SEABY V. SEABY AND BAVERSTOCK.

Dr. Waddilove appeared for the potitioner.
This was a petition by Mr. Sea.by, who was
head-coachman to the Earl of Strathniore, and who
was married to the respondent on the 3d of Octo-
ber, 1842. In. September, 1856, he dis covered that
his wife was addicted to habits of intemperance,
and afterwards he was compelled to a btain a sum-
mons from a police magistrate for th•e purpose of
obtaining protection against her violeno e. The case
was arranged, and they lived apart, th e petitioner
agreeing to allow her 12s. a-week. Can the peti-
tioner's departure in September to attend his mas-
ter in Scotland, he desired a witness ns ined Oliver
to watch the conduct of his wife. On the 11th of
September, Oliver and another witness, Jackson,
traced the respondent and co-respondent to a
tavern in King's-road, Chelsea ; and, after some
difficulty, Oliver broke open, a bed-room door, and
then discovered Mrs. Seaby and the co-respondent,
Baverstock, in bed together.
Their Lordships pronounced for the dissolution,
and furthtr said that the separation was duly ac-
counted for by the violence which had been shown
oath() part of the wife.

against her huqband for a divorce, on the ground of
adultery, coupled with cruelty. A jury had re-
turned a verdict, finding the issues fully sub-
stantAtted.

INQUEST ON THE LATE J. CADDY, R.N.,

AT FALMOUTH.

On Friday afternoon last, at Selley's Green Bank.
Hotel, Falmouth, an inquest was held by E. T.
Carlyon, Esq., Deputy Coroner for the county, con-
cerning the death of the late Jai: Caddy; Esq.,
'Master, R.N., aged 72, fornierly for many years in
command of. the Swiftsure packet, whose death was
caused, about half-past six o'clock the previous
evening, by a stab which he received in the house
of Mrs. Bell, at Middle Terrace, Falmouth, from
Mr. Stephen Bamfield Lovell Bell, a native of Fal-
mouth, but who had been practising as a surgeon
for some years at Weston-super-Mare.

The jury consisted of 17, of whom the following
are the names :—Mr. H. 0. Bullmore, foreman, and
Messrs. Jacob Oliver, William Sedley, Henry Raw-
lings, Johii Studden, P.ll. Gutheridge, A. B. Duck-
ham, H. J. Rusden, Samuel Lawry. John Pope,
Thomas Leuty, Henry. Scantlebury, David Evans,
James Harvey, Henry. Veale Bailey, William Veale,
and John Trethowan. •
Mr. Jenkins, solicitor, of Penrhyn, attended the
inquest on behalf of the friends of the deceased, and
also for the presecution.
The jury having assembled and been duly sworn,
the Deputy Coroner addressed them, pointing out
the law relating to questions of the kind to be sub-
mitted to them. They then proceeded to view the
body of the deceased, which was lying on, a sofa in
the. dining-room of Mrs. Bell's house, the body
having been placed there the previous evening by
direction of the surgeon, Mr. F. C. B-ullmore. On
their return to the Green Bank Hotel, the Coroner
proceeded to receive evidence. The first witnesses
examined. were two sisters of Mr. Stephen Bell,.
who had been led into the room by the Rev. W. J.
Coope arid the Rev. F. H. Scrivener. • The poor
ladies were deeply affected ; and, from this circum-
stance and a natural 'unwillingness On their part to
inculpate their brother, there was considerable
difficulty in obtaining from them evidence on some
of the main facts of the case. They and their brother
were the only persons who witnessed the cause of
the deceased's-death ; their mother—a very infirm
old lady—was at the time of the melancholy occur-
rence upstairs in bed, and wholly unconscious of
the proceedings below ; while the servant—a female
—was at the time absent from the house.

