TIIE GAME LAWS.

The Game Law is the only feudal tenure re-
maining, or so much of it as retains the tincture
of feudal spirit, for, since the infraction of the
royalty of killing game has been sanctioned by
the system of licensing, it has detached the right
equally from the lord as the tenant, and vested
it in the Crown and Parliament. Established
interests now there are none to provide for, ex-
cepting the four free warrens, which might very
easily be exempted from the operation of any Act
of Parliament designed to tolerate the sale of
game. These observations arc not intended to
investigate the origin or the progress of the re-
gulations—monarchical, baronial, or parliament-
ary, respecting game, which for ages have been
enforced—but merely to show—lst, That by
legalizing the sale of game the paramount right
in that property remains where it is, which is
obvious ; 2dly, The advantages to .be derived by
an extension of the licensing system, which may
be comprehended under the following heads :-
Ist. Increasing the Breed;
2d. Creating fresh Interests in the Country ;
Sd. Promoting the Advantages of Travelling ;
In the first place—all the enemies to game,
and the eggs of game, will disappear where the
farmer has to expect benefit from iareasing the
breeding of game. It will become to him as
wild poultry, and the eggs and young, of game
will be preserved with the same care. The worst.
poachers are the destroyers of nests ; and game
to the farmer at present is as great a nuisance as
rats, moles, or other verniin. Give him an ad-
vantage from that, of which he is the unwilling
provider, and the unprofited supporter, and it
would soon appear what difference it would
make in the production of wild fowl. If it were
possible to make the calculation, it would pro-
bably be ascertained that independent of the pre-
serves, there is one thousand head of poultry in
this country to a single partridge ; and this
arises from game being, as it were, licensed to
live in opposition to all rights of property and
claims of industry, upon the sweat of the brow
and hard-earned morsel of the peasant, and all
others dependent upon him.
2dly. Legalize the sale of game, and it will
create an interest in the breeder similar to the

profit of poultry in general. The fanner rely-
ing upon it as a source of profit will invent every
method of preserving it, and feeding it to the
greatest advantage. It will add a fresh source of
profit to the retail vender, and though it must
ever remain a dainty to the public, from the cir-
cumstance of its being wild by nature, yet it will
have the effect of cheapening tame fowls, by in-
creasing their numbers, and adding to the gene-
ral subsistence in the increased production of
eggs. It will yield to the landlord rent, and to
the tenant a fresh profit upon his land. Poachers
will have no temptation to rob, but every farm
will have the security of rabbit-warren ; and
every invasion of the land for the purpose of
seizing its produce will be a theft, and punished
accordingly. Poachers will have inducement to
purchase rather than plunder the property so
reared, and the risk of attempting it will greatly
exceed the benefit of the attainment.

• 3dly. The most profitable passengers to coach-
masters are parcels, Ist, in the booking, 2d, car-
riage, 3d, porterage. Upon the carriage of
game-baskets, owing to the necessary care and
despatch required, an extra charge is generally
made. While the intercourse from place to place
is encreased, and a certain profit secured by the
carriage and incidental expellees of parcels, there
is certain to be every accommodation for the con-
veyance of the public. The sale of game would
tend more to increase the profits of coachmasters
than any other measure, and hence invite every
competition in the accommodations of travelling.
Game would be the common present throughout
the kingdom in the season, and thus the re-
sources of the country would be increased—by
the production and sale of game, as a fresh ar-
ticle—by the economy of travelling accommoda-
tion, and all the profit of the labour incidental
country,' n gthis the
to Packing, carriage, and delivery.

thump in the face ; not to laugh ; not to fancy ;
not to like a holiday ; not to know the pleasure of
sitting up at Christmas; not to sympathize with
one's children; not to remember that we have been
children ourselves; nor that we shall grow old, and
be as gouty its Pantaloon, if we are not as wise and.
active as they.
Not wishing to be dry on so pleasant a subject, we
shall waive the learning that is in us on the origin of
these popular entertainments. It will be sufficient
to observe, that amongflie Italians from whom we
borrowed them, they consisted of a run of jokes
upon tire provincial peculiarities of their countrymen.
Harlequin, with his giddy vivacity, was the repre-
sentative of the inhabitant of one state. Pantaloon,
of the imbecile carefulness of another. The Clown,
of the sensual, macaroni-eating Neapolitan, with his
instinct for eschewing danger; and Columbine,
Harlequin's mistress, was the type, not indeed of
the outward woman (for the young ladies were too
restrained in that matter), but of the inner girl of •
all the lasses in Italy--the tender, fluttering heart--
the little dove (Colombina), ready to take flight
with the first lover, and to pay off old scores with
the gout and the jealousy, that had hitherto kept it
in durance.
The reader has only to transfer the character to
those of his own countrymen, to have a lively sense
of the effect which these national pictures must
have had in Italy. Imagine Harlequin a gallant ad-
venturer, from some particular part of the empire,
full of life and fancy, sticking at no obstacles, leap-
ing gates and windows, hitting off a satire at every
turn, and converting the very scrapes he gets in to
matters of jest and triumph. The old gentleman
that pursues him is a miser from some manufaetur-

