The resignation of Mr. Biddle, President of the United
StAtes atrik, somewhat surprised the Arn,:riean merchants
ye:iferday, and various opinions were formed on the sub.

health tha he gave up the important task, but owing -to
the tottering situation of some of the hanks, whieh may
Itad to a new crisis of the banking system in the United

SALcomn, APRIL 29.—Arrived the London line of
packet ship Ontario, from New York, sailvd till! 641 inst. ;
of course she does not bring so late intelligence as received
yesterday.
The Batavier has just arrived af:er 23 hours' passage ;
prices come the same as per last accounts. P.ipers not yet
received.

We were to-clay favoured with a private view of
a very magnificent pianoforte, manufactured by Messrs.
Town and Emanuel, of New Bond-street. The workman-
ship is in the splendid style of Louis XIV. It is com-
posed of marquetrie, beautifully inlaid, the sides and ends
being ornamented with medallions of Sevre China,
painted in brilliant colours with appropriate emblematical
(Lices. The edges and pillars are finished with a very
chaste and elegant gilt moulding, and at the corners are
full-length figures, also gilt, bearing. musical instruments.
In addition to this magnificent exterior we may add that
the tone is extremely rich and powerful, the whole being
highly creditable to the good taste and skill of the manu-
facturers. We understand that her Majesty expressed
herself in the most favourable terms of the instrument,
which has ly!en for the last fortnight, by her express de-
sire, at Buckingham Palace.
The appearance of Hyde Pack from five until
six indicates that London is extremely full. The fact of
there being but two bails a week, and one of these a
103. 6d. one ( Almack's), is a sorry recompenco to immmas
and•papas who strain every nerve to give their diughters
" the advantage of a London season."

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.
In the Paper headed " Our Descriptive Poetry,"
Christopher North gives us another of those desultory
critical essays—a piquant mixture (4' sentiment, U..,
inour, and fancy—fr which " the old man eloquent" is
so celebrated. The subject is Dyer's Poetry, of whom
we are glad to find he is an admirer ; for the author of
the " Ruins of Karat" has long been a favourite with us,
and we perused his " Grongar Hill," while sitting in the
shade of tl-e " thrush grove," and looking towards the
ruins of Denevor Castle, both which objects form the
subject of the most impressive passage in that fine de-
scriptive poem. Dyer was graceful, natural writer,
hut his verses, if we mistake not, want force and energy
of character. In all his works we remember but on•
passage of this stamp—and that is, where h, speaks cf
" the voice of time dip trtiog towers" at midnight among
the ruins of old Rome. We quote the following pas-
sap, in allusion to " the Eternal City," which is in
Kit North's most thoughtful and emphatic manner :

n respect of all analysis.of the instances of association

by CON rItA fa, two things are to be had in view. Li the
first place, there 'will he found in all of them, as there is
season to think, established links of connexion in the

thought, enabling the mind to pass frem one object to the
other ;at by these the apparent mystery of the principle
of contrast is done sway. But, secondly, there will stiff'
remain to be ascertained the cause of the power of
trast. For those iir.ks, though they make the transition
possible, do not make it necessary. The power of con-
trast, that which inip6ls the mind to the trausitiou, is a

power of feeling ; and the law by which it acts is a law
of feeling altogether. When we look upon the ruins of
Rome, the mere fact that this site, and these broken walls
and reft pillars, are part of the city vainly called eternal,
would not necessarily drive back our imagination with ye-
Alewnee to the conception of the fallen greatness. But
our mind csme to the spot full of a thousand mighty re-
collections of that ancient majesty. We bought to the
place where Rome stood the memory of Rome. There
fore it was, that when we saw the place, and the yet sur-
viving relics, we
,missed that which should have been
there. It was our exulting and triumphant sympathy with
that imperial state that Ili Ade us feel disappointed when we
came to look upon the spot, as if Cicero or Scipio could
have been there, to see what was not of Rome. It was
this high and lofty feeling quickened by the yet surviving
relies of majesty, that was wounded by the sight of decay,
dishonour, and desolation. '4d we need seek no other
law to account for our, grief, sen that which would fill
with sorrow and dismay the he-irt of a holy priest, who,
entering the temple of his God, should find the altar sul-
lied with profanation.
" Farewell to England" is a humorous collection of
rhymes to the eye, but not to the ear, supposed to be
wtitten by a Frenchman who has lately studied Eng-
lish, and congratulates himself in his introductory re-
marks, on his care in using none hut legitimate rhymes.
The " Picture Galery," which has reached its seventh
number, is a sketch of a Castle-builder. The tale is
short, and inculcates a serviceable moral. " Hallowed
Ground" is a poem containing several excellent pas-
sages, and some few not a little tame and wire-drawn.
The " Goddess Venus in the Middle Ages" is by Mr.
Milne?. It is a delightful legendary tale in verse, whose
melody is among its least recommendations. " Some
Account of Himself, by the Irish Oyster-Eater," dis-
plays, here and there, much rough vigour of descrip-
tion. The author, who is supposed to be a raw Irish
lad, just imported from the " Gem," conveys his original
impressions of the Strand, in these amusing terms ;
" I walked through the streets on my way to the Strand,
which I expected to find a smooth, pebbly beach, with
bathing-boxes and fishing boats lying all about, enlivened-
by groupes of little barelegged urchins wading in search
of shrimps." The " Sketcher's Sonnets," of. which we
have hero nearly a dozen, are some of them very good,
such as the " Bird," aad " Night ;" and others, prose
to a degree past endurance. " Notes of a Traveller".
are heavy, and tell us little that has not been told a
dozen times already. Mr. Chapinati's " Translation of
the Eumenides of lEzebylus" is replete with energy of
the right sort.

BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.
Air. show:4 to great advalit,ge in

number, both as contributor and editor. He sets before
us an. unimpeachable feast, at which we cannot choose
but fall to with exceeding relish. His "Jack Sheppard"
improves greatly on acquaintanco, and chiefly for this
reason, that the present chapters are less elaborated—
or, at any rate, the art is less apparent—than any of
tlnir predecessors. There is an rase, too, and a spirit in
the dialogue; which Mr. Ainsworth has not hitherto ex-
hibited. The scenes between Mrs. Sheppard and tha
carpenter, Wood, leave- nothing to be d,.!5in..11 in the way
k:f healthy', natural feeling; and though we have an ia-
_ _

vincible dislike to the dclails of flash life, yet we must
~onfess that the sketch of the "booing ken" where
Jack Sheppard is surprised by his mother, is drawn with
infiuite • graphic ability. " Bridegroom's Star" is
affecting incident penned in an eloquent, graceful
=pirit. " Handy Andy" is not so good this month as it
;las been. " The Father" is a talc of a stern, tragic
order, for which we are inlebted to the author of the
Mountain Decameroo"—a work by no means so well
known as it ought to be. The tale is somewhat over-
, charged—Mr. Downes's insetting ,in—but it contains
passages of great nerve and energy ; and exhibits the
grange conflict going on in a father's mind, between his
love for an only son, and his doubt whether it really is his
—the mother being supposed to have played him false—
in such a masterly style as no other writer of the day
can surpass, if equal. The landscape descriptions scat-
' tercd throughout this impressive story combine the skill
of the painter with the quick and refined apprehension
of the poet. Here is a gem worthy of the two Wilsons,
the Professor and the Artist:—

" Some years after the death of the child, I was entering
a town a little distance from Llandefelaehi one fine sum-
mer's night, by a eloudleSs moon. A peal of bells (a rather
ran! .tue,mpiliment of our Welsh churches) reached my ears
rrtini the church seen dim on a eminence abate the humble
town, shrouded by venerable trees, from amid which the
-mossy thltehes of the houses, in their grey antiquity,
peeped through thick foliage. Cows wandered about the
rude streets of half-green rock, steeply sloping down to a
little river tumbling in a craggy channel, and keeping a
oc,rpetual gentle roar, which, deadened by the banks, pro.
duced an efLet- as lulling, if not as melancholy, as those
disiant The'voices of a few children tempted out
to play round a huge oak tree, on a greensward in the mid-
dle of this lonely village town, alone broke the monotony
of those' mingled sounds, except when an owl was heard
from a small ruin of a castle on a mound beyond that na-
.; I .i%e brook."

is itdinite truth, and distinctness, and vigour
in this painting, which on examination will be found to
he crowded, but not improperly so, with some as pic-
turesque images as were ever grouped together on an
artist's canvas. Yet theie •is no appearance of effort.
A. few candy,- ih,,gical touches produce the whole effect.
The still-WC of the lands ape is admirably broken by the

vr)ices of the and the " ventle roar" of the
little river, which impart to it quite a cheaful character,
despite the melancholy hooting of the owl from the old
ruins of the castle. " Tne Thames and his Tributa•
ries" is an ingenious thome well discui,st,d. We like•thr.
ul!;lssumni.r st:.le of this article, which might
,harnt many of far higher pretensions. " A Spaqis.th
Robber" is a sp;rited out of which a strikietz-
mtdodratipt in; 't b, manufar,tore:, " A Nriit

Holithain Hal" -is just paKahle, gos,fpittg,

la%4lted upon it. It is as sketch of Diglish lift?, as ge-
nuine, though not. quite FO rude or homely, as one of
Morland's paintings. The scene between Mrs. Lupton
and her young friend. !Miss S!tirty, developes dramatic
ta!eA of no r, ran This t tl. , we confidently pre.
diet, will grow in favour with the public.

