THREE years ago there went up from Worcester shire a great and bitter cry. Sir JOHN Psxmorox, the Chairman of Quarter Sessions in that county, gave it articulate voice ; it reached, and was echoed from all the other rural regions of England. It was the cry of the landlords over their game. It penetrated next session the walls of the Legisla ture, and, amid shouts and violence, a remedy was proposed and passed into law. Henceforth the Police were to be guardians of this particular sub ject of sport. In vain did the Home Szcserativ urge the unconstitutional nature of the powers con ferred, in vain did Lord PALMERSTON explain that he abstained from remaining to oppose it in late divi sions only for the imperial object of preserving his personal health. The police were invested with au thority to stop and search on the highway men or women whom they might suspect of haying game in their possession, and the novel principle was in troduced of requiring a suspected culprit to prove his innocence, instead of requiring the accuser to establish the guilt. It would seem that even these extensive powers have proved insufficient. We now learn that poaching is more prevalent than ever in Worcestershire, and from other parts of the country we have almost daily accounts of affrays in which trespassers, keepers, and police fight with deadly weapons, and not unfrequently to • fatal issue. So now the Times inform% us that the one essential change in the law which these circumstances call for is to declare game property. It avows its conviction that the system of pre serving is already as popular among the tenantey as it is beloved by the landlord% who breed, and the exhausted barristers, authors, and merchants who rent the right to shoot the pheasants and hares preserved. It holds, therefore, that all that is needed is to deter the poacher by converting him into a thief. When this is done all will be simple ; there will be no more trespassing or snaring ; there will be harmony between breeders, feeders, and killers, and the vested rights of each will be no more interfered with on the part of either starving poor or organized marauders. There are two objections to this conclusion. The one is, that if we did declare game property we should have to treat it like other property, with neither more nor less of favour, and conse quently we should have to require its owner so to mark and identify and confine it as to deserve the aid of the law in its protection. When, for the asks of drawing the more custom, a shopkeeper hangs out his goods in the street, we neither regard with the same reprobation, nor punish with the same severity, the thief who appropriates articles thus offered temptingly to his grasp, as we do the burglar who forces the door by which property is guarded. So, if a landlord has pheasants and hams roaming at large for the sake of his personal amuse ment, or of making money by letting to another the right to such amusement, and wished to have them regarded as property, we should b.: obliged to tell him that he was using his propel./ so as to make it • stumbling-block to hi% neighbours ; and that the law could give him no further encourage ment in such a use than it gives to the city pawn broker who exposes his wares in the street. No legislature could, for very shame, make a law for inflicting extra punishment on otose who fall into such • trap—no judge would be inhuman enough to impose other than the smallest penalty on those who yielded to such temptation. Nor could the landlord gain any help from the suggestion, that the law protects horses, sheep, and cattle while in the open fields. They are favourably regarded because they are appropriated to a known owner, and capable of being easily identified. Thus theft is made, by the nature of things, difficult of perpetration, and obviously easy of detection, and ace , rdingly the law adds its terrors. But where theft is easy, reetrained by no difficulty of concesiiment of the subject, deterred from by no probability of the article being traced or recognised, the 1... w would refuse to interpose a severe penalty to prohibit abstraction of what the owner has been at no pains to render secure. But the nominal declaration that game is pro perty would be attended by another consequence. It could not change the popular opinion of its character. Bight or wrong, the far. is that the people of this country will not look upon game m property. They have been brought up in the creed that it is not property, and an act of parliament will not change their belief. Nothing, however, is more dangerous than to set the law at variance with public opinion. Nothing more contributes to its evasion, nothing even is • stronger temptation to the bolder spirits to break it. Is it desirable that this sentiment of a breach in the ancient common law of the re dm, made by a statute passed in an assembly of land owners, should be auperadded to the bad blood which • series of penal laws has already created in Worcestershire and eliewhere We cannot, therefore, accept this alteration in the law as a probable panacea for the evil of poachiog ; but we shall suggest what has been the course adopted by the Legislature in circumstances nearly parallel. Smuggling is another of the offences which the popular instinct cannot be per suaded to include in the category of heinous crimes. We have tried hanging for it ; we have tried a specially trained body