Form erly these harmonies were added only to the bass notes of the instrument; these notes bting produced by large pipes, it is easy to introduce the smallcrnipps which produce the harmonies. But, the treble notes being produced by small pipes, it was not attempted to produce their harmonies by pipes still smaller. Hence the the treble part of tho scale the notes of which were formed by pipes merely in unison, had not the richness and briliiancy of the bass.— Mr. Hill, however, has found means to add the harmonic sounds to the treble notes as well as tlift bass, and has thus obtained notes of equal quality throughout the whole compass of the IMMttKzamerr, sar— n ■ ~ From the Hew York Journal of Commerce.

The late State Convention «t Grccaville, for a first ineclii g in the up|H;r disiricts, was highly sittVfnctory, and will no doubt tend ve ry much to increase llicard nr, among the up per country laimera, fertile improvement i.ow evidently commenced there. The great diffi culty t<> contend against, is the scanty proven- dor‘'thal we ore obliged to give our »:<ick in winter, trad unless better provision can be made for ilicrn, than ha* h*reiofem been the case, tho improvement so desirable, cannot lie effected. That our Fariheia are well a- wnre of thi*fact, is apparent from the circum stance, that many of them tho present year have adopted, (though but in a small way as yet,) tho practice of planting the enwpen in drills, after thgir small grain crops are harvest- cd, with a view of siving tilts pea-virus, as winter food lor their cattle. U’lien this method is causedi into effect, to the extent to which it is yet destined to attain, we shall hear n't complaints about the want of good markets in the State, for Beet, butter, ftini even Mutton, and we shall be no longer dependent upon the N>>rth for these articles, and obliged tn supply our tables in Columbia mnl Charleston, with Goshen Butter, and Nor th! rn Beef dud Tongues. Evory thing in regard Jo this article as fod der, depends upon the manner iu which it is cured, and this will bo found very s.niple in deed, when properly understood. I am certain no articluof provender can ex ceed the pea-vine, if well saved, and the leaves preserved, which tmv bo done perfectly, in certainly, that the English and other transnt laniic markets, would be forced up, and a large profit made out of the foreign consumer. Froin the middle of November to tho middle of Jan uary, this condition of affairs continued, and in New York on th" 12ih of tho latter month, tho highest point was attained, fair uplands being quoted at 10J a 10| cents, and fair Orleans at 11 cents to I1.J cents per pound. The first renctinn produced in the American markets was by tho news received on the 16th of Janu ary from Liverpool, of a slight decline in tiiat town, the advices stating that tho Manchester spinners, instead of being willing to pay a spe culative price for tho staple, or even the ad vance already cstnbli-hed, were combining to gether, not only to prevent the market going higher, but to effect u reduction. The decline in price was, however, but temporary, and at the beginning of February, the feeling in favor of advance was again predominant. On the 20 li of February, Liverpool accounts were re ceived in New York, stating that fair uplands had reached 6d. and fair Orleans 6.J per ll>„ with the report of the extensive sales which had taken place in that town during the week end ing theSd of February, amounting to 103 500 hales, exceeding by 8.CG0 hales the memorable week ending the 23d of April, 1825, and the greatest amount ever sold’in the same time. It appears, however, that this intelligence did not crcat- the wished ferstimuhis, and prices droop, ed under the disappointment prevailing. The steamer that left for England on the 1st of March took out increased estimates of the crops, and the amount was roundly stated ns being 2,000,000 bales, which, with positive or ders, to sell at the market prico, under the pe culiar feeling in America and England, soon brought the fall that for some time previously, had threatened to occur. In America it was evident that prices could not be much longer supported, since the total receipts of the article amounted to 1,181,694 bales, while the total exports were only 419.SS2 bales, of which but 282,47-4 bales had been shipped in Great Bri tain, the stocks hi all the ports in the mean while having run up to 620.094 bales, of which New York alone held 152,000 bales. The consequence of this position of affairs was, that n general dcsiro to sell became apparent, and the decline in New York market in the month of March was fully lAd. per lb. In the [ month of April, prices further declined, the Liverpool accounts showing the effects of the increased estimates, a ml the largo shipments making for export from America. During the months of May, June, and July, prices remain ed without materiul alteration, the fluctuation not exceeding $r. per lb. Since August a further fall has taken pfecc of lie. per lb-, the result of tho unusually heavy stocks, and tlie flattering prospects of the next crop. It is said, and most truly, that the fluctuations here exhi bited satisfactorily demonstrate the filly of transacting business on the faith of the early es timates whieh are Irom lime to time