THE GAME LAWS. In addition to the heavy hit of charges, which, ac the farmer's friend, we have lattn.y had occ,t-ion to exhihit against a large portion of the landed propti- tar) of this cotuVry, we have now to exhibit tt , e rt.l etaich it.fl'etrd on the tenant-farmers exclusivoly, we might almost say universally, by the operation of the game- laws. We are aware that there among lancifittls some, we hope many, honourable exeptions to that rceltles's, ruthless spirit of game preserving by R h:elt most of the rural gentry are infected. 'natever else of burdens may be taken from the shoulders of the tenant•farmer, either by landlords themselves or the Legislature, we are fully persuaded that no such substantial relief will be afforded to him as shall enable him to sustain the severe competition to which ho will henceforward find himself exposed, so long as this im pediment to the spirited outlay of capital, and the earnest application of skilful industry, is allowed to re main in the active operation in which it now exists in many districts. It is of no use for a nobleman or gentleman to say, " I make an abatement of rent to my tenantry suffi cient to cover the loss which they sustain by my gam© preserves." When these preserves—more especially of hares and rabbits—are allowed to swell out to the extent to which they are carried on numerous estates, we are fully persuaded that no such satisfactory abatement ever takes place—the tenants themselves being judges; and it is upon this judgment that everything iu the question depends. We have, it is true, heard a tenant-farmer, when challenged in public by his landlord in reference to this subject, admit that he was satisfied by the abate ment of rent made to him for the damage done to his crops by the game on the estate ; but we never heard a farmer express his opinion on the subject in private, but that it drew from him the most bitter invectives against the landlord or his agents, for making him, or allowing him to be made by others, the victim of such a degrading and ruinous system of spoliation. We say a degrading system—and we use the term advisedly— for we are certain that every intelligent, high-spirited agriculturist feels himself more degraded by the game laws than by any other circumstance connected with the tenure of his land. We just invite our readers, in order that they may the better be enabled to enter into the feelings of the farmer upon this subject, to accompany us into the lands of a personal friend of ours—an industrious, hard-working man, and, withal, as good a practical farmer as need to walk over the broad acres of Eng land. This person rents a farm of considerable ex tent in a certain division of this county. His landlord is a liberal Peer; but an inveterate, despotic, mercenary game preserver. Well, but to the farm: wherever you may go—whatever cropping you may inspect—there, we will engage for it, you shall encounter hares, not in units or tens merely, but by scores; and those in addition to a large amount of feathered game, both partridges and phea sants. Within the last fortnight, the occupier of this farm was induced one evening to visit a field of seeds, in order to ascertain whether they would bear stocking for a few weeks with about forty or fifty ewes and their lambs, when, to his extreme mortification, he found that the crop, so valuable to him at this season of the year, and more especially for the purpose for which it was then required, had been literally eaten close down by the hares, not fewer than eighty of those vermin being at the time of his visit engaged in quietly feeding upon them. Now, we ask, was it in human nature that a man should feel other than at once indignant and degraded by such a circumstance as this. If there was a single practice of bile or bitterness, in such a constitu• tion, could the man do other than curse the selfish despotism which inflicted such a wrong upon him— was there a single spark of pride in his bosom, could he do other than feel the flush of shame upon his cheek, from the reflection that he was compelled to witness such a spoliation of his property, and yet dare not, through dread of his landlord's myrmidons watching his movements, perhaps through the apertures of half-a dozen hedges about him, to fray the vermin from their prey ? _ Upon this farm of about 400 acres, and upon many others of a similar extent iu this county, it has been estimated that, at scarcely any period of the year, is there fewer than five hundred head of four-footed game to be found, besides birds, and at particular seasons many more. Look at this picture again, gentle reader ! Eighty old strong hares feeding altogether upon about twelve acres of clover seeds, and the tenant of this land—the man by whose sweat and toil, and the application of whose hard earned capital the crop has been raised, compelled to stand by and dare not so much as clap his hands—or fling up his hat—or give them an halloo, to drive them away, in order to make room for his ewes and lambs, without incurring his landlord's displeasure —or, mayhap, subjecting himself to the costs of an infraction of the game-laws. Why—was there over anything equal to this rural despotism, in a state of society like ours, in any country, or, at any period of the world's history ! And what adds to the enormity of the tyranny is, that, in numerous instances, as in the case under considera tion—the proprietor, after all, is not a man who takes pleasure in field-sports —one who has a peculiar