PROBABLE RELEASE OF MRS. CUNNINGHAM.
Mr.. Clinton. the counsel for Mrs. Cunningham, left
The house in Bond street yesterday declaring ths; he
would effect the release O. Ms. Cunningham to-iay By
toe wit Of hsbeas corpus. This declaration may have
had the effect Of causing the Coroner TO hasten bis
rira,.on Of the members Of the Cunningham family
DR. BUHDEIL NOT IN THE CITY on TIE 18TH or
OCTOBER.
The certificate produced BY Mrs. Cunningham to
prove lie marriage Of DR.. Burdeu and herself bears
date Oct - 1856 purpotts to show that the cere-
mory took place on that day. DR.. WatrOus Of Sara
tor states that DR.. BurGe was at that village ST the
time meutioned-w,s there for three days-and is 30
registered al the Marvin Hotel. This statement is
roboraied by The Saratoga Comfy Press which adds
that he was stopping at the hotel on his return from
collecting his rents Herkimer County. This would
seem to prove an abb as to the marriage. However,
the documents vii be on here in a short tune.
