The only additional information supplied by the papers this morning is to the effect that the police are on a fresh track, and that the hope still pre vails that the assassin cannot much longer evade the pursuit. Two of the London detective ford have arrived in Dublin to lend their assistance to the local authorities: According to the Freeman's Journal, the Government is be stirrin g itself, and, by directions from high places, Whither and Smith, the London detectives, commenced operations yes terday at the Broadstone terminus. New ground has been broken, and the exploration after facts is going on steadily and surely. The durance to which Catherine Campbell, the servant girl, has been subjected has made her less taciturn, and she has of late become more communicative. _ ~ E - ,t-i hiJ ,4•; • JAMES C.

STAMPED SD• the damages accordingly. It appeared to him that as the law stood the damages ought to be very different in a case where malice was exhibited from what they should be when the alleged libel was merely an exaggeration of such fair comments and criticisms as the facts and circumstances commented upon justified. He would leave the matter without further observation to the jury, in whose hands the constitution had placed the decision of such questions, recommending them to read the article for themselves, and reminding them that if they considered that the second plea was not made out to their satisfaction. then they would have to assess the damages according as the:i were of opinion that the libel was actuated by malice or not. The jury then retired, and after an absence of twenty minutes returned, and gave their verdict for the defen dants. such matters as the disputes between Lord Raglan and Lord Cardigan, and the merits of the Chelsea Board's verdict, then there is an end at once to the political discussions of the press. Lord Lucan had hr en accused of many things, and some of the charges c.)uld not be denied. Among th ose which no ingenuity could escape froth were the displays of temper and the want of self-command to which the alleged libel alluied. The jury, by their verdict, declared that to comment on such faults in a man holding a post of the highest import nee was within the legitimate province of a public news- :0 PRINTERS.—TO BE SOLD by Private o r Contract, the MATERIALS of a JOB PRINTING OFFICE, I " l 'ting of Te, Cases, Presses, and every requirement fir a small business,... togethery w!th sundry HOUSEHOLD FUR'S th , s w uole of which will h e sold cheap, the proprietor bring about to leave England.—Applyto Mr, Jones, News Agent, Leather-lane, Holborn, PUBLICATTONS.

The directors would act on the same eco nomical principles which heretofore guided their con duct, The motion was adopted.

WELLS ANIS FAKENMAM. Yesterday a special meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at their offices, 69, • Lombard -street, to take into comideration the propriety of raising an additional amount of capital by mortgage or bond, in conformity with the borrowing powers given them in the act of incorporation. In the absence of S. M. Pete, Bart , the chair was taken by Ur. Till. The secretary having read the notice convening the meet ing, the company's solicitor read the clause of the act in pursuance of which the meeting was convened. It recited that the company should be at liberty to borrow 23,0001. whenever all the shares might be sub scribed for and one-half paid up ; and it having been certified by the secretary that the company was in .a position legally to avail themselves of the privileges of the act, a formal resolution to that effect was pro• posed, seconded, and carried unanimously, when the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. The Lords Jo-flees have been pleased to approve of the appointment of the Earl of Balmore to be a Deputy- Lieutenant for the county of Tyrone, in the room of Lord Claude Hamilton, deceased. ST. PANCRAS.—ELECTION OF A MEMBER OF THE METI:OroLITAN BOARD Or WOBKR. —Yesterday was ap pointed by the vestry of St. Pancras for the eleci ion of a member of the Metropolitan Board, in the place of Mr. Corrie. There was a numerous attendance. Mr. Streeter, one of the churchwardens, presided. Mr. Rashleigh was nominated by Mr. Churchwarden Wyatt, and seconded by Mr. Aria. He was recommended by the former, on the ground of his having effected, as a guar dian, some useful reforms in the administration of out• noor relief, and the application of the labour test to able-bodied paupers. The other candidate, the Rev. It • Eckett, was proposed by Mr BrettioOrarn, and seconded by Mr. Hudson. They represented him as a practical man of business and a sound economist. The question was put to a show of hands, and the numbers counted wore—For Mr. Rasbleigh, 42 ; for Mr. Eckott, 42. -'A division took place, amidst great excitement and uproa , , just before which, Mr. Sheffield (a member) came lido the room. Several protests were made against his vote being 4 taken, and ultimately the tellers annout;cad the mita bers to be—For Mr. Rashleigh, including the vote of the chairman, 48; for Mr, Errkett, 43.

