'willingly submit to the irksomeares's of con iinement, or the comparative slavery of a life of daily labour. Hence it would appear proper to confine this right to the occupiers of the soil whose culture has afforded the game food and shelter, and who must have sustained losses in consequence thereof. And through the occu piers of the soil the right must be extended to the owners from whom the occupiers claim, in all cases where, by the express words of a lease, the right of sporting is especially reserv ed. When the right to the possession of land by occupation gave place to rights by the force of law, conveyances and wills, the game on the land would have followed the possession of the land, but for the circumstance that as wild animals are constantly changing from one place to another, the law could not assign an owner in whom the property might vest. It therefore gave it to the first taker, but it cannot be unjust to deprive a person of the right of being the first taker of game, any more than it was unjust to abolish tenure by occupation, a tenure, which, however, in certain cases of estates held for the life of another person, did partially exist up to the commencement of the reign of George 11. The right therefore of - taking game being con fined to the occupiers or owners of the soil, the uext question is, as to the qualification to k game. If idleness were the evil dreaded in the case of unrestrained liberty to kilt game where soever found, by persons other than • the occu piers or owners of the soil, the evil is equally to he dreaded, in the case of the owners of soil nol amounting to a certain annual value ; and there. fore whilst the liberty of taking game found upon their own land might be conceded to them, they ought to be restrained from killing game on another's land, even with his permission. 11. • vmg endeavoured to justify the principle on which the Game Laws are enacted, we must, as befo re said, aband on th em on t h e groun d o f a l e "rity.

" The Morails refuse to march against the Turks, unless the Greek Government sets their chiefs at liberty ; and as for the Mainotes, they do not seem disposed to serve the cause of the Greeks. Conduriotte has intervened between the Govern ment and Colocotroni to propose the command of the troops to the latter, who has intimated that he would not accept it unless all his companions were released with him, and the Ro meliot troops evacuated the Morea. " In Albania a considerable assemblage of troops is form ing, the command of which is conferred on Agomio Char dari, son of the Pacha of that province.

The Egyptians are not to be despised or laughed at ; they have attacked, and, in my opinion, have taken Navarina, although for want of arrivals we do not learn particulars ; yet it is certain desperate fighting has taken place. The son of Petron- Bey, of Maino, has been killed. Twenty-five thousand Alba nian Turks, and Greeks united, have invested Missolonghi. Patrass is relieved, and no Greek force is before .it. Ulysses (whose defection I mentioned in my last letter), is with the Turks. We hear nothing of any Turkish or Greek fleet. The Egyptian squadron has returned to Candia for further supplies." The Of Part of the Moniteur of Monday contains two Royal Ordinances :- 1.

After mass, the King received, with the custo mary f orma li t i es, t h e Portuguese Ambassador Extraordinary, who expressed himself as follows : " I am charge 4 by the. King my master to reiterate to your Majesty the felicitations which he has already addressed to you on your . accession to the throne of your ancestors, and to ex press to you the cordiality of the sentim e nt s of action and attachment which his Most Faithful Majesty entertains for your august person, and of the wishes which he, constantly makes for the prosperity of your reign." The King replied—" lam very sensible of this mark which the King your master gives me of the friendship he entertains for me. I attach the highest value to the preservation of the relations of friendship and harmony which happily subsist between the two Crowns. As for you, Sir, I congratulate you on the choice which his Most Faithful Majesty has made of you, by appointing you his Ambassador to be present at the cere mony of my coronation." His Excellency was escorted to the Tuileries and back to his hotel in the royal carriages, and all the honours shown to him that are due to Ambassadors Extraordinary. His Excellency was afterwards at the dinner given in the apartments of the Dauphin, at which Count de Cosse Brissac did the honours. At half-past one his Majesty presided in the Council of Mi nisters, and returned to St. Cloud at five. (From the Courier Francais.) PARIS, MAY 8.

The Journal de Paris, giving from the Argos of Buenos Ayres the statement that Don B. Rivadavia is appointed Mi nister Plenipotentiary to the Courts of England and France, adds the following note:— " We have no need to point out to our readers the improba bility, we may say the absurdity, of such a piece of news, at least as far as France is concerned. Even illegitimate Govern ments do not willingly expose themselves to receive an affront such as the refusal to receive their Ambassadors. Now, in the present state of things, and so long as the Spanish transatlantic provinces have not the sanction of the mother country to their independence, who thinks that France, without acting contrary to its policy, can enter into diplomatic relations with them ?"