made of the crop, and those probably the production of intoroatod ptrtien, who am ic-aily io seize every opportunity they can, ut whatever risk or cost, to make au advantageous market for them- selves. The total receipts for cotton for the years ]843-4, have amounted to 2,030,409 bales. The manufacturers of America have evo coiilJ not penetrate ; tlie complicated ma chinery which supplied them with breath, and made every one of them answer to the slightest touch of the musician who hade them speak. No one Who has seen these things can fail to be convince d that the mechanism of a reat or gan is one of the highest triumphs of human art. To give our readers some idea of the im mensity (wiir.my well call it) of a great organ, we may mention some circumstances respect ing a leiv of the most remarkable among them ; and, for this purpose, it is unnecessary to trav el into foreign countries, for the British organs now rival ^if they do not surpass) those in any other part of the globe. The Haarlem organs, so long ta'ked of as one of tho wonders f the world, is so no longer; it is equalled in mag nitude and quality by some of our own. The largest organ in England, we believe, is that of Christ Church, in Newgate street. It has above four thousand pipes, and above a hund'xd of these can be sounded by touching a single key. or, in other words, form a single note. The organ of St. Paul’s has 1,797 pipes; U’est- m nistor Abbey, 1,524; St. Sepulchre, in Skin ners street, 2,500 : Exeter Hull, 2.187 ; Bir mingham, nearly 3,000; Y*ork, above 4,000. The In gest pipe of the organ (producing the lowest C of the scale) is thirtv-two feet long, and of proportionate diameter ; and a current ofair, to produce tlie sound, must rush through such a space with the force of a tempest. The organ is an instrument of great antiquity. The first on record is said to have been sent by the Emperor Charlemagne to the Caliph liaroun Alraschid—an incident of which Ma- dime de Genlis lias made a very effective use in her once celebrated romance, Lcs Chevalier* du Cygnc. No doubt that instrument must have been merely the embryo of the organ ; and it lias risen, by slow and gradual degrees, to its present magnitude mid perfection. And even at present it has by no means reached a stationary pnint; fur somo of the greatest im provements are also tho most recent. Those organ-builders who have distinguish ed themselves by their inventive faculty in en larging the powers of the instrument have en titled themselves to honor and celebrity qs artists; and some of their names hold an emi. neut place in musical history. Of great En glish organ-builders, the oldest were the cele brated contemporaries and rivals, Harris and Smith, whoso contention, at the time of the erection of the fine organ still standing in the Temple Church, will long be memorable a mong musicians. About the end of the reign of C iarles the Second (we forget thcycai) they were both engaged, each to erect an organ in different pants of the church ; the preferable in strument to be retained, and the other remov cd. They spent about twelve months in the work, and tlie instruments were then submit ted to trial. For a long lime they were play ed upon by the greatest musicians in England —Blow, Purcell, and others—before crowds of lisfeoers ; and the matter gave rise to a feud between die partisans of t e rivals, in which all the great world of London was involved.— The Hon. Roger North says, in Ins musical memoirs, that the competition between Smith and Harris was carried on with such violence hy the friends on both sides, that they “were ted in a number of the more recent built organs, particularly that in the New Music Hall at Edinburg, where its effect is exquisite. It is also used in the immense Christ Church organ, now in course of completion ; and the Bir mingham organ has lately been remodelled by its builder, and the new system of harmonics, besides other improvemets, introduced. The organ has been cultivated chiefly in Protestant countries, where, being the only instrument employed in the service of the church, it perfoims the functions of a whole orchestra. The importance of its duties has thus led to a development of its powers, which has not taken place in Roman Catholic coun- triqs. For three centuries the Protestant States of Germany have been the nursery of organists. It is there that the only great school of com position and performance has been formed; and England is the only other country that has profited by it. Southern Germany—tho land oforclu-stral music—has never been distingu ished for its organs or organists. In Italy the use of the organ is utterly frivolous and con temptible ; and in France, though large organs have been built, li’tle is known of their true and legitimate use. The present English or ganists— VVeslev, Adams, Novello, Goss, Turle, Ganutlett, and others who might be named—form the most leirned and accom plished class of our musicians ; and their pe culiar qualities may justly be ascribed to the noble instrument which they employ, and to the grand and profound style of composi’ioa with which their education aud habits have renderel them conveisant. klo in his eye ; marching off-along the “Levee’ apparently looking for a house to let, hum ming— Yankee Doodle come along !

