THE MIRROR of LITERATURE, AMUSE-
MENT, AND INSTRUCTION.
The SECOND VOLUME of THE MIRROR, for the Tear 1843, is
now completed. It is splendidly Illustrated, and will be found to
comprehend a vast variety of Historical and Scientific Information ;
while Original Fictions of great interest, Voyages and Travels,
Poetry and Satire, are not wanting. Some of the most striking
Historical Tales which the season has produced, talcs not composed
of maudlin sensibilities, but valuable illustrations of the annals and

manners of former day;. Translations of Standard Works of French
and German Authors by the ablest hands, for " The Mirror" ex-
clusively, have also within the same period adorned its columns.
It may safely be affirmed that the Volumes of " The Mirror" for the
year 1843 present more rational entertainment and solid information
combined—more to gratify the eye, and improve the mind, than any
rival publication. The general varieties which, for more than twenty
years, have received the stamp of public appObation—historical
facts, amusing anecdotes, graphic descriptions of remarkable loca-
lities and celebrated edifices, ancient and modern, will successively
appear, with Embellishments of a superior order.

SPAIN.

MADRID, FEB. 2.—Several more arrests took place here
last night, and many of the leading men of the Liberal
party have sought safety from the persecution to which
they are exposed, by temporarily absenting themselves
from their homes. It was reported yesterday that Ar-
guelles, the two Calatravas, and other prominent men
among the old Progresistas, had been arrested ; but
hitherto they have not been meddled with, although their
names, with those of many other Liberals, were seen
on a list in the hands of a police agent, and a strict sur-
veillance is exercised over their movements. There are
upwards of 400 police agents now employed in this sort
of pursuit. General Concha left Madrid yesterday, and
went, as is given out, to pay a visit to a friend at Aran-
d shippinghere, which

LORD OKORGE RENTINCK V. CONNOP.

In this case there had been a demurrer to several pleas, and
Lord Demist.; proceeded to give the judgment of the Court. The
action was one of assumpsit, and there had been several points dig.
cussed, on various occasions, as to the validity of one of the pleas,
which the Court would not waste time in referring to now, because it
held the opinion that the declaration was altogether insufficient.
The declaration set forth an agreement made between the parties
to the effect that in the running for the Grand Duke Michael
Stakes the sum of fifty pounds for each colt or filly, should
be subscribed by the owners, or namers, of such
colts or fillies; that both the plaintiff and the defendant, with
divers other persons, had become subscribers to these stakes ; that
the plaintiff named four colts and one filly ; that the defendant
named two colts and one filly; that thereupon the plaintiff, at the
request of the defendant, and in consideration of the premises named,
promised and agreed with defendant to perform all things alike and
upon the same terms ; that the race was duly run ; and that the horse
of the plaintiff won it, whereby the defendant became liable to
pay three sums of fifty pounds each. It had been slightly con.
tended, on the part of the defendant, that the race being for
more than fifty pounds, was note legal one; but it was strongly and
distinctly urged that no action could properly be maintained against
the defendant, as, by the 16th of Charles the Second, it was enacted
that no action could be maintained to recover a stake of a greater
amount than one hundred pounds, yet that, if paid down, the tran-
saction would be a legal one,—the object of the statute being to pre.
vent persons venturing-for more than a hundred pounds,
except for money paid down, and in the present case,
the stake was for one hundred and fifty. The plaintiff, in support
of his averment that his action might be maintained, had referred
to two cases, neither of which, however, in his (Lord Denman's)
opinion, applied to the present case; because, In each of them
the sum did not exceed one hundred pounds; but it was
argued that as there was no contract for credit, the statute
did net apply; but the Court was clearly of the opinion that the
words of the statute could not be limited to a case of express con-
tract for credit, but applied to all cases of more than one hundred
pounds, and not paid down immediately ; and, where it was neces-
sary to enforce the claim, the case was within the words, as well
as the spirit of the act, the objet of which was well undersood to
be that of restraining the practice of gambling. Therefore, the
Court was clearly of opinion that judgment must be entered up for
the defendant.

