THE OPERA LIBEL SUIT—THE VERDICT AGAINST THE HERALD. The hbel suit against the Hanar, ing out of its attacks upon the opera management of 1848, was closed yesterday by # verdict of ten thousand dollare and costs against the proprietor of the Hxratn, and in favor of Mr. Fry. a another part of this morning’s paper will be found the closing portions of Mr. Jordan’s suanent for the plaintiff, and the whole of Judge Oak- y's charge. This ia & very heavy verdict—one not to be justified, exeept by the fact that the Hxratp’s attacks upon the tematic. unprincipled, and in stead; liberate purpose to break it dows, ai Volve its manager in ruinous pecuniary loss. If 5 Purpose existed, and.was aoted on by that or any other pewsraper, no verdict of a jury could punish it teo rely; for the man capable of forming and carrying execution lacks only temptation and the assur- ‘snee of impunity to turn highway robber, and becomes dangerous just in proportion to the circulation and influ ence of the journal usder his control. An opera, like any oth ublic favor, is justly subject to fair eriticiom, and controlled by a ragurd for the pab- lic good; but » systematic attack upon its mani at, aiming to impoverish rain the manéger, and pres outed in utter cisregard of jastics and of truth, is tainly one of the highest oifences agsinst society which ary member of it can commit. For if one man may thus be assailed in his business by his enemy, so may another; and a newspaper becomes only the most powerful we pon, wielded by the basest men for the worst purposes. ‘The public press would thus becomea public curse— dreadful in proportion to its power, and holding every man in the community at the absolute mercy of the un- prineipled ruflians who might secure its direction. No Just theory of free dircas+ion can possibly permit to the prema sueli a degree of license aa this, It is very clear, from the verdict rendered, thet the jury believed that the Henaup hes been guilty of just such ® deliberate, systematic, relentless attack upon the Personal and pecuniary interests of Mr. Fry as this, It ‘Was proved that, on being solicited to see the proprietor of the Hera, and secure his influence in favor of the ope- ta, Mr. Fry had said that be had nothing to say to Mr. Ben- nett—that he would have nothing to do with him, aud that Le neither gave him his jo) priatiog, nor advertised in his paper. It was alzo proved that when this reply was reported to him, Mr. Bennett remarked that he would ‘soon finish Mr. Fry;’—and the whole subse. quent course of the Herat towards Mr. Fry and his maxagement of the opera, was in pursuanee of the pur- pose annourced in this preliminary threat, Mr. Ft; Yas personally ridiculed and abused;—his engegement of artists and assignment of their paris was demounced; —bis audience: calumniate¢ ;—every opportanity was teized to foment quarrels among the members of his company;—and’nothiog was left undone by the Heratp which could heap contempt upen the opera, and deprive it of all claims onthe public respect and support.

JUDGMENT ON SATANIC PRESS. ‘When we gave, a few months since, appropos to some- thipg, a review of the Satanic press, with the life and ad- ventures of its editor, James Gordon Bennett, we men- tioned that among other marks of public distinction which he had received were seven horsewhippings in pub- llc, not counting sundry “outs,” cuffings and Tickloge, and having his jaws foreed open and his throat spit into.

He desiguedly held back from his editicn of yesterday morning the argument of Lee) pero coumel, Mr. Jordan, giving instead the concluding remarks of his ewn counsel, Mr. Seudford, well knowing at the same time the jury would gives verdict to-day, amd each member would probably read over such speeches and refresh his memory or not, as they heppened to be published.

Certainly we did not, but let the trial proceed aa it ought, without me sttempt om our pait to infinence the jury, directly or ‘Th jest road must have an end; and so the longest trial, preceded by “the law’s delay”? to the uttermost, must come tos oonclasion. ‘All suffering doth cease;” and fo accordingly yesterday s verdict was rendered, agd this legal mater, which has .been before the courts tive years, was brought to s close. This verdict gives ten thousand dollars damages, with costs, to the plaintiff. So James Gordon Bennett is at last, af er a long ere convicted of the grossest and most infamous libels a sentexced to pay exemplary Peery res His lawyera have, owing to the facilities of deiay, long prevented the trial from coming to an issue; but the plaintiff, with what we sre assured is but characteristic determination, has never held back for an instant, but ia proportion to the intes- nity of the difticulty of obtaining a decision, has pursued 8 end. Immense and immeasurable as are the blackguardism and infamy of the Satanic Press—infamous as it is to % proverb—its conduct toward Mr. E. P, Fry has been more than ordinarily intemperate, indecent, foul and damnable. We own to an exbausticn ef rhetoric in any attempt to paint the Satanic and its ecitorin such verbal tints would make their pictures life-like. We feel the paup ism of the dicticnary—the meraemus of idioms—in all such efforts to describe them. We csn understand the starving wretch, with tear-withered eyes, with wilted cheek, with shrunkem vitals and almost pulseless heart, Griven to the last of crimes to got the bread to save life. We can understands Thug, or even under certain circun- stances a Burke; both belong to Pandemonium, but still they are comprehensible. But the creature who directs the Satanie, who revels in wealth and libels—who amass- es and stabs, and rtabs and amasses—whose whos life seems made up of the refare of depravity, is «mystery tous. Cause and eflect seem warting here, and human nature stands aghast at ® vory Colossus of pervers'on, bossting that his yest on each hemisphere, a: spread over a vast oven ‘The cage in quettion we may ee en It seems that Mr. E.

