The jury, after a short consultation in the Court, inti mated to the Bench that there was no likelihood of their coming to an agreement, and they accordingly retired to the jury-room.

EAST COWES PARIC—The speculators in this spi rited undertaking have at length seen that the villas they have erected are too costly for their customers, and though when the grounds are in a more forward state, and they have obtained a better mode of communication to West Cowes, their beautiful villas will readily let, at present smaller ones are more needed.

We hope this project will net g o off in talk, as we are sure it will be the best they have undertaken.—Front a Correspondent. SAVINGS' BANKS.—As Trustees of Savings' Banks have the power of giving notice to any depositors to withdraw their investments, they would be acting wisely to exercise that power over all those who had no right to deposit in those inst i t u tions—persons well situated in life.

It appears by the China news that Teas were rather dear ; and this supports the market here. We have a stock of Tea on hand, as nearly as possible corresponding to that held last year ; and, up to the present time, the imports have fallen short, though still equal, within about 200,0001bs , of the deliveries for consumption.

THE INDIAN ARMY.—We are enabled by the fol lowing facts to contradict a statement quoted by us on Tuesday from a weekly Contemporary, respecting the appropriation of Indian military appointments. During a period of seven years, 128 direct cadetships have been given to the sons of officers of the Company's army, of and below the rank of captain and surgeon ; 143 to the sons of those of the ranks of major, lieutenant colonel, and superintending surgeon ; 77 to the sons of full colo nels and major-generals ; total, 348. During the same period 380 cadetships have been given to the sons of officers of the Queen's army and navy ; 205 ditto to those of clergymen, including Indian chaplains.—Times. The Archbishop of Canterbury has replied to the memorial addressed to him recently, urging upon his Grace the expediency of convening a meeting of the Bishops to consult upon the proper steps to be taken in the present divided state of the Church. The memorial was signed by the Dean and Chapter of Exeter, and was inserted in The Sun a few days since. The Archbishop's reply consists of a simple acknowledgment of the receipt of the memorial, and is couched in those terms of cour tesy and kindness which always mark his Grace's inter course with his clergy. TESTIMONIAL TO SIR HENRY POTTINGER.—A very influential and numerous meeting of the principal merchants and manufacturers interested in the India and China trades, convened by circular, was held in the council chamber, Town-hall, on Monday last, to consider the best means of testifying to Sir Henry Pottinger " their high opinion and personal approval of his firm, judi cious, and conciliatory conduct during his negotiations with the Chinese Government, and their acknowledg ment of the great advantages he has secured to the world at large, and especially to this town and neighbourhood by the liberal and , beneficial treaty which he concluded with China." Alexander Kay, Esq., the Mayor, pre sided ; and the feeling in favour of some appropriate testimonial of the sense entertained by the leading inha bitants of Manchester of Sir Henry Pottinger's services was quite unanimous, and very warmly expressed. It was determined to invite Sir Henry to a dinner, which, we understand, is likely to take place about the 20th inst. ,It was also resolved that a subscription should be en tered into, for the purpose of purchasing a piece of plate, or some other suitable testimonial ; and it will be seen that the call has been most cordially anal handsomely responded to by the public, for the sub scription already amounts to 2,0441. 59.—Manchester Guardian. A PRISON SCENE.--The following laughable dia- logue occurred on Friday last in the Jersey prison. Sir John de Veulle and Mr. Bisson presented themselves as visiting magistrates at the door of Mr. Wilson's room, about half-past ten o'clock. Mr. Wilson was not up. A knock at his door being heard, Mr. Wilson called out in the loudest tones, " Who's there ?" Answer—" Sir John de Veulle." Mr. Wilson—" Come in." sir J. de Veulle (Mr. Bisson remaining a little in the rear)—" I wish to know, Mr. Wilson, whether you have any com plaint to make ?" Mr. Wilson—" Five hundred. In the first place, where are your prison rules ?—they ought to be posted up in every prisoner's room ; but before I talk to you, take off your hat." Sir J. de Veulle—" Really, Mr. Wilson—" Mr. Wilson—" Take off your hat !" Sir J. de Veulle—" I moved my hat when I came in." Mr. Wilson—" Take off your hat, Sir, I'm bareheaded ! How dare you enter a gentleman's room with your hat on ?" Sir J. de Veulle—" Oh, if that is all you have to say, I shall leave you." Mr. Wilson—" Then take your self off." This unceremonious rejection of the bailiff's kind offices, tendered to the man he had imprisoned, must have somewhat startled and annoyed that func tionary ; more especially if, as we believe, he intended t o renew the offers fruitlessly made through Mr. Hammond. —Jersey Gazette. AIR versus STEAM.