Translated from the German of Dr. EICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German - medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a .disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely' left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

Just Published, price ls., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps, c,ZECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS kJ FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress ing. ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta, blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of DU BARRY'S invaluable H EALTH-RESTORING REVA LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and, upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Ilooper Nevill, and his agents, under a penalty of £5,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable. imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of any breach of the injunction. An intelligent public requires no admonition to shun all shopkeepers who may attempt impositions.

An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished —a point of great importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new edition of Self-Preservation,' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who are suffering, from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation.

Ile Urgent screw steam troopship, Commander Hire, arrived at Spithead yesterday from Gibral tar, She brings home despatches from his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Mrs. Colonel Somerset and Lieut. Turtle and wife have come home passengers by her. She also brings 42 women, 50 children, 1 non-commissioned officer of the Royal Artillery, 2 women and 5 children, 5 convicts, and 3 horses. The Urgent sail e d f rom Spithead for Gibraltar at daylight on the morning of the Bth inst., with the 100th (Prince of Wales's) Canadian Regiment on board, and arrived there, after a fine run, on the 13th. The Osborne, pad dlewheel steam yacht, arrived there from Ports mouth at 10.30 on the morning of the 14th. While lying alongside the wharf coaling, and before the troops had disembarked, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, accompanied by Lieut.-Gen. Sir I. Ferguson and Prince Victor of Hohenlohe Langen berg, paid a sudden visit to the Urgent, wishing to see a troopship in a rough state, and visited every part of the vessel, on staying board until the troops had disembarked.i On leaving, his Royal Highness was most enthusiastically cheered by the troops and crew of the Urgent. It will be remembered that the 100th Regiment were presented with colours by the Prince, previous to leaving camp for, embarkation for foreign service. The Vulture, 6, sailed from Gibraltar on the 13th, and the Scourge, 6, on the 14th. The Osborne hauled in to the wharf to coal as the Urgent hauled out. The Urgent left Gibraltar on her return on the evening of the 14th, and has had fine weather the whole passage. On the 16th, in lat. 39 46 N., long. 9 40 W. the ship was struck by a whale on the starboard bow ; the shock was . so great that the people rushed on deck fancying the ship was ashore, or that a serious collision had occurred with some other vessel. Several large French steamers and gun boats were seen during the passage home steering for the' Mediterranean. The Urgent will be ready for sea as soon as she has coaled, unless it should be considered necessary to place her in dock. The Imperieuse, 51, screw steam-frigate, was yesterday undocked from No. 7 dock at Portsmouth, and removed to moorings up the harbour. The Assurance, 4, screw steam despatch vessel, Commander C. Aynsley, moved out of the basin into Portsmouth harbour yesterday, and adjusted compasses. The next launch at the dockyard at Pembroke will be that of the Greyhound steamsloop (pierced for 10 broadside and one pivot gun), which is to take place on the Ist of June. It is stated to be in contemplation to purchase part of the foreshore and ground to the east of the dockyard, and to extend the establishment in that directioi, form ing a steam basin off West Llanion Pill. The following officers have taken up their com missions and appointments, and joined the Eme rald, Capt. Arthur Cumming, at Sheerness : First Lieut. Carter (late Nankin) and ,Lieut. W. R.

The Admiralty have ordered the Trafalgar, Queen and Edgar, when ready to leave, to be sent round to the western yards for immediate equipment. The Jackal, four guns, paddlewheel steamvessel, Lieutenant-Commander Augustus C. Murray, has left Sheerness for Scotland, to raise volunteers for the navy from the northern ports. The Majestic, 80 guns, screw steamship, in the fitting-basin at Sheerness, is progressing rapidly with her fitment of rigging, &c. The Admiralty have ordered that all the ships to be sent to the western yards for completion are to take in their full quantities of powder, shot, shell, &c., all of which is to be magazined at the respective ports to which they go until they are ready for active service.