of coast guards and excise men ; we have backed them with every power the law could give and the resources of the empire furnish. Aq faded. It was not repressed by THE EXPRESS, SATT.JI DAY EVENING, OCTOBER 17, 1863. public opinion ; it was an exciting pursuit, and it was profitable. So we had individual smugglers and bands of smugglers on every coast, in every town, on every heath or mountain. At last we tried a different plan. We diminished the profits of the offence, and diminished the severity of the laws against it. As by magic smuggling disap peared. Here and there a case may occur, but the system with all its demoralizing consequences is gone. And nowadays, so well is this truth re cognised, that our Chancellors of the Exchequer avowedly regulate their scale of duties so as just to make smuggling unprofitable, and consequently to prevent its perpetration. Cannot our landowners take the lesson to heart 1 There is nowhere poaching except where there is game in such excess as to make the killing of it not amusement merely, but profitable. It is bred in such quantities, not for purposes of fair and manly sport, but for the support of the degrading battue system. Is it worth their while, worth the while of any English gentleman, for such an object to push his "rights" to an extent which turns, as by experience is too sadly shown, his humbler neighbours into systematic criminals I We put the question thus plainly before them, because with them, and not with the law, rests the con tinuance or cessation of this state of things. Eveli one whom we can gain to our side will be the gain of one or two of our fellow countrymen saved from a career of crime. Nor surely is it very much that we ask them to sacri fice. It is only the pleasure of standing at the corner of a wood and having dumb animals driven to them to be shot, and the numbers slaughtered put in the newspapers. We should leave them still all that can really be called sport on moor or stubble-field, in copse or turnips. There would still be plenty of game to invite exercise, to afford scope for skill, to give pleasure in watching the trained instinct of the dogs. But as there would not be enough to make poaching a profitable trade, it would die out. Nor let any one ignorant of the habits of these so-called wild animals think that we should fail still to have ample supplies in our markets. If food is what is wanted they can all be brought up and fattened in confinement as well as, and more cheaply than, in the fields. Perhaps we shall hear that they would want the " wild " flavour. A Roman epicure fattened his lampreys by throwing his slaves into their pond ; we are surely not come to tempt our countrymen to their ruin for the sake of a flavour. Nor, surely, shall it be much longer our reproach that we tempt them to destruction in order that somelof our great and rich men may have a degenerate:kind of sport. The Boone is decidedly weak. Sales predomi nate, particularly on the part of large holders, and the weak speculators for the rise are fairly fright. ened. The talk of a rupture between Russia and Turkey produced some alarm to-day. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. The Debate of to-day observes that if Russia has told Turkey that a recognition of the Poles u belligerents will be considered a caws belli, there is no reason why Russia► should not hold the same language to Austria. " The latter power," says the Debate, " understands as well as anyone how difficult it is for it to continue to change notes and protests with Russia without the contest degene rating into combats more offensive. It is this which renders Austria at once so prudent and so hesitating, but it is this also which may render it at any time very bold. The present situation cannot, in fact, be prolonged without becoming for Austria more dangerous than open war." The Independence of yesterday evening doubts the fact of any diplomatic representation on the subject of the Poles having been made by Russia to the Porte. " Turkey," says • the Independence, " thinks much more of keeping clear of the complications which the Polish question may originate for her, than of provoking those vamplica tions ; and if, to suppose an impossible case, it were her desire to recognise the Poles as bellige rents, she would await, before realising it, the reso lutions of the Western Powers." GERMANY AND DENMARK. THE THREATENED FEDERAL EXECUTION. A letter from Berlin states that in the govern ment circles of that capital there is a conviction that the Federal execution will take place. The difficulties raised at Hanover relative to the command in chief of the army of execution, and to many other details, appear to be smoothed. Neverthe less the Prussian press continues to oppose the pro ject of execution. The People's Gazette of Berlin publishes in connexion with this subject a compara tive table of the Danish and Prussian marine, and shows the incontestable superiority of the first over the second. In Austria, on the contrary, and in the German States which regulate their policy by that of the Cabinet of Vienna, the execution prospects are regarded under a more favourable point of view. Thus the Dresden Journal seeks to demonstrate the superiority of the Austrian marine over the Danish marine, and to prove that Austria could entirely prevent the blockade of the German ports of the North Sea and of the Baltic by Danish vessels.

