MAGAZINE DAY,

BLACKWOOD.—" Tony Butler" is continued, and
there are great changes taking place in the move-
ments of the hero and his friend, the gay and dash-
ing Skeffington. A variety of incidents are met
with in this number, and the " Major" evidently is
destined to fulfil some memorable part in the story.
" Chronicles of Carlingford" does not bring anything very
striking before us in this part, with the exception of the
scene between Wodehouso and his sisters. Lucy shows a
natural spirit, and her indignation is quite justifiable. This
passage is well drawn, and exhibits a good description of
character, Mr Morgan's discomfiture also presents a warn-
ing to those who are too hasty in their judgments and rush
at conclusions without taking time for reflection or taking
a correct estimate of things. A harsh judgment is always
to be deprecated, and bitterly did the Rector of Carlingford
regret the hard measure he had dealt out to the Curate.
It is more in description of character and in pecu:iarities of
disposition that this author shines than in the narration
of events or the details of everyday life, Some of the per-
sons met with in these pages are admirably delineated,
while others are more or less exaggerated in their outlines.
" The Public Schools Report, Harrow and Rugby," forms
the subject of an interesting article, that is almost sure to
meet with attentive readers. It is very desirable that from
time to time the notice of the public should bo directed to
the consideration of cur public schools, concerning as they
do so intimately the well-being of the youth of this gene-
ration. The Report of the Commissioners seems to hr..,"

is the political article, and although by 'this time the sub-
jeot may have been pushed aside by ;,any, and more pleasant
topics of discussion selected, is incumbent upon those
a nation to descant upon the
who watch the affairs o;
various questions the are associated with that momentous
political crisis. Some striking truths are mot with in this
paper, and tlsough, of course, the other side of partisans
will den:y its premises and doubt its authenticity, still to
the impartial observer there is great truth to be met with
is its stern, but salutary exposition. Certainly, the mem-
' bers of an Administration that can be spoken of in such
terms, have not much to boast of when they keep office. It
is shown how the supporters of the Ministry in the division
were its opponents in debate; this was the most signal
proof of the want of faith that could have been adduced,
and it must have robbed the victory of its triumph
to reflect upon the unwilling agents who con-
tinued to effect its fulfilment, The very incon-
sistent course adopted by Ministers from the meeting
of Parliament until its close is very properly animadverted
upon, and there is only too much reason to regret the cote
reetness of the remarks made upon the melancholy and
humiliating position of a ruling statesman. When we are
told that the ghost of Lord Palmerston's reputation is
keeping the Ministry in nominal existence, who can deny
the truth of this statement. The writer of this spirited
article truly states that the only party which really
triumphed in the late division was the Peace party. This
interesting remind of public events may be confidently re-
commended to the rerusal of all those who wish to glean
an insight into the affairs which are now of such vital con-
sequence to the whole of Europe, and which, moreover,
are unfortunately associated with the honour and interests
of our country. This is excellent advice to all whom it
concerns. "We fear that Europe is only at the ,begin-
ning of her troubles, and it behoves England to watch nar-
rowly the conauct of the men who are now,at the helm of
affairs," " Cornelins O'Dowd upon Men, Women, and
Things in General," brings as usual some recent:sketches
of life and:character before us, and also there are too short
poems of average merit to enliven the contents of this
periodical. The studious reader will find ample enter-
tainment in the article on " Lewes's Aristotle," and in the
paper on " Victor Hugo on Shakspere," which brings be-
l
fore us a vivid delineation of the author's style, and fur-
nishes thereupon some very appropriate comments.

