FRENCR GAME LAMS.—The Tribunal of Correctional Police decided, on Saturday, two cases of seta interest to sportsmen. Count de Chamoy arrived in Park on the 28th ult., with two woodcocks in his possession. The woodcocks were immediately seized by the employes of the Octroi, as game in a prohibited lesson, and they were forwarded to the Commissary of Police. The next day the Count demanded that his woodcocks should be given up, as. sorting that he had brought them from the department of the Eure-et.Loire, in which the Prefect allowed mesa to be killed at all times as birds of passage ; but it was replied that, though woodcocks might be birds of passage in the Eure-de-Loire, they were not so in the flegeste meet of the Seine. The birds were accordingly esaastalsii to the profit of the hospitals, and a complaint was lodged against the count for carrying game out of season. He was fined 50fr. and costs. The other case was as follows :—On the arrival of a diligence at its office, the Octroi men examined the twigs of the passengers. One of them raised the lid of • bet, and a live hare leaped out. He knew Motel seised it, and called on the owner of the basket to make known, in order that • complaint WOO be him, and a fine inflicted of from Mk te rat however, claimed the hare, and m *saw *maw of the diligence was cited before the tribuaal Bs hawasw esisve7ed it, and he was condemned to a AM of M. • ammo Cosseitutionnel has the following notioa of boa-Maio, whose capture we mentioned yesterday : "Bow Masa, who is not more than twenty-five years of age, had been for us an adversary so much more dangerous, era be beg obtained a great ascendancy amongst the Kabyls beim of the Debra, until then caring little shout AC: cause, and apparently indifferent to the progress of oar serptist, and besides haughty and warlike to an extraegdfaml dowse. Bou-Maza had obtained his power over tar geeirgioul fanaticism. Without any very remarkable take% awning nobody knew whence, of doubtful bravery, he Assessed none of the qualities which have weight with the Arab; but he had cleverly turned to account the credulity and superstition of these rude children of the desert. Some he persuaded that he was the same as a certain mom bout, who had been condemned and executed for murder, but who had come to life again by miracle. Others he induced to believe that he was invulnerable in battle, end that balls, always carrying death, issued forth from the nostrils of his horse. Nothing was spoken of in the tents of the tribes but his pretended miracles, his austere life, and the supernatural powers of a certain goat, his familiar deans, which had procured for him the surname sf Boa-Xmas. By the aid of these juggleries, this impostor acquired nib an authority over the Kabyls tribes, that on two dill beet °emulous they revolted, notwithstanding the exempbuy law tisement ' • on them by our columns. Boa-Idasa, after having raised the insurrection, showed in the war neither cleverness nor courage. Hiegreatest exploits consisted in getting murdered in an ambuscade El-Hemmed and Si-MAammed, two of our most faithful agents. The contradiction given by facts to his prophetic promises lowered him of late considerably, and in consequence Abd-el-Kader, in his lest attempt on Algeria, assigned him • secondary post. Nevertheless Bou-Mesa, though thus lowered, might still become dangerous to us. He knew how to act on the fanatical character of the natives, and it was besides nearly proved that he was the emissary of one of the secret associatio.us of one of the two religious sects which divide Algeria, and on this ground alone he was se object of great veneration. It is announced that Bcni-Mara is to be sent to Paris. We cannot say if this news be true ; but certainly such a course would be an exceedingly great proof of our moderation and clemency. This adventurer is stained with the blood of two of our best servants, and his whole life has been marked by acts of violence."