At the tine the division took place four gentlemen—viz., Messrs. Griffiths, Laimbeer, Pratt, and Dr. 'Wilson, voters for Ur. Ecket, were shut out, Mr. Edwin James addressed the jury for the defence. He said—My friend Sir Frederic Thesiger, feeling the weak ness of Lord Lucan's position, has directed your attention mainly to what is not the substantial point in this case. Ho has dwelt in elegant terms on what heis pleased to call attacks on private character by a malicious and licentious press. Now, I venture to say that any person who has heard this article in the Daily _heir's road—because you must take the whole of it—will find that it is no attack on private characrer, but it is the language of the historian writing for the information of the public, fairly and without control, upon public and serious events. There is no attack upon private character—there is nothing licentious in the ar tiele—:there is nothing malicious. It is an article on a subject of vital public interest, written, as I trust the press of this country will continue to have a right to write, free from control, free from censorship. It is an article writ ten not on Lord Lucan's private but his public charactela as a general paid by the people, and trusted by the people with their national honour. Sir Frederic Thesiger has been pleased to remark on the unjust and unfair manner in which the case for the defendants has been conducted. He is as full of complaints of me as his noble client was of Lord Cardigan. He has charged me with shrinking from having these letters put in. Is my learned friend aware that by an rdmission in the cause these very letters have been published by the plaintiff? And when he talks of 'ley shrinking from putting them in, does he forgot that be himself got up to object to them ? The case is of great importance to Lord Lucan, but it is of equal importance to the public: The article complained of is written, as 40100KAW gilt 40.yritotsoFit4 a bold and unflinching :rt'stroliftitttithe'Bygto - nelitinetrageentnifArattei which the finest army that ever left the shores of Eng land melted like snow before the summer's sun—no: before the foe, but before a es stein of mismanagement and misrule. By the same right that Sir Archibald Alison wrote in his history that Wellington was surprised by Na poleon at Waterloo, this articlestated that Lord Lama was unfit for command in consequence of his imperious temper, and that there was not sufficient control at head-quarters. This,article was written mainly on the mismanagement of Lord Raglan, of whom it did not sayone unkind word; but it said ho was deficient, as no doubt he was, inenergy. He had not the iron will of a Hannibal or a Napoleon. He was a kind and a very brave man, but be was entrusted with a command which required an energy and a resolution that he had not. My learned friend has spoken in eloquent terms on the effect of this article on Lord Raglan ; and ho said that it might have hastened his death, and he gave an epitaph which would have been fitting to hang onLord Raglan's tomb. But those observations were rather out of place, seeing that the article was written long after Lord Raglan's death. The article spoke of Lord Raglan as the historian had a right to speak—that he was incompetent, and I have yet to learn that a public journalist has not a right thus to speak of any public functionary. Ho may call a judge incompetent, or a statesman. Now just let us see what the nature of this article is. Sir F. Thesiger says we do not justify it. Justify it ! We rest upon our plea that this is no libel at all, and requires no apology. It is the historian writing truthfully, courageously, upon facts that have been notorious, the subjects of public comment in this country, and which have made us, in a great mea sure, the laughing-stock of Europe. Justification ! What justification do we want? There is no attack on Lord Lucan in his private capacity. It is an attack on Lord Raglan, showing that he was unfit to command. The arti cle is written on the report of the Board of Inquiry that sat at Chelsea Hospital. Sir F. Thesiger was right in stating that a report which had been previously made had deeply implicated the character of Lord Lucan as a com mander. Lord Lucan makes his case public—he makes his speech in the House of Lords. Does not his conduct, then, by his own act, become the subject of public com ment and inquiry ? What does the article charge ? That his conduct has been insolent and insubordinate; and we shall seo presently upon his own statement whether it was not so. Lord Cardigan and Lord Lucan are brothers-in law, and probably the ill-feeling between them is the more intense from the proximity of their relationship. What is Lord Lucan obliged to admit ? Why, that at Varna he addressed a letter to Lord Raglan, and upon the suggestion of Lord de Ros he withdrew it. This unseemly quarrel was carried on even on the field at Alma. At night, when perhaps the fate of Europe depended on the balance, these two noblemen were writing from their bivouac—Lord Lucan complaining of the conduct of Lord Cardigan, an& Lord Lucan saying that the conduct of Lord Cardigan was insubordinate. Thus they niarrelled, to the utter destruction of the discipline of the army. At a time when the fate of Europe trembled in the balance, these two generals, like two great spoiled school girls, were quarrel ling with each other. Lord Lucian said it was the filthiest of remark in the army that he was not entrusted with the command of his own division. This article said that Lord Raglan was not a man of the iron will that was required to control subordinate officers like these. Do you suppose that Napoleon or Wellington would have allowed these scenes? There would have been an order next day that they were both dismissed. But they were aware of Lord Raglan's affability, his courtesy, and his kindness, and they took advantage of it. Is not this a disgrace to the name of k land? Is it not a disgrace to the generals—who, allow me to say, are public men paid by the people of England, and are entrusted with the national honeur—is it not a public scandal and a disgrace that at a time when the cordial co operation of the generals was required in the face of the enemy, and in the face of an ally, a quarrel should have been going on at such a time ? Come we now to Lord Lucan's explanation. He was asked if