The following was the evidence given :
Charlotte Bell, of Falmouth, spinster, deposed—
About six or seven o'clock last evening, I was in
my house with my sister Mary Ann Bell and my,
brother Stephen Bell. My brother was very vio-
lent, and asked for money—he threatened my sister,
and I went for Captain Caddy, the deceased, for
help, to quiet him. I was in the house when de-
ceased arrived. My brother was then in the dining
room with my sister—he was stiLl violent, asking
for money, but we gave him none. Captain Caddy
said he was acting as a friend, and desired my
brother to leave the house, and he would not. The
deceased then, through our desire, said he would
send for a policeman unless my brother quitted the
house. We all entered into conversation, and then
went all together into the passage.. I then locked
the dining room door and jumped. out of the win-
dow, and I next saw the deceased on the ground at
the entrance to the house. My sister was left in
the passage. Captain Caddy had been in the house
about twenty minutes. We had kept two spears
hung up in the passage. I was in the passage with
Captain Caddy and my brother when the deceased
threatened to send for the police. My brother was
violent to myself, my sister, and Captain Caddy—
he threatened to knock my sister down—l did not
see any weapon in my brother's hand.
Mary Ann Bell, of Falmouth, spinster, deposed as
follows :—Yesterday afternoon, about six o'clock, I
was sitting in our dining room with my sister, and my
brother Stephen called unexpectedly. I had not seen
him for twelve months past; he came for some
money. My mother had been accustomed to make
him an allowance, which had been discontinued for
some time. My brother .was very violent because we
would not give him money. I went to search for
Captain Caddy, as well as my sister, leaving my
brother in the passage. When I returned I found
him in conversation with the deceased in the dining
room. ,Captain Caddy desired him to go out of the
house, and he would not, when Captain Caddy
threatened to send for the policeman ; and they
then came into the passage together. I saw , my,
brother take a spear from the wall, which we had
kept there as an ornament. I next saw Captain
Caddy in the doorway wounded. There were no
servants in the house at the time. When my
brother took the spear I thought he was merely
gong to damage the furniture. I did not see him
strike the deceased with it. Captain Caddy desired
him to be quiet and leave us at once. After the
deceased was wounded, he said he was hurt. My
brother was then in the passage ; deceased was
standing in the porch leaning against the wall, and
he fell there. Captain Caddy was not in a passion.
My mother was upstairs and did not see anything
of the occurrence. Deceased had been in the house
about ten minutes. I saw my brother break the
spear. The spear now produced is the one I saw
in my brother's hand. I saw the blood coming
from deceased whilst he was leaning against the
porch. I went to his assistance, and some of the
blood fell on my dress. I think my sister and my-
self desired Captain Caddy to send for the police-
man ; and I fancy when he went out of the dining
room it was his intention to call a policeman, to
eject my brother from the house. Shortly after-
wards I saw the deceased and my brother together
in the passage. I cannot say what they were
doing. During our discussion my brother threat-
ened to knock me down. I cannot say where he
was at the time. Our fear of him arose from the
great state of excitement he occasionally got into.
Frederick Charles Bullmore, of Falmouth, sur-
geon, deposed as follows :—Last evening, about a
quarter to seven o'clock, I was called by Mr. Pen-
lerick, to come to Mrs. Bell's house, to see Captain
James Caddy, the deceased. • I went immediately
and found him lying on the pathway outside the
.
doorway, apparently dead. Constantine___ pender,
'
Sydney Godolphin, and William Westaway, were
around him. I tried his pulse and found it had
ceased; neither could I detect any breathing. I
found he was surrounded by a pool of blood, which
on examination, I found issued from his thigh ; a
handkerchief had been tied above the wound, and
assisted in stopping the blood. I directed them to
take deceased into the house, and have him placed
on the sofa. I then went home for a tourniquet.
When Ireturned, I found that they had placed him
on the sofa as I directed. I had his trousers opened
so as to be able to see the wound. I put my finger
on it, had the handkerchief taken off, and his trou-
sers withdrawn. I put on my own tourniquet to
command the circulation of the limb in case reaction
should take place. I gave him brandy and after
taking about a wine-glassful- he began to breathe.
I continued the application, and his breathing be-
came more free. I heard the heart beating very
feebly, but the pulse never returned at the wrist. I
persevered in the application of the brandy, but he
never spoke but gradually sank. He died at 10
minutes past eight o'clock last evening. Since
that time, at the •Coroner's desire, I have made a
post mortem examination of the body, which is as
follows :—Sixteen hours after death; about one
• inch below the anterior superior spine of the
ilium on' the. left side I found an abrasion-4f

