a opinion with Mr

gives him much praise. " The Duke's last
Victory over Boney-part " is unworthy of Regina : it is an
old and wornout pleasantry. Several clever articles appear,
amongst which we may particularly notice an article upon
De Berryer, which does a clever man fair justice. This
notice will be read with much pleasure, and a few more arti-
cles upon living distinguished foreigners would be " thank-
fully received " by all intelligent readers.

The British Farmer's Magazine. Cannell, Liverpool ;
Ridgvvays, London.

This quarterly, devoted to agriculture, deserves the pa-
tronage of all who live by the produce of the farm and field.
The number is embellished by a well-executed lithograph of
a famous bull, called " Powyke," bred by, and the property
of, Mr. Lakin. This fine animal was shown five times, and
always successfully; was worked in a team for more than
three years ; when killed, he weighed 20 score a quarter, and
sold for £4O. There is a variety of articles on different
subjects, all interesting to the agriculturist.

The New Monthly Belle Assemblee—The Farmer's Maga-
zine—and The Sportsman. Rogetson, 24, Norfolk-

street, Strand

Place aux dames—ladies first : we will therefore take La
Belle in preference to the other two. Madame Sartorius
(late Miss Adelaide Kemble) appears in the portrait gallery.
It is a most masculine likeness. Mrs. Cornwall Baron Wil-
son, in this number of the Belle, commences a novel entitled
" The English Abroad " : it promises well. We next notice
" A Day in the Woods of Pontos," by T. M. Russell; in
which the writer relates how he met with four beautiful

•••••.-- ••••, - -
female slaves in the aforesaid wood—and how they were dis-
covered lying on their backs—and how they were watched

and guarded by men armed with long guns, who, after bully-
ing the writer to induce him to " sheer off," absquatulated
themselves—and how he met with a slave-dealer, the pos-
sessor of the aforesaid beauties. " The Baker of Victoria "
is a relation of an incident which took place in the late
Carlist war. " The Cousins" will greatly please the admi-
rers of a love story. " The Flower of Blan- kenberg"—" The
Inheritance. or the Gipsey Friend," by Miss Toulmin—
" Emily Carysfoot, a Tale of Temper"—" Money-making,
or Success not always Happiness"—.. Parisian Sketches,"
and a quantity of well-written poetry, make up a good num-

The Sportgman comes out with a new cover, commencing
the Bth volume. Two capital plates illustrate the number—
one representing a fox breaking away, and a pack in full cry ;
the other, " Getting out of a difficulty" ;—the first drawn
by Alken, and engraved by Davey ; the second drawn also
by Alken, and engraved by Hewitt. Amongst the articles
I 4 one by " Ornither," entitled " The Rise and Progress of

rowing"--(this art is often practised in rowing-matches
Pon sporting writers.) Nimrod continues his dull papers n :
when will this series end? Robin Hood's scenes inthe
Hunting Stables " offer some useful hints. An article o
en-
titled " Sporting on the Atlantic" details the particulars f
the modus operandi in shark-catching. " The Past Racing
"is a good chronicle of sporting events. The Her-
mit's " Masters of Hounds " contains some amusing anec-
dotes connected with hunting. In Major Calder Campbell's
" Rough Recollections
of Rambles Abroad and at Home,"
we find a story entitled " The Bleeding Hand."
The Farmer is embellished with a finely-executed likeness
of the late Earl of Leicester, better known as Mr. Coke of
Holkham. An interesting memoir of him, by Mr. Cuthbert
Johnson, F.R.S., gives us some particulars of his life and
history. The contents of this number are very varied, and
worthy of the farmer's notice.
