FittlNG GVN9.—A practice has lately ob. taimed in the city of youths firing guns in the streets, which is both affrighting and dangerous to passengers and others. A. few days ago several panes in the shop-windows of two tsr tdesmen in Eastgate.street-row, were shivered by the entrance of the contents a a gun fired from the opposite row. And la.st week. a Mrs. Thompson, of Long Edge, near the Lair briery, had a narrow escape of being maimed from a similar Cause. Slip- bad been cleaning a window in the upper part +of the house, and had but just left it, when a quantity of shot pierced it_ at the very place where she bad been standing. We trust this dangerous practice will be put down by the prompt interference of parents, masters, and guardians.-- ' (Chester Courant, Jan. 14.) ACCIDENT,--The carriage of Mrs. ADAmsolr, of Nottingham-street, was thrown over in Rath. bone-place yesterday afternoon. The coach, man, in passing aliray, ran the wheel of the car riage against it, and he was throWn off the box. The horses started off, ran against 4-cart, anti the carriage was overtuned. There were three Ladies inside, one of whom received a contusion on the nose, which .drew blood, but the others fortunately escaped unhurt. LITERARY NOTICE. WO.RDSWORTH'S ECCLESIASTICAL SKETCHES. We return, according to our prondse, to a far ther examination of the Ecc4esiastical Sketches. Our Readers may remelt)* that our former Observations were confined:to the first of the three parts into which the poem is divided. We now come to the second part,: which occupies the interesting . ;Loma between the consummation of the Papal dominion and the troublous reign of Charles the First. The power of the Rotel - sit Church was now undiSPuted and universal ; and the worship of all the nations of the earth who acknowledged their Saviour, was governed and modified by,her• ritual. New ceremonies and new superstitions, which had been silently a::d insidiousl,y _introduced in,,,„the 'Lapse of antecedent ages had now attained tirorsi , l i ttltirliatirity of cot.. motion. Enthusiasm was cherished -by those who fully understood their powerin continuing a silent acquiescence in abuses,,which could - not fail to strike the eyes of the most thoughtless, unless dimmed by the influence of this passion. Of these and of the events which indirectly arose out of them, there are some masterly delineations in this part of the work ;of those dreamlike issues," " that Romance or Many.Coioured life," the crusades " of Penance, With her knotted thong," and " Mortification, with her:shirt of' hair," and of the abuse of every re ligious institution. The Sonnet on " Monastic- Voluptuousness," we take leave to quote at length, convinced that its beauties, and the live liness of its description, win iusure it the admi ration of all who read it %%a more—round many a Convent's blazing fire Unhallowed threads of revelry are spun There Venus sits, disguised likes 'While Bacchus, clothed in semblance of a Friar, Pours out his choicest beverage, high and higher Sparkling, until it cannot chus2 but run Over the bowl,. whose silver lip bath won . An instant kiss of masterful desire-- To stay theprecious waste. In every brain Spreads the dominion of the sprightly juice. Through the wide world to madding fancy dear, 'Till the arch'd roof,, with resolute abusd Of its grave echoes, swells a choral strain • Whose votive burthens is— , Our , Kingdom's here!' " The dissolUtion of the monasteries forMs the subject of two beautiful sonnets, embellished with the most exquisite poetical imagery. We cannot reffain from the pleasure of giving to our readers the following lines on the departure of the innocent nod friendless Nun 'from- her 'con vent at those unrelenting mandates, which, tho Ugh justified by the most grciss 'abuse must have brought sorrow, and sin and shame to many a virtuous,and wounded heart. -'‘ The lovalr Nun * * • • • • • • Goes forth—unvailing timidly her cheek suffused with blu s h es of celestial hue While through the convent gate to open view Softly she glides. another borne to 4eek. Not Iris issuing from her cloudy shrine An Apparition more divinely bright Not more attractive to the dazzled sight on the stormy brine Those wat'ry glories, Pour'd forth, while summer suns at distanceshine, And die green vales lie hitsh'd in sober light'" We request our readers to observe the strict accuracy of the imagery, whilst a direct compari son is made between the Weeping Nunand the Goddess whose b e a u t y ar i ses from her -watery glories, an'indireet and not less bentitiful allUsiOn is made' to the dark anti sombre shrines from which they both proeeed. The similitude is per fect in all its parts, every line Will bear the test of the most rigid criticism, and appear still more beautiful from such investigation. " Masts profundopulebrior evenit Luctere—multi. morn et integrant Cum laude rictorem." We,sttall confine ourselves - to one more selee ? . tion from this part of the work, and then pro . - reed to examine the third and last part. The ;vise and vigorous Government. of Elizabeth, whose voice quelled' alike domestic tumults, and the machinations of foreign foes , is,described in the 28th S onne t. , tier silver car Altana.'le, by prudence ruled, glid e s sl ow ly on Unhurt by violence, from mounted taint Emerging pure, and seemingly mor.:., bright ! For wheresoe'er she moves the clouds arson Disperse; or—under a s Divine eturstraint Reflect some portion ut her glorious light. 