LITERATURE.

THE CHRISTMAS Mx.
The Illustrations of the " Christmas Box"
proof impressions of which we have just received,
are this year unusually beautiful. Consummate
care on the part of the engraver is visible
throughout the engravings, and on the part of
the editor much taste has been evinced in the
subjects selected for the artist's skill. Among
our favourites are the pictures of the" Cottager"
and the " Brigand," the latter of which displays
infinite spirit and character. If the literary por-
tion of the " Christmas Box" equals its illustra-
tions, it will indeed be a gift worthy of the social
season of Christmas.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE OEM
We have just seen a set of proof plates of
the a illustrations of the Gem" for the ensuing
year, which display much grace and talent.
The engraving entitled " Vittoria Colonna" is
well executed, and the " Portrait of a Boy,"
from the pencil of that eminent artist, the late
Sir T. Lawrence, is worked out in a spirit
worthy of the. original. " Hope and Love" is
likewise rich in the style of its execution as an
engraving, though " Love" is of the lankiest
of his order. " Mars Disarmed' is a sweet and
graceful composition.

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
the 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

beile may be turned into money for the
one of
of his faMily ; should he transgress the law with
all of theee, let }MI pay a forfeit, but let him enjoy
the; benefit of the articles.
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
aitanged theOughout the whole of the Bill, should be de-