THE THEATRE. DWURY-LANE.--The public were last !night gratified by a neW Tragedy en ti t l e d Tell, written by Mr. KNOWLES, who successfully displayed his dramatic powers in his Tragedies of rirginius and Caius Gi - acchus. The follow ing are the principal Characters in the Drauia of last night : Gesler Mr. Archer. sarnent M - r. Thomson. Braun - Mr. Knight. Albert - bliss Clara Fisher. Michael M ae - r. Wallaelc. agh Annei - Mr. Pentey • - - Miss . Povey. Agnes Emma - Mrs. Yates. - Mr. . The historical , events on which the story.of this play is founded must be too well known to Readers in general to require a detailed exposi tion, and we have not room to state the manner in. which it has been expanded on the present oc casion. The same :poetical energy which Mr • KNOWLES :displayed in las former works is strik ingly manifested in the drama of Willi am Tell. lie has drawn the hero of the Piece with great vi gour, yet amidst all the ardour of patriotism, he Las not exalted him above the qualities that be long to the husband and the parent. The, Author has followed .the,example of our early Dramatists, particularly SHAKSPEARE, in giving an alternation of comic scenes and those of a serious, affecting, and impressive description. Unless lie had adopted' this plan, the main plot would hardly have furniilwd materials for a Play of five acts ; yet it must be acknowledged that the most lively scenes, and those of the love-making kind, are not sufficiently marked by vis comica to excite much interest or amusement. However, to •use the words of the Poet, 'we are disposed to— Survey the whole, nor seek slight faults to fi n d " Where N ature moves, and rapture warms the mind." The piece altogether Certainly adMits of cur tailment, but as the first representation of a play may be 'considered aS" the last rehearsal, the general and particular effect can Only'be per ceived in the public reception; and the Perfoirn ers themselveS will best under Sand what can be most properly abridged or wholly • omitted:— The play was in general very well supported. Mr. MACREADY entered fully into the character of Tell, and gave a very impressive portrait of that genuine Patriot. ft is much to be regretted however that he continues the practice of lowering' his voice on -some occasions, insomuch that he is actually inaudable at a - very short distance, even in the side boxes, and must have been perfectly -. unintelligible at the back of the Pitt, the upper boxes, and the remote galleries. An Actor of his merit should be above following- the titlicit lous habit in this respect which Mr. KEAN has introduced on th e stag e . W LLAcv, displayed both comic and serious merit in his performance last night.

The play, as it well deserved, made a very powerful ha.. pression, and excited great applause. In 'obe dience to a general- call,- 'Mr. MACREADY came forward to announce its repetition with universal assent. We have reason to believe that the story which appeared in the Morning Papers of yesterday, among the Police Reports, respecting the Ma nager of one of the London Theatres, is too grossly improbable to deserve any degree of pub lic confidence. Its inherent improbability, in deed, would render it a matter of surprise that it should be admitted into any respectable Jour nal, except that, as it was stated in a Court of Justice, it became a subject of public notice. It is absurd t o suppose that a person, in conse quence of a casual intercourse, which, however improper in itself, must be of constant occur rence in a great metropolis, because he happens to be known, should be rendered responsible for every interested tale that artifice may invent, and every imputation that enmity may circulate. Such we are assured is the case in the present in stance, and the story itself manifestly bears inter nal marks of incredible malignity. But we sin cerely feel for the wretched female whose unfor tunate state gave occasion to this outrageous ca lumny.

