company with Rear-Admiral Jeun.s, recon noitred the position of the batteries belonging to the Prince of Choshiu, it was arranged that the attack should be made on the nth inst. as soon as the tide served, and at two p.m. the signal was made for the ships to take up their position'. A.l soon as this was accomplished the action was com menced from the bow gun of the Euryalus, end the fire was smartly returned and kept up with much spirit by the Japanese batteries. At about 4.30 p.m. the fire from NO4. 4 and 5 batteries evidently slackened, and shortly afterwards ceased altogether ; and by 5.30, batteries Nos. 6,7, and 8 were also eilenced. The day was now too far advanced to admit of the landing parties being disembarked, but the Perseus and the Dutch corvette Medusa being very close to battery No. 5 and it being too dark to signalise for in struction', C ommander A. J. Kingston, with Lieutenant F. J. Pitt and a party of men from the Perseus, followed by Captain de Casembroot and Lieutenant de Hart, of the Meduaa, gallantly landed, spiked most of the guns in that battery, and returned to their ships without casualties of any sort, thus rendering very valuable service. 6. The positions taken up by the allied squadrons in this afternoon s engagement were as follows:—The advanced squadron, under the command of Captain J. M. Hayes, consisting of the Tartar, Dupleix, Metalen Kruis, Barron, D'Jambi, and Leopard, moved into the bey eff the village of Taeonra, as shown on the plan, within easy range of batteries 3to 9 inclusive, whilst the Euryalus and Semi ramis opened fire upon the same works : the light squadron, under Commander Kingston, consisting of the Perseus, Medina, Tanorkle, Coquette, and Bouncer, were directed to take the batteries rn flank ; the Argus and Amsterdam, being an first kept in reserve to render assistance to any ship that ',light be disabled or grounded, were afterwards ordered to close and engage ; and the Conqueror, having the battalion of marines on board, was, in consequence of the difficult nay directed to approach only sufficiently near to admit of her Armstrong guns bearing on the nearest batteries. During this operation the Conqueror grounded twice on a knoll of sand. bat mane off again without assistance, and without sustaining any damage. The Taksing also fired several shots from her one Parrot.•tin, doing good service. The Coquette, towards the close o f the engagement. was withdrawn from bee position with the flanking squadron, and soot to assist the foremost of the advanced corvette squadron, a service which Commander A. C. B. Hoe performed with great promptness... r 7 At daylizht, on the 6th inst., No. 8 battery again opened fire upon the advanced squadron, doing some damage to the Tuts and Dupleix, but on the squadron returning the tire the battery was soon silenced, and only an'ocaiaion4 'Unsling shot was bred from it afterwards. The arrange. menu for the disembarkation having been completed, the allied fcrces, composed of the 'melba= companies of the Eurvalus and Commerce, under the command of Captain J. H. J. Alexander, of the Ettryalus, the battalion of merinos and marines of the squadron under that of Lieu. tenant-Colonel W. G. Bother, and detachments of 350 French and 200 Dutch seamen and marines ; the former under the command of Captain do Quilt' and Lieutenant Layrle, chef d'etat major, and the latter under that of Lieutenant !kakis, were distributed in the boats of the squadron, and towed to the oppaaite shore by the Argus, Perseus, Coquette, Tan anlei, Amsterdam, Medlin, and Talcum& the Bouncer erbium to cover the landing, which was effected without accident, under the able superintendence of Captain W. G. Lutist, of the Conqueror, assisted by Commander E. T. Nott, of that ship, and the force proceeded, under my personal directions, to Result and take posse lion et the principal batteries, which was accomplished with only trifling opposition. All the guns having been dis mounted and spiked, carriages and platforms burnt, and 'magazines blown up, and deeming it inexpedient, from the wiry rugged and almost impenetrable nature of the country to retain possession of any post o n s h ore during the night, I directed the whole force to re-embark at four p.m. 8. The French and Dutch detachments were already in their boats when the Naval Brigade, stationed at Battery No. it, was suddenly attacked by a strong body of Japanese assembled in the valley in the rear of the battery. Colonel Bather's battalion of Marines coming up at title moment, a joint suck was immediately organised, and the meaty driven back upon a strongly placed Socloded barrack, from which they were dislodged after making a brief but sharp resistance, leaving seven small gnus in our possession. I regret to say that Captain Alexander, whilst gallantly lead ing Lis men to the attack of the stockade, received a severe wound in the foot, a nd man y other casti;lties also occurred is this attack. The whole force having then been ordered to embark, reached their ships without accident, notwith standing tb, violence of the currents, which presents serious obstacles to any operations in these straits. 