FRASER.—Diplomacy is not at present very
much in favour with independent Englishmen, who
have seen its stilted courtesies terminate in very
unceremonious actions, while its awful threats
prove an occasion to be Voxel praeterea nihil
Those who are not too much disgusted with the
revelations cf the blue-book on Schleswig-Holstein to care
to study its tortuous character, may turn to a lengthened
disquisition ou Diplomacy and Diplomatic History, which
opens the current number of _Fraser. We warn them, how-
ever, that it will be a serious undertaking, since 22 pages
of close print do not allow the author to exhaust his sub-
ject, but he promises to return to it at an early opportunity.
The reappearance of A. K. H. B. in the old familiar pages
is a welcome sight; and though the essayist does not fully
carry out his subject, it is better perhaps than wearing it
threadbare, as he was of old sometimes tempted to do.
" Concerning Unpruned Trees" is the title of his discourse,
and he takes care pleasantly to remind us, by moans of this
homely illustration, how many rough corners and sharp
edges we all present to the world. "A Campaigner at
Home," after• some reflections on church logic, gives us a few
quotations from what he,calls ",the gentle poets," a fair band
of poetesses, two of whom, alas I have sung Ili their last son gs,
A criticism on the second series of Mendelssohn's letters is
pleasantly written, and an article headed "A Pilgrimage
to Compostella" tells of the days when Santiago shared
with Rome and Jerusalem the favour of pilgrims. "It
has," says the writer, "been thought by same that, as the
names, " Roamer" and " Saunterer" were given to those
who visited respectively the city of the Popes and the
Sainte Terre of our Lord's ministry, so the name of pilgrim
or stranger was at first applied specifically to those who
resorted to the shrine of St. James, and only at a later
period used by travellers for devotional purposes in general ;
in the same way as many of the symbols of pilgrimage hal
originally a local significance, and the word Romero itself,
whichis often used in Spain for a pilgrim, has lost its distincr
tive meaning. "The Tianscendentalists of Concord" will
be a title rather perplexing to many readers who may not be
aware that Concord is the name of a village in Massa-
chussetts, about 20 miles from Boston, where Emerson and
his congenial spirits held their court. At this '6 Intellec-
tual Round Table," of which, according to the writer of
the present article, the author cf representative
men was the King Arthur, the most daring and
original thinkers of the new world assembled. But
it is after all a melancholy picture of the vanity of all earthly
gifts to satisfy the cravings of man's mind for something
higher and better than his present life, so long as genius is
to be his only guide. The picture, half satirically drawn by
a visitor—who did not belong to the charmed circle—of the
club meetings at Emerson's, shows that after all Transcen-
dentalism is not what is needed to reform the human race.
Can any one picture to himself a world exclusively com-
posed of such abstruse thinkers and speculative theorists ?
However pure and noble their aims, however exalted their
characters, theirs is not a life which ordinary men could
live—not thoughts and principles that could actuate every •
day mortals in every-day life. Yet the magic elixir which
is to inspire and elevate mankind must deal with the masses,
must be suitable for rioh and poor, for sage and fool alike—
must be equally within the reach of the exalted philosopher
and the toiling artisan. No petty distinctions of mental
power, any more than the divisions of worldly rank,
should suffice to bar any one from his share in the great
regeneration. Yet these philosophic thinkers have, after
all their declarations against ecclesiastical and aristocratical
tyranny, a tyranny of their own no less dominant and ex-
clusive—the tyranny of the intellect, more noble and
exalted it is true, but still a despotism. One only such
levelling influence has been found which can embrace all
degrees of wisdom as all ranks of society, which can recon-
cile those intangible antagonisms which are harder to deal
with than any material distinction; but that influence no
Unitarian will admit, and it is professedly to this Uni•
tarianism that this school of thinkers belongs.

DUBLIN.—" Maud Rufthyn and Uncle Silas," by
the author of" Wylder's Hand," has now become more
developed, and the story increases in interest. This
tale will become a favourite with the readers who
love mysterious incidents and admire the introduc-
tion of grim and fearful personages into the story.
Madame de la Rougierre was enough to terrify the
life out of any unfortunate young girl she had to deal with.
This woman will doubtless be an important character in
this story. She is well delineated in her peculiar style,
and when dealing with adults instead of with a child she
will appear to greater advantage. " Yaxley and its Neigh
bourhood" is continued, and Lisette's troubles do not cease
with time. She goes on a visit to Bessie, who has become
very much altered since her marriage, and some mysterious
incident seems to work in the background and spoil the
pleasure of tho visit. "An Irish Actress, Margaret
Woffington," is a very interesting sketch, and
ample jus ice is done to tho fascinating in-
dividual hero pourt rayed. A striking instance
is conveyed by the career cf this gifted woman of ,the in-
sufficiency of the world's renown, if peace of mind and
self-respect are not in the possession of the favoured indi-
vidual who has honours heaped upon him. There we's
many redeeming traits in Margaret Woffington, and these
are alluded to here ; she was not spoiled by prosperity or
rendered selfida by her good fortune. It is a touching
picture which is drawn of her later years when she lin-
gered out her liCe in retirement; of her it may truly be
said that her brightest moments were her last. The sketch
of her career is well worth parusing, and by its vivid rela-
tions it seems to pat a very cerrect idea 'of the great actress
before us. " The Last Sibyl" is rather a peculiar sketch in
verse ; it contains some good descriptions, and it is in
some passages very impressively written. " Ilibernian
Demonology and Fairy Lore" is a paper that presents some
curious subjects to our notice, and during its course will
doubtless furnish much to interest in the old world notions
and the visionary nature of such subjects. " The Grand
Tour" is continued, and the fifth excursion leads the
reader from Dresden to Vienna. We meet with some ins•
pressive relations of places of note, and incidents charac •
teristic of the different manners which reign there to thost
which flourish among us. " Charles Townshend, Wit, and
Statesman" is concluded in this number, it is written in I.
vigorous style, and brings before us the stirring incidents
of a long past day. This brilliant character W°).' de-

