THE FIELD 
853 
th; superior, the novices, each in their turn, kiss the feet, and embrace, 
as for the last time, their brethren, who go forth to the extremities of 
the world, resigned even to death, for the propagation of their faith. 
Of course this is one way of gradually familiarising the people with 
Popish sentiments, and requires to be watched. 
Does the Bulwark dare to charge The Field with 
desiring to “ gradually familiarise the people with popish 
s?n t intents, " and add that it " requires to bo watched I 
We are not Papist; and as to the Bulwarks charge, wc 
deny it : it is altogether false. The Bulwark may watch us 
as much as it likes. In doing so — thanks to the Protestant 
(not "Papist") clergymen and laymen who weekly favour 
U 3 with communications on all heads (except, indeed, that of 
broken heads In the street, with which the Bulwark takes a 
shorter method of “ familiarising the people, viz., by a 
wood-cut), in doing so, wo repeat, the Bulwark may -for to 
watch The Field it must borrow and read The Field (we 
don’t accuse it of buying it, since it “ professes only to treat 
of horses, dogs, &c."— the &c. does not include street-fights 
or prize-fights, nevertheless)— the Bulwark, we again say, 
may have many an opportunity of acquiring sound know- 
ledge, and of at least learning better manners, than to beg a 
question and then build upon it, aud print an attack upon a 
c mtemporary which has never crossed its narrow path in a 
religious, moral, or pecuniary way, which never know that 
such a champion publication existed even in a butter-shop, 
where, however, it cannot but soon become thoroughly, and 
indeed best, known, if its proprietors apathetically permit its 
paid writers to pen down their mere ideas aud uncharitable 
opinions unchecked by that discretion which certainly cha- 
racterises the Scottish nation as a whole, and which, more- 
over, is never absent from the brain or breast of a Scottish 
gentleman. We have simply noticed this twopenny-halfpenny 
attack on The Field to show how any of our contemporaries 
may, like ourselves, “get a little stab in the dark.” But, 
Allah Kerim ! this stab is not mortal ; aud all we have now, 
therefore, to add, is to express our congratulations to all 
concerned that the Bulwark's fire is not, like that before 
Bomarsuntl, quite an extiuguisher ; that it lias not frightened 
away any of our subscribers, whom, at this present opportu- 
nity, wo beg most heartily to thank for their continued 
support, and truthfully to assure them that the “ l’opish 
influence over the press" does not extend to TnE Field, 
“which anyone who examines may easily discover that 
we do not “ profess only to treat of horses, dogs, &c." (wo 
can bite as well as bark, and the Bulwark shall not ride over 
11 s) ; and that as companions to “ the sentimental picture of 
the departure of missionaries" in The Field, which our sub- 
scribers must have seen — (we can't, for the life of us, even 
yet perceive how we aid Popery by such an illustration) — we 
now recommend our readers to certain pictures published, 
of course in better taste, in the Bulwark, which, in its 
August number, in addition to the street-row on its wrapper, 
gives an illustration of “ Ugo Bass tortured by the Inquisi- 
tion," and “The Martyrdom of Archbishop Cranmor," all 
selected, of course, to obliterate par tv spirit aud promote 
Christian charity. Bah, Bulwark ! “ Reformation” to you ! 
Cuddle up your own monthly magazine, aud leave the Press 
alone. 
Sporting Review: September. Rogerson and Tuxford, 
Strand. 
A capital half crown’s worth. Most of the articles are 
written with the best taste and feeling. “ Home and the 
Pleasures of the Couutry," “The Shooting and Hunting 
Interregnum," aud “Summer Rambles," are well worthy ot 
perusal. “ Noctes Vcnatiece ’ must afford amusement to all 
who take an interest in horses and clogs ; while, at the same 
time, it proffers a “ wrinkle " to not only the mere tyro, but 
the more practised sportsman. “ An Evening with the Old 
Uncle" is anything but a bore. The continuation of “ Ernest 
Atherley," by Lord William Lennox, will be welcomed. 
