4 DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD. His Lerdship’s Family He got Into Rows and Watchhoures—His ‘Visit to New York City—Temporary Lodge- ‘The City of Baltimore brings us the announcement, Lelegraph, that the Marquis of Waterford was killed while Jbunting, on the evening of the 29th ult. This event is of pecular interest to New Yorkers, as, in his younger days, ‘when on a visit to this city, the noble Marquis, in conse- ‘quence of some rowdy pranks, was afforded an opportu- wity of viewing the inside of the old Bridewell, then our Park. The Marquis of Waterford was a Peor of England and Ireland; his titles were, Earl and Viscount Tyrone, Baron Beresford, of Beresford, county of Cavan, and Baron De la Poer of Curraghmere, county of Waterford, in the Peerage of Ireland, and a Baronet of the samo part of the United Kingdom, and Baron Tyrone of Haverfordwest, county of Pembroke, in the Peerage of Great Britain. ‘The family surname dates back to 1087, under the frst ‘Wm. Rufus, to John de Beresford—the long line of illustri- bus ancestors adding an accumulation of titles to the family. Among these, Sir Tristam Beresford, of Coleraine, Knight bf the Shire for Londonderry in the Parliament of 1661, ‘was created a Baronet of Ireland in 1665; another Sir ‘Tristam commanded a regiment of foot against James II., ‘and was attainted by his Parliament. Sir Marcus mar. ied the daughter and heiress of James IIl., and in conse- quence was raised to the peerage of Ircland, Nov. 4, 1120, #8 Baron Beresford, of Beresford, county Cavan, and Vis count Tyrone, and Earl of Tyrone in 1746. Lord Tyrone inheritod the ancient baronetcy of his mother in 1769, and ‘was enrolled amongst the peers of England in 1730, as Baron Tyrone of Haverfordwest, county of Pembroke, and created Marquis of Waterford in 1789. His eldest son, Henry de la Poer, who was a Kuight of St. Patrick, a Privy Councillor in Ireland, Governor of the county of ‘Waterford, &c., who died July 16, 1826, was father of the late Marquis, one of whose uncies was Primate of all Ire- land and Archbishop of Armagh, another was Lord Bishop of Kilmoro; and two or three others were rectors over the largest parishos in Kilmore and Armagh. The family was most influential from the time of the Irish union with England down to 1829, both in (Church and State. They were firm friends of the union, and one of the family was created one of the twenty-eight Irish peers sitting in the House of Lords. During the insurroction of '98, John Claudius Beres- Tord, then holding the office of Provost Marsha! of Dub lin, is said to have amused himeelf for eight or nine months in the most horrible tortures of such of the insur- geuts as unluckily fell into his hands, in the purauance of what he considered bis official duty. Among other things, he cut off the tips of the ears of many, which originated | the nickname of ‘‘croppy,’’ 80 often applied to the | Roman Catholic party, of which most of the insurgents were composed. But during the O'Connell agitation, the town and county of Waterford fell into the hands of the O'Connell party, and the inuenco of the Beresfords, from controlling the six votes of the boroughs, dwindled down to next to none, and the county is now represented by the father of Mr. Thomas Francis Meagher. ‘The late Marquis wasa most eccentric individual. In his youth, upon one occasion he was known to mis- chievously touch off a gun on board his father’s yacht, loaded for the purpose of firing a salute, instantly killing a man who chanced to stand before the mouth of the piece. His father, dying when he was seventeen years of age, left him in possession of an estate worth £100,000 per annum, and an almost bound- lees opportunity for the gratification of his peculiar tastes. In 1835, he, in company with Viscount Jocelyn and Col, Dundas, visited this country ina yacht, and indulged in an amusement which was a favorite pastime with him at home—that of upsetting watchboxes and watchmen, or leatherheads, as they were sometimes called—for which ‘amusement the incorruptible police justices of that day locked up his lordship and friends, who were only rescued from confinement upon interposition by the Mayor. We extract from the files of the Hzranp sn account of the oc ‘currence, which will show how his lordship bebayed bim- self in this city:— (From the Now York Herald, Oct. 6, 1835.] POLICE—EXTRAORDINARY CAPTURE—THREE NOBLES AND A COMMONER IN LIMBO. One of the most extraordinary events that ever took place in the New World occurred yesterday morning in this blessed city of New York, near the foot of Washington stroet, and in the police office in the Park, Justice Hopson presiding, and Mr. Callender, Clerk of the Rolls. No such affair bas before graced this country since the colonial age, when Lords, Viscounts, Barons and Baronets lived upoa the fat of the Jand and fluttered their wings before the bright eyes of our women. ‘esterday morning, before sunrise, a body of watchmen ‘at the foot of Washington street captured, in one haul, the Most Noble the Marquis of Waterford, ¥ Tord Beresford, and Co all being ony , at that hour and place, in the noble ex: rimeut of breaking windows, smashing night lamps, rocking down the watchmen, and sundry other valoroug deeds of the like kind.

