LAW OF LIBEL AND DEFAMATION. A highly intelligent friend, whose re flective mind lias lieen turned to the de fects in our law of libel, has drawn our attention to the following, from the re port of the Committee of the English House of Lords, on the Law of Libel, of which Lord Campbell, on laying it on the table of the House, gave a succinct summary. —Albany Argus. With a view to afford protection to fair fame, to guard honorable men from vexatious litigation, and effectually to put down traffic in calumny, the com mittee have come to the following reso lutions, viz: 1. That an act for defamation should be maintainable for any words spoken without just cause, tending to in jure the reputation of another— i. c. words impu ting want of chastity to a woman, or want of courage or veracity to a man. 2. That in an action for words, unless the words impute an indictable offence, it shall be open to the jury, under the plea of not guilty or non damuificatus, to consider whether, under the circum stances when the words were spoken, they were likely to injure reputation ; and if they think that they were not, to find a verdict for the defendant, without any special justification. 3. That in an action for defamation, whether spoken or written, the veritus convicii shall not be an absolute defence; but that the defendant, where he justifies specially on the record, in addition to the truffi of the imputation, shall be obliged to allege that it was for the benefit of the community that the words should be spo ken, or the alleged libel written and pub lished ; and that unless the whole plea of justification is made out to the satisfac tion of the jury there shall be a verdict for the plaintiff. 4. That in all actions for defamation it shall be lawful for the defendant (giv ing due notice to the plaintiff of his in tention of doing so) to give in evidence, in mitigation of damages, that he made or offered an apology before the bringing: of the action ; or if the action is brought before there has been opportunity for making or offering such apology, as soon as possible after bringingsuch an action. 5. That where an action is brought for libel in any public newspaper, it shall be competent to the defendant to plead that the said libel was inserted in the said newspaper without malice and without gross negligence, and that before action brought, or as soon as it was reasonably possible, he inserted in the said newspa per a full apology for the said libel; and that he shall be at liberty to pay into court a sum of money, by way of amends, for the injury sustained by the publica tion of said libel; that if the plaintiff is contented therewith, he may take the same out of court with his costs incurred to that time, and if the plaintiff is not contented therewith he may proceed in the action, and the jury shall consider whether the allegations in the said plea are made out to their satisfaction, and the said sum is sufficient by way of a mends as aforesaid, in which case they shall find a verdict for the plaintiff, with such further sum by way of damages as they shall think he ought to recover. 6. That to any indictment or informa tion'for a private libel, it shall be lawful for the defendant to plead that the impu tation contained in the alleged libel is true, and that it was for the benefit of the community that the said alleged libel should be published, the prosecutor be ing permitted to traverse the whole of the said plea, or only the truth of the said imputation, or that the said publication was for the benefit of the community ; and that at the trial of such indictment or information the defendant shall be ac quitted or convicted according to the opinion of the jury on the issue so joined. 7. That in an indictment or informa tion for private libel it shall be compe tent to the prosecutor to allege that the defendant unlawfully, maliciously, and knowing the said libel to be false, and having previously attempted to extort money from the prosecutor by a threat to publish a libel against the prosecutor, or some of his family, kindred, or connex ions, published the libel set out in the indictment or information; and that the defendant, being convicted in such in dictment or information, shall be liable to fine and imprisonment not exceeding three years, and to be sentenced to hard labor. 8. That in an indictment or informa tion for private libel, it shall be compe tent for the prosecutor to allege that the defendant unlawfully, maliciously, and knowing the said libel to lie false, pub lished the said libel; and that the defend ant, being[ convicted on such indictment or information, shall be liable to fine or imprisonment not exceeding two years^ 9. That in an indictment or informa tion for private libel it shall be compe tent to the prosecutor to allege that the defendant unlawfully, and maliciously published the said libel; and that the de fendant, being convicted on such indict ment or information, shall be liable to fine or imprisonment not exceeding one year. 10. That no action, indictment, or in formation shall be maintainable for a faithful report of any proceeding of courts of Justice, or before magistrates acting in the discharge of their duty, or of any proceedings in either House of Parlia ment at which strangers have been per mitted to be present, provided that such proceedings are not of such a nature that a report thereof would be contrary to good manners. 