The above, Comet, are only samples

my observation as follows: A young

daughter. The old man said No."

LAW OF LlBEL.-In late case against

the Judge, Mr.. Justice Coleridge. laid
down tho law as follows:
In discussing the public conduct of

tainly use the most unceremonious
freedom, and juries should not b. nice
in criticising the language in which
the ceusure might be conveyed, if they
could see that motive and spirit Of the
whole were public and honest. On
the other hand, no newspaper was JUST.
fed in commenting upon the private
life eveniof a public man ; but the pre-.
sent appeared to be an intermediate
case. The plaintiff filed a public
situation, but it could be hardly,
said that the paragraph was merely
comment upon bis conduct as alder
man, neither did it relate to a strictly
private matter. The most objection
able paragraph appeared to him to be
that which imputed to the plaintiff con.
fused notions on the important mat
ters meum and tuum," but the jury
must look at the whole, and say whet-
her in their opinion it exceeded the
bonds Of fair comment upon the con.
duct Of a person filling tho position
which the plaintiff filled.
The jury found a verdict for the de-
PENDANT result which appears to have
given satisfaction to the audience, since
it was followed by some applause"

DECIDEDLY THE BEST WAY YEr.-lf
there is any better way to learn Ian
guages than that recently invented BY
Professor Brette Of New Orleans. it
should be made known immediately
and tho author receive . medal from
the Academy Of useful Sciences and
Inventions. The Professor has lady
teachers into whose hands tho scholar
10 placed, and they promenade the
Hall. in which nothing but French is
allowed to be spoken. French. Ital-
ian, German. Crock and Latin. may
be learned without master. We
ore much in favor of this system Of
Brette's; and think If = man cannot
learn the French, by looking into a
pair Of eloquent, instructive and mel
dugly interesting blue eyes, then he
ought to live. die, and be -- saved
in English. Should much prefer to
write mistrssses Of languages, than
masters.
