COURT OF DIVORCE. SED)ON V. SEDDON AND DOYLE. In this case the husband, Charles Henry Seddon, peti tioned the Court for a dissolution of marriage, on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent. The respondent did not appear, but the co-respondent, who is a solicitor, had answered, denying the charge of adultery, recriminating, and pleading also that the husband had been guilty of gross marital misconduct, which conduced to his wife's criminality. Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Mr. Bushby represented the petitioner, and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Hannen the co .respondent. Mr. and Mrs Seddon, the parents of the petitioner, were examined to prove that no complaint was made in 1859, or the early part of 1860, by Mrs. Seddon o the alleged neglect of her husband, and Mr. Marshall, a clerk in the firm, said Mr. Seddon, the petitioner, was frequently kept late at the manufactory making up the books. For the defence the plea of denial was abandoned, but a number of witnesses were called to prove the allegation of adultery and other misconduct on the part of the petitioner. Miss Peterkin said—l am sister of the respondent. I have stayed occasionally with Mr. and Mrs. Seddon in 1859 and 1860. I never knew Mr. Seddon to stay out all night unless he has been out of town. I recollect Mr. Seddon going to Ross. On that day my sister went to Richmond to meet Mr. Doyle. I accompanied her as far as the railway in College-street, Camden-town. I met her on her return with Mr. Doyle the same evening between ten and eleven o'clock. My sister has read letters to me she had received from Mr. Doyle. I re collect my sister speaking to me about Mr. Sed don's journey to Ross. She said Seddon had gone out of town on business, and taken a woman with him. She said Dr. Evans had gone to see about the circumstance, and on his return she told me Dr. Evans said he was cer tain there was nothing wrong. My sister afterwards saw the person, a Miss Finlason, and I did the same. My sister told me to ask her to pledge her word not to see Mr. Seddon again. After my sister had seen Miss Finlason she told me she did not believe that anything wrong had taken place, and Mr. and Mrs. Seddon slept together after. Examined by Mr. Hawkins, Q,C.-1 can't give you the date of that, but it was after Mr. Seddon's return from Ross. I should think it was about a fortnight. Mrs. Seddon told me of a discovery she had made in 1859, which affected her very much, and that she had mentioned the circumstances to her husband, and that Mr. Seddon had gone down on his knees and told her he had not been unfaithful to her. She told me the things she had seen satisfied her she was right, and as he was constantly out at night she was very unhappy. Mr. Seddon, as a habit, did not keep late hours. He did not keep very early hours. Mrs. Seddon com plained to me of the intimacy between Mr. Seddon and Sarah Grant in June or August, 1860. Mrs. Seddon told me that her husband had kissed her. I will not swear my sister told me that Mr. Seddon had been on the sofa with the girl the night she was confined. I mentioned the subject to her in Nov. or Deo., 1860. I told her Grant had told me of the cir cumstance. Mr. Seddon had wished to get into bed with her. The letter put into my hand is in my handwriting. It is dated Sept. 13, 1860. I there find a passage recom mending Mr. Seddon to get a divorce, and marry Finlason. Martha Finlason—l am a dressmaker. I first became acquainted with Mr. Seddon in 1859. After that I saw him occasionally in John-street, Oxford -street. I went to the play with him twice, after which I returned to my busi ness place. Mr. Seddon never went into the house with me. I recollect the August of 1861. I had a fortnight's holiday at that time, on which occasion I went with Mr. Seddon to Ross. How it came about was that I told him I had the holiday. He said he was going to Ross on busi ness, and if I liked to travel down with him, I could spend my holiday there. I did so. He told me he was going to stop at a gentleman's house in Ross. I slept in apartment■ which I took. The Judge—What apartments P Witness—Two bedrooms. The Judge—What I two bedrooms for yourself ? Witness—l was told to take them. Dr. Phillimore—Mr. Seddon afterwards arrived quite unexpectedly ? Witness Yes. The Judge—Then, because Mr. Seddon was not ex pected two bedrooms were taken ? Examination continued—On my oath I have never had criminal intercourse with Mr. Seddon. Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—l am now living with my grandmother, at Hornsey. I have no income except from my business. I have been living at Hornsey for eight or nine months, during which time I have been out of a situation. Of course Mr. Seddon knows I have been living at Hornsey, but he has never given me a single penny. The reason I did not get a situation was that I knew I should be wanted for this case. I have never heard Mr. Seddon talk about marrying me. I have seldom seen Mr. Seddon since I have been at Hornsey, and then by accident. I first met Mr. Seddon in an omnibus in 1859. A day or two afterwards I met him by chance in Oxford-street. I was out on business. I did not know he was a married man. Very shortly after that I found he was. The case is not expected to conclude to-day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day). SHOCKING TRAGEDY IN SUSSEX. HAYWARDS HEATH, FRIDAY. A tragedy of a most heart-rending character was enacted yesterday at the little village of Slaugham, situate at a distance of about six miles from this place. It appears that for some time past a Mr. Agate has occupied a farm in the village, and with him resided, amongst other persons, his wife and two little boys, aged respectively four and six years, and from the general demeanour and behaviour of the family the whole of its members were much respected. The unfortunate wife has for some short period been indisposed, though no serious results were entertained until within the last few days, when her conduct became such as to cause her friends some uneasiness, and in consequence she was carefully watched. Things continued to proceed in this manner until yesterday morning, when shrieks were heard to proceed from the farmhouse, and an alarm having been given, several persons at once went to the house, and on effecting an entrance, the body of the youngest of tbe boys was found in the bed room lying in a pool of blood, which was still flow ing copiously from a frightful gash in the throat, evidently inflicted with a table-knife found near the body. The other boy, the elder of the two, was found in a state of insensibility in the same room, also suffering from wounds about the neck and throat, which bled profusely. On a further search Mrs. Agate was discovered with wounds in her throat, but neither of the latter was dead. Medical assistance was immediately called in, and in the case of the younger boy it was clearly evident that death must have taken place some time. From all the appearances, it would seem that the cut had been sharply made, as the head was all but severed from the trunk. With regard to the elder boy, although life still existed, the severe nature of his wounds creates great anxiety. He was quite in sensible when found, having lost a good deal of blood, and is not considered out of danger. From the nature of the wounds it would appear that they were inflicted with a razor, and this impression is confirmed by the fact that in the hands of the mother was such a weapon when she was found. The mother was suffering from several wounds in the throat, but these were not of so severe a nature as in the case of the elder boy, and immediate danger is not apprehended. That the unfortunate woman, in a moment of frenzy, made the onslaught on her two children, and then attempted her own life, is not doubted for a moment by those who have charge of the case, every circumstance that comes to light, including the mental disease of Mrs. Agate, tending to corro borate that conclusion. The injured woman and child remain in the farmhouse under medical care, and up to this afternoon no fatal appearances had presented themselves. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. AN EXCITING CHASE AFTER PICKPOCKETS.—Joseph Stone, Mile-end ; Henry Smith, address refused ; and William Adams, Duck-lane, Westminster, said to be a trainer of young thieves, were charged with attempting to steal a watch from a gentleman, in Regent-street, when looking in a shop window. The prisoners were watched by Brown, 304 A, and Mitchell, 298 A, in Oxford-street, and seen to attempt to pick a lady's pocket. They were then followed into Regent street, where they attempted to steal a watch from a gen tleman, but being seen by the officers they started off, Mitchell pursuing Stone as far as Covent-garden market before he could capture him. The two other prisoners went down lower Regent-street, and in Pall-mall Smith was captured, but Adams kept on at the top of his speed, and it was not till he got some distance in the park that Brown succeeded in securing him.