9. During this day's action I noticed with great pleasure the coolness and gallantry of the Naval Brigade, under Captain Alexander, the excellent di sc ipli ne , and steady bearing under fire of the battalion of Marines under Colonel Slather. and supported by Lieutenant-Colonels P. C. Penrose and C. W. Adair ; and I observed with satis faction the readiness with which the French and Dutch brigades occupied their assigned positions. It was, how ever, a sour,e of regret to me that the embarkation of our allies prevented their taking part in the gallant affair at the enemy's stockade. 10. The Verbena, whilst covering thelanding on the morn lag of this was driven on shore by a strong eddy of the current, and, resiating all efforts to get her off, she remained fiat until midnight of the following day (7th), when, having been considerably lightened, she waa towed off under the judicious management of Commander John Moresby, of the Argue, and apparently without damage. 11. The batteries, from Noe. 1 to 6 inclusive, being now entirely in 0.. r possession, large working parties were landed early on the orning of the 7th, and commenced embarking the gone ea pt ti red on the previous days ; and during the after noon, the tartar, 31stalen Kruis. D'Jambi, and Impleix, Slaved tuunti to the westward of Mori Saki point, prepare. tory to au attack ou Batteries Nos. 9 and 10. 12. On the sth inst. I shifted my flag to the Coquette (Admiral .!.w. a accompanying me), and proceeded, in corn piny with the four chips named io the. last paragraph, then composing the advanced squadron, to open fire upon Batteries No. 9 and 10. The fire not being returned, parties were shortly afterwards landed from the squadron to de stroy the batteries and embark the guns, the whole of which was effected by the evening of the 10th, and all the guns are now on bowed the ships of the allied squadrons ; the embarkation of the guns, consietiog of sixty-two pieces of ordnance, of various sizes, a work of much labour and difficulty, wa very efficiently performed, under the dire., bons of the ~ ptains of the allied midterm. Captain W. M. Dowell, .4 the Barrow, who had charge of the cutback &bon at one of the principal batteries, bas brought to ,my notice the zealous assistance rendered by Lieutenants W. 14. Coming.. f the Barrow.. sod R. E. Tracey, of the Zuryalus, and by Lieutenant of the Semiramis, which contributed ..irgely to the a..cceils of the undertaking. 1.1. I forviiird, for their lordships' favourable notice, Oopie. of lettere I have received from Captains Hayes and Alexander, Lieutenant t'olonel Mother, Commanders Moresby ni l Eincd.on, and the surgeon of my flagship. and would beg 1.0, to draw attention to the testimony borne by thew respectively to the conduct of various officers and men whose duty was performed under their immediate directions, and in which I desire to assure their lordship. that 1 folly concur. 14. In addition to these reports it is my pleasing duty Ito record the high sense I entertain of the skill and gallantry displayed by the entire force under my command during the operstions above described. Of the fire main tained by the Tartar, in the conspicuous position I Lad noniine-1 to Captain Hayes as the senior cap. taM, soil of the gallant manner in which be was sup ported by Captain Franclieu, of the I .upleix, Captain de Man, of the Menden Krais, Captain W. M. Dowell, of the Barrows, 'set •n Van Kew. of the W.lambi, and Captain C. T. Geckle, of the Leonard, I cannot speak too highly. I beg leave also to hr ins ender their lordships' notice the zeal and activity disp'..iverr by Captain W. G. Luarsl, of the Con queror, Capt■in .1. H.. 1. Alexander, of the Eury►lua, Lieu tewant-Colonel W. 0. Sutber, commanding Royal Mario. Battalion, Commander J. Moresby. of the Argos, Corn gonads, Augustus J. Kiriptoo, of the Perseus, Commander 7..

