 Latest from Colombia.-The editors of the Journal Of Commerce have received Mara caibO letter 0f Oct. 18th, containing intelIl- gence from BOgOta to Sept 18th.

 The MaracaibO letter of Oct. 18th, says: '' Our communication is again stopped with BOgSla, much to the disadvantage of this place. Rio Hache has declared itself in favor l of Venezuela. The views of Bolivar can no longer remain in doubt that he aimed at ab- solute pow CT is most certain A vessel from Curacoa belonging to Carthagena touched at Rio Hache, not knowing the change that had taken place. She was taken possession of and sent here, where she arrived this morning. | There was found on board of her, confidential correspondence from many of Bolivar's off cers at CuracOa, who were sent there in the hope of making a a-revolution in Venezuela in favor of Bolivar. One letter from General Briceno MOndez, (brOther-in-law to BOlivar) says there is little hope of effecting change in Venrznela, but advises to have done with the foolish idea Of constitution and liberty, 1 proceed tO establish his authority by force 1 which advice, if Bolivar follows, it will prob- lo1, ,lar bNnsrn Ax, c.A~ P Hs... IL, A 1 the date of our last accounts he was at MOln- pox, on the Magdalena, on his way to BOgota, where revolution had been effected in his favor, and complete overthrow of the liberal party. The city was besieged 20 days, and 1 in storning the bridge leading to the town, l 300 were killed. Civil war has thus com ] menced in this devoted country, and our only hope is, that it may nut continue. General | UUlaneta is at the head of the government till Bolivar arrives, and General BricenO was in possession of the Vallies of Cucuta. Here all is perfectly quiet at present, and as this place is important as key to New. Grenada, Paez has sent some of his most faithful troops, the Llaner0s, to- garrison the place. They are great rascals, but brave men, and give much trouble to the citizens"

 Joseph Badger Vs. Charles BaH.-'The case under this title to which we made aIIusiOn a few days since was decided yesterday in the U. s. Circuit Court. It was an action in its technical form, for trespass. with force and arms, against the plaintiffs daughter, now a young lady about 19. It was given in cvi- dence that the plaintiff, soon after his removal from Boston to Brooklyn, having occasion for the services of physician in his family, call ed upon the defendant, a licensed practitioner of very respectable character, who according ly attended and was received into the family 1 with all the confidence that usually follows that intimate relation. In July 1923, MT. Badger was compelled to go to sea, and pre- vious to his departure solicited the friendly attentions and medical advice of the defend ant towards his wife, who was in delicate health. In the latter part of August, Mrs. Badger was confined. The defendant attend ed her. On the third day after her confne- ment, hc called, and on his return from her chamber, requested one of the children to in. vite Sarah, the daughter, who was in the gar den, into the parloY. She obeyed the sum- mons. and sat down along side of the Doctor. After some inquiries respecting her health, the alleged trespass took place, the particulars { of which we cannot with prOpriety detail.- The young lady however tainted from terror. Wheh-she was in some measure restored to her senses, he arose and took his leave. That night the family were alarmed by her cries, after she had retired tO he'd, and on hurrying to her room they found her almost bereft of reason, exclaiming that !" Dr.. Ball was in the room and was under the bed ;" and it was not until she was taken to her mothers room that her agitation was sufficiently calmed to enable her to sleep. The next day, the moth- CT, feeble as she was, dictated letter to the Doctor, expressive of her feelings at the out rage he had committed and the matter re- mained until the return of the father. The health of the young lady continued much in the same state for about two months. Her reason was impaired-the life of Mrs. B. was greatly endangered, and the domestic peace of the family destroyed. These facts were sworn to by the young lady.- her sister. and her sisters husband. Thomas Rand.

 On the part of the defendant, it was con- tended that the daughter had been in feeble health for some time previous. that the de- fendant had visited her in his professional ca pacity and prescribed medicines for her, that she was subject to hysterical affections.--and | that her whole story was the fiction of an hysterlcal illusion, and not the reality of actual lite. That the state of her health occasiOned a temporary alteration of intellect. and that her distempered imagination had cOIjnred up this fabrication, from what was nothing more than medical examination, with view to ascertain the cause of her illness. It was maintained that this prosecution was the re- snlt of family combination. gat np to extort | mOnNv frann Hha n,Ue,. ,~hn xvaS knnsvn fN