"Craven” aud “The Druid” also furnish their clever con- 
tributions. The author of “Turf Pencillings” evidently 
writes con amove ; his heart is with the sport. As we are on 
the eve of the St. Leger, we shall give liis opinion on the 
Bubjcct : — 
What a fortnight may bring forth it is hard to say, but I am still for 
Acrobat; and if certain good Yorkshire Judges are not very far out, 
Midsummer will run uncommonly well. Charlton is engaged to ride 
her ; hut if Mr. Padwick buys her, as lie thinks of doing, Wells will, of 
course, have the mount It is a year since I have seen her, but she 
was a wonderfully racing-looking thing then. My 11 weak-sinew ” fore- 
bodings about King Toni have been but too true, and his failure, and 
Hermit’s non-entry, have sadly plucked the heart out of the contest. 
Calamus and Ivan ought to he forward ; but The Trapper seems n very 
doubtful case, as his pepperers are always ready for action whenever 
there is the slighest disposition shown to back him. Knight of St. 
George is not likely to stay, aud unless Star of Surrey is to shine 
suddenly forth again, anil Marsyas to get into his two-year-old form, 
there seems rcolly nothing else of mark to go for it, unless air. Major 
has proved a veritable sorcerer with Autocrat. It is, however, thought 
that there will be a large field, quite as bad in quality as in Newminstcr's 
year. 
The embellishments — Sir Chnrle3 Napier, drawn and 
engraved by W. II. Gibbs ; and “ The Passions of the Horse,” 
plate 4, front a painting by J. F. Herring, Hen., and engraved 
by E. Hacker — are admirable. The likeness of the gallant 
admiral, appearing at the commencement of the shooting 
season, would seem ominously indicative of some Btirring 
reports from the Baltic. 
The Art Journal. G. Virtue and Co. 
The September number contains “The Council of War at 
Courtray,” engraved by J. Godfrey, from the picture by L. 
Haghe, in the Vernon Gallery ; and “The Autumn Gift,” by 
Lance, iu the same collection, engraved by J. C. Armytagc. 
Both are admirable works of art, retaining and rendering 
almost all the beauties of the original pictures, that it is pos- 
sible to reduce to black and white. There is also a very ex- 
cellent plate by E. Brandard, a view of Windsor Castle, 
from a picture by T. B. Pyue, full of sunny light aud beauty. 
The article* are good and interesting, particularly “ The Pro- 
gress of Painting,” “ The Author of English Painters," and 
“ Pre-Raftaelism," and “ The Artist’s Festa ; Rome.” 
The English Cyclopadia . Bradbury and Evans. 
Part XVII. of this really great standard work equals in 
every respect its predecessors. 
The Newcomes. By Thackeray. Bradbury and Evans. 
This number completes the first volume, and leaves its 
readers in a delightful state of anxiety for the next. Horace 
is promoted, and as Prince de Moncontours is present at Mr. 
Barnes Newcome's wedding, which ceremony the Earl of 
Kew did not attend, being prevented by the unfortunate ter- 
mination of hi* duel with Castillounes, by whom he is brought 
d<»\vn with grim satisfaction. " It was well for this young 
Dyilor that he fell at the first shot, my dear," the exemplary 
young Frenchman remarked, “a second might have been yet 
more fatal to him ; ordinarily, I am sure of my coup, aud you 
may conceive that iu an affair so grave, it was absolutely neces- 
sary that one or other should remain on the ground.” Kew is 
nursed by Lady Walham, and the ball extracted. The Em- 
press of Kew visits her Frank, “ and in au over excess of 
anxious affection, rushing in, mistakes a bolster for her boy, 
and in so doing throws away a quantity of affection." Ethel 
is still nt Baden, aud when the Countess arrives, indignantly 
remonstrates with her upon the humiliation of her position. 
To give a quotation from this part would give us pleasure ; 
but we think extracts from Magaziuos are not always justi- 
fiable — they make sad holes in the fair proportions of a monthly 
number. 
Handley Cross. Bradbury and Evans. 
Mr. Jorrocks pursues “the tenor of his way," fortunately 
for the reader’s pleasure, auythiug but an even one. Alas ! 
poor Jorrocks, the commissioners, after a long and careful 
investigation, return a verdict of insanity, adding, that "Mr. 
1 * t It.*.... . .C hia aO'iiil'a ailtDO hit 
Tits nnii spurs. 
