GLADSTONE might quite as reasonably require
farmers to pay for a license to kill rats as for

one to kill rabbits.
There can be little doubt that " over preserva-
tion " is the cause of the worst results of our game

aws. To this, more than to anything else, is due
,he great extent of poaching. The temptation is

so great—the crime regarded as no crime at all,
and the prospect of food or of profit so enticing.
We have expressed long ago the views indicated
by Mr. CORSET - that battue - shooting is
an inglorious, unmanly sport. It may be
all very well for a heavy, inactive Ger-
man Prince, or Graf, or Herr Von—but it is not

the sport for an English gentleman. He ought to
seek his game on the saddle, or on foot, not to
stand watching a woodside, an opening, or a run,
whither men are driving the hapless victims whom
he will murder close at hand, as fast as servants
can load guns for him. Battue shooters are not the
stuff that good volunteers or regular soldiers are
made of. Old XENOPHON taught us, when we were
boys, how much in the chase was kindred with the
art and practice of war. And this is true now of
fair sport, though none of our game be lions and
boars ; but think of a colonel or field-marshal
keeping his hand in for actual service by standing
to shoot preserved creatures driven to his gun's
muzzle. And yet it is for this unmanly amuse-
ment that landlord perpetuate a practice which is
the cause of the greater part of rural crimes !
We need not now enter on the general question
whether there ought to be laws at all which make
wild creatures property. Our readers indeed
know our views on that point ; but we are pleased
to see that Mr. CORBET points to what we have
always held to be the best of game laws—the law
of good feeling between a landlord and his tenantry
and peasantry. We speak what we have known
when we say that a landlord may keep all the game
he needs on a very large estate by behaving
liberally to farmers in regard to furred game, and
making the mowers and reapers his friends by
donations at hay and harvest time, which did not
amount to a tithe of the cost of a gamekeeper. We
have known the men muw round a sitting bird,
leaving the grass to shelter her and her
eggs ; and have seen them deeply grieved
at having accidentally cut off a pheasant's head
with a scythe. On an estate, where the landlord
takes the right course, he may have a gamekeeper
in every farmer and farm-labourer, and make the
place too hot for any poacher. That course, how-
ever, includes the utter renunciation of battue-

shooting.
Landlords will do well, both in the interests of
good farming and of social morals, to bethink
themselves seriously of setting the game laws to
rights. They are a remnant of feudality—of the time
when half the kingdom was wood, common, waste,
and marsh—and are wholly unadapted to the present
state of society and of agriculture. Their funda-
mental principle is ♦icious, and we may be sure
that artificial and revolting protection for game
cannot long survive the death of all other kinds of
protection.

The speech of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE to his con-
stituents, at Liskeard, is one of the ablest that the
hon. gentleman has delivered for some time. Mr.

OSBORNE 13 well known as one of the cleverest o

our Parliamentary debaters, his speeches are always
shrewd and telling, and his animated style and

sarcastic humour always secure him the ear of the
House. Sometimes he has allowed his wit to de-

generate into flippancy, and his sharp thrusts have
lost their 'point from their personality. On this
occasion, however, he made one of his happiest
efforts. The tone of his speech throughout showed
a calmness and moderation that did credit to
his judgment, and his views on the ques-
tions of the day are distinguished for
their sound sense. After remarking on the im-

portant subjects that had been brought before Par-
liament since the commencement of the session, he
proceeded to consider the measures on their indivi-
dual merits. The first question, he said, in which
he had taken part, was Sir JOHN TRELAWNY'S
Bill for the Abolition of Church Rates. Mr. Os-
BORNE, like many of its supporters, disavowed all
hostility to the Church. He was a Churchman, he
said, and he believed it to be the best safeguard
against intolerance on the one hand, and delusion on

the other. He was aware that many Dissenters
were not unwilling to subscribe in support of the
Establishment, but they objected to have their
money forced from them. After further expressing
his views on this subject—views which we
have always supported— he proceeded to consi-
der the Treaty and the Budget. On these points
we differ somewhat from his- opinions, although,
notwithstanding his strong advocacy of the treaty,
he supported it rather on general than particular
grounds. He expressed an earnest hope, which all
must share, though we fear it is somewhat un-
stable, that the importation of light wines might
diminish that frightful consumption of spirits which
is the bane of our country. In Paris, he said, there
were in 1851, 30,000 cabarets, or low wine shops,
yet drunkenness was so inconsiderable a vice that
it had not a place in the category of public
offences. At a rough estimate of the re-
turns of the spirit duties in Great Britain
and Ireland he calculated that the quantity con-
sumed allowed to every Englishman, 21, gallons ;
and to every Scotchman, 11 gallons ; and to
every Irishman, 31 gallons. With regard to
the refreshment-houses, Mr. OSBORNE supported
the proposed amendment. Unfortunately, how-
ever, the excessive regard of interested parties for
public morality has disposed of the question.
Mr. OSBORNE, in analysing the Budget, expressed
a very general opinion when ho said that he very
much doubted whether this were the proper time
to take off the paper duty. It certainly must appear
somewhat singular that a year of such enormous defi-
cit and so heavy an increase of direct taxation should
be selected for the removal of a tax which presses