which a probe could be passed obliquely in-

wound and found: it ful' of. coagulate d Mood, and
the femoral .artery l'eornpletely7di'vide 1. I _found
two perforations in deceased's trousers eor'relipond-
ing with the wounds in the body, and [am of opi-
nion that the loss of bloodfrom this woi imd,w,as the
cause of death. I have examined the i spear; now
produced, and lam of opinion that 1 be -wounds
must have been inflicted byit, or some ' such-instru-
ment. I see some blood on the point of the spear
which has been recently lodged there. ' After-I had
been with Captain Caddy and fine,:ing; ,That Mr.
Stephen Bell was still in his. mother's .horise I
opened the'drawing-roon i doefto`see him,'.as I had
known him previously, and because it was the com-
mon report that he had /dabbed -the deceased. I
said to Mr. Bell " I hope you will get your de-
serts." He appeared perft :ctly • Cahn and collected
and replied, " You are.not talking in a Christian
spirit, you are adding fuel ,tO the fire." I then said,
"You have not acted in a Christian spirit by taking
a man's life ;" to which he ,Lade no reply. .He was
not intoxicated.
William Alex. Ross, a a iptain in the Bengal
Artillery, at present resident at Falmouth, deposed
as follows :—Between six at id seven o'clock last
evening I heard a noise at M rs. -.Bell's house, and
I went down and was informed that Capt. Caddy
was killed. I found deceased ll ing at the foot of the
steps at,the doorway in a poolsof blood. Mr. pen_
der was kneeling over him, seettringa handkerchief
over the leg. Deceased was breathing, hard, but
could not speak. I went to 4EIII a, surgeon, but
saw Dr. Bullmore coming up-the read. I then
went into the house, and found a person walking
up and down the dining-room w ith a broken spear
at his feet: He appearedi to be in a tery'excited
state. I picked uplhe spear, and gave it to the
superintendent of police. 1 wen .t with the con-
stable and Stephen Bell into the d rawing room ; he
said, " I am a gone man, and I don't deny that I
did it." I asked him to explain hiniselcand he
iiiid,'"After Captain' Caddy tht.:At terra itseall-the
police to turn me out of the honer I took hold of
this lance, Captain Caddy sprang upon me, and it
must have occurred in this way,"--,or words to that
effect. I told him if the deceased made a statement
before he died that it was accidental, it would be of
service to him. Mr. Bell replied. "My dear Sir,
it's of no use, he's a gone man. 7 The. .constable
then searched him, but found: no weapon-on him.
I don't recollect Seeing either of the Misie's Bell at
the time. I asked Stephen 8611 if he 'had'been
drinking, and he said, "Not at all," and he did not