—The atmospheric railway from Kingston to Dalkey extends to one mile and three quay• ters ; the distance was performed in somewhat more than two minutes, or at the rate of 45 miles per hour. This is whirlwind pace. I seemed merely to get into the machine to get out of it, and had very little jaunt for my money. Another advantage over the steam loco motives, all travellers, whose nerves are not made of bell-wire, will appreciate ; the atmospheric carriages glide on with little more noise than Queen Stab's coaches ; their sound resembled most the rustle of an _ tum leaves swept forward by a low wind. None of that eternal puffing, panting, snorting, and fiery evomition— like the efforts of a broken winded dragon—with which the common train engines stun, stupify, and derange you. Besides you are not sitting near a huge copper b om b_ shell ever ready to burst, and a furnace threatening to lick up with its flamey tongues the whole wooden app a . ratus (human contents included) behind it. These are the vast negative advantages of the atmospheric. The great positive advantage is the additional safety with speed. Two trains cannot be travelling in opposite di rections upon the same line ; and this is the most fre quent cause of collision.— Tyne Mercury. POST- OFFICE REGIILATIONS.—We have had occa sion more than once to advert to the great inconvenience caused by want of post-offices at various villages in this vicinity. We are glad to learn that steps are now taking to remedy this evil by the proper authorities, by the establishment of Post office stations in various localities near the town.—Tyne Mercury. SUIN, LONDON, TIITTRSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, SUMMARY OF NEWS - ~; r t 03 " Who runs may read." 4r*-viis..aaaskim Louis Philippe has been graciously pleased to con tribute I,ooof. in aid of the English National Schools, under the superintendence of Bishop Luscombe, on the railway stations between Rouen and Havre. A letter from Naples, of the 26th ult., says, " Yester day took place, with great pomp. in the chapel of the palace, the marria ge of the Duke d'Aumale with his cou sin, the Princess Marie Caroline of Salerno, daughter of the Prince of Salerno, uncle of the King of Naples, and brother of the Queen of the French." " We are positively informed," says the Presse," that there will successively appear in the Moniteur eight ordi nances naming persons to the peerage. The earliest will comprehend M.V. Hugo, Baron de Bourqueney, the Duke de Valencay, and the Duke de Praslin. ' A letter from Bordeaux states that M. Cortina, ex- President of the Spanish Cortes, arrived in that city on the 29th ult., on his way to Bayonne, to join his family, whence they are, it is said, to proceed to Paris, to pass the winter. There are (says the Courrier Francais) at this mo ment in Paris 11 Prefects, 8 Sub-Prefects, and 110 De puties. A report is current that the Minister of Marine intends to propose to the Chambers an augmentation of the number of superior officers of the navy. It is said that the number of Vice -Admirals is to be 12, that of the Rear-Admirals 24, and that of the Captains 110. The Afi ique says that Marshal Bugeaud intends to move in the Chamber for a grant in favour of a plan of colonisation that he proposes for Algeria. According to the Journal des Chemins de Fer, the Government has decided upon making an experiment with Professor Wheatstone 's system of the electric tele graph, the most complicated, but perhaps the most per fect now in use. The expense of establishine , this is about 4,000 f. per league. The Journal des Chemins de Fer adds, that Professor Wheatstone is expected in Paris, and says it is probable that he intends to protest against the recommendation of the Commission that no indemnity should be given to the inventor. The Madrid Gazette states that the rising in the pro vince of Huesca has been crushed, and that the leaders— Madoz, Ruis, Bellera, Ugarte, Gavila, and Muraco— have escaped to France. The Eco mentions the report that a large number of military men and citizens, in cluding sundry newspaper editors, are about to be banished from Madrid. A Madrid journal states that the Academy of History of that city has effaced Mr. Turnbull from the Hit of its corresponding members, on account of his conduct at the llavannah. The Marquis de Casa Irujo is preparing to leave Ma drid for London, where he is appointed Ambassador. M. Duncker, director of the Berlin police, has dis covered the, authors of the robbery committed on the Blucher family. They are four in number. The stolen articles have been recovered, but many of them are much injured. The frost set