destroying tendencies of the game-laws will be viewed much
more seriously next year than they were the last. The
game lords.— those who stifled Mr. Brimarr's report last year—
have not then been so wise in their generation. We have
been led to this subject by a letter in the Times, written by
Captain FORBES, who describes himself a Deputy-Lieuten-
ant and Magistrate fur Berkshire, and whose letter does him
infinite honour. When famine impends, the case which Cap-
tain FORBES states, speaks for itself:—
" I am a freeholder living in the neighbourhood of a
might( Nimrod's game preserves. the effects of which this
year nearly a repetition of last and others preceding) are,
that I have been obliged to plough up and entirely re-cultivate
twenty-six acres, originally planted with wheat, and five
with beans, and to dibble in beans in other land where the
wheat was destroyed, which also, together with the rest of
my crops, were ruinously damaged.
This is a year of scarcity. My land being in the highest
state of farming would yield, in ordinary seasons, a load of
wheat to the acre. Now, at the average of one quarter, or
eight bushels per man ( which I believe fair) in this year of
scarcity, the bread of so many human beings is destroyed on one
farm, not to mention other produce, and this sele'y for the
amusement of the leisure hours of a powerful neighbour.
"I think you will agree with me that, with our increasing
population, and the severe competition farmers are ea-posed b
in the markets, it is high time to expunge the game-laws from
the statute-book."

ABD-EL-KADER. In one of his reports he thus boasts :

"We have nothing more to fear from ABD-EL-KADER, who
has probably re-entered Morocco, having failed in his attempt
at a general insurrection, and abandoning to themselves the
tribes that he had excited to revolt in the province of Oran.
This ought to lower him in the eyes of the Arabs; but they
do not judge of things in the same way as ourselves." The
last portion of the paragraph contains the whole secret of the
endless disappointments to which the eccentric Governor-
General is doomed. The Arabs will judge of
things in their own way, they will take no ad-
vice from an enemy, but go on fighting his
troops in detail, harassing them on every march, and sur-
prising them in every mountain pass or glen. Some of the
Opposition with reason consider the Marshal totally unfit
for the Government of Algiers, and look only to increasing
and hopeless warfare while he retains supreme power.
The meeting of the Council General of the Seine, which
took place on Saturday, has caused a good deal of sensation
among the Paiisians, those especially interested in railway
speculation. M. ARAGO was present, and recanted his
opinion delivered in the Chamber, to the effect that
the management and formation of railways ought
not to be entrusted to the State. He may think himself right
at last, but the opinions of this philosopher are not to be de-
pended upon, for he changes them with wonderful facility.
A proposition was made with a view to gheck jobbing in
shares, and when the President was about to put it to the
vote, M. AR AGO rose and said :

As for the farmers being exposed to competition, what
cares the game-lord for that, except as it will diminish the
rent which he receives ; and if he will not consent to a dimi-
nution of rent for any other reason, will he not for the grati-
fication of his own pleasures ? He protects the farmer, not
for the farmer's sake, but his own, and will protect him
against every one but himself and his own pleasures. There
shall be a duty on poultry from France or Belgium to protect
the British farmer, but the farmer may do the best he clin
against the competition of his landlord's game at the poul..
terer's. Never was s,3l6shness so complete as that of the
corn-law-upholding game-protecting English squire. For
the protection of the English landlord, the supply of food to
the people of England is narrowed, and the English landlord
narrows the supply of food still further for his own amuse-
ment. With a free supply of corn—with the ports open—
the game-laws might be let alone. As it is, with famine im-
pending, all the game prosecutions and all the scurrilous
letters of all the GRANTLEY BERIC.ELZYS in the kingdom
cannot save them.

" My position requires that I should offer some explanations
upon the vote I am about to give; for it wi►l be in favour of the
sunendment of M. Considerant. In the Chamber I was a member,
and was appointed reporter of the committee of eigLteen which
decided, In the railroad question, in favour of companies. It is not
necessary for me to explain my reasons for then refusing to grant
the formation and management of the railroads to the State. But
I shall take this opportunity for declaring explicitly that I was
mistaken. I did not foresee those things which we now witness;
but, considering the deplorable and scundalous transactions to
which semblances of adjudication have given rise, my opinion is
altered."