We say he has been condemped bye jury of ‘the people; not because we do not consider all honorable citizens as alike en‘itled to that name, but because the Satanic has always attempted, with ts lurid seribbiings, to light up divisions and bates in society, by classing one set as aristocracy, and the other as pletelans; and taking, therefore, the £atanio’s own distinctions, we say he has been so condemned, U; looking at the jury in ques- tion, we find it compo follows: ~One milkinan, three butchers, one paint cealer, cne grocer, three merohsats, and two mechanics, These are the men who have con- demned the libeller belor ging to the Satanic to pay ten thousand dollars; compelled him to do it, although, mas- ter of the science of the Jai delay, he hoped to tire out his victim by throwing huge and otanifold obstacles in the prosecution of the watter; compelled him to do it, al- though by seven lawyers, who obstructed and’ ob- acured the course of justice for five long years.

MONEY MARKED. Tuvespay, Dec, 15—6 P. M. ‘The stock market is daily becoming more depressed in prices and more limited in transactions. The aggregate operations to day were less t! we frequently see in one leading fancy, and it is our impression thst full one-half of the sales at the board now-a-days are what is called “washes.” At the first board to-day, Nicaragua Transit declined +f per cent.; Delaware and Hudson, 34; Canton Company, 4; New Jersey Zine, 34; Pennsylvania Coal 13g; Parker Velo, 3; New York Central Railroad, 34; Stonjngton, };; Panama Railroad, 3, Cumberland Coal advanced '; per cent.; Harlem, 14; Norwich and Worces- ter, 4; Reading Railroad, *{. In railroad bonds, wry Hittle business was transacted. Nothing was dealt in, to any extent, except the usual speculative securities of the Gay, and they seem to attract the attention of a very limited mumber of operators. Speculators gemerally are anxiously waiting the arrival of the steam- ship Asis, as the next news will be of the most vital importance to the financial and cemmercia) classes, Until the steamer arrives, very little business will be transacted in Wall street. Great difference of opinion exists among capitalists, regarding the com- plexion of our next foreign advices, but none of them ap- pear to be operating in accordance with their views. Tae safest’ wiy is {o wait, an@ then take bold under stendingly. «The teaty oe tainly have the strongest side ‘of the game at piecent, and the probability is that their position will be much strengthened by the next arrival ‘The beat interést_is @ large one, and dail increasing. Several of the oldest and worthiest members o! the board are on the opposition side of the house, and feel cor fident that future crents will enable them to carry al! the points aimed at. On the other hand, holders of certain fancies exhibit no anxiety to realize, but aro purchasing to the full extent of their means for a rise. This is parti- cularly the case in Niearagua, and many of the most pro- minent mining stocks These securities may touch prices below those now current, but strong hopes are entertain: ed that a few weeks will suffice togive them a much better position in the market.

Still this does not seem to influence receivers of goods, who are as yet indisposed to exhibit their frosh supplies to the public, amd altogether reluctant to accep: any orders from regular customers, or rather buyers for articles adapted to the spring traffic, upon less favorable conditions than such as were secured in the early part of the season, now so nearly ended. Indeed, in some in- stances, owners sre inclined to part with their stocks only at improved prices, as they could scarcely obtain duplicates without paying considerably hisher rates. How this steadfastness upon the part of holders may affect the next quarter’s business, cannot be rightly cal- culated until after the Christmas holidays. Then, coua- ‘try purchasers will pour into the market, and in connee tion with ‘local jobbers, will stimulate trade.
