London, England, 1859-07-05

midst of a heavy shower of rain, and there, with
immense applause, raised the banner of the Sove-
reign. Every street was searched but no trace of
an enemy remained : every one, as if by enchant-
ment, had disappeared, and Perugia was com-
pletely occupied by the troops. The conduct of
the troops, of the officers, and subalterns, the non-
commissioned officers, and of the privates, was in
general such as do credit to the foreign regiments
in the service of the Holy See, and well merits the
trust that is reposed in them.
"Nor ought I to be silent on the equal proofs of
courage given by the indigenous troops of every
arm who took part in the operation. I find worthy
of notice the act of the gendarme Paolo Cavalieri,
who, although under arrest, begged to be allowed
to take part in the fight, and wiLs unfortunately
struck by a ball, which broke his leg and placed his
life in danger. The gendarme Paoletti was also
wounded by a ball. I reserve to myself to give a
separate report of the soldiers who distinguished
themselves the most. Our loss is sensible-10
killed, including Captain Ab 'Uberg ; 35 wounded,
including Captain Britchgy and Lieut. Cruffer.
But the enemy's loss was much more considerable ;
and although not precisely known, cannot be less
than 50 killed and 100 wounded, besides 120 pri-
soners. The same night the troops were shut in
their appointed barracks, and order and discipline
restored calm everywhere. The number of rebel
combatants is reckoned at 5,000. They were com-
manded by a certain Colonel Antonio Corrotti,
come expressly from Tuscany ; by Count Cesari and
Giuseppe Danzetta, of Perugia. Some of these are
said to be wounded. The greater part taking
flight through the various city gates escaped hastily
to the Tuscan territory, but many are still hidden,
and are falling every day into the power of the
military government instituted by me. Now trail-
quillity and order are re-established amongthe peo-
ple, and the environs, such as Citta de Castello, le
Fratte, &c., have made their voluntary submission
to the government of the Holy See. A column of
about 50 Tuscan Tuscan volunteers, who had ar-
med at Passignano, returned to their own country
when they heard of the result. The disarming
goes on, and a considerable quantity of arms and
ammunition is collected. Having thus given an
account of my mission, I have only to add that my
sole desire and that of my troops is to prove our
devotion and fidelity to the august Sovereign and
Government whom we have the honour to serve.

The Colonel commanding the regiment.

THE ARMY.

The following circular memorandum, ordering
the discontinuance of prizes given by officers to the
best marksmen with the Enfield rifle has just been
issued from the Horse Guards by order of the Duke
of Cambridge, and addressed to all commanding
officers:—

" The General Commanding-in-Chief understands that
it is customary in some regiments for captains to bestow,
from their private funds, rewards to the best shots in their
comeanies.
"This practice, though commendable in those who can
afford it, as showing their esprit de corps, is in other re
speata invidious towards officers who, with every disposi-
tion to bestow like rewards, are unable to accomplish it.
" Government has liberally granted distinctions and
attendant pecuniary advantages to those who excel in rifle-
shooting. His Royal Highness therefore requests that you
will prohibit the practice above alluded to, being confident,
from the returns of regiments and from the reports of the
Inspector-General of Musketry, that soldiers possess in
themselves sufficient emulation to attain perfection in that
post important part of their instruction without other in-
due ling)* than those provided by regulation.
By command,
"G. A, WETHERALL, Adjutant-General."
Yesterday orders were issued to the barrack au-
thorities at Chatham garrison directing the tents to
be prepared and pitched near the hut barracks, at
Brompton, for a portion of the depot companies
belonging to the 3d battalion of infantry, to be
encamped within the fortifications at Prince Henry's
Bastion. Notwithstanding the heavy rain which
fell on Sunday morning, the troops belonging to
the 2d battalion, who are encamped within the
Spur Battery, experienced little or no inconvenience,
the ground having a sloping surface, throwing all
the water off. In order to induce the men to re-
main as much as possible within camp after the
duties of the day are over, a recreation ground has
been provided for them, and this has been furnished
with quoits, skittles, &c., amusements the troops
appear to be very fond of.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.)
BROOKE V. PEARSON.-JUDGMENT.