'We sha II oiler nu comment on these bentolful lines, except to rem rk, that ev er y t rue P a t r i o t must perceive, In them not only' a description of the glorious reign of Elizabeth, but a resent. Mance to that of our own beloved Monarch, whose prudent administration has (liv e n e d the gathering clouds of domestic and foreign tumults no less threatening and portentous. We must of necessity he brief in our selections from the third part, both from want of space, asd r.bove all from principles of ht , riesty‘ The volum e is but a small one, and we would not willingly imitate the example of some, and tralwribe the greater part of the work of another into our own pages. --The'following description of the advantages of our Church Establishment struck us as being at once both poetically titautirul dud Pitil°3°PhicullY true. - • " As star that shines dependent upon star Is to the sky while we look up in love As to the deep fair ships Which though they tnove Seem fixed, to eyes that watch them from afar; As to the sandy desart fountains are With palm groves shaded at wide intervals, Whose fruit around the sun.buent native falls Of roving tired, or desulto r y w ar ; Such to this British isle her Christian Lanes Each linked to each for kindred sereices liar spires, her steeple towers with glittering vanes Par kenned, her chapels lurking among trees When a few villagers on tended knees Find solace which a busy world disdains." :We have heard hut one expression, and That of the greatest admiration for the sonnets on King's College Chapel, Cambridge. Indeed no height of praise can seem • by perbolica I, no admiration ex. travagant for the beauty of these exquisite •pieces of poetry. We hardly know which of the two ' to select ; the first, perhaps, is better adapted to •the taste of general readers, and with that We shall close the list of our selections. " Tax not the Royal Saint with vain expence, With ill-matched alms the Architect who planned, , • Albeit -labouring for a scanty hand Of-white robed scholars only, this immense And glorious 'work of tine intelligence ! Give Ml thou canst, high Heaven rejects the lore, • Of nicely-calculated less or more ; So deemed the man who fashioned for the sense,. These lofty pillars spread that branching roof, Self-poised, and scooped into ten thousand cells Where light and shade repose, where music dwells, Lingeringz--end wandering on as loth to die, Like thoughts whose very sweetness yiekleth proof That they were horn for immortality." To those who have read this work our selec tions from it may appear to be injudicious, and indeed, wh ere a il i s b eau tif u l i t i s no easy matter to select what is marked with superior beauties. -To those who have not read it -we-trust we have held out sufficient inducemen.wto the perusal of, it.-;.--to those at least (and to.iliose only have- we, addressed ourselves,) :whose tastes do not recoil from the very sight of a Religious subject. In these awful days of ribaldry and rebuke against our God, and--the ..Ecclesiatical establishment of ur country, we are not ignorant, We are net uo aware that the very title of this'work may -have been sufficient to deter many- from looking at it. But it is'our duty, as it has been our endeavour, to uphold as much as in us lies the goodly edifice ofourChurch----and in the"-performance of this duty; we have thought a-- notice of this- work, though by no-means immediately connected with it, least not totally irrevelant. Mr. Wordsworth, no doubt, by prostituting those talents, with which he is "so eminently gifted, to the service of blasphemy and obscenity, might have obtained celebrity with those who now load him with obloquy and rebuke. But we here have one who, scorning the aid of such worthless'abettors;and - trusting to his own.merits for poetical fame, thinks it no shame to oiler Ids talents to the service of the God who gavethem. Let, him, then, amidst -the fluctuations of all worldly good, repose in the' certainty of the ap. probation Of all good men, and of 'a better age thou tire present ; and-let him: rejoice 'in the blessed thought, that in-Att. his writings there is not one line which even.the rigorous scrutiny of a death-bed conscience- would wish to be re called or blotted out-1 Tri g - WEAT ti Sk Tuesday was the coldest duy we have had this winter. About eleven at night some snow;which for the last . two years had scarcely been seen here, began to - fall irt town and country, and, being. ot• first fine and • sharp, and driven by a north-easterly wind, was extremely annoying to the mail-coachmen corning from the south and :west.
