Wymiss Jobeon was taken inte custody, on Saturday, ome charge of malicious Itbe!, preferred agemst him by Dr. John Allen, of No. 80 Bond street. The accused was brought before Justice Quackerbush, at the Jefforeon ‘Market Police Court, where he wes detained unt!] he could give the necessary amount of bail for bie appearance when called upon to answer. The accused denied the charge preferred against him, and said i was got up for the purpose of preventing his attendance as a witnass in the referee case where the renowned Lota Montez figured so conspicuously the other day. These parties, it appeers, have been engaged in law suits for some years At one time Jobson is complainant, and at another time it is Allen vs, Jobson, In the presept cage Allen clieges that Jobsoa published or caused to be pubdlixbed, certain arti- cles respecting bis character as a gentlemao aud a tap of business. These articles he claims were pub- lished in placaris and pamphlet form, and circulated among members of the dental profession throughout the entire country, for the pur; ‘of injuring te eompiain- apt’s character among his frieuds aed members of the dental profession in this city and elsewhere. The com lain. as made before Justice Quackenbash, reads as follows : John Allen, of No. $0 Bond street, being duly sworn, deposes apd says that he is engaged iu the dentistry bust pese atthe pumber and street aforesaid in the city aad county a‘oresaid. At different times he was maliciously libeiled by one David W. Jobson Depoveatturther says tbat on or axout the Ist December, 1857, Jobson pu! liehed or caused to be published, as deponent verily ve- eves, the anpexed placard, marked Exbibit a, which said card is libellous apd injurious to depowent’s character aud business. Deponent further adds that some time in Decem- ber, 1857, said Jobeow also caused to be puolished, as depo- rout verily believes, the apnexe1 placard, marked B, and bad the same posted about the streets, which said placard is libel us and injurious to the deponsat Deponent further adds that some time in the month of December, 1857, said Jobson, as depovent verily believes, copied from the New York Henaup the anrexed extract, and that be traurmitted the same, together with a communication to the Association of Deotists, of which deponent is a mem ber, ano that it was waliciously dove for the purpese of injuring deponent. Deponent further says that on two separate occasions during the first week in February, said Jobson caused to be published the annexed placard marked D, and caused the same to be posted tbrougbout tbe city, and tbat said publica ion was libellous and maiiciously done against toe fair name ant fame ot this deponent, with intent to injure depouent io his business and family relations. ‘Deponent further adds that the anonymous note hereto annexed, marked E., is ip the hand riting of said Jonson, as de .ontat verily believes, and was vent to depynent, together with the placard similar to the oe marked D. Deponent therefore, from the facts and circumstances set iorth, charges said Jobson with having wiliuliy aud wickedly aud cage. He then read the following paper:— TO REGULATE AND G&ADE PIFTY-SIXTH STREET, BE- TWEEN FOURTH AND FIFTH AVENUBS. Ou the 18th of September, 1856, a contract was made by Joveph §.

John Mason, United States Minister in Paris. NEW LINE OF STEAMERS PROPOSED BETWEEN NORFOLK VA., AND NANTES IN FRANCE. Panis, Dec. 7, 1857 My Dear Cotorki—I wrote you some months since on a point very interesting to the water line, which you know I regard as not only practicable, but as & sine gua wen to the complete success of Virginia in her noble eaterpri' to deve.ope her own rich resources, and in tu* competiuon for the rich volume of trade produced in the valley of the Miswinsippi and ite tributaries. But i received no ackaow. ledgment, which left me uneertain whether you had received it, until Mr. Ballard Preston informed me that you bad furnished him ® copy of my letter. I thank you for paying it such a ccmpliment. Dear old Virginia ! every day's absence iscresses my affection; and in she midat of the migbty changes which railroads and cagals are eect ing in the old world, I constantly think of the harvest waich awa te ber grand system of improvement. Lying broadside onthe Atlantic, with ber lines of artificial stretching from the ee back to the greatert producing valey im the world, i have always felt thet her system was incom. gE unless these lines were virtually extended wo purape, the f and consumer of our pro- ducts, and Sich won supplies almost all our wants. I Cer poe the liveliest pleasure and cnthusiagm , the arrival of bere, in the enecu- tion of the honorable mission with which he ia charged. Tbave, with « will, lent ham every aid in my power. But I must say in candor, that with his knowledge of the snoject, aad the signal ability and addrere which be bag brought to his Dut little pid was re- quired. He did right, in my judgment, to leave Evglaad, where the existing lines and managements of business left him but litte of a sucorssful result, except at & price whioh we could not pay. He came to France at 48 Aurpicious moment, for the government was about to establish three trapsotiantic lines of steamers, with large and liberal subscriptions By ove of thove accidenta which sometimes exert such potent influence on bumen affairs as to justify the belief in @ special Providence, Mr. Preston wae Placed in communication with the Orleans Railroad Com- pany. Mr. Preston and I visited Nantes and San Nazaire at the mouth of the Loire. At the latter point the French government is constructing the most magnificent artificial harbor in the world. Opening to the ocean, « ship sailing between that point and Chesakeake Hay avords the channel, and will find her route shorter by a copriderable time than between Havre and the same point. On our return to Nantes, Mr. Preston was called on by the chief engineer and a director of the Orieens Company, and expianations were eo eatiefactorily made that a negotiation was commenced, which, 1 think, is ‘about to end in a complete success, if his constituents ap- prove the basis of agreement. 1 will leave him to make known the terms of the proposition. 