NEW BALLAD Music —atill continues to cam'
the public ear, and, at welcome intervals, to charm
the public taste—through the indefatigable agencY
of the Messrs. Cocks and Company, of New Bur-
lington-street. Charles Mackay's National Song,
" There's a Land, a Dear Land"—words and music
both his own—we can never tire of—coming home
to our hearts, as it does, with the penetrating
warmth of the patriotic ardour inspiring its every
note and word. How directly it appeals to all our
nobler sentiments of civism, the words of the song,

Though firm as the earth
Are as wide as the sea;
Where the primroses bloom,

West Land, Best Land,
Thy Land, My Land,
Glory be with her and peace evermore.

Herr Meyer Lutz has composed expressly for Miss
Louisa Pyne (and it is high praise to add that the
.
ballad is worthy of interpretation by that gifted
artiste) a song entitled " A Sigh went Floating on_
the Breeze." Besides which, the inexhaustible Fran!
Abt has given us a song about " Bonnie Katie" ha
may rank with his best.
