more than will be required to satisfy other than
the moat fastidious taste; and heightened as it

THE Fllisr OF MAY.
The celebration of this anniversary, at the City
Hall, by the members of Mr*. Moisc’s Institution,
was attended with its usual interest. An im
mense crowd were assembled, who seemed happy
in witnessing tho enjoyment of youth, beauty and
innocent;. It was, indeed, no sacrifice to for
sake the ordinary bustle of every-day life, to re
pair to a spot where so many bright and joyous
creatures had assembled, to wear the garlands en
twined by affection, and which were emblemati
cal of their own loveliness and purity. The chsir
•f Stale was placed in a central situation, and
when the chosen May-day Queen advanced to
occupy it, her appearance was welcomed by a
choir ofglal voices in the following song;
BrighfMaid of May !
We bail thee! wc hail thee,
On this auspicious day ;
See how surrounding
Tha varied seasons move,
Thy fame resounding
The object of their love.
[nowin aims strew nowcas.]

For flowtels strew thy way

Bright Queen of May !
We crown thee, wo crown thee,
On this auspicious day.
See how surrounding,
Tho varied seasons move,
Thy fame resounding
The abject of their love.
Thy path now is brighter,
Thy tread shall be light nor,
For flowrots atrow thy way,
Thou Flora of tho day.
United voices bail thee,
United voices hail thee,
United voices hail thee Queen of May.
The seasons and months, the old and new year,
Flora and Hope, were personated by young la
dies, who. were dressed in colours to suit the
character they represented. Each bore a banner
of white satin appropriately decorated, The
first address to the Queen was made by Hope,
(Miss 8. Bcnaacans.)
“With (Am, sweet Hope resi les the heavenly light,
That pours remotest rupture on the sight,
V here is tho charm. if life's bewildered wny
That rails each slumbering passion into p ay,
Wak'd by (Ay touch 1 see the sister hand
On tiptoe watching, start at thy command,
And fly where’er thy mandate bids them steer
To pleasure s path or glory's bright csTrer.
Congenial Hope! (Ay passion kindling power,
How bright, how strong in youth's untroubled hour
On yon proud height, who Genius hand in hand
I see thee light and wave thy golden wand.
Hope! when 1 mourn, with sympathizing mind
The wrong! of tale, the wove of human kind
7 Ay blissful omens bid my spirit see
The boundless fields ol rapture y\l to be ;
Eternal Hope I w hen yonder spheres su' lime
Feuled their j!r.i( notes to sound th* march of Time,
Thy joyous youtli began—but not to fade—
W hen all the sister Plantes have decayed ;
W hen wrapt m fire the realms of ether, glow,
And Heaven's last thunder shakes the world halovv.
Thou undismayed shall o'er the ruins smile
And light thy torch at Nature’s funeral pile."
0 early friendship will pourtray
Upon thia consecrated day,
And blew our chuaeo Qi eon of May,
And crown her while we eing thia fay.

Welcome thrice welcome Spirit of May
Blessings be round thy airy way.
Come with their train of rainbow hues
r Os hoveling clouds and falling dewa—
Conic to our garden beds and bowers,
And cover them over with leaves and flowers.
Already the summer bird is there,
And he sings aloud to the warm, warm air,
There he carols strong and free,
And his song and joy are alt for thee.
Come to our b isora Spirit of May
We wou’d not be sad, when the earth is gay,
Wake in the heart that is newly strung
The love that dwells with the fair and young;
Give to their full and speaking eyes,
Visions that glitter like sunset skies;
Waft them with quick and favouting gales,
Filling with music their glancing sails,
Theirs be a flight o’er a summer sea
Whets nothing of cloud or storm can be.
Come from thy palace Spirit of May!
Where flowers ever blossom and fountains play,
Bring with thee plenty’■ brimming horn,
And tb* tears of evening and dewa of morn,
a Build thy throne in the clear blue air,
And forth shall be bright, and heaven be fair,
d And the winds that rushed from the rolling cloud,
And lifted their voices and called aloud,
Shall sink to a soften and mellower ton*
Like ga'es from a happy island blown.
h Then the sea shall glow in its darkest bed,
' And Ijfc shall revisit tho mountain head,
Ami the rslley (bill laugh, am! the forest ring,
For joy ahall be out on bis glittering wing;
And the old shall pause and the young shall stare,
As they hear his voice in the sunny air,
Glad shall their hearts and their spirits Ire,
When they know he is sent to tell of thee,
To tell them the Queen of Love and May,
Is now on her bright triumphal way.

