THE METROPOLITAN.

We quoted on Saturday an extract from the
article which heads this number, entitled " Ire-
land in 1832," and shall therefore here content
ourselves with saying that its arguments are very
convincing, and forcibly put, especially as regards
the necessity for bringing the tithe question to a
final settlement. " Chit-chat" is a passable

" Effects of the Reform Bill " is sensible,
deals too much in generalities. " Election'

fixed principles, are very well hit off'. " '

sidering that it tells us nothing that we did
know before. " French Politics" are admiral
we subjoin a sketch of Dupin :

He is a singuldr character, Dupla, an ourang-outang i°
pearance, and somewhat in charicter. He is lively!
lent..d, capricious, unprincipled—that is, oriprinetl
more from want of thought and steadiness, than
interest or calculation. A blusterer, and yet timid;
wis almost the only arrant coward in Paris during
great days of July, answering the Journalists who et
period asked his advice as deputy, Je ne suis plia
pule, lam no longer a deputy.' Then lie is vain,
susceptible to such a degree, tli it it is impossible for
to tolerate a colleague of talent or influence in the

And the same feeling makes him repudiate Thiers,
thrust upon him by the doctrinaires, and whom he '
tainly should accept, as a man whose rigidity of pries
would never be in any man's way, whilst his talents
be always serviceable. In short, I think Dupin so 01
of the ape, that he must realize that famed old prat
touching the French, uttered by one of their greil
Statesmen.

" Dupin enters on the express condition of not In-4

Where Dupin will be useful, will be as Minister of

THE SPORTING MAGAZINE.

The numbers for this and the past 00
must be of interest to many not professed spot'
men, for how few, even most decided cockfiel
are there who do not contrive "some holy'
other" to frighten a few birds, and blaze avol,
pound or two of powder, in the beginniesll

" Sporting Magazine" then, and at any rate
will pick up technicalities enough to tell t,
stories without any very glaring slip, even if 1;
should not benefit by any of the more recoil
discussions upon the pedigree of horses, breetiets
dogs, &c. &c. But, seriously, the article 10
" Canine Lucubrations," in this number,
well worth the reading of all young sporto;
who are about to purchase and keep dogs, sl
contains matters which even old stagers will i;
to read. The " Extracts from an Old Jour%

amusing enough. Take the following r;

This is, upon the whole, a dull number, cell
making every allowance for the want of illtee
which must attach to many of its articles in 0‘
