We now introduce to our readers a great mural
painter, who presents to us pictures of real life, true
to clture, bul colored with those gloomy and tragic
tints which are , calculated to make us intensely
conscious that ,this world is not altogether a world

and of moonlight , sleePing upon banks of violets.

-4. life_has sunshine in it as well as shadow,-but it
was the moan of the suffering, andithe sigh of the
heart-broken, that caught his ear, and inspired him
with the_det.ermination of tonchiiig those chords
of the soul that vibrate in sympathy with human

and rustic happiness , ; but he saw “the oppressor's
wrongs, and the proud man's contumely ;" he saw
the ruined:maiden and her love despised;'he saw
the:spurns and insolence that patient Merit had to
submit to; he saw what Shakspeare had seen be

bard of nature as so truthfully depicted. Con
versing lately with a literary friend on the subject
of Crabhe's poems, he observed that they produced
ozi him no other feelings than those of pain and
disgust; the scenes were too harrowing, and the
guilt ,and wretchedness too loathsome, and -he
preferred to eat his figs without examining them
with a microscope. 'Our friend is a man of gene
rosity and fine sensibility, bat, nature never intend

we do not regard the poems before us in the light

on the 27th of December, 1754. > His.parents were
in an humble condition of life, but they:

, - ed the
,profession of a surgeon and apothecary;
hut, after an unsuccessful attempt in business, he
abandoned it; and, like Goldsmith, proceeded to
London axe literary adventurer:; his whole means
beipg about twenty-five dollars, which he had bor:
rowed from a friend..' His poems were rejected by
the booksellers, and his stock of money.was soon
gone. ,He applied to Lord North. Lord Shelbouroa
and Lord Thurlow for assistance, enclosing some
of his Compositions, but without success. At last,
'and not till after he bad been threatened with ar.
rest, he,bethought himself of Burke, and.despatth
- !otter to the great orator and statesman. His
heart was sick, fur he had met with so many re
buffs that he had little hopes of success. It was a
dark and gusty night, and the long, solitary 'boars
t were counted by poor Crabbe, as he paced back
wadi and forwaids on Westminster bridge, hun.
gry and ,cold, and without the means of obtaining
• a better shelter from the weather. But that night
_ ,
of suffering was the harbinger of a new and bright
er era in his existence. The appeal to Burke was
not made in vain. The generous heart of the
_statesman was touched with the eloquent and ex.-
' tmordinary letter• of, the suffering poet; as his taste
was, gratified with the admirable poem which was
submitted to his fine discriminating judgment- On
the morrow, Burke. received Crabbe with great
kindness, and encouraged him to show him all his
- .compositions. He then assisted him with money,
_
• .'gave him a room in his house, and treated him as
one,of the family. Burke took " The Library" and
Village" to Fox, to Thurlow, and to Sir
Joshuaßeynolds, and by the latter, as we observe'
-• in BoaWeles works, were submitted to the literary
. . giant'of the age, Dr. Johnson. JohnoOn was high
ly pleased-with them; for their sentiments on the
false notion' of rustic haPpiness and virtue were
congenial' to his own. He made semi slight sug
• gestiona and emendations in the manuscript; which
Were approved by the
,delighted author, and the
poems were published. Burke went'farther in his
kindness' to the poet. .He advised him to enter
the chdrch, which accorded with the wishes of
Crabbe; and, after taking orders, through the in.
fluence °ibis patron, he obtained a lucrative living,
which enabled him to marry. Sarah Rimy, the obi

The sweetest flower that ever blossom'd there,'" ;,,
When Phoebe Dawson gaily cros&d the green,
In haste trisee and happy to be seen :
Hei airs, her manners, all who saw, admir'd;
Courteous though coy, and gentle though retied ;
The joy of youth and health her eyes display'et
And ease of heart her every, look convey'd
Anative skill her simple robes express'd,
As with untutored elegance she dress'd
The lade atntind,admired so fake sight, •
,A.nd Plicelie felt, and felt she gave,delight.

