THE PROSECUTION OF GENERAL NELSON
AND LIEUTENANT BRAND.

At Bow-street, yesterday, after our report left,
Mr. Stephen applied for a farther remand, which was
aoce.led to.

Mr. Briatowe suggested that what originally fell from
Sir Thomas Henry would probably rule his mind now, that
there really could be no reason why Lieutenant Brand
should not be liberated on his own recognisance&
Sir Thomas Henry Puked if there was any reason why
bail should not be given ?
Mr. Brinowe said only that there seemed to have been
some insinuation that he had been hiding.
Sir Thomas Henry said that there was no such insinua-
tion, and it only showed the danger of commenting upon
what one had not heard.
The former boil was then renewed.

THE LAW or LIDEL.—The following is the
arrangement of the clauses of the biU to amend the law of
libel, and thereby to secure more effectually the liberty of
the press, prepared and brought iwo the House of
Commons by Sir Colman O'Loghlen and Mr. Haines :
No proprietor of a newspaper or periodical publication
shall be liable to an action or prosecution for a faithful
report of a spie' at a public meeting, unless he shall de-
elute to publish, if required, an explanation or contradic-
tion of the statements complained of. A speaker at a
public meeting shall be liable to be sued and prosecuted
for defamatory matter spoken by him at such meet-
ing, as if he had written and published the same.
The privilege of parliament or other public bodies
shall not be affected by this act. In actions
for libel the defendant shall be at liberty to
pay money into court in discharger f the action. When
the sum paid into court is not accepted by the plaintiff in
discharge of his action, the defendant may require the
plaintiff to give security for coats. When the damages in
an action of libel do not exceed fivs pounds, the plaintiff shall
not get more costs than damages. Without the sanction
of the law officer of the crown, no private prosecutor shall
be at liberty to prefer an indictment for any libel other
than a libel published with intent to extort. The defen-
dant on the trial of an in or information for libel
may offer himself as a witness, and so may the defendant's
wife or husband. The truth of a libel may be pleaded is
a abort form. When so pleaded the plaintiff may get •
bill of particulars of what is intended to be relied upon by
the defendant. The act is not to extend to Scotland.

CoNYEAIIoN AND AIMOLUTION.—Tho following—
according to the monthly paper of the Protestant Allianoe—
is a copy of a printed paper issued from one of the churches
in London :—" Saint Alban the Martyr, Hulhorn.—A
priest will attend in the sacristy to hear confessional at
the following times :—Wednesday : 10 a.m. to 12.30, 2.30
to 7.4. i, and after evening service ; for any who may desire
it. Friday :2to 6 p.m. ; for women only. Saturday :
10 a.m. to 12.30, for any one ; 2.30 to 6 p.m., for men
only ; 6to 7.45, for girls only ; after evening service, for
any one. Those waiting for confession are requested to
take their places in the side seats of the north aisle, as
near the chancel aisle as possible, but not in the aisle
itself. Those at the back will fill up the places in front of
them as they are vacated, but are earnestly desired not to
come into the sacristy out of their turn. Having made
their confession, they will return into the nave of the
church for private prayer. If any cannot possibly come
at these times, they should speak to one of Inc clergy, but
all are especially entreated to conform to them, if possible."
