GAME LAWS. Copi of a letter addreined to the Chairman of the GoruMittee of the How of Commons, ou the Bill for the Sale of Game, is the month of March, 1830. Standard, March, 1830. SlB,—llaving carefully perused the Game Bill now be fore the Committee of the House of Commons, which Lord Wharactiffe did me the honour to send me, I cannot re main ailent uptin the subject, snore particularly as I have Witeeesed eo.much distress and misery in the various coun ties 14 which .I have resided from the Gum Laws, and if that most objectionable part of our feudal system is still to ,rnnaM as a diegrace to the annals of our Legislature, I am as a melioration of them, respectfully to offer to YeleAerious consideration my remarks upon the clauses I, lerein: Page b.—Agreeably to the Game Bill now in force an , Ecclesiastical Living, which a man holds in right of his ,Church, is a life estate which qualifies him to kill Game, although it may happen to be determined sooner, as l'y re signation, deprivation, or by accepting another living in compatible, and it may be proper to continue that clause for the benefit of gentlemen of the Church. It is there fore submitted, whether a half-pay, or pensioned Officer of t he navy and. army, whose life annuity in one, or both to gether, 401 not be by the Bill now before the Committee qualified to kill Game. It is further submitted whether all .14164 of an Esquire and of higher degree shall not be t0.,)611 Game as well as the sun and heir appa tent,particolarly as the Game Laws were instituted fur the tilatet. gentlemen and not for inferior tradesmen and mechanics. In the Act now in force many tradesmen, by "accumulated wealth and who still keep ' , bops, are qualified to kill,G the not '" I gip junior sons du Esquire, who do anyP.aisPngitty.ta the 'mount required,. can be, by t roultles,,eitr ..Pere - en, prevented front enjoyingr that sport which the origanaftritention of t h e . Act purposed they should 'partake of 4 '"'.7l l rtude of 111Anors ought not to have the power to give utiqualdied person; permission to kill Game upon -th i• e l P 1 94 1 such additional privilege would cause _,11"4190re. j e a lousy 'amongst the oth er unqua lifi e d c l asses as as amongst the lower orders of people, who will have from off the farina upon which they labour, and Rl* any o re,nxious to power themselves of it, should they fattliet extension of privileges to Lords of Manors. is also submitted whether it will not be giving too great a stretch of power to. a Justice of the here, or a Lord of a Manor, to vest either with authority. t ° take forcibly private property arid keep the same for his own use. A grin, net, dog, or any other engine, although in the use and vete property. possession of an unqu alified man, is his pri beile may be tu rne d i nto money f or t h e one o f of his faMily ; s h ould he transgress the law with all of theee, let }M I pa y a forfeit , but let him enjoy the; bene fi t of th e art i cles. P. 14 . —The . framer of this clause did not consider what feuds and diseentions are likely to arise amongst neighbours and others who are qualified to kill Game, many of whom have no manors ; the mode appears too tumniary, and will cause very unpleasant feelings amongst sportsmen. • P• 15 . --It is submitted that the penalties, as may be aitan ged theOughout t h e whole of the Bill, should be de : hell* Paeliamenti • and not left to the discretion of the Megistretr or * Magistrates tm increase or diminish as he or 'theyehallieemoneet.

