Federal troops would be certain to seize as prize, 1
and appropriate to rewarding themselves. If even
the Federal generals would purchase a planter's
crop, why should he refuse to sell it ? The money
would do him and his State more service than the
cotton would do the Federals. It could even be
used for the purchase of arms. _

General BUTLER, at New Orleans, is reported
also to be proceeding with his harsh vigour. The
last account of him is that he actually hung a respect-
able citizen for the very great offence of being pre-
sent, though it is affirmed not taking an
actual part, in hauling down, the Federal flag
As if blood only, not a temporary imprisonment,
must atone for such a crime! This was a fair
sequel to his proclamation, and his defence of pro-
claiming respectable ladies, who might be unable
to restrain their indignant glances at Federal
soldiers, to be on a level with the women who
welcomed strange soldiers with amatory looks
' and mercenary caresses ! Now we are told
that this man who has not been recalled
by Mr. LINCOLN, has sentenced " an Alderman, and
a gentleman, who was chairman of the Ladies Re-
lief Committee, to hard labour with ball and chain
in Fort Jackson." It appears* as if the Northern
Generals were doing the utmost in their power to
disgust the Southerns with their rule. Of the
armies of the West we hear nothing by the Africa.
We have a strong suspicion that BEAUREGARD has
contrived to get round a considerable number of his
men from the far west, to the aid of JACKSON in the
Shenandoah Valley, and to the defence of Rich-
mond.

Ths reception accorded on Saturday evening to
the Sovereign of EGYPT by the LORD MAYOR
of LONDON wan follettc,-..07 .3...tan...a 1.7
the speakers " as one of those happy impromptus
which are the characteristics of our manners, as

one of those graceful a propos which are the

highest ornaments of our social happiness. In
former days," continued the right hon. gentleman,
" when Egyptian halls were visited and investi-
gated with the energy of a BELZONI or the genius

of a BUNSEN, great treasures were discovered
which we have all appreciated, and which have
alike astonished and perplexed Europe ; but I
think I may say, my Lord Mayor, that when
your illustrious guest quits this room to-night he
will bear from this Egyptian hall treasures which
even Egypt will not despise—treasures not less
valuable than those discovered by a BELZONI or
a BUNSEN, for he will carry away from this hall

the sympathies of an enlightened community and
the respect of a free people." More even than
this, we trust, that his Highness will bear with
him when he quits the shores of England. To-
gether with the sympathies of an enlightened
community and the respect of a free people, he
will return homewards, we hope and believe, ma-

turely confirmed in the resolution to maintain the
policy upon which, since his accession to power,
his Government has wisely adventured.

His Highness's visit to this country we cannot but
regard as, under the circumstances, singularly op-
portune. If for nothing else, the International

Exhibition would be deserving of our grateful re

membrance, for, inasmuch as it has drawn thus into
personal communication with our leading statesmen,
the present gifted and keen-witted ruler of Egypt
at a juncture in the history of Egypt so momentous
to the fortunes of his native land and to the desti-

vies more or less of very many of the principal
powers both of Asia and of Europe. It so happens
that during the brief interval of the PACIIA'S so-
journ in London as one of the most distinguished
among the royal visitors to the International Exhi-

hition at South Kensington, there comes an inkling
_ll -e nf a speedy disclosure of
one of those formidable secret compacts between