Hariogton, of the Euryalus, who succeeds.' to the command of the Naval Brigade es Captain Alexander being wounded, as well as Captain do guild, of the Semiramis. Captain Muller. et the An.sterdam, Captain de Caaerribroot, of the, THE EXP: Medusa. and Lieutenant Palin, commanding the Tam:ride and I have to thank Lieutenant Pearson, of the United States navy, for the efficient assistance tendered by him in the chartered steam vessel Takiang, in towing boats, and for subsequently consenting to receive on board the wounded men of the squadrons. lb. To the hearty co-operation and the cordial goodwill diiplayed by Rear-Admiral Janres, during the preparations for sod the progress of these operations, I am deeply in debted ; I have endeavoured to express to that officer the satiafaction I have felt in having been associated with him in the conduct of this affair, and my appre ciation of the good service rendered by the able and efficient force under the Rear Admiral's command. I have also conveyed to Captain de Man, the senior officer of his Netherlands Majesty's ships, my thanks for the efficient co-operation and assistance of the squadron ender his command, u well as to Lieutenant Pearson of the United States navy, for the mediums with which he has sought to carry out my wishes on all ootesices. Without the cheerfully rendered and able support of these °Sun, and the perfectly good understanding which has prevailed throughout the allied squadron, the vary rapid and brilliant increases that have attended oar operations could scarcely have been secured without greater losses and considerable delay ; and 1 trust that the satisfactory result will receive the approbation of their lordships. 16. Much credit is due to the masters of the squadron for the skilful manner in which the various ships were ma meowed amongst numerous difficulties, and particularly to Mr. George Williams, master of my flagship , end Mr. John C. Sollleet, of the Conqueror, whose zeal and intelligence have deserved my special notice ; and the praiseworthy amp duct of Mr. James G. Liddell, of the Bouncer. the senior second master on the station, has been brought favourably before me by Lieutenant Holder, commanding that gunboat. 17. Mr. D. L. Morgan, surgeon of my flagship, has called my attention to efficient service rendered by the Medical Staff employed on shore under his directions, and to their devotion and attention to the wounded. I. I should wish also to bring under their lordships' favourable notice my secretary, Mr. Hawley H. Shanks, and Flag Lieutenant Robert P. Dennistoun, who mown pao ied me on shore and afloat throughout the operations, and rendered me valuable assistance. 19. To Major Wray, Royal Engineers, whcee services have been placed at my disposal by the War-office, I am indebted for much useful information as to the nature and position of the batteries ; and I have much pleasure in re cording my sense of the energy and zeal displayed by this ofEcer throughout the operations, and in the destine tion of; the batteries and magazines. Lieutenant Crowdy, Royal Lnensers, who accompanied the expedition at my request, with the permission of Lientenant•Colonel Browne, commanding her Majesty's troops at Yokohama, also ren. dered valuable service with his men, both whilst attached to the Naval Brigade, and subsequently in the embarkation of the heavy gum 20. Mr. J. F. Lowder and Mr. Ernest Satow, interpreters, attached to the squadron by Sir Rutherford Alcook, have afforded me every insistence, and have been most zealous in the performance of their duties. 21. Since the conclusion of these operations I have satis fied myself, by personal examination of the entire Straits, that no batteries remain in existence on the territory of the Prince of Choshiu, and thus the passage of the Straits may be considered cleared of all obstructions. 22. 04thel8th iset.,whilst the demolition of the batteries and the embarkation of the guns were in progress, an envoy of the Prince of Chcehiu came on board my flagship, under a flog of truce, charged, as be informed me, with inatrucr time from the Prince to negotiate for a termination of hos tilities. He produced document* said to have been written by command of the Prince of Choshiu, and stated that no opposition would henceforth be offered to the free pas of the Straits. The envoy also exhibited copies of letters to substantiate the statement, that in the various acts, of hostility towards foreign flags recently carried into effect the Priem had acted under the direct authority of the Mikado and of the Tycoon. 23. Having conferred with Rear Admiral Janda, who was present at the interview, it was determined that, to convince us of the 'enmity of the Prince's desire for peace, it was indispensable that we should receive a written requi• aitioo, under his own hand, to that effect; and the envoy having observed that an interval of two days would be re quired to obtain the desired communication, a stuipsseion of hostilities for that time was agreed upon, and the squad rons were immediately directed to hoist flags of trues. It was, however, stipulated, that the armistice should not interfere with the work of embarking the guns from the batteries, the in progress, and it was accordingly proceeded with and completed, as previously described. 24. True to the time named, at noon on the 10th inst., the chief councillor of the Prince of Choshin (Mod Idrumo) came on board the Euryalne, and placed before me a de spatch from the Prince (identical despatches being also brought for the senior officers of the allied @gumdrops). 