IiATIMI 2t. . by virtue of sentences pas,ed by the court of King's Bench, which motion fell to the ground fur want of a seconder, was gone into, hut not any matter of great importance, and the ad.;ourtied. Mtftell 21. The cpeakel• informed the [ionic, That the Royal Assent kid hero given by commission to the Mutiny, and some other public bills. G %ME I. MS, Sir S. Ronit.l.v noised ths second reading of the Game Law Art Repeal Md. Mr lisNi aEs observed, tint as another bill was in progress • which was likely to give satisfaction, he had no longer any objection to the repeal of the ft tinier art. As the other bit, however, stood for that day seatnight, he begged to move, as an amendment, that instead of the word " now," the words " Monday seamight" be inserted. Sir S. Ritmo 0.0. a felt it necessary to re state the object of this measure, which was 11141 . 11!. t h e repeat of that put tof au act lately passed, which indicted the punishment of trans portatiou for 7 years, On all persons who shoal,' be foam' i n any enclosure, with arms or nets about them, at night ; and that, for the purposes of this act, it should he considered night till 7 o'clock in the morning. Another bill was already introulnead, iu which this clause VC:v.; omitted, hat which could not pass into a law until after the Easter prate' ses sions. The enactment which this bill went to repeal was generally admitted to be a cruel and ttithist, as well as an absurd law. The opposition now made to the Seeollti read ing of the bill amounted to an admission of the injustice of . the existing law; lint indicated .a wish, that this injustice should continue till after the next quarter sessions. He had no donbt that there were many guilty persons who might come within its operation ; but there were others whose in• ttocrnce would not exempt their cases from falling within the purview of this highly penal statute. He had not been aft aid of leaving it to be applied ut the assizes, because he was satisfied that the constroction of it would be governed by the general object set forth in the preamble : but with all his respect for the magistracy, be was not satisfied to commit its execution to them ; particularly, %alien he knew that on all subjects relating to offences against the game laws they were actuated by peculiar timlinga, and a temper different front that which thev manifested on other occasions. lie was much deceived it' persons bad not been, not only improperly con victed, but transported ander ibis act. Besides, it was to then, in the nature of an ex post ,Facia law ; it had been passed in secrecy, and without disca , sioo. The evil ot' these severe penalties was, that public upiuitto went with them. It haul been argued, that g • g was merely a ;wawa prohiWuni; but it might be said of killing game with at least as much propriety. He might take this opportunity of reprobating the practice et' setting spring guns, and other engines of bodily harm, in private grounds. He haul seen the opinion of an eminent counsel published, which was, that if death were • produced by such means, it would be wilful murder in the person who placed the instrument of mischief for that pur pose. He did not agree in this opinion ; but lie did think that it world be a case of aggravated manslaughter. He had heard of several poachers convicted ill the north of the coun try, who expressed their surprise when informed of the ex istence of this act, and declared, that it' they had known it they should not have committed the offence. He trusted, that upon these grunio's the House would concur with him, that this bill ought now to lie read a second time. Sir C. aloaca represented the case alluded to by his hon. and learned friend as one of an aggravated nature, Mr. licsnitsson should think it his duty to vote for the anumilinent. He thought it would be better in the metnber rue Kent's bill to leave out the word " game" altogether, and male it au act against asmil bodies going ahout by night. Aft r a few words front Sir V- Itrydges anuttieneral Thorn ton, the House divided—For the co iginal question 14—Against it 3N—Majority 41. Sevetal Reform Petitions, de. were presented, and the orders of the day being di-posed of, the House adjourned. EMBASSY TO CHINA. We purposely suspend our remarks on this subject, until the official accounts shall have arrived. We, how ever, extract the fidlowing paragraph from the Journal of one cif the Embassy, together with such other parti oulars as have reached us:— " At Tung-koo our party was lodged for the night in a temple, but the accommodation was miserable—no bedding was provided. A curious circumstance pre sented itself. In the Temple there is an European picture of Christ, crowned with thorns, and the reed in his hap& It was dedicated to the Temple by the Ens .peror Kang-he ; but is neither called Jesus nor Christ. The Priest sheaved