LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8.

IT is to be feared that the difficulties of fox-
hunting are on the increase. We are constantly
reading of obstacles to sport raised by tenant
farmers. Dead foxes are found with increasing
frequency, under circumstances of the gravest
suspicion. Methods of fencing are also resorted
to which make hunting nut only difficult but ex-
ceedingly dangerous ; the worst of them being the
use of wire, invisible except at distances too small
to allow of slackening speed. Complaints on this
score become more numerous every year, and show
that the free customs of sportsmen are no longer
acquiesced in with the former cheerfulness by oc-
cupiers. This rising hostility is very annoying to
ardent lovers of the chase, and we cannot
wonder that they should struggle against
it. It is a feeling, however, which can-
not be overcome by main force ; it must
be accepted with patience, and met with tact.
Foxhunters have always known, though they
have sometimes forgotten, that they ride over
the cultivated farms of the country merely by the
courtesy of occupiers. There is no reason to
suspect any deficiency of the old good-will on the
part of farmers towards the classes who recruit
the hunting-field :it is probable, therefore, that
the growing feeling is duo, on the whole, to
changes in the position of the cultivator. It is
becoming more inconvenient to the farmer to
have his fields ridden over by troops of horse-
men. It was predicted long ago that with
the improvement of agriculture this would
be the case, and that red coats would not be
looked at with so much favour as they had
previously been whenever farming came to be
regarded more exclusively as a business to be
conducted on ordinary commercial principles. Still,
if the parties could meet one another in a give-
and-take spirit, ono of them making allowance for
the natural desire for amusement, and the other
for an equally natural reluctance to suffer un-
compensated loss, it would seem that arrange-
ments might be made by which an old national
sport conducive to good fellowship could be pre-
served by being adjusted to every interest. Such
a spirit, however, we have been unable to find in
the case of " Ball v. Axten," tried at Westminster
on Thursday. The plaintiff, a small working
farmer, occupying land in the neighbourhood of
Amersham, objected to having his fields ridden over
by the hunters, and had repeatedly warned off 1 Discussing the moral legitimacy of the menace

problem.
That the wisest among the Roman catholic' expect the
downfall of the temporal power is clearly to be gathered,
the Daily News thinks, from the prooeedings at St. James's
Hall, though a Roman catholic must not only be very
enlightened, but gifted with great strength of mind to
apprehend the fact without lively emotion. With regard to
Dr. Manning's arguments, the Pope has not possessed for
many years that independence from the civil powers of the
world which is put forward as imlispensAble to his liberty.
In fact, there is not a prince or sovereign to be found upon
earth who would consent to keep up the forms of sove-
reignty upon terms so humiliating as those to which the
Pope has clung as long as he possibly could. But in reality
his political position has been left out of the account, and
the absoluteness of his ecclesiastical authority could be
impaired by no degree of dependence. This is sufficiently
shown by the way he has repaid the protection of the
Emperor Napoleon and of Austria. The enginery of the
Roman catholic church is amply strong enough to dispense
with the show of a temporal sovereignty at Rome, and if
the Confraternity of St. Peter should meet this time next
year we expect to have to report speeches much more
cheerful than those which were delivered last Thursday.
In another article the Daily Nee, speaks of the method
of England in treating her subject races as one of punk-
mount importance to the country. An aboriginal and ine-
radicable inferiority has been assumed, and a theory has
obtained great favour that it is the peculiarity of inferior
races to revolt without reason, and of the Anglo-Saxon
race to put down rebellion without mercy. Such a theory
as is now applied is prompted by pride and passion, and
based upon ignorance.
The Foes complains that in the civil service the higher
appointments are reserved as the price of political support,
and are absolutely closed to those who enter in the lower
ranks and work up. This is the root of most of the dis-
content and inefficiency of the service.
Ireland, according to the Taegraph, is divided into
three parties--a loyal minority whom it is impossible to
employ, a disloyal minority preparing to fight, and,
between both, the masses of the people, actually neutral
and very uneasy, but irritated with the government, and
justifying Feuhtnism in their hearts. Meanwhile the
authorities stand alone.