ambitious rulers which have so often before now
changed the character of an age and modified the
balance of power throughout a whole continent.
The understanding now rumoured to have been for
some time past upon the cards, and in active prepara-
tion, is of a nature, at the first whisper of it, calcu-
lated to awaken the curiosity of races as remote from
each other as those that people Egypt and England
as those of Germany and Hindostan. It is an alli-
ance in effect that is now stated to have been secretly
arranging itself this long while between the diplo-
matic agents and emissaries of France, of Italy,
and of Russia. At the earliest hinted intimation
of this compact entered into between the CZAR, the
KING, and the EMPEROR, an instant sense of its
importance, of the importance of the mere supposi-
tion of it, even if we regard it at once as a purely idle
and groundless conjecture—a sense of the import-
ance of the mere idea of such an alliance, offensive
and defensive, between France and Italy and
Russia, has manifested itself instantaneously, and,
as it were, instinctively, in England, in Prussia, in
Austria, in Turkey, in Egypt ! It will spread
rapidly onwards, we cannot for one moment doubt,
far away, via the Red Sea, threading the eastern
Archipelago, past Ceylon, and northwards thence
throughout the length and breadth of the three
great Presidences of Hindostan. Supposing the
whole rumour to be proved eventually to have sprung
from the vaguest and idlest of all possible hallucina-
tions, it will not have flitted in vain comet-] ike across
the political horizon of Europe, if it but rouse us at
length to a recognition, clear and precise, of the
opportunities now actually within our reach, now
absolutely at this very juncture at our command—.
opportunities by availing ourselves of which, the
perillous chance of any such secret compact like the
one:talked of as even now afoot, may be, in the
simplest and yet securest manner possible, effectually
frustrated beforehand.

As affording us these very oppoltunitices which
are here alluded to, it is hardly matter of suprise
that English statesmen especially have exulted in
the almost simultaneous appearance upon the throne
here of Egypt there of Turkey, here the viceregal
throne of a Pacha, there of his Highness's liege
lord or Suzeraine the Sultan Caliph, of men as re-
markable for their enlightenment and for their
capacity as those two contemporary Sovereigns.
Since the reigning Pacha of EGYPT, since the reign-
long Sultan or Padischa at Constantinople, assumed
respectively the reins of Government, reforms of a
veritably European character have set in both for
the Turks
abnridghter fertile, epoch
bi.'li st
and for the Egyptians. A new and a
opening to each of those two great
hitherto deplorably misgoverned
countries. As a guarantee for the permanence of
these improvements in Turkey there is
upon hi succession to his turbaned
economic financial reorganization which
that
was inaugurated bhy. the Rto,.ABDUL AZIZ,
-Lan A
As a guarantee of a like permanence in
immediately
the improvements inaugurated by the reigning
Pasha of EGYPT, there is the notable
recognitionby him of the rights of labour throughout his
dominions, those sacred rights hitherto ignored so
lamentably and ruinously by one after another of
his predecessors. Let but the Sultan and the Pasha
persist in carrying out resolutely the wise and
humane
policy upon which each has with such con-
summate sagacity adventured, and the hope of
anymalific compact between ambitious
emperors, as opposed to the reviving
antod
skuinccgesss
energies of Egypt and of Turkey, must fade out
and vanish utterly. With a practical eye to the

material advancement of the interests of the country
and of the pEiople over which his Highness presides
as Sovereign, the PACHA of Egypt could hardly,
we are persuaded, act more wisely before he
quits England than by acquainting himself
thoroughly with the estimate formed here,
among our mercantile and engineering men of
eminence, as to the cotton producing capabilities of
the rich alluvial soil of that wonderful Delta of the
Nile. This is a minor detail,of course, but still it is one
which at this moment especially calls for his high-
ness's very serious consideration. Upon it may be
dependant more than he or perhaps even the most
farseeing among us may dream of in our philosophy.

Gentlemen must have game to shoot, and game-
dealers to sell them to. Perhaps, we may add,
citizens must have game to eat ; for what would a
dinner, in the season, be without its game. So
thinks Lord BERNERS, But, unfortunately, there
are a set of the wickedest men in the country, who
have very confused notions on the first puint. They
believe in town's people liking game for one of
their courses, and they believe in dealers who shall
purchase game from the sellers on the most approved
free trade principles, but they cannot be made to
sae that the landlords should be the only wholesale
dealers in game. They know it to be very profit-
able to sell, yet they will not comprehend that it is
any particular man's property sell. The unique
incident to all game, that it can, and does, run or
fly as far as it pleases ; that it subsists, now on
this man's turnips or crops, now on another's, now
on the heather, or the common, which, with equal

stupidity, he will not comprehend to be only con-
ventionally common—all this confuses rustic logic
in regard to property, nor can the villagers of any
Lawlet iu Eughautl ltv Invught to regai uue of thcii
number who bags a hare, in the same light as the
man who steals a fowl or a pig, or oven a cat.

