completing
fittings in the Basin; the crew of the Queen, 110, turned
over to her, are hulked on board the Minotaur. Some dis-
content has recently been manifested by the crew of this ship,

think, not without cause. This crew fitted out the Camper.

TITE GAME MALTA.--Whilst the odious game-pre.
serving system continues—whilst our " English country
gentlemen" continue in the condition of " poulterers,'
as the Duke of Portland properly termed them—poach-
iug (with all its evils and consequences) will also con-
tinue. The extent to which the preserving mania is
carried is a premium for poaching, as much as giviag to
gamekeepers half of a penalty.(which they get when
penteties are paid), is a premium fur perjury. The
mania gentry are so jealous of each other, whereut
toys,
estates adjoin, that they quarrel like children Abe