he was not called upon by the Government at home to resign his cenamand, and if it was not because the misunderstanding between him and the Commander-in-chief was calculated to preju dice the public service, and he was obliged to admit that it was. He qualified it, by stating that a prole- hie misun derstanding might have been the cause. But he was o bii 3e d to resign his command? Why wee it ? In the despatch of Lord Raglan, as Lord Lucan has told you, it was state 4, that at the fearful charge at Balaklava Lord Lucan had misconceived the order. Is he well advised in bringing this action against the historian of his acts ? Lord Liman was charged by Lord Raglan with misconceiving his order, which led to the fatal results we are all acquainted with, to the sacrifice of a band of man in as gallant a charge as was made at Marathon or at Thermopylae. Lord Rag lan, in his despatch, could only justify it by stating that iu the brilliant achievement there was some little com pensation for the fatal misconception of his order. That misconception led to results which no man can reflect upon without horror. A most gallant set of men wore sacrificed to a misconception. The charge those men made was a charge unparalleled in dauntless hardihood, equalling the description of the pout : " Then shook the hills with thunder riven, Then rushed the steed to battle driven, And louder than the bolts of heaven Far flashed the red artillery." He is charged with having misconceived an order that destroyed the most heroic band of men who eves shed lustre on the British arms. He is then guilty of au act of insubordination. He wrote a letter to Lord Raglan, which as a soldier he had no right to do. The matter came before the Government at home, and Lord Lucan was called upon to resign his command. And yet the historian is not to say that Lord Lucan was insolent and insubordinate. Lord Cardigan is not here—l say nothing of him in his absence. The article says that the Lucau and Cardigan scandal is a disgrace to the British name ; and so it is. Lord Cardigan is mixed up with it in reference to these unseemly quarrels and petty jealousies. Lord Cardigan led the charge; but it was after that, and after the despatch which Lord Raglan sent home, that Lord Lucan thought proper to write to Lord Raglan, which the Government at home thought unbecoming. If they had had to deal with a Napoleon or a Wellington, they would have been tried by court-martial. I say nothing of Lord Cardigan when the army was at Alma sleeping in his yacht, instead of by the watch-fire, as Napoleon did at Eylau and at Wagram. The Lord Chief Baron —Lord Cardigan is not here. muchMr; James—Butforthat part of i ft the s mt libel. ate for r I public s e okt o nothing. I say it is a public comment by a courageous historian on a past event. I say he would not have written truthfully —no historian who writes on the campaigns in the Crimea would write truthfully, if he did not write as this article is written. What is the other part of the article? They are called brave, and it is charged that by the system of favouritism in the army they have attained their p os iti on. in the army will be cur e d by theW else. " Relying as they d o on a bandpyrs'eysss the eman odf b f f a ay v v o onu u o r rt i ih t t s sng r n m in high quarters." Why, it is notorious that there is such vouritism ; and has not a public journalist a right to say h aa t there is? I now come to that on which they dwell. " The Lucau-Cardigan scandal still remains undiminished in real gravity." I say it does to this hour, and has been evidenced before you to-day, in Lord Lucau's own state ment. " They are both brave men, th ey h ave both some military Bella and aspirations, and u se d as i nstruments by a firm, vigorous, and competent command er , whose will they respected and feared, romething might have b ee n. niede of them." I ask, arhethee that is not lite!elly and strictly true? Who would have dared to have written to a commander of firm will a letter which, on his own state meet, on the mediation of Lord De Ros ho was obliged to L withdraw ? And yet, not taking a lesson front that, he wrote an insubordinate letter in reference to the despatch of Lord Raglan. The article wont on, " Not being so com manded, all their natural and acquired vices and defects had full play, and have introduced into the military history of the country an episode of the most discreditable descrip tion, which is not to be shuffled out of because the Board of General Officers happens to have hit on the true cause why supplies could not be conveyed from Balakleva to the front." Their "natural vices and defects" are not private vices, but the defects of an uncontrolled temper. They wore men spoiled by the luxuries el home, and too impatient of control to enter upon a campaign. Lord Cardigan had too much sense to bring an action ; but what other parties are implicated ? for you must take the whole of it. The historian is writing on a subject of paramount importance to us all, from the Queen on the throne to the poorest me chanic, it is a matter affecting our army, effecting our position at home and abroad; and surely the journalist has a right te comment on a matter which was a scandal and a disgrace to the discipline of the Briti s h army. We re quire no justification for this. My friend, Sir F. Thesi ger, says there is no authority to control the press. Thank God there is not. Yon aro the censors of the press by the constitution of this - country, and if you say that this ar ticle is not a fair comment on a public event of paramount importance I shall be indeed surprised. It is owing to the courage of the press that this system of mismanagement in the army has been brought before the nation and the coun try. Early in the var, when our soldiers were perishing from want, the Times had the courage to probe the evil. It is only by the fearless discharge of *sae duties, pro tected by you, that these evils can bo remedied. Sir F. Thesiger cannot pretend to say that there is ono line in the article that points to Lord Lucan's private character. I ask you whether Lord Lucan, who in the box to-day has been obliged to admit that these unseemly differences went on till Lord Raglan felt bound to interfere, has a right to complain that this article is anything more than a com ment on the conduct of a pu bli c man And so far from being liable to