We are not disposed to do battle for poachers as
a class, though we utterly disbelieve the charge
that they are ready to indemnify themselves by
appropriating the farmers' hens, geese, or turkeys,
for ill-success in beating a cover or a stubble. The
class of hen roost robbers are quite a different class
to that poachers ; they are more akin to common
thieves ; and their village neighbours, who suspect
them of such frauds, are pleased when they are dis-
covered. We have seen this pleasure openly shewn
as a farmyard pilferer was being conveyed to pri-
son, while the same peasantry would have only
said of a poacher " poor fellow, he is unlucky, he's
got into the hands of those parsons and squires,
and they'll make him smart." Now, as there have
been game laws ever since the times of feudalism,
and laws stringent enough, in all conscience, it
must be admitted that if law could have created
the sentiment of property, it has had ample time
to do so, in the case of game. Why has it utterly
failed to do so? We say utterly failed, because we
believe that there are hardly 50 villagers in
the kingdom, and perhaps hardly a greater
number of farmers, who, if sure of immu-
nity, would not appropriate every head of
game they conveniently could. We speak what we
know in writing thus—what we know, too, in one
of the best cultivated and most intelligent of the
agricultural counties of England. The only excep-
tions are where, as in a few cases, the landlord
takes almost the whole village into his pay, or
where, which is the most pleasing case of all, the
landlord is so esteemed by the farmers and the
peasantry, that they take an interest in pre-
serving what interests him. Such cases, too, we
have personally known—aud such a village we have

known to be as hostile to the destroyers of the
landlord's game as to the robbers of the hen-roost.
Now, it strikes us that these few exceptional
cases of game protected by the good feeling of the
parlen towaras a ueserving proprietor, givo
to the true relation of game to property in

general. Whatever of property there is in it, is
of the kind which ought to appeal for its pro-
tection to the good will of a neighbourhood rather
than to a savage and barbarous code administered
by the persons whose judgments cannot be dis-
interested. It is a plain fact that the decisions
of the magistrates—the clerical magistrates espe-
cially—are never believed by the village to be im-
partial. The gamekeeper, commonly quite as bad
a character as the poacher, is generally the chief
witness ; the magistrate, usually a game pre-
server, or a game preserver's friend, is the judge.
The former and the poacher are sworn enemies ;
the latter, in regard to game, is held to be a tyrant.
Justice is believed to be out of the question; and
probably there is more perjury in game cases than
even in those which come before Sir C, CRESS-
WELL, and that without the compensation of a
judge of unquestioned impartiality. It is next to
impossible to secure an impartial administration of
game-laws.

But this arises from the fact just noticed, that

game is not a proper subject for law at all. It may
be made more and more dangerous to meddle with
—but not a step will have been gained towards
promoting respect for it as property. The powers
with which Lord BERNERS proposes to arm the
police will only create towards them the feelings
now cherished towards gamekeepers. The respect
now felt for the police as the protectors of what all
acknowledge to be property, will not be felt when
once they are regarded as the squire and the
clergyman's instruments for the protection of
" GOD'S wild creatures." Lord BERNERS bill, we
are confident, even in its amended form, will
damage seriously the position of the county police.
They are even now looked on very much as the
landlords' spies on poachers, they will be regarded,
if this bill becomes law, as the landlords' county-

