SPORTING INTELLIGENCL

A SPECIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS,•
soutaiaing the malts af the day's Rasta, is pub-
lished every owing 4 the Sporting Season, at
sin o'clock.

Tura. has ant been nob a season as the present
for shooting or sposa-tasking far a long time. All
over the country there has been abundance of game
and a superabundance of oratory. People ingenious
in analogies might easily find or faacy some points
of resemblance between the different kinds of birds
and the different kinds of s . The active,
cheery grouse ; the partridge, his short, flur-
ried light ; the pheasant, for all his brilliant
plumage and supreme air of pretension, no easily
knocked over even by an average shot--all these
might find their counterparts among our political
orators in the provinces. The most plentiful kind of
birds are not the beet worth following, even for
sport ; and as for oar aristocratic fowl, they cost a
deal to feed, and have timidly the taste of game in
theta, after all. Of political speeches of the par-
tridge type we own we are sick and sired ; and we
should be heartily glad to do without any more of
them aril next autumn, if so it might be. Who-
ever desires to know precisely to what elms we
allude may satisfy himself by turning over the file
of this journal for any week since Parliament rose.
Therein he will find the sort of thing we mean, com-
pounded, in various proportions, of commonplace
comment on the events of last minion, apolo-
getic, nerveless, and inane ; and timid guesses
and doubts regarding next session, equivocal, hedg-
ing, and blind. But se for trying to remember
names or to distinguish degrees of dulness, we have
neither leisure nor inclination. We can only hope that
we are nearly doue with the partridge politicians.
It is refreshing, however, to find that we still have
a chance of something better. From the hill-aide
of Arbroath there comes another kind of sound. Mr.
BAITLII, who was one of the 99 who made the
first stand lest session against the Conspiracy Bill.
meets his constituents as a representative ought, not
with confusion and shuffling, or a wallet full of exte-
nuating circumstarces, but in clam and audible voice
to tell them that he was well aware of what be
was dellieg when he bid a recreant Ministry standby,
called another legiilative jury into the box, and then
refused to etultify himself by making them gi re place to
their 'tin inipenitent predecessors. All this Mr. BLI-
T= says plainly and says wells bat he says it with-
out bitterness or taunting, and in the staple upright-
ness of spirit in which a true Representative of the
People ought to look bath at having had to perform
• disagreeable duty towards men whom he had
rather have followed than withstood. Nor does he
shirk the pressing questions of the future. He re-
fuses point blank to be caught by the old party
puzzle—Are you for or against the present Ministry?
As fir as the men are concerned he justly rejoins—
Which half of them? For between those who would
move onwards and those who would fell back, he
refuse* to see any real ideality. But this is no blind
to bailie honest interrogation ae to his future votes.
Tory though the present Ministers may have been
hitherto called, if they will bring in a Bill to abolish
church rates, if they will cut down wasteful expen-
diture, and if they will give us an honest Reform
Bill. he, though no Tory, nor allowing himself to be
thought such in any degree, will give them his
cheerful support. Bet neither in this will he mo-
ment to be misapprehended or mistaken. He makes
no stalking-horse of Ballot, or Rateepayiag
Franchise, or any other particular item, how-
ever good in itself or desirable. He will
take all he eau get fur the People from the
present or any other Ministry, and when it is got,
thou go for the rest as deiterminately as backs..
Only let it be understood plainly that in propound-
ing new measures there must he so leaven of old
treachery. It is not to be endured, for example,
that the towns should to any extent be disfranchised
in order to hand over their representation to cone-
tin, upon the sham plea of adopting setae unman-
Mg rule of political equation. If that be attempted,
says Mr. HAIM, set only the Bill, bat the author
of rock • Bill, might to be thrown out. So say we.
We have bed quite enough fee this generation of a
war between country sad town ; and we look upon
the men as public enemas who would re-kindle
its dame. Good men may honestly differ about the
details of re-distribution ; and far be it from us to
say that it were not better to give • couple more
seats to Norfolk, the West Riding, South Lanes-
shim, or the county of Cork, than to retain within'
their respective 000661118 Each make-believe boroughs
as Thetford, Ripon, or Bandon. But snob • restora-
tion to the People of a panic:ke district of the rights
monopolised by see sr two tarp proprietors, on the
pretence of enfranchisior a town which is in reality
a awn agricultand village, is • widely different
thing from despoiling substantially independent
towns, of moderate use though they be, in order
to add to the surserisal streagth of the
manly inettaben. Feeling of satagesises between
°nutty and town there now Is happily sous, sad
higher treason against the welfare and pear* of the
commonwealth no set of men could commit, dm
they who should bring in • Bill to create suck •
sentiment.

