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 pars
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.
Tn cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the
Influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits. indiscri-
minate excesses, improper diet, "hardship, or by injudici•us
treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con-
junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene-
rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had
been pronounced impossible

mortem 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 1
cerebral membranes and muscles were greatly I
eeehymosed. 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
n it death. The food had 1 robab:y been in the stomach
three or four hours. Both blows were probably
received before death, but might have been delivered
afterwards. There were no marks of the body
having been violated. ThCi rope found hal 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 beinc, 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 of almost unparalleled
atrocity.

TANTIA TOPE:E.

(Ft on 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 brought
to a court-martial, and on the ISth, according 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
he 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
Rose, 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 he 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 bI. 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 him 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-
out 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 Mahratta 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 acquired than 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 slight, and, indeed, had never
been preferred. He not only fought against us in re-
peated engagements, but 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 y 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 he 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
like
the
marauder of the true old stamp. He was
adventurers pursued by Welleskyand Hastings,
and if he had not met his match in those opposed

de r

to him he might have founded a dynasty.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—May 20.

COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL

CAUSES.
(Before the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Baron Martin,

and the Judge Ordinary.)
MARCHMONT V. AIARCIIMONT. •
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—They 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 dissolution ,of --marriage
had been pronounced, and the corespondent had
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 the
,proctor be
paid his costs accordingly.
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 V. RAFC LIFF AND 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 had 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 petitioner ; Dr. Swabey for the
respondent; Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Mr. Addams
for the corespondent.
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 Poon the She was then a Miss Pitts, the daugh-
ter of an officer in the Bengal military establish-
ment. The path ies 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, 1350, 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 correspondence, 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 soll.cited
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.') Bad
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 appearance a 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 Itatcliff has a claim to demand

Andersen's loss of profession, because Mrs. Ratcliff
chose to invade his tent uninvited. I think Ander

son is to be
d, not
Rpunished,
chooses
sntdo stay,
payinghe has done. I
do
not see why you or I should have anything 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 dearly for his weakness,
and I see no justice in forcing him to lose his pro-
fession. I would give him back his promise. Had
Captain Anderson seduced Mrs. Ratcliff, or if ha
had kept her with him, 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 convzrsant in the details—
I am not ; and I cannot interfere beyond the
answer to your question, that is to say, were I in
have it
possession of Anderson's promise he should
"C. NAPIER.
back.--Yours, &c.
"Lieutenant-Colonel Boileau." _

Dr. Phillimore submitted that under the circum-
stances disclosed in the correspondence it was
doubtful whether the case was one in which ho
ought 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 had been to compel 11101 to quit the
service himself.
The court took time to consider.
lIAWKYARD V. HAWKYARD AND FOSTER.
This was a petition for a dissolution of marriage,
promoted by Win. Hawkyard against Mary Ann,
his wife, for adultery committed with a person
unknown, and with the co-respondent, James

Foster.
The parties were married at the parish church,
Evidence was given to the
