LITERATURE.

THE SINGING BOOK. By James Turk, Organist
of Westminster Abbey, and Edward Taylor, Gresham
Professor of Music.

This is the best book on the art of singing at
sight that has yet been published, and that, because
it is the most simple. The authors in their pre-
face say :

" Let no one delude himself with the notion that
there is any " short cut " by which the power of
singing at sight can ba attained, or that he can arrive at
it by any other method or device than practice. But if
this be true, it is most desirable that the time of elemen-
tary exercise should be rendered as attractive and agree-
able as possible, that no needless difficulties should be
opposed, and no gratuitous obstacles be thrown across
the pupil's path. One of these, in our estimation, is the
addition to the regular musical alphabet of a number of
arbitrary and unmeaning syllables, Sol, La, Mi, &c.
This is usually- called, and often supposed to be, " the
Sol-fa system,' as if it were one and uniform ; whereas
no description of it can be more incorrect. Scarcely any
two writers, in modern times, hare used this plan in the
same way, or for the same purpose."
The " sol, fa" is, therefore, entirely rejected by
Messrs. Turle and Taylor as a gratuitous obstacle
thrown across the pupil's path, and the alphabetical
notation is substituted for it.

"The alphabetic notation must be known by every
musician, because it is of universal employment. No
other is used in any choir or orchestra in the kingdom.
The student may add to it some other, but he must learn
this. If he learn the names by which the notes are univer-
sally called, the addition of another set of names is a
needless addition to his labour. The preliminary exer-
cises in the following work, therefore, are either upon
the names of the notes—A, B, C, B,:c.—or, more com-
monly, upon the numbers which, of themselves, tell their
several distances. In each way, a correct idea of dis-
tance is connected with the scale. The same element—
sequence—is attached to all. The notes ascend
orde-
scend as the letters and the numbers ascend or descend."
The general arrangement of the exercises in this
book is progressive, begining with an explanation of
the various notes and their value, followed by exer-
cises in the diatonic major scales ; then come exer-
cises on the intervals for one or more voices, until
at length the learner is taught, in the section on
modulation, how to attain the power and the plea-
sure of

"Untwisting all the chains that tie
The hid !en soul of harmony."
The system upon which this work is constructed
has been tried and proved in Prussia. Messrs. Turle
and Taylor, at the conclusion of their preface, say;—
" Our own conviction of the utility of a work like the
present, is strengthened by the fact of one constructed on

ARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.'

CORN-EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
During last week, the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market, coastwise as well as by land carriage and samples,
were on a moderate scale, while those of Malt were season-
ably extensive. The fresh samples of all other articles of
home produce were on a very limited scale. From Ireland
and Scotland, the receipts of grain Were unusually small ;
they having been confined to about 4,500 quarters of Oats,
from the former, and 2,900 quarters of Barley from the latter.
The imports from abroad were, taken as a whole, even includ-
ing about 8,000 barrels of American Flour, and a few thousand
quarters of Beans, Peas, and oats,
trifling. This morning, a
mode: quantity of home-grown Wheat came
to hand from Essex and
!Cent ; but from other
parts the arrivals were small. The stands were
again scantily filled with samples of English Wheat,
ovring to which, the increased attendance of buyers, and the
paid on Monday last, of from
short stocks held by the dealers, a good business was doing,
at an advance in the quotations
of improve-
-3s to 43 per quarter. Still, however, we eannots
many
Parties were unwilling to give the above amount
talent—call the trade brisk ; and we may atate
that the
market closed heavily, considering the actual improvement
paid. With free Foreign Wheat—as many of the holders
have withdrawn their samples from the market for the pre-
sent—we were scantily supplied. That article commanded a
steady, though not very active inquiry, at a rise in the
quotations of fully 35 per quarter. For inland, there was
some deMand for bonded Wheats and Indian Corn cargoes
afloat. The former sold readily at an improvement of 3s,
the latter 4s per quarter. The sales of Wheat amounted to
about 8,000 quarters.We had a short supply of Barley on
offer, while the demand for that article was very active at 2s
to 4s
.per qr, more money. There was a very active business
doing in Malt, at an enhancement in the quotations of from
4s to 5s perm
~ and at which a good clearance was effected.
The show of Oats being small, the Oat trade was firm, at a
rise oGIs. per quarter. Both Beans and Peas sold readily at
Is. to per quarter more on. The Flour trade was ac-
tive.. Sack parcels were 35., and barrelled ditto 2s. dearer.

