Butler, a lawyer and politician was plaintiff and tho Editor of tho veil Courier and Journal defendant. The ar ticle in the paper charged that Benjamin F. But ler was a notorious demagogue and political scoundrel. That he made a speech In the Citv Hall, in Lowell, last November, and "that having swallowed tUjec or fonr extra glasses of liquor, spread himself." That "Nature" had set her seal upon him, by giving hiin a face, which, like a wrecker's light, warns all whom it may concern, to be on thelook out while in tho vicinity ; and that as tho uncouth figure of the demagogue swung about, it is said to have borne a striking resemblance to that of a Bornese ape, &c. The Jury returned a verdict of-not guilty on tho first count, but guilty on ho second. From mis it appear mat uiey ouiieveu uim to be a po litical scoundrel, bnt did not befieve he resem bled a Bornese ape. The folTowing is tho testi mony on the first count. ' ' ' " . Mr. Whi elock said I heard a speech by But ler when he read extracts for the Courier. He spoke of the mills ; he said if the profits of the mills were reduced he did not care; he mid that fki officers in Bnslon had lived long tmmgk on theiard.trninpf of i)wKtpcrattts, and supported miaMtts from the props ; and that he did not wish to' see a collision between the operatives and stockholders, but if the mills 'were reduced to ashes, tho fault would be on the stockholders ; ji-urfd to U i-Aoiied, and made violent ges tures ; he made a violent speech. Butler spread himself that Is, he made a great show, and was very violent. CONGRESSIONAL. The proceedings of Congress are still nninter cstijfi. Numerous petitions were presented to the Senate, on Monday, many of which were ad verse to the renewal of Woodwork's Tatent. The extension of the Capitol and the Iowa land bills are sfiil before the Senate. In the House, on Monday, a memorial denying the right of the Delegate from New Mexico to his seat in the House, and charging the Governor nf that Territory with improjierly interfering in the election, was debated during nearly the whole sitting.- The Washington Uuion in endeavoring to get the party who have a majority in Congress, to quit their electioneering speeches, and attend to tho public business, says : "Divisions have crept Into the rauks of the Democracy, who, instead of uniting to advance measures and principles, are disputing abont the relative claims of this and that man to the presidency, and about tho means which are resorted to to give eflect to particular preferences."

"Hit him in the fore quarter 1" ' Run him in the rattle-run 1" etc., &c. Who can wonder that "the great American tra gedian" himself, at the very top of his profession, and at tho most lucrative and brilliant period; of his career, should h'lve written to his wife that he was "disgusted with this vagabond life!" This ex pression occurs in the Forrest correspondence pro duced iu the late trial for divorce. By the way, Forrest is said to have taken tho initiatory against sundry witnesses for perjuring themselves in the recent caso. The conversion of dwellings into stores p:o gresses at a marvellous rate, in this city. "Room ! room I" is the constant cry of our Titan, Com merce, as it elbows its way among the receding precinte of the resident population, and crowds the otisted dwellers in their somewhat unwilling up town march. Some of our prolific composers ought to st this march to music. Five years ago, there was no largo N. Y. com merce houses out of the immediate vicinity of Wall street, but not a few have already "pulled up stakes," and gone iuto Broadway, aud since tho recent exodus of tho famous silk importers (Mess Alfred, Edwards & Co.) from Pearl street to Park Place, theso commercial migrations are likely to become more sud more numerous daily. Where stood for many years the Park Theatre, with its adjacent club-houses aand saloons, there lias risen a spacious block, occupied by mercan tile houses, and the Park fountain, designed to feast tlie eyes and lull the tired sense of loungers, gentlemen of elegant leisure, and children's nur ses, now jets its sparkling shower aliu.ist exclu sively to "The Trade." Park Place is a noble, wide, though short street, connecting Broadway and Church streets, faces the Park ami terminates in the academic groves of Columbia Co'.lego. It was once a spot of aristocratic retirement, despite its proximity to the multitudinous and noisy cur rent of Broadway, like a secluded nook in a mighty river, but it has become transformed, al most as by magic, and how 1 Why thus."'

To the uninin gled surprise of their brother importers, they erected and took possession of an immense and magnificent brown freestone store -in Park Place. "Strange no pni had ever thought of it before." But it was ' just tho spot," said their competitors, Not a little gratuitous wrath has been expended on the New fork, Philadelphia, and Southwestern Transportation Company, because they refused to receive Now York freight, and it was regarded as a triok of the Philudelphians to obstruct our trade and compel Southern and Western merchant to make their purchases in Fhiladel hia. The fact is that the Transportation Company had more freight offered than they could possibly carry, and as they could transport only a portion, It was nat ural enough that they shonld give tho preference to that in which (hey bad the most interest, viz: that which was to be conveyed from Philadelphia to the South and West., Tbe line is owned In Philadelphia, was erected for the use of tho Phil adclphians, and no one out of Philadelphia has a como known to the country as selling sncb im mense quantities of goods, that any temporary obstruction in any one of the several lines of transportation 8outb and West was an Incalcnlable injury to them . -' : ;7 " ;.; ., '.'

The New JYork Herald of Sifhday last says : "We have just learned from somo passengers on tho Erie Railroad, that on Thursday last, a fright ful accident occurred to tho up train, between Narrowsburg and Deposit, by which' tiie cars were driven off the trabkl aud down an embank ment sixteon or soventecn feet high, smashing two or three cars, burning others, und injuring several of the passengers seriously some, it is feared, fatally. One child had its arm broken, and was otherwise so injured that it was appro hended it would not live probably it is already dead. Others were crippled and bruised in a horrible 'teanner, though we aro happy to say none were actually killed ou tho spot. Had it not been for an accumulation of ice somo six feOt deep, left on the margin of the Delaware, after the ice on tho river had broken up, the conse quences would have been terrible, for the whole train would have been plunged Into the water, and several lives would have been lost ; but the icy barrier presented such an obstruction as ar rested the progress of tho locomotive. Tlie burn ing of some of tho cars was caused by tho stoves being broken and the fire being dashed about." and the Mexicans about TOO, but at an early stngo of the action a large number of the former were irized with a panic and fled, so that the contest was maintained by a little more than fifty men.