damages, I say it is an honour that we here a-free and independent press, and Tam confident that the;r 'be Tefended by a jury %Mite disfilviikeserthetr Tho Chief Baron then summed up. He said the decla ration set forth a portion of a paragraph in the _Daily News which had reference to other matters besides what Lord Lucan complained of, but at tho close of it remarks were made concerning Lord Lucan, of which he complain. ed. The defendants pleaded that they were not guilty of what was imputed to them. The paper was put in, and on that point there could be no doubt their verdict, must be for the plaintiff. There was no doubt that the defendants did publish that which was complained of. Mr. James—We deny that it was a libel. The Chief Baron said the plea was not guilty, and it did not appear to him that that would be able to qualify hie remarks, because all along it was admitted that the com ments of the article were disparaging. The second plea said " the matter complained of was an article in a news paper, ".'rich article seas a fair and lame fide comment ee the several matters and premises t'‘cr >in contaieed and re ferred to, and of the conduct of the plaintiff as essence nder in the declaration mentioned, and wore printed and pub lished by tho defendants as and for such comment and without any malicious motive." About 13 years ago, a few months before ho had the honour of a seat on the bench, an act of Parliament passed by which alterations were made in the law in respect to actions of libel ; and it was remarkable that this was the first time he had been called upon since he had the honour of a seat on the bench to direct the attention of a jury to the alterations then made, and to ste to what he conceived to be the law as it was now to be administered under the common law and under this act of Parliament. By that act an article in a public news paper was put upon a different footing from other commu nications, from a placard or a bill posted about the streets or a pamphlet published, but not forming part of a series of a periodical. It said that in an action for libel cone tained in any public newspaper or other periodical it should be lawful for the defendant to plead that such libel was inserted without actual malice. Before, if any man published of another, in any way, matter derogatory to his fair character, that tended to bring him into contempt and odium, that person whose reputation was attacked had a right to bring an action. The law presumed there was malice, and the party charged with the libel was bound to justify it. Ho might haze remark that, with regard to mere abuse—not pointing to any particular act, but mere vague abuse, as speaking of a statesman that he was the most ineilcient person that ever held the reins of government, or of any public man that he was more corrupt than the Most corrupt statesman that ever lived, or to speak of a judge generally that he was not en lightened or not sufficiently learned, or that he had not sufficient impartiality—all that mere abase it was very difficult to justify ; and it had been very long the practixe, he believed, of all lawyers to disadvise proceedings for mere abuse. But, on the other hand, when there was charge distinctly pointing to some matter, and bringing forward that matter as aground for imputation, some times persons might just as well let the matter alone. Ge nerally speaking, the statesmen of this country rarely ap pealed either to the criminal or civil courts, whatever might be the nature of the imputations upon them. But the state of the law was so far altered that in an action for libel against a newspaper malice was not to be presumed. The defendant might plead that it was done without ma lice ; and it was for the jury to say, with reference to the circumstances—and among others, the character of the libel was, no doubt, a very material thing—whether the publication was malicious or not. If the publication was malicious, then this clause applied very little, and the matter was much as it was before the act passed ; but if it were Rot malicious, then parties were allowed to pay into court what they thought sufficient damages. That being the state of the law, they would have to say whether they thought the publication wad one which reflected upon Lord Lucan, the plaintiff ; secondly, whether the publication had a malicious object; and thirdly, whether the article was what the plea alleged to be— a fair and bona fide comment upon the several ereatters and premises therein contained and referred to. If they thought it was a fair and bona fide comment, then it could hardly be considered to be malicious, and the defendants would be entitled to a verdict on that plea. If they thought it was not a fair comment, but an exaggerated, distorted, a'd outragaseas view of tLe matter, then they have to say whether it was malicious. It appeared to heal that the act of raelia moot meant to maize a large and broad distinction between a case wherein apublication, not justified as a fair comment, was still without malice. Having explained to them the nature of the law, ho thought it right to read to them the libel, and the whole of it, with very few comments. It had already been observed upon by the learned counsel, and his duty in presenting it to them was to take care that it was brought under their attention free from any prejudice on the one aide or the other. The libel consisted of an entire column and about half a column more—that was, one fourth of a column at the commencement and a quarter at the conclusion. That which related to . Lord Lucan was entirely founded on the second paragraph. The learned counsel for the plaintiff told them that that part of the article was probably written by a different hand, and that an opportunity was taken by some personal enemy of Lord Lucan's to tack a paragraph to the other, which was no doubt a comment of what lately had been given to the world as part of the public events of the day—via.; the report of the board of general officers that sat at Chelsea. That there was reason to believe that that was the fact— Mr. James—There is no proof of that at all. Not atittle. The Chief Baron said he did not think he should be so irregular as to reply to an interruption which was rather insubordinate ; but he was about to ask them whether there was any proof of that? If, from the article itself, they came to the