Mr. Editor: —l have made two inventions for
the purpose of facilitating pupils in pursuing their
musical studies.
By means of one. pupils can ascertain, in one or
two minutes, in w hat key they are to play—wheth
er in the .Major or Minor mode—w hat Sharps and
Flats are at the signature—whetln*r the piece is in
common or triple time, and what they have to
count—how the scales are to be fingered. <Vc.—
The instrument ia so constructed that every thing
is concealed from their view, except that for which
they have immediate use.
The other is simply an instrument for I tea ting
time. lam aware that .Mr. Maelzel has an inven
tion fur this purpose, but it cannot be bad at a cost
less than ten or twelve dollars —an additional ex
|ieii'*e, parents do not feel willing to incur.
These inventions, us well as the manner of de
monstration, can he seen at my residence, first
house above Hr. Garvin's. V. LATASTE.

IKrWe clip the following from the commercial
department of the Boston Daily Advertiser, of Au- i
gust 7th.
(■ultou.— After a long season of extreme dullness
and inactivity, some demand is observable at the
close of onr report, hoth from manufacturers and
for exportation—which has resulted so far in the
salesof ahoiit loot) hales, principally of New Or
leans and Mobile middling and middling fair qual
ities, a! 8 a Mlc. per Hi. 6 ms. Some parcels of 159
nnd 310 hale lots have sold at better prices than
were asked a few weeks since—show ing an im
provement in these instances of I a 7e. pur lb.
NEW OR LEAN'', Ang. 8. —(lot ton. —Arrived
since the 31st nil. of Louisiana and Mississippi 971
hales, Tennessee 20, Mobile 150, Arkansas 7 to- ;
geiher 1151 hales. Cleared in the same lime for
Liverpool 1800 bales, Havre 2047, Bordeaux 53ti
Genoa 3710. New York 2304, Boston 412, Phila
delphia 282—together 10.130 hales—making a re- i
dneiion in stock of 8,079 hales, and leaving on j
haul, inclusive of all on shipboard not cleared on
the 7th instant, a stock of 22,939 hales.
Our last weekly report left the Cotton market j
with the stock actually on sale reduced to the limit- :
cd amount of 25 10 to 30.KJ hales, the greater pan .
held at rales rather above the views of the few re- j
inaining buyers.and the market,consequently, pre
senting a dull appearance. Since then the Irans
iidHii have been of an extremely limited charac
ter, summing up for the entire week only about
1200 hales, at very irregular prices, hut generally
in accordance w ith our prev ions quotations, which
are therefore continued. The receipts have been
less than the sales, and the stock now actually on j
the market does not exceed 2000 bales, the remain- !
der of the slock, represented hy onr tables being on
ship-hoard or waiting shipment, with a small por- 1
tion under limits, in factors’ hands. Yesterday a
small bale of the new crop (about 200 pounds) was
received by -Messrs. Wm. Lauglilin vV Co., from
the plantation of Gov. McNutt, Warren county,
Mississippi, being the first receipt of the season,
and right days later than the first receipt of last
year. It, however, is represented by brokers as
not fully matured, and badly cut in the proeess of ■
ginning, being doubtless forced forward premature- j
ly to gain the eclat of sending the first bile to mar- !
ket. This being the case, it affords no correct cri- i
lerion of the forwardness of the crop, or of its pro- |
mine in regard to quality. It has been sold at 14 j
cents per lb., a mere fancy price, as usual in such j
cases. The particulars of the sales of the week j
are as follows—63 bales at f»7. 73 at 6J, 55 at 6 a !
77, 120 at (11, 175 (in several lots) at fii, 20 at 0,
325 at 71. 100 at —, and 300 in several lots, at va- i
rions prices.

Sugar, Louisiana. —There lias not been much
animation in the Sugar market during the past
week, the demand having been almost exclusively
confined to limited parcels for the supply of the city
and neighborhood, the sales averaging about 50
bhds. per day. As regards prices, however, the
light stock enables holders to maintain them at
fully our previous rales —say fur inferior to ordina
ry 4* a 41. common 5 a 57, fair 5i a prime (.*7 a
64, strictly choice (in email lots) 61 a 77 cents per
lb. We are not advised of any sales on plantation,
and tiiere are few or no crops now remaining in
planters' hands. Arrived during the past week 323
nhds. Cleared for N. 3 ork 344 liluis. and 80 bbls. j
Molasses —The limited supply, and a moderate- |
ly fair demand for good lots, have led to some lit
tle improvement in prices, and we now quote for
fair to prime parcels, in bright barrels, 20 a 22 cents
per gallon. Inferior and ordinary lots may still be
nought at 15 a 18 cents, and some very poor lots are
occasionally sold for less. Arrived during the past :
week 242 hbls. Cleared for N. York 6(57, Charles
ton 31 bbls.
