If the reporters ink proper to come here, they should provide them- selves: it. ‘The py wy meme committee can furnish no memorandum or notes, because their duties will debar hem from that act, if they discharge their duty in the commission ; therefore, those who may be present, and desire to report these proceedings, must rest upon their ewn individual responsibility, and not upon anything that the committee can furnish them.

MEETING OF a nm ‘A meeting of the pavers im the employment of the cor- of this city was held at Montgomery Hall, Frince rircet, at cigitt o'clock last evening. There were about fifty men present. Mr. Patrick Taggart was called te the chair, and Mr. Dennis M’Mahon acted as aecretary. ‘The SxoRETARY read the draft of a petition which he had prepared with the idea, if tbe meeting approved of it, of having it presented to the Common Council. The petition enumerated all the ‘‘striking”’ arguments of high rents, yate of markets, fuel, large families, and so forth, an concluded by requesting of the Council to advance the wages of the men from tweive shillings to two dollars a ‘ity. James Donenty, a boss paver, was present, and said Re was happy to meet the men, with many of whom be had worked for nearly twenty yea! He had attended ‘here to say he would pay the ‘advanced wages sought fer. He bad now plenty of work, and he thought that ‘two dollars a day was small enough compensation for men employed at such work as paving. (Cheers.) ‘The CmarnmAN would call the attention of the meeting to the paper upon the table. He would recommend that it De presented to the City Fathers, and their reply waited for, before further action was taken. Upon motion, a resolution to this effect was passed. ‘The document was then signed by all the men present, end Messrs. McCaffrey, Callaghan, Briggs, Meehan and @eil were appointed @ committee, with power to pro eure the signatures of the remainder of the trade, to prevent the petition, and to call a meeting to hear the yeply, and act as the emergency would then require. ‘A sudecription was made, and the meeting adjourned. & MEETING OFETHE STONESETTERS.

Several persons made a few remarks in relation | te the matter. The final decision of the meeting was, ‘that printed circulars should be distributed among the various bosses of the city, aud that the workmen should reesive an answer in a few days afterwards. They pro pose an advance of two shillings per day, the present being two doilars per diem. The contemplated strike will not take place until June, as the bosses have | a large quantity of work on hand, which will be dnished about that time.

PART SECOND. Before Hon. Judge Bosworth. ACTION FOR LIBEL AGAINST GEORGE WILKES—THE CASE OF THE FAT BOY. ‘Apnn. 29. —Elisha J. Latham es, George Wilkes.—Mr. D, F. Sickles having summed up on the part of the defendant, and Mr, Lincoln for the plaintiff. in The Juige, in charging the jury, said that the law in relation to libel was, that a party may write or pub- fish, of any other person, anything that is true, and if sued for it he may, if he can, establish that it is true, and if he proves it true it is a perfect defence. The law does not allow a man to recover for the publication of the truth. In this ease the article is complained to be libel- lous en the character of the plaintiff. as a physician, It says that he employed by Robinett, (the deceased, ) and that he administered certain medicines to him which caused his death. It cannot be said that the article !m- putes murder to the plaintiff, so that he knew the medi- cines were deleterious, or that they were administered with any but an honest expectation that they would pro- duce a favorable result. If the evidence satisfied the jury that the article is irue, there is an end to the case, and the defendant is entitled to a verdict. They had evi- dence of the state of Robinett’s health at the time the plaintiff was called on to attend him; they bad testimony that within a briet time after the administration of the medicine Robinett died; they had evidence of the descrip- tion of the medicines administered. On the other hand, they had the testimony of several gentlemen of high ‘character, and their opinion in relation to those medicines, which they had administered to others. If they found that the death of Robinett was caused by the administration of the medicine, the defendant was en- titled to a verdict; but if the defendant failed to prove his case, they would find for the plaintiff, The amount of damages rests in the sound discretion of the jury—taking into consideration the position of the party in society. The plaintiff is entitled to recover, if the truth of the | libelis not made out, no matter how much in good faith it was published, or how much the person who wrote it believed it to be true. If they believed the libel to be published with a view to damagg the plaintiff, they were bound to e what is termed smart money; but, on the other hand, if they thought that the party had reason- ble grounds for believing it to be true, and that he pub- lished it for information, without any malicious motive, it was not a case for exemplary damages. The jury, in a few minutes, brought in a verdict for the defendant. {This verdict shows that editors are justified in pub- | lisbing facts as they appear in the proceedings of courts, whether before a coroner's jury or any other tribanal, and it may perhaps tend to check the desire to sue news Fazer proprietors for publications made in good faith, and as articles of news and general information. } William Dunbar vs. Patrick Dujfy.—Action for assault and battery, alleged to have been committed by the de- fendant on the plaintiff, on the 6th of July, 1852, from which he suffered much, and was confined to the house for a considerable time. ‘There was no defence, and the jury rendered a verdiet for the plaintiff —$900 damages.