PAWNING SLOP - WORK.—ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF PAWN BROKERS.—Mary Mitchell, a needlewoman, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with illegally pawning four new coats, which had been entrusted to her to make up by another woman named Emma Pigott. The complainant said that she gave the prisoner the ma terials for four coats, as she received them from a ware house, and the prisoner had made them up and disposed of them. She had received the duplicates relating to three of the coats. The prisoner said she had given the fourth coat to some one to carry to Raphael's, in the Back-road, but she did not recollect the name of the person to whom she gave it, and it was not forthcoming. Three pawnbrokers' assistants produced three of the coats pawned by the prisoner in the course of the present week. Mr. Selfe said he was quite tired of talking of the improper conduct of pawnbrokers who took in slop-work from poor needle-women. It was illegal, and gave rise to a vast amount of crime and misery. There were respectable pawn brokers in the district, but there were others who reck lessly, and most improperly, took in anything brought to their Ehops without asking any questions. He asked where the fourth coat was, and why it was not produced. Thomas Holmes, a police-constable, No. 489 A, said that Raphael declared that ke had not got the coat, and that he never took in any slop-work. Mr. Selfe—Of course he will say so. The prisoner is find 365., and, in default of payment, one month's im- I prisonment, and hard labour. The coats must be given up to the prosecutrix, and if Raphael has got one, and don't give it up, I will issue a summons against him. TIIIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

The Argyll, steamer, Captain Goodridge, bouad hence for Carentan, has returned, having in tow the French schooner Palmyra, belonging to St. Valery, which was picked up at sea at 4 a.m. yesterday, 20 miles S.S.W. of St. Catherine's Lighthouse. The Palmyra was in ballast, and had apparently been in collision with some vessel in the Channel.

M. Bosco de Ruffiro, captain of Bersaglieri, appeared before his judges to answer the accusation of having ordered last July, at Somma, near Naples, six innocent persons to b e shot without any form of judgment. The public prosecutor demanded that he should be sentenced to the travaux force. for life, for abuse of power. The followin g are the circum stances under which this young officer, aged only 35, ren dered himself guilty of the crime he is accused of :—While garrisoned at Portici, he was sent by order of Gen. Cialdini to Somma, where a band of brigands had just made its ap pearance. On arriving at that place, after the flight of the robbers, the captain learnt that six inhabitants of the vil lage had aided the enterprise of the invaders. lie had. them immediately arrested, and on the accusation of several citi zens, who, however, brought forward no sufficient proofs, he ordered them to be put to death in the courtyard of the barracks, in spite of their protestations of innocence, The subaltern officers were passive actors in this tragedy. Such are the facts stated in the public prosecutor's address. Nevertheless the court, after having heard the depositions of several witnesses proving the complicity of the victims with the bandits, unanimously acquitted him. The public approved this judgment by loud cheers, ENGLAND AND AMERICA. OPINIONS OF THE FRENCH PRESS. The Ronde (the clerical organ), which seldom or never has a good word to say to England, is still impartial enough to speak as follows on the Anglo- American quarrel:— " We must not count too much on a pacific issue. The Americans are no longer in a state to listen to reason, and England cannot now draw back. The whole world is looking on ; people ask themselves if Great Britain will again submit to American arrogance, if she will again allow her flag to be in- suited ; and public opinion, which openly blames the United States in this affair, encourages her to go on. The friends of peace at any price—for there are some in England as in France—are preaching in vain; they cannot shut out evidence of the facts ; and the facts are these ;—England, with respect to the belligerents, was a neutral State; the Trent belongs to the Royal British navy ; it carried despatches—if one can assimilate the Southern envoys to living despatches —not from one belligerent State to another belligerent State, but to a neutral State. In this there was nothing whatever resembling contraband of war; and a State at war with another has not the right to pre vent neutral States from communicating with each other in all that is not contraband of war. By violating the laws of nations in the affair of the Trent the Americans have not merely insulted England, but have alarmed all neutral States, and thus attacked the public rights of civilised nations. England, charged by the circumstances with defend ing the general interests which she has so often wounded, has a noble mission to fulfil. We shall see how she acquits herself." The