Critical Notice of the Preaa-

Critical Notice of the Press.
Its fresh leaves, its clear type, its entertaining
varity, its severe but just criticisms upon the follies
of the times, its elegantly written and instructive
articles, and its able correspondence, all combine to
make it the model newspaper of our country, and
one that every family must prize. Its condensed
weekly summary of foreign and domestic inteHi-
geRce is altogether superior TO that contained in
any other journal. Being published, too, in a form
for preservation and binding, if taken care of as it
deserves to be, it will be found in future years as
welcome a companion for the family and Preside as
the day on which it was first persued.-N. Y.

We would not so often call attension to HARPER's
WEEKLY if we were not well satisfied that it is the
best famiIg Paper IN the United States, aud for that
reason, and that alone, we desire to see it under
mine and root out a certain kind of literature too
prevalent, which blunts the morals Of its readers,
vitiates their taste for sensible reading, and is al
ready bad in its efects.-Neto London Adrertiser.
Wherever we go-in ~rail-cars and steamboats,
we find it seized with eagerness, because fits spir-
tied sketches of passing events. We all like to
look at the faces of men we have read of, and at
ships and forts that have figured in the bloody
scenes of war. Of all such men and places. and
events, this paper furnishes the best illustrations.
Our future historians will enrich themselves out Of
HARPER's WEEKLEY long after writers, and paint
ers, and publishers are turned to dust.-N. Evan

One OF the ends which. since these troubles

positively. because. in nearly every public exhi-

this desire has appeared with distIictness which
renders il unmistakable. He would prefer. OF
course so to arrange the preliminaries as to give
20 the party which opposed his accession 20 pow
er the appearances of hasing begun the work Of
violence; and he has labored, with some skill
aud much assidulIy, to impose upon them the
necessity to take the initiative: but rather than
not have the conflict take place, ne would him
self almost assume the responsibility to order is
inauguration. Nothing, we are convinced, but
the fear of those personal consequences which
