MUSICAL PRODIGY.

II is not, perhaps. generally known, even BY

US phenomenon such as does nut exist ~ any
other part Of the United States, nor in any ma

knowledge extends, never has existed heretofore
in any country. or in any age. We are apt to
look with admiration and astOnishment upon
adopts in any science or art, who NAV have &C
quired their knowledge or skill after long years
of study and labor. We are even disposed to
regard with wonder those who, at an advanced
period in life. either accomplish the perfect mas
terry OF some elegant or useful branch OF human
learning, or acquire, through unwearied dill
gence, the facility OF performing some nice and
difficult manual operation, or make some sud.
den discovery. the almost untraceaSle effect OF
series Of by gone contempatons. But when we
are presented with an instance wherein these va
rious acquisitions. so rare even among the most
mature and disciplined Of our species. are com
bined in the person Of mere child, we are start

This gentleman is lowering himself very 'ast
in the estimation of the American People From
previous observations made by him in the House
Of Commons, on the West India Slavery Bill,
we were prepared somewhat for the following
which took place at meeting held IN hond1n'

nounce the American Colonization Society. Gar
Iison addressed the meeting first. The LONDON

says:-

There is not an intelligent citizen who has not

a plan to render freemen ridiculous. A Court

We are for the laws. Whilst laws exist, all
good citizens ought to respect them But all
good citizens are bound to see that our Militia
laws are modified. We do not like to see the
country dissraoed BY attempts to keep up our pre-.

Of it, aud he Is to be tried BY those very laws