ADDRESS TO THE BELGIC Last night a.iueetiog was held in the :Rotunda, near Blackfriars-bridge, of the Metropolitan Political Society (to which the public was admitted on the payment, of 2d. each person), to consider of an address to the Belgians on their late successful resistance to the Dutch soldiers. There were nearly 1,500 persons present, including several females, some of whom wore tricoloured bows in their bonnets and caps. Mr. Howe took the 'Chair at half-past eight, and ad. dressed the meeting at very great length. He gave a de. tailed narrative of the occurrences of the Belgic insurrec. tion, and eulogized in the warmest terms the heroic con duct of the population of Brussels. He then narrated the transactions connected with the Manchester meeting in 1819, and the sufferings he had endured for, his share in it. He then gave a picturesque account of the meeting on the very spot (Peterloo) in last August, and said that he was credibly informed that nearly 40,000 of the people who assembled on that occasion were armed, and that had any attempt similar to that of the yeomanry in 1819 been made on them, far different would have been the result of the day. The people were determined never again to be so treated.—(Cheers for some time.)—He expressed a hope that none of the speakers would give expression to overwarm language in the excitement of their feelings.— (Hear.)—They would be better able to serve the cause of freedom out of the Attorney-General's clutches than in them. After reviewing the fate of the Ministers, Liver pool, Canning, Huskiseon, and Castlereagh, who , had countenanced the yeomanry proceedings of 1819, he con trasted the conduct of the French people. after having fought for and obtained their liberty, with that of the Belgians, who were not, he thanked God, king-mad.— (Tremendous cheering.)—They preferred the cheap re publican form of . government. Give the people of Eng land a House of Commons chosen by themselves, and he would be for the system of King, Lords, and Commons; but should the people of this country be's° oppressed as to make resistance a duty, and that he should survive the struggle, he for one should be for a republic the remainder of his life.—(Great cheers.) Mr. HETHERINGTON moved the first resolution, one of thanks to the brave Belgic people, particularly those of Brussels, for their heroic conduct in the late struggle for freedom. Mr. WATsco.r seconded the resolution in a short speech. The resolution was then put from the Chair,and carried unanimously. Mr. SAvAcx moved the second resolution, to the effect that an address be presented to the people of Belgium from this Union. This gentleman spoke at considerable length in support of the motion, which was seconded by Mr. LYNN, and carried with acclamation. ME. MURPHY moved, and Mr. GRADY (both Irishmen) seconded, the adoption of an address, which the former read to the meeting, and which was unanimously adopted : after which one or two others addressed the assembly, which soon separated. SCOTCH PRESBYTERY. WITHDRAWAL OF THE REV. MR. IRVING. Yesterday the Presbytery met in the Scots!) Chapel, Chadwell-street, Pentonville, pursuant to adjournment at the last Sederunt, for the purpose of taking into consi deration certain grave charges preferred against the Rev. Edward Irving by the Members of the Presbytery, relative to the human nature of Christ. At twelve o'clock precisely the Rev. Gentleman against whom the alleged heresy was laid entered the Chapel habited in the University coat. The Itts. Mr. Caomms having taken the Chair as Moderator of the Assembly, The Rev. Mr. MILLER rose and put a resolution, to the effect " That the Presbytery do take such steps as may be deemed advisable, to ob , ain satisfactory explanations of certain passages contained in a work on the Human Na ture of Christ, written by Mr. Irving." He said that he had no personal motives in bringing the charge forward, but he did it as . the doctrines inculcated had caused much controversy and alarM in the Pret.bytery of which he (Mr. Miller) wa• a Member. He, horiever, conceded that the alleged errors were not inconsistent with the most fervent piety, or with holiness of life, anti that they were enter• rained by men of acknowledged piety and learning. The inquiry was still necessary, and if the doctrines themselves were Email, in justice to the hiller of theist, against whom false reports hail gone abroad, it was more so. The Rev. Gentleman then read various extracts from the work in question, of which the following is one : " What he (i. e. Christ) took to work upon was sinful, sinful flesh and blood. What he wrought into was sin less. The flesh he took underwent no change in its con ception, in its life, or in its death, hut in its resurrec tion it was altogether'clianol, and by this oneness of flesh and blood with us, he was One with us in all our tempta. dons and all our humiliations." The MODERATOR having read the resolution, it was seemnfed by the Rev. Mr. TAYLOR, and Mr. Irving was called upon for his defence of the tenets contained in hid Treatise. Mr. lama, who had paid great attention to the pro ceedinge; then rose. and delivered'a long speech with great animation. He contended that the doctrines for which he had been charged that day were the doctrines of the Church of Christ, of the Protestant Church throughout the world. He regretted that the . proceedlngs against hint had taken place,.not on account of himself, but on account of the Scottish Church. Such a proceeding had not taken place fur the last one hundred years. After other remarks he said he should move a resolution