and consequently a supporter of those opinions which,
if carried out, must inevitably destroy all the institutions
of the country, and bring ruin uponit..? and he thought
it monstrous that a man having put himself publicly for-
ward as the advocate and supporter of Chartist opinions
should have resorted to an action for libel for strictures
upon that public conduct. The Learned Counsel then
went through the alleged libels, and submitted to the
Jury that there was no pretence for construing them into
an attack upon the private character of the plaintiff;
which would form the real foundation for an action for
libel. All that was intended was to express an abhor-
rence for the principles of the Chartists, and to hold
them up to the contempt and indignation of the public.
Every little inaccuracy on the part of a Newspaper Pro-
prietor, was not to be visited by an action for libel, for if
it were, the, liberty of the press would be completely de-
stroyed. He left the matter with 'confidence in the
hands of the Jury, and said he was sure they would by
their verdict protect the press that had rendered and
continued to render such essential service to all classes
of the community. . 's.

MR. BUCKINGHAM'S NEW WORK.—" The
recent elections have 'furnished abundant materials for
sober reflection to men of all parties ; and Mr. tuck-
ingham, having had an opportunity of seeing the work-
ing of our system, and comparing it with that of Ame-
rica, has given to the world the result of his conclusions,
in an original sketch of an entire new plan of fixing the
qualification, registering the electors, and . taking their
votes, so as to prevent much of the excitement, riot,
fraud, bribery, and corruption of the existing system.
The subject of free trade also is treated theoretically and
practically, with reference to sugar, timber, and corn as
well as to manufactures. It is a small volume, neatly got
up, at a vary moderate price, and, from its high moral
tone and tendency, deserves extensive circulation.!'—