MISSION.

Mr. ROSS said the Right lion. Baronet (Sir R. Pee,
would recollect the question put to him- the other nigh
by the lion. Member for Finsbury (Mr. Wakley) to know
whether he had any objection to place some tenant
farmers on the landlord and tenant commission in order
to dissipate the suspicions which undoubtedly in some
quarters attached to it. When the Right Hon. Baronet
expressed his doubts whether such tenant farmers could
be found to undertake the duty, he (Mr. Ross) had been
of opinion that plenty could be found. The next morn-
ing he (Mr. Roos) had received information which satisfied
him that in the west and south of Ireland plenty of
tenant-farmers, with rents varying from 2,0001. to 4001.,
or 3004, could be found willing to undertake the duty.
The Right Hon. Baronet expressed an inclination rather
to yield to the wishes so expressed by the Hon. Member
for Finsbury. The question he wished to put was,
whether, as there was no difficulty in find-
ing respectable_ tenant-farmers to _ act upon the

commission, without salary, the Right Hon. Baronet
would consent to nominate some ; and, supposing his
answer to be in the negative, whether he would consent
to associate some of the humbler class of farmers with
those already named in the Commission, paying them for
their time and trouble ?
Sir R. PEEL said the Hon. Gentlemen must have
misunderstood the answer which he (Sir Robert Peel)
gave the other evening to the question of the Hon.
Member for Finsbury (Mr. Wakley.) He meant to say,
and he thought he did say on that occasion that he was
not prepared to agree to any alteration in the constitu-
tion of the Committee. The Committee had made con-
siderable progress in their labours,_ indeed he had reason
to suppose some portion of their Report would soon be
ready, and he was, therefore, not prepared to sanction
any interference with it.
t Dlr. ROSS said he thought the Right Hon. Baronet
had not answered in a satisfactory manner the second
part of the question put to him—namely, whether the
humblest class of the farmer tenantry were to be exa-
mined before the Commission ?
Sir R. PEEL said that he was most anxious to con-
sult the opinions of all classes ; but still he thought
that the objects of the commission would not at all
served by the indiscriminate admission of such .evidence_
as that alluded to by the Hon. Member. -
THE GAME LAWS.
Mr. BRIGHT moved for a return of the number of
persons who had offended agamst the Game Laws, and
had been convicted at the several sessions throughout

England and Wales during the year 1843, specifying
the punishment and penalties inflicted, and in what
county and upon whose property the alleged offence was
committed.
Lord J. RUSSELL wished to know whether the
Committee upon the land tenure in Ireland was in-
structed to report generally upon the subject, or to re-
port upon only one branch of it, and if so, was that par-
ticular branch left to their own discretion?
Sir J. GRAHAM, who spoke in an extremely low
tone of voice, was understood to say that the nature of
the Report was left wholly to the discussion of the Com-
mittee.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, FEB. 9.—There
has been a considerable amount of business done in
foreign wools this week, and prices generally may be
quoted a shade higher. This may perhaps be attri-
buted in part to the advance realised at the London
wool sales just terminated.
ENGLISU WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, FEB. 9.—The
sales of combing wools have continued brisk this
week ; and prices continue to have an upward ten-
dency. Clothing wools sell more freely than of late, at
a further advance on last week's prices ; but neither of
them are equal to the quotations asked by the growers
in the country.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, FED. 9.—Although
this week's transactions in combing wools have
scarcely been so extensive as the last—yet they have
exceeded the arrivals, and prices may be quoted a
shade higher. Low clothing wools are in brisk
demand at advanced rates. _ _

LEEDS.—The principal articles in demand at our
cloth halls still continue to be for tweeds and
cloths of low qualities, which have been bought
pretty freely this week, and in middle qualities there
has also been a little more done than for some time past.