Bacon. —The demand for this article during the
past week has been moderate, but prices -have been
well sustained at our former range—sl a 51 cents
per lb. for Sides, 31 a 3i for Shoulders, and 6 to 9 j
cents per lb. for bagged and extra cured Hams.
I^ard. —The Lard market, in the absence of any
considerable demand for export, has relapsed into j
its former dullness, and the only sales to our know
ledge are 1100 kegs, in three lots, at 51 asl cents j
per lb.
Bagging and Bale Ro}te. —The market has con- j
tinned to display great dullness since our last, and
the sales, which are principally in small lots, have j
been at prices ranging from 97 to 10 lor Bagging, ,
and 4 a 41 cents for Rope, though doubtless a Irac- ;
tion lower would be taken for any large quantity, j
Whiskey. —ln our last review we left the W his
key market pretty firm at 18 cents per gallon for
rectified, and it has continued without much vari- i
atiou. though a lot of 200 bbls. was sold from store
on Wednesday at HI per gallon. Accounts of a
rise in the Ohio have rendered the market very :
dull for a day or two past. We quote Rectified
171 a 18, and Common 20 cents per gallon, at
Which we notice one or two small sales.
L freights.— ln the early part of the week, when
I vessels were very scarce and shipments difHeult a
British ship was taken for Liverpool at 9-11*1.; a
hark ;u 17-3iid.; and an American ship at
lf-d2d. lor (of ton. Since then. have he
come father more plenty, and as other-, are expect
ed. while at the same time it is protiable that gov
; eminent will require few or no further ships as
transports, the rates have given way. Two ships
have been taken for Liverpool at Id. for cotton.
3IOI)i LI., AI GUS 1 B.— Cotton. —The receipts
since the Ist instant, amount to 120 bales, (corres
ponding week last year 23) and the exports t 06230
bales, leaving a stock on hand ami on shipboard
not cleared last evening of 12,331 bales, against 472
! same lime last season
i lie stock now offering is estimated at 1500 b.
| and that unsold at 6 a 7000 bales. I’rices
the week have remained uniform and firm at our
previous quotations, which we continue with the.
■ remark that the market closes very quietly but stiff.

ELECTIONS.
The returns which we received last night
from the states of North Carolina, Illinois,
Kentucky and Missouri, are so partial ami
contradictory, that we have declined publish
ing them. V\ lien the returns from these |
states become more complete, we shall insert !
them. At present, they are only calculated j
; to mislead, as both parlies are exulting at
sectional triumphs, while it is exceedingly j
difficult to tell which parly has the best right
to shout the loudest.

The news by the steamer Great Western !
reached Baltimore by the boat at 11 o’clock
last night, the accident of the telegraph pre
j venting us from receiving any tidings of her
I arrival until a copy of VVilmer & Smith’s
i European Times from our Philadelphia agent
j came to hand. We are not informed at
what lime she reached New York, but pre- |
: sume it must have been at an early hour i
; yesterday morning.
! The news she brings is but six days later I
than that received by the last steamer.
The elections seemed to engross the en- j
j tire attention of the press and the people of \
I France.
In Spain the Queen’s marriage was the '
general topic of discussion, with the claims j
; of the different candidates for her hand.
The harvest in the south of France is ma
king some progress, but the result does not
seem to be very satisfactory. The extraor
dinary heat ofthe temperature in June and
July lias caused a notable deficiency in the
crops.
The Queen has been pleased to approve of !
Mr. James Flora, as Consul at Manchester j
for the United .States of America.
It appears that the failure in the apple crop |
i is likely to be general throughout Europe.
It is stated that the Russian government ;
is in consternation at the apprehended total
| failure of the present harvest.
Private letters received at Paris give a
I detailed account of a horrible massacre of i
j some French and English at Madagascar. i
The ship Matilda arrived at Liverpool, |
i from Shanghae, had 40,000 Chinese bricks ;
on board. A previous importation of 15,000 1
; had taken place a few days before.