MILITIA. The Forfar and Kincardine and Norfolk Militia Corps were inspected on Thursday at Sheerness, on the artillery practice ground, by Col. Nedham, Com mandant. The regiments were put through their various manoeuvres by Major Boothby, of the For far Militia, in a praiseworthy and soldierlike style. The City of Dublin Militia Artillery, numbering 15 officers and 322 rank and file, embarked at Dub- MURDER AND _ROBBERY. LEDBURY, FRIDAY. The Sun of. yesterday contained a few hastily gathered particulars of a most atrocious murder and robbery which had been discovered on the previous day. The victim was a respectable widow, named Harriet Baker, whose husband died only a few weeks ago, and who since his death has for most of the time been the sole eccupant of a house, part of which is used as offices by Mr. Masefield, solicitor, in this town. It would be difficult for the human mind. to imagine anything more fearfully atro cious than the details of this crime. On Tuesday night a female friend visited Mrs. Baker and left her a few minutes before 10 o'clock, when she was preparing to retire for the night. She had fastened the doors as usual, and hung a bell on the inside of each door to create an alarm if anyone should gain entrance to the house. This friend remarked that the widow seemed less absorbed in grief than she had been since the death of her husband. About eight o'clock on Wednesday morning the neighbours, who appear to have displayed great and uniform kindness towards the bereaved woman, observed that she was not stirring at the usual time, and threw stones and peas at the window of her sleeping room, which was in the upper part of the house. Failing to arouse her by these and similar means, they became alarmed, and were about to force a way into the house, when one of Mr. Mase field's clerks, named Jones, who lodged next do or , produced the key o f th e back-door, which he said he had just picked up under the office window, hav ing found it lying on the gravel path. Jones was the first to enter the house, and was followed by several other persons. In the sitting-room occupied by Mrs. Baker was a round table on which was a white cloth, a jug with water, a knife, two empty glasses (which appeared from the smell to have contained spirits and water), a candlestick, with candle nearly whole, and some other articles. None of these things were about when the de ceased's friend (Miss Jackson) left, and when the widow expressed her intention of at once going to bed. A silver watch still hung on its accustomed nail over the mantelpiece, and a widow's cap was on the carpet, which was much disturbed, as though there had been a scuffle upon it. On proceeding through the house Jones discovered that the upstairs offices (Mr. Masefield's private room and that of his head clerk) were open, though they had been locked at closing time on the pre vious evening, and the keys taken, as usual, to Mr. Masefield's house. On pushing open the door of the private room Jones saw the body of Mrs. Baker lying on the floor, straight on her back, with• her feet about a yard from the door. The room was about half filled with a heavy smoke, which did not ascend, but hung in a body together. Some more people came in on hearing the alarm, and a closer inspection showed that a most foul murder had been committed. There Was a .contused wound on the forehead, from which no blood escaped. Tne marks of strangula tion were plainly observable round the neck, and there was a deeper and broader mark under the right ear, as though caused by a knot. A cord with a running noose and slipknot was found RI-- tially under the body. The dark brown hair of the victim was thrown back in wild dishevelment her face was of livid purple, and her eyeballs pro truding, but both eyes and lips were closed. The whole of the middle part of the body was charred by fire. The arms were dreadfully burnt, and only the extremities of the feet remained uninjured by fire. The body had been set on fire after it was laid on the floor, and a piece of news paper found in the room corresponded with another piece found in the clerk's office down stairs. The office floor was covered with cocoa-nut fibre matting, and this and the , boards were burnt through in two large places. The fire was still smouldering when the dis covery was made, and creating a horrible stench. From the appearance of the body and its position, which was one in which it could not have fallen naturally, it is presumed that the poor woman was first murdered, then carried into Mr. Masefield's office and set fire to, in the hope that a conflagra tion would destroy the evidence of guilt. The mur derer, whoever he may be, was evidently intimately acquainted with the house and all its internal ar rangements, and chose the night after Mr. Masefield had gone to London for carrying out his hellish design. He must have been concealed in the house before it was finally closed for the night, for no violence was done to either of the outer doors, and from the back door, by which the escape was made, the warning bell was removed and placed in the lower office. It was ascertained that robbery as well as murder had been committed. A drawer in Mr. Masefield's room had been forced, and a desk in the adjoining