night her Royal Highness entertained a select number with a
Concert, at her residence, Townley HOuse. Signor and Signora
Pagliardini attended front Sackett's Marine Library, and were
successful in pleasing. There are good houses still to let, but
the town may generally be said to be full. Our worthy patrol),
Sir William Curtis, •is returned in his yacht from the Isle of
Wight, with his health much amended, and we hope he may live

On Friday Sir Cirants FLOWER gave a grand drjruneht
his seta, at AIL
ill-hill, near Enfield. The exnectedentertatnraent
had been talked of for tt whole month,
and hail excited much
expectation in the city. At four o'clock the company had col-
lected on the lawn, where several marquees and tents were
pitched. Cold roast and boiled beet, cold tongues and ham,
were in abundance. The wines were Port, Sherry, and Ma-
deira, but we believe many of the company who knew the
hospitable disposition of Sir Charles, abandoned the punctilio
which they might have observed towards others, for before
five o'clock the stock of wine absolutely failed • not a drop was
to be had. Dancing then commenced on the lawn, but the
grass was a link: damp. Iltiwever, 'these disappointments
were not very. severely felt, for the air was tilled with sweet
sounds, and pro.aenading was better calculated for the sea-
son than the poetry of motion. rn the evening in the gar-
dens there were upwards of two hundred and eighty per-
sons present, and among them we observed Lord LitsKINE
• and Lord FIFE, and Lady WENT straTrt. The com.
'puny began to depart before nine o'clock, and it WAS re-
marked,
that the air was so keen and wholesome, that 1
it not only bestowed appetites on the party while at
Mill-hill, but on their return from the hospitable spot.
On Monday last, their Graces the Duke and Duchess of
Northumberland set out from Alnwicit Castle, on a visit to
Edinburgh.

On Tuesday last, a splendid silver vase, value
101) ,guineas, was presented 10 George. It obin*oth Rauh late
Collector of the Custonis at Sunderland, by the merchants and
ship-owners of that port. On one side. of this tribute of regard,
which is richly chased, is represented a view of the harbour of
Sunderland, with the piers, &c. 4 emblems of commerce and
navigation occupy the foreground ; and the whole 'is sur-
mounted by the ancient arms of the pert. On the reverse, the
atriettrial bearings of Mr. Robinson are displayed, and under.;
neath is the following inscription :

The vase was resented to Mr. Robinson, by a committee
of
the Merchants, &c., who were afterwards entertained by him at

A SABBATH among 'llw MOUNTAINS

[From ass MO iPter.l Extracts from a Critique in the Sabbath School Magazine on
" A Sabbath Among the illountanas;" b'Y Ur. JAMES GRAY',
Principal of the Belfast Academy.
The subject of a Scottish Sabbath is fitted
'to awaken the highest sentiment of poetry, or the admira-
tion of a philanthropic heart, or the overflowing gratitude
of the said in love and' adoration of him who established
it.—The poet has • often made it the subject of his song—
the philanthropist has dwelt upon it, as upon one of
those bright spot% in the circle of human existence, enough
to eradicate the whole, and cover as with a mantle, those
dark shades of human suffering at which the soul sickens__
and the' believer in Jesus hails it as the day of high in.
tercouse with the celestial world. There is no want of Va.-
riety, or of interest connected with it. And the poem before
us sheWs, that the ground which had been previously occupied
by. Mosts Browne, or Graham, or Struthers, had still left suf-
ficient space for the genius of one not inferior to either, to give
us a very beautiful and a very descriptive outline of a " Sidi-
bath among the Altiuntains."
We shall give a few short specimens. The Spot where the
scene is laid is thus described :
There is an Isla, by balmy breezes blest;
A green gem in the ocean of the west,
Where first the spring unfolds the mountain flower, And summer lingers longest in the bower.
Bright ocean-lakes the favoured shores surround,
Waving in sun-light like a zone unbound,
Stretching afar among romantic hills,
Till to the charmed eye they seem like rills,
Groves ofunsuilied verthire fringe the land,
Whose branches cast their shadows' in the strand,
Or •are within the liquid mirror seen,
In forms more lovely and a softer green. •
Smooth as the summer sea the
,valley lies,
The little hills like summer billows rise,
Succeeding still in gentle interchange,
Amid the garden, or the woodland range;
Till nature seems the work of matchless art,
And art, like nature, steals upon the heart:
Among the various objects described at the house of worsh`p
we cannot help giving the following to our readers:_,.
A gentle one was seen in mournful mood,.
In bitter hour of early widowhood.
Her eye in tears, her cheek of faded hue
Shone like the pale rose in the morning dew.
ner slender form was symmetry and grace,
And more of heaven than earth was in her face.
By beauty modelled, she was wrecked by care,
By sorrow wasted, yet surpassing fair.
So holy was the place, that by a breath,
she feared she might disturb the houSe of death.
Of all unconscious save the present ill,
She was so sad, so silent, and so still,
That in the light which in her features heam'd,
She had a monumental mourner seemed,
Save for a boson, struggling with a sigh,
And the mute language of a humid eye,
Bent on a grave its she would enter there,
Or upward cast as she would wing the air.
'We would fain give the whole descriptionof that scene very
dear to our hearts, and for the promotion of which our little
monthly publication is intended—the meeting of the Sabbath
School. 13ut it is too long for our short bounds. We shall
give the dosing scene of one of its nurslings, in whose history,
as here beautifully sketched, we cannot help recognizing a
strong resemblance to our old friend the Dairyman's Daughter.
The author takes no merit in the conception ; he only gives in
poetry what was delivered in prose to the children of the Sabbath
School, by one of the strangers (formerly mentioned) who may,
:Ada!, be the very'author of the Dairyman's Daughter.
Now wail the fated hour of trial past,
Death, like a rescuing angel, came at last,
Of gentle aspett and without a frown,
No terror in his shaft hoe in his drown.
Before she died, she saw her heart's desire—
Iler mother like a brand plucked from the fire,
To plume her pinion, faithful to his care,
The man who heavenward turned his steps was there ;
Never was heard such eloquence of tongue,
In one so feeble and in one so young ;
ln wonder did he listen to her spceeh,
Now was it his to learn and hers to teach.
Of leaving life she spoke without a tear—
Of consolation to the Christian dear—
Of sin through righteousness of Christ forgiven—.
And her last fainting whispers were in heaven—
To die she seemed not, but to fall asleep.
Resigned to gentle slumbers, sweet and deep ;
And by her pates only was it known,
That to the land of spirits she had gone.
Still her smile tied not, still her face was fair,
And though life's sun was set, its light was there.
So still, so beautiful in death she beamed, • .
So uncorporeal, and so shadowy seemed,
. As if a guardian minister of grace
Had borne her hence; and had assuimed her place.