Jorrocks lmd been incapable of managing his affairs siuce ho 
took the Handley Cross Hounds.” Leech's drawing of “ l’igg 
in the Melon Frame" is full of quaint humour. 
Fraser's Magazine. J. W. Parker aud Son. 
Fraser is even stronger than usual this month. The 
“ Session and the Ministry" is a good article, powerfully 
written, aud, unfortunately, too true. Equally good is au 
article by " Au Experienced Junior,” " How to get on at the 
Bar.” Perhaps the most important article iu this number, 
is, however, “ The Church Among the Tall Chimneys, with 
its Church Statistics nor must wo omit to mention those 
on “The Mercantile Marine” and “The Garrisons of the 
Crimea." 
The Book of South Wales. By Charles Frederick Cliffe. 
Hamilton, Adams, aud Co. 
We draw attention to this vory excellent guide to somo 
of the most interesting localities, and most beautiful scenery 
iu the United Kingdom, including the Bristol Channel, Mon- 
mouthshire, and the Wye. It is well illustrated with maps 
aud eugraviugs. Altogether, this book does credit to the 
compiler and the publisher. 
The Epitomist. J. Riddell, King William Street, City. 
The first part of this new literary miBcollany promises well. 
The original papors are good. The geueral contents not 
only multitudinous, but highly interesting and well selected. 
When we say that there are upwards of two hundred articles 
for eleven pence, and that they are admirably written, con- 
taining fiction, reviews, progress and practice, abstracts of 
patents, agriculture, gossip, <5euine d’cBprit, fire-side reading, 
domestic, and correspondence, we certainly say much to 
recommend it. 

NEW MUSIC. 
The Princesses of England, a set of waltzes, composed by Mrs. 
Hayes. T. G. Bates and Sou, <3, Ludgate hill. 
This is a very charming and sparkling set of waltzes, 
bearing the names of our beloved Queen's daughters. They 
have much of the quality and style of Strauss ; are simply 
arranged, varied iu character, and keys. If wc are called 
upon to prefer any one, we should select that bearing the 
name of Princess Louisa, It is in two flats; the time 
admirably marked for dancing, and piquant in the extreme. 
SMOKING SONG. 
Air — "Sparkling and Bright." 
Floating away like tho fountain's spray, 
Or tho snow -white plumo of a ranidon, 
Our smoko -wreaths rlio to the starlit skies. 
With blissful fragrance laden. 
CtUfitu — Then smoke away till a golden ray 
Lights up the dawn of tho morrow, 
For a cheerful cigar like a shield will bar 
Tho blows of care and sorrow. 
Tho leaf burns bright, llko the gvms of light 
That flash In the braids of Beauty, 
It nerves each heart for tho hero’s part 
On tho battle plain of duty. 
Thon smoke away, Ac. 
In the thoughtful gloom of hi* darken'd room 
Sits the child of song and story— 
But his heart Is light, lor his pipe beams bright, 
And his dreams are all of glory. 
Then smoko away, Ac. 
By tho biasing fire sits tho grny-halrcd sire, 
And infant arms surround him, 
And he smiles on all In that quaint old hall, 
While the smoko-curls float around him. 
Then smoke away, Ac. 
In tho forests grand of our native land, 
When tho savngo conflict's ended, 
The pipe of pouec brought a sweot reloaso 
From toll and terror blended. 
Thon smoke away, Ac. 
The dark-eyed train of tho maids of Spain 
'Neath their arbor shades trip lightly, 
And a gleaming cigar, like u new-born star, 
In the clasp of thoir lips burns brightly. 
Then smoko away, Ac. 
It warms tho soul llko tho blushing bowl, 
With Its rose-red burden streaming: 
It drowns It In bliss like tho llrst warm kiss 
From the lips with love-buds teeming. 
Then smoke away till tho goidon ray 
Light* up tho dawn of tho morrow, 
For a gloaming cigar llko a shield will bar 
Tho blows of care and sorrow.

A Yankee, who oaino over to tho mother country somo time 
ago, was asked, on returning, how ho liked Great Britain. 
" Well," ho said, “ England is a very nice country, exceedingly 
fertile, well cultivated, very populous, and very wealthy ; 
but," continued tho Yankee, " I never liked to take a morning 
walk after breakfast, because the country is so small that I 
was always afraid of walking off the edge."
