For so small a roan the Bishop of EXETER is un-
doubtedly a great actor. All his public performances
savour of the dramatic art. The turn of his mind is
strikingly theatrical. Once before the footlights, the
energy of his acting speedily renders the spectator
oblivious of the diminutiveness of his figure and his
general deficiency in respect of other personal advan-
tages If a principal actor on the stage receives a
mortal thrust from an adversary, he never
thinks of appearing to resign liie without
a violent struggle. He knows very well,
that simply to fall on his back and stretch
out his legs would be considered by the audience as
a vulgar and insipid feat. Accordingly, he puts his
body through a variety of powerful contortions; and
frequently, at the very moment when everybody con-
, siders he has made his last effort, he will be observed
to raise himself on the elbow, give an awful grin,
seise his shattered sword, and make another in-
effectual thrust at his victim. This finished, the
player generally finds his level in the most approved
manner for scenic effect. In all these minute de-
tails of the histrionic art the Bishop of EXETER
is thoroughly versed, of which he furnished
the public with ample proofs in the sharp con-
flict which he recently provoked with the
Mayor of Exeter. After the first onslaught, the
prevailing impression was that the wrangling Prelate
had got his pieta; but all were mistaken. Panting i
with envenomed feelings, HARRY PHILLPOTTS once
more aimed his luckless goose-quill at his cool and
intrepid antagonist. The Mayor parried the im-
potent thrust, when, as a matter of course, the
Bishop immediately rolled over utterly exhausted.
A glance at the continuation of the correspondence
between the Mayor and the Bishop confirms what
everybody thought hefore,—that the latter is no
match for the former. In his LordFlip's letter
of the 3d inst. he struggles to explain away the awk-
-1841. He affects to have beenwtno
ward fact of his having patronised a charity ball in

the way, are notorious for their love of dinners, by
which we presume they suppose—(at any rate RA'aßillr
of EXETER does 5-)—it is quite imnoasible that any-
' thing in the shape 0f "revelry" should ,ccur. But tile
j diocesan of pamphleteering celebrity seems positively
I to wince under the intimation that he ever

suffered his name to figure among the stewards
of a ball. We do not ourselves appreciate the
niceties of distinction to be inferred from Pluti.sorrs'
writings between dinners and balls. We admit, how-
ever, that he would not look well at the latter.
Nature never cut out the Bishop for a ball, which
should be an enlivening scene, and attended only by
persons of a lively and agreeable cast of countenance,
of the truth of all which we have no doubt the Bishop
must be painfully sensible. 'There can be no ques-
tion, we should think, that, whether he knew of the
ball in 1841, beforehand or not, the Bishop became
shortly after acquainted with the fact of line having
taken place. Did be then mount the pulpit and ful•
minate against the " mi.-enable frivolity" which con-
cluded that festival ? We take it the Bishop did
nothingof the sort; because be now observes with com-
placent arrogance, " I consider that ball to have been
of a very different character from the one which is
about to take place." The Mayor of Exeter was not
the man to let the Bishop fly off at a tangent. The
following extract from the answer of the former,
dated the sth instant, will best enable the public to
judge how the Bishop, throughout this controversy,
only went farther and fared worse
"I am unable to understand the difference in the
distinction which your Lordship draws between the
proceedings of 1841 and those now in contemplation.
I cannot connect the ball of the 6th of April with the
day of the fast and humiliation of the 24th of March.
Doubtless all visitations great and solemn lessons
—should have their future and continuous effect
upon the thoughts and conduct of men ; but it is
not, it cannot be said that all amusements are to cease,
and if not, and if the amusement of the hour may be legi-
timately coupled with a more abiding purpose of charity.
then the ball of 1847 is as blameless as the festivities of
1841, and is equally entitled to your Lordship's indul-
gence. The one raised funds for the relief of sickness and
distress in our immediate neighbourhood, the other is de-
signed to obviate the miseries of famine at a distance. Call
either of them what you will, they are identical inform and
purpose."

Those who run may read. The mace bas shivered
the crosier.