GWALIOR.

The state troops had during the first week of
November been almost frightened from their pro-
priety by the rumour that a night attack was
about to be made on the " Lushkur," when or
by whom was not mentioned. It would seem to
have been a ruse practised by some persons who wished
to serve some ends they had in view by " intimidating
the minister." A force had been dispatched into the
Toohur Ghaur districts for the purpose of quelling some
disturbances expected to take place there. The distur-
bers of the peace were said to be headed by one who
declared himself neglected by and misrepresented to his
masters. Dr. Hope, superintendent surgeon, Scindia's
force, being about to leave the country, had been pre-
sented by the Maharajah with a " buelut," or dress of
honour, in presence of the whole Durbar, in token of
esteem and gratitude ; and the Prime Minister, Ram
Rao Phalkeo, had also presented him with a similar gift.
Dr. Hope was private physician to the minister, and had
more than once been instrumental in saving his life when
seriously indisposed. The doctor is highly spoken of
for his benevolence and humanity to all the poor of the
city ; he had succeeded in having a charitable hospital
erected for them, to which he had given his attendance
gratis since its foundation. It is acts like these which
make a man's name be remembe red for generations in
India.

THE NEW SPORTING MAGAZINE.

An admirable likeness of the Hon. Member for
Lynn, Lord George Bentinck, accompanied by a
suitable memoir, is prefixed to the January number.
The engraving is copied from a faithful portrait by
M. Claudet. Lord William Lennox gives us a very
chatty, pleasant paper upon Coursing ; Craven writes
a digest upon the Turf in 'Forty-six ;" and the
editor continues his valuable " Hand-book of the
Chase." The magazine has all the mellowness of a
practised periodical, and all the freshness of one just
commenced.

HOOD'S MAGAZINE.

Even the brief plea for the orphan children of
poor Thomas Hood (a man whose memory we all
love and venerate so much), prefixed to the present
number of the magazine deriving its very title from
his genius, is preferable to no notice whatever.
Something must be done for those relics of the friend
of the destitute and forsaken, or the wrongs of the
world which he expiated by a lingering death of many
years, will be perpetuated in his offspring. Now that
Hood's wife is no more, and his children wholly de-
solate, we have a mournful satisfaction in transcribing
the five stanzas by the dead poet, in which that domes-
tic calamity is literally foretold. The writer of the
brief notice in the magazine terms the following most
touching and most beautiful verses, the best appeal
that could be uttered.
TO A CHILD EMBRACING ITS MOTHER.
Love thy mother, little one !
Kiss and clasp her neck again—
Hereafter she may have a son
Will kiss and clasp her neck in ♦ain.
Love thy mother, little one !
Gaze upon her living eyes,
And mirror back her love for thee—
Hereafter thou may'st shudder sighs
To meet them when they cannot see.
Gaze upon her living eyes !
Press her lips that while they glow
With love that they have often told—
Hereafter thou may'st press, in woe,
And kiss them till thine own are cold.
Press her lips the while they glow !
Oh ; revere r raven hair
Altho' it be not silvery grey,
Too early death led on by care.
May snatch, save one dear lock, away.
Oh revere her raven hair
Pray for her, at eve and morn,
That Heaven may long the stroke defer,
For thou may'st live the hour forlorn
When thou wilt ask to die with her.

Pray for her, at eve and morn !

T. Hoop.

The " Avenger" and " Blanche Neville" are con-
tinued, and the author of the former contributes an
agreeable paper headed " Success." The rest of the
magazine is a compilation of the veriest odds and ends
of literature, the very garbage of sentiment, the very
broken bits of humour, and the very stalest of stale
quotations. The editor is mistaken in acting thus ;
he may be packing his "casket of gems" with mere
sawdust.