U Lo f now with red rent cloak and bonnet black,
And torn green goWn, loose hanging at her back
One who an infant in her arms sustains,
And seems in patience striving withler paina•
Pinch'd are her looks,. as 0/16 who pines for brew),
Whase cares are growing and whose hopes are fled,
Pale her parch'd lips, her Leavy eyes sunk low,
And tears unnotic'd from their channels flow ;
Serene her , manner, till some sudden pain
Frets the meek soul, and then she is calm again ;
Her bioltenpitcher at the pool she takes,
And every step:with cautious terror makes ;
For not alone that infant in her arms, •
But nearer cause maternal fear alarms I
With ;water burtheu'd then she picks her way,
Slowly and cautious, in the clinging clay;
Till in mid-green she trusts a place 'unsound,
And deeply plungesin th' adhesive ground ;
From whence her slender foot - with pain she takes,'
1 •• • • •
" And now her path, but not her peace she 'gains,
Safe from her task, but shiv'ring with her pains ;
Her home she reaches, open leaves-the door, ,
And placing first her infant on the floor,
She bares her bosotp to the wind, and sits,
And sobbing, struggles with the rising fits!
In veil:it—they come--the feels th' inflaming grief
That shuts the swelling bosom from relief ;
That speaks in feeble cries a soul distrest,
Or the sad laugh that cannot be represt;
The neighbor -matron leaves her wheel, and flies
With all her aid her poverty supplies ;
Unfeed thecalls of nature she obeys,
Nor led by profit, nor allur'd by praise ;
And waiting long, till these contentions cease,
She speaks of comfort and departs in peace."
" But who this child of weakness, want and care?
'Tie Phoebe Dawson, pride of Lammas fair ;
Who toirkiher lover for his sparkling eyes,
Expressions warm, and love-inspiring lies :
'Compassion first assaird her gentle heart,
For all his suffering, all his bosom's smart:
And - then his prayers! they would a savage move,
And win the coldest of the sex to love :
But ah! too soon his looks success decked,
'Too late her loss the marriage -rite repair'd ;
The faithless flatterer then his vows forgot,
A captious tyrant or a drunken sot ;
It present, railing, till he saw her pain'd ;
If absent, spending what their labor gain'd;
Till that fair lorm in want and sickness pin'd,
And hope, arid ;comfort fled that gentle mind.
Then fly temptation, youth; resist, refrain!
Nor let me preach forever and in vain!"
The story of Phcebe Dawson is a simple one 01
every day life. The manuscript of it was read and
admired by the celebrated statesman Fox, a few
days before his death. We. have hardly gi,en in
the above, extracts a fair 'specimen of the nervous
forte and sensibility that characterizes this most
original and truthful of poets. The " Gipsey Wo

will close this article with the following extract
_f r om- the latter." - ' ihe byain of the heavenly
teacher that charmed the mind of poor Sir Eustice
in the madhouse
a Pilgrim, burthened with thy sin,
-'Come the way to Zion's gate,
There, till mercy, let thee in,
Knock and weep, and watch and wait
Knock!—lie knows the sinner's cry:
Weep!—He loves the mourner's tears:
Watch t—for saving grace is nigh:
Wait!—till heavenly light appears.
Hark t it is the bridegroom'a voice ;
Welcome, pilgrim, to thy rest;
Now within the gate rejoice,
Safe and seal 4.1, and bought and blest
Safe—from all the lures of vice, -
. Seal'd--by signs the chosen know.
Bought-by love, and life the price,
Sirst—the mighty debt to owe.
13oly pilgrim! what for thee,
In a world like this remain?
From thy guarded breast shall flee,
Fear and shame, and - doubt and pain.
-Fear—the hope of Heaven shall fly,
-'Shame—from glory's view retire,
-Doubt—in certain rapture die,
Pain—in endless bliss expire."
Eta*link and Hoffman.
The papers of yesterday announce, that Fitz
Greene Halleck has become an inmate of an insane
nlylum, where, only a few days before, was placed
his cotemptirary and friend, Charles Fenno Hof
man, who is now a raving maniac. Halleck is a
man of about fifty-two years of age—Hoffman
some eleven years younger. Both are well known
poets ; but Halleck has been more successful,
graphic and original than Hoffman. litiffman's
prose works are very popular, though his" Gray:
steer" is a novel of unequal ability. His " Winter
in the West," and his Wild Scenes in the Forest
and Prairie," passed thnallgh many editions, and
are still much read and admired. Mr. Griswold,
himself no mean authority, says " no American is
comparable to Hoffman as a songewriter. His own
lines, written upon Byrdn, apply with mournful
appositeness to the direful calamity which has be.
fallen birn : ,
' And he did watch fifes lamp go out—