We had intended tu notice one or two other
vetches of a differout order which have l►tely ap-

peered in our columns, but we have hardly epos toe
doing so. The constituency of Salford have had it
oat with Mr. Kuser for his adherents to Lord
Pautaarron up to the time of his fall. One cannot
be earpriesd that the men who need to rapport
iOlll7l lhtoniarox, and who but a year and a
half yes redused their present member without ex-
pessasheald exact a strict account from him when dis-
appointed by the political chiefs they formerly trusted,
sad whom they cannot forget that they sent in Mr.,
MASSZT specially to support. The position both ofi
member and constituency, it must be owned, is an
awkward one. The constituency of Salford allowed
themselves like other oonstitnencies to be made fools
of by the PALMERSTON cry of a general election of
1867; and now that the babble has horst, and
they are thoroughly ashamed of their folly, they
would like, no doubt, to vindicate their own self-love
at the expense of their member and spokesman. On
the other hand, Mr. MASSEY is too much of a man
to feign in defeat remorse he did not pretend to
feel in prosperity. Having enlisted under a reck-
less captain, and stuck to the ship till it
sank, we think all the better of him now
for not turning round as others have
done, and trying to prove how much he was
duped. He does what is far better, worthier, and
wiser. He comes forward boldly not to unsay the
past, but to offer specific and pkitive pledges for
the future. On all the topics most dear to a right-
minded constituency he speaks with candour, and
undertakes to reformat them faithfully. Instead of
larking amid vague generalities respecting reform
after the fashion of some of his Whig friends, he
says distinctly what he will vote for and what he
will not, without regard to the side of the House
from which any given proposal may come. We
thoroughly believe that this is the tone and this the
feeling in which the people at large desire to see the
Reform question discussed.

Tats " Gentlemen Adventurers," as such people
were called three centuries ago, who have opened
the enterprise of making Galway the nearest packet
station to America, mast beware of exaggeration in
their promisee ; and yet more, in their accounts of
what they have already achieved. They are only
putting on their armour; and it will be foolish
to boast as if they were putting it off. It
was pretty certain from the beginning that
they would meet with all practicable opposition from
Liverpool, Southampton, and other rival ports ; and
it would have been wise to prepare for, and to meet
that inevitable opposition with the only sore de-
fence, perfect truth and reasonableness. If the ad-
vantages of the route are sufficient to sustain it, they
most be such as need no vain boasting, and can only
be injured by puffing in the newspapers. We are
disposed to leave most of the points in controversy
between other ports and Galway to be settled by
time and the stranioas competition which is sure to
ensue ; but the general public cannot but be pain-
fully impressed by the style of puffing adopted by
the Galway manager.. Not satisfied with holding
out the practicability of reaching St. John's in six
days, they assume this as the ordinary rate of pas-
sage, and build further promises upon it. Would
it not be better first to establish the feet
of the average length of the passage, after
a certain number of voyages, instead of
risking defeat and mortification by offering splendid
promisee which will not be redeemed P Upon the
face of the matter, the disparaging spirit of rivals
is evident enough—as when some of them confound
the promise of a message to Washington in little
more than six days with that of o passage to Wash-
Ington in the same time ; but it would have been
wiser to have given no handle to enemies, by which
they may injure an enterprise of the first im-
portance.

