THE SUN, LONDON, IqiURSDAT EVIINING, NOVEMBER 7, 1844.

been sufficiently annoyed by being called before them
on so VoxatiduS, do paltry a charge: They " ad-
rtioni§hee hiili, "If it had teen proved that it was
a atone he had thrown" (it could not be proved, and
he denied that he bed thrown at all), " they would
certainly have convicted him. But as the case stood,
they would give him the benefit of the doubt," for-
sooth ! In his place we would give the gamekeeper
the benefit of an action. The wisdom of their wor-
ships is beyond " doubt," altogether.
The same far-seeing gamekeeper next charged a lad
of fifteen " with looking at seven wires" (we quote the
words of the Oxford paper) "on the 15th ultimo. The
boy protested that, coming along the path, he did' see'
the wires ; that he did not attempt to touch them. He
was fined 155., including costs, and in default fourteen
days' imprisonment." This righteous sentence on a
free-born English lad was passed, not at Constanti-
nople, not at Cabul, not at Fez ; but by the Mufti of
Watlington !
Another party was charged with carrying a gun
for the destruction of game. (The latitude of con-
struction in charging design is of a " range," under
the Game-laws, that beats Captain WARNER'S longest.
Why may not the gun have been for the destruction
of crows or rooks, rats or pole-cats ?) " Prisoner
was in the field, and when he" (qu. ? the prose-
cutor ?) " came up with him, he took his gun to
pieces and put it in his pocket." Pined 21., and
15s. 6d. costs.

Another " Jour; Hewitnis" was seen by the same
amiable servant of Lord MACCLESFIELD, in company
with the preceding prisoner, whose name was "JOHN
HAWKS." This JoHr; HAwKnqs was charged "with
keeping an instrument for killing game," i.e., "he
had a large stick in his hand." (1 !) The informer,
PALMER, " did not see hint use it for any purpose."
(Why did not he charge the man with having two
eyes, two arms, two hands, and two legs, all " for
killing game," but not " seen to be used for any pur-
pose ?") The Bench really "deemed this evidence
insufficient to convict ; and this JOHN HAWKINS
" the luckier," like his namesake, was dismissed
scot-free.

One THolcis HOWLETT (whether a pupil of PAL-
MER'S or not, is not stated) charged a farmer, named
EusrAcz, with keeping a gun for destroying game.
For if not for that purpose, what other could it be
for ? True, they brought up a witness to prove that,
on a stated day, the farmer had been seen, and in a
field, too, to fire at some birds ; but whether tomtits
or bustards, pheasants, or hedge-sparrows, no man
could tell I So farmer EUSTACE, too, "stole away,"
and the prosecutor was " thrown out ;"—no sport.
But these proceedings have another phase, besides
their puerility. Do county magistrates imagine
that, at this time of day, against the universal feeling
of the public and of the press, they can venture, with
impunity, to trifle with the grave business of the
laws—to add to the burden of the expenses of criminal
prosecutions—to harass the peasantry of their district
by encouraging the worthless informations laid by
every gamekeeper who desires to impress his master
with an idea of his activity and usefulness, by hunting
up for fine and imprisonment every offender against
the strictest letter of the most oppressive and
selfish laws that disgrace our statute-book ?
Is this a time at which it is wise or safe
—expedient, necessary, or just—merciful or equitable
—to aggravate the sufferings of unemployed indigence
and thoughtless ,puth in the rural districts, by affix-
ing to the offence of looking at wires, or carrying a
gun, or shying a stone at a hare (if proved), the same
penalty which is awarded to misdemeanours of a
most disgraceful charaeter, and even to some felonious
acts ? Is it, indeed, a mode to attach the peasantry to
the proprietary interest, or to inculcate respect for
the rights of property and station, to visit with the
the yet more enormous penalty of the disgrace attach-
ing to imprisonment in the common gaol, such inde-
scribably, petty, worthless, miserable escapades, as
those of the rural delinquents, tried before Lord
CAMOTS and Mr. J. BROWN ? It would be absolutely
sickening, were not the emotions of disgust over-
powered by those of anger, to see the liberty and the
conduct of the poorer classes so insolently trifled with
as they are by these " Game-laws." We will predict
their repeal for the next session of Parliament. They
cannot be submitted to.

Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have been received.
Preparations were in progress:for the trial of PRIM ;
he had on the 29th been committed to the barracks of
the Body Guard and confined in the tower. The
trial was expected to commence on the 2d inst. Ge-
neral SHELLY, assisted by two barristers, named
SIVRENT and MORENO, were to conduct the defence.
The Chamber of Deputies on the 30th resumed the
discussion on the Address. After a speech from
Senor DIAS against the Ministerial plan of reform,
the Minister of the Interior announced his intention
of retiring from office if the proposed Bill should be
rejected. The Moderado party, he said, did not wish
to destroy the Constitution but merely to improve it.
Reform was necessary, because the Constitution con-
tained dangerous principles, such as that of the sove-
reignty of the people, which was absurd and imprac-
ticable. It was time to establish the Constitution on
positive principles ; and so general was the wish of
the nation in that respect, that in most of the elec-
toral colleges the candidates for the Deputation and
Senate had been obliged to pledge themselves to vote
for its reform.

