To authorize new trial upon the ground that the verdict is contrary to evidence, it is essential that | should not only be against the weight of evidence, but that il should be so much so as, on the first blush of il, to shock our sense of justice.
 When a party offers no legal, but IS per- miued 10 introduce a mass of illegal testi- mony, and yet the verdict is against him, t is a strong reason why this court should not grant new trial,
 Plaintiff read to the jury, as e7idenc, a statement in the handwriting of defendant, without accounting for his possession of it. Held that in the absence of proof to the con- trary, the legal presumption IS that Ire ob- tained il fairly, il the course of business.
 Where, in a statement made out by de- fendant, he admis that he has funds in lis hands belonging 10 another, and the plain tiff reads such statement to the jury, the de- fendant should not 5e allowed to give i'll ev- idcuce declarations made by himself, subse- quently 10 tie time he drew up such stale- ment, denying its eorfectness.-Ailirmed.

 The act of l8l0, making slaves real es- tate, was only designed 10 change their mode ol descent, and conveyance; and was no, intended 10 deprive the owner of the proper and appropriate remedies, then iu use, for thefecorery Of the possession of such prop erty, when unjustly deprived of. ii; or for the recovery of damages for injuries infic- ted upon it.
 The action of rePlevin, therefore, lies for a slave, notwithstanding the passage of that act.
 An instrument cannot be considered or construed as deed of gid, when il express ses upon its face, a grant made for valuable consideration. The parties are estopped to deny the consideration thus expressed.
 A mmor may contract for, and receive d deed to a slave
 A decd should be construed soa to make every part of 1t operative, if possible; and Il the deed cannot operate as intended bv the parties, such construction should be given It as to make 1t operate in some othermanner.
 In this country, real and personal estale stand upon tie same footing, as to limitations and cnumerations contained in conveyanecs. ana sale may be made, creating a future estate in personal property, the vendor re- tamng the right of possession for life, TOT a shorter period
 A deed conveying a slave for valuable consideration, with reservation of posses sion to the vendor during his life, or pleas ure, is valid.
 The delivery of slave to daughter, bv her father, the subsequent and undsputed possession of her husband after marriage, with the aequlescenee of the father during his life, are circumstances alIording strong, if not conclusive, evidence of title in the son-in-law.
 The declarations of vendor made sub sequent to the sale, and in the absence of the vendee, cannot be given in evidence to in- peach the validity of the sale.
 More especially, are such declarations in- competent to impeach the consideration ex- pressed in deed, executed by the vendor Affirmed.

 Crcular-The United States have con summated the peridy against MeXlco, bY sanctoning the decree which declares the an nexation of the department of Texas to that Republic. The injustice of usurpatiou is ap- pearant, and Mexico cannot tolerate such q grave injury without making an effort to prove to the United States the possibility or her ability to cause her rights to be respect cd. With this object the Supreme GoYernl ment has resolved upon declaration of war against that power, seeing that our forbear- ance, instead of being received as proof of our friendly disposition, has been interpreted into an acknowledged impossibility on our part to carry on successful war.
 Such an error on the part of the United States will be advantageous 10 Mexico, be- cause, suddenly abandoning its pacic atti- tude, Il will tomorrow communicate to Con gress the declaration of war, and excite the patriotism of its citizeps to sustain the dignity of the nation and the integrity of it's territo- ", now treacherously attacked, m utter dis regard of all guaranties recognized in this enlightened age.

Whatever may be the result of the gas eonade and grand sPlatter of .stho Supreme Government" no one seems to anticipate, shoqld,they attempt extreme measures, any thing for Mexico but the disgrace of her flag and the contempt of all nations Tho pom pous proclamations of her ministers, and her lion-skin leroeity create no excitement, and all interest upon the subject Is exhausted generally in the enquiry as to whether ornot her smother knows shes out In a most un- happy catagory has she placed her5elf-Ncy- CT dreaming but that with the aid of England, in intrigue and means and the opposition here of her good friends, the Wings, that annexa- lion could possibly be eonsummated, she did not hesitate to threaten us with war in such an event, without having had the discretion to retain plac through which 10 retreat when things became too hot. The consequence is, that not possessing the 'ssnews of war, if ! ''declaralionn be hazarded, 1t will amount to little more than commercial non-inter- course with the United States, and the con- fiseatioa of American property within her Territory. The latter oPPeralion might pro- 5d5ly call for some retalatory measures upon the pat Of our government; in which ease we should be especially pleased to see, at a rsPectfal distance, the Princeton or Consella- ton with "tho big gum pitching, at every discharge, her 227 poond-masses of iron into the devoted Mexican ports We believe that country excursons aanll he GsdaoahIo among the citizens at such a time