ea-
scribed here.'and the writer seems to have entered into the
spirit of his subject and placed him before us in a true light.
BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.—The relative prospects
of French political parties are not now so interest-
ing to the English reader as they once were, still a
paper on the present relations of Legitimacy and
Imperialism is not without some attraction for the
politician. The writer of this article is very strongly
opposed to the fusion which some Legitimists are anxious
to see brought about. Mr Dudley Costello has begun
another of his semi-comic tales in a narrative of the adven-
tures that befel Signor Tomkins in his summer tour, and
the first part of another story bearing the romantic title of
of litera-
" The Corsair's Bride" is mush of the same character. The
readers of Bentley, we presume, prefer this style
tore. More worth reading is an animated sketch of society
in 'Washington, which will especially gratify the ladies
from its giving an account of a marriage in high life in the
wedding of Governor Sprague with Miss Kate Chase,
daughter of the celebrated greenback financier. The de-
scription of the strong-minded American ladies is not a very
prepossessing one ; we should imagine, indeed, that the
writer had not been successful in obtaining those letters o 1

measure all things by computation, and gauge sentiments
and feelings by plummet and line as it were, instead of
rightly estimating the force of example and the sway of
opinion. "The Tyrol Jubilee in 1863" is an entertaining
account of a scene worth remembering, and the reader will
not share the delight of the writer that no one will be able
to see another " Jubilaum" unless he live to more than
half the years of Methuselah. " Margaret Denzil's History"
is not yet concluded ; but ft seems as if there was a remote
chance of its being so approaching, since " The Beginning
of the End" is the title of the last chapter here met with.
" The End of a Long Day's Work" is a pleasing sketch
that refers to the late Mr Senior. The details are given in
a simple and touching style, and must win the sympathy
of all who peruse them. It is truly said that now and then
it is a welcome and pleasing sight to see a complete picture
of life " as it were spread out before our eyes, to listen to
th 9 end of the story."

progress in this part, and the denouement rapidly
approaches. Mrs Gilbert cannot now excuse her-
Self on the plea of ignorance, for many tongues are
ready and willing to tell her of her improper con-
duct. Lady Gwendoline's advocacy is just what
might have been expected from such a person, and certainly
she went the worst possible way to work to gain her pro-
Posed end. Roland Lansdell is developed into a selfish and
unprincipled man, who deliberately plans the ruin of an
ignorant and misguided girl, just to suit his own fancies
and amuse his world-weary mind. "Broken to Harness"
presents some sketches of Barbara's home life. These
afford a useful warning to those who marry out of their
sPlaere, and do not take any pains to conform themselves to
the requirements of their new one. The picture drawn of
WA.olireledlSchroder, too, is very natural; and some of the more

The English Stock Market hes to.day shown a

In the Railway Share Market there has been a

EARTHQUAKE IN WALLACHIA.—At two in the
morning of the 14th inst. an earthquake was felt at
Kalarasch, a Wallachian port on the Danube, opposite
Siliatria, and a hurricane and deluge of rain prevailed for
2 hours afterwards. The buildings suffered greatly by the
earthquake, and the church, the hospital, and a large school
were reduced to ruins. A vessel lying in the port was com-
pletely broken up, and others were considerably injured._
King George of Greece, during his late tour
through his kingdom, requested, on his arrival at

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before a Special Jury.)
CODRINGTON V. CODRINGTON AND ANDERSON.
Mr Bovill, Q C., Mr Serjeant Ballantine, and Dr Spinkm
appeared for the petitioner; the Queen's Advocate, Mr
Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Inderwick for the respondent;
Mr Price, Q C., and Mr Swabey for the co-respondent.
The 'hearing of this case was resumed on Saturday by
the examination of
John Crocker, a cab driver, who had watched Mrs Cod-
rington, by direction of the Rev Mr Watson, He said—l
saw the lady riding about London and Hampton•court. On
one occasion in November, 1863, I saw her leave Taviton-
street and a gentleman joined. He was about 40 years of
age, which agreed with the description given of Colonel
Anderson. He did not know for a fact that it was that
person.