conclusion that the entire paragraph was framed with a view to put in this matter regarding Lord Lncan, that, no doubt, would lead them to a very different conclusion. It was for them to decide. There was no direct evidence on the subject. He need hardly remind them that the war broke out in 1854, and that the Christmas of that year was one of great suffering. Inquiries took place in the following year, and again this year. There was an inquiry by commissioners in the Crimea; it was. thought that their report should be re-examined, and a board of general offi cers was appointed, and the general comments of this article were directed to it. It seemed to quarrel with the conduct of the administration, and it particularly pointed to some conduct of persons connected with the Treasury; then it proceeded to blame the conduct of Lord Raglan as commander-in-chief ; and, lastly, it commented on the conduct of the generals commanding the cavalry. The learned Chief Baron proceeded to read the article (which has already been given). That was the article complained of, and it would be for the jury to decide whether they thought it was a fair, candid, and calm series of observations on the matters to which it re ferred, or whether it exhibited an exaggerated or distorted view of what it professed to treat upon, beyond what was warranted by the circumstances. In giving public corn . malts upon public matters, considerable allowances must undoubtedly be made for the zeal and spirit with which persons who wrote for the public papers, or anywhere else, were embued ; like the speeches of counsel, their com ments were not always to be measured and weighed by the nicest scale. What they had to consider here was, whether this article contained anything more than a candid and fair comment called for by the circumstances, or whether it was exaggerated and distorted, and went beyond what the occasion demanded. If they thought it unfair and ex aggerated, then they would have to consider whether it was malicious or not. The observations made upon Lord Lucan had no doubt reference to him in his profevional character as a general commanding a cavalry division what they—aupposing they decided that those observations went beyond what might be considered a fair comment upon public matters--would have then to consider was, whether they evinced a malicious intention, and apportion (Fran?, the Daily News) The verdict in the case " Lucan v. the Daily News," though gratifying on public grounds, is not, in so far as we are personally concerned, of a nature to excite any undue elation in our minds. Conscious that our motives had been such as we had no reason to be ashamed of, and that our con duct had been above suspicion, we never for a moment doubted what the result of the trial would be. We abstained from commenting upon the conduct of Lord Lucan in the Crimea until the Chelsea board bad concluded its inquiries. Even then we only adverted to his lordship for the pur pose of illustrating the necessity of Briny reform. When his law agents intimated to us that our remarks were regarded by his lordship as a libel, we placed our columns at his disposal to correct any errors we might have fallen into in regard to facts, and volunteered a declaration that if our langnage could be shown to have been unduly strong we should regret it. We were met by a haughty demand for an apology, and au uncour teous refusal to specify which of our remarks were complained of. N o alternative was left us but to assert our right to canvass the public conduct of a public man in a fair spirit, by giving Lori Lucan to understand that we had no fear for that appeal to a court of law with which ho three tened u.s. After he had thus forced 1.13 . into court, our conduct continued to be animated by the same spieit of loyalty and frankness. We did not rest satisfied with a more negative plea of not guilty; we offered to prove our allegations to an extent which one of the judgcsdeclared to be tantamount to uteleetaking to prove what was net required at our hands; and, when the proposed plea was disallowed, we went to trial upon the simple issue that our remarks wore a fair and bona fide comment on the conduct of Lord Lucan in his • e ublic capacity as Commander of the Cavalry in the Crimea. Matters ste nding thus, wo relied with implicit confidence on the sagacity and sense of justice of an English Judge and Jury. We felt confident that, whatever might be the legal result of the case, it would be obvious to the world that we had spoken earnestly, honestly, and with out malice—and we cared for nothing more. The event has justified our confidence. The pro ceedings iu court speak for themselves It would be ingratitude en our part not to acknowledge the bold ness, energy, and ability with which our cause was advocated by Mr. James. Still we cannot but feel that it was mainly the evidence of Lord Lucan him self that convinced both Judge and Juryof the re( ii tude of onr conduct. And wo may add that the ingenious speech of Sir Frederic Thesigor is; a cor roboration of this view. The learned counsel had little more to urge than imaginary descriptions of the manner in which newspaper leaders are pre-. pared, and conjectures as -to what would be the course of the Daily News in the event of a verdict against it. This hypothetical line of argument was necessa rily a failure. The result for the Daily Netts was never for a moment doubtful. The sole interest of the case sprung from its involving a decision ode the great question whether journalists—and other nu( %cial critics of public man—might safely canvass the conduct of public servants, provided they did so honestly and without malice. The result of yesterday's proceedings in the Court of Exchequer is to affirm this important privilege of Englishmen. We institute no parallel between our own case and that of Horne Tooke and his associates. They were called upon to display a courage and devotion for which in our case there was no need. And yet we may be allowed to say that for the general public our triumph is a more important one than theirs. Their triumph merely proved that courage may commandsuccess even at times when law and justice are set at nought ; ours, that law and justice are now so thoroughly established that every honest man may do with safety what they did at the peril of their lives. It is impossible to read the report of