11. That it be declared that, upon the trial of an indictment or information for libel, it shall be competent for the defend ant against whom a presumptive case of publication by an agent has been, to prove as an answer, that the act of pub lication was contrary to his orders, and under circumstances where it was im possible he should have been acquainted with the contents of the libeL 12. That in private prosecutions for libel, if there be a verdict and judgment for the defendant, the defendant shall l>e entitled to recoVer costs from the prose cutor, to be taxed by the proper officer of the Court. 13. That pending the trials of indict men*s or informations it shall be lawful fairly to publish the proceedings on the said trials from time to time before the conclusion thereof. 14. That the security given at the stamp-office by the proprietors and prin ters of newspapers shall extend to dam ages and costs in actions for libel against them. THE MACKENZIE SWORD. The following is a description of the Sword presented to Commander Mack kenzieby the citizens of Philadelphia as a testimony of their decided approbation of his conduct in regard to the Somers mutiny. The United States Gazette, from which we copy this notice, says— With commendable taste the commit tee to whom this duty of procuring the testimonial was assigned, directed that it should be made strictly in accordance with the rules of the Navy service, and the result is a sword combining richness of material and workmanship with sim plicity of appearance, and though very beautiful to the eye, yet so strictly within the ‘regulations’ that it may be worn on duty. The blade of the sword is elegantly' damascened, and the grip of the hilt is of carved ivory mounted with gold, the hand-guard passing into the beak of an eagle beautifully modelled, the eyes being formed of diamonds. The cross-guard falls on both sides of the scabbard or rises with a spring, and on the outside portion in basso-relievo is the oak leaf and acorn, exquisitely finished, and on the inside portion the following inscription : Presented by Citizens of Philadelphia, TO Commander Alexander Slidell Mackenzie , of the United States Army, 1313. All the mountings are of gold and dis play in basso-reli wo either the “foul anchor” or the “oak leaf and acorn.” THE KENTUCKY AFFAIR. We published yesterday two contradicto ry paragraphs about the rencontre be tween 0. M. Clay and S. M. Brown, in which the latter was cut up with a bowie knife. The quarrel grew out of the old feud between the Clay and Wicklifie families—each of which aspires to rule the State of Kentucky, and this it is which has given so much importance to the affair. The original statement was that the lie passed between the parties, and then Mr. Clay drew his bowie knife and cut Mr. Brown, who afterwards got a pistol and fired it at his enemy'. Mr. C. published a card, in which he avers there was a conspiracy to assaesinate him—that Brown rushed at him, and he struck him with his whip and was then separated to some distance from Brown by the crowd —that lie then saw Brown aiming stead ily at him with a six barrell pistol, which he fired, the ball lodging in his knife scabbard. That he then rushed on him with his bowie knife. On his side Brown has replied with a card, in which the original statement is re asserted, and the certificates of many gentlemen who witnessed the affair are given, all declaring that Brown was cut with the bowie knife before he used the pistol, which was handed to him by a person present, and at the time he fired, iiis face was covered with blood. It was a heastly affair at any rate.— Charleston Mercury. THE ELEPHANT’S AT BRISTOL FERRY. A correspondent of the New Haven Herald at Bristol, 11. L, gives the follow ing description of the crossing of the Ferry by the elephants of Messrs. Ray mond & Go’s. Menagerie. The letter is dated July 30. Raymond it Co’s Menagarie, headed by the celebrated Lion tamer, Herr Dri esbach, had been to Fall River to exhibit for the benefit of the sufferers, and was about to come to Bristol for the same pur pose, but before they con and do that, and in order to save <;oing much out of the way by land, were obliged to cross the Ferry from the opposite side, which is a good mile over. Ferry boats being on hand for the purpose of conveying the elephants and the rest of the troops across, they began to embark, but lo and behold, when it came to the turn of their Ele phantships to do so, three out of the four indignantly refused to obey. One, how ever, lieing on board,and all being ready, the boat