to the effect that the party bringing before the Presbytery the charge should be allowed to confess his fault,. in not having first communicated with him (Mr. Irving) ; before he com menced any proceeding against him. The departure, from such a course was a violation of the Canon Law, and he was not disposed to acknowledge the power of the Presby tery to answer him, because there was no appeal from such decision. The resolution was uot, however, seconded ; and several members did not agree with Mr. Irving in his construc tion of the course that shouhl have been adopted by the Rev. Mr. Miller. The AIODERATOn said he thought the best course would have been to have first conferred with M r . I rv i ng b e f ore the charge was brought forward. He conceived now, that a conference with Mr. Irving upon the tenets he had held out would be the proper course. The question was then put and carried. Mr. iumsra protested against being considered a party to the discussion, which was an lof►ingement of the Canon Law. lie said he should withdraw himself from the Presbytery, and not again take part with them till they respected this law. The declaration excited much surprise; and after a lengthened discussion, a Committee was appointed to in vestigate whether the contents of the publication were opposed to the standard of the Scottish church : the Re port to be made at the next meeting. The chapel was greatly crowded, and the proceedings excited much interest. - -- --- TRIAL OF THE REV. E. IRVING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. SlR,—Passing by a little Meeting-house this morning, near Sadler's Wells, I found some Scotch-looking people (many of them women) assembled, and was told that Mr. Irving was on his trill for heresy before the Presbytery. Curiosity induced me to look in upon this burlesque on a General Council. The culprit sat scowling over a Bible in the corner of the table-pew, muffled up in a cloak, with 'his black hair about his ears, and looked half martyr, half mountebank. Some little body, after a lengthy harangue, in which he professed much moderation, insisted on .the duty of the Presbytery to look after the orthodoxy of the Bock, and to pronounce what was orthodox. This was Popish enough, but there seemed no great danger of a burning at the stake ; the only object seemed to be, tai pro claim how much Mr. Irving's nonsense differed from the Church of Scotland's or John Calvin's nonsens.. As the subject was " The sitsfu!ness of Christ's Human Nature," the subject took a curious turn for the ladies— namely, that of the "generation of this nature out of woman," descended from fallen Adam ; with the question whether any thing took place in the mode and " at the moment of conception," by which the transmission of a corrupt nature was prevented. I use come of the tech nical expressions which I heard. Much to the praise of the young ladies, who formed a considerable part of the assembly, they continued in immoved attention, and neither they nor the matrons seemed at all discommoded. Alas, alas ! that instead of betting forth the precepts and consolations of our Saviour, the thoughts of men should be so perverted as to raise all manner of disgusting questions and filthy disputations about his nature, origin, and person.

OGLANDER, in his ,Memoirs of the Isle of Wight, written in 1700, gives us the following record of a blessing formerly enjoyed by that favoured spit. " have heard," says our author, "and partly know it to be true, that not only heretofore war there no lawyer nor attorney in the Wight, but in Sir GEORGE CARY'd time, 1588, an attorney coming to settle there was, by his corn mend, and with a pound of candles hanging at his breech, lighted, with bells about his legs, hunted out of the island." It is said to be highly probable that the House of Commons will postpone the consideration of electit.n petitions until after Christina.. This course was adopted upon the list occasion of a similar nature that occurred, and it is therefore inferred that, for the convenience of the House, it will also be pursued in the present instance. STEAM-BOAT EXPLOSION IN AMERICA.— (Ftom the Boston Gazette of September 14.)—A Cor respondent in New York lies sent us the following di.trese ing intelligence :—" The steam-boat United Stales, which left this city at four - o'clock this afternoon, fur New Haven, burst its boiler on its passage, opposite the Persi• tentiary on Blackweli's Island, a few miles from Curleer's Hook. In the alarm and terror of the moment, six or seven of the passengers awl crew instantly jumped over board, three of whom were picked up afterwards, and two, Mr. iltaaat CLARK, a merchant in New Haven, and ADFRRD Maaotr, a coloured man, were drowned , — Another passenger, Mr. Voocrzß, sprung into the water, and was taken up badly scolded and otherwise injured, and every attention paid to him that his distressed condi tion required. Three of the hands were seriously @raided, all of whom were carried to the hospital on their arrival one of them, CHARLES Bot.r.r.s, has since died, but the others, it is ,said, are. likely to recover. Mr. IllaißY SHELLY, of Guildford county. is badly injured, but it is supposed not dangerously. There were about 25 pas seugers on board. Captain • Exacatta states that the boiler contained but twelve inches cud a half of steam at the time of the explosion. He was standing in the bow of the boat, and was slightly - scalded.' The steam=boat is 110 mud: damaged, awl the cause of the melancholy acci dent is unknown.--I'. S. We have since Itaxneel that 12 hats were pi,kol up, four of which are recognised.

