CARE OF LIBEI,

Thia action. which excited some interest, came on for
tria. this morning. The action was brought for the re-
corety of a couipensation fur the injury which the
plaintiff sustained in consequence of a libel inserted in
The Olaerrer newspaper. of which the defendant is pro-
prietor. The defendant first pleaded Nut mud

he trne. To this a replication was filed, denyine the
truth of the account ; and, upun this point, issue was
joined:

Mr. SC 11IL7TT and Mr. CHITTY condneted the plaits-
tiff's. and Mr. A DOLPH VII and Mr. !Jowl.*Tie the tie-
fantlant's ease.

It appeared in the course of the trial that the libel
was contained in an account Of some proceedings it

bv one Bedford to produce an account of a distress
Which he had levied. Thu account given in The 06-
:PrPer. 'lid in one or two instances vary from the actual
proceedings, and the Chiaf Justice stated to the Jury,
that the plaintiff must recover. The question would be
as to the quantity of darn'tges.
The Jury rettairell tragic to withdraw, and had set
delivered their verdict when we left the Court.

Accounts from Vienna state, that the Spanish
Itioistet there had received from his Government
several couriers extraordinary, with dispatches of
the highest importance. relative to the events in
Andalusia ; that he had communicated their con-
tents to the Prince de Metternich, and had had
with that Minister and several of the Anibasmtdors
a number of couf.•renees.

Their Royal Iliglinesses of Clarence, Sussex, and
Gloucester, were present last evening in the House I,
of Peers, apparelled in the deepest mourning. Thn
first-mentioned Prince sat on the Ministerial Bench,
next to his Grace of Wellington.
Among the distinguished persons of Opposition,
who had come to pay their homage to the memory
of their venerable Sovereign, were the Duke of
Bedford, Earl Grey, the Earl of Lauderdale : and
it was gratifying to see that those who differed in
all points of politics, agreed in one thing—that all
the respect which individualt have it id their
power to bestow, should be paid to him who bad
so long adorned and beautified the kingly office
with " mild wisdom" and undeviating worth.

GLASGOW, FEB. 14.—A few months ago jar-
ring political th,cord ran high amongst us. Our
civil and religious institutions, the peace and welfare of
the kingdom, appeared to to shaken to the very centre.
Now changed was every thing on Friday se'noight. On
that Oreen where lately nothing was to he heartl hot the
dissonance of party brawling', the most unequivocal
loyalty was displayed. About twelve o'clock, the day
was mild stud pleasant, a thin cloud veiled the face of the
sun, and the soft breeze could scarcely curl the Clyde.
Mingling with the thousands that crowded to the Green
to witness the cere sssss nious announcement of our new
sovereign, where the extended line of infantry. flanked
by the Hussars and Yeomanry Cavalry, and surrounded
by an immense square of spectators, presented an impo-
sing spectacle ; hut the unanimous and unbounded shouts
of loyalty and applause which rung in the welkin after
the Proclamation of our new King, and the fee de jae.
appeared as if some guardian angel bast touched all ranks
with the talisman of Union, and induced them to bury
all animosities in the tomb of a lamented Sovereign.—
