prove this assertion to be true. 1t failed in the
attempt to prove Mr.. Bourcicault liar and

Mr.. Dourcicault would have received certainly
ten thousand dollars for copies Of his play. The
Times endeavored 20 damage him to this ex-
tent pecuniarily, to say nothing of the " da-
mage" to his feelings, upon which, according to
law the jury may fix value. The conclusion
is evident that Mr.. Bourcicsult must be indem-
nifed in as large sum as that which the Ba-
roness de Berg is to receive.
The Times, short time since. made severe
personal remarks upon nine or ten gentlemen,

true. good, and holy and we select few pro-
minent personalities. Mr.. Chief Engineer Car
son has been libelled, accused of theft, and per-
sonally insulted, when he asked the ruler of the
Tri5une.ites for justice. After full and pa
tient investigation he has been declared guilt
less. He has commenced suit against the
Tribune; and, judging by the rule in our case,
he should receive OF least twenty thousand
dollars. The Tribune has been unsparing
Of the Common Council. The IriJune's voca-
bulary of vituperation has been exhausted in
its remarks upon their personal and official
characters Many of them are men we'll knowa
in the neutrality-suspicious. men and mer-
chants; their characters are certainly Of as
much and more consequence than that Of an
unsuccessful opera manager. They are going
out of Office, and the Tribune must prepare
itself for series of attacks upon its treasury.
Its price will need be more than three cents
after series Of intelligent jurics shall have
given series of ten thousand dollars damages
against it.
We have but partially performed our labor
of love. Justice is an expensive article, as the
Times and the Tribune will ascertain. We
sum up the causes and damages as far as we
have gone, giving . table of the suits and