yesterday's trial without feeling that the right of free, bold, discussion has become an article of the national faith—at all events on this side of the Tweed. The candour and impartiality with which the Judge summed up, and the promptitude with which the Jury returned their verdict, prove that henceforth every writer and speaker on matsers of public interest is free to speak his mind, provided he do so honestly and without malice. No one can reflect on the quiet, unexaggerated tone of the proceedings without feeling convinced that they were pervaded by perfect impartiality—that the same Judge and Jury who exonerated us, would have condemned us without hesitation had there been a shadow of reason for believing that we had acted from improper motives. Such a calm, Judi cial recognition of an important principle is not liable to fluctuation or change ; it is a guarantee alike for the rights of the public servant and of his critics. And here let us—in justice to Lord Lucan and ourselves—declare, that by putting himself in the witness-tiox, and by his frank acknowledgment of the authorship of his letters, he met us like a man. Towards Lord Lucan personally we have never entertained any sentiments of hostility. We have canvassed freely his conduct as an officer — we have never attacked him as a man. The re forms which are being inaugurated in the army, in consequence mainly of the discussions to which his conduct gave rise, may, we trust, be regarded as a pledge that there is little danger that such conduct will again call for animadversion from a public journalist; and we should never have reverted to the consideration of that conduct, had lie nor, by dragging us into a Court of Lew, compelled us to do so. That his unwise attack has placed our in tegrity and leniency in a clearer point of view than it could otherwise have been placed in, we cannot but feel ; mid feeling this, it will be Lord Lucau's own fault if we have ever again to talk of him in terms that may be offensive to his self-love. (Prom, the Times. ) The action for libel brought by the Earl of Lucan against our contemporary, the Daily News, has ended in a verdict for the defendant. We need not say that such a result is, in our opinion, most satisfactory. Not only the press, but the country in general, has reason to rejoice that the jury which was empannelled yesterday in the Exchequer had the good sense and the good feeling to defeat an attempt to punish a journal on so frivolous a charge. The article which was the subject of this abortive action was written soon after the report of the Chelsea Board of Officers was given to the world, and merely expressed with regard to that document the opinions which, we will be bold to say, were held by nine-tenths of the thinking men in the united kingdom. Lord Lucan had been, from the beginning of the war, mixed up with the affairs of the army ; he had been concerned in the calami tous charge at Balaklawa ; he had quarrelled with the Commander of the _Forces, with one of his own Generals of Brigade, a.ild with one, if not more, of the Colonels under him ; he had been recalled from the Crimea, he had been reflected on by the Commissioners, he had written letter after letter to,thelnewspapers, he ha d. kept the Chelsea Com• mission engaged on his case for a most inor dinate length of time, and very strong opinions had been prom f)unced on his capacity and temper by all sorts of people during the whole of these proceedin gs. He had more over, to the scandal clf a large body of his countrymen, received an accession of military rank, the Order of the Bath, and the command of a distinguished regiment. if these things are not sufficient to constitute a pu;v) lie mau, then there never was yet such a charact, r in England, and the criticisms on a Cabinet's po .6cy must be held to be an unwarrantable interferem 10 with the reputa tion of private individuals. As f, er the terms of the alleged libel, it is plain that O. tete is nothing in them of which Lord Lucan cowl d fairly complain. If, in a time of war and dis aster, it be not competent for a public paper tog ive an opinion ou paper. Phis action is probably the ierninatioa of the long contruvorey which has occupied the ccuetry for the lest two years, end may he briefly described 03 the contest Letereen the - fees: and the military mica We ail knew hew it heeen with the letters of our ceerespondents in the East at the time when the British forces, after gainingon hrilliaet victory, felt the first chill of causing ini sforr titles. It has eon tiuued since that time with tittle in! ermission. There have been questions of perhaps deeper political interest, and on which party spirit has been more thoroughly roused, but never has there been in our time a discussion in which private and family feelings have been more enlisted, and in which such bitterness and rancour has followed criticism, which was necessarily bold and unsparing. Few families of any slauding are without a relative or a connexion who has chosen the profession of arms as a career, of whose credit they are jealous, a n d whose advancement they would make many sacri fices to promote. It follows that the military must have, in a high degree, the sympathies of the most I important class in our society. Against the men who made, who directed, and who represented the military system the press made unrelenting war. Accustomed to observe keenly and to judge accurately, it saw the rottenness of the edifice, and, even before it crumbled to the earth, gave warning of the coming destruction. Of the truth of the rjpertj published in the chief newspapers, of the justice of their views, and of the invalaahte services which they have rendered to the country, both during the war and during the difficult negotiations which have succeeded it, there is now but one opinion. Any one who contrasts the position of England now with what it was two yearn since, will at once acknow ledge the benefits which the independence and courage of the English papers have conferred on the community which they claire to represent. But sympathy is not always concurrent upon con \ iction, and many who aro enable to charge the press with any offence, who, indeed, in their secret hearts acknowledge its services, have been still ready to see any obstacle cast in its way, and loss or dishonour inflicted on those connected with it. Happily fer England