Os-
BORNE was very happy. He expressed his regret
that the advocates of Reform had placed the
matter in a false light. Amid the laughter of
the audience he compared his friend Mr. BRIGHT
to the celebrated foreigner who had lately
visited this country—the famous Benicia
Boy.
The combative propensities of the hon. member for
Birmingham are certainly strongly developed in
his provincial orations, however his eloquence may
collapse when he enters the Parliamentary arena.
The tendency which we have often commented
upon in Mr. BRIGHT'S speeches to foster and exa-
cerbate class dissensions was very sensibly de-
nounced by Mr. OSBORNE. He observed that
reform should be advocated on its own merits not
by abuse of any particular class ; particularly
when it was a class like the English aristocracy,
which any man of industry and talent might aspire
to enter. Mr. BRIGHT has, no doubt, injured his
cause with many sober-minded persons by the vio-
lence of his views, and the injudiciousness of his
advocacy. Men of moderate opinions and tempe-
rate principles see him stirring up anew the old

fires of class antagonism and prejudice which are
happily dying out, and they shrink from throwing
a great increase of power into the hands of the
masses if the leaders who represent them will
support such theories. It is not by setting class
against class, and increasing the bitterness and sus-
picion which difference of social position is always
apt to engender, that the principles of reform and
' progress can most fully and fairly be advanced.
It is by breaking down the artificial barriers, by
letting each side know and understand the other
better, by letting them feel that they are country-
men in common, and therefore have a common inte-
rest and common sympathy. As the member for
Liskeard observed, if they read history they would
i find that the HOWARDS, the RUSSELLS, and the
STANLEYS had been quite as forward in advocating
the liberties of Great Britain as the BROWNS, the
JONESES, and the ROBINSONS. He would not
depreciate either class, and he deprecated the intro-
duction of such rivalries and antagonisms into the
consideration of national measnres. The hapless
Reform Bill ho could not say much for, indeed he
expressed his intention of proposing an amend-
ment. Though not quite so cordial in support of
the Ballot as we could wish, he said he was willing
to give it a trial, which would certainly be the
readiest solution of the difficulty. If its opponents
are really sincerely convinced of the certainty of
failure, why do they not allow the experiment to be
made ? It would furnish them with new arguments,
which they stand much in need of, and a proof a
little nearer home than the worn out examples of
America and Australia. Do they really think the
Decline and Fall of the British Empire would
date from the introduction of secret voting, or
is the possibility of its success a more alarming
anticipation than the fulfilment of their dismal
prophecies ?

PARIS, THURSDAY.

The Moniteur of this morning states that the pam-
phlet La Coalition serves as a pretext for Bourse
mo.nouvres, and endeavours to maintain a feeling
of uneasiness in the public mind. The law does not
give the Government any right to stop the publi-
cation of a pamphlet containing no particularised
offence, but the Minister of the Interior has brought
under the notice of the Minister of Justice the
Bourse manoeuvres on the occasion of the publica-
tion of the pamphlet La Coalition, and a judicial
inquiry will be held.

Stretton of _Ringwood Chace. A novel. 3 vols.
Hurst and Blackett.
This is a light and easy story, which furnishes
some pleasant reading, and the plot is ingeni-
ously arranged, the double mystery being very
cleverly disclosed at the last, Some of the persons
met with are sketched in an adroit manner, and of

these, perhaps, Mrs. Stretton is the best depicted.
We seem to behold the very impersonation of a
proud woman, yet also a very sincere and upright
one. She had never rested till she had redeemed
the estate of her ancestors, where she ruled with

