The 69J Regiment receives, 1 very unexpected route
this morning. to march fr m Templemore to Limerick.
Three companies were in consequence dispatched im-
mediately. The head-quarters follow on the 30. h, and
the remainder c f the regiment mai ch on the following
day. We understand that O'Connell travels down
from Dublin to-morrow (Sunday), and that be has
written to every Priest in each large town to give him
a mass as he poses through, which he mil attend, but
he is to be received in state, and drawn by the populace
thrc ugh Itoscrea and Nenagh.
ENNIS, Jima 28.

The approach of the election is bringing nearly all
the nobility and gentry into this town. Their object is
to be on the spot to counteract, if possible, the exer-
tions of the Roman Catholic priests, and the agitators,
in their attempts to seduce the tenantry from their alle-
giance to their landlords. The popularity of Mr. Fitz-
gerald may be inferred from the fact that, with very
few exceptioos, the landlords, Catholic as well as Pro-
testant, are in that Gentleman's favour. Lord South-
who'is a Roman Catholic Peer, has issued direc-
tions to the agents t f nis estates in this country to me
for the Right Honourable President against the" Great
Agitator."
Among the Noblemen and Gentlemen nowhere, and
actively engaged among their tenants canvassing per-
sonally for Mr. Fitzgerald, are—Lord Gort, who came
expressly from Dublin, Sir Edward O'Brien, late Mem-
ber for the county, and• o hose son is now Member: also
General Sir Augustine Fitzgerald, Sir Hugh Dillon
Massey, the Right Hon. John Ormsby Vandeleur, and
others of equal respectability.
As greet danger is apprehended from the turbulence
of the peasantry in tl•e .progress of the election, the
Inspector-General of the l' •lice of the province has
w•isvly taken the precaution to guard against the dan-
ger. Orders have been issued to the constabulary to
march into the town to preserve the peace. • Upwards
of two hundred have already arrived, and as many
more are expected, and will, I fear, be wanted. But for
this timely step.it was ihe determination of some of the
most respectable inhabitants of the town, and of several
shopkeepers al•o, to leave the place during the con-
tinuance of the election. You can have no idea of the
state of Maim into which "corning events" hive already
cast es. No doubt the causes of that alarm will not sub-
side while the election is in progress.
Perhaps an instaoce which occurred yesterday will
best to int out the nature of this alarm. Already have
the two candidates. Mi.Etzge rald and Mr. O'Connell,
taken their committee•roorus—that of the latter is
decorated with a profusion of placards of the most
iufammat•wy native. At a late nour yesterday sifter-
noon an immense assemblage of the mob collected
in front of
.the committee-room of Mr. Ve►ey Fitz
gerald, and after a continuance for some time of
the. most insulting shouts and opprobrious epithets
applied to the Right Hot . Gen; lentan, in conjunction
with, as they were tee med, thy Orange colleague.,
Wellington and Peel," they acre proceeding, it was
thought, app.tently to the demolition of the house, as
was the case in a similar affray during the last Galway
election, when tie timely appearance of a party of the
constabulary, under arms, prevented the anticipated
cam age.
The agitators, meanwhile, are not remiss in their
'Mots. Mr. Lawless is most indefatigable in his exer-
tion-, and he is very ably seconded by Mr. O'Gor-
man Mahon : t ey have, during the past week,
visited seedy all the difte rent petits of tie county,
and everywhere. at the sugge t.u4 of the Priests,
who, with about three exceptions, have volunteered
themselves in Mi. O'Connell's favour. Meetings have
been held of the people, and these Gentlemen have de-
livered harangues on the necessity of coming forward
now or never for their religion. &c.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BF.NrH, irLy I.
HARK ITT V. THWAITFS
This was an action against the Proprietor rf the
Morning Herold for a libel published in that• Pater.
Sir J. Sommer'. stated the case. The plaintiff, an
rttorney, hi-ought this action fora libel. '1 here were a
variety of means by which the Editor of a Newspaper
could indulge a malignity of feeling, and yet lease to
.I,s Counsel plau ible grounds for a defence. t
ii-e of ambiguous law' tge, it might he said that a
p ra raph was innoxii.us and meant nothing, which, in
'e li y, c •iis eyed serious information. For ;twiner,
might be stated in a newspaper that a man was
'sr minus or celebrated. Al man might be tele-
ora ed for virtue or vise; butt it t word .4 celebrated"
s coupled with some expression %biota would lea • tsi
the conclusion that the person al'uded to had conducted
liiiirse f improperly in his profession of an attorney,
these could be no doubt that the word was used with a
.nalicinus motive. Some time ago the plaintiff hi onght an
action again -t .his nes. spar.ei, and recovered 10(1. da-
mage., whet!) dad not seem s-a etc-v. any kindly 'eel-
ings on vie part oI t le detendai t At!houlth the defer.
(ant had always been in the habit cf inserting in his
'riper the proceedings of tleConr ts or law, he suppressed
• e csse against I self,. thereby proving that is con- .
ra.ned something like an impeachment against him.—
A person had been in the service of Mr. Harnett as
a clerk, and left him under very suspicious circum
tatters; but some time after he • summoned Mr.
Harnett to the Court of Requetr for 13s. The trial of
this cause bet seen the clerk and Mr. Harnett was re-
ported in the Morning Herold, and all through Mr.
Harnett was designated " the celebrat •cl actor nes."—
The Learned C tinsel contended, that by this epithet it
was intended to hold up the plaintiff to ridicule ai.d
contempt, and that it called upon the %hilt to mark
their disapprobation of such a line of conduct on the
part of a newspaper Editor, by awarding damages.
The libel published in the Morning Herald, of the
10th of August, was then put in and read.
Mr. Guanax said. the question the Jury had to try
was, whether this was a libel? His Learned Friend
(Sir J. Scarlett) had laboured hard to prove that it was.
but for himself he thought it was only necessary to read
it ; it required no elaborate argument to prove that it
was not a libel. It was true that the plaintiff had brought
an action for a libel against :/he Morning Herold before,
and recovered 1001. damages, and n r doubt under such
circumstances, he would have no objection to bring an
action every week of his life. But even if he did not get
damages, should there be a verdict in his firour, he
would get his own costs. It there was only a fat thing da-
mages,Harnett would get his costs. Under those circum•
stances he called upon the Jury to return a verdict 'or the
defendant. There was no imputation that the report
was unfair. and the action was brought not because the
plaintiff conceived his character was injured, but be-
cause he hoped to get his costs, and to get notorir ty as
an attorney. This acti-n was the consequence of the
plaintiff's having recovered on a former occasion, and
if he was encouraged now he would bring actions can,.
qantly. On the whole, the alleged libel contained s.o
imputation on any man's character. It was peifertiy
harmless, and he called on the Jury t r show their dis-
approbation of such an action by returning a verChct
for the defendant. •

Lord TENTERDEN left it t b the Jury whether the pub.
lication WAS intended to convey the impu,ation ti at
Harnett had acquited notoriety by imp:oper coud,.tt
in his profession.
Without leaving the box, the Jury retuned a vei d ict
for the defendant.
