If such s principle were sanctioned, he should expect to have all the boutmakers, tailor*, and other trades people of the comitry coming to their Lordships' bar, and demneding a similar indulgence. PURCHASE OF GAME. Mr. G. BANE, moved the Order of the Day fur the second reeding of the Purchase of Game Bill. - On Friday. the Cursed, of The Suspicious Ilissimiad: Hearer, Mr. ElWiwi; Strickimed, Mr. Pope; Jock Mesigui, Mr. Harley; Tester. Mr. Koichi. Mrs. Strickisaii, Mrs. pricer; Clarinda. Mrs. Devisor; Julia., Mrs. Mute ; Loretta, Mrs. Alec,. Mr. Cumin', had entertained hopes that the treatment the Bill had received on its first rea would •have induced the Hon. Member to give it up. The effect of the Game Laws was to compel any gentleman who endeavoured to preserve their game to leave the country, so great was the odiunt produced against them by an attempt to enforce theu►. The laws in question were nut governed by our principle of justice. The Bill could not reach the objects it had iu view ; it could never prevent the higher orders from purchasing. It was dangerous to extend the existing penalties at a time when, by the returns on the table, it appeared that no less than 1.200 were under confinement for trans gressing the Game Laws. The Bull went to in crease the number of ►pies in the country.at present large enough, and to coustitute the servant a spy on the actions of his master. He therefore moved, as an amendment, That the Bill be read a second time this day six months. • Colonel WOOD observed, that the author of the measure was entirely hostile to the public being ►upplied with game ; and be had therefore acted consistently in prohibiting the purchase of it. He, however, being of a contrary opinion, and wishing that there should be a plentiful market of the article, could not support it. The means of going to the root of the evil was to make game private property. By the present law a man with a few emu of land was entitled to have game, while a person possessing a hundred thousand pounds i n the funds was debarred front such a lumpy. The Gentlemen concerned in the measure should con. alder bow many of their own friends go out to !port unqualified, and through mercy for them, if not the public, forbear to press it. The quidifications by law were—being possessed of freehold property to the amount of a hundred a year, or being the eldest son of an esquire, or other person of equal degree—and he could appeal to all who heard him, how many went out every year from the metropolis to the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. tint coining within these. He hoped the Hon. Gentleman would not visit such a number of permit's it this large town with new penalties—and that a Com mittee of the House would next year examine the whole system, and sweep awry its defects. tDUtATION OF THR POOR . . . The Order of the bay having been rend to: the House .0111 g ruin a Committee oil the Edui:Aitni of the Poor' Bill-- sir. Baouciti AM said, that . in consequence of the discussion the Bill had received ou the second read ing, which first drew the attention of the House and the country to the sUbject, and *lnch the abuses of the ryitem had been first publicly detailed—tha CoMmittee had received an immense body of coin-. municistions from various parts of. the country re. spectjtig abuses. The effect prraltic;.d ,erred to, havibeen, that since they were discovered t ti .exist in certain places, people suspect e d th e y might in all, and had accordingly set themselves with "tour -to the work of investigation—mid a Multil4de of letters had been received from Parties; in various ways interested in the management of the Nails of charitable instituttotii, and from other welt- disposed persons in the neighbourhood of them. The pi-r- SOUS he had alluded to had done all that they cou ld in a few days, and those few days had conferred a valuable body of information ou the Committee. A defect of cominunicatiou had been rape' ienced, however, of a very ominous nature. Rev. Gentle men had been, in general, ready to afford inforniti 7 tion ; but in many cases, where ghtring abuses had been discovered, and proved to exist in other ways, Rev. Gentlemen, from re connection with the au thors of the abuses, or en excess of good-nature and indulgence to die failings of Others, had thought proper to withhold the retu rn s. lie would be glud that theme Reverend ',enema should be made acquainted with what he said, and take warning; that they would not escape the vigilance of the House, nor be excused from doing what was re quired of them, either on, accouiit of their in dulgence to the errors of their neighboars, or their own carelessness, or any motive of a worse kind—such as servility to the patron front whom they have received their livings. They •liould be told, that the Committee had already evi dence of what !hey were studying to conceal, mud that henceforth mess's ryes would be turned Isom the shoves themselves to the Reverend Gentlemen whys ere the causes of suppressitos them. He would appeal to the Gentlemen of the Committee, whether they had ever known such monstrous abuses as some that had come to light. hs a free grammar-school, at Hartley, Herefordshire, certain scholarship' had been established, with funds for an allowance of 141. a year on going to Cumbridee yet not one had been Sent from that place to Cambridge for the last thirty years. In Essex, in the year 1584. two hundred acres of good trod was granted to found a school, yet too scholar was ever kept. In Dorsetahire, a donation of a good house and farm. worth from two to three hundred a year, had been made for the tame pur 7 patie, with the some result. In Devonshire, an estate, formerly let at a rent of 1,000/. a year, now it ouly 660/., had heru given, among other put- Ooses, for keeping a school ; the truste e s h a d allotted 4!. a year to that specific end—an instance occurred of a gift for creating certain scholarships— the funds were under the patrobage of the heirs of a Noble person—the heirs left it to the steward, the steward to a very respectable tierioutige in his way. the game-keeper—the game-keeper thought the scholarships might well he dis'peo-ed and they were never filled. In Worcestershire neat 3001. a year had been left to endow a poor school. The head master received a salary of ISO/. a year, and a com fortable house; the second 90/. a year. The foods, which might educate nearer four than three hundred chifdrier, were not applied to the eihication of one. ,Ile was cUlltsig out thy principal cases, and di.l took state more than one in trio.

Mr. CANNING obtained kart I. brim= in a Bill to remove doubts room ctiong the validity of cei fain mai Amos con tracted in the British tersitiwies in India —The Bill was brought in, read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time to-usurruw. Sir S. ROMILLY wished there were not an many different s►atutes under one head of the law. Taking the law, however, as it stood, he thought the pre sent Bill a great improvement of it. He did not see how, when the Hoare had rejected the Bill brought in by the same Hon. Member, that brought in the one under consideration, to legali.e the sale of game, they could refuse the present. What would the House think uf a Legislature that visited theft with the severest punishment, but euacted that the receiving of stolen goods was no crime ? (ffear, hear.)—Yet this was the spirit of our Game Laws ; and a greater inconsistency never was found in the laws of any country. He did not know why they Fame principles of morality were not brought into practice in regard to offences against the Game Laws as on other subjects ; or how Gentlemen could reconcile it to ttiettiselvts to purchase game not to be acquired by the selleilt withoult a violation of law —a ♦iolation, too, most minnow to the character of the people, and leading to all sorts of crimes. He did not understand how .tht House could punish the sellers of game, while they protected the buyers. A mischief peculiar tte the present system wilt, that the lower orders broke the law without any com punction, and in cue of punishment following their offence, thought themselves treated with uueqoal hardship. It led to similar infractions of I.ror among the higher orders— such► as placing of spring gnus in woods, and other open places, of the illegality of which there cotiM be no doubt. He did not 'green to say thut the nature of the laws themselves was at together the cause of that habitual disregard that was Irani to them ; but there must bt something like a source of crime in them, when twette htYu tired individuals had been imprisoned together nu der their operation, exposed to corruption end de pravation of character, and afterveards turned kart own, the country.