NEW M 4 iNT HLY MAGAZINE.

" A Fragment of Modern H,story" is a tale of the
French R volution. The author is Theodore •Hook,
succee,ls tar better in broad humour, than in earuret
and impassio cd tlivrative. The story is, we are toll.
fouinhid on L. et ; this tnly he the cas', but in its main
incidents it. reminds us forcibly of a tale related by Dr.
M,,ginn in the Literary Souvenir, some five or six years
ago,and entitled "A Roland for an Oliver." Mr. Hook,
we perceive, talks of the First Consul's early campaigns
in Italy. This is a mistake. Napoleon was not rtised
to the Consulate till after his return from Egypt. A
slight error of this sort, however, is exousable in a has-
tily-written Magazine fiction. " The Early Career of

ya.laia" contains few anecdotes, scarce one of whic
iw s worth repeating. ".The Widow Married" is a con-
tinuation of Mrs. Trollope's admirable tale of " Widow
Barnaby." It wants the bold, satirical, reckless ht
moor of that clever novel, still it is very amusing, ant,
superior, we think, to the authoress's " Factory Boy."
It is spiritedly illustrated by Buss, who has done all
possible justice to the widow's wwll-oiled, black tresses.
The tale will of course be continued from month to
month ; and the next chapters will be more interesting
than the present, for the dextrous widow and her
worthy spouse Major Allen, will then be again
in England, intriguing, as before, for the advancement
of their wordly interests. " Appleby's the Man" is an
anecdote of a late self-conceited messenger of Drury-
lane Theatre, told with infinite unction by Mr. Poole.
" A Summer in Bavaria" contains some agreeable re-
miniscences of the poet-monarch of that country, whose
Royal qualities are, fertucately for his subjects. of a
far superior order to his poetical Ines.. The " Phan-
tom Ship" is a continuation of Captain Marryat's ro-
mance. As we have already noticed this in its col-
lected form of three volumes, we need here say nothing
more on the subject. " The Metaphysician and the
Maid" is a piquant story of a philosopher who was se-
duced into sentiment by the smiles and coquetries of his
landlord's daughter, Miss Bridget Buttons. The hint
for this tale has, we suspect, been furnished by the
well-known fact of the late Mr. Haztitt's infatuation
for the servant of the lodging-house where he resided,
in Chancery-lane. as recorded by himself in that extra-
ordinary work, the " Liber Amoris, or Modern P -
" Lady May" is a tissue of smooth common-
place ; and the " Letters. from Ireland" are not much
better. N. Ve subjoin Mr. Douglas JiATold's spirited

In slip-shod, careless rhyme,
A legendary lay
Of Willy's goldon time.
" One balmy summer's night,
As Stratford yeomen tell,
Our Will, the royst'rinC wight,
Beneath a crab-tree fell ;
And, sunk in deep repose,
The tipsy time begull'd,
Till Dan Apollo rose
Upon his greatest child.
" Since then all people ;toyed
The tree had wondrous poser;
With sense, with speech endow'd,
'Twould prattle by the hour :
Tho' scatter'd far about.
Its remnants still would blab :
Mind, ere this fact you doubt--
It was a female crab.
" ' I felt,' thus spoke the tree,
As down the poet lay,
A touch, a thrill, a glee,
Ne'er felt before that day
Along my verdant blood,
A quick'ning sense (lid shoot,
Expanding ev'ry bud,
And rip'ning all my fruit.

Around me and above
The yell of mad th-spair,
The burning s'gh of love I

Suspicion on the rack,
The ringing laugh and jeit,
Begot by sherris sack
" Since then, my branches full
Of Shsksperc's vital heat,
My fruit once crude and dull,
Became as honey sweet ;
And when, o'er plain and hill,
Each tree was leefles seen,
My boughs did filurish still
In everlasting green.'
" And, thus our moral food
Doth Shaltspere leaven still,
Enriching all the good,
And less'ning all the ill ;
Thus, by his bounty, shed
Like balm from angel's wing,
Tho' winter scathe our head,
Our sprits dahee with spring."