The late Mr. lIUSKISSON'S LETTER to the EDITOR of Mr. CANNING'S SPEECHES. " Downing.street, March 18, 1828. " I very much regret I did not in due time acknow ledge your kind attention in transmitting to - me a copy of Mr. Canning's speeches. On the day on which you called in Downing.street I was summoned to a Cabinet at the moment of your visit. " Understanding that there were some parts of the work to which► you wished to call my attention, I was anxious, before I expressed my thanks fur this valuable addition to my library, to have found time to have perused at least those portions of your hook. Unfortunately, I have since been so overwhelmed with official and other public duties of an urgent nature, that it has not been in my power to look into the work. I hope to find a little leisure fur this purpose during the approaching recess at Easter, when I have no doubt that I shall find that you have executed the task which you had in►poeed upon your self with a zeal corresponding to the sp►r►t and feelings which first induced you to embark in the undertaking. " You must allow me to add that it is to me a great gratification that you have recorded the private friendship and political attachment which subsisted so long, without interruption, between Mr. Canning and myself, in a work which is destined to convey to posterity the remains of his splendid talents as an orator—to exhibit his principles as a statesman—and to show with what energy sod suc cess he carried those principles into execution as a Minister of the Crown. " 1 have the honour to be, Sir, " Your very obliged and humble Nervant, " R. Therry, Esq." " W. HUSKISSON. CHURCH REFORM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SON. Sia,—Your able remarks upon Mr. Hippo's letter call forth my hearty thanks. I have your list of pluralities before me for the county of Durham. I shall in a short time send you the emolument received by each person, and also by the Preltendaties, a useless set to the State which endures them. Will the starving people of England in the present day allow those luxurious drones to wallow in abundance, and neglect their parishioners ? Are not three-fourths of the population against them ? Will the clerey be permitted to pass their time at water ing places, and leave their churches to the care of a curate at the annual stipend of 100/. a.year ? Reverend Gen tlemen of the College of Durham, the day is arrived when you will no longer be permitted to hold more than one living; and it is to be hoped that will be the means of making the Church more respected ; not holding out wealth as an inducement for the sprigs of nobility to enter it. May every town in England meet and assert those grievances —redress they will be sure to obtain. May you be rewarded for your impartiality, is the wish of A CONSTANT READER AND AN ENEMY TO CORRUPTION. Ch, ltenham, Oct. 10, 1830. THE KING'S OWN.—Of this popular talc of the sea by Captain ItlaaavaT, a contemporary remarks, " Whether the author feels himself quite independent of the service we know not ; but it is clear that he is a sea. man, and not either a purser, doctor, or marine officer ; sod it is equally clear that he lays about him, careless where his blows fall, and utterly reckless of comequences. tie is a man of genius, tro, a novelist of no common order —skilled in the construction of a plot—in the dramatic delineation of character, and especially in the description of those animating and absorbing incidents which so often arise, in his hazardous profession. He is the Seaman's Le Sage ; and whether he describe the character of the common sailor; the uneasy condition of the middy,' the toiling hopes of the lieutenant, or the anxious authority of the captain, it is impossible not to be struck at once with the entertaining character of the sketch, and the truth of the representation." ViENN&, OCT. s.—There was a great agita tion on 'Change to-day on account of the events at Brussels, and great losses were sustained yesterday even ing. Our • accounts from the Hague come down to the 24th September in the afternoon, and state that the Dutch troops were entire masters of Hruvels, and that Prince Frederick had male his entry into the city. This caused the funds to rise ; but to-day, on the receipt of contrary news, which was confirmed by the French Journals of the Mb, the funds again declined considerably. The incalculable consequences of this un successful attack make a very great impression on our merchants; they excite lively apprehensions that the in surrection in the Netherlands may spread further, and in t tl h r e e ir em w l iinshv.olvemtoheet E o u f ro th p n m ule holy h ave returned from Pressburg to Vienna. persona Gver i n ,e i l t o T i t g t i s no in war aga Count Orlufr will set out to-morrow on his return to St. Petersburg!). to the diplo inst Mt LB It 0 N OcT. 7.—A1l the country round us is perfectly tranquil, and there is n o truth in the reports of an insurrection in th e Hessian part of the Wen waliknearest to us. • PRODIGIOUS TURNIPS.,—On the Bth inst., Air.