Barcelona papers of the 30th ult. announce the
arrest of Brigadier DE CELLS, in consequence of an
order from Madrid. They state, also, that four of
the individuals arrested on the 27th had been tried
and sentenced to death, and ordered for execution
within twenty-four hours.
On the Madrid Bourse the Funds continued firm,
the Three per Cents. being done at 271 for cash, and
28 27i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 201 at 60
days ; the Floating Debt at 65* at 60 days ; the
Coupons at 261 for cash ; and the Debt without In-
terest at 6} at 60 days.

The Paris papers still continue to give long ex-
tracts of letters from Madrid, with comments on the
late pretended conspiracy, and all the writers who
speak conscientiously declare that the affair at Madrid
as well as that at Barcelona, were plots formed, not
by the discontented people, but by the Government
itself. The Constitutionnel states that Palm does not
deny the share he has taken in endeavouring to get
up an opposition to the plan for destroying the Con-
stitution, but to call that a plot or conspiracy is an
utter perversion of terms. He and his party are in
favour of that Constitution to which almost every
public man in Spain has sworn allegiance. The real
conspirators are NARVAEZ, CHRISTINA, and Co. "It
was reported yesterday," says that journal, "at the
Bourse that General PRIM had been shot. We have
made inquiries on the subject, and it appears certain
that nothing of the kind has been mentioned in the
dispatches which have reached Paris. According to
the intelligence communicated by the Government to
the Spanish Legation, it appears that General PRIM
is implicated, not in the plot formed against NARVAEZ,
but in a conspiracy to produce a pronunciamiento of
all Spain against the Ministry- Amongst the papers
seized at his residence was the copy of a letter written
to one of the ex-Ministers of the REGENT, in which
he expressed his regret at having contributed to the
restoration of the Moderado party in his country.
The reply was also found amongst his papers. It ap-
pears that PRIM does not deny his, participation in a
new conspiracy, and that he declares he will always
act in the same way against :powers hostile to the
Constitution."

The Madrid correspondence of the National thus
describes the mock conspiracy
The men who had been at flit the most struck with
the pretended snare laid for Na ry aez, begin at present
to recognise that this odious e.ffa it was prepared and
combined beforehand by that (let ieral himself, and his
right hand, Aviraneta. There as .e in all this history
details so clumsy, such a shocking want of consistency,
that no person can be longer deoer ved by it. It will be
always easy to the head of a poE ice to find in a great
city instruments for the most per verse designs, and if
Signor Aviraneta should take it int a his head to get up
an infernal machine, he will only have to search his
pocket to pull out the plan and at; ; mode of execution.
Narvaez turns the incident to acc:ou nt with the greatest
eagerness, and as if the grand co nsi )iracy was not suffi-
cient for him, he employs his age; tits in the Cortes to
operate on the timid Deputies, who were disposed to op-
pose the project of reform. Signor Quint°, Director-
General of the Post-office, has be yen saluted as the prin-
cipal agent in this wretched farce., He declared at first
that he was opposed to the destru ctio n of the Constitu-
tion, and then gave in his resigna Lion , that he might, he
said, have more liberty of action. ro-day, in address- ,
ing the Ministers on the pretend( d atte•mpt of assassina-
tion, he gave vent to protestatirm of *devotedness,• and
indulged deehmatio As xyaa,st the rev (Au-
tionists! It follows, of courf,e, till:11w to the terror
disseminated in the Cortes, tohat the trek-truetion of the

Constitution will pass by a large majority. In teriof
Narvaez is quite a prodigal, and I know positively that
sonie Deputies, imbued with a little fancy of opposition,
have reeived aiionyrrlOus iettersi eontatnitw the most
frightfnl threats...lla i*ere hot required to mako
the cowards give way. Public opinion iti Madrid and
the provinces is becoming more excited from day to day
at the sight of what passes already, and at the prospect
of what is being prepared. What will happen after the
Cortes shall have sanctioned the ruin of the Constitu-
tion ? What will happen if Prim be shot, as the mad-
men announce openly? It is always a perilous matter
to prophecy, particularly respecting Spain, where two
and two do not make four."