An infant was picked out of the ruins unharmed, but no motber could be found for it. ‘Those most dangerously injured were conveyed into the unharmed cars, and ren ‘a8 comfortable as possible. With some the struggle between life and death seemed uncertain. In this place was exhibited the kindness of woman’s nature, and the sympathy of many a true heart found expression in timely action. It was the general opinion that from 12 to 15 bodies lay beneath the ruins, though it was impossible to ascer- tain with apy accuracy. Four bodies had been taken out. From £0 to 60 were seriously injured, and some of these cannot recover. The emigrants on the Central road suf- fered the most. Tne news of the collision, which occurred about 10 o'clock, was brought to this city by the locomotive of the emigrant tram. Messengers were de+patched to the city from the depot, and Drs. Yalmerand Clark, and one of the editors of the Tribune, were soon under way. At the Central railroad depot, a locomotive and passenger car were in waiting for them, and by 12 o'clock they had reached the fatal scene. ‘Ihe physicians, with admirable self: possession, proceed- ed immediately to do al! in their power for the groaning sufierers.

It must be borne in mind that each of the tracks which concentrate at this crossing are flasked with water on Doth sides. so that the getting from one place to another is at all points difficult—at some impossible. ‘Lhe ruin of the cars was in itvelf a terrible sight.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. The late shocking catastrophe upon the Michigan Cen- tral Railroad, at the crossing near Chicago, whereby number of lives have been lost, and many persons maim- | ed for life, excites serious inquiry as to the cause which has led to this terrible calamity. From ihe most reliable information yes cecetved, the express train of the Michi- gan Southern road left Chicago at the proper time, and was met by one of the irregular emigrant trains of the Michigan Central line, which is presumed to have been ovt of time, and consequently the immediate cause of the collisio It is, indeed, strange and unaccountable why the con- ductors of the respective trains did not make the dis- covery of their approxitoation in time to avoid the col- lision, as the night was clear and pleasant. That in- quiry, however, must be left, for the present, until the conductors are ready to answer. The collision occurred at a point where the Michigan Central road crosses the track of the Michigan Southern road. Previous to the construction of the Michigan Cen- tral road across the track of the Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana, the latter company entered their for- wal protest against the Michigan Central crossing their road at that point, except by a bridge—a notice of which was duly served upon the proper officers of that company. Regardless, however, of these protests and friendly warnings, the Michigan Central company persisted in constructing and ruuning their road, and the sad con- sequences which were foreshadowed to them by the com- pany whose vested rights were invaded, are now mourn- ully realized.

The southern extremity of New Jersey, whieh runs oat inte the broad Atlantic at Cape May, bas long been a favorite summer resort for the citizens of Philadelphia ang Baltimore, The want of extended accommodations bas prevented many of our eitizens from visiting it, and to obviate this defect a company was organized last year for the construction of very large hotel, called the Mount Vernon, This house is now in sucha state of for- wardness that it will be completed by the opening of the bathing season in July, and bas been leased by Mr. Job Taber, of the American Hotel in this egy, whose tact and experience give every assurance that the Mount Vernon, in sll its appointments, comforts and luxuries, will be equal to any other hotel im the country. The building oceupies four sides of a quadrangle, with a front of over 300 feet, and two wings of over 500 feet, four sto- ries high, and will accommodate over two thousand guests. ‘The dining room will be one of the largest apartments in the world, being over 400 feet long by some 60 in width, All the sleeping rooms are ventilated thoroughly and have French windows, communicating with s magnificent se- ries of verandas over thirteen feet wide. Along these verandas there is a continuous walk nearly two miles in length, such is the great extent of the mansion! The lo- cation of the Mount Vernon is about 150 yards from one of the finest sand beaches in the world, se smooth as a floor and as bard ss marble, unbroken by any ravine or fissure, and poreoning. urf of most luxurious fresh- ness. Bath houses, bath cars, warm salt baths, and everything will be provided for the comfort of visiters. Indaily communication with this city and Philadelphia, with abundant supplies of the finest fish eaught in the immediate waters, with immense beds of planted oysters, which a1 the peculiar kind which retain all their fla- vor and substance during the warm months, with sum- mer game of all Yescriptions, no finer table can be spread in the world than Mr. Taber can give his guests at the Mount Vernon Hotel. ‘The salubrity of Cape May, and the pre-eminent advan- tages it possesses for sea bathing, have been endorsed by the most eminent physicians in our country, and all who visit it in rearch of health or pleasure, or to obtain re- laxation during the hot months, are delighted with it. When New Yorkers come toknow it better it will become one of their most favorite resorts. The immense size of new structure which isto receive the care of Mr. Taber will assure ail who visit Cape May that they can find ample accommodations ; and as everything will be new and complete, it will offer greater attractions to tourists than have been presented at any former season. We intend to make our citizens better acquainted with Cope May, now that one of their number has a hotel there for their accommodation, and we shall hereafter gre 8 more particular description of the Mount Vernon jotel, and by showing who have furnished it, prepared its fixtures and all its appointments, give a better ‘dea of its extent and magnificence, and the v1 outlay which ban been incurred upon its construction. In the mean- time, while the’advance of warm weather suggests the rogramme for summer amusements, let Cape May be put jown as one of the places where beauty, fashion, wealth, honest contentment, disappointed politicians, happy office holders, cabinet ministers, foreign diplomats, and all the world and his wife, will figure the coming summer, under the charge of Taber in his magnificent Mount Vernon Hotel. GRISWOLD HOUSE, GROTON, CONN. A beautiful and commotious hotel has recently been erected in Groton. It fronts on the river Thames, is about eighty feet long, has two fine promenades on the first anc second floors, a large and spacious hall, an gantsuit of rooms, together with all the necessary fixtures which belong to a first olass hotel.