in at St. Petersburgh on the 17th ult., when the cold was at 9} deg. Fahrenheit, with snow. The freezing of the Neva had commenced. The Criminal Tribunal of Breslau has given judgment in the affair of the persons concerned in the late dis turbances in Silesia. Out of thirty-five workmen impli cated in the affair several are condemned to hard labour for life, and others to lesser punishments. saw .11. ND POLIO 311. At the York Assizes Henry Hargreaves was convicted of a burglary in the house of Ann Sharp, at Mirfield, on the Ist of October last, and sentenced to be transported for life. The trials at the Worcester Assizes commenced on the 3d, but none of them possessed any feature of public interest. The bill of indictment against Mr. Hassell, charged with the murder of his wife, was to be presented to the grand jury on Wednesday. The Chester Assizes were opened on the 2d by Baron Gurney. There are 42 prisoners for trial, several of wham are charged with very serious offences. One of the cases possesses more than ordinary importance, both from the character of the offender and the alleged ex tent of his crimes. The party accused is Mr. John Ken yon Winterbottom, formerly considered a highly respec table solicitor, residing at Stockport, in that county, and whose defalcations, when he absconded from the neigh bourhood in 1839, were so extensive as to produce most serious consequences. lie is now charged with forging and uttering a bill of exchange for 5,000 L, with intent to defraud certain parties.

Dundas Ross Wish art Baillie Cochrane, Esq., M:P. for Bridport, to Annabella Mary Elizabeth, e ld est daughter of A n d rew R. and of Hants, by the Rev. Lady Elizabah Drummond, of Cadlands Park, and grand-daughter of his Grace the Duke of Rutland. The youthful bride (in her 21st year) was elegantly attired in white watered silk, a veil of rich Brussels lace, and her dress trimmed with the same material. The bridesmaids, Miss Frederica Drummond, Miss Cochrane, Lady Adeliza Manners, Lady Mary Howard, Lady Elizabeth Hervey, and Miss Meade, wore dresses of pink silk and white bonnets. The Noble friends of the happy pair, comprising the Duke of Rutland, the Mar quis of Granby, Earl and Countess of Jermyn, Lord Edward Howard, Lord John Manners, Lord George Manners, Mr., Lady Gertrude, and the Misses Stanley; Sir Thomas Trowbridge, Colonel William Drummond, Mrs. Colonel B.

There was a large assemblage of the tenantry and villagers, who scattered flowers is the path of the bride on her re turn from church. There is very little doubt that, by the spring of the year 1846, a railroad from Dieppe to Rotten will be in existence. More than sufficient capital is already sub scribed ; and the proposition will be laid before the French Chambers in January next. It is calculated that the railway, which is to run from Dieppe to the Havre line, can be completed in about six or eight months. There will not be a single tunnel, and the cuttings will be very shallow. The project for a fixed breakwater off Dieppe, according to the plans of Sir Samuel _Brown, is also to be brought before the Chamber, in connexion with the proposed railway. We stated ast week that it was intended to erect the breakwater opposite the pier ; but we now hear that such is not the case. It is pro posed to erect it opposite the Hotel Royal ; and the authorities of Dieppe quite approve of Sir Samuel Brown's plan.—Brighton Gazette. A LARGE ORDER.—We learn that the Birkenhead Warehousing Company have engaged by contract the partners of a celebrated brickmaking firm of the south of England (who, we believe, made the bricks for the Eastern Counties Railway) for the supply, against the next summer, of 50,000,000 bricks, for the building of their warehouses on the southern margin of Wallasey Pool; and that within the last week 300 operative brick makers have been sent from Kent to Birkenhead, and have already commenced operations.—Liverpool Paper. WESTMINSTER PLAYS.—In consequence of the death of her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia Ma tilda, the first of the Westminiter plays, which was fixed for Monday next, the 9th instant, is postponed until Wednesday, the 11th, by which time the funeral of the lamented Princess will have taken place. There has been no alteration in the other days, Thursday, the 12th, and Monday, the 16th. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.--CARRIAGE OF GOODS. —A Bristol correspondent says, it is currently reported in that city, " owing to the exorbitant charges for mer chandise on the Great Western line, arrangements are on the tapis for bringing goods from London over the London and Birmingham, Birmingham and Gloucester, and Gloucester and Bristol lines, at twenty shillings per ton."—Cheltenham Examiner. The Hon. and Rev. H. W. Bertie, son of the Earl of Abingdon, and Fellow of All Soul's College, Oxford, has been presented to the living of Great Ilford, Essex. COURT CIRCULAR.