room. These were the places where money was generally kept. The money stolen amounted to about £47 in all. There was a cheque for £ll 145., drawn by Mr. W. Maile on the National Provincial Bank ; a cheque for £l5, drawn by Mr. C. Smith on Webb and Co., Ledbury ; two Bank of England £5 notes, and £6 or £7 in gold and silver. The secrecy and quietude with which the whole plan was consummated may be imagined from the 'fact that the people in the next house heard not the slightest noise, and a little girl eight years old, who had been put to bed by Mrs. Baker in her own room about 8 o'clock, slept on unconscious of the horrid business going on but a few yards be neath her. The deceased woman had not been to bed at all that night. She was wholly dressed, and her side of the bed had not been occupied. A post mortem examination was made on Thursday previ ous to the opening of the inquest. No tangible clue has yet been obtained to the perpetrator of the crime, but from the turn taken at the inquest it would seem that one person is suspected. The coroner's inquest was commenced on Thurs day afternoon at Mr. Masefield's office, before Mr. Henry Underwood, coroner for Herefordshire, but after a jury had been sworn, and had viewed the body and the premises, the inquiry was adjourned to the Feathers Hotel. John Jones, the first witness, was examined at great length, 'and deposed to having found the body, as detailed above, after finding the key four or fire yards from the back door. It was a few minutes after 9 when the discovery was made. By the Foreman—l left the office about 7 o'clock on the previous evening, and went for a walk. I returned home about 10 o'clock. There was then no light in deceased's house. I had known her three years and a half, ever since I had been at Mr. hlasefield's. B 7 the Coroner—Mrs. Baker was in the habit of receiving visits from friends, chiefly of her own sex. Elizabeth Paine, the little girl who slept with Mrs. Baker in the houge, was questioned by the coroner, and said Mrs. Baker put her to bed about 8 o'clock on Tuesday night, but did not come to bed herself that night. She heard nothing, and saw no man in the house. It was agreed not to put the child on her oath. Charlotte Jackson proved that she parted with deceased a few miuutes before 10 on Tuesday night, when she fastened up the doors and said she was going to bed. There was no cloth on the table when she left, and no glasses or jug. The deceased was not in the habit of drinking spirits at night. The witness Jones, recalled by the Foreman—l did not open any chest with drawers in Mrs. Baker's parlour on Wednesday morning. By the Coroner—l do not know if anybody saw me go to bed on Tuesday night. I have a latchkey to the back door, and 'I bolt it when I go in after 10 o'clock. The Coroner—l should like •to subject Bowkett and the other lodger to a strict examination as to what they saw and heard of Jones that night. Jones continued—l did not go out on Wednesd a y morning before I had my breakfast unless it was into the shoe room. The back yard is common to both houses. _ _ By the Foreman—l often took gin home at night in a bottle. I had . a glass of gi n a t M rs. Baker ' s house about a fortmght ago. She gave it to me. I think I went into the office that night f or c h ange . That was the only time I had gin there. Thomas Bowkett, shoemaker, at whose house Jones lodges, and whose premises adjoin those of Mr. Masefield, gave a similar account of the dis covery of the murder. He went to bed shortly after 10 and heard no noise, though there is only a partition between hi s b e d room an d M r . M ase field , s office. He did not hear Jones go to bed that night, but heard him getting up between 7 and . 8 next morning. When d escr ibi ng th e finding of tne body the witness, wh o i s a garru l ous o ld man, burst into tears, and exclai me d, " it was the cruellest sight that ever anybody saw." The medical gentlemen who made the post motitem examination, Mr. Griffin and Mr. Wood, gaVe their evidence at considerable length. They found the features much swollen and con gested, the tongue swollen and protruding between the teeth. There was ecchymosis under the skull wound and under a bruise at the back of the head: The stomach was healthy, and contained a small , quantity of food, without any peculiar smell. The cerebral membranes' and muscles were greatly ' ecchymosed. The lungs were much congested, and the 'heart contained a small quantity of fluid blood. Strangulation was the cause of death. The blow on the forehead might have produced insensibility, but not death. The food had probably been in the stomach three or four hours. Both blows were probably received beforedeath, but might have been delivered afterwards. There were no marks of the body having been violated. The rope found had a slip knot, and unless there was more than one person engaged in the commission of the crime the rope could probably not have been put over the woman's head until she had become partially insensible. It was difficult to say whether a wound was inflicted before or immediately after death. It being now 9 o'clock p.m., the inquiry was adjourned for a week. In the meantime a large staff of police are making diligent inquiry. There is a general