The Mayor spread before our noble visiters the best of the land. His cook- ery was excelient—also his wines wero delicate and full of excellence. Their Lordships behaved with great pro- priety, although we must say that Beresford and Jocelyn are rather disagreeable, in consequence of a habit of loud talking and laughing about little or nothing. They must reform this habit if they mean to stand well in our good graces. i gentlemanly and elegant. After enjoying the hospitatity Of the Mayor until a late hour (in spite of his recent pro- )), the young nobles departed and proceeded to- ‘The noble Marquis and the Colonel are quite | ‘wards a quarter of the city which shall be nameless.

The Marquis was born by | April 28, 1811, succeeded to his title on the death of bis father, July 16, 1826, and married, June 8, 1342, Louisa, second daughter of Lord Stuart de Roth- gay, who had the reputation of being ene of the most beautiful women in the country. Shortly after their marriage, while bis lordship was driving her in the park, the horses took fright and ran away, oversetting the car- riage and nearly ki her ladyship. Recently, from some whim, the Marquis soid his stud of borses, some of them bringing fabulous prices. He occasionally sat in his seat in the House of Lords, but never did avything of importance. He always voted with the conservative party, but his priacely means ren- dered him rather more fond of the chage than of legiala- tion. The family was always popular with tho people of the vicinity, for its liberal expenditure of money, ‘and the late Marquis, particularly, for his democratic manner of going among the people; and among all the attacks oa the landowners he was preserved from harm. Edwin Forrest’s Libel Suit Against N. Willts—The Judge's Charge on the Law of Libel. COURT OF COMMON FLEAS. Before Hon. Judge Hilton. Avni. 12 —Edwin Forrest vs. N. P. Willis. —Mr. Gerard proceeded to sum up on the part of the defendact. He ‘aid there are three things to constitute a libel. The first must be the assertion of a fact,and not the mere opinion or belief founded on circumstances, Libels wore brought for certain crimes, or some charges that bave length, breadth and thickness. You may express an opinion or pelief, if warranted by circumstances, and that opinion or belief is no libel. The next essential of a libel is, that the fact you assert must be false, and the party uttering it must know or believe it to be false. Falsehood is the very essence of a libel. Counsel then briefly stated his propositions. ‘The first essential of a libel is malice; false- ‘hood and malice are the foundation of an action for libel, and if it were not so the articles and communications which appear ina free press in a free country would not be permitted. Mr. Gerard continued to address the jary ‘on those propositions, and to comment upon the evidence, for some time, interspersing his remarks with his usu flashes of wit and eloquence. ‘The Court then took a brief recess. Mr. Van Buren, in summing up for the plaintiff, said:— It has bappened in this ag in many other actions where a defendant is summoned to answer to a charge made against him by a plaintiff, he finds it much more con- venient to complain of the delay in bringing the suit and to try the result of other controversies, and to arouse the rejadices of a jury in reference to parties other than imself, and ask their verdict not upon the issue pre- sented, but upon immaterial and irrelevant matters. Ho then ded to review the testimony and comment upon it with force, energy and eloquence, and submitted that there is not one in mitigation of the libel, nor one word of evidence for its provocation. He asked, where are all the witnesses for the defence? And alluded to the fact that it was perhaps the first instance known in which the plaintiff in a libel suit commenced his case by going himself upon the witness stand and subjecting himself to a rigid crose-examination. In conclusion, Mr. Van Buren said, this country has shown immense in almost everything. it has shown this progress in material improvement—the old travelling mail coach Biving place to the steamboat, the steamboat giving way to the railroad; and the daily mail giving place to the telegraph—the few scattered people pcre to be some five and twenty millions, thirteen creasing to thirty-three. Ti eat country, ad- ‘vancing as it has with rapid strides, the material im- provement, has made no less rapid advance in intellect, in genius and inarts. The simple poet of the early history of thig country bas given place to men of genius and ac- quirements—to leck, ‘ant and Longfeliow; the pul- pit oratory of an early day has given place to the elo. quence which we now hear. In every department of art, in every department of science, in every physical department, improvement and progress wero writ. ten on the face of the country; and ailow me to aay to you that there is one art which is quite equai to the several I have mentioned— inthe dramatic art which keeps alive the classical effu. sions of such men as Knowles, Balwer, Shakspere, which is ilustrated by the genius of falma, Kean, Cooke and | Kembie. In this great country, whatever criticisms may have been made upon the career of Mr. Forrest, he has | stood here for