In 1843, the quantity of iron made weekly j
In North and South Staffordshire was 520
! tons: the make now amounts to 1630 tons. j
The “learned blacksmith,” Mr. Ellihu Bur- '
j rift, continues to excite much attention in 1
! England. He has been lecturing successfully
i in Manchester.
The Psyche French frigate will leave i
Brest shortly for the Gulf of Mexico, to con- :
vey thither the new French Plenipotentiary, i
The Chamber of Commerce at Liverpool '
lead addressed a highly complimentary letter ■
to Mr. McLane, for his exertions in bringing j
about a settlement of the difficulties between j
tbe United Stales and Great Britain on the ;
Oregon territory. The letter from the Cuam
ber says;
Although the consciousness of having la- j
bored to promote the welfare of mankind, is
in itself a great reward, it cannot fail to afford i
you additional pleasure to learn that those
who have anxiously watched the progress of
the negotiations, now happily terminated,
have duly appreciated the patience, ability,
and temper by which your conduct has been
distinguished. Whilst you have carefully
maintained the honor of the United States,
' yon have largely contributed to save both na- |
lions from the horrors of war. The highest !
renown belongs to such labors, and their true
value will not be measured by the successful
termination of tiie Oregon question alone.
Mr. McLane appeared greatly pleased with i
so gratifying a compliment emanating from
that important body, and expressing, as it did, ■
the strong feelings of respect entertained for
his character, and of the high sense of the
efficient services rendered, both to America
and England, in the peaceful settlement of I
; this question, of which Lord Aberdeen had
also previously, in the House of Lords, borne
honorable testimony. To this address Mr. !
McLane made an excellent reply, from which j
we extract the following:
“I agree with you, gentlemen, in thinking
that the temper manifested by both nations
in the settlement of the question ought to be
an example to the world at large, and, may I ;
| not add, that it affords a sure guarantee "of
j the cordial amity by which our future inter- !
course w ill be distinguished. It is gratifying j
to reflect that the terras upon which the ques
tion, at one time apparently so critical, has i
| been adjusted, have been generally satisfac
: lory to the governments and tbe people of
hotii countries, leaving nothing behind to dis
turb the harmony of our future relations,
j It is also worthy of congratulation, that by
the convention recently concluded* the only
remaining question growing out of the treaty 1
! of 1753, has been finally settled, and that j
! hereafter our people, though of separate na
tions, acknowledging a common origin and
I history, speaking the same language, alike
boasting of constitutional liberty, regulated by
j law, and intimately associated in commerce
i and the arts, may start forward in a new ca
reer of international intercourse, without ap
prehension from any ancient cause of preju
dice or ill will. No one, I assure you, more
fervently hopes that the future may remain
as free from any fresh cause of disagree
ment.”
The Potato Rot. — We are sorry to say,
says the European Times, the potato disease
I has made its appearance to an alarming ex
j tent in the sister kingdom. Mention is made
in the journals, from nearly every district of
i Ireland, tiat the potato rot has appeared in
; this year’s crop, and many of them express
I gloomy apprehensions of the result.
The yew Pope, —The German journals
relate numerous instances of the Christian
; humility ofthe new Pupe. “Ilis cook (says
1 oneof the journals) one day served lor his
dinner seven different dishes; Pius IX, sent
for him, and told him that when cardinal he
never had more than three, and that he
would not now change his habit. Tlis holi
ness has reduced almost all the expenses of
his household. Four thousand Roman scudis
which were annually spent in rare plants have
been cut off from the budget, and half of the
horses of the pontifical stables have been
sold.”
Lord John Russell's Sugar Measure. —
Wilmer & Smith's Liverpool Times gives
the following notice of this new project of
Lord John Russell’s :
“The government is now' fairly involved in
the meshes of the sugar question. Lord John
Russell propounded his measure on Monday
last, and the discussion on its merits was to
have commenced in the House of Commons
last night, hut, in consequence of the death
o( his brother, it has been postponed until
Monday. I’he debate will extend over sev
eral nights, and the result cannot be known
until the next packet. The features are
briefly these;
The colonial duty of 14s. is to continue as
at, present. The existing duty on foreign
free-labor sugar is 235. 4d. It is to be re
duced at once to 215., and is to apply equally
to all foreign sugar, free as well as slave
grown. A scale of duties is to extend over
five years, droping in the first year a shilling,
in the second eighteen pence, in the third the
same, in the fourth the same, in the fifth the
same, at the end of which time all distinction
between colonial and foreign sugar is to
cease. This, in brief, is an outline of the
plan,
“It is a bold and comprehensive plan—
bold, because it annihilates at once the fool
ish and uncandid distinction between slave
and free-labor sugar—comprehensive because
it includes every sugar growing country in
its grasp,”
IRELAND.