[From the Tallahassee Floridian.) A new hotel is the great want of Savannah. To show this want ina more striking manner, we will narrate a little episode in the adventures of a friend of ours, who huad oecasion to enjoy the ‘* comfortable quarters” of the — House, Recently, a gentleman from our city, on hia way to New York, reached Suvannah at two o'clock in the morning. He was driven to the —— House. ‘No room, sir; all full,” was the reply to his application for accommoda- tions. The omnibus soon drew up at t where the rame unpleasant intelligence ai friend was, as Capt. Truck would tay, * i ry.” His eyes had scarcely cloced for two nights, and he could stand it no longer—sleep he must have, ‘Can you make me a pallet ina parlor?” “No sir—hav'nt a mattrass.”” “Can you give mea settee orasofat” ' Out of the | question.”” “Well, can you give me a pillow and a blan ket, and three chairs!” “There is nota pillow to spare in the bouse.”” Fortunately eur merchant traveller had a blanket of his own among his baggage, and bunting up this, he dropped himself down in the barroom, on a cou: ple of chairs, and was soon in the land of dreams. Of couse he could not sleep late in the morning — his | bedroom was a little too publie for that—and so a few hours of rest only was the best he could do. Aiter dinner he calied for his bill, preparatery to em- | barking on the steamer for New York. ‘*'wo dollars and a quarter,” was the response. “T'vo dollars and a quar- | ter’? exclaimed our traveller, “why, how’s that?’ The clerk ran over the items -—' Breakfast, seventy five cents; dinner, one dollar; lodging, fifty cent) “Lodging—why, sir, I had no bed, no wettee—not even a pallet. I slept on'two chairs, with my owm blanket, and in the bar: | tcom nt that, and yet you charge me, “lolging, Alty cents !’”? Our friend looked his indignation, and the clerk looked | sheepish, “I can’t help it, sir,” said he; “it’s on the bock.”” “Well, sir, give me the bill; write down each item and then receipt it—I'll pay i d he did, but as he threw the money on the counter, it was with a rap of the knuckles so loud as to eause Sambo, who was | handling the baggage, to turn quickly around, and ex- hibit an extra quantity of white under his eyelids, and fur- nish the bystanders with a just idea of the capacity of the puge cavern nature had placed beneath his wide spread. ing proboscis. Our friend departed, revolving in his mind the question whether the proprietors of the —- House | bed not better sell off all their bedding and resort to ehsirs, inasmuch as they consider that a few hours’ doze on the latter is worth as mach as a whole night's rest in a bed. DestirvTron anp Deatu.—Several days ago we apcke of 4 manand his wife, with their child, who came to the central watch house seeking a shelter for the night, they being moneyless and homeless. Yesterday morning the lifeless body of that same female was con. veyed thither—the shroud, a bedsheet; the cooling board, a plank torn from a fence; the hearse, a furniture wagon. ‘The corpre was subsequently buried at the expense of the corporation. The coroner having summoned a jury, they proceeded to inquire into the cause of her death." It ap- eared, from the testimony, that both the woman and er husband were addicted to strong drink. They were itinerant, aud together with their ch ld—a girl, four years of age—lived on solicited charity, which was not always stfficient to afford comfortable lodgings, and clothing suited to the season. Yesterday, at about nine o’cloek, being in the neighborhood of ‘Ninth and H streets, the female, having been permitted to enter the yard of a dwelling, fell to the ground in a state of com- plete exlaustion, and almost pulscless. Sympathizing strangers directly came to her relief, and removed her to the house, w¥ere, under the direction of Dr. Marbury, the usual remedies were applied, but without effect, an he died. A verdict was mendered according to the main facts elicited by the examination of the witnesses, among whom was the husband. The name of the woman is Frances West, that of the man James West, both of English birth. The last named represents that he gradu- ated at Oxford University, and exercieed the functions of a minister of the Established Church, and that his wife was of highly respectable connections, and related in 4 divect line to Oliver Goldsmith; hence the name of their girl, Ada Geldsmith West, Admitting the state- ment to be true, what a snd reverse of fortune.