It seems reasonable to hope and expect that Gal-
way will become a permanent station—at least, for
mails and passengers, and for Irish produce..

Government seems-to be willing and ready to see
the harbour made secure and convenient for
the purpose; and the encouragement already
afforded, in the shape of passengers and freight,
seems to open a good prospect. But all favourable
incidents will lose their influence in proportion to
any reasonable suspicion that they are connected
with puffery and trick. Nothing would be so ad-
vantageous to the enterprise, if sound, as an exact
and accessible statement of the history and quality
of the vessels employed, tie amount paid for pas-
sage and freight, sad the time occupied in each
voyage ; and this, without any sort of tampering. It
I would be wise to remind the public, as well as to
bear in mind themselves, the drawback of trans-
shipment of goods, by which the geode traits will
bs practically restricted to Ireland, on this 'ideate
Atlantic, instead of embracing that of the whole
kingdom. Everything, in abort, should be con-
sidered, estimated at its fair value, and made
known ; and all quack methods must be
sternly repudiated, if the scheme is to prove
anything but a bubble, which will explode
the fortunes of adway, after all. If it is true that
the advertisements and the speakers at the banquet
last week gave the name of "Royal Mail" steamers
to ships described in the Post-411os Packet List as
private ships carrying a letter-bag, and that no loge
lie produced to prove the duration of the passage
each way, there is folly or worse in such manage-
ment; and it must be wholly needless if "3,000
" passengers and 4,000 tons of the most valuable
" goods" have passed through in the course of two
months.

There are no ansignable limits to the intercourse
between the Western Continent and our United
Vtaition. Liverpool and Southampton, with the
drawback of oar island ohannels, will always have
plenty of traffic, from their manifold advantages ;
and so may Galway, with bar disadvantage of
having the Irish Channel between her and • British
cargo. Her western position, and her local advan-
tages, will wore Ur fortunes, we confidently bo-
ilers, if she sets out on her new career in a rational'
temper, and on thoroughly honest principles. now
are her best friends who keep her most sternly to
truth and reason, while fostering her energies and
encouraging her hopes. When she becomes a
Rigel Mail Packet Station we shall give her our
best wishes. Meantime, it is a pity that she has
been toasted by that name, if it does not belong to
her. If her prospects are ninny, we decline the use
,
of Claude glasses ; and it dem really appear that the
I emit-canopy ia drifting down the wind, and a
bright soon of prosperity warming the very heart
and diffusing its genial glow over the bleakest shoree
of Ireland.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

CROY 01/1 OWX

PARIS, FRIDAY EVININO.

The rumour that the " Court " is not going to
Conpidgns, which has been repeated since I first
alluded to it, appears to be founded on a quibble.
Tie Emperor is going there to hunt, and so is the
Borer. The imperial hunting establishment is
removed there, and preparations are made at the
Chateau for the reception of their Majesties and
their select friends. It may be, however, that
technically the head-quarters of the Court will
remain at St. Cloud, and that the Emperor, some-
times accompanied by the Empress, will go up and
down frequently by rail. I mentioned some time
ago that an account of the constable having been so
terribly outrun by the journey to Brittany, some
attempts at economy were likely to be made this
autumn, and that the number of invitations to
Compiigne would be limited.
The Bourse was mach perplexed to-day by the
great uncertainty of political news. Nothing satis-
factory is known from Lisbon, and the most con-
flicting rumours are in circulation. It was said by
some that the French ambassador had struck his
flag, and gone on board the French vessels ; while
others, on the contrary, affected to know that the
matter was settled, and that the English fleet had
only gone to the Tagus, if indeed it has gone there
at all, to rapport the French demonstration, and at
the same time the grievances of England, on account
of the treatment of Mr. M'Leod, the English
consul at Mozambique, by the Portuguese au-
thorities. Uneasiness was created by a re-
port of a serious rising in the north of Turkey.
Intelligence to this effect has undoubtedly been
received by an official despatch from Belgrade,
the substance of which it is known was forwarded
to London yesterday, bat it is doubtful whether the
news is net exaggerated, and is not, in fact, the
same that was received in another form some days
back. The Bente fell los., both for cash and ac-
count, closing at 72Er. 85c. and 72fr. 93e. Mobilier
fell ldfr. The railways were all about Ur. lower.
M. Mon, the Spanish ambassador, arrived in Paris
to-day. •