The common law wisely made a distinction be-
tween
animals that were ferce nature and unre-
claimed, and those which were reclaimed and con-
fined, and might serve for food : in the former case no I,
larceny could be committed. It was justly felt that
there could be no such property in animals suffered
to remain in a state of nature, who might one day
rest on the lands of one proprietor, and on the follow-
ing day visit those of another, as to justify a convic-
tion for lsaceny. Indeed, if such animals could fairly
be termed the property of an individual or body of
individuals, it would be of the farmers, whose crops
are eaten down, and too often almost wholly de-
stroyed; so that frequeutly, in place of a fair return
for their labour and capital laid out in the cultivation
of the land—in place of an abundant harvest—no-
thing is to be seen but fields laid bare by the devas-
tating influences of game and vermin ; but even this is
not the case, the animals are still in the enjoyment of
theirnatural liberty, they are free to go where they think
proper, and according to the principles of natural law,
become the property of the first person who can cap-
ture them, who can take them either dead or alive,
and bring them into a state of subjection, and by the
same law every person could have a just right to
exercise the dominion originally accorded to man
over all other animals. In the earlier stages of so-
ciety hunting was almcst the only means by which a
livelihood could be obtained ; and to this day many
tribes of Indians and others look to it as their only
support. A passion for the chase appears to be an
instinctive feeling in the human mind, and no argu-
ments can convince a poor man that in killing a bare
on his own land, which he sees eating the food that
should belong to his hungry children, he is
guilty of any moral crime. A great tempta-
tion is held out to him, and should he yield
in a moment of weakness, his future doom is
sealed ; he is sent to a prison and becomes a marked
man. The very name of poacher is sufficient to
ensure his destruction. He can obtain no employ-
ment. The game-preserving landlord denounces
him, and woe to any tenant that shall afterwards give
him work, or suffer him to gain his living by his own
honest industry. He becomes an outcast; and in
turn his hand is against every man, until he finishes
his career by some act of violence or bloodshed
that consigns him to the hulks or the gallows.
It is manifest that the taking of game is not cone
trary to natural law, and that the only punishment
that could fairly be imposed would be for the trespass
on the property of others in the pursuit; but, unfortu-
r.ately, our legislators are directly interested in the
question. No person can sit in Parliament unless
he is actually a landed proprietor. No matter how
highly qualified he may be in other respects, how
great his natural or acquired endowments, how inde-
pendent his circumstances, the possession of real
estate to the amount of 6001. per annum for a
knight of the shire, and of 3001. for a citizen or
burgess, is an essential requisite. The game-laws
are consequently a landlords' code, framed by
landlords themselves. The only object appears
to be to enact the most stringent provisions for
the punishment of those who interfere: with them.
Magistrates (who are also compelled to possess real
estate to a certain amount as a qualification for their
office) are entitled to convict parties in a summary
manner, and to inflict imprisonment, with hard
labour, without the intervention of a jury. Such a
person may actually be himself the complaining
party and the person to adjudicate on the complaint.
Any owner or occupier of land, or any person having
a right, or reputed right, of free warren or free chase
thereon, or the lord of the manor, or reputed manor,
or any gamekeeper or servant of such persons, or
any person assisting such gamekeeper or servant, are
authorised to seize and apprehend any person entering
at night on any land, whether open or enclosed, for
the purpose of..taking or destroying game ; and
if such person should resist his capture
he is subjected to transportation therefore, as he will be
in like manner for his third offence even without any
violence, and if he should have two or more associates
armed with any gun or offensive weapon, he may,
even for his first offence, be transported for 14 years.
Surely such iniquitous and unjust laws should not be
permitted to encumber our statute-book; they have
been already condemned. Of late years we have had
less of class legislation, and there is a disposition to
do justice to all. Inquiries have taken place before
Committees in btoh Houses of Parliament as to the
effects of these laws, and there are ample materials
on which to ground a comprehensive reform. Let
us hope that it will not long be postponed. Mean-
time the public should not be idle ; petitions should
be sent forward. A general election must speedily
take place, and if the desired ameliorations should not
be obtained during the present session, there can be
no time more favourable for directing the attention of
aspirints to senatorial honours to the question than
when they are seeking the suffrages of the several
constituencies.

