SPORTING MAGAZINE.

There is a capital engraving, executed in his
best style, by Newton Fielding, of " grouse" in
this number, which is remarkable for the beauty
of its back-ground bit of landscape. As f',)r the
Sporting Intelligence, it is a cleverly condensed
abstract of all the most recent news of the past
month. The original articles are fewer in num-
ber than usual, and contain little or nothing that
is quoteable.

MUSICAL CYCLORiEDIA. APPROVED
SONGS, MUSIC, &c.
We class these two periodicals lovingly toge-
ther, for both are of kindred character. There
are many promising specimens of song-writing
to be found in both of them ; and the music—
we speak with all becoming humility, as our
knowledge of this science is, like the range of
Lord Londonderry's eloquence, somewhat li-
mited—appears, from the hasty glance we have
been enabled to cast over it, to be of a simple
and agreeable character.

The fall in the barometer between Friday
noon and SAturd,y morning was the most rapid rand
considerable that has been witnessed for a great length of
time.

CHEAP LITERATURE.--There is now .a
publication called the " Halfpenny Library,"the numbers
of which are hawked about the streets for a farthing.
THE DECLINE OF LITERATURE IN ENG-
LAND.-The state of the English publishing world at thi
moment is somewhat startling, no time within our re-
collection at all approaches it. If we bad not fortunately
opened for ourselves an inexhaustible resource in foreign
literature, our paper would have been a blank, or our
readers wearied with everlasting quotations from book;
that must by this time have passed through half the cir-
culating libraries and reading rooms in the kingdom.--

SHOT EXTRAORDINARY.—On Tuesday
lacy, W. Tingeombe, Esq , killed, at two shots, one law:.
dred and eleven Sanderlings, in the parish of Topsham.
This is considered by the crack sportsmen of the neigh..
tpmrhood as a wonderful shot, for the number brought
down. Mr. T. fired from a double-barrelled gun, and
discharged the contents of the second barrel immediately
after the first.—Sherborne Journal.

THEATRICAL CHIT CHAT.--INIACREADY
has concluded an engagement with Mr. BtneN for next
season. STANSBURY, of Covent-garden, is engaged as
director of music in Dublin. Armor? is about to bring
out a new farce at his own theatre, the Victoria. CAL-
CTAFT. has engaged WALLACK, Miss HUDDART, and
TURNER. MISS INVERARITY, IL PHILLIPS, and WIL-
SON, have met with great success at the Cork Theatre
during the Aasizoa. The Court Journal says that
song writer has forwarded six new pieces to the Ad Ipbi
management for twenty pounds ! (We dare say their full
value.)

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SATUR-
DAL-The sales during the past week amount to 15,290
hags, and the imports to 5,669 ; the market has remained
with liitle or no change since our last, either in Ameri-
can or Bind descriptions. The inquiry has been less
spirited, but holders generally retain the same confidence
is before, and prices are fully supported, except for the
inferior qualities of Alabama cotton, which are rather
lower ; 4,500 American, 150 Pernams, 550 111aranhains,
and 200 Surats have been taken on speculation. To day
the market has been quiet. Not more than 1,200 bales
have been sold, and, though holders are firm, prices are
with difficulty maint,ined.

RUSSIAN POLICY IN LITERATURE.--The
cultivation in Oriental literature in Russia is rapidly al-
vancing, and tin Government affords every encouragement
to its extension. At the late public ex imination of the
classes of the Oriental Institute, at St. Petersburg, the
Vice-Chancellor, Count Nesselrode was so delighted with
the progress of the students that he made a special re-
port on the subject to the Emperor. In consequence,
Professors Charmony and D mange have been made
Knights of the Order of %Vladimir, of the third class, and
Mizra Djafar, a Tartar from the Caucasian provinces, who
assists M. Charmony in teaching Per-ian, has received
the Cross of St. Anne, of the semil class. The four
pupils who most distinguished themselves were eich pre-
,eired with a diamond ring. These are not the only
symptoms of Rus-ia's directing her views to the supre-
macy of central Asia.—Athenccum.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.--A few days
ago, as a young man, named Archibald Macmillin, from
Sunart, Arqleshire, was engaged in blasting a piece of
rock at Fasnakyle, on the Chisholm's Pass, while in the
lact of stemming the charge, the friction of the needle
igniting the powder caused an explosion, and he was
blown into the air to a considerable height. So violent
was the explosion that the bolt in his hand and one of his
shoes were carried a distance of about 80 yards. 'Lae un-
fortunate youth was immediately conveyed to the Aber-
deen infirmary, when it was found that his leg was free-
cured, his arm broken, and his skull laid bare. He
lingered, however, till Saturday, when he expired...—.

THE RELAXATION OF A GREAT MAN.—
Some years since I was visiting the retreat of one of cur
country's poets, anti my guide, taking me into his morn-
ing room, bade me remark how still it was, and how
remote from all noise or intrusion. It was separated from
the rest of the house. Trees of venerable size over-
shadowed the green turf upon the which the casemen
opened ; but throutb their interstices you caught glimpses
of the lake that flowed below; and there you saw the
squirrel half tamed, beneath the nearest tree; and aloft,
with its peculiar rushingness of wing, you heard the flight cf
the scarce-seen ring-dove. There was quiet around ;
but not the quiet of dullness—nut ti,e quiet of a ,'sad
,
will, and the dreary dinginess of a back-yard. " A. 11:
