" The New Sporting Magazine is the best of its class we
remember to have seen. There is a lest for all Sports by
Land, Air, and Water, manifested In these pager. which
eren uninitiated readers will enjoy; besides that, the Editors,
timing at the picturesque and descriptive, are also caterers
of the doings far and near, of the Bportintr World. The
Engravings are good, and the whole publication nines
spirit and taste."—Atlas, May S.
" We have just seen the First Number of the New Sport-
ing M ,gasine, and can confidently state that It more than
sustains the promises held forth in the Prospectus. Many
of the Articles are from the pens of Writers well known In
the Sporting World, and if it continues to be conducted with
the same spirit and ability as are displayed in the present
number, it can hardly fail of success. The embellishments
by lAndseer, and others, are really beautiful."—Age, May S.

LOUIS.PATIAIPPR—CFIARLES X.—.
TA I.LRYRAND.
Some years have glided over my head since I
have been" under Louis-Philippe's roof; but, as
those who have been admitted into his society of II
late assure me that time has wrought no change in
him, you may accept former reminiscences as
drawn to the present life. He is of full stature,
strongly built, and of portly appearance, though
by no means what would be termed corpulent. His
hair is dark and luxuriant; his visage round of
form, and brownish of tint : his features have
more of the southern cast about them than those of
any other member of his family. and, th
sharply turned, are pleasing in expreision: he
dark eyes, and their look is lively and penetrating :'
his smile is rendered still more winning from
its betokening manifestly the possession of a firm
and cheerful temper of mind. The tout ensemble
of the outward man (in which I met not omit to.
notice the manner of wearing hair) conveys a com-
plete idea of the soldier, whose earlier youth has
been passed under arms ; but there is a military
freedom of deportment about him, which is per-
fectly in harmony with the dignity of his station.
His language is full of brevity and firmness. lie
has always been forward in evincing his esteem for
the more distinguished of all parties, among his
fellow-countrymen. He has not only much expe-
rienced in military affairs (having derived a means of
livelihood from active service for no inconsiderable
time) but is well versed in the arts of peace ; and
he left every other of the Bourbon family far be-
hind in promoting science and industry on his na-
tive soil after the restoration. As that of one of
the most affluent princes in. Europe. the court of
the Duke of Orleans was kept up with becoming
splendour and dignity, yet it was always distin-
guished by a system of UOUlaUld regularity in its
arrangements. I have frequently formed part of
a throng, to which every individual, down to a cer-
tain sphere in life was freely admitted. Whether
as placed at the head of his domestic affairs, or as
superintending the excellent education which hit
children have enjoyed, Maria Amelia of Naples,.
his consort, has eleVays stood distinguished for her
indefatigable attention aqd discerning judgesdiatt
indeed, she has been quite as much the favon4Ml
with every one,'frons the obliging cbeerfulniiiiel
her manners, as Louis-Philippe has been, front bile'
manly and condescending deportment.* * •
I well remember the forenoon of the 20th of
March, 1816. A rumour of the king's departure
the preceding night had collected an immense seep
course in the court and gardens of the Tuilleries„,
as well as on the Piece du Carousel. I was at that
time in that part of the palace which ie called the
" Ptrilion de Flora ;" and was standing in the
saloon on the ground-loor, ' amidst a throng of
courtiers. Monsieur (now the ix- king; Charlie,
the Tenth) was one of the number. To all outward
appearance, he seemed quite at his ewe, and was
conversing with several present, who were kissing
his bands and weeping over them, whilst he wee
chatting with all that lightsomeness of heart which
is peculiar to him. He did not appear to pay the
least attention to the confusion and uproar which
were going forward out of doors. On a sudden our
ears were assailed by hundreds of voices, crying
out " Orleans I long live Orleans !" and this in so
audible a tone, that Monsieur, (though be did not
break off the conversation,) slowly, and; as it were,
undisguisedly turned his bead towards the spot frog;
which the cry proceeded. Immediately afterwards we
beard the duke repeatedly exclaiming, in his ener-
getic manner, " Not Orleans, but the King, long
live the King ;" Ind, in another five minutes, the
duke entered the saloon, went up to the prince,
made a low obeisance to him, and addressed him; ,
in an under tone of voice. Monsieur replied, in
an equally low accent, but with a melancholy sort
of smile, though with his usual grace and dignity.
Whilst Charles continued to receive the condo-
lences of those near to him, Louis Philippe wee
taking leave of several of the officers present; his
voice was firm, and his manners cheerful ; some be'
shook hands with, and others he embraced.
There has seldom been a man whale exterior
has carried about it so little of the ambitious cour-
tier as Talleyrand's ; and I know scarcely another,
individual whose extraordinary intellectual endow.
ments are associated with so Unfavourable an im-
pression as accompanies this statesman's cast of
features ; he is notoriously mishapen, and besides
this, lame of one font; his countenance indicates
deep design, and gives the idea of sinister views
I rather than of the nobler speculations ofthe states-
man—and this, even on those occasions *here his
whole soul is at work upon topics *Lich are of
momentous interest to hi ot. His manners Are far
' from elegant, and the tone of his "voice is not
agreeable. He has a habit, when he is in con-
versation, of kneeling upon a chair, and rocking
himself in that rosture. It war a most extraordinary
' scene to see this peculiar personage, in his tn-
courtier-like attire, wandering about in the saloon's
of Vienna in the year 181'4. among the most dis-
! tinguished diplomatists of Europe; and asiociating
with men, many of whom weth not only eminent
for rank and talent, but admi-ed for , their 'personal
endowments and gorgccus frspping4; yet,* be So

human affairs! it were a matter of supererogation
to add, that the conversation of aril% a man as
Talleyrand is any thing but inane ; in social inter-
course, it possesses even much of the attractive.

and Asians, from the sharpness of their stings.
