The matter of which plaintiff complains appeared in' our adveit'isjnfg columns, and of course we had no part in its preparation, but we desire at once, and before .any communication takes place between our legal advisers and those t of the plaintiff, to admit, in the fullest terms, that, if due care had been exercised by us, the advertisement would not have appeared, and tint the publication can neither be justified or excused;. And, without regard to the result of the legal proceedings, we express to Sir Joseph Ward our unqualified regret that such imputations should have found a place in our columns. As we have made clear, the matter cqnuplainwl of was contained in an advertisement, and' has no relation to editorial comment,, which, as our readers 'are aware, tho Post is wont to justify.