cur people " A Lesson devoutly to be read before this Poo se—a title applied to this pic ture in common with all the Gods and Coddesses of China. The lesson is couched in mystical language, the object of which is to express that the perfuctions And character of this l'ou-sa are incomprehensible." We are given to understand, that the latest intelli gence from the interior of China has been received by .the Propaganda College at Rome ; and that the few Missionaries still left in that empire represent the prin cipal Madarins as quite ready to throw off the iron yoke of despotism under which they and their prede cessors have suffered the bastintulo mul decalkation, 'without trial, fits so many centuries. The late partial insurrections prove that this inthrmation is so 141- cor rect ; but the Missionaries have added, that the pre sence of an European power, capable of protecting them, would snake :he revolt general, and, we hope, blood less. Enteskrisiag mai experienced Statesmett, now that Europe is at peace, will nut be long, we trust, in taking tulva.l:.4;e of this new souree of national pros perity. The cre.stion of a taste tin. British manuthetures, and British tr..lnnors and ctstoms, throughout the vast empire of Chita, vcoald still enable us to excel sill Eu rope as muih in c ommercial industry, as we have al ready done is era .:nd tinus. The advantages result ing the British Settlement of India to mankind in general. independently of the promotion of objects purely national, forcibly plead for the experiment now gtarrally supposed to be in contemplation. If there are THE NATII any persons so fastidious, as to disapprove of extending our colonial resources by conquest, we would bid them look at the present abject and degraded state of the Chinese, and reflect, that if conquest be necessary (a eacumstance by no means to be inferred), the con querors will be Englishmen of the 19th century—the &AMC men who have delivered France and Europe from despotism—abolished Negro slavery—introduced the Gospel of Peare into India—anti who, with a mag nanimity never equalled in the history of mankind, have not only spared the lives, but assigned princely revenues, to the greatest enemies the human race ever saw, anti now their captives—the King of Candy and Napoleon Buonaparte.

About to o'clock the children supported by this Society assembled in their school-house in St. George's Fields, and walked in pro cession to the City of London Tavern, headed by their masters ; and on their arrival were ushered into two large apartments, were they were regaled with plenty of roasted beef and plum-pudding. At half-past six o'clock the company (nearly 100) sat down to dinner, Y.Ansl Castlereagh in the Chair, in which he was supported by the Marquis of I leadford, the Earls of Blessington and Darnley, and Viscount De Vescy. Ater dinner the children walked round the room in procession, carrying a standard, with the full-length likeness of St. Patrick. On the departure of the children several loyal and ap propriate toasts Avon given, and songs sung ; and the evening was spent with the most convivial bar mony. Tim LATE DUEL BETWENN LINAT . SHINVI AND COUPROV. —The patties tired together, when Lieut. Hines received his antagonist's bali in hix loins; he instantly fell, and was con veyed to a house close by Ridgway. As soon as the news reached Plymouth, Mrs. Hines, who hail lately been brought to bed r it 1111 l ediately repaired to the spot with surgical assist ance, to attend on her wounded husband: hut, we ate sorry to add, he died on the folloWing Jay, leaving a widow and two small childrin to lament his prom:time death. A Cord ner's inquest has since been held, mail brought in a verdict of witfal .der against Lieut. Cotultov, his ant kl ZOU st, and Mr. A. Stetxatt, woo Nilt•Dled the i:Tr:l4rd to the field. There was nothing to impiicate Mr. initit:ri's second, whose name the Jiiry tutu ii not discover. 'floe tituel was fought ar the short distance of nine paces. !Si.tw 010d:iodine the se verity of the wound. it is reniaikahl , that the deceased did not but, with a little assistahee, he wall 4 to.a gig in waiting, and on arriving at the London lon, Ply !laptop, ex Ca walked up stairs to the bed-room, by merely leaning on the shoulders of two persons, one on each side of him. Being asked why It hail not fallen, he brave ly replied, that it re quited a goad knock to put him down, and that he was not a white feather. He spoke in the highest terms 4 his ad versary. Such traits of firmness and magnanimitylmake us regret the 'nor" this fres' sacritice on the shrine of false hollow; in which are unhappily involved the fat's of a %sl am d ad two children, who have to lament the *40;11 , 0) toss of 0, it m00r.,1 protector, as well as the peace of mind anti tlitore pro:pert% of the tither persons concerned in this me laucholy bunnies.