Cross-examined by Mr Hawkins, Q.C.—I left Hampton
Court on the 11th of July. Between that time and the 16th
I was to watch Mrs Codrington. I did so whenever I had
an opportunity of seeing her. I did not have interviews
with Lady Boucher, Mrs Watson, and Admiral Codrington
day by day. Mrs Codrington went out frequently, and I
followed her. She eould not go anywhere but what I fol-
lowed her, She did not know 1 was watching her. I
nearly always gave my reports to Lady Boucher.
Sometimes I gave a report to Mrs Watson. To Admiral
Codrington I have given a number of reports. I
left off on the 25th of July last, because I did not think I
was wanted any longer. I watched at Hampton-Court and
Eccleston-square, and then the lady came to London. She
then went to Sunderland House, Surbiton. I was not at
Wimbledon to watch her. I returned to what I considered
a distasteful business. I returned to it because my feelings
were appealed to. (Laughter.) Before I commenced my
watching I saw Lady Boucher. I cannot recollect whether
Mrs Watson was present. I watched Mrs Codrington from
the 4th to the 11th of September. I then gave it up because
it was an unpleasant piece of business. Upon my oath I
did not leave because I could discover nothing. Nothing
whatever was discovered during the time, which made it all
the more unpleasant to watch. (Laughter.) On the 31st
of October I received a letter from Admiral Codrington,
and I went to see him on the following day at half-past
8 o'clock (Sunday). I did not know Col. Anderson, but
Admiral Codrington had told me he was in town. I was to
watch hire. I saw him with Admiral Codrington afterwards.
The admiral shook hands with him, and they appeared to be
on good terms. There was nothing like quarrelling. They
shook hands at parting. I watched the house that day near
Eccleston-square until 3 in the afternoon, when I saw Mrs
Codrington come out. She drove to the east end of Eaton-
square, where she got out of the cab, but I lost view of her.
This occurred in consequence of her getting out of her cab
before I got out of the one I was in. I thought she might
have gone to church, so I remained till the service was over,
but I did not see her again. 1 was to be succeeded by a man
named Topp, but I did not know him. I went on duty the
following day because ho did not come. On the Monday I
saws her leave Eccleston-square, but I don't know whether
the admiral was then residing there. I watched her to a
house in Taviton-street. I cannot give a description of the
gentleman I saw get into the cab. I could not even see his
face. He was a tall man about 6 feet in height. That's all
I can say about it. I followed the cab to the Grosvenor
Hotel. I was but a short distance from the door when I
saw Mrs Codrington's cab stopped. I cant say that a gentle-
man entered this cab. I know I followed a cab in which I
supposed Mrs Codrington was, but it passed the admiral's
house in Eccleston-square. I thought I was wrong. Mrs
Watson, when she engaged me to watch, did not give me
directions how to set to work. All she said was that it was
an honourable occupation. I know of Mrs Codrington's
desk being taken from Eccleston-square. I was outside
the house when the desk was brought by the lawyer's
clerk. I took it to a house in Chester-square. I saw it
again in the house about an hour after. Admiral Codring-
ton, Mrs Watson, Lady Boucher, and I were present.
I don't know whose house it was. The desk was forcibly
broken open in the parlour. I had my share in this trans-
acticn, but I suppose I had got hardened to a distateful
work. (Laughter.) I took the papers out, and they were
looked over by all. The desk sad papers were afterwards
taken to the lawyer's office.
Re-examined—On one occasion I watched Mrs Cod-
rington from Hampton Court to London. On arriving in
town she entered a cab, which stopped at Simpson's, in
the Strand. A message was cent in, and the cab then
drove to Half Moon-street, Piccadilly, and to Spanish•
place, Manchester-square. I saw her on another occa-
sion enter Ford's Hotel in Manchester-street, Man-
chester-square, and after remaining there for two
or three hours she left, unaccompanied by any person, and
left London by train for Moulsey, where ehe was residing.
By the Queen's Advocate—lt is quite possible Mrs Cod-
rington might have only stopped.
Frank Stubb, porter at 43, Pall Mall, said—ln October
or November of last year Col. Anderson was stopping there.
A lady has called upon the colonel several times, but she
never entered the house. I recollect on ono occasion a
cab calling, in which there was a lady. Col. Anderson got
in and it drove off. It was the same lady that used to call,
It was about this time that Col. Anderson left the hotel, as
it was said he was going to get married.
By the Queen's Advocate—I cannot say positively
whether it was either October, November, or December.
Lam sure it was before he went away to get married.
William Topp—l am employed by solicitors to make pri-
vate inquiries. I knew Mrs Codrington. On the 2d of
November I saw her coma home alone, on foot. I can't say
train what direction she came, as she came from behind the
position I had talon up. When she got in the gas was
turned off.
By the Queen's Advocate—l am what you would call an
amateur detective. We charge 9s. a say, I can't tell how
I first became acquainted with her. 1 suppose somebody
told me it was her. I asked a girl who sells fruit in the
street, who the lady was, and she told me. I had a carte
de visits given me of the lady. I watched Mrs Codrington
for 20 or 30 days and nights. I commenced in November.
The circumstances that were to intimate to me that I might
give up watching for the night was that the gas in the hall
of the Admiral's house should be put out when the lady
arrived home. Mr Birch told me the Admiral had arranged
that as a signal.
Mr John Anderson, second cousin of Colonel Anderson—.l
know the lady the Colonel has married. The ceremony
took place at St. Germans, East-Lothian, in the August of
last year. The writing on the small piece of paper, viz.,
"Yours truly, D. A.," to the best of my belief is in the
handwriting of the Colonel. Colonel Anderson is now at
Malta with his regiment.
Mr Bovill here put in the diary of Mrs Codrington, found
in the desk when it was opened in Chester-square. Several
the letters were read which related to visit of "D.
and other engagements.
A carte de visits of Mrs Codrington was also handed in,
and Topp, in answer to questions, admitted that he had
never seen Mrs Codrington in the dress she was represented,
but he knew it was her portrait, as she was a remarkably
fine woman, and there could be no mistake about it.
(Laughter.) General Codrington also identified the por-
trait as that of Mrs Codrington, who, he said, was a person
of lively and sprightly disposition. Her manners were not
that of a foreigner rather than that of an Englishwoman,
although she had long resided in Florence. She was free,
ladylike, and agreeable. Strutt, the porter at 48, Pall-
Mall, also identified the portrait as that of the ludy who
used to call on Col. Anderson while he resided at the hotel.
Mrs Watson—l went to Malta in January, 1861, with nay
husband. We became intimate with the Codringtons. I
did not meet Mrs Codrington till August of that year. I
never took any meal with the Admiral alone. I never went
to the Admiralty House alone when Mrs Codrington was
away. At an entertainment given to the Princess of Lein-
ingen I received the guests, owing to the absence of Mrs
Codrington. I never went on board the admiral's ship
Asoph alms. 11rs Codiington seldom slept on board, but
the admiral was recommended to do so for his health. There
, has been nothing improper between myself and the admiral

