Local Matters.

SACRED MELoDY.-We have observed with plea
sure the pure simplicity, and the subdued yet in
tense earnesness, that have of late characterized
the musical exercises in many of the places Of pub
lie worship in this country. To the that has
acquired an artificial relish through the influence
of peculiar musical education il may be that this
style is not 80 desirable; but believe it is at
once most impressive upon the mind and feelings
of the multitude, to whom the charm of simplicity
is ever dear, and most perfectly adapted to the
lemnity Of divine worship. The skill required to
execute the complex and intricate music that finds
many admirers in the world, we can witness with
wonder and admiration; but its influence is never
realized forcby is that of the strains of simple
melody that we may hope to imitate-strains ac
companied by sentiments, stealing inteigibly
upon the heart through medium delightful to
the senses.
We perceive that concert of sacred music,
chiefly of this character, to be given at ST. Pauls
German Lutheran church, corner Of 18th and II
Streets this evening" and that the excellent choir Of
that church, aided by number Of our most ad-
mired amateur vocalists, will execute a series OF
pieces selected from the best composers. We in
vitc the public attention to this concert and deem
the character of the entertainment sufficient in
ducement TO secure full attendance; yet we have
two other incentives to present The first is, that
the profits accruing are to be applied to the pay
ment Of the debt due by this small but interesting
and exemplary body of Christians; the second, that
other assembage 10 be witnessed amongst US is
likely to exhibit fine array Of the intelligent
and beautiful Of our community.
LAST WEEK OF THE PAsoRANA.-The present
week is, it seems, the last that citizens will
have to study this splendid work Of the pencil We
say nothing more in praise Of it than has been
said, but would advise those who have not yet seen
it, and who would not rob themselves Of great
intellectual treat not to lose the present opportu-
nifty. Go early, If you would secure seats. The
Upper portion will be shown tonight.

MEssRs. GRErLEy X MoELRATH: The directors
of the Suffolk Cotton Mills in this city have decided
to stop making cloth at the present ruinous prices,
and have to-day given notice 10 the five hundred
persons employed by tho company, that the ser.
vices Of one-haf Of their number must be forthwith
dispensed with. II Is stated, on good authority,
that similar disposition will be made Of those en-
ployed by the "Boott," fremont" and "Massa-
chusetts' Cotton Mills which corporations EN-.
ploy 5000 persons, and represent capital OF
S3,5OO,000
The Boot Company manufacture about s60.OoO
worth OF goods per month"; and their sales for some
months past have averaged about $4,000 per
month. This 10 doubtless true Of the other mills,
especially where fine goods only are made; and OF
course they must speedily partially Or wholly close
also. part Of the goods which have been sold
have brought prices below cost; late shipment OF
goods 10 Canton, for instance, brought them only
seven cents per yard, which price will not pay the
coat of manufacture at the present rates for cotton
The announcement OF this state OF things has caused
no little excitement among our business commu-

have taken place recently, and more must incvita-
bly, follow unless change takes place soon Of (which
