THE SPORTSMAN.

This Magazine, as usual, contains two spirited
plates, the best of which is "A Halt in the
Highlands "—a picturesque landscape sketch,
with a wild mountain back-ground, whose lofty
summits mingle with the sky on the verge of
the horizon. The figure of the sportsman, who is
seated on a fragment of rock, refreshing himself
with a glass of whiskey after the fatigues of the
day, exhibits much ease and grace of attitude.
The literary contents, which, of course, are ex-
clusively of a sporting character, are happily
adapted to the class of readers to whose tastes
they appeal. Among the various contributions
the one which we have perused with the most
pleasure is " Wanderings by the Lakes and
Rivers of Ireland," in which there is a racy de-
scription of Loch Neagh, " the largest lake in
the British Islands, being twenty miles long,
twelve broad, and covering an extent of ninety-
eight thousand two hundred and fifty statute
acres."

ALEXANDER'S EAST INDIA MAGAZINE.
Those who are fond of stirring, warlike inci-
dents will be greatly entertained with Mr. Mas-
son's details of the " Fall of Khelat and the Cap-
ture of Lieutenant Loveday," which are given at
length in the current Number of this Miscellany.
For ourselves, however, we confess to have been
more pleased with an article under the quaint
title of " Something anent my duels and their
causes," for the spirit that suggested it is a
manly and honourable one, and the chief cir-
cumstances are related with unaffected sensibility.
The "Indian News," at the end of the Number
is as circumstantial as could be desired.
