WEBSTER'S DIVORCE BILL.
HOUSE OF LORDS, July 22.
The Lord Chancellor and other Peers formed a House
at half-past three o'cicck for the second reading of this
Bill.
Mr. TALBOT stated the petitioner's case, and from his
statement and the evidence it appeared that the pe-
titioner, Henry Boddington Webster, is nephew of
the late Sir Godfrey Webster and son of the late
Sir Henry Webster. The lady whom he mar-
ried was marrie.d twice before, first to a gentle-
man, named Mellish, who lived in India, and, after
his death, leaving two children by her, she married the
late Arthur Fitzroy Somerset, who was killed in battle
in India in 1844. She had no child by him. She
came afterwards to England with her children by
Mr. Mellish, and, being a lady of great attraction,
she won the affections of the petitioner. They
were married at the English Embassy in Paris,
in March, 1850. Lady Webster was present at the mar-
riage. The petitioner was then about the age of 24 years.
The lady must have been above 30, but no one would
take her to be of that age. Her daughter by Mr. Mel-
lish was then between eight and nine years. They
first went to St. Germans to reside, but soon came to
England and resided with Lady Webster at her
house at Roehampton. The ladies did not agree, and
the result was that Lady Webster settled 2,0001.
a year on the petitioner, and he and his wife deter-
mined to spend the winter and spring on a cruise in
the Mediterranean. He became possessed of a yacht,
and it was arranged that he and his wife, and her
daughter and governess, and lady's maid and valet, and
other servants, should embark in September, 1850.
They were accompanied by Mr. Adolphus Graves and
Mr. Frederick Bassett Wingfield, intimate friends of
the petitioner, and also of Lady Webster. They pro-
ceeded first to Gibraltar, thence to Malaga, Port Ma-
hon, Algiers, and Naples. Mr. Graves left them at
Malaga ; but unfortunately Mr. Wingfield continued
with them, and became the author of the mis-
chief that afterwards happened. Certain freedom of
manner wa ; observed to grow up between him and Mrs.
Webster at Port Mahon, and a corresponding coldness
was noticed towards her husband. Instead ot being the
affectionate and good-tempered wife that she had been in
England and France, she became harsh and repulsive,
and at lest refused to admit her husband to her sleeping
cabin. That was situated near the maid's cabin, re-
mote from Mr. Webster's cabin, but accessible to that
which was occupied by Mr. Wingfield. Whilst at Port
Mahon, during Mr. Webster's absence from the yacht,
on two several occasions, his wife having feigned illness,
so as not to be able to accompany him to the opera,
there could be no doubt that acts of adultery were com-
mitted by her with Mr. Wingfield. Mr. Webster had
not then any suspicion of such intimacy, although he
more than once remonstrated with the lady on her
coldness to himself. On coming to Naples the
lady's maid and the valet observed such conduct
as left no doubt of the adultery having been frequently
committed. They informed Mr. Webster of wharf they
had seen, and on the 6th of January, 1851, having
reached Naples on the sth, he went ashore, and, after
consulting such friends as he met, Mr. Temple, the Bri-
tish Minister, among others, he, by their advice, returned
to the yacht, and gave directions that Mr. Wingfield
should leave. He dial leave; and after that Mr. Webster
Bent Mrs. Webster on shore, providing suitable mainte-
nance for her. From that time Mr. Webster has not
seen the lady. Mr. Wingfield has not since visited Eng-
land, so that it was impossible to bring an action against
him, but proceedings wore forthwith taken in Doctors'
Commons and a divorce a mensa, &c., has been obtained
there on
the 3d of the present month.
The
marriage was proved to have been performed in
Paris on the lith of March, 1850. What the lady's age
or maiden name were did not appear.