The Queen's Advocate said that no such imputation had
been made.
At Valetta, Mrs. Codrington and I became intimate in
nursing a sick friend. She said, speaking of Mildmay,

that he had an unfortunate attachment for her. I warned
her, but I had no idea of guilt. I was alarmed when one
day she said, " Take no notice, lam going oat." She
was in:a loose dressing gown. I said, " She couldn't do it;"
She said, "He is frantic ; I must see him." I said, "You
won't go alone, I will go with you." She said, "I will
give it up. I misunderstood her. She merely wisher' to
speak to him." I said, " I could not permit so unwise a:1
action in a friend ;" and she did not go out. Another time
she said they had been preparing a screen for a bazaar, and
had been sitting up to do it—Mildmay,t.he Admiral, and Miss
Horn. The Admiral had been tired and had gone to bed. In an
hour thay all retired, Mild may leaving the house as she had
supposed. When she was ready for repose, she had re-
membered leaving something in the ()flied. She had gone
in, and to her horror found Mildmay still there, his head
between his hands on the table. She had said to bim,
" Why are you not gone ?" Ho had said he was miserable.
She triel to soothe him, but ineffectually. She had then
said to him, " Wait a minute, I will got my dressing-
gown," and she icy down on the sofa in the office. He
had attempted to use violence to her, but she had resisted,
and bit him on the cheek. On a third occasion she
told me that she had found Mildmay in her room one
night. She hal asked him to leave the room, but use-
lessly, and he stayed till early morning. I said—
" Did you escape insult ?" She said—" How can you
talk such nonsense ? I woke in his arms." My
impression was that the seal of infamy was not yet
set. At a subsequent period she made another communica-
tion to me. That communication has never yet passed my
lips, as she made me give her an unconscious promise not
to repeat it. Now she has subiceoaed me to this cour(, I
am released from my promise, and I am bound to speak the
truth. On Nov. 13, 1861, Mrs Codrington came to our
house. We expected her at i ; she was an hour and a half