hope that the murderer will be brought to justice, as the crime is one ofalmost unparalleled atrocity. _ TANTIA TOPEE. (Fiona the Times.) A short shrift and a public execution have at last relieved the Indian Government of an enemy more troublesome than any political pretender pro duced by the war. On the Bth of April Tantia Topee, after 23 months of active rebellion, was cap tured by his pursuers, on the 15th he was bro ug ht to a court-Martial, and o n the 18th, ctceording to the sentence of that tribunal, he was hanged. So ends the career of this celebrated marauder, but so striking is his history and so thoroughly Asiatic was the course thus consummated that some closing notice of its incidents has been fairly earned. It has been found impossible to ascertain with any precision the extraction, quality, or even name of a man who, for nearly two years, has been suc cessful either in defying our arms or eluding our pursuit. Tantia Topee was undoubtedly a Brahmin, but beyond this distinction of caste his position was attended by no advantages. He is said to have been born somewhere in the Mahratta country, and to have been at some period of his life in the ser vice of the British Government ; but his history is altogether obscure until, at the outbreak of the mutiny, he appears, probably as a retainer of Nana Sahib, at Cawnpore. From this moment his rise commenced. He left Cawnpore for Calpee, where lie acquired a considerable command in the Gwalior Contingent, and was conspicuous among the leaders of that famous. force at the battle of the Jumna, when General Wynd ham was so hardly pressed. After-the defeat of the Contingent, he succeeded, by one of the boldest strokes of the war, in turning repulse into victory, for he made his way to Gwalior, and by dint of corruption and intrigue turned Scindiah's own troops against him, and obtained actual possession of his capital city. Dislodged from this marvellous elevation by the vigorous proceedings of Sir Hugh nose, he took to the open country, and for nearly a year defied our utmost power. He raised armies as fast. as we could disperse them, took up one posi tion after another to our infinite annoyance, and led us a chace which; despite of unexampled efforts on the part of our soldiers, seemed to be really endless. Our troops pursued him without inter mission, contrived more than once to surprise him, repeatedly captured his artillery and scattered his troops, but could never deprive him entirely of fol lowers or guns. He seemed to summon forces from the earth as if by magic. As the pursuit grew hotter and hotter he mounted his men on ponies and camels, and marched, it is said, at the average rate of 60 miles a day. Wherever we found him he had always cavalry and guns, and these lie posted with remarkable skill. It is alleged, as a climax of these almost incredible exploits, that .this military genius and popular hero was deficient in the com monest of all qualities—that of personal bravery, nor is the assertion disproved by the intrepidity with which he met his end. It is a known trait of Hindoo character, that men whom no persuasions could induce to face a battery or conduct a charge will await inevitable death with fortitude and com posure. To those who have brought the aids of experi ence or knowledge to the study of this great rebel lion the career of Tantia Topee will present a spectacle of peculiar interest. It is literally the only incident of the war which resembles the incidents of times gone b.f . . Tantia Topee is the one military adventurer brought to light by the convulsions of 1857. The fact deserves most serious reflection, for it bears immediately and forcibly upon our own position in India. Be it remembered for half a century we had been training soldiers, and that in Bengal alone there were 150,000 natives under arms when this revolt broke out. Now, in all this enormous host there was not a single man who, when the bonds of allegiance and discipline were abruptly removed, displayed the intuitive capacities of a military commander. Not at Delhi, nor Bareilly, nor Lucknow, did there appear a man who by force of genius or ambition could mould those around bim to his purpose. The two years of the revolt, with all their opportunities, never produced one native General. The Sepoys had learnt artillery and rifle practice and the routine of professional discipline. They retained to the last their regimental organization and continued their duties so mechanically that " ' God save the Queen" was performed at nightfall in the rebel garrisons, but beyond this level they never rose. One man alone reproduced the old Indian character, and that ' man was Tantia Topee—an obscure' civilian, with lout place or power. He, by the light of nature alone, discerned the strong points of the rebels' posi tion and our own weak points. By the exercise of that faculty with which heroes are gifted he could always, even in his most desperate straits, draw followers to his standard. He discovered intuitively that his best chances lay in harassing us by incessant attacks and exhausting us by fruitless expeditions. He had great military aptitude, for his positions were always well chosen and his retreat always secured. It is even said that his political foresight