Henry Brice—l am.superintendekt Ofllie county
constabulary of the Heist= dia#ictlar About a
quarter to seven o'clock last evening; as‘Lwas pas-
' sing the Green Bank Hotel, 'I saw itirveral parties
running towards Mrs. Bell's house. I went up, and
was informed that a murder had been committed,
and went up and saw the deceased lying at the foot
of the steps at the doorway-- in -a -pool of blood. I
went into the parlour and saw Stephen Bell walk-
ing up and down the room. He said " It's a bad
job ! it's a had job !"- The body was tsst. brought
into this room, and we removed StePhen • Bell into
the other room: Captain Ross went vfith me.
I charged ' Bell -with ;stabbing Captain Caddy,
and. he said "I did it,. my character and practice
are all gone, it is no use my denying it.", Ho said
" Captain Caddy threatened to send for a-poliCeman'
and I took the . weapon in self-defence." What
Capt. Ross stated is quite correct as to the search-=
he gave me the broken spear. I now produce ; there
. was more blood upon it at thdt time than there is
,now, and it appeared-Otte fresh.
Joseph Harris—l am sergeant of the county cbn-
stabulary of the Ffelston district. Last evening I
'took charge of Stephen Belt from the superinten-
Aent,, and conveyed. him :to' the lock-up. I 'then
'searched him and found on him.a letter, a memo-
randum book, an advertiseinent for the sale of his
goods in Devonshire, and a razor, secured in two
pocket handkerchiefs, although he told inehe had
othing on him. Mr. Jacobs came in, and Stephen
Bell spoke to him in my presence, and' said, " I
have done for Captain Caddy," and he then put his
hands on my shoulder; and began to cry.'
Robert Constantine Fender.—l am ra,,resident at
Falmouth. Last night I heard a noise .at Mrs.
Bell's house, and shortly after I "Saw Capt. Caddy
cross over the Terrace from his own house with, I
fancy, Miss Bell. About ten minutes afterwards I
went and opened the 'window and saw people run-
ning towards Mrs. Bell's house, and I went up and
found Captain Caddy lying on-the gravel in front
of the doorway apparently dying--7he never spoke.
I met Misi Bell and she said--=" My brother :has
killed Captain Caddy." Stephen Bell carne out to
the door several times, and he said" You sea what.
you have driven me to."
The depositions were fully read over to Mr. Bell,
and he was cautioned by the Coroner that whatever
he might say would be taken•down in writing, and
might be used against him.. No professional gen-
tleman attended the inquest on his behalf; but, at
the suggestion of the Rev. W. J. Coope and the
Rev. F. H. Scrivener, he declined making any
statement.
The Deputy Coroner, having summed up the evi-
dence with great clearness, definitelTshowing the
difference between murder and
:manslaughter, told
the jury that if they thought 'the fatal blow was
given whilst Mr. Bell was enraged and smarting
under the passion arising from previous and suffi-
cient provocation, and that there were no other
facts in the case tending to a contrary Conclusion,
they would be justified in finding a verdict of man-
slauobhter • and that he should now leave, the case
in their hands, feeling assured that after the patient
attention they had given to it, they would return
a conscientious and satisfactory verdict.
The jury, after-about a quarter of an hour's con-
sultation, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder
against Stephen Bamfield Lovell Bell ;" and the
Deputy Coroner issued his warrant for the pri-
soner's committal to the county gaol, for trial at
the next assizes.

The prisoner is about 50 years of age. He passed
through Truro, on Saturday morning, on his Way
to Bodmin ; and, of course, was an object of much
interest to persons who witnessed his arrival, and
his removal fora while to the Truro policelstation.
The spear referred to in the above evidence is a
most formidable weapon ; the blade is about ten
inches long•and 12 inches broad ; the hatidle Is, of
ebony, and, before broken, was about 10 feet)lbhg ;
the breakage, which was at half length, was new
and exhibited no appearance of any previous track,
but merely the ordinary appearance of the break-
age of a close short-grained wood. The spear was
silver-mounted, and was ornamented with a red
plume. When it was shown to the jury and iden-
tified by Miss Mary Ann Bell, there was blood on
the blade and on the end where broken.
The prisoner, Stephen Bell, was afterwards
charged. before T. M. Horsford, Esq., county magis-
trate, with the wilful murder of Captain Caddy,
Mr. Jenkins appeared on behalf of the prosecution,
and Mr. Moorman watched the case on behalf of
the prisoner. Similar evidence was given before the
magistrate, who committed the prisoner to take his
give evidence ; Mr. Superintendent

murder; and the various witnesses were bound over

WIND, Easterly ; rather fresh, with fine weather.