THE QUEEN V. THE MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL

RAILWAY COMPANY.
This was an indictment against the defendants for a
nuisance, for obstructing the public highway in New
Bailey-street, Salford, by the erection in the carriage-
way of that street four pillars, on which they had erected
a bridge, ewer which they had carried a portion of their
railway. The case was tried at Liverpool, before Mr.
Justice Cresswell, and a verdict passed for the Crown.
Mr. WORTLEY now moved for a rule nisi to set the
verdict aside, and have it entered for the defendants, or
for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection by the
Learned Judge, or at all events that the verdict should
be confined to that part only of the works which were the
subject of the indictment. The bridge had been erected
in the course of the construction of a railway joining the
Manchester and Liverpool, and Manchester and
Leeds, and Manchester and Bolton Railways, in
one common terminus. The Act of 1826, which was
the original Act forming the Company, gave them
power to erect bridges over public highways and streets,
for the purpose of carrying on their works. An Act
was passed in 1839 empowering the Company to con-
struct a junction railway, which gave them all the powers
of the first Act. That road was not constructed, and
in 1842 an Act was obtained for the construction of the
present railroad, continuing to them all the powers of
the two former Acts, and under these Acts they had the
power, as he contended, of erecting these pillars. He
had to complain of the summing up of the Learned
Judge at common law. He had told the jury that no
jury would be doing their duty who could find the erec-
tion of an obstruction in the public street to be anything
but a nuisance.

Lord DENMAN—I doubt if be went far enough. Be
ought to have told the jury that any obstruction what-
ever, preventing the passage over a public highway, was
a nuisance in the eye of the law.
Mr. WORTLEY apprehended that there must be some-
thing more than mere obstruction to make a nuisance.
Beside 3, he contended that, under a proper construction
of the Company's Acts, they were authorised to erect
these pillars. There was only one single pillar in the
carriage-way, and he submitted that, at all evenrs, the
writ of abatement ought only to issue as to that one
pillar. lie trusted, that if such were the case, some eem.

UNION•HALL.

William Thornton, a young man, was charged before
Mr. Traill with letting off fireworks.

A policeman stated that on the preceding night while
on duty he saw the defendant come out of a baker's shop
neatly opposite to this court, and placing a cracker on
the pavement, then ignited it, and it soon exploded. He
was about to let off a second, when he (the policeman)
secured him, and he made a most violent resistance.

The father of the defendant complained loudly that his
son should have been taken into custody for merely let-
ting off a squib, and that he (the father) was determined
on indicting the policeman at the sessions.
Mr. TRAILL said that accidents of the most frightful
nature were caused by the practice of letting off fire-
works in the public thoroughfares, and that it was a por-
tion of the policeman's duty to see, particularly at this
period, that it was not allowed. The Magistrate then
inflicted a mitigated penalty on the defendant, and told
him at the same time, if he had any complaint to make
against the policeman, he must apply to the Commis-
sioners, and if they found he had just grounds, they
would then have the case investigated at the Court. The
police have had particular directions to take all persons
into custody found letting off fire-works this day.

CLERKEIV WELL.

Mr. Thomas Ashworth, a chemist and druggist,
was charged with embezzling property to a consider•
able amount belonging to his employer, and with at-
tempting to commit suicide.
John Latham, a Bow•-street officer, deposed that at
three o'clock on the previous day the prisoner came
to Bow-street station, and asked witness if he had not
received information of a quantity of books having
been stolen from a Mr. Ambler, and on witness re-
plying in the affirmative, he said, would you know
the man who stole them ? Witness said he w ould
not. The prisoner then exclaimed, " I an► the man
who committed that robbery, and I wish to give my-
self up." Ile was then locked up.
Mr. Amhler, a wholesale bookseller, residing at
27, Compton-street, Clerken well, said about a month
ago the prisoner came to him, assured him that he
was in indigent circumstances, and requested some
kind of employment. Witness, k;,ow ing that his
friends were highly respectable, in some time after
entrusted him with Prayer•books and Bibles as
samples for country customers. In a few days after
he received a letter from the prisoner, dated from
Bexley, in Kent, in which he stated that he had lost
the books, and requested forgiveness. The prisoner's
friends having promised to make good the loss,
witness commissioned the prisoner to take some books
to Mr. Young, in Titchfield-street, Soho. The
prisoner delivered the parcel, and borrowed money
from Mr. Young. Witness subsequently learned
that he had pawned the first parcel of books in several
' pawn-offices.
The hooks were produced by several pawnbrokers'
men.

