LAW AND POLICE.

A woman named Elizabeth Cole, who has long been
known at thejustice-room as a woman of most idle, drunken,
and disorderly habits, was charged at the Mansion. house
with having smashed a pane of glass. She said she did it to
procure three months lodging in Bridewell, as she had more
than once done before. The Lord Mayor committed her for
fourteen days. •
A gentleman came to the justice-room te make a com-
plaint against a publisher •of an illustrated journal in the
French language, containing woodcut representations cal-
culated to excite ridicule against the Christian religion. He
considered it necessary, he said, to keep the name of the
publiiher private, lest the offensive work might gain a
large circulation amongst those who derived amusement
from such exhibitions, but did not think himself justified,
having'seen it publicly exhibited for sale, in not informing
the highest author;ty in, the City of so serious an offence ,
against morality and against the law. He had entered the
shop for the purpose •of expostulating with the publisher;
who, the moment the matter was complained of, offered one
of the numbers for sale. The Lord Mayor advised him. to
give information to the society established for the purpose of
putting a stop to such publications.
John White was charged with stealing a chest of tea, the
property of Mr. Williams' of Beer-lane, Thames-street. The
prisoner, who was stated to be an old offender; was com-
mitted to Bridewell as a thief and a vagabond for three
months.

Elizabeth Monck, a woman about 35 years of age, attired
in mourning, and who has frequently been convicted of rob-
beries perpetrated by her in a most adroit and ingenious,
manner; was charged at Marylebone with having stolen
articles of jewellery, the property of P. S. Cote, Esq.,
solicitor, 12, Park-road, Regent's fark,-to whose house she
went under pretence -of hiring as a servant. The prisoner
was remanded.
Henry Johnson, a young man of Jewish appearance, was
charged at Marlborough-street with stealing seventeenhair-
brushes from the shop of Mr. Grafftey, brushmaker, No. 20,
Warwick-street. He was fully committed.
John Shields, a wire-worker, in the Westminster-
road, was brought up for final examination at Union-hall,
charged with forging and uttering several bills of • exchange,
with intent to defraud Aaron Smith, of No. 3,-Clayland-road,
Clapham. He was fully committed.
Francesco Lanchar, a Spanish youth, 18 yeafs of age,
dressed in the uniform of a serjeant in the Spanish army, was
'charged, at Lambeth-street, with stabbing • and seriously
wounding a young man tamed Benjamin Rogers, who no w
lies in the London Hospital its a dangerous state. Prisoner
was remanded.

In the Court of Common Pleas cause was shown on the
part of Mr. Valiance, the solicitor of the Duke of Brunswick,
in the prosecution of Barnard Gregory, against a rule that had
been obtrined by the. Duke to set aside the taxation of
1301. 10g. In Mr. Vallence's hill of costs; the Duke swears
that he never authorised the payment for which this item is
the charge. This Mr. Valiance on affidavit denies. The
matter was finally referred to the decision of the. Master.

WESLE IAN MISSIONARY
MEETING.

The annual meeting of the Wesleyan Missionary
Society was held in Exeter Hall on Monday. The
chair was taken at eleven o'clock by the Right Hon. Sir
Gone Rose who was surrounded on the platform by a
'retie number of leading ministers, and lay gentlemen,
connected with the demonstration. The attendance 'was
no less crowded than. on former occasions of the same
kind, the.flall being completely filled.
Amongst those present were the' folloviiiig The
Right Hon. Sir George Rose, G.C.H. ; P. M. Stewart,
Esq.;. M.P. fur Renfrewshire ; Captain Elliot, R. T. ;
the- Rev. Dr. Wilson, of Bombay ; the Rev. Messrs..
Hamilton and Stewart, of the Free Church of Scotland ;
die "Rev: Mr: CollinSbn, the Mi. Mr. ReeCe, the Rev.
Mr. Waugh, &c. &c. •

After the usual devotional service, .
The CHAIRMAN said it-waS now about a quarter of a
century since he first felt an. interest in Wesleyan
sions; and that interest he had avowed, not only there,
but in pirint.—(llear, hear.) IlehelieVed that a simper
feeling. iiervaded the, minds of thousands.-in the Church
of England, whO felt that if they, had' hitherto enterr
tallied captious scruples,. they ought now to, merge them
In one common' effort for the good, of thankind.,.. Con.
sidering . the- fact- that those who had been 'separated
after -having .been united almost uniforthly became The
bitterest fees, it appeared to: him a'remarkable eircum-
- stance) and-one-which called-for gra.tttude -to ,Goel,. that
such kindly :feelings should exist between the two
bodies.—(Haar, hear.) . It Might be asked why it was
that Luthe'r :and. the other great Refornsers had said
nothing en'Alie 'snbjeCt Of missieus. •The explanation
was to be found An the.fact that. they had to fight for
their
:,own existence.--7(Hear.). A painful struggle 'was
going on in spain, Italy, slid .A:ufiriY-elher countries' of
Europe, which allowed c4ll°- time for. missions to he