paid gamekeepers.
Let, rather, the fact bo looked boldly in the face,

,hat to prohibit any one from killing a wild animal

is a violation of that universal instinct to gratify
which the prohibition is made a law. The instinct
of pursuing, and capturing or killing, things which
can get away, begins with us in childhood, and
where such things are to be found commonly lasts
for life. The chase in every form is a human in-
stinct. The instinct of attachment to, and respect
for property is almost opposed to it. We only
think of chasing that which no individual can
appropriate. If now, as we have observed, hun-
dreds of years do nut suffice to overpower this pri-
mary instinct, is it not almost equal to proof that
it requires to be be met in some other way. Fair
trespass laws would be respected—the humblest
cottager resents the trespass on his garden. But,
abstinence from meddling with wild animals ought
to be regarded as a concession asked by those
who require it from the goodwill of their
neighbours. It would be at once acknowledged
that the poacher had no more business in the land-
lord's woods than he had in his house. And it
may well be that the unnatural protection given
by the law to certain wild creatures in them, gene-
rates the feeling of essential injustice which has
brought things to their present pass.
Undoubtedly, as things now stand, game and the
game laws are the cause of a large proportion of the
crime in 'rural districts. Poachers soon become
idlers and
adventurers, and often something worse.
We sympathy, have no of course, with the class ;
but when the question
a
is, what makes theme we
inclined to arrange
causes in the following

order :-1. The contravention of natural instincts
in converting wild animals into property. 2d.
The harsh laws necessitated by a violation of nature.
3d. The harsh and one-sided administration of
those laws. 4th. The preservation of game by
landlords for battue shooting, in such numbers as
to increase the temptation to the poachers. If this
series of causes be correctly given—and we think
it is—the true remedies must be of a different kind
to those proposed by Lord TIERNERS.

Among the most remarkable phenomena now
visible to the gaze of all Europe are the self-com-
mand and the self-abnegation of GARIBALDI. These
to a reflective observer are even more wonderful in
their way than his heroism and his audacity.
Another might possibly have dared, though per-
haps none other could so marvellously have accom-
plished, his extraordinary exploit two years back
in conquering Sicily with the aid of a thousand fol-
lowers, and taking Naples afterwards, as one
may say, single-handed. But there can certainly
not be named any other "Leader of Men," Soldier
or Politician, Statesman or Diplomatist, Orator or
Administrator, who could dream of emulating this
extraordinary man in the display of those two
qualities we have above particularised—his self-
command and his self-abnegation.

For years the political liberation of Italy has
been the dream of GARIBALDI'S life. For the rea-
lisation of that beautiful day-dream he has sacri-
ficed everything. To the furtherance of that
one cause he has dedicated his every energy. To
it he has given his wholelife, his name, his fortune,
his reputation. For it he has proved himself in
every way to be a man wholly and absolutely un-
purchaseable. For Italy, for the sake of the Ita-
lia:la, ho has boon contented to be used, time and
again, simply as an instrument for the carving out
of her fortunes—an instrument alternately, as occa-
sion required, to be employed and thrown aside,
and while so lying" thrown aside," but too often,
(as especially during the last twelvemonth) most
ungratefully neglected. For anything like neglect
or ingratitude to himself individually, however
GARIBALDI appears really to care just absolutely
nothing. It is when Lis trusty followers have come
to be treated in like manner, by the powers that be,
that the whole soul of the hero rises at times in
protest, in sheer disgust and indignatim One of
these crises of conspicuous neglect and ingratitude
is just now being passed through by GAIIBALDI
and his Garibaldians. The Italian Govern-
ment, strengthened in the presence of Earope
(
by the tardy but formal recognition of
it at last by the Russian Autocrat, seems to mil

itself of the opportunity to avow its repudiation of
GARIBALDI, for inasmuch as that great Cap-
tain may be held responsible for; the doings, or
even for the meditated doings, of his Garibaldians.
Here especially it is that we recognise—at these
overshadowed periods of his truly wonderful history
—the real greatness of the man, the purity, the
scope, and the altitude of his magnanimity. Here
it is that we perceive his readiness to sacrifice
his own fair fame, if need be, to the glory, and
the power, and the unity of the land he loves.