put otf, when unceremoniously the other three, without blowing their noses or even taking otf their clothes, gallantly plunged head and ears into the water,carrying in majestic grandeur their elegant and useful trunks open u pon their backs—in spite of the custom house officers, who stood by ready to inspect them and to search for smuggled goods —and in a few moments swam to the Bristol shore, amid the deafening cheers of the astonished and gaping multitude. Huriab ! the girls —hurrah! said the boys, Hurrah! said the men on the shore j Who ever did see big Elephants three Curry trunks oe’r the water before ! TURNING SMOKE INTO GOLD. The following anecdote is related of Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Eliza beth. One day Sir Walter was conver sing with the Queen on the singular properties of Tobacco: ‘1 can assure your Majesty,’ said he, ‘that 1 have so well experienced the na ture of it, that 1 can exactly tell even the weight of the smoke in any quantity I consume.’ ‘I doubt it much, Sir Walter,’ replied Elizabeth, thinking only of the impracti cability of weighing smoke in a balance, and will wager you twenty angels that 1 you do not solve nay doubt,’ A quantity was agreed upon to he tho roughly smoked. Carefully preserving the ashes, Raleigh weighed these with great exactness, and what was deficient in the original weight he gave as the result. ‘Your Majesty,’ said he, ‘cannot deny that the difference hath been evaporated in smoke.’ ‘Truly I cannot,’ answered the Queen. Then turning to those around her, who had been amused by Raleigh’s calcula tions, she continued, in allusion to the alchemists, then numerous—“ Many la borers in the fire have I heard of who turned their gold into smoke, but Ra leigh is the first who has turned smoke into gold.’ ADVERTISEMENTS.

These Pills have long been known and appreciated, for their extraordinary and immediate powe.s of re storing perfect health to persons suffering under nearly every kiud of disease to which the human frame is liable. They are particularly recommended to all those persons who are afflicted with any kind of Chronic or Lingering Complaint , as there is no medicine before the public whicu lias so natural and happy effect up on the system in correcting the stomach ad liver, and to the formation of healthy chyle and thereby purifying the blood. They are acknowledged by the hundreds and thousands who are using them, to be not only the most mild and pleasant in their operation, but the most perfectly innocent, safe and efficient medicine ever otlered to the public. Those who once make a trial of these Pills, never afterward feel willing to be without them, and call again and again for more; which is sufficient proof of their good qualities. HEAD A CUE—SICK OH NERVOUS. Those who have suffered ad are weary of suffer ing with this distressing complaint, will find Spencer'a Vegetable Pills a remedy at once certain aud immedi ate in ns effects. One single dose of the Pills taken soon as the headache is leit coming on, will cure it in one half hour entirely. Asa remedy in Summer and Bowel Complaints, they display their wonderful powers to admiratio-’, and are lar superior to any tiling in use lor these complaints. In Dyspepsia and Liver Complaiut, they stand un rivalled. Many have been cured in a few weeks, after having guilered under the dreudlul complaint for years. In Habitual Costivcness, they are decidedly supe rior to any Vegetable Pill ever brought before the public.; and one 25 cent box will establish their sur prising vittues, and place them beyond the icach of doubt in the estimation of every individual. They are invaluable in nervous and hypochondria cal affections, luas of appetite, and all complaints to which females alone are subject. They are mild in their action, and convey almost immediate conviction of their utility from the first dose. They may be taken by persons of any age; and the feeble, the infirm, the nervous and delicate are strengthened by their operation, because they clear the system of had humors, quiet nervous irri tability, and invariably produce sound health. Upwards of Three Hundred and Seventy Thous and boxes of these inestimable Pills have been sold within the last twelve months in three States alone, and more than three times die same quantity in oth er States. As an Anti-Billious Medicine, no family should be without them. A single trial of them is more satis factory than a thousand certificates. CER 7 IFICA TES. [The following' is from Mr. Isaac M. I homas, Mer chant, at Talladega Springs, Alabama.] Talladega Springs, Talladega Cos. Ala. ) August 17,1342. ) This is to certify, that I have been afflicted with Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, and Liver Complaint, and Costiveness for the last eight or nine years, du ring which time I had taken, as well as 1 recollect, about sixty boxes of Beckwith’s Pills, twelve boxes of Peters’ Pills, and a number of boxes of Champion's and Brandreth’s Pills, all of which afforded