was con siderable, and that his designs included an irrup tion into the Deccan, on the speculation of being joined by the Mabratta population, if not by some battalions of the Bombay army. In this hope, however, he was disappointed, for though he long eluded our pursuit he could never quite baffle our flying columns, and they kept the passes even when they could do no more. It tells well, indeed, for the enterprise of our commanders and their troops that so active a marauder as Tantia should have been so long prevented from doing his worst, and have been caught at last. He was repeatedly headed, constantly turned back from the objects of his march, and at length fairly overtaken. Nothing could more forcibly illustrate the repu tation which this man had acqui re d th an the fact that his fate has been attended with some regret. The absolute justice of his sentence it is, of course, impossible to doubt. Rebellion is in itself a capi tal crime, and though, when the crisis was passed, forgivenness was freely placed within the reach of all, the claims of Tantia. Topee to this indulgence were exceedingly s li g h t, and, indeed, had never been preferred. He not only fought against us in re peated engag emen t s, b ut after all hope was past he took to the field and carried on the war, after a fashion of his own, for 10 months longer. His ambition or his inveteracy cost us hundreds of lives. If clemency has any limits Tantia must have gone far beyond them ; besides which, it is gravely suspected that he shared in that deed of blood for which there is no forgivenness or oblivion. He was certainly at Cawnpore on the day of the massacre ; he was probably in the service of the Nana, and it cannot but be surmised that his par ticipation in that dreadful butchery may have taken some active form. He himself affirmed his innocence, but he affirmed that of his master also ; so that one part at least of his tale was untrue; and if lie had ;indeed, this sin upon his soul, it would go far to account for his persistent outstanding and flight. In India, however, these suspicions were over powered by the overt admiration entertained for his professional skill. He alone had turned out a marauder of the true old stamp. He was like the adventurers pursued by Wellesley and Hastings, and if he had not met his match in those oppo to him he might have founded a dynasty. Hyder Ali was no better than he. He brought against us at one time the largest army we encountered in the field, and at another period he had actual posses sion of one of the strongest cities in India, with thousands of troops and millions in treasure. If he could'but have got across the Nerbudda he might have kept the war alive for months,—perhaps for years, and, though that contingency is not pleasant to contemplate, the hero of so strange a story ob tains no little credit on the scene itself. The sen tence, however, was evidently just, as Tantia him self acknowledged. He knew that he had earned E CAUSS. (Before th e Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Baron Martin, and the Judge Ordinary.) MARCIIAIONT V. lIIAP.CIIMONT. In this case, in which the petitioner, the wife of the Rev. Henry Marchmont, a Baptist minister, had obtained a judicial separation on the ground of cruelty, Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., asked the court to appoint a day on which to •hear the respondent's appeal against the decree of the Judge Ordinary. Lord Campbell—What are the grounds of appeal? Mr. Maucaulay—Th e y are set forth in the instrument before your lordship. Lord Campbell (having read the document)—All these grounds were brought before the full court when you moved for a new trial. Mr. Macaulay—My lord, I am aware that there is a difficulty— Lord Campbell—The difficulty is insuperable. We are of opinion that there remains no ground for disturbing the decree which the court has already pronounced in this case. EVANS V. EVANS AND ROBINSON. In this case a decree of kdissolution of marriage had been pronounced, and the corespondent hal been condemned in all the costs. Before the trial Mr. Evans had been required to pay into court the sum of £750 to satisfy the claims of his wife's proctor ; and Dr. Deane, Q.C., now moved that th e p roc t or b e paid his costs acco rding ly. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., said that the petitioner's costs had been taxed at £1,250; which the petitioner had endeavoured without success to obtain ; for Mr. Robertson was not to be found. Under these circumstances he ventured to submit that the proc tor for the respondent ought not to have his costs until he had satisfied the court that he had not been in collusion with Mr. Robinson. Lord Campbell said the court must presume that the taxation had been properly done ; and the proc tor must therefore have his costs, including the costs of the present application. RATCLIFF T. RATCLIFF ANil ANDERSON. The petitioner, Mr. Thomas Anson Ratcliff, a half-pay officer, proceeded against his wife, Mrs. Frances Harvey Ratcliff, for a dissolution of mar riage, on account of various acts of adultery com mitted by her with Colonel David Anderson. The respondent denied the adultery, and also pleaded cruelty, connivance, condonation, and the unneces sary