ol soae perSOns; shah uo, tue sais ssca urOD each

letter shoad be used "a mus he eauea otherwise
your Key cannot be r. Bu, THIS seldom happeas, and
when il does not, to place aas on B when there WAS
note there would be quite snperfuous as it would
only multiply the characters without producing any
effect; therefore place an accidental only in the
part which contains the letter affected is abundanlly
sufficient to produce change of key, which of course
must be in all Of the parts alike let the notation be
what it may. But il must be understood that this
change from the original key can continue longer
than while under the influence of the accidental for
the moment the letter which has been under such in
iuence is found in its original state, that moment
we may know that the piece has resumed its original
key.
For farther illustration Of this point would refer
my readers to the tune called Kimbolton, there they
will find in the tenth measure Of the air fiat B
which removes the key agreeaby with what we have
just noticed; consequently the next in the bass
must be and may be said to be the keynote of
that passage.But perhaps by this time tmay be said
what has this to do with singing by note We answer
those who understand the subject will readily see that
it has every thing to do with it, and those who do not
|
it before they form any opinion concerning it.
But those who comprehend these facts land they
are in themselves very smple) viii readily see that
the present Solfeggio system of fasoi-lQ,cing or
any other which is equivalent it is calculated to
all these difficulties because every time the key
is changed by signature, the of the change
their place accordingly as, let the semitones stand
at what letters they may they will always fall between
| Mi Faw g. Law Faw. Hence by little practice upon
such system the will readily discover the sound
which should be given to any of these syabes with
out the trouble of examining the piece in order to find
the key, and the information will become correct,
which without such system would be almost mpos-
sibe, There are many other reasons which might be
adduced, but present they must be omitted

Riot in Boston.-On Friday last a number of sailors
formed procession and marched through the city of
Boston in double file, with loud shouts and Glamour.
The Journal of Saturday says:-
"On arriving opposite the Old Court House they
| halted and formed hollow square; and the follow
ing procaimationa las near could catch the words,
was read by their leader
| "Auention we, the blue jackets, now in the city
of Boston, agree that will ship for less than
SIS month; and that will punish any who
shall ship for less, in such way as we think proper,
and strip the vessel (which he ships in] What say
you? 2"
To which they replied by three loud and general
cheers. The procession then formed again, and pro-
ceedcd the head of Hanover street, renewing their
shouts in the square, opposite Concert Hall.
| They proceeded on and performed the same formal
| ty within hearing, in front of Concert Hall and in
| Bowdon Square. They traversed the western and
other parts of the city, and reached the Common.
There we learn rencontre took place, between them
and militia company who had advanced upon them
at the charge. Some individuals on both sides
Frustrated in the melee, but no lives were lost
blood shed and the parties separated without either
claiming the field. In the afternoon the procession
| was considerably increased in numbers, and drum
and fife at the head Among those added, were
| siderable number of negroes. We do not learn that
the object OF an increase OF wages is likely to be OBJ
| tanned, or commerce much interrupted on the con-
trary, a shipper that he could without diff

Propidential Escdoe.-While John 3. Smith, Esq.
an old and respectable inhabltant Of this city was on
! an excursion to Niagara Fails, he with some gentle
men was endeavourng to get the sheet OF waller,
on the British side, that forms that immense cataract,
when Mr. Smiths foot The being foremost) sipt, and
he was precpitaed forty feet over the rocks fiat
projecting ledge of the precplce. In this condition
he was without any possible means Of getting back
GAIN as no one could afford him the least assistance
BY rope or otherwise from above, such being the for
nation of the place from whence he fell. AT last he
made desperate effort climb up by means of pro-
jectng rocks but he had sooner put his weight
one of them than it gave way, and he was precPitaed
fifty feet further down the cataract. His head was cut
in several places and his body greatly bruised. When
he recovered his recollection he found himself again
on the top Of the rock from which he had first fallen.

Steamboat C0nnecticut.-Ths boat her last trip
from Providence underwent great danger from the vi
olence Of the late gale in the sound. For six
hours during the night of the 18th and morning Of
the l9th the suspense and anxiety of all board
intense The almost total darkness of the night and
still increasing violence of the wind, truly appal
ling. 1t was impossible to make of either steam or
sails and they steering in uncertainty their
direction. The sounding line constantly employ
ed. From twenty fathoms water, it announced
in quick succession, that there were but fteen twelve,
ten, seven, fve-untl they made but two and half
Al this the boat struck, and Immediately after
got again into five fathOms water BY the conclusion,
the chimney carried away and the small boat lost
compelled to cut the cable, at a moment when she was
driving fast a ledge Of rocks. The crew and pas
sengers manifested great GOODNESS and composure; e.
high praise is given to Capt ComsOck, for his intre

character, excellent seaboat, and rode the
