This little sporting metropolis is all life and gaiety, the nobility and gentry, who had departed to , peed their Christmas in London, are now fast pour ng in to return to the sports of the field ; and the ane and boarding-houses have the pleasing prospect )f reaping. a beneficial harvest. To-day Lord Al matey arrived in . his travelling carriage and four, ieeonipanied by the Prince Schwartsenburg, kmongst the persons of distinction in the town and ricinity are Lord Chichester, Lord Darlington, Lord larborough, Lord .Wm. Poulett, Lord Alranley, Lord Grantham, Lord 13rudenell, Lord Forrester, 7.,'ount Sandon, Prince Schwartaenberg, the Earl of aouthampton, the Right Hon.

Drummond, Esq., Valentine •Itther, Esq., John White, Esq., John Hewit, Esq., William Gilmore, Esq., and William Whar on, Esq. The Earl of Plymouth, whose ser rants and horses are remaining here, is ex )ected daily. The German Count Sandon, who s residing at the Georz, departed yesterday :o experience the hospitality of lielvoir Castle, the eat of his Grace the Duke of Rutland, whose birth is celebrated to-day. The whole of the Noble Duke's tenants and de pendants, besides the visitors of distinction, are re galed, according to usual custom, with a most sump tuous banquet. The festivities are kept up for a Fortnight, and the Nottinghamshire and Leicester thire militia are ordered to be in attendance for that period. This is the fifty-second anniver- Hwy of his Grace's birth at Belvoir Castle ; hie. Grace the Dake of Wellington is expected to contribute by his - presence to the universal rejoicings of the county of. Rutland. Lord and Lady Manners, and the Marquis of Granby have been several days at the castle. This evening, a most splendid apartment in the castle will be opened for the first time, in which a grand ball is to take place. The sporting circles here are in expectation of havieg a grand pugilistic treat, as a fight be tween two aspiring Nottinghamshire heroes . of the fist is fixed for to-morrow. Randall and Wilcockson are the combatants, for 1(101. a side; th e former is to be seconded by Young Gas, and the latter by Massa Morgan, known as Josh Hudson's Black. The men, who have been training at Lang ley Mill, Notts, arrived at Ward's, the Fox Inn, ac companied by their seconds, this afternoon. Wil cockson is the favourite, and three to one is readily bandied about, but no takers. The parties fought about .two years ago for nearly a couple of hours, when, in consequence of Wilcockson meeting.with an accident, by breaking hie fingers against the stakes, the battle was drawn. As they are both determined men, a good battle is expected. Tuesday being a dies non with the gentlemen of the chase, a considerable number will no doubt be pre sent. It is said that Wilcockson is largely backed by a gentleman of great sporting celebrity now at Melton. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

Whether we regard liveliness, learning, thought, argument ; in each and all of these various departments of intellect, it puts forth strong claims to our notice. 'The first article, which, from indisputable autho rity, we have ascertained to be by Dr. Southey— an author as well versed in ancient and modern Spanish and Portuguese history as auy one of the present day—relates to the expulsion of the Mo riscoes from Spain ; a delightful subject, and one abounding in all that is attractive, as well as in all that is repulsive in human character. For some years previous to the overthrow of the Moorish Kings in Granada, the wars carried on between them and the Spaniards were distin guished by an extraordinary spirit of chivalry, alloyed with an occasional outbreaking of the barbarian, more especially during the reign of Pedro the Cruel, that gives them a paramount interest over all preceding or subsequent records. Acts of the most refined generosity, conceived, and executed with a tempered elegance of mind and manner, of which the present age can scarcely form an idea, were perpetually going on between the two opposing parties of Moor and Spaniard. In these, however, it is lAA justice to the Mos lem to state, that he usually led the way, as indeed he did in most of these splendid public buildings, which for so many centuries adorned Andalusia. The Spanish character ' gained inconceivably by its partial admixture with the . Moorish ; the grave and somewhat phlegmatic dignity of the one, was warmed into generous activity by the ardent temperament of the other ; and, indeed, the most valuable points of the Spanish mind (if we except their comic novelists) are almost wholly owing to their con nexion with the Moors of Granada. Of this connexion, and its subsequent separation under the memorable reign of Ferdinand and Isabella, Dr. Southey has given us an animated, but sketchy, detail. One defect however pervades his sketch. He has too highly complimented his reader's acquaintance with Spanish history. He has taken for granted that he must be inti mate with all its details. Hence he has merely hinted facts where he should have explained them, and hence his analysis however satisfactory to the few is, we fear, caviare to the many. In selecting extracts, we can find none more entertaining than the following, which in addi tion to its presenting a fine trait of character, is a curious instance of what little Simmons used to ern in Guy Maitnering," " the mutability of human affairs." In the flower of his age he was seized with a malady which, though most unwilling to die, he at length per eeived must pi ove fatal. His great desire then was to se cure the succession for his eon ; and being certain that his death was near (for God alone is eternal) be wrote a letter in these words :—' Alcayde of Xalubania, my servant, im mediately upon receiving this letter from the