The prisoner's step-father, an elderly gentleman,
residing in Baker-street, Clerken well, stated that the
prisoner was insane ; his father had been seven years
in a lunatic asylum, and died mad there, and his
brother, a solicitor, cut his throat. The prisoner's
father had predicted that his son would die mad and
he verily believed the prediction would he verified.
The prisoner had twice attempted to commit suicide—
once by throwing himself into the New River. He
had been in affluent circumstances, but was now
much reduced.

Inspector Barton deposed that on the previous
night, a short time after the prisoner was locked up

in the cell, the constable, upon going the "rounds,"
saw the prisoner suspended there by his neckcloth.
He was at once cut down, and was quite black in the
face, and animation suspended. The police.surgeon
was sent for, and he was, after a considerable in-

terval, restored.
Mr. GREENWOOD directed Mr. Taylor to be seat
for, that he might examine him regarding the state of
his mind. Mr. Taylor came and did so, but statea
the result to the magistrate in private.
Mr. GREENWOOD decided upon remanding the pri-
soner, and added that Mr. Taylor had required fur-
ther time to inquire into his state of mind.
The prisoner, who conducted himself throughout
with perfect composure and decorum, was remanded.

WESLEYAN MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
At a full MEETING of the Committee of this Society,
held at the Centenary-hall and Mission.house, Bishopsgate-street-
within, London, on Wednesday, October 30, 1844 (the PRESI-
DENT of the Conference in the chair), it was unanimously en.
solved,
1. That after a careful reconsideration of certain imputations
against the character and proceedings of the Rev. Thomas B.
Freeman, the Superintendent of the Society's Missions on the Go'd
Coast, as recently renewed in a letter, under the signature of
" Omega," published in the Times newspaper of Friday last, this
•mmittee are perfectly convinced that the said Imputations are
altogether calumnious and untrue; and that the defensive explana-
tions and statements of Mr. Freeman, first transmitted by him to
the Secretaries in a letter, dated June 96, 1843, and now repeated
and confirmed by him personally, in their presence, are entirely sa.
tisfactory on all the points to which " Omega" has referred.

2. That the renewal of these slanderous imputations is the more
culpable, because the person from whom they are understood to
proceed has had repeated opportunies and invitations, in the course
ef the last fifteen months, to appear before the proper authorities for
the purpose of substantiating, if he could, the accusations preferred,
which he has hitherto declined or neglected to do.
3. That, fortified in their view of Mr. Freeman's case, by the
written assurances of his brother Missionaries in Western Africa,
by various other documents long in their possession, by passages in
the former communications of " Omega" himself, and by the spot).
taneous and decided testimony of several highly respectable and
disinterested gentlemen, who have observed his proceedings, and
borne honourable witness to his labours and usefulness, this Com-
mittee deem it right to assure the public of their entire and undi-
minished confidence in Mr. Freeman's integrity, and of their high
admiration of his eminent zeal and devotedness to the great work
in which he has been engaged at the Gold Coast, in Ashanti, and
elsewhere, and which it has pleased Almighty God to bless already
with so considerable a measure of success.

WOOD V. WEDGWORTH.
This was an action of trespass, to which the defendant
pleaded a right of way. On this issue was joined, and

question was whether a way through two closes, which
had been long used as a thoroughfare, was a public way
or not.