taste for this description of butchery himself, and lives jollily and cheerfully among his tenzntry—dispensing to those who have fed the animals the proceeds of his days of slaughter—but, one who, atter having drawn from the occupiers of his lands the last shilling for their use, which aristocratical cupidity can extort from patient industry —either re-lets, as it were, the laud to some amateur game-butcher ; or else, employs a little army of ignorant, and oftentimes brutal watchers and keepers under him to commit trespass upon his tenant's occupation and sell the game, fed at their ex• pense, in the public market of some neighbouring town for his own exclusive benefit; and these are the acts, for sooth, of farmers' friends! and it is to uphold, in all its odious integrity, a system like to this, that the cry fur Protection to Native Industry' —or, in other words to enhance the price of bread by a penny a pound to the labouring population, by shutting out the competition of the foreign grower— is raised by the mass of landed proprietors, and their retainers in all parts of the country. But is it possible to suppose that such hollow pro fessions of friendship shall not be seen through—or such profligate invasions of the rights of property as are involved in game preserves, by those who are ostensibly the peculiar conservators of property, should be much longer tolerated in a nation where the bulk of the people possess such an innate love of justice—such a correct appreciation of the natural claims of industry as in this country ? Certainly not ! the day for the entire overthrow of this debasing, de moralising system of feudal plundering of the cultivators of the soil may not have fully arrived—but it is o❑ the way, and certainly near at hand. We will resume the consideration of this subject next week, when we will endeavour to place the injurious operation of these laws under another aspect to our readers.—Nottingham Mercury.

On Monday, Mr. Peter Mann, chief clerk of the Leeds Waterworks Company, was further examined before the sitting magistrates at the Court-house, Leeds, on a charge of having embezzled a sum of nearly 5,0001, the property of his employers, the Waterworks Company. The investigation, which was taken before Mr. Carbutt, Mr. Monkland, and other justices, occupied a considerable time, in consequence of the necessary reference to the books in which the ac counts of the company kept by the prisoner were entered, but the facts lay within a very narrow compass. Mr. N. Preston, a clerk in the service of the company, produced a number of "rent cash-books," each being made for a separate half-year, which purported to contain the parti culars of the various sums received on account of water rents by the collectors, and paid to the primmer. The entries of these sums in the rent cash-books, as well as in the general cash book, into which the sums purporting to have been so received were, or should have been, correctly entered, were in the hand writing of the prisoner during the year 1847, but during the whole of that year the entries in the general cash book do not correspond with the entries of the receipts from the collectors of the water rents. There is an entry of the accounts for the year 1847, having been audited by two directors on the 6th of May, 1848, but witness was not present. The " rent cash-books" were at hand for audit if they had been required, as well as the general cash-book. In 1848, during the ab sence of Mr. Mann, Mr. Preston was in the habit of receiving the rents from the collectors, and handing the cash-box and the key to Mr. Mann, on the follow ing morning, or the morning of the second day, but he made no entry in the " rent cash-book," leaving that to be done by the prisoner. The sums paid in by the collectors were entered in their collecting books by themselves or other clerks. During Mr. Mann's absence for three months of that year (1848) Mr. Preston received the rents from the collectors, and made payment thereof to the treasurers, Messrs. Beckett and Co. The accounts for 1848 have nit yet been audited, in consequence of the Michaelmas survey of emp'y pro. pert} not having been completed, and other charges for water supplied under special circumstances, not having been adjusted. Mr. Robert Bird, who had been a col lector, of the oompany since February, 1846, states that his duty was to go to the office of the company every night, and there to enter the water rents he had collected during the day in a book called the collector's water rent book. When he had so entered them in detail, he had to make out an account on a piece of paper specifying each portion of the year to which the accounts received related, as sometimes there were arrears received. The accounts of water rents were formerly presented half yearly, but now quarterly. Mr. Mann s i gne d a receipt in the book in red ink for the sums the collectors paid him, and it was his duty to enter those sums in the " rent cash-book." All the entries made by Mr. Mann in his presence were correctly made in the collector's water rent book; but sometimes it happened that Mr. Mann was not at the office in the evening, and then he 1: ft the money with another clerk, who locked it up !a a cash. box and gave it to Mr. Mann when he came, and wit nese frequently found when he went to the office next morning that Mr. Mann had correctly entered the money he had left over night before his arrival. All the pay ments he made to Mr. Mann were in that manner cor rectly entered.