sovereign sway, feared, yet beloved. She had to
endure a bitter mortification in finding out that,
after all, the property really belonged to some other
members of the family. The passage which refers
to Catherine's suddenly turning out to be the heiress
is very dexterous, and is one of the best points of the
story. The family of Mr. Stretton, to whom we
are at first introduced, is a pleasant prospect to dwell
upon, and there is something fresh and genial in
all we afterwards hear of them. Edward, the son,
has a good deal to contend against, but he has a
very fine character. Mabel, the heroine, is:of a very
peculiar style, but still one cannot fail to become
attached to fier. She was very unfortunately
placed, for one of her susceptible tempera-
ment and affectionate disposition, for no
sooner had she become attached to any or found a
friend in any place than she was called upon to
change and depart. She seemed destined to feel the
truth of the warning that here we have no abiding
city. However, she seemed at last in a more pros-
perous state ; and we leave the young friend whom
we have watched through so many trials in the sure,
hopeful, confident expectation that some years of
happiness are in store for her, and that a brighter
meridian will succeed to the cloudy morning of her
day, and a softer atmosphere surround her onward
path than the dark storms which had lowered over
her young footsteps. Without being in any way
remarkable, this work may be thought of favourably,
for it fulfils to the uttermost the prospect and pro-
mise of its opening pages. The whole course of the
complicated events, and all the different persons in-
troduced, bear entirely on and are intimately con-
nected with the fortunes of Ringwood Chase. That
fair and goodly inheritance which had been held in
pride through long lines of worthy representatives
was in a state of abeyance, but it is satisfactory to
find all things arranged in a quiet manner at the
last, so that there was none of that " civil bickering
and debate " which so often occurs in families,
and which jars so painfully on the feelings. The
high sense of honour and the great sym-
pathy for the feelings of others which
seemed to be the inalienable birthrights of the
Strettons would have done honour to tke
first family in the land, and each great
and glorious attribute would have outshone
in splendour their parade of titles, and dimmed in
its lustre their most smiling possessions. There was
none of that race who was not a worthy member of
society, and an honour and a credit to their family.
There is something interesting to all elevated and
refined intelligences in the attachment that clings
tenaciously to the roof-tree of some old mansion
that to vulgar eyes may be a dilapidated ruin and a
dreary wilderness, but which to the family
must ever remain a hallowed spot of sacred remi-
niscences and the holy shrine of their household
deities. The spirit which will live on in such a
ruin has other and finer qualities to distinguish it.
In these days of levelling denouncers and utilitarian
demagogues it is the fashion to sneer at such themes
as effete and ridiculous, but human nature is the
same now in its tears and its griefs as in the days
of feudal laws, the eras of chivalry, and the
reign of romance. There is much of the clinging
feeling that will hover round the spot that gave
one birth infused into this story, and it has so many
other claims on notice that it may in confidence be
recommended to the reading public. " The Stret-
tons of Ringwood Chace" will delight the lovers of
the mysterious, and really in some parts the story
reminds one of the old romances that went on from
one generation to another, and were attractive exer-
cises to the brain and memory with their genea-
ogical marvels.

Conquest and Colonisation in North Africa. One
Vol., pp. 246. By George Wingrove Cooke.
Blackwood and Sons.
Mr. Wingrove Cooke has here contributed another
apparently fugitive, but really valuable addition, to
our continually widening historical literature. As
in the instance of his delightful volume upon " China
and the Chinese" in 1857-1858, so it is now in 1859-
1860 in the instance of an equally interesting and
readable book upon the "Moors and Morocco." Both
works are revised reprints of " letters" there-
upon, in their collective publication re-christened
" chapters"—originally given to the public piece-
meal through the columns of the Times newspaper
ns the effusions of a Special Correspondent. They
are productions consequently that have already
obtained the meed of an extended popularity, and
that have severally received the timbre of popu-
lar approbation. Written throughout not only
curreate calamo, but with a pen that, while flying
over the rapidly-turned pages of the traveller's
note-book, leaves upon every scribbled leaf the
vivid and graphic impress of the voyager's innate
keenness of observation, and of his practical skill
in its manifestation—the volume possesses some-
what of the charm appertaining to one of the most
famous of the children's story books of Hans An-
dersen, the one entitled (as this might really have
been without any risk of a misnomer), " A Picture
Book without Pictures." The series of papers here
reprinted from the Times will be found to have been
considerably enhanced in value to the student of
history and of geography, by two comprehensive
additions in the form of an Introduction and a
Supplement—an introduction and supplement
containing the most recent information derived from
French and other sources, in reference to the Moors
and Morocco. It appears from Mr. Cooke's explana-
tion as to his recent wanderings in North Africa, that
he proceeded thither simply with an eye to recrea-
tion, and that the correspondence was in truth a sort
of after thought—the unpremeditated result of one
of those long vacation rambles,which," says he
in his introduction, " I have for many years annu-
ally indulged." He appears to have been, accord-
ing to his own account, so profoundly impressed
during his peregrinations by what he picturesquely
calls " those wonderful vestiges of a popula-
tion passed away; those great silent plains
strewn with the broken tablets of history,"
that he writes, " I changed my recreation into
a study ;" adding simply—" As I went on, I
composed a series of letters, and the conductors of
of the Times thought them worthy of publication."
Hence this very curious, and valuable, and, we may
add, singularly attractive volume of "Pencillings by
the Way" anent the Moors, and the Arabs, and the
Kabyles, in respect to Batna and Lambessa, in re-
gard to Setif and the Metidja, above all, in relation
to the past, present, and future of Algeria and
Morocco. The work is no mere prim and flimsy
compilation, but the bold frank record of the
results of a series of sustained and searching . per-
sonal observations. It has the merit of minute
truthfulness belonging to a succession of stereo-
scopic photographs:

TEE CENSUS.