hands of my Arraiz Ahmad ben Xarae, put the Cid Jnzef my brother to death, and send me his head by the bearer. Fail not in this service !' Among Mahoramedan sovereigns this has been a common preparation for death ; so easily is the evil heart persuaded that it is allowable to prevent one crime by committing another. When the messenger arrived, the Cid Josef and the Alcayde were seated upon a splendid carpet embroidered with gold, leaning upon cushions of silk and gold, and playing ehees. Upon reading the letter, the Aleayde changed countenance ; ha had become attached to Lis prisoner, and had not heart to communicate to him the fatal order, which yet he dared noedisobey. The mes senger, who had no such compon.:tions visitings, urged him to make no delay, and Juzef, perceiving his agitation, said, ' What has the King commanded; is it my death? hath he sent for my head ?' The Alcayde, in reply, put the fatal letter into his hands. Give me a few hours,' said the Prince, to take leave of my women, and dispose of nay effects among them.' Here the Arraiz interposed, and declared that this must not be; the hours for his re we think, to prove that h 3 must be at home in scenes of death. " The Politics of Italy' is a very superior a rticle, emanating from a mind fully alive to its subject, and one that does not content itself with a mere recapitulation of in cidents. It is in fact rather a Magazine of opi nions than a detail of circumstances, and proves its author to be a man of just, equable, and en larged powers of thinking. We give the follow ing comparison between Machiavelli and Mon- L u tesquien ; its truth will be at once appreciated : " Upon a careful review of the two great writers, whom we hare here attempted to delineate ; and a cora parisou of the periods in which they lived, we shall pro bably be disposed, while we admit the high and peculiar claims of Montesquieu, with much hesitation, to ascribe the superiority in genius to Machiavelli. Whether we form our judgment by comparing . their intellectual powers in the aggregate, or award the preference to any single quality, there seems little room for difference of opinion. The Frenchman can only claim the praise of an improver ; the Italian may jastly assume the dignity of an inventor. Equal to Montesvieu in acuteness and profundity, he possesses, in the vigour and originality which created a new species of philosophy, is claim to admiration, para mount to that of all his successors- Both these writers excelled :in the lighter departments of literature; Montes quieu in satire ; Machiavelli in comedy; but here the parallel ends ; the whole compass of French letters affirds no rival to that pure model of historic composition which reZ:ords the revolutions of Florence. There is nothing in Davila or De Thou superior to the dissertations with which eachrbook- is introduced. We doubt whether anything equal to them• had exieed previous to the days of Mr. Hume. - Fame, however, has dispensed her honours to this extraordinary person with very unequal hand. Montes quieu, addressing an instructed age, drew an instantaneous admiration from his contemporarieS, and found the mate rials of • his fame ready laid in every breast. Machiavelli, the light of a barbarow: period, was first discovered in his true magnitude by a distant generation ; when posterity re cognised his eminence, his name had lost its freshness, and has come down to us sullied by the basest calumny. " We cannot permit ourselves to conclude our reflections on these eminent writers, without observing how sure, though slow, are the rewards of truth. While the doc trines; which dazzled their contemporaries, have sunk, like meteors, at the approach of day, the eternal truths, which are at first but darkly seen, have not only, at every advance of reason, unfolded their intrinsic lustre, but diffused on their champions a renown, which lives in the history of society, expands with the progress of the mind, and can only perish in the sunset-darkness of civilization." " Swedish Poetry" is a slight analysis of the life and character of Kellgreen—one of the stars of the North, the Aurora Borealis of Swedish fancy—who was born in 1751, died in 1791, and distinguished himself from the year 1778 up to the moment of his death, by the ease and variety of his writings. A translation is given of one of his most ingenious satires ; but we con fess that we can see nothing superlative about it but its length. Of the remaining articles on " The Memoirs of Vidocq," and " Italian Comedy," we have merely time to say that they will both repay perusal ; and that the brief notices of comparatively unimportant works, with which the Review abounds, are drawn up with great tact and powers of condensation. turn being numbered. 'At least,' said Josef, ' let us finish our game, which I shall end by losing it.' This singular request was not objected to ; and the game was pursued—the Arnie looking on, and waiting for the Prince's head when it should be terminated—Josef himself, with the fortitude of a Malimumedan, as collected, and ap parently u calm, as the looker on—the Aleayde confused and miserable because of the dreadful tootnraand which was laid upon him. In this state of mind, though the advan tage had been his when the messenger came in, he lost all knowledge of the gam, and committed error after error, which Jtmef always observed and warned hint of. And while they were than engaged, two knights arrived, full speed, inviting the Prince to take possession of the throne, for his brother had expired. What must his feelings have been when the whole chivalry of Granada, in the days of its splendour, game out to meet him as he approached the eity ; when he pealed under triumphal arches hastily erected fur his entrance ; saw the houses hung with