THE FIRST OF SEPTEMBER.

On taking the field on the Ist of September, I by no
means recommend a very early hour for the commence-
ment of the business of the day ; neither can I from my
own experience recommend that the pursuit shall be
given up at ten or eleven in the forenoon, and recom-
menced at three oa four in the afternoon. Under ordi-
nary circumstances birds will be found to a certainty in
potatoe or turnip fields, to which they immediately re-
pair from the grass or clover where they have passed
the night, two or three hours before they will be met
with in stubble. Amongst the loose soil of the pota-
toe or turnip drills damped with the morning dew, are
to be found in abundance the grubs, larvEe and every
description of insect food, of which both pheasant and
partridge are so iond ; and they do not seek the stub-
bles until the warmth of the sun has in some measure
dissipated the moisture of the preceding- night. On
leaving their roosting places they fly in a body to
potatoes or turnips, where they are immediately
scattered in search of food, and it but rarely hap-
pens that all the individuals of a covey arc
sprung from such fields at the same moment.
The careful working of such ground is therefore neces-
sary. Six o'clock is quite early enough to take the
field. On reaching the stubbles, for which half-past
eight or nine is the proper hour, the coveys will be
found to consist of fewer individuals than the sportsman
anticipated, as in all probability some of the members
will remain in potatoes till basking time ; and it is by
no means an uncommon circumstance for the whole brood
to refrain from visiting the corn land until pressed by
hunger in the afternoon, when they are no longer able
to procure their more favourite food of larvae and in-
sects, which satisfied their appetites in the morning.
No. 7 shot is plenty large enough for partridge in the
early part of the season—indeed throughout the year ;
larger sizes have their advocates, but one great objection
to large shot is, that it tears and mangles the bird much
more than small. If it be urged that hares frequently
present themselves in partridge-shooting, I can only say
that I have ever found No. 7 fully answer the purpose
for hares as well as rabbits. Not that I would use it
were I going for the express object of shooting hares
and rabbits—a larger size is to be preferred for that pur-
pose.—Old Sporting Magazine for September.

LIVING MODELS.
(From the Art Union.) •
As all artists employed in the delineation of the humane
figure must, more or less, require the assistance of living
models, I beg leave to recommend to your notice the
names, qualifications, and addresses, of some of the
most useful now in the profession ; trusting, at the same
time, that other artists will take the same trouble in for-
warding to the Art-Union any information upon
this most important accompagnenient de l'atilier.
For almost faultless proportion, I should recommend
Mrs. Dobson, of 21, Great Titchfield-street ; Miss
Glover, 38, Great Wild-street, Lincoln's-inn- fields, about
seventeen years of age—a very good face, and much
finer figure, fair, with dark-brown hair. Miss Neale,
same address as Miss Glover—a very handsome
face, and, like her companion, sits for the figure.
Miss Lakeman the most beautiful face Leslie
ever painted was a faithful portrait of this
model. Her residence is at 6, Peashall- place, Cam-
bridge-terrace, Edgware-road. Margaret Welsh, an
Irish peasant girl from the hills of St. Giles's, dark hair,
and " wid raal Milasian faatures." Her cabin is at, 21,
Southampton-court, Fitzroy-sqaure. Mrs. Musgrove, a
very interesting and piquante-looking brunette. The last
time I heard of her address it was 9, Hanover-street,
Long-acre, living with Mrs. Grubin. Mrs. Howard, 4,
Eaton-lane, North Pimlico, a Siddonian figure, good for
your tyrannical and sanguinary-minded heroines. There
are several other female models whose addresses I have
lost. For instance, Miss Clousley, Miss Tuffield, Misses
Johns and Lancaster. And there is a family of chil-
dren who sit ; their addresses could be obtained from
Mrs. Dobson, or, I believe, of the Life Academy, St.
Martin's-lane,