ing town, whose ward he has run away with. The
Clown is a London cockney, with a prodigious eye
for his own comfort and muffins—a Lord Mayor's
Fool, who loved " every thing that \vas good ;"
and Columbine is the boarding school girl, ripe for
'running away with, and making a dance of it all the
way from Chelsea to Gretna-green.
Pantomime is the only upholder of comedy,
when there is nothing else to show for it. It is the
satirist, or caricaturist of the times, ridiculing the
rise and fall of hats and funds, the growth of
aldermen, or of top-knots, the pretences of quackery ;
and watching innovations of all sorts, lest change
should be too hasty. But this view of it is only for
the older boys. For us, who, upon the strength of
our sympathy, boast .of being among the young
ones, its life, its motion, its animal spirits, are the
thing. We sit among the shining faces on all sides
of us, and fancy ourselves now enjoying it. What
whim! what fancy! what eternal movement. The
performers are like the blood in one's veins, never
still ; and the music rims with equal vivacity through
the whole spectacle, like the pattern of a watered
ribbon.

In comes Harlequin, demi-masked, party-co-
loured, nimble-toed, lithe, agile; bending himself
now this way, now that ; bridling up like a
pigeon: tipping out his toe like a dancer :
then taking a fantastic skip ; then standing
ready at all points, and at right angles with
his omnipotent lath-sword, the emblem of the cion-
verting power of fancy and light-heartedness. Giddy
as we think him, he is resolved to show us that his
head can bear more giddiness than we fancy, and
lo ! beginning with it by degrees, he whirls it round
into a very spin, with no more remorse than if it

were a button. Then lie draws his sword, slaps
is enemy, who has just cona upon him, into a
settee ; and, springing upon him, dashes through the
window like a swallow. Let us .hope that Cohn-
bins and the high road are on the other side, and
that he is already a mile on the road to Gretna ; for
Here comes Pantaloon, with his stupid servant,
not the Clown, but a proper grave blockhead, to
keep him in heart with himself. What a hobbling
old rascal it is ! How void of any handsome
infirmity ! His very gout is owing to his has ing lived
upon two pence farthing. Not finding Harlequin
and Columbine, he sends his servant to look on the
further part of the house, while he hobbles back to
see what has become of that lazy fellow the Clown.
He, the cunning rogue, who has been watching
mid-way, and now sees the coast clear, enters in
front,—round-faced, goggle-eyed, knock-kneed, but
agile to a degree of the dislocated, with a great
smear from his mouth, and a cap on his head, half
fool's and half cook's. Commend him to the dinner
that he sees on table, and that was laid for Harle-
quin %nil his mistress. Merry be their hearts: there
is a time for all things; and while they dance through
a dozen inns to their hearts' content, he will eat a
Sussex dumpling or so. Down he sits, making him-
self a luxurious scat, and inviting himself with as
many ceremonies as if he had the whole day before
him : but when he once begins, he seems as if he
had not a moment to lose. The dumpling vanishes
at a cram :—the sausages are abolished :—down go
a dozen yards of macaroni : and he is ill the act of
payinghis duties to a gallon of rum, when in come
Pantaloon and his servant at opposite doors, both in
search of the glutton, both furious, and both resolv-
ed to pounce on the rascal headlong. They rush
forward accordingly; he slips from between with a
" Hallo, I say ;" and the two poor devils dash their
heads against one another, like rams. They re-
bound fainting asunder to the stage doors : while
the Clown, laughing with all his shoulders, nods a
health to each, and finishes his draught. He then
holds a gallon cask or a snuff-box to each of their
noses, to bring them to; and while they are sneez-
ing and tearing their souls out, jogs off at his leisure.
All, here he is again on his road, Harlegal"
with his lass, fifty miles advanced in an hour, and
caring nothing for his pursuers, though Ebel' have
taken the steam-coach. Now the lovers !"

do. The little slender, but plump

or " cara-
coling" it, as Sir Thomas Urquhart would say, in
the saltatary style of the opera ; but always Colum-

something less than the opera-dancer, and greater;
more unconscious, yet not so; and ready to stretch
her gauze wings for a flight the moment Riches
would tear her from Love.
