In his cross | examination he stated be wrote nautical articles for the Courier and Enquirer; some of these were ruled out in consequence of the press of advertisements, this was the cause of some little controversy.

In his opening remarks he said, that notwithstanding the remarks of a morning paper, still this was a case which he would put gravely to-a jury, and which called for their grave at- tention and consideration. He said the two promment | issues in the case were, first, had Colonel Wetd been in- jured at all; and next, if so, to what extent? He con- tended that the article complained of was not a libel upon Colonel Webb. He here read the pert complained of, and contended that it was not libel. The context of the sentence showed that it was not libel. If you call a man a “thief,” it would be a slander; but if you calla mane * thief, because he stole apples out of my orchard,” then it would not bee slander. Counsel here recapitulated the testimony and commented upon it. He contended that Colonel Webb had got the money as charged, though roof was not given of it; founding his opinions upon t fact of Colonel Webb's application for it. They did not charge corruption in all this. In coming into a Court of Justice, character is spread out before a Court. Tho Co- Jonol declared he was not injured—he said to himself, “1 am the 7¥mes of America, and who could injure me?” The Colonel was not injured, as this was a mere news- paper fight; and the Colonel himself declared he was not ured at In relation to the character of Colonel | ‘ebb, men of high standing swore it was morally bad. | He swore that the attack of the Courier upon him was not true, and ys is no libeller. Mr. W. here read several passages from the Courier, commencing in 1841, in which several attacks were mai upon the cabin in which he'charges them with * bartered prit ciple”—‘‘traitor to personal and political friends,”was the language applied to Mr. Webster. We then come to the article of April, 1843, in which the Ceuw)ier changed its note, and “' greatly rejoiced that Mr. Webster should re- main in the cabinet.” All the ‘ treason,” “ corruption,” &e., which he had before charged against Mr. Webster, he cited, he said, in order to show the easy transit of the C vurier from opposition to advocacy—and prove the ter- iversation that was charged by Dr. Bacon against M: ‘ebster. The appearance of the Courier in anew di in August, 1843, proved a change in the circumstances of the Colonel, and this was proof that the Colonel had got the money somewhere; and it was the duty of Col. Webb to show where and how he got it; but the Colonel did not. Mr. Greeley said that Courier was " unusually given to personalities;” but that between the bat and the good part, he ceuld not say which predominated.

The slight reaction noticed yesterday, and at the opening of the market to-day, is one of those movements generally experienced whe Prices are repidly rising ; but it is usually temporary in its effect. The United States Insurance Company, of Boston, have declared a semi-annual dividend of six per cent, payable on demand. The Erie Railroad Company have called for an instel- ment of¢en dollars per share, payable on or before the 16th inst. When this instalment is paid, there will be twenty dollars per share paid on the new stock of this company. The progress.made by the new board of di- rectors in the construction of this road, and in its Gnan- cial affairs, within the past year, entitles them to a great deal of praise, and the stockholders generally have great confidence in their management. The receipts of the eastern division of the Erie Railroad for the first eight months of the past two fiscal years, have been as annexed New Yorx ‘anv Enre Rartaosp. From freight .. .

The business of this section of the road is rapidly increasing, and the best four menths of the year for business are yet to come,as an immense quantity of market producefis daily brought to this city. The estimated receipts for the year will probably be exceeded. The company have agreed to give every holder of the new stock a free pass for ene ble them to judge, by personal inspection, of the state of the road, and of the progress made in the extension. Tho receipts of all the railroads of the country are in. creasing—some a greater per cent than others—but all are improving in their income, and in their condition ge nerally. The gross income of the Mohawk and Hudson Railroad Company, for the first five months of 1846 and 1846, was as follows: Monawe anp Bean B Rartnoap. 1846. Jenwury 464-. eethee 04,948 73 ebruary.

The aggregate receipts of this road have not been for some years past very large, and it must be many years before a dividend can be expeeted, even in the ovent of this rate of inorease being realized. It has been recommended to holders of bills of the Bank of River Raisin, Michigan. not to submit to any sa- crifice, as thero is every probability that the bank will resume business without essential loss to its creditors. The Attorney General of Michigan has decided that the charter of the bank is not forfeited by making an assign: ment; and the cashier states that satisfactory arrange- ments for the redemption of the bills will be made in three or four weeks, and that even if the charter is for- feited, the billholders will be peid at par in six or eight months. We give these statements for what they are worth ; but it is our impression that it is a werthlecs coa- cern, and ona par with most the banks of Michigan. The system of conducting banks in that State, and the manner in which they are closed, after becoming inflated to an enormous extent, induce those unfortunate enough to hold any of their bills, when an explosion takes place, to get rid of them at the carliest moment, and at what- ever discount may be the current rate. It requirese vast deal of confidence in the honesty of the financiers of Michigan, more than the public generally possess, to induce them to hold a paper issue of any defunot baak, of that State, with the hope that it will ultimately be redeemed at par. The rapid increase in the value and quantity of provi,| sions exported frem this country within the past three years has been astonishing, and gives us hopes that very important trade in these articles will soon be ear. ried on between this and the countries of Europe.