Baroche continues to be the favourite for the post of Minister of State and principal government orator. He is undoubtedly, supposing his health to be strong enough, the beet man fur the purpose in the government ranks. It is understood that M. Rouher, justly estimating the range of his own capacity, would prefer remaining President of the Council of State. If M. Baroche should succeed K Billault it is probable that M. Chaix d'Est Ange —who has been out of office for some time—will become Miuiater of Justice. Since Count Wa lewski had an audience of the Emperor yesterday, it has been rumoured that he is to be made minister of the Emperor's household, Marshal Valliant being removed to the governorship of the Invalides, via the late Marshal d'Ornano. I think this latter news very probable. It has long been wished to provide a place for Count Walewski, and this arrangement will console him for the loss of the London embassy, which he had his eye upon. The Temps to-night says that "important ministerial modifications" are impending ; I have no reason to think the changes alluded to will be much more extensive than those above suggested. People are puzzled to know why M. Thouvenel should have been sent for by telegraph. It would be impos sible for him to enter into any ministry of which M. Dronyn de Lhuys forms a part, unless, indeed, which there seemssmall proepect of, the Roman question were going to be settled in favour of Italy. M. Dupin is clearly too old and too much rooted in old legal habits to be the " talking minister." I continue to think he was only sent for to be con sulted on the situation. In case of M. Troploog's death or retirement, be would probably be made President of the Senate arid of the Court of Caseation. The rather unexpected news bas been received to-day from Madrid, and adopted without question by the government journals, that the Empress, who was thought to be on her way to St. Cloud, is to spend five days at Madrid, as the guest of the Queen of Spain. A story is current that a pro jected marriage between the Count de Paris and his cousin, the daughter of the Duke of Mont pensier, gives the Tuileries great uneasiness, and that the Empress has a mission to try her influence with the Queen of Spain to break off the match. It is remarkable that the Fra nca, which was one of the warmest advocates of the Mexican expedi ' Lion, now adopts the conclusion of M. Debelleyme's pamphlet, i.e., that the French army should leave the moment the Archduke Maximilian assumes the reins of government. I cannot explain wby this paper should have orders to argue in such a vicious circle, for it is quite certain the archduke will never go out unless he is assured of the sup port of the French army for a considerable time. The France, it is true, says "Europe " must guarantee the new throne, and the Rance Colleens porcine says positively (but quite contrary to the fact, as I believe) that England is prepared to do so. There must be some deception and in trigue sot yet unveiled by this impudent taking In vain of the name of Europe. The Opinion Nationale ridicules the idea of the " common guarantee" and prophecies that the archduke will not quit his snug palace on the Adriatic. eV COW. BALMORAL, Ocr. 15.

The Confederate' are operating in General Ro- secrans' rear, leading to the supposition that Bragg has attacked Rosecrans in front. Al! is quiet at Charleston, Knoxville, and on the Rapidan. The Confederates were repulsed on the 28th ult. in an attack upon General Rosecrans' right. General Forrest, with 4,000 cavalry, has made a raid on the railroad between Nashville and Chatta nooga, and destroyed a large railroad bridge south of Murfreesboro. The Confederates also attacked Miblinisville, 70 miles south-west of Nashville, with a view of cutting Roseman' line and isolating Burnside. In this attack the Confe derates loot 120 men. Its result is not, however, reported. Telegraphic communication has been interrupted between Murfreesboro and Chattanooga, but numerous movements in Rose , crane' rear lead to the supposition that Bragg may have simultaneously attacked Rosecrans iu front. Federal despatches, however, confidently assert Rosecraus' position to be impregnable, and the Federal forces fully able to keep his communica tions open. Burnside holds the country south from Knoxville to Calhoun, on the Hiawaasie river, and the Western and Atlantic Railroads, and east from Knoxville as far as Greenville, on the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad. He also pos sesses all the passes into North Carolina. His right wing is in communication with Rosecrans. Despatches have been received from Charleston to the 3rd inst. General Gilmore has removed his headquarters from Morris bland to Folly Island. The Federal land batteries are bombarding Fort Sumter. Washington official despatched assert that the result of the land and naval preparations at Charleston will shortly be witnessed. Southern despatches state that the Federal movements indi cate permanent more than immediate operations. Lee continues fortifying all the fords on the Rapidan. General Lee's report of the Pennsyl vania campaign has been published. It appears that his object was to break up the Federal summer campaign, repossess the Shenandoah Valley, and transfer the war to the north side of the Potomac. Wheeler's Confederate cavalry, 4,000 strong, has been defeated at Anderson's cross roads, Kentucky. The Confederates are menacing Fort Smith, Arkansas. A cavalry, artillery, and infantry expedition, with two gunboats, has left Fortress Monroe, destination unknown. The steamer Diamond has been captured. Postmaster-General Blair has bitterly denounced the Abolitionists, and denied that the States could ever be reduced to a territorial condition. NEW YORK, Ocr. 7, Erramo. There are no Confederates at present in the Shenandoah valley. The New York Herald asserts that peace propo- sitions have been discussed in the Federal cabinet. The nature of them is unknown. NEW YORK, Ocr. 9. Arrzairoos. The situation at Chattanooga portends au early engagement. The Confederates have rendered the roads in Rosecraus' rear difficult to travel, except for strong military commands. A portion of the Confederate cavalry has moved towards Kentucky, to harass Burnside', lines. A part has also moved southward against Rosecrans. - It is rumoured that the Confederates have cap tured Shelbyville. The Confederates opened fire on Chattanooga on the sth from Look-out Mountain. Shells were exploding in Chattanooga. The New York Herald asserts that Bragg's army has been swelled by reinforcements to 270,00 men. Advicee from Charleston of the 6th instant state that the Confederates bad attacked the frigate Ironsidee, doing her some damage. NEW YORK, Oct 10, Mount°. In Tennessee the Confederates have attacked Shelbyville, capturing 15,000 (1) prisoners. They have also captured M'Minisville, with 500 pri soners and seven waggons, together with 500 pri soners at Waldron Ridge. The Confederate cavalry have been defeated near Franklin, Kentucky, with a loss of 300 prisoners and four cannon. The City of Manchester and the America take out 2,170,000 dole. in specie.

