ARRIVAL OF THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE
AND LORD RAGLAN.

The Duke of CamOridge, accompanied by Lord
Raglan, Lord De Ros, Colonels Steele; Tyrwhitt
and Somerset, and Majors the lion. James Mac-
donald and Wellesley, attended by a numerous
suite, arrived at Calais yesterday morning at one
o'clock, where they were received by the Hon. H.
.Howard, attaché to the British Embassy, and the
Vicomte de Toulongen, and immediately left by a
special train for Paris, where they arrived about
nine o'clock.

His Excellency Lord Cowley and Marshal
Vaillant, the Minister at War, were in waiting to
receive them. A guard of honour of the Gen-
darmerie d'Elite was stationed at the railway ter-
minus, and, court carriages were in attendaLce for
the Prince and his suite.

After a few moments delay the distinguished
travellers were conveyed to the British Embassy,
where they partook of slight refreshment, and at
one o'clock three Imperial State carriages were in
waiting to conduct them, under an escort from the
Regiment of Guides, to the Tuileries, where they
were received by the Emperor and the Empress.
They were heartily cheered, during the passage,
by &considerable crowd assembled in the streets,
some of whom cried " Vive les Anglais."
On leaving the Tuileries, the DuKe of Cam-
bridge, Lord Raglan, and suite, proceeded to visit
Prince Jerome at the Palais Royal.
The Count de Pepoli, one of the nephews of
Prince Murat, is about to leave Paris, where he
has been for some time. It is whispered that there
is some intention of creating a movement in public
opinion in favour of the pretensions of that family.
The person in question has, it is said, been strongly
adVised by the Emperor, and even warned, against
engaging in any foolish enterprise which would
have the effect of adding to the political complica-
tions of the day.
The Moniteur confirms the statement that a
grand review is to be passed by the Emperor, in
honour of the Duke of Cambridge. This review
is to take place to-day (Wednesday), in the Champ
de Mars. The regiments which are to figure in it
are the infantry and cavalry of the garrison of
Paris, including the Garde de Paris and the gen-
darmerie d.'elite, and the regiments of cavalry sta-
tationed at Versailles, Saint Germain, Compiegne,
Melun, and Fontainebleau, forming a total of 24
battalions and 45 squadrons, together with seven
batteries of artillery and the companies of engi-
neers attached to the army of Paris. The generals
on active service who are not to hold commands in
the review, and who may wish to accompany his
Majesty, are directed to assemble at half-past 12
in the Court of the Tuileries ; they are to be on
horseback and in full uniform.
A farewell dinner was given on Monday evening,
at the " Trois Freres Provencaux," to Mr. Sanford,
late Charge d'Affaires, and for several years Secre-
tary of the Legation of the United States at Paris,
by his countrymen, on the occasion of his return
to the United States. More than one hundred
Americans from all parts of the Union took part in
this festivity, which was presided over by Mr.
Mcßae, the Consul of the United States, supported
as Vice-Presidents by Messrs. Corbin, Munroe,
Dorr, &c., and at which were present, as invited
guests, the new American Ministers, Mr. Mason,
and Secretary, and other. Members of the Diplo-
matic Corps and Officers of the Army and Navy
now in Paris. The proceedings were marked by
the greatest harmony and good feeling.
An Imperial decree enacts that, in virtue of the
treaty of commerce and navigation between France
and Portugal, concluded on the 9th March, 1853,
" there shall not be imposed on the agricultural or
manufacturing productions of Portugal, imported
directly into France under the Portuguese flag,

Cardinal Corsi, who has been just nominated
Archbishop of Pisa, does not proceed to his diocese
on account of the difference which still exists be-
tween the Court of Rome and the Tuscan Govern-
ment. Rome demands the abrogation of the Lee-

the order.

A telegraphic despatch dated Turin, 10th, says
—" The Duke de Valentinois (Prince de Monaco)

The trial of the assassins of Count Pellegrio
Rossi was terminated. Four were condemned to
death. Amongst them is Colonel Grandoui. The
penalty, it was believed, would be commuted.