following is an extract from an article in the Patrie, headed "The Anglo-American Conflict" : "Public opinion in France is not engaged in the affair except as far as a great event merits atten• tion. But whatever may have been the motive by which Captain Wilkes was impelled—whether he followed, as we believe he did, the instructions of his Government, or whether he acted from his own impulse, if the Cabinet of Washington disregards the public feeling and refuse to disavow him, and if the English Government persist in demanding satisfaction, a new situation may arise from these facts which will interest every European Power. Does not Mr. Lincoln, by adopting this resolution, as a matter of calculation, rashly introduce a new element into the struggle which is taking place on the banks of the Potomac? If the recognition of the Southern States was the first hostile act of England, would it not be a political necessity on the part of all the Powers to take such a change into account ? When the two divided States of the ancient Union should find themselves engaged in battle on the undefined limits of the two territories, France and Europe might occupy themselves with their commercial interests, and call loudly for the conclusion of a war which might be prolonged in a manner not favourable to a speedy termination ; but neither France nor Europe would consider them selves compelled to intervene politically in the dis pute. Now, if in consequence of an act, of which the Cabinet of Washington appears to accept the consequences, the Southern Confederation, which has hitherto existed only by the armed protest of her Volunteers, should take her place among the nations of the world by the recognition of one of the Great Powers, would not other nations have to consider what attitude they ought to assume in con sequence of such an important change. Would it not then be the Cabinet of Washington itself which would have to answer to posterity for the resolu tion imposed on Europe by the necessities of her commerce and of her influence, since it would be the definite consequence of an act originating with itself, and covered by its authority. Whatever may be the nature of the decision adopted by the Powers, the Government of the White House cannot be astonished or offended, for the most ordinary politi cal sagacity would have been sufficient to fore see it." The Debats makes the following observations on ,he manner in which the Moniteur has spoken on he American affair : " This calm and moderate statement of the facts appears to us all the more worthy of attention that it contains an indirect criticism and disavowal of the language which certain devoted journals hold on the same subject. The reserve of the Moniteur sufficiently indicates that the French Government (and we congratulate it thereon) is in no haste to follow the counsels of those journals in the adventurous course which they would fain have it take by making common cause with Eng land, and immediately recognising the Southern Confederation. What! the negotiations are now pending ; the facts scarcely known;and the French Government should take part in the quarrel before the question of war or peace is resolved between the two Cabinets interested ! Truly, we find it diffi cult to understand such a line of policy." THE MONEY MARKET. The funds yesterday have experienced a further considerable fall, but the market has closed at a slight recovery from its lowest point. Consols for money, which after regular hours on Thursday were quoted 90; to t ex dividend, opened yesterday at that price, and soon experienced a farther decline, until they reached 89a. There was then a little less weakness, and the final bargains were at 891 to 90 for money, and 90 to 3 for the 9th of January. Numerous sales were effected for the public as well as by speculators, although the amount of unem ployed money on the market is shown by each weekly Bank return to be steadily increasing from the influx of gold. As Consols are now about the average price at which they stood during the two years of the Crimean war, it would seem that by many persons the hostilities which are imminent are thought likely to be much more protracted and costly than those of that period. In diplomatic and general circles, however, the impression appears to be less unfavourable, and it is impossible to take the present course of the market as an index of public opinion, since, as buyers held back in doubt, every sale on the part of alarmed or weak operators must be made upon such terms as the dealers whose means are limited can conveniently offer. The pos sibility must therefore be kept in mind of a sudden further movement, such as in 1854 carried Consols to 85k, to experience in the course of a short period a rebound to nearly 92. All that is necessary is that quiet investers should be warned against need less anxiety, and also that there should be no mis apprehension in America to the effect that the depreciation in the nominal value of our securities will in the slightest degree lessen the unanimous de termination of the country to