fee been divorced- —that nine-teutKs of those who sing , and a still larger proportion of those who eat , believe that those two functions are carried on by precisely the sftine organs . The jaeeixaaism and p hysiology of the yoice , the universal instrument of music , is incredibly obscure : the very organs that work , in a musical sense are not definitively known . Physiologists are meagre to the last degree ; Professor "Willis's essay remains among the tantalizing explorations ^ lfVa ^ J and the inquiries which Mr . John Bishop , the . surgeon , i ' a knovrn to have been making for some years , have not yet resulted in a complete form , if even he can be said to have reported progress . The anatomist of the vocal organs is without guide in the practical application of his knowledge . Yet the very slightest examination is sufficient to show , that much of the existing methods of tuition , purely empirical and coniectural ; is worse than waste , entailing fatigue on the pupil , misleading practice ^ and sometimes destroying that which it wag intended to develope . * .

nished "by the intercommunication of members , and especially by their intercommunication with amateurs who pursue the auxiliary sciences of mechanics aud ^ physiology . . . < . ¦ . .,,, ,,, Among the best results of such regular gatherings also will be a better survey of the aesthetics of the art . What is the precise relation of music to expression , to language , to national manners and customs P ^ Musicians have only begun to aid unprofessional speculators in an inquiry essential to a true understanding of their art ; a branch of science recorded in regard to painting and sculpture centuries ago ; although in all the arts ,
every year expands the View of future possibilities . A musical public opinion has its elements amongst us ; but the nonsense one hears as to preference for this or -that school , Overman or Italian , foreign or native , without the silightest definitions as to what constitutes the essence of any such school , attests the infantile crudity of public opinion . Bring those
elements together ; and the musical public Opinion , then beginning to exist in an intelligible shape , will begin to develope itself intelligibly . Meanwhile , the Musical Institute is likely to prove one of the most agreeable and creditable places of resort that the metropolis caTn furnish i its establishment is an historical event .

Oeianr Os The Human Race.— I Believe Fur...
OEianr os the Human Race . — I believe further that the origin of the human race is not connected with any given place , hut is to he sought evervwheVe over the face of the earth : and that it is an idea more worthy of thie power and wisdom of the Creator , to assume that he gave to each zone and each climate its proper inhabitants , to whom that zone and climate would be the most suitable , than to assume that the human species has degenerated in such innumerable instances . —NiebuJufs IAfe and Letters . EtfCUJSH CoNVKESATiON .--The superficiality and insipidity of nearly al ^ the conversations to which : I have listened , or in which I have joined , is really depressing . As far as I hear , little is , said about politics , which is a good thing ,- — -much better than our German mania for going beyond our depth on such subjects ; but , that narrative and common-places form the whole staple of conversation , from which all philosophy is excludcd ,-r-that enthusiasm and loftiness of expression are entirely wanting , depresses me more than any personal negket of which , as a stranger , I might have to complain ; for of this my share is not large , and I bear it easily . —Niehtihr ^ s Life and Letters . Idealisms . —You accuse me of a propensity to idealise . I am sorry that you do not give me credit for sufficient true-heartedness to love the Beautiful devotedly without the necessity of colouring it more highly by any imagination . If it were as you say , I should be fated to turn perpetually to new objects , till cold experience gradually taught me better , and warned me against such folly with bitter mockery , —till I sank into hopeless misery . Such a warmth is not that of life , but tho unhealthy and transitory glow of fever . — NiebuJir ' s Life and Letters . Convictions . —Deep in the foundations of his character , like the immovable blocks whereon great edifices repose , each man has to lay down for himself certain thoughts , sooner or later , of passing consequence , got out of secret and manifold communings regarding the vast mystery of hero and horeafter ; and on these thoughts again , and the more happily and grandly as these thoughts aro strong , there will still base and pile themselves , in some loose ordor or other , conclusions , flontiments , and diverse predilections , extracted painfully or othorwiso out of the experience that is gone through of life and its ways , and then employed back again in the scrutiny and contemplation of all that tho world presonta . —North JBritish Meview , No .

Turner's Shipwreck. About? To Be Engrave...
TURNER'S SHIPWRECK . About ? to be engraved by Cousins * Turner ' s ' ^ Shipwreck" has beeri exhibited in the usual , way , at the house of JVIessrs . Paul and Dominic Colnaghi . It is esteemed one of his finest works , before his manner had grown so eccentric and unruly , and it is a very striking scene . The hulk of the great ship lies on her beam ends , the mass forming a kind of wall that shuts in the view to the left of the spectator ; under the lee , boats are engaged in picking up the passengers , many of whom are still seen clustering on the wreck . A misty ,-murky light gleams away to windward , lending a glare of horror to the conflict of waters and wind . Described in general terms , the picture would tell as one of unqualified
greatness ; and yet it is not so . There is a confusion in the painting as well as in the scene . Turner laboured , perhaps , under the false idea , that to paint a storm with effect , there should he a storm also in the palette . And some traits of the scene are positively wrong , such as the angular and even quadrate forms into which the waters are tossed—a trait which we doubt on the windward side of billows , however vehemently heaving and confusedly broken . Call it a great quasi-finished sketch , under correction , and it is a fine conception powerfully indicated , but it fails of perfect truth . For the engraver it furnishes an " indication" proportionately powerful ; and he will oe able to soften its inaccuracies , while he will probably bestow a little judicious light on its obscurities . We hire no doubt that it will be a fine engraving .
