COLBURN V. WATTS.

Mr. Sergeant WILDE rose to open this case, which had
excited much interest in the literary and publishing circles of
the metropolis. He stated that this was an action brought
by Mr. Colburn, the eminent bookseller and publisher,
against Mr. Watts, a gentleman well known in the lite-
rary world, in order to vindicate himself from certain
aspersions which had been cast upon him through the me-
dium of a certain publication of the defendant's. Mr.
Colburn had for a considerable period published a monthly
work called the United Service Journal, which had be-
come extremely popular, and enjoyed a very extensive
circulation. In consequence of the popularity and circu-
lation of that work, Mr. Colburn thought it expedient
to publish a weekly paper of a similar nature. This he
bad delayed doing, up to February last.
Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS here interrupted the Learned
Sergeant, by saying that he would take that early oppor-
tunity of making an apology on the part of the defendant
for the mistake he had fallen into; and that he was glad
to say that it had originated entirely under mistaken
notions.

Mr. Sergeant WILDE then said that since his Learned
Friend had expressed the regret felt by the defendant for
the error he had fallen into, and had made so ample an
apology, the plaintiff would be contented with nominal
damages.—An arrangement was then entered into, and
further proceedings were given up.

Buenos Ayres papers, to the 19th March,
have been received. The proposed expedition against the
Indians, and the critical state of affairs in the Oriental
State, continued to occupy the public mind, to the ex-
clusion of every thing else. The Governor of the Pro-
vince of Santa Fe, in answer to the circular of General
Quiroga, stated that the incursions of the Indians of the
north into that province had kept him constantly upon
the alert, but that he was taking measures to resist, and,
he hoped, to exterminate them. He proposed, in case he
was at all successful in his first attempts, to send imme-
diately a portion of his troops to join the grand expedition
against the savages of the south, and, in the mean time,
he was preparing to forward 300 horses for the service of
the expedition. The prepara.ions for the enterprise were
going forward on all sides with great vigour, and it would
seem that operations, though upon a small scale as yet,
have already commenced. Colonel Nirciso del Valle, of
the division of operations of Bahia Blanca, has addressed
an official despatch to the Government, dated Encamp-
ment, Salina Chico, 28th ult., stating that he had at-
tacked a party of Indians, killed 30 01 them, and recap-
tured 3,000 head of cattle. These Indians of the Andes
have long been the pest of the Argentine Republic, and by
their ferocities have already actually depopulated two whole
provinces. The retribution, so long delayed, seems to be
at hand for them.

AN APOSTLE.—QuiN was proud of making
every body in company insensibly drunk. On one occa-
sion there was a parson in company, who, as he had been
told, was more than a match for the hardest bacchanalian ;
QUIN was, therefore, ambitious of conquering the parson.
All the company were soon overcome with wine, and lay
senseless on the floor; Qum was as senseless as the rest, for
he had fallen asleep, but still retained his seat. When he
waked, he looked with triumph on his prostrate com-
panions, and was anxious to find the parson among them,
but in vain ; he, therefore, concluded that the poor man
had been taken ill and carried to bed. " But," said
Quiti, "it was a fine summer morning, and, to my
extreme mortification, I saw the parson, through the
window, bathing his head before a pump, and a shining
steam arising from it, like a glory over the head of an
apostle...-. Taylor's Records.
