MARK-LANE.
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, yet all kinds moved off
slowly, at about previous quotations. Barley was firm in
price, and most other descriptions of produce moved off
steadily, at extreme rates.
No change of importance has taken place in the value of
grain on the Continent. The latest advices from New
York bring fluctuating markets.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were only moderate. The imports from abroad were 23,802
quarters of wheat, 3,700 barley, 35,821 oats, 600 beans,
12,311 peas, 7,106 linseed, 5,600 rapeseed, 365 sacks, and
29,895 barrels of flour.
Fresh-up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, the ar-
rivals of home-grown wheat were very moderate. The show
of samples was consequently small. The attendance of
buyers was limited, and the demand for both red and white
qualities was heavy at, in some instances, a decline in the
quotations, compared with Monday last, of from is to 2s
per quarter.
There were a few samples of new wheat on offer in mid-
dling condition. One parcel from Essex sold at 55s per
quarter.
There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the
stands, and sales progressed slowly on rather lower terms,
say ls. per quarter.
We understand that heavy shipments of wheat have been
made from Dantzig•
The supply of both English and foreign barley was
limited. On the whale, the trade ruled firm at last week's

prices.
Malt—the supply of which was moderately good—was in
fair request on former terms.
Although the arrivals from abroad have been large, oats
were film in price with a good consumptive inquiry.
The few beans on the stands wefts taken off at extreme
rates.
Scarcely any peas were in the market, And the inquiry
for them ruled steady, at full prices.
Both English and foreign flour was dull but not Cheaper.

7 per cent., the public sales of colonial wool have gone
off with rather less activity since our last report. The
buyers have, however, operated largely, and the rates cur-
rent at the commencement of the sales have been steadily
supported. But few foreign buyers are in attendance,
and the business doing for export is very moderate. Over
40,000 bales have already been disposed of, at the following
prices for the qualities enumerated:—Australian—Good
clothing, is 111 d to 2s 7bd—do. combing, is lld to 2s 7d—

lish wool, in the private contract market, from the same
cause has, to a slight extent, affected the public sales of
colonial wool, has commanded rather less attention. Never-
less prices have ruled stationary.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-July 30

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before a Special Jury.)

CODRINGTON P. CODRINGTON AND ANDERSON.
Mr Bovill, Q.C., Mr Serjeant Ballantine, and Dr Spinks
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 ease 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 could 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 him. 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-equare until 3in 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 cousequeuce 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 he did not come. On the Monday I
saw 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, wben she engaged me to watch, did not give me
directions how to set to work. AlLshe 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 hoar after. Admiral Codring-
ton, Mrs Watson, Lady 13ouctier, and I were present.
I don't know whose house it was. The desk was forcibly
broken open in the parlour. had my share in this trans-
action, 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 oab, 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 is Manchester-street, Man-
chester-squad', and after remaining there for two
or three hours she left, unaccompanied by any person, and
left London by train for Moulsey, where she 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
stoppings there.
A lady has called upon the colonel several u she
never entered the house. I recollect on one occasion a
cab calling, in which there was a lady. Col..nderson got
in and it drove off. It was the same lady that treed to call,
It was about this time that Col. Anderson left the i:otel, as
it was said he was going to get married.
By the Queen's Advocate—I cannot say positive,?
whether it was either October, November, or December.
I am 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 soma home alone, on foot. I can't say
from what direction she came, as she came from behind the
position I had taken 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 day. I can't toll how
I first became acquainted with her. 1 suppose somebody
told mo 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 visite 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 Andersdn, second cousin of Colonel Anderson....
I know the lady the Colonel has married. The ceremony
took place at St. Germans, East-Lothian, in the August of
last year. Tho 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 Bevil 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. A."
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 know 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. Sho was free,
ladylike, and agreeable. Strutt, the porter at 48, Pall-
Mall, also identified the portrait as that of the lady who
used to call on Col. Anderson while he resided at the hotel.
Mrs Watson—I went to Malta in January, 1861, with my
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 Codringten 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 alone. Ilrs Codrington 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
