THE DIFFICULTIES OF JOUR NALISM.
THE two subjoined paragraphs came out in papers by the last nail. The first narrates the exercise at a bit of despotic and unjust power, after the manner of a certain Acting Attorney General whoin we wot of. The second, from the Illus trated News, records the fact that an effort is being made to pay honor to the memory of Leigh Hunt, for the reasons assigned by the writer. The Acting Attorney General above referred to, will feel comfort in the reflection that he has again put into operation against a jour ualist the barbarous law from which poor Leigh Huat suffered. To be sure, Inut felt the law in its full rigour, for no defence of truth or justification was per- mitted to him. In the more recent case such an injustice was attempted "by mistake." The defendant is allowed to plead that he said nothing but what was

though the alleged libels are said to danger the peace, amity, and concord between Great Britain and Portugal, there has not yet been any declaration of wer by the latter power against its an- cient ally!