and the principles, she repro seats, any such feeling can never be widespread or of long duration. Even at a time when cliques and coteries were denouncing us, misrepresenting our motives, and making even Parliament resound with their passionate declamations, the great body of the people trusted and stood by us. Every succeeding month has added to the credit due to the course we then took ; and events which are actually occurring fully prove that the present is no time to discourage such vigilant national organs as the London journals. A proof of this state of feeling is afforded by the verdict of which we speak. There can he no doubt that Lord Lucan was induced to bring his action through a belief that the press did not truly repre sent public opinion, and that the great mass of society were unconvinced, though silent, listeners to its statements. Without doubt he found plenty to tell him that a special jury would be only too glad to give a blow to a Liberal news pap -r, that, pa pie were coming round to the be lief that. the Crimean generals had done their best, and that the acqaittal of the Onelsea Board would he held by any judge as taking away all just ground for ad verse criticism. The result shows *low much he was mistaken. The case went to the jury in the simplest form. Lord Lucan was placed iu the witness-box, and confessed that he had been re called in coesequence of a highly improper letter to Lord Raglan. The jury found that the de fendants were justified in publishing the article, and that it was a fair comment on the acts of the plaintiff. We shall probably hear so more of such proceed. ings. Tee present verdict is a sign that juries clearly see that the interests of the press are also their own, and gives assurance that the press, when firmly doing its duty, in spite of threats and temptations, will be upheli by them. As the whole of this Crimean business now belongs to the domain of history we need say nothing more as to the merits of the particular case, but we may, at the close of so long a controversy, remind the pub lic at how great a sacrifice the press has fought the battle against incapacity and oligarchical influ ence. Does the world think that there are not many inducements to "prophesy smooth things ?" Do they think it a pleasant position for a man to have his hand against every one and every one's hand against him ? If we or our contemporaries could hats truly described Lord Raglan as an. other Wellington or Lord Lucan as another Hill, it would have been most agreeable to do so. If it had been consistent with honesty to suppress all that was unfavourable in the accounts from the East there would have been none of these daily and nightly invectives against " publicity " and " anonymous writing." We would request the public to believe that in Oct., 1854, there was every temptation to pronounce our generals heroes and our army perfect. Society was all that way, the national vanity was all that way, the fear of hastily uttering discouraging predictions tended to the same course. What could the press hope for during many months but to be charged with slander and misrepresentation ? Yet it did its duty boldly and uncompromisingly, and we believe it has its reward in greater authority and more general respect than at any former period. It is very well for Sir F. Thesiger to insinuate that the censure upon Lord Lucan was the result of private malice. Such suggestions are only part of an advocate s business, and are always made with that recklessness which is one of the most ungrace-` fill traditions of the bar. But we may take the opportunity that his address offers, and ask in what case, during these long discussions, false 'charges have been brought forward, such as.anger or prejudice would produce? With all the bitterness of the military oligarchy and their friends, with all their determination to crush the press, they have been unable to bring a single charge of libel, except that a teiloes deputy was &geed, and the trumpery affair winch was disposed of yesterday. So far „from the press being guilty of making un suppeorted assertions, we are even now surprised at the small amount of inacCuracy which has found its way into newspaper ;so/limns. However a no apologies are needed for a course which has at length received the almost uuanhasous approbation of the country. The verdi ct in tlaa caso triect yes : terday will, we trust, put a n end tee. the hopes ot those false friends and ever t enemies, bee at home far and and abroad, who l ook with nature. dislike on the courag e and freedom of the Fu , lash press. SOUTHAMPTON ELECTION. SOUTHAMPTON, WSDNESDAY. Mr. Edwin James was the favouriteof the Londcn can didates for this borough. He was first also in the field. Mr. Wegueltn, however, considered that he had such a powerful party of liberals in Southampton, who had pro mised him their supp yrt, that he declined to give way to Mr. James. Fur the latter to have any chance, there fore, it was necessary that he should personally canvass the electors. His profession, however, required so much of his time that this was impossible. His friends here, seeing the hopelessness of contending with the activity of Mr. VVeguelin and Sir E. Butler, gave up the task in despair. The bad feelings engendered by the split t e g decided ue. pre vented them from uniti n g their forces with Mr. W bn to fight the cons ervative candidate, and he on bringing forward another liberal. Their choice fell upon Mr. R. Andrews, the radical coachmaker, and may or of the borough. Mr. Andrews resolved at once to come forward, provided a numerously signed requisition by the electors was presented to him. As he is the returning officer, he will be oblig ed to resi gn the office of mayor, and pay a heavy fi ne, before he c an he elected member of Parliament. He has pledged himself that if he be comes a candidate he will go to the poll, and poll the last man. He is a liberal with very advanced opinions, and a most energetic man. About 1,000 electors have been added to the register isince the last election. THE LATE SUICIDE IN H I G HGATE CEMETERY.