PRIZE BRILLIANTS. Appended is the gime of the Winter Tournament of the City of London Che <s Club to which the brilliancy prize was awarded.

The .special prize for the best Rice Gambit played during the recent meeting of the New York State Chess Association has been awarded to Lipschutl. The full score of the game follows:—

A POPB ON CHESS. ' "This whole world is nearly like a chessboard, on* petit of which is white, the other black, be-' came of tin double state of life and death, grace and sin. The familie of thin chessboard are like the men. of this world ;tliey all come out of one bag, and are'placed In different situations in this world, and bate different appellations, (hie is I called'king, another queen, .the third .rook, the fourth knubt, the fifth alphin, the sixth pawn, The condition of the game is that one takes the other; and when the 1 game is finished, as they all came out of one bag, they, are put into the same place together. , Neither is there any difference between .the king arid '.poor, pawn; and .often happens that' when, one familia is thus put 'by to rest in its bag; the king lies at the bottom,'just as the great dud themselves in their transit from this world to hell. In this game the king goes ami takes in all the circumjacent place.' in a direct' line-a sigh'that the king takes ' everything justly, and that ne.must never omit doing justice to all uprightly; for, in whatever manner a king acts, it is reputed just,, anil'what pluses, the sovereign lias the vigour of. law.' The queen, whom we call Fen, goes and takes in an oblique line, because women, tint .in avaricious breed (gam), whatever they take beyond,their, merit and grace is rapine and injustice. The rook is a judge, who perambulates the whole land in A straight line, and should 'not take anything in an oblique manner by bribery: and corruption, nor spare anyone. Thus they Verify the saying of Amos. 'Ye' hive turned judgment into Sail, and the fruit, of .righteousness into hemlock.' iut the knight,' in takim, goes one pjint directly, and' then | takes, an oblique, circuit, .in sign that kuights'and'lords of the land may justly take the renWdue to them,' and their just fines from those whit have forfeited them) according to the exigence of the case. Their third point, being obliquely, applies to them so far as they extort subsidies and unjust exactions from'their subjects!,' The poor Kim always goes directly forward In his Simplicity; tiwhenewrlie will take, ilo«s so obliquely. Thus man, whilst he.remflins,satisfied with liis, poverty, lives in a'direct tine;, bnt when he craves temporal honours, .means of lies,' perjuries, ' favours, and adulation, he goes'obliquely till he reaches the superior degree of .the chessboard of thin world; then' the pawn changes to'An, and is elevated to the nnk of the point he reaches, just like poverty promoted 'to i rank; .fortune, and i consequential insolence. The alpbins are the various prelates of the church-pope, archbishop, and their subordinate blshops-who'rise'td their sees not so much by divine inspiration as by royal power, interest, entreaties, and revly money.' The alphins move and take obliquely three points, for almost every.prelate's mind ill perverted by lo»e, hatred, or bribery, riot to reprehend the'guilty, or bark against the vicious, but rather to absolve them of their sins; so that those who should have extirpated vice are,, in consequence of IJieir own covetousness, become'promoters of'vice and advocates of the devil. ';I"«!«S "•'• '■ .I"-' 'i •■..• ■:■■•■■■■ " In this game the devil says check whennit he insults ana.ttrlkee one with his dart of sin; and if he that is struck cannot immediately deliver himself, the devil, resuming the move, »ays to him rule, carrying liis tool along with' him to prison, from which neither love nor money can deliver him, for from hell .'there is no redemption. Aid, as huntsmen have various, hounds for taking various beasts, so the devil and the world have different vices, which differently entangle mankind; for all that is in this world is either lust of the flesh, Inst of thp,eyes,,pr.proud livlng."-By Pope Innocent, taken from Mr, Twist'; work and reprinted by the Scots Magatineud Northern Figaro. is ,<■.<* i .'■The is authority for the information that'there are nine chess clubs in Prussia, 681 in the British Empire. 200 in Qarmany.lU in the UritMtftates,and3oiß Austria. v '-: ">.~ .
