Kitchen Marquises.-•-London Weekly Review.

• (From the Annuls of Sporting.)
" Winter advances from yon treeless hill,
Its 'stern and withered front but wanly lit
By- the far sun's cold ray'—whilst, sharp and shrill,
His wrath is heard in many a gusty fit.
Verdure yields to him, and the glassy wave,
Fanned by Isis chilly pinions, stops its flow,
And, at his touch, becomes a chained slave :
Yet, nor his band that sears, his winds that blow, •
Loos'd by old Eolus from out his cave,
Arrest our progress—ours, the hunters' hand,
True to our sports, as to our native land."
It is a' fortunate circumstance in the vocation of the
sportsman that the most dull and dreary season of the year
is converted, by him, into a period of superlative delight;
and thus, while the features of the worldly minded assume
a more than usually gloomy appearance, the eyes of the
fox-hunter sparkle with delight at the sound of the cheer-
ing h'iloo ! the tally ho ! the break away ! the madden-
ing .-east! 'the general crash, and go away! It often hap-
pens that the month of December furnishes some of the
very Lest scenting days throughout the season, and conse-
quently, good sport with fex hounds may be confidently
anticipated, unless prevented by the severity of frost. A
master of fox-hounds, and a very good jqdge .af the.t' mat-
ters, not long ago observed to the writer that he thought
October was one of the best months in the season fOr scent,
and I have no doubt the observation, founded on experi-
ence, was strictly correct; but, as October can only be re-
garded as a. cub-hunting month, and as the weather,
though it may suit hounds, is not well calculated for horses,
December must be preferable on the whole. On a warm
day in this month, fox-hounds will generally run breast
high ; and we are of opinion the best runs we ever wit-
nessed occurred in December. Up to' this time, but it is
a young day yet, foxes, generally speaking, have been fount
plentiful : we saw a few favourite covers in one of the
first hunts in England drawn blank, it is true ; but this
was no-proof of scarcity, as was very clearly proved, front
finding several brace of foies at adjacent and perhaps• less
likely places. 'A fox is a shy animal and easily disturbed,
by shooters, in beating covers; and, therefore, November,
the zenith of the woodcock and pheasant shooting season, is
a period when they are very likely
.to be annoyed by the
knights of the trigger. . . .

The same observations which have been mails in the
preceding paragraph respecting scent, are applicable to har-
riers as well as fox-hounds ; and, therefore, on the subject
of hthiting, little further'need here be said. One observa-
tion more, and we have done :—We never recollect the
leaps (or jumps, in more fashionable phraseology) so blind
as at the commencement of the present hunting season,
owing, unquestionably, to the uncommon mildneis of the
weather, which continues also, till a much later period
that► usual.

The fowling-piece will remain in active operation, at
least for the early part of this month—we say the early
part, as grouse-shooting expires on the 10th ; but, indeed,
as far as relates to these birds, they are not approachable
after the middle of September, unless in places where they
are very plentiful and have been little disturbed. Of all
the kinds of winged game, none is so shy as grouse ; at the
same time, of all the kinds of shooting, none is to be com-
pared with the pursuit of these birds.
At this period of the season partridges will take good
care of themselves, and we never recollect noticing more.
Pheasants will now be slaughtered by hundreds, by the

fashionable Lanus method, which for the credit of true
sport, we sincerely wish were altogether abandoned. It
is a system borrowed from the Continent, and like a good
many other fashionable follies got from•the same source, is
by no means consistent with true English feeling.
Woodocks have been, and will continue to he, tolerably
plentiful. Snipes have been scarce,—at least as far as our
own observation will enable us to form an opinion.
Wild-foivl will present themselves during this month,
particularly if the weather happens to be severe; and those
' who are partial to this chilling diversion, we advice to visit
Lion-hall, Essex, where they may be skilfully initiated into
whatever relates to "shoving punts up to wigeon," the
"rrirple chase," and all the rest of the muddy work.
Coursing, every season increasing in popularity, and
now supported by numbers of the most celebrated sports-
men of the day, will, this month, be greatly followed, De-
cember and ,January being decidedly the best in the year
for trying the metal and speed of the long dogs. Ashdown,
Swaffham, and some other meetings of considerable con-
sequence, have taken place ; others will soon follow. Our
present number contains ample reports from the fields al-
ready beaten, as our next will of those of others not as
yet tried.

Captain, RICHARD DICKENSON, mentioned
in the Brighton Paper last week, as a sojourner in that
town shortly before be received the appointment of Com-
mander to the Genoa, previously resided some time in
Newcastle. He w,,a highly respected by all who knew
him, for his pleasing manners and gentlemanly demeanour.
We feel sincere pleasure in recording his-good fortune, not
only in the certainty of his being speedily raised to the
rank of Post Captain (ha having fought the Genoa with
great skill and bravery. after Captain BATOURST was
killed), but. for the honour conferred upon hint of Com-
panion of the Bath., Captain DicKENsoN, we believe,
was one of the first officers appointed under the new re-
gulations of the Loan HIGH ADMIRAL, that every 74, a%
well as vessels of a Superior class, should have a Com-
mander, or second Captain, on whom should devolve the
charge of the ship, in ease of accident to the Captain._