The following are the chief provisions of the bill
for taking the census this year :
" The several registrars of births and deaths in
England shall make and return to their respective
superintendent registrars a list containing the
names and places of abode of a sufficient number of
persons, duly qualified according to instructions to
be prepared by or under the direction of such Se-
cretary of State [one of her Majesty's Principal
Secretaries of State], to act as enumerators within
their several sub-districts, and such persons,
when approved of by the superintendent registrar,
shall be appointed by him enumerators for
taking the census, subject nevertheless to the
approval of the said Registrar General ; and the
registrar, with the approval of the superinten-
dent registrar, shall assign a division to each enu-
merator, and shall distribute to the several enume-
rators in the sub-district the forms and instructions
which shall have been issued for that purpose by
the Registrar-General, and shall personally ascer-
tain that each enumerator thoroughly understands
the manner in which the duties required of him
aro to be performed.
" Schedules shall be prepared by or under the
direction of such Secretary of State for the purpose
of being filled up by or on behalf of the several
occupiers of dwelling-houses as hereafter provided,
with particulars of the name, sex, age, rank, pro-
fession, or occupation, condition, relation to head of
family, religious profession, and birthplace of every
living person who abode in every house on the night
of Sunday, April 7,1861, and also whether any were
blind, or deaf and dumb; and the registrars in Eng-
land shall in the course of the week ending on
Saturday, the 6th day of April, 1861, leave, or
cause to be left at every dwelling-house within
their resective sub-districts one:or more of the said
schedules for the occupier or occupiers thereof or of
any part thereof, and upon every such schedule
shall be plainly expressed that it is to be filled up
by the occupier of such dwelling-house (or where
such dwelling-house is let in different stories or
apartments, and occupied distinctly by different
persons or families, by the occupier of each such
distinct story or apartment),and that the enumera-
tor will collect all such schedules within his division
on the Monday then next following; and every occu-
pier of any dwelling-house, or of any distinct story
or apartment in any dwelling-house, with or for
whom any such schedule shall have been left as
aforesaid, shall fill up the said schedule to the
best of his or her knowledge and belief, so far
as relates to all persons dwelling in the house,
story, or apartment occupied by him or her, and
shall sign his or her name thereunto, and shall
deliver the schedule, so filled up, or cause the
same to be delivered to the enumerator, when re-
quired so to do ; and every such occupier who shall
wilfully refuse, or without lawful excuse neglect to
fill up the said schedule, to the best of his or her
knowledge and belief, or to sign and deliver the
same as herein required, or who shall wilfully
Make, sign, or deliver, or cause to 'be made, signed,
or delivered, any false return of all or any of the
matters specified in the said schedule, shall forfeit a
sum not more than £5 nor less than 20s.
" The enumerators shall visit every house in their
respective divisions, and shall collect all the sche-
dules so left within their division from house to house
so far as may be possible, on Monday, the Bth day of
April, in the year 1861, and shall complete such of
the schedules as upon delivery thereof to them shall
appear to be defective, and correct such as they
shall find to be • erroneous, and shall eopv the
schedules, when completed and corrected, into books
to be provided then for that purpose, and shall add
thereunto an account, according to the best infor-
mation which they shall be able to obtain, of all the
other persons living within their division who shall
not be included in the schedules so collected by
them.
" Every enumerator shall also take an account of
the occupied houses, and of the houses then building
and therefore uninhabited, and also of all other un-
inhabited houses within his division ; and shall also
take an account of all such particulars hereinbefore
mentioned as by the forms and instructions which
may be issued under this act they may be directed
to inquire into ; and in the book into which he
shall have copied the householders' schedules and
other particulars, as hereinbefore directed, each
enumerator shall distinguish the several parishes
and places maintaining their own poor within
his division, or Su eh parts thereof as shall be within
his division, and shall also distinguish those
parishes and places or parts of parishes and places
within his division which are within the limits of
any city or borough returning or contributing to
return a member or members to serve in Parlia-
ment, or of any incorporated city or borough, or of
any ecclesiastical district, and shall deliver such
book to the registrar of the sub-district, together
with the householders schedules collected by him,
and shall sign a form or declaration to the effect
that the said book has been truly and faithfully
filled up by him, and that to the best of his know-
ledge the same is correct, so far as may be known ;
which form of declaration shall be prepared by or
under the direction of such Secretary of State, and
issued by the Registrar-General with the forms
and instructions aforesaid."
