ACTION Wilt LIBEL AGAINST • NewsPerge.—On
Wednesday morning the case of Racierlan r. Craig
came before the Lord Chief Justice, and • special
jury in the Court of Queen's Bench. The plaintiff lan
been for some time carrying on business at the Lsug-
bourne Chambers, Feneliureh-street, as an East Indian
merchant, and the defendant is the proprietor of •
publication called the Werkly htietligelsrer, which
purports to give information concerning the repute
and character of persons engaged in commereial tran-
sactions in the eity. The petintill hail formerly been
in business in Scotland, but owing to shipping disas-
ters was compelled to become bankrupt in Is6o, fail-
ug fur some El S,noOlor £20,000.1% took offices in Lon-
don in 11464. His business was carried on almost en-
tirely on credit; it was • smallbuguess and must cau-
tiously conducted. He had transactions with respect-
able firms in the city, in Yorkshire, and Glasgow.
His profits in 1867-68 exceeded his losses. On the
Bth of April for the present year there appeared the
following announcement in the front page of the do-
fondant's publication :—"Partienlars of information
concerning the following persons are on hand, and

according to the learned couneel, was either fictitious
or belonged to the swindling class's of society, with
the exception id that of the plaintiff, which stood No.
4on the list. The result of this announcement was
that the plaintiff found himself socially and commer-
cially ostracized, and was compelled in consequence,
in October, to enter into a composition with his
creditors of 5o in the pound, payable in twelve
months. The defendant had refused to apologise for
what he had done. Verdict for the plaintiff, damages

TICIMIBLE COLLISION NEAR RAN PRANCTSCM—A
Philadelphia correspondent, writing on the 15th inst.,
gives details of the terrible accident near Han Fran-
eiwo, news of whirl, arrived by telegraph a few days
since. He soy.: Early yeeterlay morning a train
from San Francisco was going eastward along the
"West. re Pacific Railway," end at San Leandro WU
to have reseed another, known as the "Alameda
Ferry Train," which coming along a connecting rail-
way, would at that place get on the main line and go
to &n Francisco. Each train wes going at the rate
of twenty miles an hour. The morning was so fuggy
that the engine driver could see but a short distance
ahead. At the junction of the two roads the switch-
tender gave the wrong signal; the trains rushed to.
gether.; the engines and cars were smashed to atoms,
and of the people on board ten to fifteen are reported
killed, and thirty to fifty injured. Among the dead
I are the United States' histriet Judge of Nevada, and
the United States' District Attorney of the same
I State is seriously injured. Such a illitaster, happening
I on Sunday morning, so near Han Francisco, naturally
' caused mueli excitement there. The clergy read tele-
grams from the scene of the accident from their pul-
pits, and the friends and relatives of the wounded and
dead hastended to aid them. The dimaster showed the
usual form of an American railway collision; the
long care were driven into one another like the parts
of a telescope, huge splinters killing and maiming the
passengers, who were all mashed up together, while
the piles of rubbish rendered it almost impossible to
rimetio them. One man, whose legs were crushed he-
r Leath heavy beams, had to have both legs cut off be-
I fore he could be drawn out. A few hours before this
, calamity happened, another Pacific Railway train had
met with a disaster at Des Moines, in the state of
lowa. It had traversed the Pacific Railway, and was
bound sue over an lowa Railway, and while standing
for a few moments on • side track at Des lfoiass was
run into by a woods train, The "sleeping ear was
broken to pieces, and 15 or 10 of the primers Is
)I:trod, though, according to the telegrams, "no one
was killed outright." The eoesta7 it thsaktat svea