The deadly particulars of the great battle of
Solferino gradually ooze out in all their stern
reality. It was indeed a battle very dearly won
but if we set the loss of life against the certain
advantages that are now ensuing, and must eventu-
ally ensue, perhaps the immediate sacrifice may
prove a vast gain ultimately ; for in petty skir-
mishes between outposts, and harassing marches
and countermarches, thousands of lives are daily
squandered, without taking into account the never-
ceasing casualties incident to sieges and assaults in
the " imminent deadly breach," whereof little or no
reckoning is ever made. It all goes to swell

" The pomp and circumstance of glorious war !"

and so passes unheeded, because unknown to kin and
kindred. Indeed it is not considered game to let out
the secrets of the charnel-house in military matters,
as such disasters are considered inevitable in the
daily wear and strife of an army in the field. So
we must take matters as they come, and hope for
better.

Now, we must do the Emperor NAPOLEON the
justice to admit that he tempers Tictory with a
wise discretion, by not shocking the public sym-
pathy with immediate particulars of a hecatomb of
slain. No ; he admits that the battle was sangui-
nary—aye, sanguinary on both sides; but then he
mercifully withholds the numbers, possibly from
their enormity, and the difficulty of acquiring even
a proximate knowledge of the too sad disaster.
Still, he contrives to alleviate the calamity by ap-
pealing to the national spirit to participate in the
glory of victory. In this consists the true secret
of generalship, and so he enlists the patriotic en-
thusiasm of the people in the triumph which, they
are proud to feel, sheds its lustre even on them.

The graphic account from a correspondent of the
Times, which we copy, will be found to give a better
description of that long-extended field, and the
many
,vicissitudes of that mortal day, than any
that have yet appeared. It is written by a corre-
spondent from the Austrian side, but it may be
relied on so far as it goes, for it bears all the grand
similitude of truth. The writer was perched on
a hill-top, from which he could contemplate the
boiling tumult below, extending far and far away,
until vision grew dim in the very chaos of its
indistinctness.

"By Heaven! it was a splendid sight to
For one who had no friend, no brother there ;
Their rival scarfs of mixed embroidery,
Their various arms that glitter in the air 1"

But who can picture the breathless agony of sus
pence wringing the very souls of those who had
been looking on while

`, Red battle stamped his foot, and nations felt the shock

Since writing the above we have received another
account from another correspondent of the Times,
giving a vivid picture from the French and Sardi-
nian side, so that our readers may judge for them-
selves, and render justice to both. His description
of the early part of the conflict is admirable. The
morning had scarcely dawned when the conflict
began, for Preparations had begun on the Austrian
side the night before that dreadful morn which
ushered in

Battle's magnificently stern array I"
tc Three hosts combine to offer sacrifice
Three tongues prefer strange orisons on high ;
Three gaudy standards flout the pale blue sky
Their shouts are France, Sardinia---VictorY
And Austria proves—the victim_

And so we trust it will ever be with those who
oppress their fellow-men—for the harsh, the brutal
conduct of Austria for upwards of forty long years
of tyranny in Italy was enough to sink the heart
of the hitherto most favoured nation on the face of
the earth.

The French admit the loss of 720 officers put hors
de combat, 120 of whom were killed, and 12,000
privates killed and wounded. Among the killed are
seven colonels and six lieutenant-colonels, and
among the wounded are five generals. This proves
how gallantly the officers led on their men. Now,
mark how stingily the Austrians admit their loss as
compared with the frankness of their conquerors.
The Austrians say—" the loss at the battle of the
24th, as yet ascertained, is 1,900 killed and
8,100 wounded." Had they admitted their
loss at three times the amount it would be
much nearer, and, perhaps, even then, fall far short
of the truth.

The French are now under the walls of Verona.
The arrival of Prince N.troLEom with 35,000
men has enabled the Emperor NAPOLEON to leave
a corps d'armee at Goito to watch Mantua,
while another army is assembling at Brescia to
watch the passes of the Tyrol. Before another
week is well over we may hear of the fall of
Pescheira, as well as Venice and Verona to boot.

Mr. COBDEN has decided in a manner worthy of
Ills great reputation. Returning to this country
to find himself nominated to a seat in the Cabinet,