The Madrid Gaceta of the 2d instant, the only
journal published in Madrid on Good Friday, has
been received. It contains decrees accepting the re-
signation of General MANSO as Captain-General of
New Castile, and of General SALCEDO, as Captain-
General of the Canaries, and appointing Senor Esco-
suaA, Political Chief of Madrid.
General REQUENA, fiscal in the case of General
SERRANO, has declared that the tribunal was incom-
petent, and that the whole case should be submitted
to the deliberation and sentence of the Supreme Tri-
bunal of War and Marine.
The Duke of Geucassuncx has presented his
credentials to the QUERN, as Ambassador fur the
KING of the FRENCH.
Intelligence has been received from Portugal that
an attempt had been made to induce the inhabitants
of Yelvas to pronounce in favour of the Junta. The
QCEEN'S volunteers had, however, repressed the
nsovetnent; end, rendered valiant by their success,
had marched out to force Count Met.r.o to raise the
siege of Eatremoz. Their courage, however, failed
them when they came in sight of Count Meeeo, and
they fled back to Yelvas, pursued by a detach-
ment of Mer.r.o's forces. The remains of the gallant
volunteers re-entered Yelvas in coin.ilete disorder,
having lost one hundred met, in their flight.
The Ist and 2ki inst. were kept as close holidays,
and there was consequently no Bola.

We have received the Paris papers of Wetinec,&.;::
Tile vorn..-ur of th. downfal ~f Cu!''”l Administration in Greece has occasioned a great
sensation in Paris. The National, taking it for granted

