GRrAr ORoAs-- We find in the New Oflcans Bu.
letin, the following notice OF the immense Organ,
which has recently been erected in Of the Church
es OF that city, by Mr.. H. Erben of New York. The
very high reputation which Mr. +. has acquired for
himself in the line of his profession may be inferred
from the fact ,ha, he has already built hundred
and sertntv too Organs, most of which Of the
larger class for Churches in various parts of the o. s.,
and also in Canada, Havana, and South and Central
America The admirable Organ in Christ Church, in
this city, is from his hands The instrument here
spoken Of in the New Orleans Bulletin is the largest
ever made in this country Il Baltimore .7meriean
awe had the pleasure yesterday TO the magni-
fcent Organ recently procured through the generous
efforts of the ladies' for the Church Of st Patrick, in
this city, and now erected in that noble building,
also 10 hear few strains from its wilderness of pipes
The exterior of the Organ is after the Gothic order,
corresponding with the general design Of the Church,
and in both the plan and the execution full advantage
seems TO have been taken OF the capabilities Of that
rich elaborate and majestic style II not, howe yer,
as specimen of that peculiar architecture which is
rendered almost sacred by association with the pamy
day of the Church. that the instrument has its great
interest and value but rather in It's powers Of lofty
melody, in lis capacity to swell and enrich the sub
lime music in which the Church offers its incense Of
PRAYER and praise to the Deity; and in this respect as
far as we can Judge, it will not dsappoint the most
sauoune antcpations From the sof.est TO the strong
est note, i, seems capable OF the most perfect har-
mony.
.si'he following dimensions and particulars of the
Orgsn were furnished us by the builder Henry Err
ben, ESQ., OF n. York It's hegh, is 37feet, width IS
feet and depth IL feet 1t contains nearly 900 pes
of these the largest wooden one is % feet long, and

We are happy in being able to correct an erroneous
impression in relation TO issue Of bonds by the
State OF Illinois, and 10 which impression aided in
giving currency by Inadvertently copying what we
conceived TO be item of news from the Sangamo
(lll.) Journal. The correct statement take from
the State Sentinel" We are glad that Illinois has
taken this noble stand. Now that she is free from
Whiggery, she will also soon be free from debt.
Globe
The CANAL.-We were sorry to find the following
paragra PHI the last Globe We think i, bad policy in
the organ of the Democratic party al Washington 10
copy the falsehoods Of the Federal organ in this place
The editors of the Globe, if they had read the canal
law would have that it "does not authorize the
issue Of canal bonds of any other description OF
bonds. The Democratic party Of Illinois were pledged
the people, before the last August election, not 10
issue any bonds for any purpose whatever; ana
they kept their pledge instead Of violating it-as this
paragraph in the Globe would lead them 10 believe.
Col Oakley and Senator Ryan have no power to DIS
pose of bonds On the contrary, the object OF Their
mission is to take up bonds already issued That Is,
the State offers 10 the bond holders all her property IN
the canal ard The land ITSELF in fee simple, condition
ally that they will finish the canal, and look to its tolls
and lands for reimbursement ony of the money ad
vanced 10 complete it, but of the canal bonds previously
issued The offer is fair both sides, and WILL 1t &C.
copied benefit both parties. The State offers 10 her
creditors all she has-she gives them her land her ca
mall and If the bond holders know their true interests,
they will accept the proposition.
From the Globe.j
at is understood, says the Sangamo (ll) Journal,
tha, Col Oakley and Senator Ryan will proceed 10
England in short time for the purpose of disposlng
of The Illinois State bonds authorized by the canal
law, for the completion Of the canal. 1t will be fruit
