SINGULAR LIBEL CAsR.-Mr Webb, of the Comier


nd Enquirer, has announced his intention of inst-


tuting legal proceedings against Greeley, of the


Tribune, tor libel, in charging him with bribery in
: the memorable case OF the United States Bank.
This will be very curious case, indeed, involving
almost as much interest as Mackenzie's brochure
In this pie, also, we mean TO have very large fin
ger, as we Will probably be one OF the principal wit
nesses IN the case, Tor we connected with the
Courier and Enquirer during the period in which
these transactions took place, and very intimately,
too, as editor and oonfrere with Mr. Webb The
history OF these transactions has never vet been
fully gwen, but we mean TO set TO work In day or
two and disclose all that we know about it, No
doubt The United States Bank, through Nicholas
Biddle, loaned money TO the Courier and Enquirer.
but we doubt, II there was any bribery in the case
whether Mr. Webb should be Justly charged with
such an offence. To eur knowledge, NJ NJ Noah
had much more TO do with some OF those doubtful
transactions than Webb. Al all events, we are dis
posed TO think that if any bribery were perpera,ed
at all It was the types, aad not the persons in the
Courier establishment, that formed the subject Of
the operation. However we shall investigate the
whole affair in few days.


LABOR Losr.-Corcoran X Riggs, highly respecta-
BILE bankers al Washington, are taking the trouble
OF writing TO a miserable and obscure print in
this city called the News, in order themselves
right regard TO the transactions in Wall street This
is entirely labor lost, II is a matter of very little
consequence what the Neics, or any one connected
with il, publishes respecting bankers brokers' with
The exception of a very small clique who have deep
interest IN the stated preaching OF the gospel at
Sandy Hill and other places. No one reads the Ne,cs
or pays the slightest attention 10 its statements
few obscure brokers, who live in dingy cellars in
Wall street, may It's columns 10 run up or run
down some particular stocks, so that out of the
difference" they may purchase dinner pair of
breeches but that Is the of its influence in
this region. A weak, ridiculous, and wishy-
washy concern than the Necs, either as a paper or
an organ, was never started by the Democrats in
this city. Even Slamm, Bang q Co., with all their
flummery and fury, infinitely more influential,
and are rapidly taking the lead as the organ Of the
Democracy here.
