TO Mr FRIEND B The other davlchancl to see AildsScFlood, Hadfouglit disease St bravely stood; Glad tidings these to him,nodoubt, Who wrote ; or found the secret out. I only write that you may see My specimen of poetry; For poets onlv write for fame; , Their wealth' is only a great name I've seen the time, when I could My pen?like Hercules his shield: I'v e seen the time when with re nown, . . I hurl'd my darts at Buzzard town; It's stables, domes, with thund'rmg roar, i Prostrate they fell,, to rise no more: But time, that ever eating moth, Has put an end to sprightly youth. Tho', even now, I scarce refrain From writing verse on TommyPain; Not him, whose energetic mind, . Explain 'd the rights of all mankind; But why recoil, my little muse, Why thus to me "your aid refuse? You are correct; 'tis all in vain To write on themes of useless Pain: Then halt, Pegasus,' let him pass, My muse forbids you kick an . Elegy on the DEATH OF LORD BYRON. Rear high thy bleak majestic hills, Thy shelter'd vallies proudly spread; And, England, pour thy thousand rills, And wave thy heaths with blos soms red. But ah! what poet now shall tread Thy airy heights, thy wide domain; Since he, the sweetest bard, is dead, That ever breath'd the soothing strain. Hang your harps o'er the waters to weep, The sweetest of poets is dead! He slumbers in death's silent sleep, And the cypress waves over his head! Drop, ye willows, your pearls o'er his tomb, All nature in sadness appear; Let the moon be envelop 'd in glocm, And its halo be dimm'd with a tear ! Companies, one sort or other, in -reduced to $2tm from Alba- the city of New-York, is, at Lo0f tli?rtv-six millions six hundred thousand dollars for every, man, woman and child, in the city. - There are notices now publishing of applications for incorporation for banks, and other monied institutions, under various names, 'disguises, and pretences, to the aggregate a mount of twenty millions of dollars more! It is even surmis ed, that they will all or most of them be granted. The Editor of the New York Evening Post, among other pa pers, successfully exposes the speculations in which these pro jects have their origin, and to which they lead. " I here is noi (says he) employment for the fictitious capital already created, and when the new batch of in corporations are made by the next Legislature, as they most assuredly will be, the fabric cannot bear its own weight, and must tumble." We appreheJid that the danger is of a different nature from this, but equally to be deprecated, ihere is no knowing, until it is tried how ponderous the "fabric" which the prodigious resources of that city and state will bear, nor the accumulation of misery and ine quality of condition which will follow the establishment of so vast a moneyed aristocracy These few observations, how ever, were not intended as a se rious notice of this important subject, but to introduce the fol lowing as examples of ridicule succesfully applied to the pre vailing folly, by the Evening Post. Nat. Int. The bard who so late strung his lyre Notice. Application will be made to the Legislature for a bank, under the name and style of the Domestic Manufacturer's Bank, with a capital of $300, 000, with certain privileges, viz: Discounting on thehigh pressure The cold urn 'shall wrap in its; principle; loaning on hypothe- Dreast; cation of second hand clothes, T1Etctrpt;u toTs strP're' j been thoroughly ven- No more the sweet maidens of Greece, Enraptur'd, shall dwell on his name; The harp, with its master's at peace, And lost its Promethean flame! No friend of his youth closed his eyes, Nor soften'd his pillow of care; No wife mingl'd tears with his sighs, Nor child of his bosom was there ! That heart which for liberty breath'd, Lies embalm'd in the land of the brave; Whose sword shall never be sheath'd, 'Till it vanquish the coward and slave! BANK SCHEMERS. The abundance of capital in England is such, that is seeking employment in any manner that promises to yield even a moderate interest. The natural consequence is that many pro jects are devised, and companies formed for carrying them into execution, which are mere traps for the money of those who have more capital than they know what to do with. By and by, say the London editors they will, one after another, pvnlndn. leaving in the hands of the last ly account ol emntv boxo Tn such an extent does this r; rage in England at present, that u is saiu even to exceed in extravagance, that of the famous South Sea scheme, and to pro mise a termination scarcely less ruinous.

A young manHvas lately executed in Lon don, for forgery, who had squan dered in eight years upwards of 55220,0001 America. ....The following fine passage is extracted from a speech of Judge Story, in the convention of Massachusetts: "In our country, the highest man is not above the neonle. If the rich may bo said to have ad ditional protection, they have not additional power; nor docs wealth here form a permanent distinction of families. Those who are wealthy to day, pass to the tomb, and their children di vide their estates. Property thus is divided as it accumulates. No family can, without its own exertions, stand erect a long time, under our statute of dc scents and distributions,the only true and legitimate agrarian law. It silently and quietly dissolves the mass heaped up by the toil and diligence of a long life of enterprize and industry. Pro perty is continually changing like the waves of the sea.
