SINGULAR LIBEL CAsE.-Mr. Webb Of the Comier


nd Enquirer, has announced his intention Of insti-
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 Mackenxie's brochure
In this pie, also, we mean 10 have very large fin
ger, as we Will probably be of the principal wit
nesses IN the case, for we were connected with the
Courier and Enquirer during the period in which
these transactions took place, and very intimately,
too, as editor and confrers 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
biddie' loaned money to the Courier and Enquirer
but we doubt, if there was any bribery in the case
whether Mr. Webb should be justly charged with
such an offence. To eur knowledge, M. M. Noah
mad 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 perpetra,ed
at all, II was the types, aad not the persons in the
Courier establishment, that formed the subject of
the operation. However, shall investigate the
whole affair in few days.


LABOR Losr-Corcoran Il Riggs, highly respecta-

BILE bankers at Washington, are taking the trouble
of writing notes 10 miserable and obscure print
this city called the News, in order TO set themselves
right in regard TO the transactions in Wall street This
is entirely labor lost, is matter of very little
consequence what the Ne,cs, any connected
with il, publishes respecting bankers or brokers, with
the exception of 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
pays the slightest attention to its statements. A
few obscure brokers, who live in dingy cellars in
Wall street, may its columns TO 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 amount of its influence
this region. A more weak, ridiculous, and wishy-
washy concern than the Ne,cs, either as paper or
an organ, was never started by the Democrats in
this cry. Even Slamm Bang u Co., with all their
fiummery and fury, infinitely more influential,
and are rapidly taking the lead as the organ Of the
Democracy here.