DEVON COUNTY SCHOOLS. The annual distribution of prizes of the Devon Oust, School took place on Tuesday at West Rockland, by the Vary Rev. Dr. Longley, Archbishop of Canterbury. There were • large numbs present, amongst whom were Earl Forteecus (chairman). the Hon. Dudley rot-fescue, Lord Clinton, Sir Hamilton Seymour, hr. The CHAIRMAN having briefly opened the proceedings, Prebendary BIEZZION read a brief statement of the schools. Having succinctly referred to their early history and forma tion, addressing his grace, he continued : —Without iron. Ming your grace with uuneansuy details, or any further account of the past. I will Iniefly explain the actual con stitution of the school, as you now find it. It ts the ' property of an association of shareholders, including some of the leading lendlords, as well as Irony influential representative' of the professional, farming, and trading Interests in the county. They have expended about 6,0 C )1. in bringing the school to its present position. Of this only about 4,0001. has been the cost of these build tag' and the land upon which they stand. The furniture his cost another LOW. ; and the remainder has been spent in preliminary expenses, as advertising, temporary build ings, improvement of the land purchased, and the coat of the maintenance and tuition of the scholars beyond the payments received from parents. As the buildings are also now completed for 100 boarders, ooly • trifling further out lay for furniture is contemplated, and u there are indica tions of an increase of boarders (55 is the number now is residence), the commercial success of the school, as regards the security of the money invested and the probability of an avenge return, is not at all improbable. The shareholders recognising the importance of saber dineting the desire of profit to the purpose of public good, the intention has already been partially carried eat' of assigning the profits as they may accrue, and letting of the sharer; to scholarships, augmentation of salaries, and other permanent objects. And certain donations and endowments have already been given to the school. principally an ea dolmens of 1,000/. gives by the late Earl Forterms for • permanent chaplain of the church of Eogland, whose duty it is to hold • special service for the school in the adjoining parish of Fist Suckland, which the same liberal and pious benefactor rebuilt and enlarged for the same pur pose. The shareholden have also entrusted the appoint- ment and removal of the head master, not to the annually elected director, but to • permanent body of trustees. The prices which your grace will be asked to have the goodness to distribute will indicate the nature of the instruction given in this school. We have cu. dially availed ourselves of the Ceiveraity Middle Class Examination'., and are, I believe, the first school in England that ben adopted the plan of seeding in the whole of the upper classes, and not merely selected pupils, to those examieationa. The Cambridge examination being held at Christmas has been found practically the most convenient for us, and this I. the second year io which we expect a Cambridge examiner to visit the school, and about 21.1 boys will undergo the examination. The prima having been delivered, The Archbishop of CANTKIIBURY expressed the deep satis faction he had experienced from what be had witnessed and heard. The institution had certainly assumed dimensions be yond what he had expected when he Best heard of it, and It appeared to him that the reports they had heard entitled it to rank amongst the first educational establishments of the country. What bail been especially gratifying to him was the fact that every one of those who presented themselves for examination at the Cambridge middle-class examinations, with the exception of one, obtained good marks for religious knowledge, and that all chose that subject for examination. (Applause.) He earnestly hoped that that character might be retained by the 'chop'. He would give them one or two words of advice. They should be content to bear the yoke, and be determined. by God's help, to a cq uit themselves like men in the early stages of their life. They should, as the poet said, " Shun delight, and live laborious days; eschew the listless indolence in which so many wasted away their lives and spent a profit less existence." He hoped they might never have that to reprove themselves with. fie would give them one motto, " Prayer, prodecee, and perseverance," prayer for the blessing of Him without whom nothing was strong, no thing was well ; prudence that through the best means they might attain their end ; perseverance that they might sever be weary in well-doing, bat pram on to the end to the great objects