FRENCH WRITER ON THE SUPPRESSION OF AN IRISH NEWSPAPER.— OR the subject of "the suppression of a journal in England," M. Paulin Limayrac has another strong article to-day (says a Paris correspondent). It is not that the fluent writer in the Constitutionnel finds fault with the measure, but that he reads a lecture from that text to the Liberals of France. He says: "In fact, liberty was not created in England by the stroke of a magic wand; it MRS a laborious conquest, and its actual existence dates only from the day when all parties united in recognising the dynasty and the institutions which make the greatness and prosperity of the country. This is so true that even to this day liberty exists only on those conditions. If the conditions change, all changes with them. The journalist is no longer a journalist—the journal no longer a journal. The writer is a felon, and the paper a hotbed of conspiracy. They are arrested; the hotbed of conspiracy is occupied by troops, even before legal proof, as we shall see by-andbye," dm. These are strong measures, but then, remarks the writer, the fact is accepted "without the least protest by the public opinion of England. From this we wish to deduce a practical lesson for both countries. It seems to us that our neighbours, being forced to retrace their steps, should be less prompt to misundsistand the state of things with us. It also scenic to us that it affords a surious lesson to French Liberalism. Let us remember by what means England acquired this liberty which we envy her, and let us also see how she understands it even now in the presence of an attack on her institutions."  ' -Tug GAME Laws. The London "Daily Telegraph" believes that when the country members of the last Parliament passed the shameful new Game Act they did but precipitate the Indignant abolition of that measure and all such statutes. Relying on their apparent accession of strength, the squires have iN(.1110 so outrageously contemptuous of humanity and public opinion that we are really going back to William Rufus, who hamstrung a peasant if he were fund in the Royal coverts. They have turned the village constables into gamekeepers, and they send out their own servants night after night, with a whole arsenal of lethal weapons, to shoot down their fellow-creatures as you shoot polecats and stoats. Ought, then, the poachers to have the free run of the woods? Ni) : but the thing which brings about the midnight homicides is the preserving system itself—the very antipodes of the true idea 14 sport ; and if England is too small for pheasants and peasants together, the birds, and not the men, must go. Try the game laws by the Divine maxim—by their fruits ye shall know them. See what you dare plead for enactments which crowd the gaols with prisoner*, Si the lists at the StiliZlol with cases of life and death, spread tears and poverty through country homes, curse the land with bitter feelings, and dye the woodland flowers in the blood of men hot with the angerof mortal strife—and all for a rabbit or a partridge! Let some , one move in the coming session for a returnof the ablebodied men languishing in prison as poachers. Half of them are village idlers; yet if but a tenth are otherwise, the system is infamous.  A