The Anniversary Festival of this Institution was held yes terday evening in the Grand Masonic Hall of the Freemasons' :Tavern, SAKILLE ONLEY, Esq., 31. P., in the Chair, sup. ported by Lord Strangford, Si r T. R a ffl es, D r. Copeland, Dr. Southey, and other persons of distinction. After the cloth was removed, Non Nobis Dwaine was sung very effectively Valle professional gentlemen present. The Oral it MASt i . after a few complimentary and appropriate observations onthis Majesty's liberality to the Society, proposed the health of the King, the Patron of the Society. His Majesty's health was drank amid enthusiastic acclama tions, with three times. three, and followed by " God save the King," the company, standing. - The next toast was, " the Duke of York and the Army," which the Chairman introduced by declaring, that those who defended the country in the perilous times of war,, ought not to be forgotten.in the piping times of peace. Three times three—Song, "flail smiling morn." " The Doke of Clarence and the Navy." —Three times three; With a broadside of brimmers.—Song, `!‘ Itlkle Britannia;" ex -6.:llently well sung. The CHAIRMAN here declared; that he was informed but a few moments before he entered the Chair, of the necessity of his presiding over the festivities of the evening. That occur. red, in consequence of the absence of his Honourable" Learned, and truly respectable . Fri en d, t h e Chaiiman-Elect (Sir James Mackintosh) whose absence was prevented from illness 'alone; yet, whose anxiety M attend the meeting was so intense, that he did not abandon until the last . moment- the fond hope of presidin g ov er t h e b enevo l ent friends of literature and Literary men. if that Hon. Member were present, he would in his own inimitable style of fervid and fanciful eloquence en large upon the noble object of the Institution, on the hal lowed feelings' from which it sprung, and the holy cha rities and blessings which it shed on the • living relicts of genius —a blessing which, like the dew of _Heaven, fell upon them in the d ar k ness o f their obseurity, and the si lence of their solitude, unnoticed in its descent, yet felt and acknowledged in its effects.—tCheers.)—That eloquent Member would have, in such a discourse, produced the most sensible effect upon the feelings and the purse-strings of the meeting.—(Cheers, and laughter.) —For himself, he would not presume to attempt to impress upon the Society, the advan tages of an Institution with which its Members must have been acquainted; or they would not be then sitting around him. Ile would therefore confine himself to the enuncia tion of the toast, which would, he trusted, excite in the Meeting the appropriate sentiments of attachment and af fection.—(Applause.)—The Members of every profession, the Pulpit, the Bar, and the Stage, and, indeed, enlightened individuals of every class, were indebted to literary authors for the cultivation of all those intellectual qualities which rendered men useful to themselves, to their friends, and to their country ; and it was but just (putting party out of the question) that prosperous men of education, should, out of the overflowings of their fortunes, alleviate the personal distresses of living authors, or relieve the orphans of deCeased ones. lie would conclude by giving, " Prosperity to the Literary Fund Society." This toast was received with enthusiastic applause. here Mr. FITZGERALD ascended a table, and recited some verses written by him for the occasion, and which we shall take an opportunity of inserting. The health of the President of the Society, the Duke of So merset—Three times three. Song by Broadhurst, " Smile again, my Bonny Lassie." Doctor YATES read the report of the funds, and the list of donations to the Society ; the permanent prosperity of the in stitution was stated to amount to 20,0001. Among the nu merous benefactors, the name of his Majesty, and his annual gift of 2001. were received with loud applause. The list abounded with many illustrious names, and several splendid donations. The annual subscription of 101. from Miss Louisa Elope for the benefit of f e m a l e aut h ors , was h a il ed with uni vtrsalcheering. 't' he healths of Lord Strangford, of the Chairman, the Vice- Presidents,and the Stewards were. drank amid general applause. Several excellent songs were sung by the musical gentlemen in the course of the evening; and some nation a l a i rs p l ayed very tolerably by a military loand in the gallery, which was sprinkled with a few beautiful and fashionable females. None of the first-rate literary characters were present. The meeting, which contained about 140 persons, separated about ten o'clock, after an evening of very tranquil and moderate festivity.

