Whereupon the young English man was set at liberty; after a confinement in the .States prison of nearly two years.— The question now is, who ought to pay the damages, the State or the Suffolk Bank?

Dear Major, —Time flies swiftly by while we roam in this world <-f mixtures.— It -eems but yesterday when we were all to gether in a social hand, singing Psalrns and praises to the Amighty King; and vet an other twelve months have passed away, since that time. I have not been idle du ring this interval, hut have been engaged in a different cause ; yet my heart 19 with you, my prayers for your success in that glorious cause in which so many have en gaged. “Music hath charms,” and he that hath tasted its sweetness cannot forget the flow er. Once I enjoyed the blessing, and that blessing 1 cannot forget; hull have strayed off and left you for a season, and must stav yet another season, but I hope to meet yon bye and bye—if not in this world—in that world above, where sin and sorrow reigneth not, hut peare and love abounded) ever more. There ive will 9iug praises to God in tbe Highest. I meet with some of the boys now and then, and feel that all is not dull with me yet, for when we meet, we sing like we did in days of yore. Yes, 1 met with one this evening, and soon found another, and we sounded a few pieces, which cheered me up and brought to mind times that have flown sweetly by. And l met some of them last Christmas, and changed a few rounds at old 801 iety-Hill, hut I was disappointed even in that general excitement; 1 anticipated a happy Christmas with brethren E. T. P., — J. L. P., —TANARUS, W.. and the Messrs. Rees’, but failed to see a single one of them. I also expected to meet brethren J. T. H. v t w v ■FTliou oftheir tdu^B Wr- to h>- W. J|Knd r p. P. W..

Mr. Superintendent, Dear sir Suf fer me lo again appear in the columns of the Oroan; provided I don’t get lost in the at tempt, as I expect a journey after, or a pur suit of one, who acknowledges launching into the almost unfathomable deep. 1 noticed in a September No. of the Or* gan, a communication written from Gum Swamp . dated Sept. 26th 1854; this article should have been answered earlier than tbit if 1 could have had an opportunity of doing so; my paper containing the communicg* don, was lost from me up to thfs date.-** Another reason why I have delayed, in this; a greflt’poriion bf my thnfe; | fiaVe been away from home; a th'ud reason, I have* been waiting upon one better informed than myself, I however, undertake the job at this time, rather reluctantly. Ido not promise the writer of the article full satisfaction, neither shall I coincide with him. io all hit wanderings. From the fact of the article j being written from Gum Swamp . I cau ex* cuse my friend, and bear with him in the many strange opinions he entertains upon the,Science of music; 1 know that uo person placed in a Gum, can have clear conception or give light upon any subject; let It t>e what it my. My worthy friend appears to be in ad* vanee of the major poriiou of our modern and ancient writers, while they each hold settled principles and fixed modes, some rise up and affirm to the contrary, and such appears to be tbe opinion of Mr. Sikes. 1 must confess that 1 prefer to hold on id the old laud markes, and fixed principlei set forth by our ancient and modern com* pilots, notwithstanding some may hold to certain principles which 1 would lo be wrong; I would be as far from theirs as I am from Mr.’ Sikes’; 1 only want to sustain certain Theory. Mr. S., says that he has watched the Or gan, in order to gain information relative to the ascending thirds from the key. Having failed to gain the desired information, bo marfes a few suggestions. His first is this, ‘•Are the ascending major and minor thirds from the key the same, when both are keyedt on the same letter,” My friend owns that • there is a difference in the two, that is the major and minor thirds,” but he is pestered te perform the difference between the two. He says, “have we the vocal ability to per fot rn ib* difference'?” fTeTe is where Mr. SiVes wants information. Bo far at ability is concerned, I think if is as easy in one scale as it is in the other* I find no difference, that is, I have no great* er strain in singing a puce in the minor mode than I do in the major, hence 1 per* ceive that it is no more trouble to perforin • minor third than it is to perform a major.- I think we need uot be in any difficulty about vocal ability to perform either of the thirds, for if nature is left to take its course* it will need no help ; many are wont to help where there is no need of help. 1 can’t teH or say, why we should not be willing to con form to the laws of nature, —submit and let them take their certain course. If lam not deceived, it is in music like it is in every think pertaining to nature. That there are fixed laws in nature fa be governed by; I am pretty strong of opinion* that in the fulfillment of these laws, ability is sufficiently granted; no law could be fill-- ; filled without ability or power to fulfill, t | know not; why the power and ability is not framed in vocal causes, as it is in others; ’in peisuaded that some assistance will bo given in the performance of this law, as that of any other, or is necessary to be gi ven. Ido not know that changing of toe keys from one letter to another is going to make any difference in the performance of tbe thirds. We may place the minor key;