-bn the list of male models, for strength and
muscular development, stands George Glenny ; I should
compare him with the Dancing Fawn, having all the
youth and elasticity of that figure ; he lives at 8, Den-
mark-street, Soho—when unemployed professionally, he
is to be seen personating a Red Indian at Catlin's Exhi-
bition, Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly. John Wilton, a
" Zummerzet.shire man," but with such a head, face,
and beard, as would have rejoiced Salvator. This gen-
tleman has for some years cultivated his mustachios
and his vegetables at the same time (when he does not
sit, he digs), of both of which he has a prolific crop. Sir
D. Wilkie, speaking of Wilton, said, " This man, Sir,
is a maist extraordinar model ; in face, he looks per-
fec'ly apostolical ;" but an artist from the " isle of the
west" said, " Och 1 he's the beau ideal of a rapparee."
Charles Landseer introduced his portrait as his "Tired
Huntsman ;"and Maclise, as his "Little John ;" he lives
at 2, Short-street, Edgware-road. Signor Marchi, an
Apollo-like looking fellow, in high request ;he has had
the honour of sitting several times to Prince Albert ;
and if his Royal Highness does not know what a good
model is, who does ? His palazzo stands in Cross-
street, Hatton-garden, No. 25. R. Sims, a Scotsman,
of very great age ; one of the most useful models that
could be recommended ; very little idealization is re-
quisite to paint a perect head of Lear, from this
venerable man ; his features are intelligent ; the head
bald ; hair white, and reaching to his shoulders ;
very long beard and mustachios ' • he has been but a
very short time in London, and before he was well
known, met with a severe accident, being now in the
hospital with a broken arm, but he expects to be out in
a week •, his address, 13, Hemmitlg's-row, St. Martin's-
lane. Mr. Ching, a good-looking man, between fifty
and sixty, bald-headed, grey hair ; 30, Charlton-street,
New-road. John Coulton, 3, Crawford-passage, Clerk-
enwell, a decayed landscape painter (vide one of Cope's
etchings produced at the Etching Society); an old men,
with long, dark grey hair. John Eness, of 6, Old
Brook's-court, Fitzroy-passage, Fitzroy-market ; this
man is ninety-three years of age ! (the late Douglas
Cowper introduced his head as Brabantio, in his cele-
brated picture of " Othello," now in the possession of
the
.Marquis of Lansdowne); a most excellent model.
Emmet, 26, Union-street, Middlesex Hospital, a
modern Antinous, much in request; be sits very much
at the Royal Academy. M. Decour, a Frenchman of
enormous muscular power, from the hips upwards, (the
lower extremities are deformed) ; he is a living pocket
edition of the Farnesian Hercules : his address could be
obtained at the Royal Academy. Watson, 6, Church-
street, St. Giles, It man of 70, an excellent and patient
sitter: At any time, should other names occur to rue, I
will do thyself the honour of forwarding them to you.
I tim, Sir, your humble servant,

Messrs. Young and Delcambre, of London, are said to
have constructed an ingenious machine, which will place
the moveable types used in printing, in the same posi-
tion, with regard to the spelling of words, as they are
now placed by the compositor. By means of this ma-
chine, a column of a newspaper, containing 12,000 types,
is composed, including what is technically called " justi-
fication," and putting into lines, in two hours, which is
six hours less than an expert compositor will accomplish
the task by hand.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.—We heard Mr. Clay
in a debate, a day or two since, upon the Loan Bill, re-
mark, that for 20 or 30 years, neither he nor his wife
had owed any man a dollar. • •Both of them, many years
gone by, had come to the conclusion, that the best prin-
ple of economy was this,—" Never to get into debt. To
indulge your wants when you were able to do so, and 6,
repress them when you are not able to indulge them"—

WINDSOR, SEPT. I.—An accident of an alarm-
in7 nature took place to-day in the middle and lower ward
of Castle. A party had just alighted from an open
carriage, and the horses' heads turned towards the town,
when they became restive, and kicked and plunged fright-
fully in the narrow part of the entrance by the Norman
gate; at last setting off at full speed, the carriage came
in contact with a projecting wall which divides the
ruitldle from the lower ward, and the poll, bar, and
traces having broken, they were freed from the over-
turned carriage, and pursued their mad career down
the hill towards King Henry the gateway,
against
which they dashed themselves, and were at once brought
to the ground. For a few seconds it was thought they
were both killed, so violent was the shock ; they are,
however; not so much hurt as was expected, nor is the
damage done to the carriage-so • great as The. rapid pace,
the continuous turning of the road, and the many ob-
structions liable to be met with in it, would lead us to
conclude. Most fortunately the road was free from par-
ties, and no further accident occurred.