The question here arises under the marriage settlement
of William Pearson and Elizabeth, his wife. The hus-
band afterwards became bankrupt, and his real estate was
sold for £17,400. The wife claimed an annuity of £3OO
under the settlement; the children, £lO,OOO. The bank-
rupt's assignee claimed the residue.
His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—ln this case I
was desirous to look over the authorities yesterday before I
expressed my opinion on it, but I am of opinion that this
is a good annual rent-charge for £3OO in favour of the
wife. It is impossible for me to look to this clause in the
settlement and not clearly discover that it was the inten-
tion of Mr. and Mrs. Pearson that this should be the
arrangement of the settlement. When I first heard Mr.
Selwyn, I was disposed to think that this clause was void
ab initio, but I have come to a contrary conclusion. His
Honour declared the wife's annuity preferable to the claim
of the assignee, and directed the trustees of the settlement
to invest £lO,OOO in Three per Cent. Consols for the benefit
of the children of the marriage ; the mortgagees to be paid,
and the residue given to the assignee in bankruptcy. Costs
to be paid out of the estate.

Within the last three weeks, another issue of
Canada Government bonds has been placed in the market
to the extent of £300,000 or .E 350,000. These bonds are
redeemable in 25 years ; the discount allowed on the instal-
ments brings the issue price down to 109, per cent. • and
the present prise is 110 i to 1. The first dividend Will be
payable on the Ist Janusay next. Considered in relation
to her revenue, the debt of Canada is already very large,
and the willingness of the Government to add to it is not
likely to be diminished as long as fresh issues can be thus

SEABY V. SEABY AND BAYERSTOCK.

Dr. Waddilove appeared for the petitioner.
This was a petition by Mr. Seaby, who was
head-coachman to the Earl of Strathmore, and who
was married to the respondent on the 3d of Octo-
ber, 1842. In September, 1856, he discovered that
his wife was addicted to• habits of intemperance,
and afterwards he was compelled to obtain a sum-
mons from a police magistrate for the purpose of
obtaining protection against her violence. The case
was arranged, and they lived apart, the petitioner
agreeing to allow her 12s. a-week. On the peti-
tioner's departure in September to attend his mas-
ter in Scotland, he desired a witness named 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 further said that the separation was duly ac-
counted for by the violence which had been shown
on the part otthe wife.

This short work discovers the source of the true, the beau-

DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES.

Mr. E. JAMES asked her Majesty's Attorney-General
whether his attention had been called to the large number
of causes standing over for hearing in the Divorce and
Matrimonial Causes Court, and whether it was the inten-
tion of the Government during the present session to bring
in a bill to remedy the inconvenience ?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied that the first
legal subject to which the attention of the Government had
been directed was the state of the Court of Marriage and
Divorce. It must, however, be recollected that the arrears
which had accumulated in that Court ought not to be regarded
as affording anything like an indication of what might be
expected to be the ordinary state of business. Many if the
suits now pending had originated in circumstances which
occurred as long as seven or eight years ago, and an amaz-
ing amount of business pad been brought before the Court
simply in consequence of no tribunal of a similar nature
having previously existed. When the bill was before the
house he had been exceedingly desirous that the composi-
tion of the full Court should be enlarged, and, adopting a
suggestion of his hon. and learned friend the member for
Wallingford (Mr. Malins), he had been willing that the
whole of the judges should be competent to form the full
Court. That proposition was, however, objected to, and
the judges eligible to form the Court were limited to the
chief justices and to the senior puisne judges of each Court.
A measure would be submitted to Parliament without de-
lay for the purpose of extending the number of persons
eligible to form the full Court, with the view of at once
reducing the arrears of causes.. The bill to which he re-
ferred would also deal with other matters, and would, he
hoped, tend materially to. improve the efficiency of the
Court. Ho trusted that measure would receive the sanc-
tion of Parliament during the present session.
The motion for the adjournment of the house till Monday
was then agreed to.

SUPPOSED SUICIDE OF A GIRL.

Mr. Bedford, coroner for Westminster' proceeded
yesterday morning with a lengthened investiga-
tion, at Westminster Hospital, respecting the death
of Ellen Daley, aged 16, who took a quantity of
essence of bitter almonds, under very extraordinary
circumstances.

From the evidence of Catherine Collins, it ap-
peared that on Thursday evening last she went to
No. 5, George-street, Broadway, where deceased
lived with her mother. On going into the room
she saw deceased sitting at the table with a cup in
her hand, and on the table was a small phial empty,
which deceased told her to smell, saying it was like
honey, and then handed her (witness) the cup, in
which was some liquid, which deceased said she
had poured from the phial. Witness asked what
she was going to do with it, when she said she was
going to drinkit, and almost immediately did so,
when her head fell forward, and she became speech-
less and appeared to be dead. Without delay she
was conveyed to Westminster Hospital, and at-
tended by Mr. Trendall, assistant-house surgeon,
but, notwithstanding every remedy, she sank and
expired in a few moments.
It further appeared from the statements of other
witnesses, that the deceased had been home only a
week from a situation she was in at Windsor,
where it is supposed the poison was brought from.
The deceased was to have been married to a young
man, named Richard Hill, on Sunday. next, which
day she fixed herself on Monday evening last.
The medical testimony showed that death was
caused from the swallowing of the essence of
almonds, and further went to show that some
doubts existed of foul play towards the deceased.
The Coroner then remarked that it was one of
the most extraordinary and mysterious cases he had
known for some time, and he considered that the
further hearing of the case had better be adjourned
in order to find out whether the poison was really
brought from the house in which the deceased was
in service at Windsor' or not. The account that
was given of her coming from her situation, and
other facts, tended to throw suspicion on the case,
and therefore he considered the case had better be
adjourned.
The jury concurred.