that the rumour is true, has the following furious
article on the subject:—
" The Ministry yesterday received news of extrema
gravity. It is stated that M. Coletti, chief of the Greek
Cabinet, has been overthrown. The fall of this Minister
is a striking triumph of English policy. Since Mavro-
cordato lost power the representative of Great Britain
at Athens has constantly struggled against M. Coletti,
who was considered, whether rightly or wrongly-, as
placed under the influence of France. There is no sort
of embarrassment that Sir E. Lyons has not created
against the Greek Cabinet since it has existed; and
whilst English intriguers laboured to enfeeble the Hel-
lenic Government in the interior, efforts were made to
cause it to lose consideration abroad. We still
remember the words of Lord Palmerston in open
Parliament, that the Cabinet presided over by
M. Coletti was only a heap of brigands.
Events have succeeded to words. A miserable
quarrel, excited by the Turkish Ministry, has furnished
the occasion so long expected. A trifling dissension, or,
at least, a dissension easy to appease, has taken the pro-
portions of a serious rupture. The Porte, encouraged
by England, has no longer put bounds to its exigencies.
To the offers of an honourable satisfaction, it has replied
by maintaining, it, its absolute terms, a pretension hu-
miliating for the Greek Government. At the same time
Great Britain enjoined the Cabinet of Athens to pay in
totality, and without further delay, the interests of the
loan contracted by Greece and guaranteed by the three
protecting Powers. The insufficiency of the financial
resources of a state reduced almost to misery by Bava-
rian administration was counted upon, and a refusal too
well founded was foreseen. The calculation was just.
Coletti was not able to satisfy his engagements, and
he has fallen under the menaces of his pitiless cre-
ditor. If it be true, as is stated, that England sup-
ported her demands by the guns of her fleet, it is easy
to understand why the Greek Cabinet has fallen. Our
policy, then, has just received a new check. It is France
that Lord Palmerston has stricken in overthrowing Co-
letti. Shall we submit without resistance to this new
attack on our interests in the Mediterranean ? Shall we
leave English domination to establish itself in the Archi-
pelago ? Or shall we only accompany with sterile
regrets the fall of a Ministry placed under our protec-
tion ? Such are the questions to which the intelligence
received yesterday. give rise. Tise Chamber will
examine this day in its bureau a Bill relative to the
Greek loan, and will no doubt seize the occasion to ques-
tion M. Guizot on the condUct he proposes to adopt at
Athens. And, besides, explanations on this new com-
plication must be made from the tribune. The English
Parliament is to examine the affairs of Greece in one of
its early sittings. The French Chamber will not allow
itself to be outstripped, and it will, we hope, know how
to reply to a hostile manifestation by a solemn expres-
sion of its sympathies for a Government which its
feebleness, more perhaps than our interests, commands
us to protect."
In the bureaux of the Chamber of Deputies, on
Wednesday, the Committee appointed to examine the
Bill annually introduced for the payment of the in-
terest of the Greek Loan, commenced their labours.
Several questions were put to the Minister of the In-
terior as to the truth of the rumours in circulation
on the subject of Greece. He was asked particularly
if it was true that the Government was in possession
of information of the full of M. COLETTI'S Ministry,
and of the appearance of five English ships of war at
the Piraeus ? M. DUCHATEL replied that the Govern-
ment had received no information of any kind upon
the subject, and that he had no reason to think that
there was any truth in the rumours. He acknow-
ledged, however, that the affairs of Greece were in a
very delicate position, but he gave an assurance that
the French Government knew how to act with pru-
dence in that affair, but also with firmness, in the
event of there being any reason for the display of that
quality.
Whether the rumours be true or not, we hope that
this article in the National will open the eyes of the
Greek SOVEREIGN and the Greek nation to the true
character of M. COLETTI. It is evident that COLETTI
is the Minister in reality, not of Greece, but of
France. "It is Fiance that Lord PALMERSTON has
stricken in overthrowing COLETTI," says the National.
" Shall we submit," it asks, " without resistance to
this new attack on our interests in the Mediterra
nean ?" How could the distnission of COLETTI be
construed into an attack on French interests, if he
were not the Minister, not of Greece but of France
Wetrustthat these avowals will rouse a national feeling
in Greece, before which the anti-national Afrancesados
will be compelled to give way.
The Ministry have consented to the prise en con-
sideration of M. REMUSAT'S proposition for excluding
placemen from the Chamber. The Bill for aug-
menting the effective force of the army for home
service by 10,000 men, passed the Chamber of Peen
on Tuesday.
The Nemesis,. a new sixty-gun frigate, is to be

It is said that several Chinese labourers have left
Amoy for the Island of Bourbon. They receive a
sum of money in advance, with a promise of monthly
wages. The Spanish authorities have also authorised
the hiring of Chinese labourers for the Philippine
Islands.

On the Bourse, on Wednesday, the Bears circulated
a rumour that the KING was ill, and that Marshal

rumours.

RUMOURED ILLNESS OF LOUIS

PHILIPPE.

Last night a letter, of which the following is a transla
Lion, was delivered at our office:—
" South-Eastern Station, April 8, Bridge Hotel.

" SIR,—Yesterday, about four o'clock, the King was
suddenly attacked with illness. Fortunately M. Pas-
quier, his Majesty's surgeon, happened to be at the
Palace of the Tuileries. He saw that the face was dis-
torted, and deemed it necessary to proceed without delay
in bleeding the patient copiously. The state of the King
having become worse, M. Pasquier ordered two consecu-
tive operations of cupping. At half.past five, the time
of my departure by the special train, there was no change
in the alarming condition of his Majesty, who had not
then recovered his consciousness. The members of the
corps diplomatique were arriving at the Tuileries in order
to ascertain the real state of the King.
" I have the honour, &c.,

The writer of the letter adds his name, but it is one
with which we are totally unacquainted. Our own ex-
press, which left Paris at five, P.M., on Wednesday, is
silent on the subject; and on inquiry at the French Em-
bassy at a late hour, we were informed that no intelli
gem of the sort had arrived there. We submit the
communication, nevertheless, to our readers, because we
do not feel justified in suppressing it, though we have no
means of verifying the statement it contains.—Post of
yesterday.