—Mr. Richard Newton, another collector, gave similar evidence as to the course of business, and said that the prisoner had always correctly receipted at the foot of the daily accounts the moneys he paid him or left for him.—Mr, Preston, on being recalled, said that ler the last three or four years the arrears of rents re ceived are partly in the handwriting of other clerks, and for the last three or four qu r(ers the entries in the rent cash book are princip a lly i n the handwriting of other clerks —Mr. Mallinson, a ledger clerk in the batik of Mes4rs. Beckett and Co., the tra-asnrers to the N.Va'er works Company, referred to a pass book showing the account between the bank and the company from January 1, 1841, to December 31, 1847, and a sub sequent book bringing down the account to the present time. The moneys were generally paid in by Mr. Mann; eectisionatly by Mr. Preston. The money was generally drawn out by cheques signed by di; ectors, aed re cently they have: beets countersic,rt,ed to the chief clerk. The 1)74,, WEIS P.i; the eial by the three geutlemen who were rox.aLore of the barou fluid Pt.c,..;unts ilk 1848, anti dtted October 18; there were also the initials of two of the directors. — Mr. J. R. Bywater said that be had been employed during the whole of last week in. jar-esti geting the accouots of the Leeds Waterwerks Com pany. He had looked into the rent cash-books par tially, but more particularly into those from Feb. 28, 1847, to Dec. 31, 1847, and those from Jan. 1 to Dee. 31, 1848, and from the latter period to :March 31, 1849. Witness produced an account which he had drawn out of the sums received by Mr. Mann from the col lectors, as shown by the rent cash-books, and also the amounts yield by him to Messrs. B dcett and Co., during the ten months from February 28, 1847, to December 31, 1847, which showed a balance against him during that period of 1.3101. Ils. sd. The rent cash-books from which this account was made up, do not appear on the face of them to have been before the auditors, thetigh there was an audit of the accounts for that period, by the company's auditors on the 6th of May, 1648, and on the 18th of October by the auditors of the town council. The general cashbook, which ap pears to have been before the auditors, agrees, so far as relates to the payments made by Mr. Mann to the treasurers during those ten months, with the pass book of Messrs. Beckett and Co. He was not able to mention any particular sum which Mr. Mann had received from the collectors, and had withheld, as he paid in several days' receipts at one time, or at least a sum on account of those receipts. The cash account fur 1848 had not yet been balanced and consequently not audited ; but a " rest " was taken of the receipts to Dec. 31, 1848, and that showed that the prisoner bad paid to the trea surer 3,0501. 4s. Id. less than he appeared, by the rent cash-book kept by him, to have received from the collector during that year. In the three months ending 31st March, 1849, there was a similar deficiency of 3421.15. 2d., making an aggregate deficiency of 4,7831. 16s. Bd. As the witness was unable to state any particular sums which the prisoner had received and not paid over, the further examination was adjourned until Monday next, for that to be ascertained. THE NAVIGATION LAWS. It almost escapes the public attention, and may there fore be very properly suggested to the notice of the Lords, that the question does not lie between the present Navigation Bill and no Bill at all. The state of the law, the difficulties cf its working and even of its interpretation, the commercial treaties now about to expire, the just demand of foreign States, the urgent wants of our colonies, and the recent surrender of colonial protection, all call for a prompt and extensive readjustment of the present system. Something must be done, and so far from the Bill just brought into the Lords being a premature measure it has already been delayed rather too long. The question really lies between a general, a simple, and a generous measure on the one hand, and, on the other, a vast and compli cated system of patchwork compromise, which will only render confusion still more confounded, and which it will be necessary to cobble again before two sessions are over. On the immediate necessity of great alterations all authorities are unanimous. Ministers, present and past, shipowners, Free traders and Protectionists, agree that something must be done, and the strongest opponents of the Ministerial measures has apologized for their hosti lity with the remark that they are prepared fur a moderate relaxation of the law. There appears, how ever, to be a singular horror of positive suggestions. Neither Mr. Herries, nor any of his more youth ful allies, have ventured to inform us what they would do. We are not surprised at their shirking a difficulty which they cannot feel more strongly than we do ourselves. Such responsibilities, however, do not always admit of evasion or postponement. Should any chief in the Upper House, confident in his genius, his rank, his position, or his fate, muster names enough to de feat the present Bill, he must be prepared with his own solution of the difficulty; and we venture to assure him that many and great as are the burdens a Protec• tionist Minister would find on his shoulders, not the least wilt be the duty of adapting our Navigation Laws to the changed circumstances of the empire. Should there be any man in either House