A hght beneath the sun."
HaHeck, now thi inmati of a mad.house, is the
the author of that immortal 'poem," Marco Boz
zaris," a production which combines all the high.
Mt elements of postry. " Red Jacket" and
'Burns" are twouf bis best pieces. Mr Bryant,
the poet, says of Halleck, tkitif 4 . soinetimes in the
midst of a strain of a harmonious diction, and soft_
and tender imagery, be surprises by an irresistible
stroke of ridicule, as if he took pleasure in show•
ing the reader , that the poetical vision he had raj•
sed but was a cheat. Sometimes with-that renal
facility which is his peculiar endowment, he ac
cumulates graceful and agreeable images:_irt a
strain of irony so fine, that did .not.the subject .
compel the readm to receive it as irony, he would
take at for a passage of serious. poetry. His poetry,
whether serious or sprightly, is remarkable for
melody of its numbera."—Pennsylsanian.!

Corpoiation Scrip. _
For some days past there 'has been a rising fever
in this city, on the subject of Scrip." The scarcity
of Eastern funds with the banks and brokers, lasts
caused aft kinds Of available paper tele sent home
for redemption in exchange ; ,but with the serip
the brokers could do nothing,and at last they liave
resolved to decline receivin; it,except upon spec ial
deposit. The amount afloat in the bands of the
people is pretty large, and the difficulty of using
it as a medium of.. currency" wilt become very
great, unless our Councils and the Commisi;oners
of the County; adopt immediate steps to protect its
credit; and thus prevent innncent holders, who
have placed their trust in the good faith of this
great commodity, from losses. We do not pretend
any skill in " financiecing," therefore have nothing
to propose to mitigate the evil which we fear is at
hand. Still there may be a remedy-; and the
wise heads . who manage city affairs may be able
to devise plans to prevent those - sacrifices which
the innocent holders of this" currency" will have
to suffer if nothing is done. Gentlemen who had
a hand in making these notes, are now the subject
of much vituperation; but if the public bad spoken
out at the time when the evil was done, it would
not have taken place. The only plan that suggests
itself to us, is for Councils to sell the real estate
belonging to the city, and to allow six per cent.
from the date on which the scrip shall be presented
to the City Treasurer for redemption. This will
raise its value in a short time, and it will be held
by all citizens who have taxes to pay, or who
want a secure investment fur idle money in their
, hands. It will then be better than city bonds, amid
we believe few would suffer much loss by it. But
as we said before, we do not profess to be a fi
nancier," and let those who have ptoduced the.
crisis, get the public out of it as easy as possible.
We might make some comments here on " finan•
ciering," but we refrain.

The plan proposed by Sir Robert Peel for the re.

such hada as are burdened with charges which their
owners cannot defray. Fair compensation is to be
given for them. These lands are to be re-disposed
of through the agency of a Government comminution.
This proposal has been received in such a manner
biLord John Russell and other Ministers, as to in
dace the espectation that the present session of Par
liament Will witness the introduction of something
approaching to a remedy for Irish distress; and this
remedy is nothing less than the transfer of the land
in the districts where the Poor-law Unions are bank