The only domestic intelligence in these papers is
the reconciliation of the Paris
.bar with M. SEGUIER,
President of the Cour Royale. At the meeting of
the Court, on the 4th, the Procureur-General, after
alluding to the unfortunate differences which had
caused such confusion, expressed a hope that all
parties would show a conciliatory spirit, and give
each other mutual assistance in the difficult duties
falling to the lot of each of them. The President Sz-
•UIER said a few words in reply, in which he ex-
pressed his great respect for the bar, and the pleasure
it gave him that they should again meet in unison,
and determined, as magistrates and counsel, to labour
in their several vocations for the service of the KING
and the good of the people. This was considered
satisfactory; and the bar, after a brief consultation,
,resumed their labours. The following is the latest
intelligence from the army in Algeria :
" On the 27th Marshal Bugeaud proceeded to the Tiet•
of the Flissas-el-Bahar, on the spot where the affair took
place with General Coueman. The Flissas did not wait
for our troups, but abandoned all the villages, taking
with them their wives, children, and flocks, but leaving
alt their corn and provisions. The village of Tezerara
was taken, and immense quantities of corn and dried
figs were found there. The Flissas-el-Bahar are terri-
fied ; they have sent to the Marshal as a flag of truce a
cadi of the laser, who resides with them. On the 28th
the Marshal left for the neighbouring mountains, on the
side of Beni Djsmad. An engagement took place between
the column which he commands and 3,000 to 4,000 Ka-
byles. The enemy were placed in a strong position, but
they were attacked with so much spirit and energy that
they soon gave way, and were pursued to a distance of
four leagues from the field of battle. They lost a great
number of men, but we had only eight or ten put hors de
combat. The Flissas-el-Bahar took no part in the con-
flict, and came on the 29th and offered their full and un-
conditional submission. It is to be presumed that the
Beni Djenads will do the same."

MORTALITY i Tat METROPOLIS.—The total
number of deaths during the week, ending Saturday.
Nov. 2, was 966, showing a slight increase as com-
pared with the previous week, but still much under
the average. Deaths from small-pox and scarlatina
are still numerous, amounting respectively to 36-72,
while the average is 17-45. In almost every other
instance there is a decrease. The 36 deaths from
small-pox occurred at the following ages :—two
under 1 year; eight 1-3; nine 3-5; eleven 5-10;
three 10-20; and three 20-30 years. The following
is an analysis of the list of violent deaths :—Fracture
or contusion, 3 cases, of which 1 was by machinery,
and 2 by falls; wound, 2 cases (suicides) ; drowning,
2 cases (both accidental); hanging, 1 case (suicide) ;
suffocation, 3 cases ; poison, 1 case (murder); and
scald, 1 case. Total, 11 males and 2 females.—Rain

Mixams, Nor. 4.—The Chamber of Represen-
tatives met to-day. It voted definitively, by a ma-
jority of 43 to 9, the project of law relative to the ,
settlement and relief of the poor. It then resumed
the general debate on the project of law relative to the
augmentation of the salaries of the members of the
magistracy. This debate turned chiefly on the ne-
cessity of suppressing, or of retaining, the 4th class
of tribunals. No decision was come to, and the de-
bate was adjourned until to-morrow.
At the commencement of the sitting, the Minister
of Justice presented a project of law for establishing
a new mode for the sanction and promulgation of the
laws and royal degrees.
King William 11. has just granted pensions to all
the persons formerly employed in the care of
his dominions in Belgium. From the directions to the
individuals filling the lowest offices, all are to retain
their salaries under the title of pensions. This act of
royal munificence will enable the Government to fill
up the vacancies.
An amateur has just discovered, amongst the
collection of a dealer in antiquities in this city,
twenty-one copper plates, forming a gallery
of portraits of Princes of the House of Nassau, be-
ginning with William I. and ending with William V.,
Prince of Orange. It comprehends, also, several
other persons. The dates are from 1747 to 1755.
These portraits are engraved after Mieveldt, by
Tanse Honbr, ken, and other artists of the school of
-
Brunswick. Above each portrait there is an episode
of the life of the person rep:esented. The plates are
in a perfect state of preservation, And the engravings
are of the greatest beauty.

It being very well ascertained that the Government
of France intends to exercise the power given to it by
the Chambers, of taking the contract for the remainder
of the vote granted fur that purpose, and which it is sup-
posed will amount to about 12,000,0001. sterling,
it becomes a question how our money market will
be influenced by such a proceeding. It is assumed
that by far the larger proportion will be subscribed
for by capitalists in the City, and when it is recollected
how much money is required for deposits upon new rail-
way projects, it may be anticipated that the rate of inte-
rest will advance. It cannot be possible, however,
that a statement which has been current is
founded in truth, that the instalments upon this large
loan are to be paid up in three months. Any such sti-
pulation would tend to throw immense difficulties in the
way of a successful bidding for the contract, and occasion
too sudden a TeuiWion pf money to Paris, by which the
inter osts of ttiose Wimpay subscribe for it must be much
damaged. 17: is 'Understood that the firm of Messrs.
