Sunday, May 21,1807, ‘The News, ‘The siander euit of Fowles against Bowen, tried oace before, when a verdict of $6,000 was rendered for the plaintiff, has again occupied the Superior Court this week on a second trial, obtained upon ex- ceptions, and resulted last evening in a verdict for the plaintiff, though in a lesser amount, $4,500. We farsish in another place a brief sketch of the sum- ming vp, and a full report of the very important charge of Judge Woodruff on the law of spoken slander: hew fer it is privileged, how it should be re- straiacd, and how far punishable under ciroumstan- cea of melice or by the injury done the complaining party. The circumstances are too familiarly known to the commanity to need repetition—indeed, the defendaat's counsel made it a cause of complaint in hie addresa that the newspapers had so frequently within the last four years notified the cause as coming oa for trial--that we need say no more now than that the plaintiff waa formerly a caleaman in the house of Bowen & McNamee, dry goods mer- chenta; be left them to go to Cincianati and took with him a strong letter of recommendation from Bowen & McNamee, andobtained a similar sitaation with an eminent firm there The Cmecinnatl house subsequently commenced dealing with another firm in New York for gloves and hosiery, instead of with Bowen & | McNamee, and suspicion arose in the minds of the | lsteer that it waa owing to the inuence of Fowles | that this change took place.

Spain, Romé, Mexico, Onba, the United States andthe New York Herald—The Alarm at Madrid. We transfer to our colaums to-day a tranela- tion of avery curions article, which we fad in El Leon Fspanol of Madrid, concerning the Spau- ish quarrel with Mexico, the filibesters of the United States, the New Yorx Herat, and the Ostend proclis ities of Mr. Buchanan's administra- tion. Our Spanish cotcmporary affects a prodigious amount of contempt for the Hirrinp; but in re- ference to a late editorial of ours on Spanish, Mexican and Cuban affairs, wo are flattered with the assurances of the most serious consideration | onder the very shadow of the Escurial. The main | point of our article in question was tbis:—That should Spain go to war with Mcxico, as sho has been threatening to do, the Mexican government would find no difficulty in raising ten or fifteen millions of dollars, cash, in the eale of so ne of her Northern territories to the United States; and | tbat with this furd, Mcxico in a few weeks could inuster from ihis country the requisite steamers | and filibusters for the conquest and occupation of | the island of Cuba.

Bewarel We say to Spain and to Rome, beware! Who are the Real Law Breakers 1 An organ of the republican party endeavors to fasten upon Mayor Wood the odium of the law. It is said that opposition to the Metro. politan Police act was legitimate and constita- tional when that act waa a mere bill before the Legislature, but that now it has taken its place on the etatate book, it is entitled to respect and obedience from every good citizen. And it is stated that Mayor Wood, in opposing the enforce- ment of said act, wishes to raise himself above the law, and seta an example of anarchy and ineubor- dination. ‘Those who pursue this line of argument com- mit a double blunder. They forget, in the first place, that Fernando Wood, in opposing the Me- tropolitan Police act, is not acting as a private individual, but as the chartered executive, and chief magistrate of the city. Hs defence of the | freedom of New York, now for the first time as. sailed by a corrupt party at Albany, is not an in- dividual act; it is the necessary function of the instrument whom wo have appointed to perform certain magisterial duties. We have yet to leara that any private individual, however humble, is not aathorized to test the constitutionality of a law which he deems unconstitutional; but Mayor Wood is not reduced to rely on this right. By his oath of office, he undertook fo perform certein: duties conncoted with the government of the city. While ho is discharging these daties, there ap. pears, euddenly, « band of politiciane who claim to have a betterright than he to perferm them, He denies the justice of their claim, ad ‘appeals, firet to the law, next to the natural freedom and | Tight of eelf-goverxment enjoyed by the people of the-sity.

He rests, anchored securely, upen’ the old Mion(go- meric and Dorgan charters, whick have been va- ters, from the tizet establishment of the Legislataze to its very seesion of 1857. Tie Legislature cf nothing therein contained should be construe as“ tepealing the old Montgomerie and Dongan char- ters, but that on thecontrary thos»charters should continue to be and to have full foree snd effect. Tn the teeth ef this very positive canetment and in defiance of a law which has beon hallowed by ® century's respeet and obedience, these so- | called Commissioners, Draper, Nye; Stranahan & Co. have the impudence to attempt to wrest the control of tho police out of the hands of Mayor Wood, and the most importaat functions of government from the magistrates to whom they were committed by us. They attempt thie not only by open assault, and public summons, bat by underhand: negotiation, by » tampering with police captains, by a mixture of cajoling and bullying well.calculated to affest the men | who compose the force.

It is » bold snd “ outspoken” denial of the truth of the dogmas— 8 denial of its being the teaching of the councils or the holy fathers, and a severe personal at: tack on the veracity and conduct of Pius 1X- himeelf. It is, indeed, aw extraordinary docu- ment—a sturdy outbreak of Dutch oourage— which is likely to lead to mavy important con- sequences in the Catholic church. It appears that about the year 1825 Pope XIL iseued @ bull of excommunitation against those very bishops who had taken: the cath of allegiance to William the First, at time when the separation of Belgium became a leading idea with the Catholic clergy, which they warmly en- forced, both in and out of the charch, and which, chiefly by their tnfluence, Dutch prelates were understood to be opposed to the movement. Bat in fact they never stocd well at Rome; for they and‘ their followers were suspected of leaning to’ the to the doctrines of Janseniuss, a French Bishop of Ypres and s Deetor of Divinity of Louvain, who gave out certain opinions in regard toirre- sistible grace and predestination, which had‘ rather a Calvinistic character, and were bitterly denounced by the Jesuits. A violent contest im the church was only finally pat an end to by a bull issued by Clement XI, in 1713, well known to theologians by its name of the “Unigenitus’— to called from its beginning with the words “Unigenitus Dei filius,” &e. These Jansenists | were noted for their extreme morality of con- duet, their evangelical teaching, their avoidance of pompous rites and ceremonies, and their per- sonal attention to the instruction and reforma- | tion of their people. A great number of learned | Catholic bishops adopted: their tenets, which epread rapidly among the literary and intellectu- a) classes of Europe. | ‘The bull of excommunication isszed | XI | ty in the Netherlands, ended to long and un- | pleasant negotiations, which-were finally settled But Mayes Wood occupies, par exelenve, t#eat- | by aconcordat signed at Rome im Jane, 1827, | yx. ——-: | Igy the Holy See and the Datch ambamader, the | Count de Celles, lowing month.
