In our issue of the 9th May, under the head OF
Restaurants" we inadvertently inserted an adver-
tisement of restaurant at No. 90 Nassau street. which,
from ocular evidence, proves to be q malicious and
ridiculous libel. The party who inserted it was I'M
known to us but from information obtained is second
hand dealer in old furniture in the Sixth avenue, and
having left bis country reand for his countrys good,
Tow swindes this country at large, trusting to the
laxity of our laws OF and tuum. He takes this
method of annoying his prosecutors and We caution
the pubic to beware of this Law-less scoundrel.
DID NOT MEET THERE.-Mr. John McDonough
wishes lis to state that "so far as he is aware none
of the persons engaged in the late fight met at or WIS.,
tied "a resort corner of Broadway and Lispenard
street, kept by man named McDonough." Mr.. j.
Med AYERS that he keep, respectable establishment,
and thai his patrons stand high as regards morals
the patrons OF any similar establishment in the
city" We give him the benefit of his explanation,
although, nothing said against the character of
his place its visitors, do not see why he should
insist on cobtradctipg what was never asserted.