Mr. Turner, Q.C., was heard on an appeal from :he Prerogative Court, " Jones v. Godrich." HAYMARKET THEATRE. One of Planche's clever adaptations from the French was produced here last evening, under the title of Somebody Else. The scene is laid in the neighbourhood of Hamburgh, where we find an honest wheelwright, Hans Moritz (Mr. C. Mathews), has been left in charge of Louise (Miss Lee) by her brother, Moritz's bosom friend, Ernest Waldburg (Mr. Howe), who has gone to America to better his fortunes. As might have been expected, Moritz and Louise fall in love with each other, but neither told their love. Louise, through maiden modesty, and Moritz, because he thinks it would be a betrayal of the trust reposed in him to make love to Louise, and in order to avoid the possibility of his being tempted to make love to her, he actually engages himself to his wild rattling cousin, Minnie (Madame Vestris). He is not aware of the strength of his passion until his jealousy is excited by the attentions of a nondescript sort of German dandy, Herr Flit terman (capitally acted by Brindal), whom he threatens with condign punishment if he dares to continue his attentions to the girl. At this juncture letters are received from Ernest, announc ing his approaching return ; and in his letter to Louise he tells her that he brings with him her fu ture husband. Louise is in agony. She makes a con fident of Minnie, telling her that she loves another, but not that that other is Moritz, and Minnie readily consents to pass off to Ernest as Louise, whom he has not seen since she was a child. Ernest sees her, and is delighted ; Moritz is lost in astonishment at her excessive impudence, but in every attempt of his to explain to Ernest the real state of affairs, she turns the tables upon him by some clever ruse. Herr Flit terman arrives, and is unceremoniously rejected by both ladies. His arrival, h oweve r, brings about an explanation ; the betrothed each love somebody else, and Minnie accepts the hand of Ernest, while Moritz takes that of Louise, protesting all the while, that al though he has long loved 'her dearly, he has never told her so. The piece is admirably acted through out, and Madame Vestris sings a very lively vixenish song, to a pretty quaint air, as she alone can sing such songs. It was encored as a matter of course. Madame Vestris and Charles Mathews were called for at the fall of the curtain, and the latter announced the piece for repeti tion every . evening amidst loud applause. This amusing piece was preceded by Old Heads and Young Hearts, and followed by Young England. The house was very well attended. . BRIGHTON. The weather here continues'beautiful—bright and cold, but very invigorating. The town fills very fast with fashionables, and the drives along the coast con tinue to be crowded with splendid equipages. The County Hospital Ball on Wednesday evening last was the best and most productive of any since 1836 ; it yielded 2231. Is. to the hospital funds ; 411 persons were present. • The packet intercourse with the opposite coast has ceased for the winter season. INSTITUTION FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB.—The annual examination of the scholars in this institution was held in our Town-hall yesterday, when the large room was crowded with a most respectable assembly. The Rev. J. S. M. Anderson occupied the chair, in the unavoidable absence of the Rev. H. M. Wagner, and the examination gave the greatest satisfaction. THE BOROUGH REGISTER.—The register of voters for the borough of Brighton has just been published. It contains 2,482 names as voters in Brighton parish, being 139 more than last year. The Hove list con tains 141 names, being 20 more than last year. The number of voters altogether for the year 1844-5 is 2,623, being an increase of 159 upon the last register. One of the lions, on a petit scale, of our fashionable town, is to get a peep at the sanctum sanctorum of Mr. George Robins, at Kemp-town, immediately en face the Duke of Devonshire's. It is just arrived at its completion. The front presents a most inviting and a very imposing appearance. The balcony and ve randah are of immense extent, giving very great fa cility to the sea views, which seem to have no ter mination. Indeed, from the conservatory (which displays