March OF INVENTION Music
Amongst the numerous inventions which nj
most daily claim share Of public attention,
we have to notice that OF a stenm organ, in.
vented and adapted to the "iyne" locomo-
tive engine. the property Of the Newcastle
and Carlisle Railway Company, by the Rev.
james Birkett, Of Ovngham. AS far as we
are able to Judge, this instrument, bears the
greatest resemblance 10 the organ it con-
sists Of eight pipes, tuned to compass, what
is termed by musicians, an octave, but with
out any intervening tones or semi tones
This is the first ottemptaos adapt q musical
instrument to the steaii ehSiVe, capable Of
producing tune, and thoug1 not SO perfec,
as to admit Of all the pleasing variety and
combination Of sound as The instrument to
which we have compared il; there is nc
doubt but very considerable improvements
will be made in tho steam musical instru-
ment by the inventor, who is a skilful musi.
clan, as we'll as an ngenitbis mechanic. We
understand that some important alterations
are at present in progress, and intended to
be completed previous to the grand opening
Of the railway on the 18th inst.-Jyne .Mer-

O. Many persons have been puzzled to
find out why such an immense amount Of
money has been spent during the Florida
war. They seem to have forgotten that, in
addition to whole armies Of steamboat pro-
prietors, and contractors, who expect to make
large fortunes out Of tho Government, tho
militia companies which volunteer in this
war, are all composed Of marvellous proper
men, who are accustomed not only to the
necessarics, but the luxuries Of life. II will
be seen by the following items, which form
part Of Quartcrmaster's Report Of expcn-
ses incurred by corps Of Alabama militia,
that these brave gentlemen must have their

evening last, will strike their tents and
take leave of us this day between ~

their return to Boston. During their
brief sojourn among us, every proper
attention, we believe, has been paid
them, both by our Artillery Company
and the citizens generally, and they
have expressed themselves, as we un-
derstand highly grati6ed with their visit.
1t has been not among the least OF our
qualifications, attending this short ex-
cursion 10 our Island Of our friends from
Boston, to notice the excellent discipline
and perfect style Of equipment which
distinguish this company in every i'm

attended by the admirable and well or