We regret to find from the Irish papers, that the horrible
system of assassination is still carried on in that unfortunate
country, and that it is proceeding to such a height, that if
exertions are not made by every respectable class in the
community, property will speedily lose half its value,
and not even labour be found for the starving
peasant. In fact, it has become a system. The fix-
ture in land is considered the peasant's right ; he
has been buoyed up with the hope that the Saxons would
ultimately be expelled, and that the entire soil will remain in
possession of the native Irish. But what renders the present
appearance of affairs more melancholy—the peasant is resolved
not to wait for that happy deliverance, he is resolved at once
to take the law into his own hand, and when turned out of a
plot of ground for his negligence and sloth, he throws
all the blame upon the unhappy landlord; and, considering
himself fully entitled to possession, with the assistance of
some comrades, he waylays his victim, and, in open day,
commits the foulest murder. Mr. O'ComsEri, cannot deny
such melancholy truths, which are now, indeed, admitted
by all parties in. Ireland. Even hand-bills are cir-
culated in different counties, inciting the peasantry to
massacre their landlords. At the meeting of the Repeal
Association, on Monday, Mr. O'CONNELL produced a docu-
ment headed " Landlords and Tenants—Tyrants turning
Tenants out," which, he observed, was extensively
circulated, and incited the people to assassinate
their landlords. He added, the notice was of such
an atrocious character, that he could not feel justified
in giving it publicity. The paper was printed on good paper,
in excellent type, and bore the signature of the
Messrs. Plumecyrom, Holborn, London. The moment he
saw the document he dispatched it to the Commissioners of
Police. Facts like these received confirmation from another
speaker, Mr. O'NEIL, who, after adverting to the failure of
the :potato crop to the extent of two-thirds, said, "That was
a melancholy state of things, but it might be rendered still
worse, if secret societies, so injurious to the country, were
not put down. To illustrate this fact, he might mention
that a friend of his had borrowed in England
a sum of 30,0001., which he proposed to expend in the im-
provement of his estate. Before the arrangements were
finally concluded a murder was perpetrated in the immediate
neighbourhood of his friend, which so terrified the
English capitalist, that he backed out of the agreement, pay-
ing all the costs incurred in making the title, and then lent
his money on security in England at three per cent., al-
though he was to have received five in Ireland.
It was, therefore to secrect societies, from which
the murder sprung, that many of the evils of
this country were to be attributed." Let the priests
of Ireland ponder well on statements like these. No clergy
in the world ever had such power over their people. They
have many means of discovering the wretched criminals who
thus disgrace human nature ; and if they do not,without delay,
combine together for putting down outrages so ruinous to the
country, and so contrary to every precept of the Gospel,
they must incur the blame of participating in the crimes.
Even under such an atrocious system the construction of
railroads, which promised so fair to give employment to tens
of thousands, will turn out only a curse, and every English
engineer and artisan and labourer, who might be neces-
sary to teach them in carrying on the works,
would be exposed to an untimely end. A Loyal
Association, to put down assassination, might be
well substituted for the present Repeal Association. The
one is purely a party concern—the other would embrace
every good Christian, every honest man, and every friend of
his country.

We have intelligence from Madrid of the 11th instant,
which is of a distressing character. The investigations into
the late mutiny at Valentia had been brought to a close, and
the greater part of the soldiers implicated had been con-
demned to death. The Tiempo, in a second edition, states
that as the last courier left ten of the unfortunate prisoners
were on their way to the place of execution, and that from
eighteen to twenty more would undergo the same fate. It
appears, also, that several of the inhabitants had been ba-
nished on twenty-four hours' notice, without a trial or par-
ticulars of the charges against them. The same journal
quotes an extract from the Gibraltar Chronicle, according to
which the last accounts from Fez were highly favourable to
ABD-EL-KADER, who had killed about 800 men and captured
500 in his late engagements with the French; and the Em-
peror of MOROCCO was about to quit Mequinez.
We give the following from the Clamor Publico, relative
to Court amusements :

"It is said that Queen Maria Christina is very expert in the
culinary art, and that, in her rural excursions, she likes to try the
skill of those who accompany her. On a recent occasion she de.
sired the Ministers of War, Justice, and Foreign Affairs, to pre-
pare, each of them, a dish of their own. General Narvaez cooked a
gaspacho (a sort of soup, consisting of water, bread, oil, vinegar,
milk, sa't, and pepper), and garlick was found to predominate far
too much. M. Mayans bestowed his skill on chickens with a To-
mate sauce, but they were smoked. M. Martinez de la Rosa con-
tented himself with the production of hard eggs; and the Royal
Family are stated to hare laughed most heartily at the culinary abL.
lilies of their Ministers."

