Tur Rev. Wexry Warn Bercwer axo Ma. Cusarn—Smatt Porarons.--It appears that the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was a passenger inthe Royal Mail Steamship Asia, whichtrecently arrived at this port, and that during the trip a passage of words occurred between him and Mr. Cunard. "The difficulty grew eut of some misunderstanding in relation to preaching, there having been nine clergymen of different persuasions on board.

Anon Pratt appears as plaintiff against George Wilker, John Thomas, Heary Dexter, and George Dexter. The article published against Mr. Pratt appeared in the Police Gazette, under the editorial supervision of Wilkes, while that paper wes printed, and virtually published, if not owned, in some way or another, by the other parties. The point of law, therefore, ia, whether or not the parties who have been instrumente! in issuing the libellous matter, are liable for the injuries received by the plaintiff. ‘The action has been commenced, doubtless, with a view to reach the actual offenders--the persons witbout whose aid end encouragement the libellous sheet could nothave been published. Wilkes being irresponsible, the pleintiff, naturally enough, seeks to recover from those who have derived profit and advantage from the criminal publication. This, it appears to us, is a very proper mode of proceeding, and well calculated to abridge the li- centioueness of the press. If irresponsible persons, without property or characier, can assail the motives and characters of men with impunity, while indi- viduals in the back ground supply the means for such criminal attacks, it is only just and preper that the latter should be made to pay the penalty for their portion of the acts which disturb the peace and happiness of the community. It may seein to be very hard for an innocent man, who vends news- papers, to be liable for injuries done through the columns of sheets which he is daily issuing ; but it is @ great pretection against lawless publications, got up by bad men, to have the law reach those by whose influence such sheets are really encouraged end sustained. The English law of libel, upoa which our own is very wisely founded, has fre- quently decided that all the parties engaged in is- suing and vending libellous matter arg liable to | penalties. Chitty says, in citing Cuthell’s case, | Erskine’s speeches, and Lovell’s case: “ {tis no ex- | cuse for a printer, or publisher, that he was iguo- rant that he was aflording the means of circulat- and even thovgh he is absent from the office at the time, he will be held criminally lia and he adds, also, “ every copy of a libel sold by a party is a separate publication, and therefore | subjects him to a distinct prosecution.” All this is well for the community. It strikes a blow at those many lawless publications which in- | tliet injuries upon the community, while the au- | thors of the mischief, from their want of visible meane, go “ubwhipped of justice.” Aan editor | becomes powerless, because business men will not | risk the issuing and publishing of offensive matter, unless they heve some positive security that they will be held harmiees. In the present case, George Wilkes, whose history is intimately blended with scvrnlous sheets, sustained by making and carrying on ettacks on private character, is found to be be- yond the arm of the law. therefore, who are responsible men, are discovered and made to answer for his evil deeds. | thing be more proper or just? At the present time, we find Wilkes connneeted with no less than three | of our courts, and about to be tried in another court in Columbia county. 1a the Niles case, re- pedo case he figures as a principal character; and in the libel case, he is (he head and front, for which @ person is a great pest to the community—a severe charge upon the State ; and the sooner the law finds prees in such hands, is to maintain its liberty gene- rally ; and though we may regret the punishment of any one who ia not morally guilty of injuring his fellow-men, yet we cannot deprecate any applica- tion of the law that may abridge the lawless de- famer of character and the shameless contriver of ruin for innocent person: Tuk Crime Exorvern axp vie Common Coun- «it.The joint committees appoiated to iavesti- gate the charges made by the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department against the Common Council, will meet this evening, at seven o’elock, 4 City Hall, for the purpose of proceeding with the business which they have been appointed to per- form.

BSunvay, t. 22-6 P.M During the past week, the stock market has beer more excited than we have noticed at any time with jnthe previous six moutha Prices have rapidly ad~ vaneed, aad the transactions have been exceedingly large. Speovlation has already been carried to acon tiderable extent; outerders have ageiu become fairly imbued with the spirit of the game, and we may look, for an inflation far beyond that elready existing. So far as the actus! value ef certain stocks, which have advanced during the past week several per cent. is con= cerned, we bave at prevent nothing to say. We could only repeat what we bave so frequently stated, and make vain cflorts to stem the current whieh is so strongly setting to a flood. Speculators do not stop to inquire whether any fanoy stock is really worthy what it is selling for, they only want to know if the market velue is iikely to inereaee or not, and govera themselvs accordingly, Al! who involve themselvea in any of them, feel confident they will get out with » handsome profit betore the re-action takes place, ancl they therefore operate fearlessly, and, as they believe, understandingly.

That an important inflation will de realized, we have aot the slightest doubt, and that; the ultimate reeult will be similar to all movements of * similar character, is as certain as the rising of tho: sun, During the past three years pubdile affairs through- jut the world have been in anexoited, unsettled state. For more than two years Europe was coavulsed with revolutions, Everything connected with fiaaucia id commercin! affairs was deranged and prostrated; comfidence destroyed ; the mercantile and mechaniony classes benkrapted, and rain staring every one in the face Alto such a state of things abroad advanced the credit of Amoricam stocks, and induced European cspitalists to invest in them largely, it more than offeet whatever benefits were derived from such investments. by destroying the best markets for our products, amd restricting commercial operations generally. No sooner had the revolutions ia Burope ceased, and things began to assume a better shape, than our own political affairs became agitated, and tho public mind highly excited. For mearly twelve months, we have apparently been on the eve of a re- yolution of « more ible character than those of # European origin—one which would have astonished the universal world, and extinguished forever the light of republicaoism. For nearly twelve months wehave been in daily apprehension of a rupture which would have spread ail the horrors of a civil war broad. east through the iaod, and have annibilated of the most besutiiul political fabrics ever constructed by man. All this is past. In one short week all dan- Ger disappeared. When began to reason toge- ther, excitement subsided, and the seoond sober thought opened 1 yes of all partios, Compromise became the order of the day, and all the difficultiee were amicably adjusted, and the various questions at iasue were arranged iv o epirit of conciliation. There ever has been @ period in the political history of thie eountry, when those vital questions which have so often threatened dis clation—which have been from time totime paiched up and temporarily put to rest— have been fo satisfactorily arranged as during the Prevent session of Congress.