An exact cop of the above letter was left at onr
office at half-past two o'clock on Thursday afternoon. We
immediately instatutA inquiries in various quarters, and
having aicertaiucd that no special train had recently
arrived at the South Eastern station; and that the
various authorities, who must have bE en aware of the
fact of the illness of the King of the French, had such
an occurrence taken place, had received no information
on the subject, we concluded that the whole affair was
either a stupid attempt at a hoax or a fraud concocted
for stock-jobbing purposes, and therefore took no notice
whatever of the letter or its contents.—[ED. Sun].

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night.)
Th• sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000
to 4,000 bales, 500 bales being American, and taken on
speculation. The prices for American were bid. to 7d.
per lb. Railway Shares were dull.
The sale of Railway Shares to-day, by. Messrs.
Lomond and Co., was flat, and prices were again lower.
The market generally for shares had a very dull aspect,
and the fall in Consols made them rather unsaleable,
except at very reduced prices. The following are a few
of the principal sales :

It is scarcely possible to form any correct opi ion
upon the ultimate results of the Bank notice, which we
gave yesterday afternoon under this head, by which the
minimum rate of discount was raised to 5 per cent. per
annum. In all, but a few interested quarters, the
course of operations adopted by the Bank of
England is held tenable upon the main points
which should regulate the transactions of the cor-
poraion. Inconvenience to some, and, doubtless, large
losses to others, must occur. But these will prove but a
drop in the bucket, as compared with placing the cur-
rency in a safer position. It is denied, in many quarters,
that there are any large Corn bills out, which
awaited renewal in the course of the present
month, at least to any alarming amount. Time
will show whether such is or is not the fact. There
is a very strong opinion, very strong indeed, that at
least two, if not three firms of influence have out such
bills, but if so, they have ample resources to meet
them. Probably, it may, without any very
material stretch of the powers of divination,
be asserted that though the secrets of the
Bank-parlour are not known, the Directors have
ample sources of information at their command to form
a correct opinion as to the most prudent course to be
adopted, and have due discretion to use the power
Placed in their hands with benefit to the public, and of
course with all due advantage to the proprietary
body, whom they represent. As will be
seen below, the Stock market continues heavy. After
the regular hours of business yesterday afternoon, there
were some private bargains made in Consols. for Account
at 8641. This morning the second instalment of 124 per
cent. on the eight millions loan has been in the course
of payment. The recipients of the interest upon the na-
tional debt have muitered in rather full force this
morning.
There are not any late colonial arrivals announced in
the City this morning.
The fluctuation in Consols for the Account to-day has
been limited to about 4 per cent., viz. from 861 to 864,
the tendency of the prices, as will be observed, being
still downwards. At the regular close of the market
yesterday afternoon, the last quotation was 861 to 87.
Some few sales of Money Stock have been effected
at 861 ; in the Reduced Three per Cents. at 854 ;
in the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 861
(now the price is 870; and in the Consul
Scrip at 24 1 dis. Bank Stock has dropped
from 200. the opening value of yesterday, to 1954, the
price paid for a pretty large sum just now. Exche-
quer bills are at par to 2s. discount, and East India
- Bonds at 55. discount to 2s. premium. The quotations
just noticed will tend to show very clearly how sensitive
the market for all public securities is.
The report, unconfirmed though it be, of Louis Phi-
lippe being attacked with sudden and severe illness,
has led to a fall in the French Rentes to 105 f. Exchange,
25f. 50c. The report of the illness of the King is not at
all believed in the most influential circles connected with
French affairs here; many think it was an attempt to
•irceive ai.d alarm the public, and thus to aid Bear
~peculattonv. Spanish Stock is at 241; and the Three
per Cents. at 354 ; the Dutch Two-and a-Half per
Cents. have been done at 58 and 581; and the Four per
at 90 for the Account; Brazilian new, at 84 for Account;
and Danish at 66.
The Railway Share Market is certainly heavy, espe-
cially for London and Brighton, for London and North-
Western (Wands are now steady), for South-Eastern
and Dover, and for York and Newcastle investments.