twenty-five years at the head of that pro: feseion. (Applause in court, which was Suppressed.) ‘Not | only that, but unchallenged and unreproached as a man, } ag @ brother, as a citizen, as a friend §wholly unreproash- | ed or irreproschable. The only assault upon bis charas- | ter has been made in the case to which your attention is now called, and it is for you to say what, under the cir. cumstances of this cage, assuming them to be such as I have stated, should be your verdict. If you could restore the plaintif to the content and peace that he eojoyed at the time these charges were made against him—if you could bring back to him the happiness that he knew be tore this discovery, which was destructive to his peace, we should requiré no other, certainly no additional re- ward, Gentlemen, it is not in your power, in the fair administration of justice, to do 80. Judge Hilton then charged the jury. He said that the duty of the Court in these cases is to define what in law constitutes a libel, and then it becomes the duty of the jury to say whether the publication falls within the defl- niten, ‘and as incidenta! to that, to determine whether it is calculated to injure the plaintiff's reputation. The law declares that every publication, either by writing, print- ing or pictures, which charges upon or mputes to any person that which renders him liable to any punishment, or which is calculated to make him infamous, odious or | ridiculous, is prima facte « }ibel, and implies malice in the author and pabiisher towards the person concerning whom the publication is made, It is not necessary that the pub- lication should be scandalous to constitute ita libel. It is enough if its tendency is to produce an ill opinion of the | person referred to, er makes him disliked or hated, or | brings bim into disgrace, or lessens bim in the estimation | of his his fellow men. And itis immaterial whether it was intended by it to injure the party complaining. The quos- tion is whether such was the tendency of the publication, If witbin these rules the article is deemed to be libellous, | then actual proof of malice is not required beyond proving | the publication of the article complained of. The law pre. | sumes the publication tobave been malicious, and auy ex- | cuse, justification or extenuation that can be shown must proceed from the defendant. In this caae the plaintiff has Lot relied alone upon this legal presumption, but has tn- | troduced evidence tending to show that the statement or | premiees upon which the publication assumes to proceed are uptrue infact. And this additional evidence is, it scoma, relied upon to aggravate or increase the damages | to which the plaintiff may be entitled. It may or may not have the desired effect upon vour minds. I dismiss it with the remark that a statement of matter as fact, that which is false, is in the law deemed mali- ciong; and proof of the falsity, standing unex. lained, is equivalent to proving actual malice. fn considering the publication, you must look at it asa whole, in all its parts; bearing in mind that its tendency ‘and intent must be gathered from its entire reading, having in view the effect with which it purports to have been pubished. But it must not be un wood that this rule can be carried so far as to permit wd pte to mix up ina publication slander with praise and escape tie conso- quences, upon the theory that as the bane and the sati- dote were administered at the same instant of time no injary could result. The jury are to disregard ail sions to delay in bringing this euit; the law allows it to be brought within two years, and it appears that this cause was commenced within that period; they would disregard the depositions, the former triais and the divorce suit. I forbear any comment upon the pub- lication Jwhich the plaintiff makes the subject of his complaint before us; whether it is a libel or not is a_ question fact, as J have already stated. Thoee questions are entirely for the jary, and are as exclusively theirs as questions of law exclu- sively belonging to the Coart. By neither encroaching upon the province of the other we will not ouly administer the law properly, but will assist g the administration of that even handed justice which it is the intent of the law to accomplish. If you find that the publication was libe!- lous, judged by the rules and definition I have stated, you are then to ascertain and determine to what extent the plaintiff bas been injured by it, what darnages has he sug- taped, and which are to be graduated by the intent of the defendant; and 1", in your judgment, the publication was malicious, you 8! of compengation, but may, by a sincere verdict, at once impoee a punishment on the defendant and hold up ao ex- ample to the community, Controlled by theae views you will reuder what shovid be your verdict, and render it for such an amount a3 in your Judgment the case demands, of bearing in mind that it is your privilege, if you find the | publication to be libeliods, that you may award su damages as will not only compensate the plaintiff, but will Punish the defendant. The jury were directed to bring in a sealed verdict on Weducsday (this) morning. Shipments of Candles to California, 70 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.