—Yester day Sergeant Farr, of the I division, succeeded in tracing the relatives of the yo ung man w ho put a period to his existence in Highgate Cemetery, as already recorded in The Sun. It aears that he was the son of a g entleman named Fenoulet, pp residing at 4, Kilmarton-terrace, Hol loway. Henri Fenoulet was in his 30th year, and by pro fession a surgeon-dentist. He left his home, 4, is /C.!lma h y ton-terrace on th e morning of the occurrence, in usual apparent health and suirits, and nothing more was heard or seen of him until the police acquainted his frinis wih the affair. N satisfactory explauation can be e offered t for the terminati o on of deceased's e xistence by his own hand. (From th,e New York Herald. N0v15.) Thursday was an exciting day amongst the scientific of our State. Tne Submarine Nautilue was put through its operations at Glen Cove, and submitted to the rigid - scrutiny of men whose verdict, either of appeoval-or other wise, must be final. The company formed to work this invention Lad chartered The steamship Champion, and invited the press and Limey of the leading celebrities of our State to aerarnd excursion, for tee purpose of brineing the machine before the public. S'arting from the Peek elip Ferry at 11 a.m., Glen Cove was reached, after a beautiful sail, about noon. In mid-stream we found a large schooner at anchor, with steam engine on deck, and on meorieg near her we learnt this apparatus was used for forcieg compressed air into the receiver which sup plies the Nautilus. At a few yards from the schooner we oeserved floating, like a huge p rpeise in the water, the Nawilue. Pim Ntutiluf in external form is alrnest round, or, as Senator flew e ply termed it, " a water bel Ion." It is about ten feet in slam er, by seven feet deep, and weigb3 tan tens. A peculiarity, as c) ri pare 1 with the old fashioned diving-bell, is that it enters from the top ; a species of irou trap door screws down when all are in, arid when the marAne is at the boAom, another and larger door opens in the ba'e, so as to proceed with the corks requ red. C-ndensed air is produced on board a vessel or on laud, and is communicated to the Natitiaii by an iusmrn sly p )wertul hose f ruled of thick India rubber, stron,, , enough to witustaud a pressure of 200 lbs. to die square inch ; this is affixed to the top of the machine, and communicated by valves inside to the working and water chamber?. After entering and clos ing the top of the machine water valves are opened, which cause the Nautilus to sink ; air is taken into tle working chamber until its density is equal to that of the water without ; the door of the boteeen is then raised in order to m eve upon the ground. Toe operators step upon the bo-toin and carry the machine wit i them, or in current way cables passing from windlasses inside effect the desired movement. To lilt stone, a hook placed on the bottom is affixed to the stone, condensed air is then thrown into the water chambers, and the water is expelled until the weight of the stone is overcome. It is then moved in any direction, and by the re-admission of water, is again deposited. In one of the experiments we saw performed, a stone weighing five tons was lifted, moved horizontally between 20 and 30 feet, and then deposited. The time occupied in going under the water, bringing the stone to the surface (22 feet), then moving, going down and depositing, returning again to the sur face, was only 9? , , minutes. Tee Nautilus will lay 3,500 cubic feet of stone per diem, at a cost of 35 dole., being less, according to the opinion of engineers, than • the cost of the same work on terra firma. The average cost of submarine construction is 164 cents the cubic toot, whilst with the Nautilus as demonstrated it is but one cent. All other works are in like proportion, the blasting of rocks may be done by it as cheaply as in a quarry. Its adaptability to the examination of ships' bottoms, to determine the necessity of docking, according to the opinion of Capt. Coi - nstock, of the Baltic, will effect the saving of hundreds of thousands of dollars annually . Its utility in pearl, coral, and sponge fishing was re markably demonstrated. A gentleman largely engaged in pearl operations in the Pacific observed that there was no limit to its value for that purpose. Pearl shells may be gathered by it at the rate of from two to three tons per day to each machine ; this has been proved by ao tual experiment in Panama and California ; shells, ac cording to prices current, are worth from 150 dole. to 600 dole. a ton. With regard to lifting submerged ves sels, the capacity of the pump demonstrates that the largest clays of snips can be raised within three hours of er attachment is made. Ili order to test the " feeling in the Nautilus, 160 per. sons went down yesterday, of 'ghoul 40 were ladies. W is e ourselves entered the trap set f or us witheerg ns of m giving, and soon found ourselves one of 12 f ind down,i vi e ua l an giving, and being ladies. The ir on door was screwed immediately on descending a noise like the near letting off of gentile dinned our ears ; but this very unpleasant sensation was r,sl:eved by going tt.rough the operation of We s down before we knew it, and the engineer lifted the door of the boi,tom and disclosed to Us about six inches of muddy water. When we had gratified our curiosity duriug seine five minutes, and ob tained a number of shells as relics, the door was replaced, and we shot up to the surface, the observation being ma de by one of the ladies that she could stay down all day. Everybody was more than satisfied, though few understood the rationale of the invention or the peculi arities of its construction as compared with the diving bell. The Champion left Glen Cove on her return about five o'clock, and on getting under way, a meeting was orga eised eti deck, when Major Scare could not help saying a few words to them in reference to the Nautilus, on which they had been experimenting. The inventors had expended much time and large HUMS of money in bring ing he machine to its present perfection. Immense and unknown difficulties were met with at every step. The first apparatus that we coustruced could move up and down linifn, ei the water, forbuta thats soon a was as we g all :wezt say could not get it to heavy body to the surface, down it went from us. These diffi gulties were also attended with danger, the Nautilus having been shut up out of the water, at the outset, four feetfrom the surface, and all thought that those inside the machine were done for except the inventor, who knew f they were safe, if they only had the proper amount f air and compressed air with then.
