The Sun. — 1844-09-10 (London, England)

PARIS.  Truly at this moment is London out of town. Nay, not only out of ton n, but out of the realm. Any one who has counted the myriads that for the last month  have vs-, Oily bade their native land " good night"—any one who still numbers the tens of thousands that c tinne weekly to wing their way to continental shores, will have little difficulty in guessing where London is now actually to be found. Despite the threatening murmurs from Otaheite—despite the portentous booming of the Prince de Joinville's cannon at Tangiers and Mogadore, London rushes onwards to Paris, and Paris, deserted by its recreant Parisians, may almost be said to be in the possession of adventurous tour-enamoured Londoners. To carry away the spoils of the French capital ere the blast of war be sounded—to secure some of its rich and unequalled produce in this perhaps their last trip—is the natural desire of our travelling compatriots. A few hints touching the selection of their purchases may not be unacceptable at this critical moment. The Palais Royal, as a general depjit of all that is tasteful and graceful, need only to be mentioned. But they who depart from it without visiting the magazine of Lahoche Boin d6l' esealier de Cristal, have seen but the half of its attractions and wonders. This is the house. s bleb, at the last Exposition Nationale, displayed such exquisite designs in porcelain and crystals as elicited unbounded admiration, and from which Mr. Wilson, the agent of our Government, made such large purchases. For those who have not inspected the stock of' this manufactory, to form an idea of the novel shapes and brilliant colours imparted to porcelain and crystal by recent improvements in the art would be impossible. The chaste-and striking forms of antiquity are reproduced with increased beauty, anti ,the elegant designs of modern taste are wrought in st-Ityle and with an edit hitherto unimagined. To the simple lovers of vertu a visit to the magazine would be a treat indeed, for here the rarest specimens of old Sevres, and, in fact, objects of curiosity of all descriptions, and of the greatest value, are to be found. Ancient and modern art, side by side, delight the eye, and offer to the connoisseur the widest scope for the exercise of his judgment and his choice. Should our sight-seeing countrymen be passing along the Boulevard des Italins, let them not fail to enter the handsome furniture manufactory of M. Osmont, Here they will see the: effect of this gentleman's imitation of Chinese laquer (La Lague de Chine), as used in the varnishing and decoration of general furniture. Nothing can be conceived more truly splendid than a drawing-room suite lacquered with this composition, which is infinitely superior to that used by the Chinese, and the invention of which was very deservedly rewarded by the silver medal at the last Exposition. Hitherto we were forced to be content with shawl-boxes, screens, tea-caddies, and such like  little articles in this lacquer, which the " Celestials" were pleas:d to send us ; now, however, thanks to M. Osinont's invention, we may have our drawing-rooms and our boudoirs entirely furnished in this rich' and beautiful style. Mention of the drawing-room and the boudoir reminds us of la tielle tuillette; and to our fair countrywomen sojourning in the French capital we say—" As you value your reputation for elegance, neglect not to consult les Dames Herbau:t Nieces, of the Rue Melard." Besides  the certainty of seeing in the maison des modes of these ladies such a daily variety of costume and fashion as absolutely amazes the spectator by its profusion and good taste, one has the great advantage of being certain to meet there the elite of Parisian society, and the cream of distinguished foreigners. In such a circle of stylishness and bon ton, and in the hands of such artistes as les Dames Ilerbault Flees, it is impossible not to become " the glass of fashion and the mould of form." English beauty adorned by French art is truly the perfection of loveliness. As we are on the subject of female costume, we may as well give a hint regarding that most important portion of it, the bonnet. The chapeau de piffle still continues the rage, and a visit to the magazine of M. Fleschelle, of the Rue Richelieu, is indispensable to ladies desirous of being regarded as models of fashion. The variety of chapeaux de paille is so great that to particularise them would be endless. The chapeau de paille fantasie, the chapeau de paille de tiles et paille de riz brode, the chapeau brocete guipure et paille, in different colours and designs, are equally charming and equally commendable for elegance. To each wearer must be left the discretion of choosing those which best become her comp!exion and style of beauty.—Post.  THE GAME Liws.—Two of the gamekeepers of :he Earl of Stradbroke committed suicide on Saturday  and Sunday, within twenty-four hours of each other. Report attributes the death of both of them " to their anxiety and dread of meeting their master (who was exFeted at Benham-park on Saturday, on his return from his Irish estates, but who is not now looked for till this week), fearing his anger that such extensive depredations should have been allowed among his preserves as have lately thinned the number of his pheasants, &c." There are other reports to a similar effect, showing that the anxiety of mind which ended in these unfortunate men destroying themselves was caused by their solicitude about the game they had to preserve. It is not long since another gamekeeper of this same Lord Stradbroke was murdered by poachers, and, if our memory serves us aright, several transportations beyond the seas were the consequence. Look, then, at the loss of life, the misery, and the expense to the public, that this, single landlord's game may be preserved. Let it be held in mind that, during the last ten years, some thirty gamekeepers have been murdered, and as many poachers _ _  hanged for the murders—that in one year, namely, 1843, thirty persons were transported, and 4,500 convicted and sentenced to fine and imprisonment in England alone, for infringements of the game laws—that the cost of prosecuting the " criminals," and in maintaining their families when thrown upon the parish, amounts annually to not less than 100,0001. sterling, not to speak of the immense cost of maintaining those who are transported beyond the seas, nor of the wreck and ruin of virtue and happiness to tens of thousands, nor of the brutal and revengeful feelings engendered, and the desperate criminals who are brought into existence and fostered by these laws ; and who shall say but that they are one of the greatest curses of our land, and ought, without delay to be swept from off our statute-book for ever ?—Leeds Times.
