CANADA.

There is much needless display of anxiety as to
the threats of Mr. Seward with respect to an
attack on the province. Now, Mr. Seward merely
talked of annexing Canada as usual, forgetting
that there are two parties to a bargain. It is well
known that the British and French Canadians are
united in their contempt of the institutions of the
vaunted Republic, which have long degenerated into
mob law. The Canadians of French origin adhere to
the Roman Catholic religion. The Church possesses
a great amount of real property, which the priests
and the people well know is safe under British
laws, but would be confiscated under Yankee Puri-
tan rules; they don't forget the burning of the
convent at Boston, and they describe the Yankees as
brigands. They remember how, when Canada only
numbered half a million of British subjects, they
thrice repulsed invasion, and took Generals Scott
and Cass prisoners. They are now two-and-a-half
millions of people fall of loyal to the British Crown.
Troops, arms, and ammunition can be sent to St.
John's, New Brunswick, and on by rail to Frederic-
ton, and then by sledges to Riviere du Loup, the
terminus of the Grand Trunk Railway. In the
middle of December the St. Lawrence is closed by
ice, and, although open in the middle of the stream
as low as the Island of Bic. ice forms out for about
a mile from the shore. The only inconvenience
Canada would suffer in winter would be the delay
in despatching mails to St. John's, instead of Port-
land.—Liverpool Albion.

THE VOCAL ASSOCIATION.—The Right Hon. tho
Earl of Dudley is expected to preside at the annual general
meeting of the Vocal Association during the present month.
His lord ship, who is always a liberal patron of the fine arts, has
contributed greatly to the success of this society since he has
consented to become the president, by the establishment of
the annual conversazioni, which is certainly one of the most
brilliant and interesting of the season. The society com-
mences its rehearsals for the season, 1862, under the direc-
tion of M. Benedict, immediately after the general meeting
is held.

NEW LIFEBOATS FOR SPAlN.—Yesterday some
satisfactory experiments were made with three powerful
lifeboats in the Regent's Canal Book, Limehouse. They
were built by the Messrs. Forrest on the plan of the
National Lifeboat Institution, for the Spanish Government.
The boats are respectively 35 feet and 32 feet long. The
usual qualities of self-righting and self-ejecting of water of
this class of lifeboat were most satisfactorily accomplished
in the presence of a large number of persons, including the
rector and curate of Limehouse and some members of their
families, the Secretary of the National Institution, th e
Messrs. Forrest, and the Messes. Ritherden and Thornton,
the lifeboat surveyors of the Spanish Government. The
boats are to be stationed forthwith at Corunna and two
other places on th© coast of Spain. Messrs. Forrest are
building three additional lifeboats for the Government of
that country. They have also in hand six or seven life-
boats for the National Lifeboat Institution. It is earnestly
hoped that the Emperor of the French will, over his sea-
board, extending about 1,000 miles, follow this very laud-
able example of the Queen of Spain.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

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.

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.