Bt MISS a. A. BRKIT IIAUFT.
The melancholy days are come, tho saddest of the
year,
Os wailing winds, and naked woods, and meadow s
brown, and sera,
Heaped in the hollows ol the grove, the withered
leaves lie dead,
Tiiey rustic to the eddying gust, and to tho rabbit's
tread.
Tho robin and Iho wren ore flown, and from the
shrub the jay,
And frum the wood top calls the crow, through oil
the gloomy day.
Where ore the flowers, tho fair young flowers, that
lately sprung and stood
In brighter light and softer airs, a beaulious sister
hood !
Alas 1 they oil arc in their graves; the gentle race
offlowers
Are lying in their lowly beds, with tho fair and good
ot ours.
The min is falling where they lie, but the cold No
vember rain,
Calls not, from out the plowing earth, the lovely
ones again.
The wind flower and Iho violet, they perished long
»go,
And tho wild-rose and the orchis died amid the sum
mer's glow;
But on Iho hill the golden-rod, and tho aster in the
wood,
And iho yellow srtn-flovverby the brook, in autumn
boailty stood—
Till fell the fr st from the clear cold heaven, as falls
tho plague on men,
And the brightness of their smile was gone, from up
land, glade, and glen.
And now, when! comes the calm mild day, as still
Such days will come
To call the squirrel and the boe.from out their Winter
homos,
When the sound ol (he dropping nuts is heard, tho'
nil the frees ar > still,
And tumble in the smoky light the waters of the
rill,
wind searches for ths flowers, whose
fragrance late ho bore,
And sighs, to And them in tho wood, and by the
stream no more.
WINTER
BT MISS L. CAMFIBLn.
From Laplands hills, on an icicle car,
A gift from my autocrat subject, tho czar,
In return for my aid to his ancestor, when
I defeated the greatest of leaders, and men;
By reindeers borne on, of such courage and blood,
That they|bounded alike over mountain and flood,
I come to unite with the year—ruling powers,
To encircle the brow of our Fav’rile with flowers,
Our sceptres to yield, and our homage to pay,
XV Pheobus* young daughter, the bright Queen of
Mu}' •
Through the ijonlhs that have flown, while
creation has slept,
My watch, with the sentinel stars, has been kept,
To preserve, not destroy, as tho thought!? l3 * sup
pose,
The beauties which nature delights to disclose.
I observed, with regret, that a languor and gloom,
Eflfects of exhaustion, pervaded Iho bloom
And the verdure of earth; and to rescue from
death,
I stopped, for a season, the summeis hot breath,
And veiled this fair realm in my mantio of frost,
That no embryo blossom or fruit might ho lost.
The mother whoso brow, blending marble and
snow,
Bends over her child, which lies sleeping below,
Though warmed by a spirit sent down from above
May seem all devoid of devotion and love;
So Winter, stern bending o’er mountain & plain,
May seem with a rigor, relentless, to reign,
Yet comes, like a mother, to guard and to shield,
The grove and the garden, the forest and field;
When, refreshed by repose, with now gioncs they
bloom,
"As beauty immortal awakes from the tomb.”
The Queen then made the following address.
QUEEN OF MAY,
BT MISS FRANns WHATLXT,
In the limited range of our juvenile studies, we
have met with the history of Queens who ascen
ded their thrones in all the pomp and circum
stance of hereditary grandeur—whose brows
were oppressed with massive tiaras wrought by
mercenary art—and whose pathway was strewn
with human blossoms crushed and trampled down
in their headless career. I cannot but smile when
I contrast my state with one of these—or com
pare this our mimic pageant with that of real ma
jesty. Yet I rejoice in the past oral simplicity of
my el ctivc elevation, and would rather he the
Liege of loyal innocence, ushered into authority
hy hope, and destined to monarchize a single day,
than to wield for life a transmitted sceptre over a
trembling multitude. The gems of my coronet
have never been dimmed dy tbe tears of toil—
"bright, pure from Floral mine” they eclipse the
brilliant fossil-flowers that twine the temples of
royalty. And what Italian loom can emulate the
blue and fleecy firmament that now ’ocr canopies
youi happy sovereign? Would any hers ex
change the ermine of a spotless heart for that
which interlines the purple vesture ? Nol not
one. Let us then remember my young friends I
that there is a moral regalia to which we may
laudably aspire—a wisdom more precious far i
than rubies, which with the aid of our excellent
preceptress we may all attain—that respect to her
and our parents—clemency to our dependents,
furbearsnee with regard to our mutual frailties
and gralituto to our Creator, are jewels far more
decorative than those contained within imperial
caskets ((dressing Hope.) It has ever been
youraim to represent life as a perpetual May
day—iu spring and summer thrill, with rapture,
as you carol forth your lark-like melodies, nor
mark how time is brushing the fairy-gold from
the wings of hei butterflies—nr shaking them//-
ei of the loveliest roses from his chrystal hour
glass, Autumn beholds you pluming yourself
for flight, yet caressingly clings to your shadow
when no longer blest with yous beam. Even
winter mistaking the echo for the spirit of your
song is often deluded into a dream of renewed
youth. Thus the seasons of existence close,
while you justify your classic attributes, and
prove a counterpoise fur all its evils. You have
not crowned me for the Jirst time this day—l
liave worn a chaplet of your wreathing on many
other occasions. In temporal Hope I confide for
the gifts of fame, friendship, and felicity, to be
enjoyed by our gentle inslruclicss as well as
ourselves. On spiritual Hope I rely for their ex
tension even unto immortality.
Having concluded, a baud of music was heard,
Whose lively notes attested how cheerfully its
voluntary subjects yielded tho tribute due to
worth and excellence. 80/ne waved their ban
ners in token of their joy, while others evinced
their gladness by dancing. All adjourned to the
Masonic Hail in the evening and continued this
last amusement with buoyancy and elastic spir
its. We need not enquire how many, in alter
years, will recur to the innocent amusements of
this May-day festival with a melancholy pleas
ure, or how often fancy will wander back to the
recollections inspire! by its return. Time will
bring convincing proof that the delights of this
day had a zest which subsequent pleasures will
scarcely equal, even though imagination may
now gililjthe futurity of every sharer in them, with
the brightest rays of nope and expectation.