A very interesting and exciting case was tried yes-
terday before Judge Larue, of the First District Court.
The plaintiff in the case was Mrs. Wilhelmina Fabler,
who petitioned the Court for a writ of habeas corpus
against Mrs. Josephine Dewey, to require her to pro-
duce in court the body of a certain infant child,
named Augusta Wilhelmina, aged twelve months, whose
lawful protector and custodian she claimed •to be, by
virtue of the following facts:—When the said child
was about two months old, it was left at the door of
a house in Rampart-street, adjacent to the residence
of Mrs. Fabler, who, at the request of some persons,
undertook its charge, and faithfully performed her
duties, until about seven months ago, when, having
to go to Ilavannab, she left the child in charge of
' another person, who delivered it over to the father of the
corporation, our worthy mayor, by whom it was delivered
to Mrs. Dewey, who now refuses to surrender it. Mrs.
Dewey, in answer to the writ, produced the child in
court, but contended that she had the nine points of the
law in her favour—to wit possession—that she had
taken good care of the infant, and would continue to
do so ; she therefore resisted the pretensions of
Mrs. Fabler. The little unconscious infant lay in the
lap of Mrs. Dewey during the argument of the case, and
amused itself by crowing, and cutting other infantile
capers, very much to the delight of its assumed parent,
the annoyance of the sheriff, and somewhat to the
discomfiture of the learned lawyers in the case,
whose grave expositions were interrupted in rather
an undignified manner by what old Horace called
the vagitus infantum. The testimony, which was
to the foregoing purport, satisfied Judge Larne that
neither claimant had a natural right to the child.
For this reason he did not consider the rule laid
down by Judge Solomon in a celebrated case, re-
ported in the books of the judges, as a proper one
for this case. His honour the mayor having waved
all claim to the property in dispute, the contest was
between two ladies, whose characters did not satisfy
Judge Larue that they were either of them very sate
depositories and guardians of a little.) tender blossom
of womanhood. So, after hearing both parties, and
looking very expressively at the little round-faced,
bright-eyed, chubby-cheeked cherub, the Judge pro-
ceeded to render a decision. The Judge said he did
not, consider it would be safe to leave the child with
either claimant, and as it was the duty of courts to pro-
tect the unfortunate and helpless, ho should direct the
child to be sent to the Camp-street Asylum, where, un-
der the care of those noble matrons, the Sisters of Cha-
rity, it would be properly taken care of, and reared up in
virtue and usefulness. He therefore ordered that the child
should bo taken by the sheriff and delivered over to the
Orphan asylum, and the entrance fee he would pay him-
self. The fat, jolly deputy sheriff then advanced to Mrs.
Downy, who with a loud outburst of sorrow and lamen-
tation delivered the child into the outstretched arms of the
officer, whereupon the little Wihelneina, in spite of the
very amiable and fascinating look assumed by the sheriff
for the occasion, raised a most vigorous outcry, which rang
through* the court buildings, to the great alarm of
many anxious papas who were there assembled. At
the same time Mrs. Fabler, the plaintiff in the habeas
corpus, also josued in the general cry, and thase
three voices, together with the urgent expostulations
in basso of the sheriff, made as effective a quartet
as wo have heard for a long time. Finally, how-
ever, the little one was borne off in triumph by
the deputy sheriff, and is, no doubt, whilst we now write,
sleeping sweetly and innocently in a neat clean little
cradle, -,faithfully watched by those tenderest of all
parents—those Sisters of Charity, virtue, and philan-
thropy, who devote their lives and affections to the pro-
tection and nurture of the children of misfortune.—New
Orelans Delta.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—A prevailing impression
that the monetary difficulties which beset many of the im-
porters of cotton, will still cause a pressure upon the Liver-
pool market, before which a further giving way in prices
must take place, has exercised an unfavourable influence
upon our market to-day, causing a degree of hesi-
tation about giving orders, on the one hand, and, on the
other, a wavering, on the part of sellers, as to quo-
tations, for various articles, from which they would not
recede last week. In India goods, and in mule yarns,
particularly such as are suitable for the East, as well
as in cops, there is so much of an unfavourable turn
as that many producers, who had previously de-
clined offers accepted by others, have now yielded
to those terms ; and, in this way, a moderate amount
of business has been effected. This statement ap-
plies only partially to water twist adapted to the Ger-
man trade, in which department there is much more
firmness, as there is less stock, than in the mule yarns
just referred to. Low counts of bundle, spinnings for
the Mediterranean, and warps up to No. 24, continue
in good demand, are generally scarce, and firm at the
previous rates ; as are also, in the main, good domestics,
T's, and long cloths. There is more call for 36-inch
cloths, and they, with ith printers, remain steady
in value. in regard to 40-inch shirtings, there was
a statement in our last respecting offers made,
and in some instances accepted, which would
not have appeared had the usual writer been at home, as
it was only applicable to ono or two exceptional trans-
actions, in which, perhaps, the quality of the material
might form a consideration. Two considerable failures
are announced at Liverpool in connexion with cotton,
viz., Mr. George Wright (brother to Mr. William P.
Wright, cotton broker, of New York), whose liabilities
are variously stated at 30,000/. to 60,000/.; and T. W.
Stock, in, it is said, a much larger amount. The latter
is in the glass trade, but has made speculative ven-
tures in cotton as well as in other articles of produce.
There are rumours of other stoppages from the same
Cause; and the consequence is that much anxiety pre-
vails amongst our neighbours. These rumours receive
countenance from some forced sales which aro being
made at extremely low rates. One or two other failures
at Liverpool are spoken of, arising, it is stated, from
losses by other descriptions of produce.
hOCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a morn promis-
ing market to-day, and the merchants have purchased
rather more freely, at prices much the same as those of
the preceding week. Low priced English wools are in
good demand and scarce, and those of a finer
bo purcb :sed upon rather easier terms. quality can

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

The unfavourable state of the weather yesterday
sent the receipts at the doors of the Crystal Palace
down to 2,438'. 145., the number of visitors being only
50,599.