late. She went into my bed room, and sent a message to
say she wished to speak to me. Mr Watson, as I was not

well, asked her to coma down. After tea I saw her alone.
She immediately barst into a fit of weeping. She said Mr
Mildmay had walked with her up a lane near our house, and
that the deed was committed. When she was in my room
sho said, " You won't speak of what I tell you." Previously
I had implored her to forbid him the house, which she
did. She locked up his presente, and I ,hoped for reforma-
tion. The admiral at this time seemed dissaUsfied. A
coldness arose between me and Mrs Codrington, and I
asked her the reason. She said she was jealous of my in-
fiance with the children. I said this was absurd, as, before
going to Naples she had especially committed them to my
care. I looked at her, and at last I said, "Da you think
I have told the admiral my confidence ?" She said, " I
think you have." I referred the question to the admiral,
and he at once denied everything of the kind. There was
a scene of a very painful character which passed between
myself, the admiral, and his wife. She accused me in
his presence of an undue intimacy with him. We were
both very indignant. The Admiral went away, and
at last she knelt at my feet and said, " Forgive
me, forgive me; I don't believe anything of the kind.
This scene had been preceded by some report of a similar
tenor, which had reached me through a friend. I said I
would forgive her if she would give me a written denial of
the whole. She told the Admiral of her repentance, and of
her disbelief of the reporfs about us. I was not satisfied
with the expression "improper intimacy" in her first
written apology, and she wrote another. They were written
July 11, 18d2. I only wish to show these letters to the
one friend who mentioned to me the report, and I told Mrs
Codrington I would return them afterwards to her. I did
so. After the confidence made in me, I did not like the tone
of her remarks. I could not keep longer in communication
with her, though at first I thought she -was penitent.
This was in Dec., 1861.. Of course, in society outward
appearances was observed between us.
Here the court rose.

HER MAJESTY,

OSBORNE, July 30.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
of Wales and the infant Prince Albert Victor,
attended by the Hon. Mrs Stonor and Captain G.
Grey, arrived yesterday on a visit to the Queen.
The Prince and Princess and the young Prince
and suite are occupying Osborne Cottage.
The Dean of Westminster and Lady Augusta
Stanley have arrived at Osborne, and had the honour
of dining with her 1115jesty and the Royal family.

SUNDAY.
The Right Hon. C. P. Villiers arrived at Osborne
yesterday, and had an audience of the Queen.
Her Majesty and her Royal Highness Princess
Louis of Hesse drove out in the afternoon, attended
by Major General Seymour.

On the learned judge taking his seat this morning,

Approaching Marriage in nigh Life,
We understand a marriage is arranged to take
place between the Hon. George Henry cadogan,
eldest son of Viscount Chelsea, with Lady Beatrice
Craven, fourth daughter of the Earl and Countess
Craven.

The Queen's Advocate (tor the respondent) said, in her
evidence on Saturday, Mrs Watson had made a statement
to the effect, that on the evening of the 13th of November,
1861, at Malta, Mrs Codrington had admitted that she had
committed adultery with Lieut. Mildmay. That statement
had come up them all by surprise, and he felt, as it had not
been previously mentioned in the bill of particulars, it was
of the highest importance that some delay or adjournment
should take place, because he was in a condition to
state, that by sending to .Malta ho could obtain
evidence which would clearly show that such a state-
ment was entirely without foundation. It would be im-
possible for him, to carry on his case, which was, of the
most vital interest to the respondent, with such a statement
hanging over her, because if that one statement was untrue
it would damage the credibility of the rest of the witnesses'
evidence. He did not see how the request he had to make
could be refused by the counsel for the petii incr.
Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., followed on the it me side, hull con-
tended that, as the respondent was unable to give her evi-
dence in court, t was fair that every facility should be given
to her to disprove the charges made against her.
Mr Bovill (for the petitioner) objected to an adjournment.
The Judge Ordinary suggested, as the matter had come
upon all by surprise, it might be so arranged that, as there
were two distinct branches to the case, that against Colonel
Anderson might be proceeded with. It was of the highest
importance to all parties that all the facts should be elicited.
Perhaps a consultation might facilitate the matter.
The learned counsel then left the court for a short time,
but on their return