to your readers. Absence during a portion of the
examination will necessarily render this sketch
'imperfect.
the 'junior class in Physiology, composed of
boys and gala of very tender age,aNuitted itself
creditably. However refreshing a change of study
may be to the:scholar, it is questionable whether
must advantage is derived from either crowding
the young mind with varied objects,or entangling
them in the definition of abstruse terms—the me-
mory at last, whatever may be the disadvantages
of this practice, is *ell-drilled and strengthened.
The Arithmetician of the Seminary btu; display
ed unexampled industry and tact in bringing the
young mind to take such apparent pleasure ih
practising the dry , and uninteresting rules of his
branch, Nothing but the most perfect devotion to
the improvement o thoite under his . charge , could
have -produced the promptness and accuracy
hi bite& i n solvipg the various questions propounded.
The class in Algelmsom a former occasion, ac:
,quitted.itself admirably—its advancement toward
the higher walks of mathematics has been rapid.
Thel Latin clan( bears strong evidence of Mr.
Smithi efficiency as a teacher—not on account of
'having moved rapidly, from book to book, but in
the thetrough knowledge of that which they have
recited, and the principles on which the language
is conStructed..
The:Teacher of Music, Mr. -----, is an excel•
lent Pianist, and under betterattspices will, in the
Second Quarter, no doubt, give ample evidence of
his qualifications as an instructor.
The Misses titid Miss It—, former
pupils:of the Acadettily, enlivened the exercises with
dining the - several interludes, and added
greatly to the enjoyment of the audience.
It was a matter of observation that Orthography
had no place in the catalogue of subjects presented
to the Lattention of the patrons.., This was certainly
an °Mission, as it is known to be a branch carefully
and successfully taught. leMay to some appear
tediouif to listen to spelling= classes, but that fact
does riot render the practice of struggling for pre.
eminence in orthogrOphy unimportant. The omis•
sion was no doubt the result of the want of time.
M r.. B rown, the AttsistrptTeacher, gave evidence
of the ossession of ever reqUisite quality.
The evening's entertaittment wert in good taste
and instructive, evidencing gieit industry and talent
in thee who particiiiated.
Original diologues, the propria persona of whir
were well selected, &c., and a very feeling valedic
tory by a pupil, whp was' about separating from
his classmates, constituted tbi interesting exercises
of the evening.
The address of the Rev. Mr. Hastings, to the
Patrons of the Academy,. was full of practical
thoughts, illustrating the importance of just such
an institution as the East Liberty Academy, to the
farmer, the mechanic, the merchant and the house.
wife,* well as to the professional classes. '
The objection of parents to the country is met
by, this Academy. ;, The 'desideratum has been
found in the advantiges"to be cierived.froin an at.
tendinsce on its • classes—the convenient.means of
educating,their children athome.

Ilornsiii, a member of the Council of State; Gen.
Lisundi, Col. Ortiz, Col. P.spinoza; and Oolubje,
native of New 'Granada, the noted assassin of Gen.
Arrialza; together with several other conspirators
of less note, were embarked _on board a small
schooner which sailed
. ol_the Tth of March under
sealed orders, and for. 'pats Unknown. Gen. Tei

in the house of Mr Clay, the United States Charged'
Affairs. .

Atlantic, and the continuation of his full:pay pro:
vided he Would voluntarily absent himself from

that ifle did not - accept the terms stipulated, his

ing the privileges as a member of the CoUncil, he
declined the offer made by the government, and
was sent away,"tis before stated, destined, it is sup-
posed, to some. part of Asia. The antis of the ex
patriated parties laid their complaints befOre the
Council, which, after passing (as the law requires)
time notificationi to the Executive, declared its
responsibility for--infringing'the Constitution, in
not putting the. accused parties at the disposal of
the Tribunals of the country, and claiming that
the personitf
• San Roman, as a metaber of the.
Council, was inviolable. The President dissented
from the opinion of the Council, and declarations
and claims , were of no.ayail.
.
An extraordinary, Congress has been convoked
for the Ist of May, which will eittier give Or with
hold its, sanction to, the acts:of the Executive.—
San Roman and Tonic° are noted Revolutionists.
Gen. Castilla, the. President of Peru, is believed
to have the interest of his country at heart, but
the constitutional powert of the'Executive are too
limited for the perservation of order where the
military are constantly making disturbances.—
Personal aggrandizement atone actuates Peruvian
Revolutionists:
Should the Congress not approve the nets o
President Castilla, we fear Peru will see trouble..
Adjournment of, the Legislature.
The legislature adjourned at eight o'clock•last
evening after a laborious session of ninety-nine
days, during which period more bilis were repor
ted, acted upon and passed, than at anYlfortner
session that we brae any recollection of.-Although
the members of the late - iiession have been pretti
roughly handled -by the press it cannot , he said of
them that they were lazy; they did much`both for
good and for evil, and time alone will determine
whether their acts will meet the , approval of the
people. Never has, there been such a pressoflocal
bills as at the late session. The banks received a
good share of attention, and although much was
done, that ought to have been left undone on this
subject, still the Banking Capital of the State was
but slightly increased, there being but two new.
Banks incorporated. A new license and a neve
revenue bill were passed which it is believed will
add to the revenue of the. State some hundred
.thousand dollars; the judicial districts of the State
were re-arranged and three new districts created,
provision was made for avoiding the inclined plane,
and for resuming operations on the NOrth Branch
canal, and a section was adopted in the appropria,
tion bill authorizing the Banks to re-issue ..
, the re
lief notes now in circulation and to suspend their
cancellation for three pars. This last measure we
regard as a gross outrage not only upon the State
credit but upon every , business and laboring marl
in the commpnity. The phblic sentiment of Penn
sylvimia is almost unimous in favor of driving the
relief notes entirely from circulation. The ilimse
of Representatives twice insisted on making a ioan
to put these notes out of existence but so anxious
were the friends of Governor Johnston in the Sen.
ate to retain this shinplaster curse inexistence
that they would bear to - nothing brit a reissue of
the relief notes. Rathertban losetbe appropria.
non bill the House, unwisly as we think, yielded