The Spanish Funds were rising. On the 11th the Three
per Cents. were done at 35% 3/4 ; the Five per Cents at 24%;
and the Passives at 8% lA.

The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the affairs of
Africa, a resolution adopted by the Council-General of the
Seine to prevent gambling in railway shares, and an ac-
count, dated Monte Video, Sept. 8, of the operations of the
English and French squadrons in taking possession of. Colo-
nia. On the latter subject the Journal des Debate contains a
letter, extending to four columns, of which we give the fol-
lowing abstract, rather to show the views of the French
writer, than for much additional information :—" The united
English and French squadrons have taken possession of the
town of Colonia. Previously to the proceedings of the

squadrons, assistance had been given to the Government of

Monte Video in fitting out a small flotilla, in order that the
possession 7of Colonia might be given up to the troops of
Monte Video as soon as it should have come into the hands
of the allied forces. On the 29th of August two English
vessels, the Satellite and the Philomele, and three French
vessels of twenty guns each, the Assas,Coquett e, and Ducouedie,
had come to an anchorage off Colonia, and on the 30:12

he two Admirals made preparations for the attack. A

few days before their arrival the Commandant of Colonia had
sent away all the foreigners, and they had taken refuge in

the small island of San-Gabriel, where they were provided
with the mesas of subsistence by the French and English
vessels. Ia the evening of the 30th the batteries of Colonia
opened their fire upon the allied squadrons, but it did no in-
jury. The Assas was the only vessel struck by a ball, and

that slightly. At the same time that the batteries began to
play upon the vessels a fire broke out in several parts of the
town, and the flames threw a vivid light over the operations

At eight o'clock on the morning of the 31st the flotilla from
Monte Video arrived, and the garrison, seeing the Oriental
flag, renewed with rage the attack upon the vessels. The
Philomele first replied, a- d was followed by the other Eng-
_ _ _

lish vessel. The- French Admiral then ordered the Assas,
Coquette, and Decouedie, to open their fire, which they did
with effect, but in such a way as not to do more
damage to the town than could be helped. The
flotilla then joined in the siege, and the enemy having
ceased firing, and the town appearing to be evacuated,
the troops, raised at Monte Video to about 450 in number,
chiefly Italian refugee, effected a landing. The fire which
had broken out in the town had not done much injury, but
the inhabitants had fled. The troops from Monte Video com-
menced a pillage, and, breaking open the storehouses, in-
dulged in potations of strong liquors, leaving what they did
not drink to run to waste in the streets. Even the pretty
church of Colonia was not respected, and the altar became a
drinking table. None of the English and French sailors
partook of these excesses, but applied themselves assiduously
—after something like order had been restored—to the repair
of the fortifications. This being done, and seven pieces of
cannon from the ships being mounted, the allied squadron
placed the town in the hands of a garrison of the Monte
Videan troops, and returned to Monte Video. The accounts
add, that Martin Gartia, which had already been abandoned
by the troops of Roses, was to be occupied by a garrison from
Monte Video, and all the coast of Uruguay was to be placed in
a state of blockade."

The dispatches received by the Minister of War from
Africa add little to the previous information. If Marshal
13uoicAuD, however, is to be believed, the game is all up with

A BOAT CAPSIZED.—LOSS OF LIFE.—On Thurs-
day last the following melancholy accident happened off the
mouth of Weymouth harbour ,—As a boat from her Majesty's
revenue cutter Rob Roy, was making for the port, with a
press of sail, the wind blowing strong from the south-east,
when off Newton's Cove it drave her bows under water, and
she immediately capsized. The crew consisted of five indi-
viduals; the whole wem immersed in the sea; one of them
was untbrtunately drowned, not being able to retain his hold
on the boat, which was keel upwards ; the other four held
on till assistance came, which was afforded as quick as pos-
sible ; they were much exhausted, but happily saved from
their Letilous situation. . The sailor drowned, a young man,
was named Tucker ; his body has not yet bees found.—