SECONDARIES COURT-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Secondary Potter )

mar. CON.-2,000/. DAMAGES.-PEDDER V. PURVII.

This was an inquiry to assess damages in an action for
criminal conversation with plaintiff's wife, defendant bay'
ing suffered judgment to go by default.
The damages were laid at 3,0001.
Mr. Bovill, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Archibald), stated
the case, from which it appeared that the plaintiff was
one of the partners in the Old Bank at Preston, and the
defendant was formerly assistant surgeon in the 50th
Regiment of Foot. The learned counsel then said
as the. defendant had suffered judgment to go by default,
the duty of ths jury was simply to assess the damages,
.although no compensation in money could be an ecluiva.
lent to the loss of happiness which had been entailed on
the plaintiff; but the present proceedings were prelitninal
to applying fora dicorce, and the amount of the damages
generally had seine weight on the question. He this
stated the facts of the case. In lil7 the plaintiff was
married to a young lady of the name of Emma Sit-111)v%
both of them being 23 years of age, and their circumstances
might be said to be also equal, thus showing that the union
was one of pure affection. The lady was the natural
daughter of a West India proprietor, who on his death
left her a sum of 6,0001., the interest of which was to he
at her use, and on her death the principal was to go to her
children; and if she had none, then to be at her s, de disposal.
She was also entitled to the reversionary interest in the $l3lO
of 4,0001. on the death of her brother. One child was the
issue of the marriage, but, perhaps fortunately under the
painful circumstances, it died. The plaintiff and Mrs.r cd"
der lived on terms of the greatest affection until the suar
mer of last year, when the defendant's regiment was 611:
tioned at l ulwood Barracks, near Preston, and he, with
other officers of the regiment, received invitations to plain'
tiff's house, and was received there on terms of friendship
during the time the regiment remained there. In the
month of July there were circumstances which led the
plaintiff to entertain some grave suspicion as to the con'
duct of Mrs Pedder, and he expostulated with her, sl
though he had not at he time any suspicion that there
had been any criminal intercourse between her and the
i
defendant, he warned her of her indiscretion, on will°
she became violent and insisted on going back to her friend!
at Liverpool, where she remained some time until she left
with defendant and went to Plymouth, where his regiment
was stationed. It was discovered that they afterwards live'
together as man and wife, under assumed names, as' Hat
met ton Fulliot, about 6 miles from Plymouth. They sty;
sequently went over to Belgium, where they still resideoli
The learned counsel said he was certain that the jury would
consider this one of the grossest cases which could well he
brought before them, and entitled the plaintiff to exelr
plary damages, as the defendant would take possession
the interest in the 6,0001. ; and should he survive
Pedder, he would no doubt take possession of all her Pr°.
perty.
Witnesses were then called to prove the reciprocal nsd
affectionate conduct of the plaintiff and his wife until the
• defendant was unfortunately introducsd to plaintiff's
house. Direct evidence• was given as to the adultery.
Inspector Thomas of the Plymouth police was calla',
and proved that, acting under instructions, he went to the
house occupied by defendant and Mrs. Pedder, and elt
pushing open the door he saw defendant get ella
and crawl under the bed, the lady screamed stt,
defendant desired witness to leave the room, but he stated
that he was a police-officer, and insisted on his coil
out, aid at lengtn he did so, and was identified by Colon,.
Martin, who had gone there in consequence of a telegraphsi
message. Witness subsequent y went to Belgium, 141
served defendant with a writ and a notice on Mrs. Pedderi
Thomas Norton, Esq., the barrister, formerly Judge at.
Demerara and Chief Justice of Newfoundland, proved the!
the will under which Pedder became entitled to the
above amount was strictly legal and duly authenticated.
The learned Secondary then summed up.
The jury wished to kuoiv the income of the defendant. k
Mr. Boville said t at, aczortling to the law, he could net
give evidence on that point, although he might in a case
of seduction.

The jury retired for a short time, and then gave a icr.
dirt fur plaintiff, damages 2,0001.
