Booty BROOKS IN TRoUBLE.-Mr. BOBBY
Brooks some time ago made one Of bis charac-
teristic assaults upon the Austrian Consul Gene
raj, very worthy man. For this libel Brooks
has been brought into Court, and takes occasion
to make a pathetic appeal to the public In JUS
tifcation Of the act for which he his now called
upon to answer. This libel upon the Austrian
Consul is, we presume, the twenty-ifth or the
twenty.seventh that has been commenced
against the Express within the past few years,
but the number of libels--chie8y assaults upon
private character-which have been published
by Mr.. BOBBY Brooks within the same time
would be almost "a numerous as the sands on
the sea shore. One of bis libels, uttered last
autumn, about our private affairs, is, we see,
travelling rather extensively over Europe, and,
in one shape or another, has been adopted by
several journals in England and France. Mr..
BOBBY Brooks stated that we had lost eighty
thousand dollars by the recent financial revul-
sion. This ridiculous fabrication was picked up
by some Of the eh,foniers of the foreign press
who hang about the Five Points or some other
points in this city, and write letters for the
English and French journals Here Is one of
the forms in which this lie, originated by Mr..
BOBBY Brooks, appeared in Paris journal.