The excitement about the Mortara affair goes on
increasing. The journals have up to this time
been permitted to discuss the question with almost
entire liberty, and, in oonsequenoe, the leading ar-
ticles this week have been more spirited and able
than any that have appeared in Paris for some time.
They are, however, so numerous, and omtain acres-
eerily so many repetitions, that it becomes impossible
to notice them daily or to give more than occasional
extracts by way of specimens. The Univers takes
the lead, and keeps it on the side of intolerance,
writing two sad three leaders on the same subject
every day, and cutting out abundant work for the
champions of the rights of conscience and the holy
relationship of parent and child—the Debate, the
Miele, and the P . The Univers says, sneer-
ingly, that the Jew boy Mortara is the "Uncle
Tom " of Europe, while the Conatitutionnel, tardily
taking upthe cudgels for its insulted editor, M. Renee,
who at first said that he would net measure weapons
with such a foul fighter as the Univers, now says by
the pen of M. Marie Martin, that the Univers is " the
Mazsini of the church." The last word of the
Univers i§ that the Pope has said he " cannot " re-
store the boy Mortara to his parents. When the church
says " Pen possumus," all the powers of the earth
have, according to the Univers, nothing else to do but
to hold their tongues. The Pope is not uncivil ; he
never says " I won't," but like a banker when
refusing to discount a bill that he doesn't like,
he says " I can't de it; it's against the rule of the
home." The Gazette de Prance tries to relieve
the catholic religion from the odium of the
theft of the child by treatiog it as a matter
concerning the civil government of the Roman
States, which other Powers cannot Interferes with
without unjustifiably trenching upon the indepen-
dence of the Pope es a sovereign prince. The
Univers repudiator this argument, and lays it down
unequivocally that the Pope sequestrates the Jew's
child not merely se the civil prince of Rome, but as
the head of the church, and in pursuance of prin-
ciples which he would act upon throughout Christen-
dom if he had the power.

PRUSSIA.

We (Mies) have received the following tele-
gram from Berlin :

.~,

"NIRLIN, Ocr. 22, Evarrixo.

"The Fint Chamber in its sitting of this day has
rejected, by 80 votes spinet 76, a motion made by
Count Arnim-Boitzenburg, Prof. Stahl, Zander, and
their supporters, 'to send an address to the Bing
and the Prince-Regent.'"

THE JEWISH CHILD KIDNAPPED IN
ROHL

The correspondent at Rome to the Annomia, a
Jesuitical journal of Turin, makes the following
statements about young Mortara :
It was with great joy that this child entered the lostila-
don of the Catechumens. When he arrived he perceived
above the gate a statue of Our Lady of Teen. " Why does
she cry?' he asked. " She I. weeping," they answered
him, bemuse the Jews do not beams converted, and are
not willing to aclmowledge hos divine Son." " Then,"
replied the child, " she is weeping over my father and
mother."

Thrn they announced to him his JAWS visit he was
delighted at it, for the catholic religion, very far from ex-
tinguishing filial love, strengthens it by sanctifying it. Be-
sides, he imagined he should be able to convert his father,
and render him a Christian like himself. This was his hope,
and he showed it artlessly. But when he saw his father,
and found him deaf to all his prayers, he began to weep
bitterly.
In fine, this child is firm in the faith like an apostle. His
hither begged him to go back with him to Bologna, saying
to him, " Why don't you come with tae ? Have you for-
gotten Ged's commandment, ' Honour thy father and mo-
ther?" The child remained pensive for a moment, and
then replied :—" The Pope knows the commandments better
than you or I, I shall do what the Pops says 1"
He knows the catechism admirably, end makes the pro-
fession of faith in the most complete and exact manner. He
insists on this point, that the Jews have neither sn altar, a
Holy Virgin, nor a Pope. Ha says he should like to convert
them, and by hie tone you parades that it is grace which is
epealdng in him.
The Pope wished to see him, and was enchanted with
him. The child blesses the servant maid that baptised, and
thus opened to him the entrance to the catholic church. They
asked him what the Pops was; he answered, " The vicar of
Christ." " And Jesus Christ r' added they. His face
coloured up, and he said, " Jesus Christ is the Saviour of
men, whom the Jews crucified."

