Mr.. Lawrence's dissatisfaction at his wi
fe's remaining in Louisville, was known 10
the parents OF Mrs. Lawrence more than five
months before the publication Of the adver-
tsemen.. The same letter of Mr. Lawrence
above alluded to, dated Sept 0, contains the
following :-"If you prefer Sallie TO ROMAN
in Louisville, and do not embrace the offer
which make, and one ii is which is promp-
ted by the strongest affection and true de-
sire for her welfare, have only 10 say to
pou, sir, that you will effect a separation be-
tween my wilo and myself; for, if Sallle re-
mains there, it would certainly be forced
upon me-" The reply of Mr. Ward, dated
Sept 10, said--'lf you deem my course a
cause for separation, be il So" And no 9TH
or opportunity was afforded Nj. Lawrence
to express his dissatisfaction since all further
correspondence on the subject was closed, at
the request of M Ward.
The following extract from letter of Mrs
Lawrence 10 her husband, dated Nov 6, will
show that his disapproval Of her remaining
in Louisville was known and resisted by her.
II am quite as fixed (sho says) in my deter
miaa,ion not to spend the winter in Boston,
as you are not 10 come 10 Kentucky.
must beg that you will not again write for
me 10 como, even were my health perfect
And all further opportunity Of making known
his dissatisfaction TO her, was rendered inn
possible by the declaration, Correspondence
on this subject Cher return 10 Boston) is use

Moneys were furnished Mrs Lawrence by
her husband, and bills were paid by him du
ring her stay in Boston, besides her bills at
The fremont House, and those for medical
attendance, as can be proyed by unques-
toned evidence.-The sums of money SO
paid 10 and for her, would, by others, have
bcenconsiderod large and her husband was
ever ready and willing 10 supply all her rea-
sonable wants. Indeed, il had been the

be thrown upon Mr.. Lawrence by friends
and family OF his wife, is without the slight
esl foundation and those who remember
the costly gifts he lavished upon her, at the
limoofhis mariage, have ne rcasonto ques
ion his generosity towards her
But the most striking instance of the mig
gardncss of Mr., Lawrence adduccd at the
trial, was what MIR. Preston was pleased tc
call stthc hundred dollar Transaction Mis-
Lawrence in that case, made no application
whatever TO her husband for money; but
without his knowledge, wrote note to MIR
Abbott Lawrence, asking for the loan of one
hundred dollars. The note was as follows
'DEAR FATHER.-You win confer favo

The sum asked for was Immediately en-
closed 10 Mrs. Lawrence in a letter, wherein
all thnt was said in reference TO the MONEY
was---"I enclose one hundred dollars, whicl

Five days, at least, after Mrs Lawrenc G

which she said--"Pa commenced to da
with my yearly allowance; the first appre
priation made was to send one hundre

of mail, according 10 the testimony of M
: Ward, letter was received, acknowledged
the receipt of the money. From first TO las
there was no app lication made for the repay