Radeliffu'e ..... 2 FIGHT BETWEEN ADRIAN AND RANDLE, CoVENTRY, OCT. 19.—This match, which has ex cited more than ordinary interest in the local circles, was brought to issue this day in the historical and ancient village of Kenilworth, half-way between here and Warwick. These aspirants for fistic fame have contended before for mastery, when Randle was the victor., Their former contest was for 50/. aside, but the present one was for 1001. aside ; and all this important bustle (strange as it may appear to per sons not acquainted with the fun and frolic of a popular election) arose out of the result of the general election of 1826, when T. B. Fyler, and H. Heathcote, Ergo. , were declared duly elected ; and E. Ellice and P. Moore, E•grs., were defeated. Party spirit, both before and after an election, runs rancorously high in Coventry, and the Blues (advocates for Ellis and Moore) have never forgot or forgiven the defeat they there experienced. The yellow leyye,.:un's (advocates for Fyler and Heathcote) have not ceased to speak of their triumph with exultation, and went NO far as to say, that they svould have tat $ tnern. hers at the last election, but in this they were die. appointed. Randle is the nonpareil of the former of these parties, and Adrian the pet of the latter. Handle has always been known for his first rate science, and Adrian for being a glutton, i. e., taking a belly full. When they fought before, in the spring of last year, Adrian's friends considered he had not Leen properly trained or seconded (having for his attendant. two local acquaintanres, while Handle was waited upon by the veteran Tom Oliver, and Perkins the Oxford pet), and hence the present match. A great deal of chaff and numerous mee►ings have taken place, which has ended in nothing but words; but at length Adrian got his friends to back their opinion, and 100/. aside was made good on Friday evening last. The place of meeting was then appointed, having been won by toss, and Randle had the choice. When the match was first agreed on, betting was at guineas to pounds on the Nonpareil ; but as the time of trial drew near, Adrian's friends backe.l him at even,—and, in many cases, the odds were in his favour. No pains or expence have been spared by the friends of each man to have him well-trained, and get him in tip-top condition. Randle went under the tuition of Arthur Mathiron and Harry Preston ; and Adrian under the fostering care of Harry Jones and Alic Reid, the Chelsea snub; and, on appearance, it was impossible to say which was in the hest state. Tom Oliver, Fro Sty-faced Fogn, and Ned Stockman arrived on Sunday evening with the ropes and stakes, and pitched their tent at the White Lion. Long before day light this morning the Impede were on the move for the scene of action, and weAkles of every description in great request. As the morning further opened, it reminded us more of the cockneys going to the Epping hunt, or to to Epso►rt races, than is to he seen in these country places every day. It is computed that there could not be less than 20,000 persons on the ground. But come we now to THE 1,10111% About 20 minutes before twelve o'clock, Adrian hurled his castor into the ring, and immediately followed, in propria personw. Randle was after him in the twinkling of a bed-post; the former attended by Harry Jones and a yokel, and the Litter by Arthur Mathison and Harry Preston. Adrian sported pink, and %mile green. After the usual preliminaries had been gone through, the men stripped for action, when the blues (Randle's partisans) appeared to have been double-dipped ; Adrian was all health, flesh, and muscle; Randle, on the contrary, seemed to have lost what flesh he formerly possessed, and the general opinion was, that he had been over trained; still they had confidence in his tact and science; but to it they went, each bent on victory, and in the first round, Adrian got first blood, and first knock-down blow.