LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM ENGLAND.

BY the arrival at New.York Of the English
ship Dalhousie Castle, Liverpool papers to the
18th. and London to the evening Of the l4,h Of
April, have been received. The London Globe
OF the latest date, in a second edition, publish
ed at half past five O'clock, announces the ap.
pointmeEt Of Mr.. Canning as Premier, and the
resignation, in consequence thereof, of the fol.
lowing seven Ministers:
The Lord Chancellor Eldon,
The Duke of Wellington,
Lord Sidmoulh,
Lord Bathurst,
Lord Westmoreland,
Lord Bexley,
Mr.. Peel.
Lord Lowther, son of Lord Londale, also re,
signed as one Of the Lords Of the Treasury.
Thus it appears that there has been a general
sweep Of the Cabinet. The Courier Of the i4th
says, that the Duke Of Wellington has resigned
not only the Ordnance, bu. as Commander in
Chief-tbat several Of his Majes,y's household
also had resigned, namely, Duke Of Mon,rose,
Lord Chamberlain; the Marquis Of Graham; his
son; and the Duke Of Dorset, master of the
horse.
The King is reported as having expressed in
dignation at the attempt Of the Tory and High
Church party to eircumscribe his p%rerogatiye,
and to dictate a cabinet TO him. Some Of the
designations were made apparently with the
hope they would not be accepted; but the King
accepted them at once.
Lord Melville, first Lord of the Admiralty,
had also resigned. This is deemed singular,
as he was of the Catholic side of the cabinet !
The King had appointed the Duke Of Clarence
as Lord High Admiral; the whole Board ofA9
miralty Excepting Lord Melville) retainjb
their places. 1t is said with more cen6df'
that Lord Grenville is to be the Foreign Ser'

POETRY.

In DaIe's Poems, we find the following beau
t;ful de sc ription If the Saviour OF the wore
and. TO use The language OF an English writei
expresses without s9aggeration, what the an
rrilc pencil Of Raphael long ago dared and de
TO portray:
Fyoung he were, twas only seen,
From lines that told what once had beeni
As ifthe wand Of Time
Had sm.te him ere he reached his prime;
The bright rose on his cheek was faded,
His pale fair brow with sadness shaded.
Yet through the settled sorrow there,
A conscious grandeur flashed, which told
Unswayed by man, and uncontrolled,
Himself had deigned their lot to share,
And borne-because he willed TO bear.
What e'er his being or his birth,
His soul had never stopped to earth;
Nor mingled with the meaner race,
Who shared or swayed his dwelling place.
But ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS unknown,
Held converse with itself alone;
And vet the look that could depress
Pride to it's native nothingness;
And bid the specious boaster shun
The eye he dared not gaze upon,
Superior love did still reveal
Not such as man for man may feel;
No-all WAS psssionless and pure
That Godlike majesty Of woe
" hich counts its glcry to endure
And knows no hope, no fear below,
Nor aught tina, still to earth can bind
But love and pity for mankind
And in his eve q radiance shone- -----
-06 whom no prophet veil is thrown,
To paint that pure celestial ray;
Mercy and tenderness, and love,
And all that finite sense can deem,
of him who reigns enthroned above;
Light-such as bless'd lsaiah's dream
When to the awe struck prophets eyes,
God babe the star of Judah rise
There Heaven in living lustre glowed-
There shone the Saviour there the God.
