Yesterday a meeting of the Shareholders of the Cas-
tello and Espirito Santo Brazil Mining Association was

affairs. The Report recommending its dissolution hay-
ing been read, a Resolution to carry the recommenda-

The law of libel wants radical alteration. No plain.'
tiff should be allowed to bring an action who evaded,
justification. This would be one decided improvement.!
—The other is, not to allow costs when the verdict is
under 101. This would strike at the root of the grow-
ing evil of paltry actions being brought at the instance
of needy pettifoggers, who care not whether their cheat
be right or wrong—whether he be rendered triumphant
by high, or stigmatized by low damages, since they are
sure to have their expinses paid, whatever be the result.
CUARLIS BUONAPART2 (nephew of the late Empe-
ror Napoleon, and eldest son of Lucien Buonaparte)
recently arrived in this country from New York, pre-
sented himself before the proper authorities on Friday
last, for the purpose of conforming with the regulations
of the Alien Act. On calling at the office, he deliver-
ed his card to the person in attendance—Charles Buo-
naparte, Prince of Monsignano, Holding's Hotel, Da
ver Street. He is a very interesting and gentlemanly
young man, 23 years of age, dark hair, dark and pene-
truing eyes, with a very fine intelligent countenance,
stout in person, in stature about five feet seven inches,
elan elegant and easy deportment, and without the
least tincture of affectation; is perfectly affable and
communicative in conversation. He is perfect master of
the English language, which he speaks fluently, and ap.
pears to give it the preference, as when addressed in
any other, be answered in English ; this, however, he
might have deemed (on the occasion) a point of etiquette.
He was dressed in a blue frock coat. fancy vest, dark
trousers, and boots, and unattended. He is stouter than
his uncle Napoleon was in the early part of his life, and
taller, but his countenance bears a very marked resemb-
lance to the portraits of the Ex-Emperor when about 40
years of age, a handsome likeness, but a very striking
due. There are certain questions necessary to be an-
swered by foreigners arriving in this country, amongst
other., whether the party has been in England before ?
On this question being put to the Prince, he answered
he had, but as a prisoner, at least such was the impres-
sion on his mind. This. however, was not the case, his
father Lucien Buonaparte, requested and obtained per.
mission of the British Government to take up his abode
in England, which he did in 1810, and with his family,
resided here for some time, (luting the very zenith of
his brother Napoleon's power. After the Prince's re-
questing, and being presented with, the addrets of the
Netherlands, Austrian, Bavarian, and Sardinian Am-
bassadors, he signed the books at the office, expressing
his intention of quitting England for Ostend, via Dover,
on his way to Italy, where he is going to j in his family.
The following is the description taken in his declaration
at the Alien Office ;-4, Native of Rome, aged 23,
complexion dark, hair dark, eyes dark, height five feet
seven and a half inches, nose Grecian; known to Messrs.
Cropper and Benson, Liverpool.
