oiect that We stated few weeks since
that an attempt had been made To re-
move the collector Of the port of Prnyi-
de"ce, Walter X Danlorth, Esq, aud that
IN consequence of being defeated, that
considerable trouble was manifested in
the " camp" which it was altogether pro-
bable would end in a division of the Van
Buren, party. The circumstances con-
nected with this transaction, we are told,
created considerable excitement at Prov
idence. 1t appears that series of law
suits are ikey to grow up ou: of these
troubles. The following is "a report Of
one OF the cases, which VIC copy from the
Providence Daily Journal. 'Thc circuit
Of the United States, Judge Story, of the
Supreme court, and Judge PrMAN, of
the District court, presiding. closed their
November term about seven O'Clock, on
Saturday evening. During the week Sc
veral cases were tried, which excited con-
siderable interest and able opinions
we're given by the court in cases which
had been before argued. The cnse Of
Burrors .aborn vs.. JMassa Bassett, for a
libel, was, by far, of the most command
ing interest. The trial commenced on
Thursday, and was not concluded until
eleven O'Clock on Saturday morning, and
during its whole progress the Court
House was filed to overAowing. The
action was prosecuted by the plairtiff to
recover damages of the defendant for the
publication of false and scandalous libel
against him, formerly nautical COM
mander and merchant Of this city. The
libel was contained IN two affidavits ,mada
voluntarily by the defendant, Bassett, the
first for the purpose of obtaining the re-
moval Of the collector Of this pori, Walter
r Dan(orth, Esq, and the other given for
the purpose of explaining the first, in
which the defendant charged the plaintiff
with intemperance. The publication was
fully proved, and in fact admitted by the
defendant, who sought to Justify it, by
attempting to prove the truth Of The charge
in which however, he completed, failed.
The cause was conducted with gr, at a.
bility, on the part of the plaintiff by mrssrs
Atwell and Ames, and the delrnce BY
Messrs Whipple and Pratt, and was sub
mitied to the Jury by mr. Justice Story, in
an eloquent and forcible charge, in which
he gaven luminous exhibition of the law
OF libel, applicable to the case, and a ca n
did and impartial review of the testimony.
The Jury retired, and in about an hour
and half returned into court with the
following verdict
The Jury find that the defendant is
guilty in manner and form set forth in
the plaintiffs declaration, and without
the cause in the defendants special plea
alleged, and assess damages for the
plaintiff in the sum Of $780,