support the Government in the moderate and well-weighed demands despatched on Monday last. The tele grams yesterday, bringing news a week later from New York, furnish nothing of especial moment, beyond the fact of a rise in the rate of exchange that will cause an early commencement of the long expected efflux of gold. The remarks regarding the prospect of war show that while there is an attempt to assert the recent outrage to have been legal, the inconsistency is observable of an " universally uneasy feeling" as to its probable con sequences. It is also noticed that there is further evidence of divisions in the Washington Cabinet, the Secretary of the Interior having publicly dis avowed the policy of the Secretary of War. This fact, together with the universal complaints of "treason" in all quarters, would be favourable for the prospects of peace, were it not for the considera tion that they denote a condition of anarchy for which a foreign war may have been resolved upon as the only panacea. The paragraph from the Paris Pahl' e, purporting to give the general bearing of the despatch sent by the British Government to Lord Lyons, and from which it would appear that thb Cabinet have, in a spirit of conciliation ab stained from requiring an apology, contenting themselves with simply insisting that the wrongful act should be remedied by the surrender of the per sons improperly captured, was read with great interest.-2 inies City Hide. Private letters from Rio de Janeiro state that General 'Webb, the Federal American Minister to Brazil, had sent in a demand to the Brazilian Government that the Governor or Maranham should be superseded for having allowed coal to be supplied to the privateer Sumter. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Six o'clo ei. AUSTRIA. A Vienna journal gives interesting particulars respecting the health of the Empress. It states that the physicians attribute the cough from which her Majesty suffered less to a lesion of the lungs than to a tendency of the blood to the chest; that the lungs are not diseased at present ; that, if they ever were, they are now quite sound ; and that con sequently her Majesty's complete recovery may be expected. ITALY. The Offlcial Gazette of Turin publishes a tele. gram from Naples stating that the cnb-drivers of that city struck work on the 4th, in consequence of the introduction of omnibuses. The National Guard quelled a riot which occurred on the occasion, and the strike was put an end to. As it was rumoured that the occurrence was owing to Bourbonist intrigues, a demonstration took place in the 'Via Toledo in favour of Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi, whose busts were carried about in triumph. CULTIVATION OF COTTON IN INDIA. A snpplement to the Calcutta Gazette of Oct. 30 contains a memorandum from the Foreign-office on. cotton cultivation in the province of Pegu in 1860-1, land which at the present time possesses considera ble interest. It appears from this memorandum that in those years the area of land under cotton cultivation in the plains was 4,795 acres, the ap proximate area of land under cotton cultivation in in the hills was 12,841 acres, and the estimated produce of the whole area in cleaned cotton was 2,116,3201bs a voirdupois. Cotton is grown on the islands and on the low banks of the Irrawaddy, situated above the delta of the river. It is also grown on the hill slopes of the upper portion of the province. On the islands and river bank the seed is sown as the inundation subsides, that is at the end of Sept. The pods are ripe by the end of March, In the bills cotton is sown during the month of June and is gathered in February. In either lo cality the plant is an annual, though in the hills a small crop is to be had the second year. The native eAton of Pegu has been thus described by Mr. J. Willis in a report published in the journal of the Agricultural Society of Bengal, for the first six months of 1856, page 155 :—" The fibre is coarse, curly, harsh, and rather short, and is very tena ciously attached to the seed ; but it is most exceed ingly strong, and in this respect lies its excellence. its colour, condition, and healthfulness are truly good and the seeds are very abundantly enveloped in wool. Its value in Liverpool in March month, 1855, may be taken at 31d to 4d per lb, and in May month, 1855, at 4!(1 to 5d per lb, if prrtty well detached from the seed, i.e., without much breakage." Such is the report on the native variety of cot ton cultivated in Pegu. The produce as entered in the statement above refers to that variety only. The area of land under cotton cultivation in the plains has been obtained by measurement. That in the hills is estimated. The average produce of an acre of cotton plants has been estimated at 3651bs of the uncleared fibre, which will give about 1201bs of cleaned cotton, such as is considered fit for the market. At this rate the total produce of cot ton in Pegu during the past year was about two million one hundred thoasand pounds. The culti vation has undoubtedly very much decreased since Pegu became British territory. This has resulted from several causes. Ist. So much English twist is constantly introduced into the country, that the native looms now are chiefly worked with ,hat. 2d. The export of rice has so much increased, and the demand for that grain is so constant, that the cultivation of it is more profitable than that of cotton. 