Mr B )vill said he was compelled to say he could not
agree to abandon any portion of the case. He also felt
bound to ask the learned judge to go on. His learned
friends had subr cenaed Mrs Watson, and they ought not
now to ask for adjournment. . . _

The Judge Ordinary said adjournments in such painful
cases as the present were always to be deplored, but the
statement made by the witness became a very important
element in the case, Neither side seemed to have been
aware of the statement made by Mrs Watson until last
Saturday, and it was important it should be considered. It
was said that the statement was utterly untrue, but as the
matter stood it most seriously affected the case with respect
to Lieut. Mildmay, It was therefore desirable to know
whether Mrs Codrington had said that which had
been imputed to her, and an opportunity ought to be
given to have the matter clearly settled. Lieut. Mildmay
might not have been at Malta at the exact period mentioned.
Either Mrs Codrington did or did not make the statement,
and it was important that- point should be settled, as it
would materially affect Mrs Watson's evidence. Suppose
a case that the jury had given a verdict for the plaintiff.
On the first opportunity the Queen's Advocate
would come into court, and on tho ground
of surprise, ask for a new trial. He would
say here is a matter which sprung up during the
trial and which had influenced the decision of the jury, and
here are sworn affidavits showing the matter to be untrue.
Under the tale of the Court, a rule for a new trial would be
granted. and he considered the Queen's Advocate, in the
objection ho had made now, was placed exactly in the same
position as he would occupy when asking for a
new trial. It was a cause of regret that there
should be any delay, yet there was no help for it; and he
therefore should postpone the further hearing until next
term. He thought. it would be convenient it the form of
the order to be applied for was at once stated.
The Queen's Advocate said he should merely ask for the
order to examine certain witnesses at Malta.
The Judge Ordinary directed that the witnesses should
be examined by interrogatories and not viva voce, because
by that means the exact particle of evidence wanted would
be got at without having a great deal of matter which was
not of the slightest utility.
The Judge Ordinary—What is to be done suppose some
of the jurors are prevented from being present on the day
to which I adjourn the ease, viz., the 9th of November ?
Dlr Bovill said the Queen's Advocate agreed to go on,
with thi; permission of his lordship, with as many of the
jurors as wouid be in attendance,
The case, which ;,2s created an extraordinary interest,
therefore stands over for til:ee months.

The Queen, with the members of the Royal
Family at that time at Osborne, will leave the Isle of Wight
on the 15th proximo for Windsor Castle, where her bia-
jesty will remain about a week, and then take her depar-
ture for Scotland, with the intention of residing at Balmo-
ral for a month. After that period the Court will return
to Windsor for the winter season.

The Prince and Princess of Wales will reside at
Osborne for about a fortnight, and then take their departure
for Abergeldie. Six weeks afterwards the Prince and Prin-
cess will leave their Highland estate for Sandringham.

THE EMPRESS JOSEPHINE, NAPOLEON'S FIRST
WIYE, is to have a statue in Paris, on the square before the
Alma bridge.

SPORTING NOTES.