25. The very satisfactory character of the Prince's written communication and its humble tom, a ff ord, in the opi n io n o f Rear-Admiral Jamie end myself, reasonable grounds for the presumption that, apart from the brilliant success achieved in a military point of view, and the great extent of the injury inflicted upon the Prince of Choshin, his power and pres tige, advantages of an important nature in a political sense, may very possibly result from the presence of the allied tomatoes in these Steads. I have duly informed Sir Ru therford Alcock of these events, and have placed at his dis posal the means of curnmunioating with me here, should be desire to do so. 20. A personal inspection of the Straits of Simone Seki has convinced me of the inexpediency, with the means at present available, of holding any position either on an island or on any portico of the mainland in the vicinity of the Straits. 1 do not, therefore, purpose carrying into effect that portion of the programme of the diplomatic represettativee forwarded with my letter of the 2Sth ultimo, No. 328. It is, however, my intention to main tain possession of the Straits by leaving here an English, a French, and a Dutch vessel of war, until the relations between the Tycoon's government, and those of the treaty powers, with regard to this portion of the territory of the Prince of Mishit' have been arranged on a satisfactory footing ; the pretence of the ships will, at the same time, afford a guarantee against the erection of batteries, which the Prince has engaged should not be again under taken. I have subsequently had a further interview with the envoys of the Prince of Choshiu, who have agreed, on behalf of the Prince, to the terms proposed to them as the conditions of the ommtion of hostilities, which will ensure the Straits remaining open for the future : the ratification of the Prince being now all that is required to complete the object for which the allied forces came to these Straits. 'IT. In conclusion, I have only to express my hope the operations I have had the honour of describing, and the results obtained, may receive the approbation of their lord- ships and of her Majesty's government.—l have, Ica., (Signed) A CUVIITCS L. Korn, Vies-Admiral and Commaoder•in•Chief. The Secretary of the Admiralty, London. ADICRALTT, Nov. 18. With referee°, to Vice-Admiral Sir Augustus L. Super's foregoing despatch of the 15th September, report ing the successful result of the operations in the Straits of Simono Seki, the following promotions have been this day made :—Commanders John Moresby and Augustus John Kingston to be captains ; Lieutenants Henry Lowe Holder, William Henry Catalog, William Arthur de Vied &owo. low, Richard Hastings Harington, and Richard Edward Tracey, to be commanders ; Mr. James Greenwood Liddell, Second Master, to be muter ; Mr. Richard Lovell Biwa Head.

THE SCNNINGHILL BIERDEE.—Within the last few days Mr. Superintendent Iremonger has been busily occupied in investigating the circumstances in coonezion with the murder of Mrs. Butler, in the lodge at Sunning bill-park. After much patient search in the oewly•ploogbed field on Mr. Creswell's farm at Great Marlow, BoeMughain shire, the clothes which were diso3vered in the adjoining hedge to the field cootaining the ricks under which the two tramps slept the night previous to their being taken into custody on the charge of mgrancy, have been dug up and recovered. The clothe., which at the time of their con cealment had been tied up in a bundle, were afterwards scattered on the field and ploughed into the soil They consist of an old black cloth jacket with pockets at the side, ac old pair of light striped trousers, and the lining of • pair of trousers. These articles of wearing apparel are supposed to belong to one or other of the two tramps, Thomas Gueat and William Smith. now prisoners in Aylesbury gaol, the former prisoner having received the largest sentence (three month). for, it is understood, re- j among the police when they att em pt e d t o ap prehend him. Immediately on the reception of the clothes, Mr. Superintendent lremouger thoroughly exa mined them, but could find no marks of blood, and they now remain in the hands of the police for further exa mination. In the meanwhile, all the leonine. made by the ' Berke constabulary would appear to maks suspicion point towards one of the tramps (whose characters are extremely j bad), now incarcerated at Aylesbury. Other valuable in- formation has been obtained by the police, but as its pub lication at present might probably defeat the ends of justice, it is better to withhold it just sow. It, however, seems dear that the tramps must have changed their clothes somewhere in the neighbourhood. Notwithstandiog the vary little grounds which the Berle polies have had to work upon, the information glesned daring the week will, it is sincerely hoped, tend to draw the net still closer round the real criminal, the safety of the scattered population of the rural districts demanding the swift punishment of the per petrator of this barbarous murder upon the person of an aged and defenceless women, cruelly killed upon the very threshold of her borne, close to the public highway, for no apparent motive but momentary revenge. FATALITIES AT LIVERPOOL FROM THE GALE...-. LI% LEPOot. FHIDAT.—A strong south-westerly gale com menced last night, and has continued at intervals during the day. t .aly a few minor shipping disasters have as yet been reported, but it is feared that some heavy casualties Lave occurred in the Chancel. This afternoon the ship Per severance fouled the ship Monsoon in the river, and lost her mainmast. Early this morning a esd accident took place at the North Haymarket. The roof of • new drill shed, which was being erected for the volunteer service, give way in consequence of the wind having loosened .ome defective timbers, and fell with a terrific crash, killing two of the workmen, and wounding several others. The Liverpool coroner Into hold an Inquiry into the case to-morrow. The abed was 150 feet long where the breakage took place, with • span of till feet. OHYSTAL PALACH. ONZ SHILLING DAT.— FRIDAY.

