SOME DROLL MUSICAL
FANCIES are thus put forth
in the London Review of Saturday : When Leigh
Hunt spoke of the straius of a bagpipe as representative of

the agonies of a tune tied to a post,' ho said, we aro con-
vinced, not of a now but a true thing. There is feeling and
sense in apiece of music which cannot bo hurt or violated
without protest; the melody exclaims on its own score
against its tortures, and will appear to shrink, to wriggle,
to sigh, and to moan desperately, under bad treatment.
When a vagabond assails the quiet of a street with his
chu:onot, you can hear the miserable Italian airs quivering
first a reproachful remonstrance, and then omitting abrupt
and dismal petitions for release; but the fellow shows
no mercy to Casta Diva;' on tho contrary, he pur-
sues that unfortunate tune up and down the scale,
and seems to wang its neck with a vicious shako at
the finish. Why should we not have a Society for the
Suppression of Cruelty to Tunes? What base uses are
not those poor braiu•childreu turned to? Did their
originators ever intend thorn to assist (with a monkey) in
bringing coppers into the greasy cap of an organ-grinder?
Would not a Christy minstrel or so satisfy those wretches ?
if

it there are necessities in the case we might slightly abate
the principle, and license the hawking of " Poor Old
Jeff," although not without qualms for the degrada-
tion of the ebony 11)lisarius. As for brass bands and
their atrocities, they deserve the treadmill. It is bad
enough to hear a tune racked by a single inquisi-
tor; but when a mob, armed with cornet; opheicleides,
trombones, and cymbal; surround it, make it run the
gauntlet, and finally tear it asunder, the act b)comes a
crime of unmitigated atrociti. The tune, say, is started,
and allowed about live bars law. The cymbals, however,
are fastened to its tail, and the creature is bewildered, and
refuses to go further. Then comes the butchery, a kick
from the trombone, a bayonet thrust from the cornet, ant
a knock on the head from the drum."

THE VICEROY OF EGYPT has ordered a corps of
10,000 •non to proceed to the frontiers of Abyssinia. The
authorities at Cairo fancy our expedition is not half large
enough, and say we should send at least 40,000 if we want
to produce a real impression. They also deprecate our
purchases of Spanish mules, and almost laugh .at us for
buying them when we could get thousands of mules in
Assyria which would stand the climate at £l5 each.
There is a talk of the French becoming lessees of the rail-
road, in which case England will become tenants by cour-
tesy of tilt, rigid of WAY.—Army anti gravy Gage4'