— (Shouts by the Adrianites that made the %vain ring.) During the next eight rounds Randle's science bore him through ; hut in the ninth and succeeding rounds Adrian seemed to get stronger and stronger till the close of the battle, and Randle weaker and weaker. The fight lasted one hour and ten minutes, and consisted of thirty-four as well contested rounds as ever were fought in the brightest days of the Ring. REMARKS. This battle has done more to restore the 10.,t honours of the Ring than any of modern date. Here was no shuffling —uo trickery.- no chic.mery, hut each man did his best, and Randle, we trust, has not lost a friend, though he has been the innocent cause of their losing their money. The interest this battle has created among the circle where the parties are known is almost incredible. lint, as we said in our introduction, this was neither more nor lists than an electioneering contest. Adrian has improved since hi. last fight, astonishingly, and Ra n dle could not plant his btu*. as he did before, in addition to his imbecility when compared with the other's physical strength. A vast deal of money has changed hands by this battle ; as, thi. morning, Rantlle'd friends were backing him at five and six to four, end some were so confident, as to lay two to one; indeed we heard of one farmer who was in Co ventry on Sunday with several hundred sovereigns, which he was laying at two to one, and which were fresly taken. Randle is punished dreadfully, awl fears fur the conse quences are apprehended; he was carried ft um the ground to a coach, and taken to the Castle, where he at present remains. Adrian walked to his carriage, and has received but a small share of punishment. Just at this moment (five o'clock) Adrian has arrived in Coventry in a ba ronehe and four, handsomely decorated with pink favours and laurel leans, in company with his principal backers.

The tri.coloured flag has been hoisted at Florence and Lard Burghersh, who receives toms tkousinithi a year for enacting the part of English Minister in Tuscany, is residing in London, entirely occupied, as the. Papers inform us, in bringing forth at the King's; Theatre an opera of his own rompoiition ! The cause of the tri-colour wants no cheers from us; but we may exclaim well done Aristocracy ! All our readers may not know this musical Lord is the son of Lord Westmorland, the son-in-law of Lord Muryborough, the brother-in-law of Lord Jeraey, and the nephew, by marriage, of the Duke of Wellington. Such a connection would justify his absence from his post, even ut this important crisis in European politics. The English who rr mined at Brussels during the late fight, confident that, if an attack were intended by the Dutch, Sir Charles Begot would warn them of their danger, may well regret that that Right honourable Gentle. man was not callel to England to bring out an opera of his own composition. But perhaps we have no right to complain of Lord Burghersh's re sidence in : England. It may be that he is here for the purpoae of assisting his uncle-in-law in reducing the Civil List, of which his own pay forms no trifling item. If so, we beg the Noble Lord's pardon for mentioning the opera; if not, we refer the matter to the Political Unions !7-41.forn. arm Our cantempomry (the Scotsman) in letter to his Grace the Duke of Wellington, has the follow ing spirited observations on the subject of Refoint " 1 ask your Grace to et fleet on the nodal rauses of public convulsions.

Thanks to the noble-minded people of Paris, this delusion is now at an end. An uncontrolled popelaee, inflamed by three days` fighting, has exhibited a degree of nuirleratlon and forbearance which ought to redden with shame the facet of the Alanchester Yeomanry, and of the men who, acting with all the regular mathinery of Government be hind them, sanctioned so many acts of cruelty in Ireland in 1798. No rational person, will now believe, that revo lution among an educated and intelligent people, is syno nymous with massacre and pillage, or that. OcielY is to he tumbled from its base, by an extension of 'auttrsge, when even the lowest classes give such proofs of a capacity to act a dignified, rational, and virtuous part.