Aiad they want a child of such quiok faith to be delivered
op to the Jews I That would be a cruelty without • name,
and the most open violation of that principle of liberty of
ceesciimoe whiuh the Liberals have ever in their mouths.
The young Mortara finds at Rome, in the catholic church,
the protection neoresary to him, that he may be ab:s to pro-
fess-his faith freely, and be instructed In the duties of his
religkaa.
It Is not In Rome that they use violence, and seek to on-
set people by force. Cases simllarttroung Mortar's are
tease, for rarely do we see such si triumphs of grace.
For the rest, no one here makes the east opposition, and the
patents themselves are satisfied at seeing them child brought
ap in the Hospital of the Catechumens.
There are certain journal' that declaim on this subject, but
their declamations are only inspired by the hatred they feel
for the Pope, catholic:lam, and baptism itself. Suppose the
young Mortars had been born a catholic, and had turned a
Vaudois protestant or • Turk, these ealteamejournals would
not have anathemas/ enough to launch against any penal
to format it And now they want him to be coa-
stretaed force to turn Jew again I
Let as pity them. They gnash their teeth with rage at
the news of this conversion, and this sign of grace makes
them blaspheme like demons.i Bat on this occasion, in
attacking the Holy See, they have not well chosen their
ground; it would seem they really believe that in Rome the
eternal salvation of a Christian ie not something for more
predons and important than the capture of the Cagliari ran
be it Naples.
The Journal des Debats has received the follow-
ing letter from Bologna on the same subject:
Bologna, Oct. 18.
We have not been surprised at the article in the Omer-
neon, which, after long hesitation, has at last moms forward
to break • lance in favour of the Holy Inquisition. The low
and trivial language of this article is in keeping with the
cause it upholds, and in this respect leaves nothing to be
desired.

me. that the lather wee able to see his child freely. He
could see him, but only in the presence of the rector of the
Catechumens, and the child continually declared that he
wished to go back to his father and mother. When Mortara
left Rome, they promioed him that in his absence the secre-
tary of the Jewish committee at Rome should be allowed to
Melt his son. But the moment this individual presented
himself at the mansion of the Catechumens, not only did they
refuse to admit him, but the reetor answered him from a
window of that monument d religious intoleranoe that upon
the retina of the sardine' inspector of the Cateohumena to
Rama, a formal order had been given no knew to admit any
Jew, the interdiction being extended to the parents

The rector of the Catechumens did worse Mill. About the
end of last month, little Edgar was by his order taken out
for a walk in the streets of the Ghetto, either for the purpose
of bantering the young girls you see mending their ran there,
re to make an impreeaion on the mind of the little fellow, by
patting his comfort in contrast with the poverty of those un-
te people, who recall to mind the wretched state of the
Irish whelks in the days of Elisabeth and Cromwell.
These wretched instances of low trickery lead me to moo-
don another. To revenge themselves for the horror produced
so justly throughout Europe by this abominable act, our
imprmaese of the Plow Maggiore (where a sort of poppet-
show le exhibited) ham received orders to put into the month
of his marksettee, once a week, words of hatred against the
Jews, so as to kindle religious fanaticism. But this has been
of no am; our city has remained impassive to such Incite-
met&

Bu7k an the oontrivanoss they have recourse to. Sensible

Isquisittou does what it likes and listens to no advioe, being
quite sure that no one will venture to oontrachot it.