D dLIIIAN.
We are gratified to see that the new editor of this
magazine disclaims all intention of trespassing upon
the ground already monopolised by
.the writer of
" Barnahy Rudge. We expressed our opinion last
m.,nth that the editor had overlooked that publica-
tion, and was entering upon a field well reaped and
gleaned by Dickens. This month the former dis-
tinctly observes—" we tread not in the footsteps of
one of the most popular writers of the day." The
Rev. Mr. Price tells us at once, that his serial about
" The Last Days of the Penal Laws, and the Riots
of 1779 and 1780," are not to be fictitious in the
slightest degree. The narrative, he says, " will be
entirely, even to the minutest particular, founded on

EASTERN PRODUCE.

Cotton—Late accounts, both from England and China,
have given a stimulus to shipments, and immediately
after the arrival of the October steamer a purchase of
3,000 bales Broach was made at 86 rs. per candy; owing,
however, to the inferior quality of stocks in the market
there is now less disposition to purchase, and prices have
slightly declined. Arrivals from the cotton ports con-
tinue to be very light, and it is reported that the quan-
tity to come forward this season will be unusually small.
The following are the current rates:—
Broach and Jumbooser, 80r. to 81r. per candy.
Surat, Mr. to 84r. per candy.
Dollera, 71r. to 74r. per candy.
Compta (old), 72r. per candy.
Since the departure of last mail we hear of the follow-
ing purchases having taken place :-3,000 bales of
Broach, at 86r. per candy; 800 candies of Compta, at
72r. to 73r. per candy; 300 candies of Dollera, at 72r.

BHOPAL.

The capital and surrounding country are now as quiet
and settled, to all appearance, as though no Nawab
Ameer Mahomed Khan had never been in existence to
create strife. This state of matters is justly attributed
to the energy and prudence of the measures pursued by Mr.
Hamilton, resident at the Court of Indore, the adjoining
state; ably seconded as he was at the time of the disturb-
ance, and continues to be, by the political agent, Captain
Cunningham, and commandant of the contingent, Captain
Landers.
THE M

:E -ISSING MAIL..—Up to the hour of our going to
press (three A.m.) there was no appearance of the mail,
arid we think the delay can only be accounted fOr by the
occurrence of accident, on this or the other side of Suez.
Late on Monday night it was intimated that the steamer
intended to have been dispatched last night would be
detained till four o'clock this afternoon, when we believe
she will start without fail, irrespective of the arrival or
non-arrival of the Suez steamer. The Governor-
General's express arrived about noon yesterday—that
from Calcutta having been received a couple of hours
before; and further delays, of which only a few could
avail themselves in the way of answering letters, are
considered inadmissible. We, of course, can offer no
conjecture as to when the mail may be looked for. It is
considered not unlikely that the two of the 24th October
and 7th November may come in together a week hence.

ANOTHER CURE OF ASTHMATIC COUGH OF LONG

DR. LOCOCK'S PULMONIC WAFERS.
"City-road, Haverfordwest. Feb. 6, 1847.
" Sir,—l am happy to inform you that I have experienced the great-
est benefit from taking only two boxes of Dr. LOCOCK'S WAFERS.
Previously to my taking them I could scarcely walk, from the great
difficulty in breathing, and my cough would then increase to such a
degree that I was nearly suffocated. I had not for many months
slept for more than half an hour at a time ; but I am now able to
sleep all night without coughing. I can truly recommend them to
those who are similarly afflicted, as a most invaluable remedy.
"JOHN JOHNS, Cabinet-maker.
" To Mr. 0. E. Davies, chemist; High-street, Haverfordwest."
Dr. LOCOCK'S WAFERS give instant relief and a rapid cure of
asthmas, coughs, colds, and all disorders of the breath and lungs.
To singers and public speakers they are invaluable for clearing and
strengtheng the voice. They have a pleasant taste.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY k VEXING, DECEMBER 10. 1847.

the second reading of the Government measure
for the prevention of crime in Ireland might
be proceeded with. The Nobe Lord the Member
for Lynn's motion stood first on the paper, but
the Noble Lord had been prevailed upon not to bring
it forward to-night, and he had to appeal to the Hon.
Member for Youghal not to proceed with his motion,
which accident had placed first on the list.—(Hear.)
Mr. C. ANSTY said if his motion had related
to any measure before the House he would gladly
have complied with the request of the Right Hon.
Baronet.—(oh, oh.). _ _ .