unusual tact), the Isle of Wight is.distinctly seen. The interior of this bijou (for it is not a large mansion) is fitted up in such exceedingly chaste and correct taste, that it has no f e ar o f r i va l r y f rom any pretending contemporary. The offices are said to be quite perfect, and the stable department (over which good sense has placed the bed-rooms for the male portion of the establishment) is faultless. It is re ported Mr. Robins has expended more than five thou sand guineas in its completion, and the moderate rent required is but two hundred and fifty guineas a year. The Duke of Somerset is said to be among the latest inquirers after it. ARRIVALS.—The Earl of Beverley, at 31, Sussex square ; Lord and Lady Haddo, at 7, Arundel terrace; Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, at 76, Grand parade ; the Duchess of Calabritto, at 17, Brunswick terrace ; Lady Ann Dashwood, at 46, Marine-parade ; Lord Colville, at 42, Marine-parade; Lord and Lady Dillon, at 17, Brunswick-terrace; Lord Churchill, at 9, Cavendish-place; and Lady Brownlow, at 15, Brunswick-terrace. LITERATURE. THE CHEVALIER. 3 Vols. Bentley, London, 1844. We are indebted for this historical romance to the pen of Mrs. Thompson, who has already acquired some repute by her " Ragland Castle," and other works of fiction, which evince inventive talent, if not of the highest, at any rate of a respectable, order. In the tale before us she takes the same subject=namely, the rebellion of 1745—which Sir Walter Scott has treated with such consummate skill, in his first and best novel of " Waverley." But she has the tact to avoid touching on that portion of the theme which Scott treated with such unrivalled spirit—namely, the rising among the highland chiefs ; and lays her scenes exclusively in England, and does not introduce us to Fringe Charles Edward till he has advanced with his gallant band of adventurers as far as Derby, where the hero of the piece, Ellen Morton, is introduced to him. This character is by far the most consistently maintained in the narrative, and the account of the rise and progress of her ill-starred affection for, and ultimate marriage with, Francis Radcliffe, the son of the Jacobite Earl of Derwentwater, is given with truly feminine tact and delicacy. The earlier chapters of the " Chevalier," with the sketches of Mrs. Abbott's provincial school, are heavy and languid, but the tale improves the instant the Pretender and his army are brought upon the stage, and keeps alive the reader's curiosity and interest to the close. If Mrs. Thompson were a little less diffuse in her language, she would be a far more effective writer of fiction. THE BORDER WARDENS. 3 Vols. Mortimer, London, 1844. The period at which the leading incidents of this tale are supposed to have occurred, is the reign of Elizabeth, and the scenes for the most part are laid in the northern border between England and Scot land. The principal personages—or at any rate the most interesting—of the story are Rona Forster, the wife of an honest, open-hearted Northumberland farmer, and Geordie Bourne, a notorious Scottish freebooter, who is constantly making forays into the English marches. This reckless adventurer, having accidentally met Rona at the Berwick Fair, falls in love with her, and she with him, but she is shortly afterwards compelled to ms.rry the Northumberland farmer, Forster, with whom, though he is uniformly kind and attentive as a husband, she leads a wretched life, until he is surprised one evening by a party of Scottish marauders, and hanged before the door Of" his own farm-house. The same fate ultimately befals the widow's early lover, Geordie Bourne, and she then dies of a broken heart, attended to the last by her venerable father, who had but recently discovered his relationship to her. This. episode in the story forms by far the most attractive portion of it ; and we may add that it is related with pathos and simplicity, and that throughout the narrative the author's deseripr l ions - are uniformly graphic and spirited, 1844, FLANDERS MAIL. BRUS3ELS, DEC. I.—The King presided to-day in a Council of Ministers. His Majesty after attending .

We do not know whether the gentleman acts for his own account or for a foreign house, and therofore do not give hi-, name.

