Libei.-The case OF the people VS.. Mulock, for
wicked and indecent libel, was then called on. The
District Attorney addressed the Court for nearly an
hour in most brilliant and argume NATIVE Speech for
the purpose Of convincing his Honor, the Recorder
Of the truth Of the proposition that the author Of
libel is more deserving Of punishment than the prn
ter hawker Of the offensive matter. In the course
Of his speech, the learned gentleman remarked that
the Lydans used 20 bleed slanderer in the tongue
for the purpose Of going 60 the root Of the evil and
they also punished the listener by notching his ear
The learned counsel admitted that such practice
would be yenient In the present day, especially
in the Of lawyer; but still he thought the pre-
cedent so good that the oender the
should be permitted to escape becauehe had used
his tongue instead Of pen
The arguments on both sides having bees wound
up the Recorder stated that majority of the Court
were of opinion that the fact Of Bartlett ha wing
written the libel at the dictation Of Muock did not
do away with the responsibility. II must there
fore be read TO the jury. rs
Mr.. Brady then raised an objection, which he said
was founded on some variation between the
printed lbeland the Indictment but after some time
had been wasted On this objection, there was found

Marine Court.

Before Judge Shiehelen.
A Delicate Case-DfeaIs vs. Medicine In this case
the plaintiff was young and fair widow lady, named
---, residing in Houston street, and the defen-
dant young son Of Galen, whs had boarded at the
domicile of the widow for nine weeks and some odd
days The dinners, teas and the cham payne suppers
not denied ner yet the sleeping, but then the
ungalant defendant set up, that the plaintiff asked(
his advice on many uncomfortable matters, that he
had felt her pulse sundry times, for her
twice, and bed her more than csnsde ration
Of which delicate attention he thought he ought mot
to pay one cent for the Accommodations he had re.
ceived. New the fair widow thought this doctrine
more unpaatable than even the plaintiffs physic,
and she accordingly took the advice Of brcfless
barrster who boarded with her. and sxed the SON Of
Galen.
The widows counsel urged to the Court that his
client had asked for the advice Of the defen
dant and that il any advice had been TAKEN il must
have been advice gratis and could not be pleaded
bar to her suit. Secondly, that if the defendant
doctor at all, he not under the statute
for he had neither filed copy Of his license with the
clerk OF the county, nor obtained a certificate Of
membc rship from the County Medical Society, all
Of which he bound to do, and prove il ere he
could recover.
To sustain this position the learned ad vocate made
most erudite Grafton to the Court, and wound up
by saying that, IL a man in possession Of the
learning Of Hypocrates the science Of EscuIapius
even knew how to concoct the eliza Vita, NE ought
to charge for advice until he called in regu-
larly; and that though this defendant
skilful as Philictatus, and like him was able
to the wounds caused by the poisoned arrows
Of the Greoians, still he ought not to practice with
out diploma!
This burst Of eloqucnce made the defendants law
yer look like gone goose, and he did not rise to
reply, the Court gave judgment for the fair widow,
who retired arm in with her learned adv ocate.

SHIP BUILDING IN New YoRK.-On Saturday
last visited the different ship yards in the upper
part of the city. In all there five large vessels
on the stocks rapidly progressing. The keel Of an
other is to be laid Immediately, and the tonnage Of
the six win range, each, from three hundred to one
thousand tons.
Morning herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1837-1840, 1839-06-05

Here three thousand and four hundred tons to
be added to our already extensive mercantile marine
in the Of six months, and perhaps five thou
sand. Two Of these ships to be regular packets
between this port and England, and the keel to be
laid is also for European packet The others are
for transient business altogether from this
some southern port, thence to Europe, and In
looking back, il is astonishing the vast number
Of vessels annually built in this city, and no ship
builders in the whole world can compete with us in
point ofstrength, beauty, durability and perfect sym.
metry Of model. Baltimore built vessels have here
tofore been renowned for speed, but the palm now
belongs to the New York packets. Witness the
speed Of the England, Orphens, Independence, Gar
rick-nay, all the packets nothing compete with
them--nothing can beat them. For beauty, the Ro
CHESTER lately launched far exceeds any thing OF the
kind we ever saw, andthe shipwrights up town seem
to improve with every vessel. Where they will stop
il is impossible for US to tell.
There is one Improvement which is very impor
tant and deserves particular noticet is the wind
lass In every ship built anterior the Rochester
the old fashioned windlass is used. BY them it
requires twenty strong men to weigh one anchor,
but by the recent Improvement adopted by Captain
Woodhouse, eight men can, with perfect ease weigh
two large anchors A boy alone turn IL easily,
and half dozen small lads can, with the improve
ment, do as much as eight men would with the old
fashioned wndlass. The invention is very simple
and in Of sickness among the crew. or in gale of
wind, it will be found Of the highest Importance

The Crops-Ts Subscribers and Advertisers.
Some of southern subscribers, in renting us
the cash to pay for their subscriptions frequently
drop line the state Of the crops oftheir section
of the country. This is most admirable practice,
and we hope it may be initiated elsewhere. We re-
quest, therefore, from every part of the country,
accurate information the state and prospects Of
the crops Of cotton, tobacco, rice, corn, wheat &c.
From these data we are enabled to form general

ties prices and stocks-and to furnish the mer-
chant, broker, banker, financer, and all with valu-
able information that win repay them well for the
trouble and expense of taking and reading the Herald