Every day is now marked by two features, not the
least striking in the singular diurnal history of the Ex-
hibition, and to which from time to time we have called
attention. The first of these is the continued and steady
influx of charity and other schools within and around
London, for the most part promoted by private and
even individual benevolence. Nothing can be more
gratifying than to meet so frequently amid the swelling
tide of grown-up spectators bands of young children
moving along, and as they go giving vent to many au
exclamation of juvenile wonder. There are now half
a dozen of these schools present in the building every
day, and the only regret one feels with regard to
them is that amid the bustle and pressure of so
many thousand people their opportunity for seeing
well ,a sight so instructive is necessarily much cur-
tailed. The other point to which we have alluded
is hardly less interesting, and receives an apt illus-
tration in the fact that 150 of the Doke of Northum-
berland's people visited the Exhibition yesterday,
having travelled all the way from Alnwick for that pur-
pose. The great landowners are sending up their agri-
cultural labourers, and the great manufacturers their men,
fully impressed with the moral and intellectual influ-
ence which a spectacle such as that of the Crystal Palace
is likely to exercise on them. Even the adult poor of
our metropolitan parishes are not forgotten, and, through
the liberality of some wealthy neighbour, many of them
are allowed to see the World's Fair. As for domestic
servants, masters must be extremely induleent to them
from the numbers of that class that are daily seen in the
Exhibition. This is all as it should be, and shows a
large amount of practical sympathy and good feeling
between the different ranks of society, between rich and
poor, gentle and simple. Yet one important considera-
tion remains, and the period is near at hand when
it must be closely and anxiously considered. The
vast majority of those who visit the Crystal Palace is
still the middle class. The place is unmistakeably in their
possession as yet, and has (speaking comparatively)
hardly been touched by the humbler orders. It is
quite ascertained now that the labouring man cannot
afford to go there, as he of course would wish to go,
taking his wife and family along with him. Strange,
therefore, as it may seem, a very large proportion of
the population of the metropolis has not yet been able to
see the Exhibition, and will in all probability never be
able to do so unless something is done to bring the
price of admission down nearer to their means. Such,
even in this wealthy city, is the power of one shilling.
As to the tear that a further reduction of price would
be dangerous to the property in the building, or to the
good order and kindly, honest, peaceable spirit of those
who flock there, we publish a document which throws a
curious light upon this subject, and which will be read
with much interest. It is a return of things found in the
Crystal Palace, which was delivered over to the custody
of the police between the Ist of May and the Ist of this
month, and were at that last date still unclaimed by
their owners:—

"271 handkerchiefs, 65 bracelets, 183 brooches, 118
parasols, 77 shawl pins, 4 bonnet shades, 14 silk um-
brellas and 9 cotton, 46 veils and falls, 2 shirt studs, 57
catalogues and other books, 35 bunches of keys, 44 neck
ties, 1 pair of goloshes, 8 lockets, 3 campstools, 16 vie ‘o-
sines, 1 pair of slippers. 10 ladies' cuffs, 1 pendulum, 2
coats, 3 card cases, 15 breguet and other chains, 3
knives, 3 pincushions, 28 pair of gloves, 25 walking-
sticks, 10 pair of spectacles, 12 eyeglasses, 16 pencil
cases, 3 umbrella cases, 4 rings. 3 tans, 1 silver watch
and guard, 1 operaglass, 2 toothpicks, 1 thimble, 30 red-
cules and baskets, 14 shawls, 2 boxes, 1 petticoat, 2 car-
penters' rules, I Prussian 5 dollar note, 3 scent bottles,
1 purse 6d., ditto Is., 1 ditto 2s. 7d.. 1 ditto 2s. 6d., 1
ditto Si. 9s. 4d., 1 ditto 6d., 1 ditto 1 Id., 1 ditto 6s. 3d.,
3 empty ditto, cash found, 21. 103. OP."
This miscellaneous list, it is amusing to observe,
shows that the weaker sex arc much more care-
less of their property than men, for it will be seen
that the greater number of articles enumerated are
female paraphernalia. The list only gives those
things that remained unclaimed on the Ist of July;
and, in order to estimate the total findings, it would
be necessary to increase the quantity stated by about
one-third, for that is nearly the proportion in which
the owners have come forward. At present Mr. Pearce,
the indefatigable superintendent of police at the Exhi-
bition, has a stock of ladies' handkerchiefs, parasols,
eyeglasses, jewellery, &c., on hand that would furnish
.forth a respectably sized pawnbroker's shop ; and if
these miscellaneous stores go on accumulating. it will be
difficult to preserve to the station at the Prince of
Wales's gate anything like an official appearance. As it
is, ladies may be seen there examining with sharp in-
spection piles of materials for some missing parasol or
reticule, and constantly have those in authority to re-
mind them of the sintulness of that practice by which on
a wet day, when a person misses his own umbrella, or on
the night of a ball when one can't find his hat, he unhe-
sitatingly takes possession of the next best hat or um-
brella ho can lay his hands on.