The only other . alternative left to them was a return to their own. They are mostly Spaniards, and hid been all eminent until the - disasters of war made outcasts and. beggars of them.. Upon their arrival here, their appearance. and condition effectually interfered with the stability of the resolution which the Committee adopted to prevent the extension of the bene- fits of the subscriptionheyond those in whose behalf the pub lic had been appealed to. They were naked and .st.irving, and it was immediately resolved to render them the assist. ance which had been denied to them by the French audio rities. The,,funds for the relief of the unfortunate emi grants are now approaching to a low ebb. Three hundred and upwards are now we e kly rece i v i ng support, and there does. not at present appear to be any probability of any iiriportant diminution of the number of claimants. Without the assistance of the public; therefore, the committee appwhend a renewal of the scenes of distress to which the benevolent paldsciiirompt An - attention., It is confidenCy expec ed that ltsufficienttontribu tions be made to enable the poor foreigners.to strugglolu-ougk-, the ensuing winter, there will be no further oceadon to solicit , the.public chnti`y, - without which, however, it will soon be itn-. possible to continue to extend - the means'of exiatenee - 6 them. I r est.lday the Committee met to discuss the subject, the Lo4p, MAYOR in the Chair. They expressed their sense of the high ad_ vantages given to the cause, by that great engine for the remedy o` so many of the ills of ie— the pubic prea'. After having agreed in the necessity of supplying the wants of the new elaina r ,.; ants, they came to the following resolution :--.." The Committee - regret to state, that several more cases of extreme distress have c ane berore them, and that they have been compelled : to acirt.L.f4 o 1 their lists no less than fifty persons, the greater part of wharf...,, have' been under sentence of death or banishment, : and have been obliged to take refuge in this country by the•forcible " intervention of the Continental police, and • though nearly ninety individuals have been already permanently provided , for, yet these new and unanticipated acidithns cannot be con templated by the Committee without. considerable alarm andt anxiety for the rapid diminution of the funds ; they therefore m us . again appeal earnestly' 'and urgently to the benevolence of the public." Before the committee separated they found it neceS sary to reduce the allowance of each claimant.. They ate now paying nearly 2001. every week.. Lord Polrrssiourit, who is High Steward of the borough of Andover, attended last week the laying of the first stone of a new Town-hall for that borough, and afterwards at a grand dinner • given by the Corporation upon the occasion. Mr. HENRY FENTON GA RDNER has petitioned the House of Lords, and claimed the Gardner Peerage. The case is referred to a Committee of Privileges, and is to be considered on Thurs. day se"nnight, on which day the claimant is di rected to attend with the proofs of his case. The Attorney-General is also required to attend on. behalf of the Crown. • An article in a late St. Petersburgh Paper states, that in the Crimea many interesting arti cles of antiquity are occasionally met with.

T. DIXON, cf the same ship, who being disturbed from his sleep by the alarm created by this distressing occasion, most gallantly leaped from the ward-rogn window of the Victory, and brought the poor frightened b 4 3, • safe on board. SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday an , Inquest was held at the Duke of Wellington public-house, Wych-street, . Drury-lane, on Mrs. Martha Bromley, aged 48, wife to Mr. Bromley, auctioneer and appraiser, of No. 58, Wvch-street.— The deceased, it appears, was a strong and healthy woman, with the exception of a fit of apoplexy, with which she was attacked about twelve months ago, since which she would fre quently complain of head-ache. On Monday night last, about nine o'clock, after she had been conversing cheerfully with some friends, she sat down with her husband to supper. and while eating a radish, her head dropped and she appeared insensible. Her husband immediately went to her assistance and alarmed the house, on which Elizabeth Conway, a neighbour entered the place, and perceiving the dangerous condition of the deceased, she immediately went for medical as sistance, and Drs. Thomas of Leicester-square., and 'Weaver of Blackmoor-street, arrived, and bled her, but all to no purpose.. She died at three o'clock the following morning. Drs. Thomas and Weaver sent certificates, that her death was caused by apoplexy. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God." - EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN LINCOLN'S INN THIS DAY.—About half-past ten o'clock .this morning, the parish school-boys of St. Andrew's, Holborn, attended by their Churchwardens, beadles, &c. came in procession to the grand gate of Lincoln's Inn, and demanded admission : but having thundered at the gate for some time without effect, they retired, and by stratagem attempted to get admission to the boundary stone on the north wall, by entering the • premises of Messrs. Oliver and- Barteap. The LORD CHANCELLOR was presiding in the Halt at the time, and the officers and porters having re.. pelled them from the stone, they were placed at the different gates, which were kept locked during the morning, and at every spot where -k was likely an attempt woulti be made to enter.
