" 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 ;

It is a most masculine likeness. Mrs. Cornwall Baron 11-
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 Pontus," 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 Carysfuot, 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-
ber.

The Sportsman 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 ;
Getting out of a difficulty" ;—the first drawn
Alken, and engraved by Davey; the second drawn also
by Alken, and engraved by Hewitt. Amongst the articles
is one by " Ornither," entitled " The Rise and Progress of

Fowling practised in rowing matches.
Nimrod continues his dull Papers upon sporting writers

Hunting Stables" offer some useful hints. An article en-
, " Sporting on the Atlantic" details the particulars of
ne modus operandi in shark-catching. " The Past Racing
Season "
is a good chronicle of sporting events. The Her-

.dotes
" Masters of Hounds " contains some amusing an.
d otes 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