ready to undertake this onerous office, and should he also succeed for the space of two or three years we neea go no further back than Monday night for a warning of his eventual destiny. The most unqualified, as well as the moat able speech of the evening, going, indeed, still further than the Ministerial measure, was made, not by some enthusiastic novice, not by the disciple of a new and more absolute school, but by one of the very men who only four years since framed, introduced, and passed the Navigation Acts in their present amended form. Those Acts, consi dering the circumstances of that day, were just such a moderate reform as, we presume, Mr. Herries or Lord Stanley would recommend to the present Par liament. They would merely repair the old vessel, caulk up its seams, replace its decayed wood, and add a few bits of improvement. We will not even guess how they would deal with Canada, with Russia, with Prussia, with Holland, or whether they would even attempt to add new facilities for the importation of raw materials. We will suppose them so ingenious, so bold, and so successful as to frame, to introduce, and to pass a new Navigation Bat of a mode rately progressive character. By the example of Sir James Graham sacrificing the navigation-laws, as Sir Robert Peel Lad previously sacrificed the corn-law, it may be confidently predicted that in three or four years the author of such a new naviga tion•law, peddled and patched up on the same fatal model, will stand up in Parliament and tear into Mart ds his own once cherished workmanship. The only doubt or curiosity we feel about the matter refers to the manner in which such a man as Lord Stanley will perform his political penance. Peel was a an whoa! work it had been fur years the " the struggling pings of conscious truth to hide," and accordingly he recanted with a fury of penitence which his party could not follow for very shame. Graham has retracted with an easy composure which altogether escapes animadversion. Time only may show how Stanley, or any other Pro tectionist, would pass a moth rate Navigation Bill in 1849, and pronounce it a mischievous failure in 1853. Surely there are men in the Lords who can sue that dignity es well as political morality requires the adoption of a course which can stand the consequence of its own success. The opposition to the pending measure ought, in our humble opinion, to be much more practical and constructive than it has hitherto been. When a change is wholly wanton and gratuitous, it may be enough to demolish it, but when a change so tar from being unnecessary is thrust upon us by the course of events, the only proper reply is a substitute. Instead of telling us, what is nut always so agreeable to the ears of ship owners, of the vast increase of shipping under a protec tive system, and other arithmetical generalities, let Lord Stanley, or some of his friends, tell us how they propose to meet the existing pressure on the Government. How will they deal with Canada? How will they make the route of the St. Lawrence as cheap as that of the Erie Canal? How will they put the upper province on a par with the neighbouring States of the Union? Will they open the commerce of the West Indian islands ? What sort of treaties will they propose to the various European Powers with whom we must shortly be in communication on this delicate subject? Will they attempt to remove the ridiculous anomaly by which we can import articles in any stage of ! manufacture from European ports, though we cannot im port, in the very seine ships, the very same materials in a raw state? Will they pay any attention to the circum stance that us the law now stands our merchants cannot touch numerous articles of tropical produce at their natural depots, in ports where our vessels are continually looking for cargoes, but must leave the article where it is abaudant and cheap, and seek it for themselves, at mach cost of time, money. and life, in remote, deadly, and inhospitable coasts? Will they continue the prohi bition of foreign-made ships in the British trade under all circumstances, and the vexatious restrictions on the employment of foreigners ? Will they carry out the principle of indirectly taxing our staple menu actures for the supposed benefit of a carrying trade which those very manufactures have created ? Will they leave the navigation-laws in such a complex state that shiposvacrs and merchants had need be lawyers to know what they are about, and the most cautioos and honourable men amongst them arc continually offending to their cost? Unless they are prepared to act wholly in the dark, and plunge themselves and the nation into an en tanglement from which they cannot escape without Utter loss of credit, they will consider beforehand what they will do, as well as what they will oppose. If they have a rival measure, let them give us the oppoueunity of selecting between it and Lord John Russell's. If they have not, they must allow us to put up with the only 1 actual alternative.