timony that in the. West Indies the best effects had been.
produced. •-•Morality, peace, industry; ,:,and, order, were
the constfitf *fats of ;those'. missions.-7-,Cheers.) iln
referring4,..m passing, to the Factories Bill, of last year,
he obserOid4hathe'did not believe that 'measure ,tai
„di‘ctated by any fe4ing.q..bostility towards the Wes-
leyan body. greatmatiOntii:eial was found to exist,
and its promoters erroneously imagined that ,it

be seen .in its. truth and beauz -and -all true Christians
•
would feel that- 'u lthey-were -ied to each other by a
cQuunori:blia:a.,(Cheers.) ;
The Rev. Dr. BUNTING said, that, in consequence; of
that day being appointed for the Opening
_of the ,Budget
in the, HoUSe, of COMinoiis, they. had _been deprived. of
'the presence of •severat Parliameetary friends who. had
been expected to' attend.. There was, one, gentleman

Mr..P. M. STEWART, ALP., said his Rev. 'riend

leave : . it was.. not , the Budget,, ,but:-'one of -these
branches of. business to which they, _ as , beasts
of 'biirden,-:'Vere 'Obliged to, attend—he meant
a Committee of.. the House of COmmons.- He
,had
been determined to identify himaelf in 'some way with
their eause.---(Cheers.) The report having been put
into his hands, .he had read it verbatim, and heartily
wishing success, to the pbject,:he gave theui free per-
mission. to use his name -after he had left, either, as- the
mover or the seconder of that •,doeument.--(cheers.)
He had many reasons ' for ,coining before them on. that
occasion.; but, he. would -particularise only three. First,
he did so as' a hunible member of that great Christian
community.; secOndlY, as identified in some degree with
the dark history of the West Indiati coloniesqvhex.e tlje
missionaries had laboured so successfully And, thirdly,
• as. member of .the Free Protesting Church of Scotland,
which had been so
,warmlyand- zealously. aided by the
Wesleyan body in its struggles , for Christian inde-
pendeneeand spiritual liberty. IR cash of these
.chi•
racters,hefelt called upon to manifest. his: interest in the
Wesleyan missions ; and they might at all times com-
mand hia:serikes, so far as they could be made use of to
further 66, object. (Cheers.) - The Hop; Gentleman.
left the room smidSt, considerable apPlanSe., . •
The Rev..Pri-Boxrm.TO then read. the report. -t From
thiS it appeared that the reeeipts for the year.had been
99,280/., which; with the addition of the surplus of the.
income over the expenditure in the. previous year, •
amounted to. 99,8041. The grOss. expenditUre had been
112,908/.; being an :incrsase of 12,2444. as Compared with
1842, leaving an actual deficiency of 13,194/. The ex-
penditure of the past year exceeded that of. any. year
during the 'eat six years by ,3,7064, The report. eon,

MAGAZINE DAY.

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZIIVE.
The opening article in the present Number is
the subject of the " Increase of Crime—an inerars
which the writer with cool impudence attributes
the Liberals, observing :—" They,shut their eyes:,
this, becauie it affords a sad illustration of the eirs
of their favoUrite theories, which for a quarters,
century have been, under .the direction of her
jesty's Ministry or her Majesty's Opposition,
most ceaseless operation." Now, it happens tbet
party whose, principles are
.thus boldly stated to hav'e
increased the amount of crime in the country, ha
invariably made every effort in their power to die
.
nish it, by the :prudence the liberality—and the e_,
lightened character of their views.' Who 'first Piy.
_posed_tO relay .-the demoralising severity
-of the cf,:s
minal code? 'Who first softened the atrocities of `rifl
game-laws ? Who first advocated a system Olgelletbe
education, and strove to enlighten the Messes on „,
subject of their political privileges ? Who, but the;
maligned Liberals, who are yet taunted by be
wood with having swelled the amount of crime
country ! The great, unquestionable parent .of cf'
nality among nations, as among individualsi is 6-,g
rance ; and if a vast mass of this still exists at,ik
us, the Tories—and the Tories 'only--oke',to
for it. The` writer goes on to observe GOve r,