The shipments from January 1 to November 1, 1858 (ten months), were 85,550 “packages, and from November 1 to April 1, 1869, 140,284 packages. The stock in San Fi ieeo on the Let of March was 166,000 packages, most of h is held by the Combinations’ The eatire consumption during the months of January and February did not reach seven thousand packages (levs than 3,590 per month).

This volume, by a surgeon of our East India squadron, gives graphic pictures of Siamese and Chinese domestic manners, of which the author hag had more familiar glimpses than usually fall within the opportunities of a foreigner. His desor!ptions are vivid and glowing, and are redolent of the Oriental atmosphere. The sketch of Soo-chau, ths Paris of China, is dashed off with a vigor and freshness which present that singular city to us in all the reality of tus picturesque situations.

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN GHOGRAPHICAL AND SratisticaL Socrery. Vol. 1, Noa. 1 and 2; January and February, 1859. This is a monthly journal of thirty-two pages, establish- ed by the society whose name it beara, for the purpose of pubiisbing in a form adapted to preservation and conve. pient use the constantly augmenting accessions to our sources of information on geographical and statistical sub" jects. There is an eminent want of such a work, particu- larly ag regards American geography and statistics, and ‘we are glad the filling of it has been undertaken by so capable and trustworthy a society. The two numbers un- der notice are gotten up in excellent style as regards typo- grapbical arrangement and execution, and we trust they aro the promise of better matter to come. We are led to expreas this hope from discrepancies found when we had occasion recently to refer to the Paraguay article and map contained in its first number. The Journal sets forth with the announcement that “ authors are alone responsible for the contents of their respective statements,”’ to which fact are, no doubt, to be attributed the discrepancies above no- tied, and which could have been corrected by reference to accessible authorities. We would suggest to the mem- bers whether it would not be more conducive to the good standing of the society to subject everything which it puts before the world with its official imprinvatur to revision by competent editor? The enterprise is a good one, and wortby of a generous support from the public. Discovenms in Noata any Cenrran Arrica. By Henry Barth.

Dr. John H. Johnaton testified that the carotid artery was completely severed, except the external coat; the wound was the cauge of death. On cross-examination the Doctor said that the knife was an ordinary pocket knife; the deceased was a larger and stronger man than the er. ‘The testimony for dofence went to snow that the deceased gave eperag ayer to the prisoner for the commission of the act; he struck the prisoner several times on the head and shoulders with a club. Counsel for the prisoner having summed up, the District Attorney addressed the Court Jury for the prosecution, and admitted the provocation given by the deceased to the prisoner, and in consideration of the unreliable nature of | Character of the witnesses, he would consider that justice | would be sufficiently vindicated by a verdict of man- slaughter in the firet degree. | ‘The prosecution agrecd to submit the case to the ju without a charge from the Court, but as the prisoner’s counsel did not consent the Judge charged the jury on the law, defining the offences of murder and manslaughter.