— Times. EMILY SANDFORD. TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SUN. SIR,-It will be an act of justice on your part to ad mit the reply of a subscriber to the fund for Emily Sand ford to the animadversions on that subject in your paper of the 23d. I shall consider the case on its own merits, setting aside the comparison with that of Eliza Chestney, as not a fair argument against the contribution for Emily Sandford. I regret that this sub,cription was not prefaced by a full statement of the grounds on which it was raised ; for the destitution of its object was the weakest of them. The strongest was, that she had turned from the error of her ways," with feelings still manifestly under the influence of her tyrant. One who heard her evidence in court, and sympathised with a woman's heart, perceived that her tones became tremulous from tenderness in addressing Rush. Was it less an effort to decree his doom because his guilt was of so deep a dye? No; the very fact of the peril in which he stood, appealed more than all, to her love. She could not so have acted from any motive but a revive d sense of duty. Had she made use of certain cant phrases, she would have been placed in the favoured class of Magdalens', anointing the Sa. viour's feet—but, like Mary Magdalen she did, and said not. _ - In conquering herself to b3ar witness to the truth, she gave you, Sir, a right which, acc , r.!ing to the judge, you would not otherwise have had, to stigmatize her as the paramour of a murderer. For these reasons I offer her my small subscription, with more ev( n of lespect than of pity—and I will here add to it my earnest wish, that ht her future retirement the mother's sins and sorrows may, through the Providence which is always bringing good out of evil, b-come bless ings to the child by the lessons they will have left en gr.ven on her own mind. Tiles', are not the sentimentalities of youth ; u may look upon them as the puvrihries of one from whom youth has long passed away. I ate, Sir, &c., AN OLD MADER. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY,--A Board of Admiralty , cniisisting of Captain the Hon. M. F. F. Berkciey, M P.; Captain Alexander Milne, R.NT ; Itadwin Walltrr, K.C.8., Survoyor of th e N a vy; and Mr. Isaac Watts, Assistant Surveyor, arrived at this port at 11 this morning, and were received at Gosport station by Flag-Lieutenant Cochran, who conducted ihem to the Commander-in Chief, in whose barge they crossed the and commenced their inspection , first going on board the Arrogant, 46, Captain FitwroY; thence visiting the Plumper screw-schooner, Commander Nclloth; and the lleynard schooner, Commander Cra: croft, respecting whose armament the visit was princi pally occasioned. A long examination of several of the superior officers of the two latter vessels as to their opinion of their various qualities ensued, but as cach person was examined privately in the c a pt a in' s cabin, we are not in possession of what took place. 'l l ?€' Board afterwards visited the Blenheim, 56, Caption Austin, C.B. In all ships the guns occupied much at' tention, having been worked for the purpose of ascer taining if their was sufficent room to tight them. The haulm: eke were also hung up to see it sufficient accom modation for the crew existed. After a cursory inspec tion of one or two other objQcti in the dockyard, and a conference with the principal officers, the Board returned to town. A board of scientific officers, consisting of Mr. Mur ray, superintendent engineer of this dockyard ; Mr. Dinnen, inspector of machinery, of Somerset-house, late of the St. Vincent; and Mr. 13,ker, inspector of machinery, of the Royal yacht, is ordered to survey and report upon the state of the engines of the Sidon steam trigale. \VEDNESDAY.—A most awful accident happened yes' terday alf-rnoon in this dockyard, which is expected to terminate fatally to one or more persons. As a gang Of men were employed on the new dock, building by Mr. Bramble, at the north corner of the yard, in working the " traveller" of the tramway, supported on piles for rats' ing and lowering stones into the basis of the fabric from a lighter moored alongside, the gear broke, and the, " traveller" went over the rails into th e li g h ter , and most seriously injured two men in the vessel; and cragged several others from the scaffolding support ing the tramway. Some fell into the vessel, and others into the water. Six men were maimed, three of them dangerously. Three of the most 'seri ously injured were conveyed to the Portsmouth, Portsea, and Gosport Hospital. One man, whose leg was so severely injured and lacerated (a bolt having stuck into his thigh tour inches deep) th a t the only chance of saving his life was by removing the limb above the joint, had that operation most skilfully per- formed by Dr. E. J. Scott last night by gaslight ; little hops, however, are entertained of his recovery. Another man had both legs broken—one in three places ; it is much feared he must lose it, but he is not in a state at present to undergo the operation. The third is seriously injured in the chest and head. The greatest attention was promptly affurded by the Excellent gunnery shirt and the poor sufferers were taken to the hospital up?° the shoulders and in the arms of the crew of that stop, which is moored adjacent to the spot where the accident occurred. The medical officers of the Excellent {Nero the first in attendance, and accompanied the sufferers to the hospital. The less injured were conveyed to the medical department of the dockyard, where they received the promptest attention from the officers of the establish" melt. The cases of these poor teen illustrate in a most striking light the value of such a benevolent institution as the Portsmouth Hospital. The poor fellows were not admissable into the Naval Hospital, and but for the este blishment of the former, would have had no place of re' ception where heir cases could have been done justise to neural. than Winchester.
