but her father contradicted this in her presence, on
which she became enraged, and left her father's
house for her husband's. He enquired why she re-
turned, and she complained of her father's conduct
to her as the reason. Her unaccountable conduct
induced him to make enquiries, which led him to
suspect that not only had he lost her affections, but
that they were transferred to another. A governess,
and other upper servants, were desired to make obser-
v.itions, from which it was learned that when Lady C.
was at her father's, she had mixed with the families in
the neighbourhood,and had been observed to be fami-
liar with some military men,amongst the rest one par-
Ccularofficer,whom she had on two or three occasions
taken into her carriage, when driving to and from
the town of Roscrea, a few miles from her father's,
where the regiment was quartered. He sent a gen-
tleman to this officer, who gave such an explanation
as satisfied him there was nothing exactly criminal
in their intercourse. This took place in the month
of June, 1829; and instead of submitting to reproof
for her conduct on the occasion, the lady refused to
remain longer under her husband's roof. She re-
turned to her father's house. The defendant's re-
giment was at this time quartered in Roserea, and
he was about two or three-and-twenty years of age,
the lady was two-and-thirty. It was not known
how her familiarity with him commenced; but in the
month of May, 1830, his regiment having been or-
dered to Fermoy, he obtained leave of absence, on
which he proceeded to Dublin, and stopped at the
Bilton Hotel. She had meanwhile left her father's,
accompanied by a Miss Kendal, as companion, a
confidential servant of her father's, named Mrs.
Greer, her own maid, and a postillion, who drove
her carriage, to reside, as she said, a short time in
Dublin. She lodged at the house of a Mr. Norman,
a respectable attorney in Saekville-street, and on the
9th of June she eloped with the defendant. Lieu-
tenant Trollop engaged in person the chaise which
conveyed them to nowth, from whence they sailed
to Holyhead, where they stopped all night, arid
passed as man and wife; they proceeded next day to
Beaummis, where they lodged some time, and re-
presented themselves as a new married couple.
They were recognised and identified by persons in
the employment of Sir Henry Carden. On the
16th of July they returned to Dublin, and stopped
at Elvidge's hotel, in South Frederick-street, where
the defendant was served with a writ, on which the
present action was brought. Lieutenant Trollop
now joined his regimint at Fermoy, where the lady
accompanied him, and they lived together without
any attempt to conceal their intercourse. They
lodged first at the house of a person named Kings-
ton, who finding they bore different names, (she still
retaining that of her husbend) was led to make en-
quiries, and finally to desire them to quit his lodg-
ings. They removed to the house of a man named
Barry, where they remained during the stay of the
regiment in Fermoy. When the regiment was or-
dered to the West Indies, Lieutenant Trollop went
out with it, and Lady Carden embarked shortly after
for England, went to Falmouth, and from thence to
Barbadoes, where the regiment was stationed. Mr.
Bennett concluded by stating that he had studiously
abstained from using any harsh language on the
conduct of the offending parties, but felt assured
that his client would receive such ample damages at
the hands of the Jury as would vindicate his charac-
ter and recompense his feelings.
Evidence was adduced in proof of the above facts,
after which the Jury returned a verdict of 2501.
damages, and 6d. costs.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Portsmouth Herald of Sunday.)
Potcrsmourn, MAY 21.—His Majesty's ship
Blonde, 46, Captain Sir T. Pasley (Act.) arrived
on Friday from the Mediterranean, her time of ser-
vice having expired. The Blonde left Malta on the
Bth of March and arrived at Leghorn on the Bth of
April, where she received on board the body of the
late Hon. K. Erskine, for conveyance to England.
She arrived at Messina April 10th, and Naples on
the 12th, where his Neapolitan Majesty was making
himself extremely popular, by giving public dinners
and riding and walking about in public without any
guards, &c. There were two Neapolitan frigates
lying there, whose crews were repairing the ships
belonging to their navy. A number of gun-boats had
Litely been fitted, and great attention was paid to
the exercising the men at their guns, the boats being
constantly in the bay practising. On the Blonde's
passage from Naples to Gibraltar, she pas and
spoke Commodore Riddle, in the American frigate
Brandywine, the finest frigate in their service, but
whose sailing qualities could not compete with the
Blonde's in any one way. The Commodore paid
Sir T. Pasley some very handsome compliments on
the appearance and sailing qualities of the Blonde,
and on parting company his band played the national
anthem, which was answered by the Blonde manning
yards and giving.three hearty cheers, which were
returned in a like manner by the American Commo-
dore's ship's company. The Blonde arrived at
Gibraltar on the 6th of May, and on the 7th his
Majesty's ship Actwon arrived from England. The
Blonde left Gibraltar on the 9th, and beat through
the Gut in forty-five tacks, being the only instance
of the kind, with one exception, on record. She
arrived at Tangiers on the 10th, and exchanged the
usual salutes with the Emperor, and sailed on the
following day, when she spoke the mail on its passage
out, and a French corvette with sealed orders, from
Toulon. She passed the Galatea off the Eddystone
Light-house on Thursday evening. A monument
was being erected at Malta, to the memory of the
late Captain Spencer, late of his Majesty's ship Ma-
dagascar, at the expense of that ship's company; the
pillar was in the form of Cleopatra's Needle, standing
upon a much larger base, and surrounded by an
amphitheatre; its situation was at the head of Valetta
harbour. At the request of his Majesty William the
Fourth. the bastion called St. Michael's, is now
called Spencer's bastion. The Blonde has brought
home an extensive assortment of antiques, amongst
them two very fine mummies; she has brought also
a valuable Arabian horse for Captain Malcolm. The
following passengers came home in the Blonde :
s
Corn. Boyce, R.N. Lieut. Stace, R.E. Mr. Kemble,
of the celebrated Mr. C. Kemble, Don Calderon,
son of the late Spanish Prime Minister, and about
twenty invalided marines and seamen. The disposi-
tion of the Fleet in the Mediterranean, at a later date
than the sailing of the Blonde, will be found in a
subsequent article.