(From Cruikshank's Comic Almanack for 1845.) Almost every person who has lived in history has had some particular antipathy. Julius Car couldn't eat a periwinkle, and Alexand er a l ways f a i nted at the sight of a blackbeetle. Chaucer would be unwell for days if he heard the cry of " mackerel !" and Spenser never saw a leg of mutton without shivering all over. Boadicea hated red whiskers : it nearly cost Carac • tacus his life because he came into her presence one day with a tremendous pair on. The smell of pickles always sent Cardinal Wolsey into hysterical fits. He called upon Henry the Eighth once while the monarch was lunching off some cold meat, and Wolsey fell down under the table as soon as he smelt there was pickled cabbage in the room. Henry, thinking the cardinal was intoxicated, had him locked up in the Tower immediately. Cleopatra couldn't look at a person with freckle; : Antony had all his soldiers who were at all freekk painted black to please her. Napoleon took a violent hatred against any one who didn't take snuff: it is said, the cause of his separa- tion from Josephine was because she would never take a pinch from him. Alfred the Great could not bear the taste of suk t dumplings. Akazerxes had such an intense horror of fleas that he would not go to ; bed without a suit of armour, made like a night-gown, to fit close to his skin. He would lose his reason for days when bitten by one. There was a reward of ten talents, during his reign, for the apprehension of every flea, dead or alive ; and merchants would come far and near to claim the reward. Queen Elizabeth had the strongest antipathy to a sheriff's officer : she would run away as fast as she could directly she saw one, and continued running for miles, until her guards, who knew her weakness, stopped her. Old Parr would turn pale if he touched a piece of leap : this is the reason he never shaved. Cicero had such an antipathy to the Wednesday that he used to remain in bed all that day ; and Anna Bolena could not hear the word " potato" pronounced without turning violently red, and feeling low-spirited for weeks afterwards. Charles the Second never could go through Tem ple•bar. It used to take the whole strength of Vil liers, with Rochester and Nell Gwynn, to push him through it. Cromwell never could pass a tripe-shop without bursting immediately into tears. DUTCH MAIL. AMSTERDAM, Nov. 30.—We learn that on the day before yesterday the sum of nearly nine millions five per cent. stock was invested for conversion in four per cent. THE HAGUE, Nov. 29.—The Minister of Finance has given notice, that of the capital of inscription in the National Debt at five per cent. interest, which was drawn on the 2d of November, 1844, to be repaid or exchanged in the second series, to the amount of 25,000,000 florins, on the first working-day of De cember, 1844, there were— Paid off 1,003,400 florins.

To-day the section met again to discuss the same subject, the cen tral section having agreed to the project of law on the transit. THE REV. MR. WARD AND THE VICE-CHANCELLOR of OXFORD. The following was issued in Oxford yesterday : " Balliol College, Dec. 3. " Mr. Vice-Chancellor,—False impressions seem to have gone abroad as to what passed on Saturday, when I appeared before you on the subject of a work entitled The Ideal of a Christian Church considered, &c.,' which bears my name in its title-page ; and as impressions equally false may possibly prevail in respect to the pro ceedings of this day on the same subject, it seems the simple and right course to address you thus publicly at once. I was summoned on Saturday, not as before a tribunal which 'claimed the power of authoritatively putting ques tions, but merely that I might have the opportunity, if I so wished, of disavowing certain opinions, previously to the Hebdomadal Board proceeding further against me. The questions I was asked accordingly were these :- 1. Whether I wished to disavow the authorship of the above-mentioned work ?-2. Whether I wished to disavow the sentiments contained in certain propo sitions selected from it ? which were then read to me. My answer was, that in a matter so important to myself, I wished to take no step whatever without the advantage of consulting with my . friends, and taking, if necessary, legal advice ; accordingly, I asked to postpone my answer till to-day. You replied that nothing could be more reasonable than such a re quest, and kindly suggested that even a later day might be preferable; an offer, however, of which I did not wish • to avail myself. " On appearing before you today, I stated that, act ing under legal advice, I must decline answering any questions whatever, until I should know more definitely the course which it was intended to adopt against me. " From this statement it will appear, I think, that I have adopted no unworthy subterfuge, but rather pro ceeded on the acknowledged principles of justice. When ever I am authoritatively informed of the whole method of proceeding which it is intended to pursue against me there shall be no want of perfect openness on my side also; but nothing surely could be more unreasonable than to expect that, so long as strict secrecy is preserved on that head, I should volunteer any statement, however unimportant, or make any admission, however appa rently insignificant "I should not do justice to my own feelings, if I did not conclude by expressing my strong sense of the cour tesy with which I was treated on each occasion of ap pearing before you. " I remain, Mr. Vice-Chancellor, your faithful servant, " W. G. WARD." GAME. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The game preserving and the law authorising the sale of game, are a matter of pounds, shillings, and pence with landholders. The game is preserved (and at the expense of farmers too) for the principal purpose of the landholder's pockets; they have a ready market for the " surplus" game; the Act legalising the sale of it was passed by the landlord's Parliament for their con venience and advantage. The public were led to believe, when the Act was passed, that it was fur their accom modation; they now knew differently. The game preserving and the game-laws are a dis grace to the country, and the subject ought to be agitated as much as possible. ANTI-GAME-LAW. Dec. 4.