[From the Poughkeepsie Free Press, April 22.] A most horrible crime was perpetrated in Ulster county on Sunday, the 7th inst.. which, together with the cir- cumstances attending the history of those concerned, will form a chapter of exciting interest to the public. For many years a man named Benjamia Boyce lived in the mountains known as the ‘Traps,’ in the town of Rochester, in this county. He bad’ several sons and daughters. The wife of Ben Boyce, one eold morning, was found frozen to death, about a mile from home, in the mountains, some fifteen or more years azo, and she 8 buried beneath the leaves of the forest. Ben lived alone with bis children for some time, but finally they were all married save ene, named Eliza, Not far from Ben’s lived a man named Cross, who was married, but lived unhappily with his wife. ‘Ben knew this, and accordingly opened negotiations with his neigh- dor, which resulted in a fair exchange. Boyce took Mrs, Cross to wife, or to his home, and Cross took Ben’s daugh- ter Eliza. Soon after this arrangement, the woman Eliza gave Dirth to adaughter. But the complexion of the child, the color ard uuliar curl of its ‘air, indicated that some one blacker than Cross was its father. Besides, her reputed intimacy with a colored man strengthened the conviction that the child was the progeny of the black man and white woman. Cross did not seem to mind this at all, but continued to acknowledge her as his spouse and the child as his own. ‘The gir] became fourteen or fifteen years of age, when she was reduced by a man living in the neighborhood, by the name of Jacob Goslin, He is a miserable specimen of hu- manity—a morrally,and physically deformed brute. He hae a wife, who, it is said, is jealous of him. The girl Cross was about to become a mother. On Sunday, she was induced to accompany Goslin into the woods, in the course of their walk they came toa precipice, about two hundred feet high, and perfectly perpendicular. Here they aicryes totalk. After a brief period Goslin looked over the brink and cried out to the girl that he sawa woodchuck, and indicated io her where the animal was to be seen. After he withdrew a step or two, she approached the edge cf the rock to look over, when he gave hera sud- den push, and over she went into the awful abyss below. Strange as it may appear, the fall did not kill her. She struck among stones and stumps, but survived the terri- ble descent. The injuri he eustained, however, were terrible, and must prove 1, it is said. Her bowels were rent open, and her whole body was bruised and mangled in a horrible manner. In this awful condition, she crawled towards s habitation, and was two days and nights ex- poced, before she was discovered. Up to the last accounts she is still living. Goslin has ‘fed. Itis stated that his wife of the cowardly deed, and it is believed from jealousy. Officers are in pursust of the villian, and it ie hoped he may be arrested and punished. The poeple lere are highly excitedon the subject, and if he {s cap- tured about here, he will almost certainly be subject to Lynch law. It is considered impossible for the girl tolive, hough she yet breathes. Parponep.—President Pierce, on Friday last, ex- tended a full pardon to Joseph Rosenthal, who was con- vieted at the September term of the United States Dis- triet Court, of an attempt to pass goods through the Bal- timore Custom House, upon a fraudulent invoice. The accused was tried at the first term of the court after the indictment was found, before, it is said, he had time to receive from Germany the original bill of goods from the manufacturers of whom they were purchased. The ference between the appraisement of Custom Hoi officers and the invoice, as sworn to by the accuséd, amounteo to but nine dollars, as it appears ; and the jury, in their verdict, recommended him to the merey of the court. Since he has been imprisoned under sentence of the court, the original bill of goods has been received from Frankfort, attested by his brother before the United States Consul at that ports which proves to be exactly a counterpart of the bill sworn to by the accused at the Baltimere Custom House. President Pierce, in view of the recommendation of the jury, and the subsequent evidence brought before him, after an examination into the matter, immediately directed his release from con- finement.—Baliimore Sun, April 25.

The colonial legislature have already voted strong addresses to the Queen, deprecating an abandonment of their exclusive right to the coast fish- ery, unless on the condition of entire reciprocity in nav ation. The New Brunswick Colonial Association has tely adopted resolutions calling om the people to elect as mewbers of the next General Assembly only such men as will be in favor of demanding, as a condition of continuing their annexation with the mother couatry, the unlimited control of their internal affairs, and either reciprocal trade with the United States, or the power to negotiate their own commercial treaties with the United es.
