SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET JULY MEETlNG—Tutintr.
BULL= IPAILTSCULAWL
The Course today was very well attended, and presented a much
greater skew of rank and keneral company than has been seen for
some years past at a July Meeting.
His Royal Highness the Duke of York was again present. and
immediately on the conclusion of the Races returned to the King's
Palace, where he dined.
There were she present—The Dukes of Grafton Rutland, and
Portland ; Marquisses of Exeter and Tieldield ; Grafton,
Lowther,
Jertey, Orford, Sefton, G. 13entinck, F. Readmit, Kensington,
G. Cavendish, Vont= Dunvrlch, R. Fitzroy, F. Fitzroy, Sic.
De Roos, itous, Irby, Edwards Anson, Sic. Colo-
nels Udny, Synge, Russell, Si.. Sir J. Shelley, ke. Ste.
On the conclusion of the running, and previous to dinner, a ring
was, as usual, formed on the Heath, and some henry betting took
place on the St. Leger, Derby, and Oaks. For the first-mentioned
Stakes, the only material alteration is the rapid decline of Homer,
who is going to the outside.
For the Fifty Pounds, the horses started well together, and kept
so till nearly the turn of the lands,whenAllne and Spermaceti got in
front, and made strong running, Cataline and Mr. Wyndham's
lying close at their heels. The latter then got in front, and high
odds were offered that he won ; but within a short distance of home
Cataline got in front, and won in fine style by nearly a length—
rode by James Robinson. It was a very One rare.

WIDNISDAY, JULY 13.
The July Meeting has terminated this day, after three very fine
days span; having been more numerously attended by the Gran-
dees of the Turf than for some years. His Royal Highness was
again on the Course, and left immediately on the conclusion of the

ther, Jersey, Sefton, Orford, Vauban, Dundtich, J. Fitzroy,

The Novice; or, Man of Integrity : from the French
of 1.. B Picard. 3 vols.-I2rno. London, 1825.
It is a common fault alleged against moral writers
tl:at they ate prosing and dull, and theretore not very
likely to engage the attention of those nho most need
their instruction; but in this novel a sound moral is in-
culcated in an agreeable and even lively manner.
Many of the scenes and situations are highly dramatic ;
and in these the author—as was to be expected from
' one who has written so much and so successfully for the
stage—is more successful than in his general narrative.
The contrast between the hero, George Dercy, a young
man of uncotnpromiting iptegrity, and his timeserving'
and ambitious relations and friends, affords a variety of
riquant, and occasionally very bitter satire. In this, as
veil as in M. Picard's former novels, there is much in-
formation relative to the state of parties and of society
in France at the present day ; and there is an amusing
detail of the manner of conducting elections, and of the
intrigues of both Liberals and Ultras. The chief objec•
tion seems to be that the hero himself is rather too
much a model of a man as he should be, than a pp:-
trait of man as he is ; and there is a simplicity and mei-
desty in his character for which we presume the author
did nor find many originals in the French capital. Iu
this re.pect, however, M. Picard has only indulged in
the license adopted from time immemorial by all no-
velists, of making their here a matchless piece of hu-
manity ; and although Fortune absolutely thrusts het
fay .urs upon Dercy, and seems determined to raise him
to weal'h and to posts of the highest distinction, we
ultimately leave him in comparative obscurity. In a
production of this class, where to pourtray the manners
of the age is mote particularly the writer's object, the
story will be but of minor imrottance, yet even this is
not altogether deficient in interest ; although M. Picard
Las not bestowed so much attention upon this as on the
characters and individual scenes. But his piquant sa-
tire amply atones for that want of originality in the
ptincipal incidents, which, in other hands, might have
beets attended with insipidity and dulness.