(Before the Judge Ordhary.) CODRISGTON r. COMING TON AND ANDERSON. UNCIAL J C RT. After our report left yesterday, Sir IL Phillimore read the following letter which Admiral Codrington bad written to Mr. Smith the respondent's father, long after the date of the alleged oonfessioos : "Malta, Friday, 10th May, 1862. - - - " Dear Mr. Sneak—Your letters came: simultaneously on Wednesday, the previous one having apparently gone to Genoa on its way. What • sad one indeed is the last ! It is a meet awful state of things. Yesterday I Liked H. (i.e. Hal?, the respondent) if she had written to you. She said, 'No. I said that it was • great pity, and that such • letter as I bad understood from you it was ought to have been answered at once. She said she could not have done it immediately, as it was • letter that required time and consideration before replying to it. I told our friends, Mr. and Mrs. Watson, the nature of the appeal made to H., and what was going on. I will now transcribe a note she sent me afterwards. ' The other evening, when the poor dear soul was seated on the ground beside me (Mrs. Watson was ill on the sofa, and Helen was sitting beside her on • cushion on the floor), she poured into my ears, whilst yoci and Rowley (Mr. Wet son) ware talking on the other rude of the fire, such things as conrince etc unalterably of her wandering mind. These things were to allusion to the royal house such as I could not put on paper, and which have no bearing whatever on Mr moth. My great desire to communicate this to you to- day was that some solace might be sent to that poor mother's heart to-morrow. If you thought well I should wish her (Mrs. S.) to know from me my firm belief, after studying her daughter closely and carefully, i that she s not responsible, and that she most not judge of her silence, or rather indiffer ence to her wishes, as she would in any other case. The poor mother would rejoice to think of her child as reeving rather than sinni no in such • matter. She cannot ace clearly —she cannot jail right , y with so much astray in the brain ; therefore we must not condemn her. I told Rowley the particulars : he says there can be no doubt.' 'ln copying the above, dear Mr. Smith, I have given you Mrs. Watson's exact words, and the underliniop are her own. Allowing it all to be • true picture—and H. has over and over again poured out to me nonsense of that sort, and about those persons, and about many others, too, which I not oily could not and would not put on paper, but which I cannot repeat—yet I feel that for the deterio rated state of her own =Lad and imagination, H. is herself answerable, inasmuch as it is owing to the long course of mental and bodily excitement that she has indulged in —in fact, to her life of self-indulgence that she has fallen into this wretched, I might say, de. raddstate, as • reasonable being." [The extract from Mrs. t a son 's letter appeared to cause some sensation m the court.) U, resumed Sir R. Phillimore. if Mrs. Watson wrote the letter transcribed by the admiral, she was one of the falsest witnesses that had ever stood in the box ; if she did not write it, then the admiral must have invented it, which was absurd. In fact, Mrs. Watson must take the choice of being the falsest or the most malignant of witnesses that bad ever tortured into • wrong meaning phrases which, if ever uttered at all—end !bathe very much doubted—had proceeded, as she herself well knew and admitted, from an excited brain. As regarded Lieutenant Mildew, he (the Queen's Advo- cate) could only say that Mrs. Codrington had dope all in her power to produce him as a witness. With respect to the letter signed " Lilian," it was rather • hard ease that a lady's desk should be taken from her and ransacked—those letters being produced which it was thought would make against her, and those carefully kept back which would make in her favour. It had been elia:ted yesterday that Admiral Codringtou knew who was the writer, and yet be had not dared to call her to explain her words. Their obvious reference was to the respondent's visit to her hus band's room, which had been spoken to by Captain Pick thorns. As to the charges of adultery in London with Colonel Anderson. they were wholly unproved. The wit nesses called in support of it were those amateur detectives who might be regarded as the natural appendages of the Divorce Court. The evidence of these persons was • most edifying story, and singularly illustrated the truth of the old adage, that "many things were true that were not credible." If he had been told that Admiral Codring ton could have set persons to watch his wife while the was living in his own house, that coming home from church he could have met the man whom he believed to have dia. honoured him, and could have stopped, shaken hands, and conversed with him in a friendly manner—if he (Sir Robert Phillimore) had been told that, he would never have believed it. But that was the tale of the admiral's own witnesses. This story involved a serious dilemma. Either the admiral did believe his wife guilty, and act in • meaner which was repulsive to believe ; or he did not believe it, and he must have since been egged on to bring the present suit by Mrs. Watson and his wife's diary. More charitable to the admiral than the admiral had been to his own wife, he would prefer to adopt the latter hy pothesis. The butler of the petitioner