MONEY MARKET.
Monday, May I.
We are still in the midst of the revolutionary
procraa in money matiera On Saturday many
of the laucy and uank stocks rose, but as it was
settling dsy, the advance will hardly stand. —It i«
highly probable that ihey will recede ail ibis week.
Fanures also continue, and the aggregate of
houses that tell last week, are nearly, il not quite
as great as any week during the revulsion. —
There were no overgrown houses among them,
but some were large enough. .. ,
Since the large meeting in Masonic Hall, and
the expected meetings throughout to country, the
pressure is gradually running into a general and
universal panic. Those large speculators and
overtraders who have tailed, would fain persuade
the community that the whole city and country are
bankrupt. We dl! not believe it, because we
have the evidence before our eyes of a healthy and
active business in all the middling interests of
life, that have conducted their affairs on proper
principles. Last week there was a very lively
tea sale—and among all the articles that has
not become the objects of fecent speculaions,
thiAe is lit le overtrading and no extreme press
nre. Cotton lands, real estate, pa per money,tobacco,
stocks, flour, grain foreign dry goods, ard a few
other articles have engrossed the recent mania.
All these various branches of trade are therefore
in the midst of a terrible crisis—but the great
mass of tile community are still alive and industri
ous. A revulsion in so many branches of trade
is, howevet, felt in all others to a certain extent.
Consumption is diminished and custom cast off.
Il is now said that the United States Bank will
Hot accede to the proposition of the Bank of En
gland. Wc understand that this resolution has
been taken by the U, 3. Bank, from a belief that
the Bank of England has already withdrawn all
aid from the American bankers in London. The
advances made hy the' Bank of England, and
their proposition transmitted to this country for
the U. S. Bank, were based on the belief that no
such scries of failuies would take place here as
wo have seen. It is, therefore, the opinion of the
U. S. Bank that, ere this time, the explosion has
taken place across the water, —hence their refusal
to accede to a proposition to draw on England, on
a condition which they cannot meet. The specie
is in the country, but it is not under the control
of the banks. Even specie is still flowing in, in
stead of going out. During the last few weeks,
we perceive that tho following sums have been
imported and exported from the ports name.
Purls. Imported. Exported,
New York, $240,000 $124,000
New Orleans, 449,000
Boston, 35,000
$724,000 $124,000
By this it appears that there is a balance in
our favor sf $600,000. There is, however, cer
tain quantities exported which never reach the
Custom House. Neatly all the gold that goes to
England is transmitted by private conveyance.
