GAME PRESERVES.—The extent to which the system of game-preserving is carried is almost incredible ; for not alone in the ranks of our proud and overbearing aristocracy are game-preservers to be found—the mania extends to tradesmen,—aye, to Liverpool tradesmen too, —and we are bound to say . that the proceedings of the latter class are often characterised by a spirit of petty vindictiveness and spleen generally unknown amongst despots of a more elevated grade. We spoke of Lord Stanley preserving lands not his own ; the same remark will apply, in an equal degree, to the Earl of Sefton.: The latter Nobleman commences with his preserves at Croxteth, and extends it through Kirby Simmonswood, Aintree, Sefton, Thornton (a township in which lie scarcely owns an acre of land), Altcar, to the sea—a space, as the crow flies, of some twelve miles in length, and averaging two miles in width. Lord Sefton should not put the county to expense for punishing trespassers on twenty-four square miles of land. Some years ago his lordship's keeper, Joseph Warner, of Altcar, was left for dead by some poachers, who were transported for the crime ; but the expenses of the prosecution were borne by the county. Within our recollection one of Lord Skelmersdale's keepers in Latham, was shot dead by a poacher, who was never taken. In Anglesea, the convict Chub now lies under sentence of death for the murder of a gamekeeper. We repeat, then, game preservers should dip into their own pockets, and not into those of the putilic to pay for their whims."—Liverpool Albion. _ _ _  It is not only the expense to society, but the moral destruction of the men, and their unfortunate, and from thenceforth miserable, wives and families..• From that time, too, the bereaved wife may be shut up in a new union, if she cannot drag up her helpless children, though able to maintain herself—in this way women are constantly the victims of bad laws, and of the temptatlons4of tress and misery into which they are plunged by the imprisonmentl and transportation of their fathers, husbands, and sons. , _ _  " .i.-FREEf.ThADZ MISSIONARY FROM THE UNITED iSn'TgA tT: Ameil ttindbder: SolV an delivered the the mane Manchester r TuesdayAnti.corne_vieniii; Association, by J.

Now, mark how these gew-gaw titles seduce those who once were generous, and in some degree disposed to equal rights and equal laws : " We hear it. rumoured that Sir Francis Burdett is at Drayton Manor, fishing for a Peerage."—Sun. This plague spirit runs away with every thing that is generous and noble in men's nature. It is not alone the renegades and the demented whom the law of primogeniture, and the folly of hereditary titles seduce from the nobility of nature, and convert into subservient cringing idlers but those who have been great and useful, when they get dry and shrivelled, are made Lords, and become the parents of idle and useless men and women, despising work and promoting corruption and patronage that they may be placed or pensioned upon society. The suppressive.effects of hereditary titles are more injurious 'than the positive, and they are blighting and destroying. It is the black jaundice of the body social.