would, however, be produced, who would show that, on one of the occasions laid, Colonel Anderson only called to pay a farewell visit to the Codriegtons before he left town to De married. Then adultery was alleged to have been committed at the Grosvenor Hotel ; but there was no proof that the parties had ever been there. Even if they had, did people go to the Grosvenor Hotel to commit adultery in the coffee-room (A laugh.) Was ever such a thing heard of as an attempt to prove adultery at an hotel without producing some one from the hotel itself ! As to the letter to Colonel Anderson, which bad been found in her desk, there was no evidence to show that it was ever sent, or that it was anything more than a mere literary exercitation. He (the Queen's Advocate) believed that the domestic unhappiness of the parties had mainly arisen from the separate life which they so long led. Admiral Codringtou had formed his friendships, and Mrs. Codrington hers and it would be jut as cruel to say that Mrs. Codringtou ever cherished an improper feeling for Colonel Anderson, u it would be to say that Admiral Codriagton had do ne: so for Mrs. Watson. He denied that there was anything in the letter which de. served to be stigmatised as the production of an adulterous wife to her paramour. No doubt it was • very imprudent letter for a married woman to write ; but it was the letter of • woman whose husband had repelled her from his couch, and had sought in the company of 'mother that comfort and solace which he should have looked for only from her. It was impossible to say that • woman would write in such terms to a seducer who bad cast her off for another. It was rather such • letter as • foolish, neglected wife might write to her male friend who had been to tier in all her troubles and difficulties of life what her husband ought to have been. The jury must bear in mind that every single specific act, at which • third person could have been present, had .been contradicted ; and he trusted that they would by their decision read • v doable lesson to married life. He hoped they would show husband/ and wives that if they chose to live eeparate and apart in bed, at board, and in toasty, they would not be allowed upon mere sus picions and inneudoes respecting friendships formed out of the =flied circle to come to that court and obtain • release from • yoke which might have become hateful to them, but which it was not for the interests of society that they should be allowed to shake off. (Sir R. Plullimore, on resuming his seat, after his long and very able speech, was greeted with some applause, which, however, was in stantly stopped by the officers of the court.) Mr. Price then addressed the court for the co-respondent, remarking that the famous ease in which " chops a n d tomato sauce " was held to imply a promise of marriage had been fairly outdone ; for his learned friend (Mr. liovili), asked them to believe that "Dined G." meant "Went with Colonel Anderson to the Grosvenor Hotel, Pimlico, and there committed adultery." (Laughter.) The learned oounselstroagly insisted on the improbability that a person whose character stood so high as that of his gallant chest, and who was himself about to be married, would have acted in the disgusting manner which had been alleged; and after the convincing argument of the gusto's Advocate, sad the evidence to be adduced in its support, he conk. dandy claimed the verdiot of the jury in his favour. The following evidence was then given for the defence : Mr. Henry Peel Bird—l am solicitor to the petitioner, and am a friend of Mr. end Mrs. Watson. I was intro duced by than to the petitioner to conduct this snit. I have not had furnished to me any letter writteu to Admiral Codrington from Mrs. Watson. I asked him if he had such • letter as that described yesterday, and he said he had not. I communicated to him the purport of the letter alluded to. There was • general notice given to me to produce all letters received by the petitioner from Mrs. Watson. The petitioner told me that he did not recollect he had ever re ceived such • letter. He said he believed that he had not. The letter produced (that read by Sir R.. Phillimore) is en tirely in his handwriting. [The letter was then formally put in.] The petitioner satisfied my mind that be had no such letter from Mrs. Watson as that referred to. Before the petition was filed, I think I saw the admiral before the Watson spoke to me. He told me that Mr. Young, his family solicitor, had declined to conduct the case because be was not conversant with the practice of the court. This is the second ease which I have had here. Miss Eliza Josephine Horne—l was at Malta from 1859 to 1861. I remember a bazaar being held for the benefit of the Sailors' Home. Mrs. Codrincton and I assisted in making a screen for that bazaar. It was held. I think, in May. 1860. I was very intimate with Admiral and Mrs. Codrington. Outwardly, they appeared to lir. happily tog.. than ; bat in privet* they did not do no, according to my ideas. I tried to bring about a better state of feeling between them, both in Malta and in London. At Mrs. Oodrington's request I spoke to the admiral on the subject. He said it was too late. I had told him I thought that if he would tell his wife what be wished her to do, she would do it. Th a t w a s i n re f er ence to her going into eociety. There had bees a little frame between them.