delay in bringing the suit. Colonel Ander son pleaded that the petitioner bad entered into an agreement with him not to put him to any expense in respect of any legal proceedings that might be necessary to obtain a divorce, provided that he (Calonel Anderson) would maintain the respondent, and to pay the expense of her passage to England, which agreement he (Colonel Anderson) had on his part faithfully performed. The petitioner denied in his replication all these averments. Dr. Deane, Q.C., Dr. Spinks, and Mr. Prentice appeared for the petiti oner; Dr. Swabey for the respondent ; Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Mr. Addams for the ea respondent. The petitioner had been lieutenant and pay master of the 22d Regiment of Foot, and on the 22d of November, 1844, he married the respondent at Poonah. She was then a Miss Pitts, the daugh ter of an officer in the Bengal military establish ment. The parties cohabited in various places in India till July, 1850, and had issue, of which only one child was surviving-. The co-respondent joined the regiment as a captain in the previous October, and he had since 'become its colonel. It was proved that on the 18th of July, 1850, Captain Anderson had gone with Mrs. Ratcliff to Kussowlie, where he lived with her as man and wife for about two months. On behalf of Colonel Anderson, Dr. Phillimore read a correspond ence , from which it appeared that Mrs. Ratcliff rushed one evening into his tent at Dugshai, where the regiment was stationed, and. demanded his protection against the abuse of her husband. The petitioner followed. her, and solkeited his good offices with a view to a reconciliation. By his means peace was at last restored between the parties, and they left the tent together ; but on the following evening she came to him by herself, and spent the night in his tent. He then went with her to Kussowlie. This led, of course, to some scandal ; but through the mediation of the military authorities an arrangement was come to of the nature indicated in the pleadings. The correspondence concluded with a characteristic letter from the late Sir C. Napier. Captain Anderson had undertaken to leave the corps ; but after in vain attempting to exchange into 10 other regiments, he had witten to inform the colonel (Lieut-Colonel Boileau) of his want of success. Colonel Boileau, under these cir cumstances, submitted the case to Sir C. Napier, and received his answer in the following terms : " 24th October, 1850. " My dear Boileau,--Where all parties have be haved so unseemly, it is hard to decide what is best, and what is not. Bad is the best. Anderson has been weak, Ratcliff has acted, in my opinion, as you describe (i.e., ' decidedly culpably.') Bid husbands make bad wives,' is a very generally re ceived maxim. The exceptions are few. This may be one ; but neither your account nor what I have heard from others lead me to think that it is one. It seems clear that Anderson did not seduce Mrs. R. That Mr. Ratcliff did not consider that he had, is evident by his consulting Anderson ; and I con sider appearancts so much against this gentleman (Ratcliff), that I think, if either, it behoves him rather than Anderson to quit the corps ; but I think it is a matter so entirely between these two, that I do not see why you should not absolve Anderson from his promise. His only fault was not being a Joseph. (Laughter.) It was a great fault, but still I do not think that Ratcliff has a claim to demand chose to invade his tent uninvited. I think Ander.. profession, because Ratcliff Anderson's loss of son is to be pitied, not punished, beyond pay ing as he has done. And if Rateliff chooses to stay, Ido not see why you or I should have a nything to say to the matter. In short, the case is simply this— is a good officer to leave the regiment because another officer cannot rule his wife, who without seduction on the part of the good officer, chooses to go to bed with him ? I really think it is a question for the parties themselves to settle. " Anderson has paid d ear l y f or his weakness, and I see no justice in forcing him t o l ose hi s pro fession. I would give him back his promise. Had Captain Anderson seduced Mrs. Ratcliff, or if he had kept he r w ith hi m, he must have left the_ re giment certainly. You know best how this matter stands, and what is the general feeling of the officers. All of you are conversant in the details— - i am not ; and I cannot interfere beyond the answer to your question, that is to say, were I in possession of Anderson's promise he should have it back.—Yours, &c. " C. NAPIER. "Lieutenant-Colonel Boileau." Dr. Phillimore subinitted that under the circum stances disclosed in the correspondence it was doubtful whether the case was one in which he oaght to interfere; but it was clearly not one in which the co-respondent, who was at this moment paying £lOO a year for the respondent's mainte nance, and who had never seen her since she left India, ought to be condemned in the costs. Dr. Swabey then addressed the court on behalf of the wife. Dr. Deane, in reply, pointed out that the result of Colonel Anderson's not fulfilling the third part of his promise h a d b een t o compel him to q uit the service himself. , The court took time to consider.