. .
Mr. HUME said he had a motion which
stood next to that of the Honourable Mem-
ber for Youghal, and to which he attached
considerable importance, but, considering the necessity
for passing the Bill, to which allusion had been
made, without delay, and considering, too, that Par-
liament had been oath(' together much earlier than
usual solely for that purpose, he would gladly post-
pone it, and he hoped the Hon. Member for Youghal
would postpone his.—(Cheers.)
Mr. C. ANSTY said if it were the wish of the
House that he should not proceed with his motion he
would readily give way.—(Hear, hear.) He had
twice given notice of his motion, and he was par-
ticularly anxious to bring it forward, but of
course he could not think of doing so if it were
calculated to bring him into an unseemly conflict
with the House.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir G. GREY said he felt extremely indebted to
the Hon. Member for giving way.
RAILWAYS BILL.

Mr. SPOONER inquired when the Government
intended to proceed with the Railways Bill.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
replied that he had stated on a former
occasion, that before he proceeded further
with the Bill, he should have the clauses printed, and
laid on the table, in order that Hon. Members might
be fully informed of the nature of the measure before
it was set down for discussion. He should redeem
that, as he hoped he had reJeemed every other
promise he had made to the House.—(Hear.) The
Government did not intend to proceed with any
measure which would in any way interfere with the
progress of the Bill for the suppression of crime in
Ireland.—(lreland.)
London, England, 1847-12-10

CRIME IN IRELAND.

Mr. BAINES gave notice of his intention, in
Committee, to move amendments to the Bill for the
prevention of crime and outrage in Ireland.
OFFENCES AGAINST THE REVENUE
LAWS.

Mr. HUME moved for a return of the number of
persons who are now confined in each of her Majesty's
gaols and houses of correction for offences against the
revenue laws in Great Britain and Ireland, stating
the periods for which they have been confined, in
classes of, 1. Less than six months ; 2. More than
six and less than twelve ; 3. More than one and less
than two years ; 4. More than two years (in contin-
uation of Parliamentary Paper, No. 432, of Session
1841).—Agreed to.
BANK ANNUITIES.

The HON. AIEMBE a also moved for an account stating,
in detail, the purchases and sales of Bank annuities
and Exchequer-bills, effected by the National Debt
Commissioners, on account of the Trustees of Savings
Banks, under the authority of the Acts of 9 Geo. IV.,
c. 92, and 3 Will. IV., c. 14 ; shcwing, in separate
columns, the date, description, and extent of each of
such purchases and sales, and the rate at which each
of such purchases and sales were effected, from the
16th day of June 1847.—Agreed to.

THE CHOLERA.

In answer to a question from an HON. MEMBER,

Lord MORPETH stated that Government
were now considering what were the best
and most desirable measures to be adopted
in this country for the prevention of cholera.
It was also under consideration whether any altera-
tions were required to be made in the proclamations
issued on the last occasion that the country was
visited by this frightful epidemic, or whether im-
provements could be introduced in the means that
were then adopted for establishing district boards of
health.

RAILWAYS IN INDIA.
Mr. BRIGIIT gave notice that to-morrow he
should put a question to the Secretary of the Board
of Control in reference to the steps which had been
taken by that board for the promotion of railways in
India, and particularly in those districts in India
where cotton was chiefly grown.
Mr. ANSTY'S MOTION.
Sir GEORGE GREY wished to know if the
Honourable Member for Youghal had any ob-
jection to postpone his motion, in order that

cottage which she rented there, with the intention of
coming to reside near her daughter. The hus.hand left

quantity, or to any individual, without sonie person
well knowing the individual applying for such drugs,
and stating for what purpose they are required.
COERCIVE MEASURES FOR IRELAND.

Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition from Man-

not to pass any coercive measures for Ireland, but to
adopt such remedial measures as might give the
labourers that right upon the land which they ought
to possess.

Mr. F. O'CONNOR presented petitions to a
similar effect from Leeds, Preston, Southall,

latives of the six persons who were shut up n a

%% ere at work. There was reason to believe that those
persons might yet be lingering in their misery, and
the petitioners prayed that the Secretary of State
would adopt some immediate measures in order to
accertain whether any relief could be afforded to the
sufferers.