THE QUEEN'S HOTEL, Queen stow n.—Mr
ROBERT WILSON respectfully apprises tourists and
families visiting this delightful watering-place, the air of
which is famed. throughout Europe, that the splendid esta-
blishment so well known as the " Queen's Hotel" has come
under his management. This hotel is one of the finest in the
United Kingdom; and besides being furnished with all the
luxuries and appliances of a First-class Hotel, it combines all
the advantages of a beautiful situation, commanding charm-
ing views, the best attendance, ample accommodation either
for families or single visitors, close contiguity to the steam-
boat pier, and the finest promenades of Queenstown, and a
scale of prices so moderate as to enable its visitors to enjoy
all the advantages of a first-class hotel on the same terms
they would have to pay in a minor one. From its open and
healthful situation the Queen's Hotel is also peculiarly suit-
able for invalids.

0141470 N V. GIBSON.

This was an application for a dissolution of the
marriage, on the ground of adultery, coupled with
desertion, presented by Ann Gibson against James
Gibson.
The marriage took place at St. Peter's, Notting-
ham, in March, 1842, the husband then being a
grocer and druggist. They cohabited at various
places until 1851, when the respondent went away
to America, but subsequently returned, and in
1854 Mrs. Gibson was laving with her sister, near
Darlington, and her husband with his mother, in
the neighbourhood, and he occasionally came to see
his wife, but in July in that year, after a dispute,
he again went away, and she had only seen him
once since that period, when he called in a state of
intoxication at the house where she was staying.
It was shown, however, in evidence that when the
parties were living apart, Mrs. Gibson declined to
live with him unless he gave up his gambling and
drinking habits. With regard to the adultery, the
brother of the petitioner deposed that he had called
at a house in Lambeth, where he saw the re-
spondent, who admitted he was living with a fe-
male, and had been for the last five years, and said
that he had washed his hands of his wife, and she
could easily prove desertion against him.
After some further discussion,
Their lordships said they would take time to con-
sider their decision.
TOMKIN V. TOMKIN AND DRAGE,
This was a suit fora dissolution of marriage by
the Rev. J. W. Tomkin, of Layham, near gad-
leign, in Suffolk, by reason of his wife's adultery.
The parties were married in February, 1854, the
respondent being the widow of an officer named
Sugden. The adultery was alleged to have
taken place between May and July, 1856, at St.
Helier s, Jersey, with Mr. Drage, who had been an
officer in her Majesty's 85th Regiment—pleaded a
decree of divorce a tnensa et thoro, granted on the
sth of May, 1857, and also a judgment for £l,OOO
damages in an action for criminal conversation.
Since these proceedings it was proved that the re-
spondent and co-respondent had been living to-
gether as man and wife, at 34, Argylesquare,
where they were served with a copy of the citation.
Their lordships had recommended the evidence to
be taken by affidavit.
Drs. Addams and Swabey appeared for the
petitioner.
Their lordships said that they had already the

PRICE 4D. STAMPED, 5D

affidavits in. the case, and were perfectly satisfied
of the fact of the adultery.
An order was accordingly made for the dissolu-
tion of the marriage, but no order was made as to
costs.

ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE.

Just Published, price Is., free by Post for Fourteenyptamps,
SECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NE 'AVOUS
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.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" 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 ;

VOLUNTEER CORPS.

Sir J. SHELLEY asked the Secretary of State for War
whether her Majesty's Government adopted the views of
the late Administration with respect to volunteer corps, or
whether they would be disposed to supply a sufficient quan-
tity of arms for practice ?
Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT said that the Government
had taken into consideration the different offers made by
various parties with reference to the formation of volunteer
corps, and were highly gratified by the public spirit dis-
played on this subject. The Government had consented to
accept their services on certain conditions, namely, that
there should be selected in all cases a ground of sufficient
range for practice, which should be examined by competent
officers ; that their arms should be placed in safe custody ;
and that the corps should be under practical military disci-
pline. The Government proposed to furnish arms to 25
per cent. of the corps.