of this life ; and if they would only follow in that course they might depend upon it they would find much comfort to thembelvea, and be a blessing to their parents, a comfort to their neighbourhood, and they would through life be really profitable and useful to the generation in which they lived. (Applause.) He could only assure them that he should elways feel a special interest in the welfare and prosperity of the school. He trusted that under God's blaming it would be the moaned advancing the interests of those in it, and establishing as far as it was concerned the welfare and prosperity of the country, for if throughout the length and breadth of the laud such institutions were planted, based upon the principle of good instruction in religions and moral training, the prosperity of the country would be, he believed, firmly secured. After a few more words from Mr. Tanner and Pre heodary Brenton, the meeting terminated with the benediction pronounced by the Archbishop. His Grace subsequently planted a tree in commemoration of hie visit, and then went to West Rockland Church, which hes been almost rebuilt. Hi, Grace expressed his satisfac. tMo at the inside, and desired that it might be commtud. Gated to the architect. Mr. Gould. BRAZlL—Statements respecting Brazil having appeared in several journals, accompanied with comments calculated to exasperate a situation which all sensible people desire to see terminated, we believe we shall not be inaccurate in stating that the good offices of the Kiug of Portugal have not been refused by the Brazilian government, and that any proposition for the restoration of political ixtercourse will be received in an amicable spirit at Rio de Janeiro.

THE HIGH STEWARDSHIP OF CAMBRIDGE MCI- Vettoltr.—Tbe election is fined (or Mousier, the ;:Bth Rumour is already busy with the names of those who are likely lobs bronght forward as sandidates. At present we have beard of Lord Lytteltoe. Earl Powis, Lord Stratford de Modalities, the Marquis of Eseter. the Duke of Rutland, and the Duke of liacclench. The two former we think very likely to be nominated ; the third unlikely—the fourth very unlikely—and the fifth certainly not—we believe his Gram would not consent on account of ill health. It id to be hoped that a contest will be avoided, as just when lectures and the general business of the term are commencing it would be moat inconvenient. Indeed if Lord Lyttelton is nominated, we can scarcely believe that he will be opposed, as his claims upon the university are far higher than those of any other member of the university who could be brought against him. He wee Craven Scholar is 1837, and though he could bare held the scholarship fur seven years, he rive it up in one. In 1838 his lordship was at the heed of the Classical Trips., and in the same year was adjudged equal with Dr. Vaughan, for the Chancellor's medal. la politics. Lord Lyttelton has never been a party man; be is a sound churchman and his views are moderate, with a tendency to liberalism. As al additional claim (to the tinivenity, and as a proof of his attachment to it, we may mention that by his lordship's influence, two cationries were given to Cambridge, which are now attached to the pro feseerehips of Hebrew and Greek. Should them bee on. test, the whole of the members of the senate. of whom there are over 5,000 on the register, will be entitled to vote. The system of voting by papers sent by post is permimive, but the l'uiversity has never used it, and is not likely to begin to do ao on the present °cession. —Can/trays lade. pendent. THE PORPOISE AT THE ZOOIA MICAL Mr. Frank Buckland writes :—" Mr. A. D.

I found our new arrival (about eft. long and :Lilo. TntlOtt the chest) in the pond with the sturgiiiii, who, by the way. is well and hearty. Tbe sturgeon sec ma very pstlous of the porpoise being put into his mood, and swims .ilinut the bete toss, looking.. savage as a bah can look. The poor porpuir seems much fatigued by his journey. He left Boston, :a Liocolnshire, on Thursday morales at 7 o'clock, io a railway train ; be bad, therefore, been nearly eight hours out of water. Mr. James Wigtoff, near Lkeiton, sent him down. carefully wrapped up in a wet blanket, and summated with wet gram ; plenty of water was also sent, sod this was foam time to time poured on hie hack, to keel' his skis and blowholes moist. At this moment he 4 millet rowed mid mood the margin of the pond, with Is bead half out of water.

I hope, however, that the porpoise will soon flail not that be ILia come into good halide, and that he will be will treated ; and I trust that in a day or two, if all goes be will find this out, begin 4. feed, and take age n,ple from the good behaviour of his comrade the Murree —who.