I recollect, in August, 1860, trave with Mrs. Codriogton io Switzer land. The party was joioed by Mr. Mildmay. When we went to the Hospice S. Bernard, Mr. Mildmay left the party at the foot of the mountain, and want forward to *some rooms at the Hospice. On the night we stayed there, after my sister and I had retired to rest, Mrs. Codrington came to oar room. We discussed several subjects—the journey, the 'yenta of the day, and the like. Yrs Oodrington also made an arrangement with me to go to early man., and she requested my sister to cell her. The conversation must have lasted some time. During the tour Mrs. Codrionton was open in her manners, but always per fectly ladylike. By the Judge—We were only one night at the Hospice. The Rev. Mr. Day, father of the last wither, also stated that he had never observed the slightest impropriety of behaviour in the respondent. Richard Warraington—l was footman to Admiral Cod rington in November, 1863. I do not remember Colonel Anderson calling, but I remember seeing his card on a Sun day in November ; but I don't remember which Sunday. Cross-exiunined-1 have taken letters to the post for Hrs. Coddrington, but I don't remember how they were directed. I have never taken letters from her to Colonel Anderson's lodgings. At this stage the Court adjourned. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCREQUER.—Nov. 18. Sittings in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock and Barons Bramwell, Channel!, and Pigott.) FOSTVR F. GAMMON.—A TAILOR'S BILL. Mr. Huddleston ' Q.C. showed cause against • rule ob tained by Mr. J. J. Pow ell, Q.C., to set aside the verdict for the plaintiff, and for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was contrary to the evidence. The action was brought by a tailor and draper at Oxford, to recover a sum of 56/. 4s. td. for goods supplied to the defendant, the son of a deceased tradesmen at Birmingham, who had been placed with a farmer near Oxford to learn farming. The defendant was under age when be received the goods, and the question war whether a portion of them, amounting to about 321. 10s., were necessaries for a person in his position. At the trial which took plat* at Oxford before Mr. Justice Sheet, the jury gave damages for the full amount claimed. The plaintiff ran up the bill between November, 1962, and May, 1863, and it included, among other articles, the fol. lowing :—Silk velvet hunting cap, 1/. 15s. ; blue melton huntingccat, 4 guineu; pair of racing breeches, 2/. 25.; whit* silk racing cap, 10s. Gd. ; crimson ruin; jacket, 3 guineas ' • seven pairs of mauve Paris kid gloves, at 4s. each ; velvet hat, It. 16a. ; rosette, 71. 6d. ; and milk scarfs, 10s. 6d. each. The learned counsel said that the defendant was the son of a wealthy merchant, and as he went to learn farming as an amusement and not as a trade, it might well be supposed that he reasonably and fairly required articles of this description. He also said that his mother lived in an elegant villa in the neigh bourhood of Birmingham, and kept carriages and horses. It appeared that the defendant became of age on the 30th of May, 1963, and that 231. 10a. had been paid into court. Mr. Dowdeawell was also heard against the rule. Mr. 3. J. Powell, in support of the rule, said there was no evidence to show that the defendant's father was a wealthy merchant ; on the contrary, it appeared that he was only an ordinary tradesman, being a confectioner who sold buns and tarts and made vinegar. and that his widow did not lire in the style which Mr. Huddleston represented. It was intended that the defendant should get his living by farm ing, and he would have no money of his own until his mother's death. Under these circumstances be contended that the articles objected to were not necessaries bat luxuries, for which the plaintiff ought not to sustain his action. — Thecourt mid they would look at the llama is the bill before they gave judgment. THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET. Henry and Joseph Bannister (brothers), cowkeepers, in Upper Gower-mews, ware summoned before Mr. Henry, the chief magistrate, on the charge of keeping cows in the premises situated as above without a license, and in viola- tion of the Metropolis Local Management Act (11362), the 25th and 26th Victoria, c. 102. Mr. Lewis (of Lewis and Lewis, Ely-p lace ) prosecuted; and Mr. Abrams, of Sow-street, defended. The defendants pleaded guilty. Mr. Lewis said that under the above act no person could carry on the business of • 'oowkeeper in London, unless under a license from the magistrates. On the licensing day in October, 1863, the defendant applied for a license to continue the business of cowkeepers, which they had for some years carried on as above. The magistrates at first refused to grant the license, but after • strong appeal from Mr. Sleigh, who then appeared as counsel for the applicants (the present defendants), • license was grante nomi nally for one year, the magistrate, having no power to license for any shorter period, but on the under standing that the defendant, would not continue to avail themselves of it after the 24th of June. This condition the defendant, did not observe, but after the expiration of the year applied for another license, which was of course re fused. But even after the refusal of the tininess defendants; persisted in carrying on the business, and at present they had upwards of 70 cows oc the premises. They were now summoned for keeping cows there on the 7th November. They