The Goodwood meeting was one of the most successful
that has ever taken place, both as regards the large fields
for the various races and the number of fashionable and
aristocratic visitors. The Prince and Princess of Vales
arrived early on Wednesday. The first race was the Trial
Stakes, for which Fairwater was made the favourite, but the
old mare could only get third, Anglo-Saxon, who was
patiently ridden by Fordham, winning on the post by a
short head. Lard Westmoreland pulled off the 10 sovs
Sweepstakes with Lady of Coverham, The Lavant, from
the absence of Liddington, was an open race, despite the re-
putation of the French Le Mandarin. Longdown, Drewitt's
representative, was the finest looking young one of the lot--
an extraordinarily big colt, with fine quarters, own brother
to Blackdown ; but he looked a trifle unprepared, and there-
fore his evident merits were passed over by the knowing
ones, who went for the Frenchman and nothing else.
He cut badly, and the Lewes horse won all the way.
He was backed for the Derby, after the race, at 30 to 1, and
Le Mandarin's pretensions to the blue riband are, we pre-
sume, sent to the right-about. Then came the event of the
day, the Stewards' Cup, for which the large number of
40 horses was telegraphed. Breaks away, in which Lady
Clifden principally distinguished herself; became at last
too numerous to take count of, and we sat down on the roof
of the stand and waited as we best might, until the roar of
many voices proclaimed the welcome " They are off." Of
course there were a large number backed, Saccharometer,
who had been favourite at the first publication of the
weights, yielding the pas to Marigold, who made her first
appearance after a long seclusion, and fully justified the
confidence her noble owner and his friends placed in her. She
was in the front rank from the first, and though Flying Fish
looked like a winner at the enclosure, she died away to
nothing at the halt distance, and to Marigold, Argonaut,
and Crisis was the issue left. It was a race, though Lord
Westmoreland's mare had always the best of it, and she
won with comparative ease. Saccharometer was never
in it, and there was considerable tailing among the field.
Loud cheers greeted Lord Westmoreland's success, and we
are glad so handsome a trophy fell to him. He also
gained more substantial results from the mare's success,
and landed a good stake. She was in splendid condition,
and won like a racer. The first event decided on Wed-
nesday was the Drawing Room Stakes, which Knight of
Snowdon won. Fordham again distinguished himself in
the 300 sovs Sweepstakes, on Idler, upsetting a very hot
favourite in Ascham, on whom they laid sto 4. At the
distance Fordham brought up his horse, reached Ascham
at the stand, and won another splendid race by a head.
There was a woful falling off for the Stakes, when the seven
indifferent performers made their appearance, took their
preliminary canter, and then marched slowly past the stand
in Indian file. Thalestris, after she had taken her canter,
was not so warm a favourite as before. The verdict on her
was not favourable, but she still maintained her position in
the betting from no one being able to select a winner from
the other six. William the Silent looked the best goer of
the lot. Mr Parr's horse was improved in appearance, but
still few fancied him. There has not been another instance
of a horse starting with odds on him or her far the Good-
wood Stakes, and suffering such easy defeat, as Lord
Coventry's worthless jade did here. She made the running
at a pece which, as the lot rounded the hill, became
" a clinker," and on their coming into the turn
for home, they were all together ; soon, afterwards, how-
ever, Thalestris was evidently in difficulties, and the me
left to Guerilla, Blondin, and the Frenchman, Mr Parr's
horse winning with ease by half a length, amidst the up-
roarious cheers of the fielders. Never was so great a
favourite so disgracefully beaten. Deerfoot and Olivia
made a fine finish of it in the Handicap Plate over the
Craven Course, the former winning by a head in the last
stride. The Findon brought out Zambezi to try conclu-
sions with the Derby outsider, Ostregor, and Koenig, and
see if the 5113 extra was not too much for him. Ostregor is
a fine upstanding colt, with a great deal of promise about
him, and was backed by some money. Zambezi tried under
the weight; and Ostregor, running very gamely, got the
race out of the fire in the last stride by a head.
The Cup Day was again honoured with the Prince
and Princess of Wales. After Old Orange Girl walked over
for the Twelfth Bentinck Memorial Stakes, three entered
an appearance for the Thirteenth Bontinck, which was ex-
pected to produce an exciting struggle between Ely and
Baragah. Odds were freely laid on the former, but he
never had the ghost of.a chance. as the latter made all the
running, and won, hands down. by six lengths. Baragah
was afterwards backed for large sums for the St. Leger,
and it will take the favourites all their time to dispose of
him. He is one of the best bred horses in the race, aed is
better worth investing on at his present price than any
other, as John Scott is very fortunate in winning St. Legere.
the Cup was an easy victory for Dollar. The Chesterfield
Cup was won by King of Utopia, who only managed to
beat Skeffington by a neck,

DROUGHT IN THE MIDLAND COUNTIES.—Very
general complaints are made in the counties of
Notts, Derby, Lincoln, and Leicester of the continued want
of rain. The Trent is lower than has been known for seve-
ral years, and the pasture lends are as barn almost as the
high roads. Allusion was made to :he subject in numerous
pulpits on Sunday last. The wheat crop looks well, but
these is danger of the ears ripening too fast.
