GAME LAWS.

If any thing were wanting to prove the fallacy of
continuing the present Laws, and the prohibition on the
sale of Game, mote than the arguments of those who
advocate the repeal, it would be the fact, that many—
very many thousands of partridges and hares have been
regularly imported into London, Dover, Rochester,
and other putts, in the last season, between Ist•&pt.
1827, and Ist April instant, the majority of which has
been sold by the different poulterers without fear,' or
the hazard of an informatioa—it being considered that
charging game with a Revenue duty, as an article of
import, legalises its sale, and consequently secures the
vender from prosecution. The French farmers who
send their game to the markets of Calais and Boulogne,
derive considerable advantages from these imports, and
as French partridges anti hares cannot well be distin-
guished from English, how much has nut an English
poultererer in his power, to give his game stock such
denomination as best suits his purpose I

One of the most delightful watering places of the
present day on the coast of England is Dover, which
has now to boast cf 200 houses, recently built, on a
salubrious str.tnd, close to the sea, commanding at in-
tervals most distinct views of Calais and Boulogne, and
the rich perspective of A mbleteuse, and the country im-
mediately opposite. All the inanity and monotonous
feeling which visiters experience at most watcrin3
places, from parading the same walks and streets, with-
out relief, is removed by the animating assemblage of
company, three or four times a-day, or :4 packets
sailing to and arriving horn France—add to which,
there is a highly respectable garrison of the military,
and a very good Theatre. Many of the families here
make parties of pleasure to France, the best pickets
performing the voyage in less than three hours, and
often two hours and a half only.