elothe of silk and gold, the streets and squares strewn with flowers, and heard the acclamations of welcome from a people who, knowing the gentleness of his character, expected to live in prosperity wader him ! It is scarcely possible that he should not then have moralised upon the mutability of for tune ; and if that reflection crossed him, he may have wished not unwisely that the second messenger had arrived too late, for then he might have been in possession of a crown which fadeth not away." " Antiquity of Rhyme " is an ingenious and plausible article, endeavouring to prove by one or two apparently pertinent instances that rhyme was familiar both to Greeks and Romans,•and that it abounds in Latin literature, This last as sertion is more plausible than tenable. Ovid, if we remember rightly, is the chief rhymester among the Roman poets : his Pentameters fre quently consist of two balanced clauses, each of which chimes in with the other's cadence. He is particularly partial to the final 0, but is in no respect to be held up as an adequate representa tive of Latin versification : though always full and eloquent, he is frequently a loose, and oftener a vicious ♦ersifyer. His rhymes, therefore, are the defects not the characteristics of Latin poetry. " Recent Discoveries in Vegetable Physiology" looks learned and may be interesting ; but as our own practical acquaintance with this subject, begins with a potatoe and ends with a cabbage, we may, perhaps, be excused, if we refrain from hazarding an opinion on it. "German Playwrights," is a light and rather humorous Essay on the merits of three noted German Dramatists, Grill parser, Dr. Klingemann, and Dr. Milliner. Of these, the superiority is assigned to Grillparser, who, however, is characterized as insipid and trite, both in expression and incident. Dr. Kli ng emann is zated as bombastic and meior dramatic, full of sound and fury, hard words, murders, suicides, Bcc.'; in short, the Monk Lewis of Germany, a writer dealing in the material, not the spiritual creations of the fancy, and conceiv ing that it is quite as meritorious to describe the rattling bones of a ghost, as to give him suitable language and sentiment. Of Milliner little mole is said than that he is a Doctor—quite enough, DISTRIBUTION OP THE ARMY IN ISO. Ist Regt.

It is wholly of a practical nature, dealing in few theories, still fewer sentiments, but pluming itself on its cumbrous accumulation of facts, which the reader is to reflect on at his leisure, and on which he is left to form his own com ments. The consequence of this exclusiveness is that the number, though serviceable, is heavy, and will, we apprehend, attract few admirers without the pale of those whom circumstances have led to a consideration of the same subjects. Even many lovers of India themselves—those we mean who have passed the best, or perhaps the worst, part of their lives at the presidencies either of Calcutta, Bombay, or Madras—will find but meagre entertainment 'in the present work, unless they be also students, and devoted to reflection rather than to mere light and gos siping reading. The best article, and that chiefly from the profuse nature of its extracts, is decidedly the notice of Mr. Buckingham's newly published volume of Travels in Assyria, Media, and Persia. In this is given a lengthy extract descriptive of the present state of Bassorah—that famous city which, as most of our readers will remember, cuts so con spicuous a figure iu those inimitable fic tions, the Arabian Nights' Entertainments ; but which is now unluckily shorn of its former honours, and degraded to a very common•placc sort of city. Mr. Buckingham's account of this place is worthy of his former fame as a man of observation, and of discriminating powers of des cription. He has neither over-rated, nor unduly subdued, the quality of his details, but put forth his information in so easy, flowing, and engaging a. style, that it must delight all his readers. For ourselves, we have rarely perused a more graphic and animated piece of local description. Next, perhaps, to this in interest comes the Review of Sir John Malcolm's " Reflections on the Pre sent State of British India," to which justice is moderately rendered. " Approaching Discus sions on the East India Company's Charter" is a vehement diatribe on an article that appeared some time since in the Asiatic Journal. Of course, agreeably to the political tenets of the Oriental Herald, the impolicy of continuing such charter is stoutly insisted,on. These are the chief features in the present number, if we ex cept some " fugitive poetry," which, from its cast of style and sentiment is likely, we conceive, to be any thing but " fugitive" from the pages of the Oriental Herald. There it is securely fixed, like a dull work on a bookseller's shelf. Sedet seternumque sedebit, infelix Theseus." THE BIJOU. ROWLAND STEPHENSON. Following up the speculation—which has be come of late so popular—of the English An nuals, Mr. Ackermann has here brought forward a French one, which is ably edited by Monsieur D'Emden, and abounds in beautiful and charac teristic engravings, With respect to the lite rary portions, they are of a high order of merit, and among the contributors we find the name of Delavigne, who has communicated some fine flag, ments relative to Napoleon and Byron—the first of warriors and the first of poets—fitting subjects for the exercise of genius. There is also a faith ful and tolerably elegant translation of Moore's well-known song, " There's a bower of roses by Bendemer's stream," which is worth reading. Altogether we may venture to pronounce the " Bijou" as an elegant and cheap publication, whose literature is good, and whose embellish, ments are of a first-rate order of excellence. did not talon°• to him.