The new government have now nearly I
completed their appointments in this coun- '
try. The law officers, as enumerated in our {
paper of the 19th, have entered upon (heir j
duties. The death of Mr. Goold, Master in
Chancery, has resulted in the promotion of j
Mr. Halchelf, Q. (J. This learned gentle- !
man is well spoken of by all parties.
The difficulties among the Repeal War
dens still continues; and the weekly meet
mgs of the Association are occupied in con- }
stant bickerings, paralysing the best exer
tions of the friends of Irish freedom.
The Evening Post says:—“Lord Cloncur- !
rv has resumed the duties of a Privy Coun- I
cillorand a magistrate for all Ireland, which |
he had discontinued pending the reign of j
Lord De Grey, of Clontai f celebrity, and the .
most unconstitutional administration of Sir ■
Edward Sugden.”
LIVERPOOL, July 24.—Since our circular of
the 18th instant, by last steamer, there has been a
fair demand for cotton, but scarcely equal to the j
quantity offering, so that the market wears rather
a heavy appearance, and if there he any change I
in prices it is in favor of buyers. The
for fair to-day are 41 for Upland, 5d for Mobile, antMj
5? far Orleans. The sales for the week ended this J
evening have am mnted to £6,690 bales, of which ;
3500 have been taken on speculation and 3000 for '
export; and the American descriptions consist of I
G4lO Upland at 34 a 54, 18,800 Orleans at 3, a 6i, ,
7,380 Alabama and Mobile at 3? a 54, and 3J5 Sea
Island at 94 a U4d. per lb. The import for the I
same time has been 60,000 hales, chielly from the
United Stales. Trade generally at Manchester is ;
in a languid state, and both goods and yarns con
tinue on the decline.
[From the Union^LMouda // flight, August 10.] |
CONGRESS ADJOURNED.
Both Houses of Congress adjourned this |
day, in conformity with their joint resolu- j
tion, at 12 o’clock. The hour was consider
ed as peremptorily binding on the speakers;
but we trust it is last time that the 1
resolution for the adjournment is to be fixed
at a particular hour—for, what is the effect
to-day? Two or three of the most impor- ;
taut bills ofthe last days of the session were j
cut offby the knees. The navy pension bill
is thrown overboard, to the great detriment
of many a poor widow. The post office route |
bill, embracing, among other important fea
tures, the provision reviving the privilege ot
franking in favor of all those post offices the
salary of which does not amount to SIOO,
was overlaid. The bill confirming the
Cherokee treaty, which had been twice re
jected in the Senate on Saturday night, and
then passed by a majority of one, was lost
for want of time to act finally upon it.
The important bill which authorizes the
President to employ $2,000,000 in facilita
ting the settlement of peace with Mexico,
was actually lost by Mr. Senator Davis, of j
Massachusetts, speaking against time, whilst |
voices from the chamber were heard remon- ;
straling against him for this determined at
tempt to introduction of a resolu
tion for prolonging the session for a few j
hours. This measure, which is deemed most
important for negotiating a peace between
the two countries, and the fundamental prin- j
cipie of which was recognised by the vote j
of the Honse-of Representatives on the pas- i
sage of the bill, and by a decided vote of the j
Senate on their own resolutions,-has been
sacrificed by a senator's wasting the time of ;
the Senate until the in ineut of adjournment
had arrived.
Whatever mischief may arise from the 10.-s
of this bill, may be fairly attributed to the ;
“honorable” senator from Massachusetts.
It is unfortunate that these measures
should have failed during the last hours of j
the session; but however much we may re
gret the loss of them, we cannot hesitate to
pronounce, that this has been one of the most j
remarkable and brilliant sessions which has
ever been held within the walls of the Capitol.
Its importance has compensated for its dura
tion. Long and arduous and animated as it
has been, we rejoice that it has been con
tinued until all the great measures of reform
which the President recommended in his
message, and the interests of the country de
manded, have been tarried through, except
the graduation of the public lands. But this
; trophy remains for the next session to weave
! ar0,,,, d its brow. We shall review the great
works of the session, however, in a future
article. V\ e have no room for it tins evening.
