Every island would at

True it is, that no system of policy, no extent of defences, can ever save a large extent of coast from the freebooter and marauder, and a French navy may as easily ravage the shores of Ocean, as a French army once ravaged the Palatinate, The remedy for such evil must be looked for at gates of Paris. Still, the case remains thus; an extensive empiro can alone be upheld by force, or by polley. It is nother suited to our genius, nor within our power, to hold it long together by military force at must be our duty, then, to prepare the way for the only other expedient.

A CRUEL SPORT-Gander pulling is a sort of tour- nament on horseback, and is, I believe, of European origin. A path is laid out on the exterior of a circle of about 150 feet diameter, and wo saplings are sucke into the ground, about twelve feet apart, on each side"} of the path These being connected towards the top! with a slack cord, a liye gander, with his legs tied; and his neck and head made as slippery as possible with goose grease, is suspended by the feet to that part of the cord immediately over the path. The knights of the gander, having each deposited a small sum with the manager of the game, to form as a sweepstakes and to defray the expenses, follow each other, inouated on horseback, at intervals round the ring, two or three times before the signal is made to pull. When that is stone, the cavaliers advance, each fixing his eye steadily upon the gander'e ating neck, which he must seize and drag from the body of the wretched bind before the purse is won. This is not easily done; for as the rider advances be bas to pass two men, five or six yards be fore, he reaches the potence, one of them on each sirle of the path, and both armed with stout whips, who Blog his horse unmercifully the instant he comes up to thew, to present an unfair delay at the cord. Many ure thas unable to give the neck at all, having enough. to do to keep the saddle, and others who succeed in seizing it often find it impracticable to retain hold of such a slippery substance upon a horse at full speed. Meantime, the gander is sure to get some severe scrage, and for awhile screams most lustily, which forts a prominent part of the entertainment. The tournament is generally continued long after the poor bird's neck is broken, before it is dragged from its body but some of the young fellows have horses well trained to the sport, and grasp the neck with such strength and adroitness that they bear off the head, windpipe and all, screaming convolaively after they are separated from the body.This is considered the greatest feat that can be performed at gander palling.-Feather- glonhuugh's Cance Poyage up the Minnay Sotor.

From the China Correspondence of the Times Sir-Yog have recently drawn public attention to our colonies, to their claims upon the mother coun- try to their great cost to it. It would be well to go further, and to consider the policy of Great Bri- fain in the government of her colonies. It would puzzle any publicist, it would puzzle the future his- torian, to lay down what it is. With the largest empire of dependencies that ever were collected under one sceptre in the whole history of the world, I will venture to assert that our public men have never pared to discuss this question, whether they ought to be governed so as to lead them to independence or whether they ought to be maintained in leading strings.
