N INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before thei Judge Ordinary.)
'CRETIVTND V. CHETWYND —CONTEMPT OP COURT.
This was a suit instituted by the wife for dissolution of
marriage on the ground of adultery and cruelty. A rule
nisi had been obtained for an attachment against a Mr
bluloch. an elderly gentleman of some standing and posi-
tion in the county of Stafford, nr contempt of Conn, in
writing a letter to the petitioner, Mrs Chetwynd, dated the
16th of July, threatening that unless she discontinued pro-
ceedings in this case against her husband on or before the
ahh inst., he would publish, on his own responsibility, all
the particulars he knew of her case, accompanied
by a statement of her career both before and
after her marriage. Mr Muloch a few days ago
appeared in court, and, after having entered at
great length the Judge Ordinary ordered him to refrain from
Publishing such a statement, Lut Mr Muloch still refused,
and he was ordered to attend in court to-day. The learnad
Judge at great length expressed his opinion that, according
to the authorities on the point, Mr Muloch had been guilty
of a contempt of Court, and he therefore fined him £3OO,
but directed, at the same time, that the fine was not :o be
enforced until next term, during which period Mr Muloch
would have an opportunity of reflecting upon his posi-
tion, At that time he should be quite ready to hear
4°Y statement that might be made for the reduc-
tion or the fine, but daring that period, if Mr
Moloch did anything to the prejudice of Mrs Chetwynd
he would be liable to a further fine or imprisonment.
Mr Mulock then left the court with his friends.

(Vefore a Special Jury.)
CODRINGTON v. CODRINGTON AND ANDERSON.
This was a suit instituted by Admiral Codrington for
dissolution of marriage on the ground of the wife's adul-
tery with the co-respondent, Colonel David Anderson, of
the 22d Regiment of Foot, who denied the charge. The
respondent, in addition to denial, pleaded that if
ahe had committed the adultery it had been con-
doned by the misconduct of her husband. Adultery
Was also charged with a Lieutenant Mildmay, but he was
Dot made as co-respondent to the suit. There were two
children the issue of the marriage. No damages were
asked for by Admiral Codrington.
Mr. Bovill, Q C., opened the case for the petitioner, and
at great length detailed the circumstances of the marriage,
Which took place in 1849, and he then proceeded to enter
;.ver, minutely into the facts of the case, and he told the
,ttrY he thought he should place before them such evidence
that would leave on their minds of the truth of the allege-
t"ens of the petitioner. The learned gentleman was pro-
ceccling with the opening speech when we went to press.

are now taken by them as low as 71- and 7:1 per
cent,, and the tendency is still in the direction of
lower rates.

The weekly return of the Bank of E °gland pub-
lished yesterday is not of so unfavourable a charac-