3d. In the northern portion of the province the Chinese from Yunan settled at Ava used to purchase cotton to export overland to Yunan. That market has now been closed for several years. The present average price of uncleaned cotton in Pegu is 9 rupees for one hundred viss-3651bs avoirdupois. The cost of cleaning or ginning one hundred viss of cotton is 5 rupees. The average price of cleaned cotton therefore at present is less than 3d per lb. Of late a considerable quantity of cotton has been brought down from Ava and exported from Ran goon to Calcutta and elsewhere. The cotton from the whole of Upper Burmah used formerly to be exported in large quantities by the river and land route to the province of Yunan ; but that market has now been entirely stopped, in consequences of disturbances in the Chinese territory. It is estimated that Upper Burmah could supply with out diffiaalty at present from eight to ten million pounds of cotton annually. The cotton is considered. finer than that of Pegu. The market price for cleaned cotton is as follows :—At Ava, 30 rupees per 100 vise, equal to 3651bs ; at Rangoon, 47 rupees per 100 viss, or more than 3d a pound before being shipped. It has been pronounced to be worth 4d a pound in the Liverpool market. Persevering efforts have been made to induce the cultivators in Pegu to grow foreign cotton. The seed of several varieties has been distributed to them, but they have evinced great dis- like to continue the experiment ; sometimes the seed has been bad and has not germinated. At others they have found that, either from want of proper care, or from the soil being unsuitable, the return has not been so great as the native seed would have afforded. Then there is no certain market for the small quan tities of foreign cotton produced. At present the improvement of cotton cultivation, or the introduc tion of a superior cotton to Pegu, through the un aided efforts of the present cultivators, appears hopeless. Many of the peasants have the plant, the Pernambuco variety particularly, in their gardens as a curiosity, but are not inclined to cultivate it rie a regular agricultural product. Experiments in growing foreign cotton have been made by the superintendent of forests, Dr. D. Brandis. During the year 1860-61 plants raised from New Orleans seed the best return, equivalent to 125 lbs. of clean cotton the acre. Texan seed also gave a good return. These experiments will be continued. There are in the upper portion of the province of Pegu many millions of acres now lying waste, where it is believed cotton of a quality far superior to any nowoknown in the province could, under European superintendence, be raised. It is a crop which the people are accustomed to, and to the care of which they might easily be trained; but, except under supervision, they will not exert them selves to prepare the soil sufficiently, nor take the necessaay care with the plants and the picking of the pods, which appears necessary to ensure the production of a long stapled and marketable cotton. THE THAMES EMBANKMENT.—Mr. Cowper, the recommendation aebeen Commission issued, First Commissioner of Works, has add resse d a l e tt er to t h e Lord Mayor, apprising him t h that, on the h t of : Government , t t a h k e eint o a consideration the question of embanking the southern side of the Thames simultaneously with that of the Middlesex side. The Commissioners are the same gen tlemen who investigated the project of a northern embank ment in the past summer, and the Lord Mayor has again been to act as chairman. It is understood that in the ,Lof the Commissioners recommending the embank.. ment on the Surrey side to be undertaken contemporane ously with that on the north, the Government are prepared to embody both projects in the bill which they will intro duce in the approaching session of Parliament. Advices just received from Kurrachee announce the trial of the new steamer Indus, belonging to the Orien tal Inland Steam Company. She is intended for the navi gation of the Indus river, on which she will now be imme diately placed. The speed attained is reported to be about 20 miles an hour—being, it is believed, much in excess of that of any vessel yet plying in the East. THE SEIZURE OF THE TRENT.—A correspondent of the Manchester Guardian writes :—I am told (and the authority of Lieut. Williams, the officer in charge of the perhaps rather inthe mails aboard the Trent, is quot ed for the story) that the theca captain t e a e i n p t a o i f n the ef t notedhe Jefferson e p r r s privateer Davie) a teer Sumterwasa (or passenger e E i n n t g o l: s e h n s d t e t steamer e w e h m e n e keehdehwi his was tosvaerr h auledververy quietlyb y t the reSeanng the orowd while the capture was going on.
