A LARGE ORGAN.
The largest Organ Ia The wOiid has Just
been completed by Flight ami Robson,
OF London, at all expense OF = 10000.
II is called the APoLoEICoN, and Is nov
open for public Inspection. IL WAS butt
under ihe patronage of the Regent. l lie
accuracy with which, il executes the most
complex movements almost exceeds be
iiet. |, is at present sci for The bcauii-
full and scientific overiures OF Anacrcon,
by Cherubni. aud Ia ClemenZa di Tito,
by Mozart Anamateur has followed the
performance Of ooih, with the score be-
fore hin,, and mas not bCen able TO detect
single error. The mode III which THIS
is effected is by three vcry large cylin-
ders or barrels, each SIX feet n clrcum-
ference, and revolving at the same time.
BY these the whole powers OF the insifu-
ment are acted upon: and by certain
small levers o. keys on the barrels, con-
siructed with very curious and minute
pieces OF mechanism, the several stops
clarionets, bassoOns, trombone, double
drums, sc. are either brought into acti-
on, or instanlaneousIy taken off accor-
ding To the necessary harmonial effect to
be produced by winch means a crescen-
do or diminuendo, as powerful DIS sur
prising, are produced: The former com
mencing from the delicate tones OF the in
strumeut, the soitness of which sounds
like music heard from aiar, gradually M
creaSIng 10 the utmost powers OF The M
strument aud the latter diminishing IN
an inverse pro portIon, with delicacy OF
expression not surpassed by the most
mastery performers on the respective
instruments. But independently of lis
mechanical properties, II possesses all
the advantages of keyed instrument, on
" with additional and superior facilities
performance. II is constructed for six
performers TO play al lie san time, there
being six distinct sets ol keys, keS-boards,
or scales of notes, each acting upon GER
tain classes and qualities OF the instru-
ment, and totally independent Of each o.
Their. I nus, by previous 5rrau. ement,
SIN first rate professors would he able 10
command the entire pow erS of the organ
The imagination can hardly conceive
The effect of grand Sintona thus per-
formed Some notion of the capacity of
this organ may be formed by stating,
that the diameter of lis largest pipes IS
10 inches, exceeding by six inches the
diameter of the largest OH the Continent.
We have seen late letters from France,
which mention, tllat the most uneasy
subjects there are the Ultra Royaiists,
or Ex-Emigres and that many of them
would prefer revolution t. the existing
order of things under Louis 18th. They
admit however, that France is perfect
ly tranquil, and that The prospect of plen-
ty had hushed the rumors of complaint
among the people.
The fire harvest in France (he first
fruits of which have been ingathered) has
renewed in the French commonalty those
feelings of gaIeiy and c0nientment which
so emnenily distiuguis he'd them III % Of
de,l times Though their deprivations
have been severe, they have experienced
but little which can be called ertren'e sssf-
Jeting.. The Government and Munici-
paliies, have dealt cut immense sums to
prevent this and il is a well known FACT,
that Louis 18Th, and the members Of his
family, have distributed in charities, g.
leven millions of francs, from their privy
purses, during the last 3 months ! The
Duchess d'Angoueme, has been the prin-
cipa almoner of this bounty. The no.
bles and the rich, bave beeu eager 10 e.
mulatc the royal example; and Madame
Moreau, (the widow Of fine great General
has distinguished herself in the contest
of benevolCnce. No less than twenty
eight millions of francs, (more than five
millions and half Of dollars have been
dispensed by tie titled and affiuent; be-
sides what has been distributed by those
classes OF society, who give without Os-
teniaion, and pass unnOticed and uu-
known; but whose beneiactloms amount
