libel published two years ago. against the former by
the latter in tho Evening Post, comes on next week
in the Superior Court II has been delayed by various
causes for two years past but the leeoioco edl-
tor will be brought to his pins.
The libel consisted in publishing that the Morris
Canal Company had hired, or brbed, or bought Mr..
Murray to resign his seat director of the board,
in order to make room for John Haggerty and sundry
other persons, who about that period elected to
superntend the affairs of the company. The essence
of the charge was, that Mr.. Murray had received
stock at less than market value order to make him
give way to the introduction of other individuals In
the declaration made by Jesse Oakley Esq, the
counsel of Legget the justification is recited at large
thus involving all the directors in the charge.
II happens, however that if the receipt of Morris Ca
nal stock was case of bribery and corruption, Mr..
Murray was the only person connected with the nsti
tuition acho did not recsrs his share Of the spoils.
The trails expected to bring out several very anus
ing and interesting facts connected with the Morris
Canal Co. and its several directors We do not be-
lieve that there any bribery or corruption in the
affair. Similar :" fair business transactions" have
been performed in Wall street for the last six years.
and no one ever dreamed of any improperly in
them, till the locofocos smelt out their wckedness.
lion the trial any amusing disclosure should be
made Of John Hasgerty, and the other directors at
that tme we shall take defend our friend John
from all HARM but all the others raus shift for them
selves. 1t is said that John o. intends to refund us
the $780, which his amiabe disposition caused us TO be
find, partly bya Judge who, in his private capacity
helped to save murderer from the galows, and in
his public capacity is riding the poor wings to des
truction. The evidence this trial will reveal also
other curious matters connected with the recent
financering movements in Wall street.
One word more and have done. When John Hag
gerty made speech against oath, he said hey was
director of any bank-nor held any stock in any
such institution. How dses he explain the appearance
of his at full length, but without the big 0, as
a director of the Morris Canal in the defence set up
by Jesse Oakley for VIM. Legger? We must have
this mystery unraveled, and 1t will be next week on
the approaching trial. Apropos- Has John Haggerty
discontinued his suit against me- which he also stated
On oath he would do {?
A PRESENT OF FLowERs-Some unknown fair
,ne has sent me most splendid boquet, containing
wenty varieties ofower such could only be collect

creation. 1t was enclosed in band box, with the bot
ON covered with moss, and few stray flowers, like |
,squettes, pinned around the sides.
How shall return my thanks 10 the fair donor |
Who is she? How provoking it is to be tantalized
day after day, with beautiful notes. elegant presents
charming boquets, flowers, grapes, &C., from fair
ones know net and probably never shall know, till
we meet in tho kingdom OF heaven Well, better late
than never

and has been engaged in the most difficult branches
of the die sinking in the Paris mint and has also ope

The armorial bearing Of Frederick Wilhelm III.

sherzos ron Nederrten is surprisingly beautiful in
every respect.
The seal Of the Farmers and Planters bank of Bal
timore is no less beautifully cut. The horses par
ticular are more graceful and prominent than any
Thing before attempted
Perhaps the gem of those specimens that have
come under our inspection, is the seal of the Virginia
Iron Mining Mems company. Ii gives whole scene
"a figure and landscape TO great extent-The mi
nutia Of which is, for a seal, incredibly perfect.
