OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
" With Mr. Mullen all the decoration is superfluous; this
poem is strong enough to go abroad without any helps of that
sort. The sweet Christian morality of this poem is no less
praiseworthy th m its rustic beauty, and it is pleasant to be
able to add conscientiously, that the writer evinces not only
the sincere feeling but the freshness and vigour of an original
poet. It possesses the close fidelity of Crabbe, with a some-
what keener sense of pictorial humour."—Atlas. Feb. 12.
" A very pleasing and truly English poem. Farm-yard and
field, woodside, rivulet, green lane, and meadows, whose garni-
ture is the golden buttercup, form the scenic adjuncts, and a
true piety is suffused over character and incident."—Court
Journal, Dec. 25th.
" The Cottager's Sabbath' is a cleverly written poem, in
style much like Crabbe, the same minute descriptive power and

aetthtehe Queen and her
Some sensation has been created in Madrid by a re-
port that the Queen • and her sister, whilst walking in the
gardens of the Retiro, had been fired at, but the Corresponsal
gives the following explanation of the affair :._lt appears that
a respectable tradesman of Madrid was leaving the capital, on a
shooting excursion, with his musket of the National Guard,
which was loaded with ball ; and, as it had been loaded for several
days, he fired it in the air, in order that he might clean it,
government is on
and put it in order before he began his sport. The ball passed

the qui vine, in consequence of the rumours of an intended
attempt at counter revolution, and that measures of a strong
nature, out of the regular provisions of the laws, are expected
ullthn near
to be adopted.—A letter from Algeciras states that at Tarifa the
most rigid surveillance continued to, be exercised.
The High Shrill, E. B. Lonsade, has appointed as
divine of the Established Church as chaplain. How much
superior to the Christian practice is this liberality of the
Hebrew gentleman ! He provides a chaplain of the Judges'
religion to attend on their devotions. Had a Jew been Judge
and a Christian High-Sheriff, we doubt whether we should not
have seen the Hebrew compelled to receive the priest of the
Christian.— Western Times.