The thing produced a sensation, at once, among sailors, pedlars, levee-laborers, and all sorts of stragglers. Our professor borrowed an old rotten awning, hung it up, and dividing his room into two, put his assistant at the door to take iu quarters, turned a tin cup inside down in the middle of an old rickety table, got a vial of vinegar, pot of tar, a bitile of whiskey, and various other well known odo riferous affairs arranged around him; a >d. with a black skull-cap on his head, and a red stick in his hand, he made no bad “splurge’’ at the representation of a modern Faust.—Ma dame Lud might have taken a lesson frem him (‘•you understand m • now V’) and Herr Alex ander should have seen hint. He drew a mys tic ring on tlie ceiling, with charcoal, filling it up with most indescribable “curlicues,” right over the tabic, and business soon commenced.

You seldom see an American lady accom panied in her walks, rides, or drives, except on Sundays, by ngentleman. It would be a waste of lime, and, consequently, a useless ex penditure of money, to indulge in the gentle and refining societyXif the female sex. Young, delicate, and pretty women are met unprotected clad in the gayest colors. I believe they nre not denied tiny of the innocent enjoyments pro cured by dress and female society, and they may bo seen pacing tho streets, from store to store,aud fioin boarding house to boarding house, shoping, and paying visits. This cus tom of young married women not having a home of their own, but inhabiting those nests of gossip, Called boarding housed, seems to me injudicious and represensiblc.

The following little story, which belongs to the New York Mercury, is decid dly one of the best things produced during the late cam paign ; and. inasmuch as alt the States hereabouts have concluded their labors with the presidential contest, we think we shall run no risk of oversetting the constitution, or tread ing upon the most fastidious toe in the universe, by affording our readers a chance for the same lieirty laugh into which we were betrayed, spite of the inultitude of units, tens, and thou sauds, which the election returns are constant ly whirling through our inner man. Here’s the anecdote. Jonathan w .lks in, takes a scat, and looks at Sukey. Sukey rakes up the fire, blows out tho candle, and don’t look ut Jonathan.

Tea as a Xulrilivc Substance- Chamber.*’ Edinburgh Journalgites tire lol lowing in-reiulioft to the* principled of the Chi nese herb: At a recent meeting of ths Paris Academy of Science, M. Pel got read a paper on the cheiniu.tt combination of tea. M. Pehgot stated, that fa contains essential principles of nutrition fir exceeding iu importance its stimulating properties ; and shows that as a stimuluul lea is in every respect one of the m «st desirable articles of habitual use. One of liis experi ments on the nutritive qualities of tea, as com pared with those of soup, was by no mtans ia favor of the 1 :tter. The most remarkable pro ducts of tea are : 1st. the tannin or astringent property; 2d. an essen ial od, to which it owes its aroma, and which has a great influence on its price in commerce ; and 3J. a substance rich in azole, and chrystalizahl \ called tkeine, which is also met with in coffee, and is fre quently called cafeinc. Independently of there three substances, there are eleven others of less importance, which enter more or less into the composition of tea of all tlie kinds imported in to Europe. What was more essential, as re gards the chemical and hygienic character of the plant, was to ascertain the exact propor tion of the merited (nitr-'gc .ized) principle which, it confa'ns. M- Peligot began by de termining the total amount of az.oie in tea, and finished by find ng that it was from 20 to 30 per cent greater than ia any other kind of veg etable. M. Pehgot states, that by reason of this quantity of azote, and the existence of cafeine in the tea leaf, it is a true aliment. Season of Back-Wheat Cakes.