me but little or no relief. At last, 1 was recommended to try Dr. Speucer’s Vegetable Pills, and well 1 dial; for Inever had but one attack of the Sick Headache af ter I commenced taking the Pills, (now about six months) and 1 candidly confess, that 1 have derived more real benefit from the use of .Spencer’s Pills, than from all the other Medicines and Pills that I have ever taken, and I would earnestly recommend them to all, as being in my opinion, the best medi cine in use for all lingering complaints. The Pills have done me so much good, that 1 would not feel willing to be vithout them for five dollars a box; and 1 cannot but feel very grateful to Dr. Spencer for having prepared such a valuable medicine, and the dtstrdmtion of it is conferring a very ere at favor on the public, as it is a thing of the utmost importance that every family should have a supply of Dr. Spen cer's truly valuable Pills constantly on hand. ISAAC 51. THOMAS. [From Mr. Adam Riser, a popular Merchant in Talla dega County, Alabama.} Riser’s Store, Talladega Cos., Ala. ) August 16, 1842. > This is to certify, that I have used Dr. Spencer’s Vegetable Pills itt my family for the last six months, and I consider them the best Ptl's 1 ever used. 1 was appointed an agent for the sale of them about six months ago, at which time the travelling agent left me about one hundred boxes, and 1 ha*’e sold out every box long since, and could have sold as many more if they had been left I think every family should keep a supp y always on hand. 1 have never sold any Pills in my stotc that have been liked so well as Speucer’s Vegetable Pills. ADAM RISER. [From a very respectable Planter in Washington County, Alabama.] Washington Cos., Ala., March 8, 1813. To Dr. Spencer t Dear Sir — l have used your Vegetable Pills in my family the last year with great success,aud I consid er them the best Pill I ever used. I have made con sidetable use of many other popular Pills, but 1 am convinced that yours are superior to any of them. For Sick Headache, they are an excellent medicine. For Bowel Complaint, I think them the best medi cine in he world, and also for the Bloody telux. I can say to you that I made great use of them last season. I had twenty of my blacks sick with the Flux, and 1 administered your Pills freely, and 1 did not loose a single case. My neighbors speak in the highest terms of them. Respectfully yours, JESSE JORDAN. lIMPORTANT CAUTION] A PROCLAMATION. To the Citizens a f Georgia: WHEREAS, for several years past, the good Peo ple of this S ate have been gr.‘atlv, and very seri ously imposed upon in times of suffering and sick ness, hy being obliged to pay the enormous price of One Dollar and Pifly Cents for a Box of PILLS , or a Bottle of MIXTURE, to cure CHILLS AND PE 1 EltS, and other distressing complaints : Now, therefore, know ye, that an effectual means . f reli. f have been discovered in DR. HULL’S VEGET ABLE FEVER and AGUE , and ANTI-FEVER PILLS; which are offered by the Proprietors and their Agents at the low price of only One Dollar per Box —from 25 to 50 per cent, cheaper than the Majori ty of all other medicines for the cute of such com plaints; and as to the comparative safety with which they can be taken, together with the simplicity of their componendparts (which are entirely vegetable) and the real value of Hull’s Pdls, as adapted to the wants of the community, there can be no longer the least doubt of their great superiority over all other medicines, not only in their superior properties in the safe and speedy cure of Chills and Fevers, but also as a remedy in Fevers of every description. It is particularly worthy of remark, that out of up wards of Twenty Thousand Boxes of these Pills sold in Alabama alone, within the bust twelve mont'is, not a single rase has come to the knowledge of the pro prietors, where they have faih and to cure the Chills and Fevers, when they have been used ai cording to the directions accompanying them. And I csides these pills arc no “ qnaek medicine;" they are the scientific preparation of experi -need medical men, who, after having prepared this important recipe, most positively declared that from all the discoveries up to the present time, in medical science, they saw noway by which they could possibly be improved, or made in any way more effectual n the cure of those complaints for which they are recommended: so that the lianpy combination of the ingredients and their pro portions are such as to produce a medicine which never tails to relieve when relief is a' all attainable. Upwards of one thousand certifica'cs might here he added, of important cures effected hy this medicine; hut it is not necessary to publish them, as a single trial of the Pills is more satisfactorv evidence than a volume of printed tesiimonia's. We would, howev er, refer the reader to some eight or ten thousand fatnilies in this State, who it is thought have experi enced their efficacy, and who would bear ample tes timony of their unrivalled virtues.