1 content my. self with saying that he bas doue me the honor to confer up ocd be finds that there js aueh an immense amount of ‘work thet ae it stands, it ie a very close job, and he will do well if comes out of it without loss. He has UT wd @eal yet w do for nothing. Ewen values it at $10,000 ‘that he has executed without being in the contract, expecting to get it into an ordinance; I will state that an Oroinance wae passed th: h both Boards of the inst men Council authorizing this work to be inserted into the covtract, and authorizing the Street Commissioner to ‘contract for & wall at 20 cents a cubic foot; I made a com piaint to the Board of Aldermen, stating all the facts, showing that the wall at this rate was five or «ix times More than « liberal price for the work: that it would amount to $4,900, and would be of no value to the proper ty owners, and could not be asseseed, and that in that cave payment would fall op the city; my communication, 1 as never read or rey on; well, 1 sent word © that the contract was illegal, and that! would ever pay for the wall aniese | was compelied oh, 1 tiunt Put that in my letter, though: Farley came dows ty me fend said he had nv to do with the Council-that the contract was made him; | told bim, very well, if he not told me so | abould euppese the contract was made improperly, there the matter rests; it is very important that thie ordinance should be reecifded: ob, fet me a/4, Farley bid 40 cents @ cubic yard on a wall on Sixth avenue and hae now got it done; the inst was on Fifth avenue, | remember. aud was for 20 conts acubie foot, that would be $5 40 a cubic though be bar done the wail on Sixta ¢ for 40¢. & cubic foot; Mr. Ewen says that 120. ie enough, co tba} even here be gets vyor three Limes & rea. with me at every stage of the negotiation—that he has condueted it with most honorable candor and with cou gummate ability. y in France, and owns net work of railroads which cover one-third of the Empire, compecting Paris with the ocean, and with other lines to Switzerland, Italy and Germany. Taine our friends will be gratified, that bis arrangement will, if adopted, secure at such a trifling cost, now and for the futore, such inestimable advantages for us and our lines of improvement. | congratulate myself that no occasion bas ariven for an application to the Imperial ernment. ir. Preston's success, under the appalling diend yantaces which bave been piaced m his way by the condition of moneyed affaire, is ost honorable to hitn—and it may turn ont that the commercial disasters which haye dote so much to break up the old channels of trade with the United States, are positively advantageous to this now en terpriee If the arrangement shall be consummated, the comple. tion of the water line to the Ohio cannot be long post- youed.

The -upyly is far in excess of th- de “¢ d, and “he rate: for ext] or temporary ' a d ceding. Inside the. be an are graduatty re four and six per gle ae rogers ere See: in the best posted flnan- na ©" aes ii that the bull of our specie exports for wie Pvason bar been made, and that we may look for » steady ircrenve in the specie reserve of our banks forthe next six months For some time past importations have bee® exceedingly limited, w! the exports from tit and all the Southern ports have been inexce* 0 those for the corresponding period the previews year. Our foreign trade is rapid- ly settling down upon a favorable and satisfactory the basis, and the experience of the past six months tas, , tivity, and prices of various articles beyond doutt, been sufficient to prevent a dangerous expansion Tor some years. The great massesof this country @re not, and are not likely to be for a long time, in a position to consume so extravagantly of toreigm luxuries. The abundance of money in the gieat financial centres is not calculated to givemuch imyetus to general business, and se omg as the ac- cumulationof specie goes on im the leading mar- kets the condition of the agricultural interests is not likely to improve. The countzy at large has been much impoverished by the contraction of trade. The enormons reduction in prices for all our #aple pro- ducts, tin advance of general liquidation, has taken away from many the means of payment, and they must look to future indastry and new production to provide the wherewithal to close outstanding in- debtedness. The agricuttural classea, as a general thing, are poor. Their crops were not large enough last year, at the prices current after harvest, to pay their debts; and the country merchant has, there- fore, found it difficult to make his usual remittances. There probably is mo class of claims so good in the long run as those against farmersyemd they will ulti- mately redeem every cent of their indebtedness; but it is a matter of time and for that we must wait. Until old debts are cleared off, no new ones will be formed except for actual necessities, and this will materially restrict consumption. We cannot, therefore, look for a revival of business until after another harvest. In the spring of 1859 the wheels of commerce will, without doubt, move again with some rapidity: and hardly until that time can we look for much activity in the money market. Speculation in stocks may in the meantime be carried to a very great extent, and a dangerous point of inflation may be reached; but it will be confined to Wall street and its imme- diate vicinity, and will not, we trust, operate in- juriously upon any great general interest. The steamship Niagara, at Halifax from Liver- | pool, brings three days later news. The financial advices are highly favorable. The Bank of England has reduced the rate of interest to four per cent. Outside the bank the rates ruled at 24 a 3 per cent, and on the Stock Exchange the rates ruled at 1a 2 per cent. The supply of money was so great that it was with the utmost difficulty that loans could be made on government securities. The reduction fn the rate by the bank had no effect on stocks, in con- sequence of the low rates previously ruling outside. Consols were steady at previous quotations. It was the impression in the financial circles of London that the present ease in the money market would con- tinue for a long period. The commercial advices generally are satisfactory. ‘The outward movement of specie from this port last week was quite limited, as will be seen by the annexed statement: — SHIPMENTS OF SPECIE FROM THR PoRT or New York.