The editor of the Philadelphia Bulletin luts been,
permitted to publish the following extract from a
letter from a citizen of Lexington, Missouri, dated.
March 291h,1849:
Some of the citizens of this place are busily enga.
god in preparing for a trip to California. Companies
for that place.aro arriving daily by steamboats, and
many .hundreds are already here. A compziny.of
270 went up last night, an a steamer from Pi ttsburgh,
to their rendezvous at St. osoph, Mo.; and every.
boat, (and they arrive daily) bring up moreor less.
The generality of the persons are young and mid
dle aged men, all in the prime of life; and . what' is
more remarkable, are men apparently of temperate
and steady habits. •

Tau Scarp.-Never since. the time of the Bank
suspensions, have we witnessed such excitement
about money, is was apparent in our streets yester
day. At the corners were seen groups of men,with
handfuls of paper money, talking about the value.
Is stores and warehouses;there wore - chafferings.
Countrymen were bargaining for the sale of the few
dollars they held in their possession, while the men
of the city refused to touch—at least, moat of them
seemed afraid, and held off for the time..
What seemed somewhat singular, we heard some
Whigs cursing the policy which dictated.the issue of
the scrip in the first place ; just as thongh they were
not particeps criminie.
When all this will end, we know not. That the
scrip issued by the city and county is good,und will
ultimately be redeemed, we do not doubt; but
many tbousandeof laboring people will be swindled
out of large portions of their earnings by' the Sha
vings taken off these bits of paper proinisp.
Simms' Wzoonco.-On last Sabbath evening,
the Rev. Wm. Taylor, who was a few damn:miens-
Iy ordained to the ministry, in Dr. West's church,
preached a sermon in Dr. Swift's Church, Allegheny
city, from the text," God is Love: , At the condo..
"ion of the discourse, be stepped down from the
pulpit, and took his seat beside Miss Charlotte
Thompson. In a few minutes, Dr. Swift announced
that the marriage ceremony was about to be per
formed, lad in the presence of the astonished and
tittering congregation, the Rev. Taylor and Miss
Thompson were united in the bonds of matrimony.
They left on Monday morning for Chicago. •
FIRE.—On yesterday morning, between midnight
and 1 o'clock, the watchman discovered a fire in Ry
an's building, Filth street, which might have proved
very destructive, had not the flames been ettingaish
ed before they made much progress. In five min.
rites more, the watchman says, the building could
not have been saved. The origin of the fire was
from the furnace, used in the room' of Rhodes dr. Al
core.
Piasnoc.—Our friend, whom we have noticed for
hi• attention to the effbrts of the County, was
yesterday when the speeches were being made.
This is strange, indeed. It may be possible, how
ever, that be was interested in some assault and bat
tery cue before an alderman; and could not find
time to go to the bill. - We will look for him to-day,
and if he is in his place, we will report the fact.