were liable to • fine of 5/. for every day on which they continued to infringe the act. Mr. Abrams said the defendants had an extensive busi ness, which they had carried oo io the same place tar SO years. Those who complained bad come to the nuisance, not the nuisance to them. They had endeavoured to fulfil their undertaking, and they had extensive buildings in pro. grees at Willeen, which would be completed in about three weeks. He hoped the magistrate would allow the summons to stand over for that time, when the animas, would be wholly abated by the removal of the cows. Mr. Henry said, if it was not intended to enforce the pe nalties, there could be no advantage in taking out sum monses at present. If the nuisance was continued the ap plication could be repeated. In that case he would certainly greet the summonses. The penalties, amounting to 10/., were paid. SOUTH WARM. • - - A few days ago a gentleman --- named Moses James Fielder , a shareholder ' obtained a summons against Mr. Leo Schuster, the chairman of the London and Brighton Rail way Company, for unlawfully getting into olio of the car riage* at the London-bridge terminus while the train was in motion, which was made returnable for yesterday afternoon. At the time appointed Mr. Hannan, the barrister, said he was instructed by Messrs. Faithful to appear for the defen dant, who totally denied the accusation. The complainant, however, from sonic can,, or other, did not think proper to appear, thereby treating the court with contempt. Mr. Woolrych ordered the summoning officer to call the complainant, which was accordingly done, but he did not ap C r. Hannan considered the conduct of Mr. Fielder as very disrespectful, and he had put Mr. Schuster to corivider able trouble and annoyance. He was here present to meet the charge, with a number of witnesses, who, if called upon, would put a different complexion on the ease. In fact the chugs yearned, with a vindictive feeling, to annoy Mr. Schuster and his co-directors. Mr. Wookych observed that u there was no complainant there was an end of the case. He was sorry that Mr. Schuster should have been put to so much trouble io attend ing. He supposed the complainant was mistaken, and con. sidered it wise to withdraw the charge. Mr. HAMM assured his worship that it wu perfectly groundless, which he wu in a position to prove. The M 3114001 wu then struck out, and the defendant and his friends kft the court.

Yesterday morning the inquest on the body of Mrs. Roche, 43 years of No, was resumed in Cannon-street-road, St. George's•in the- Fut. It may be remembered from the former report of this uses that the deceased had been but a few weeks married to Patrick Roche, 75 years of age, and of indepen. dent means. From the sudden death of the woman, and the appearance presented by the body , it was be. Hewed she was poisoned. The analysis of the stomach and intestines had bees entrusted to Dr. Letheby, who now stated to the commie that he found the liver much diseased from induration of tisane, and of a deep yellow colour. It yielded mercury to analy. sis. The deceased's tongue was' much swollen. Two of the bottles headed to him contained harmless mixtures. The third contained the remains of a lotion, in which there were abundant troms of mercury. Witness was of opinion that the symptoms arose from the disease of the liver, aggravated by swallowing the lotion in mistake. The symp- toms were quite consistent with natural muses in the first instance. Mercury would Dot have been a proper medicine for such a disease. The jury retained a verdict that de ceased died from natural muses, to wit, induration of the tissues of the liver, aggravated by the swallowing of a mer curial lotion inadvertently and by mistake.

MNCHZECTER, Not. 1.. z. —There has been a decidedly better feeling in the yarn niark , •: to. day, and all descriptions, both for shipping and eq. , have met with a ready sate, at an advance oo thc fozocir Id., and on the latter of ld. to 2d. per pouod, ea comr,r,i with Taesday's pricer. The yarn market closes to ott, with a decided upward tendency. The prevailing 01 , 111 in among sellers of yarn appears to be that if Mr. LincolL re-elected President of the United States the prices of 3iiri will probably continue to advance till they hare rearLel something neer to the high average they had attained b,fors the late peak set in. Business in the cloth market hie rt been nearly so active as in yarns. There is sufficient do. mead, but buyers are startled at the rapidity with irb.,l prices are forced up, and are compelled to pame. Although they themselves gave the first impulse to the reaction when things were at the lowest, they are iidisposed to follow the continued advance of prices. Manufsetaren find that they can obtain a considerable sdvauce to-day co the prices of Tuesday, but they are ,cable to obtain such at advance es will cover the serious rise in yarn and in tho raw material. The prices of cloth have gone up during the week or two at a rate which is almost unprecedented. bet mat as the progress they have made is, it has been far outstripped by the rapid 'Kluane in yarn aid cotton. The consequence is, that where orders are oderol for cloth to make, manufacturers are obliged to put on & pries which buyers are unwilling to give. This has led to s aback to-day, and the amount of business done has b.-r: small. The advance demanded on shirtinp is Ifd per ;h. u compared with Tuesday, and in the same proportioo printing and other cloths.
