LECTURES on MUsIc.-WM. HENRY

Fny, Esq., proposes course Of lectures upon the Sci
and Art OF Music and upon the most colossal scale
Yet imposing as IL his programme, 1t does not seem
to impossible and of the very great benefit and actual
necessity of such an undertaking there Is no doubt
Mr. Frys proposition is nothing less than to give gen.
eral and % fair extent adequate comprehension OF
the whole subject of musical composition including its
scientific relations is history s ethics and ts esthetics
To accomplish this design, which implies extensive H.
lustraon the following essentials named; corps
Of principal Italian vocnli-ts grand chorus of one
hundred singers orchestra of eighty performers;
amiltary band of fifty performers.
Lectures of this scope are clearly not matters to be
lightly undertaken and executed and ample time Is al
lowed for preparation because negotiations must DO
commenced with artists Ten lectures are proposed,
at FIVE dollars for the course and ten thousand dollars is
the estimated whole expense The proposal has a lord
" air. and promises such real advantages to the many
who love music and yet know nothing about it, that
shall hope for its entire success.
Mr. Fay is emmcnty fitted for this undertaking. Long
resident Paris where he still, remains he has had the
finest opportunities of collecting material and perectng
himself in the science and literature Of music. Our
readers will remember his graphic Partisan letters in
columns which amply certify his literary ability
The course win be far from dry detail, and we
daily invite attention to the proposal
OPENING or ANTHoNY-sr.-The Alder
men have made slight move toward proposition TO
open Anthonyst from Orange drcctto Chathamsquare.
Several years ago advocated similar movement,
with the addition that Anthonyst should be widened on
the southern side make 20 100 feet in width
No street in thai part Of the City could be improved
chesply, since the buildings mostly of a very
wretched description and the EvePoins park and Hos
pital ground both vacant, the line Open the
street by all means, raise the grade far possible,
make broad from Chatham square to Hudson.
Ct and the Erie Railroad Depot and there will be cur.
rent of travel through regenerated Anthony st which
will not only be very great rchef 10 Chathamst and
Broadway, but will do much toward reformation Of the
Five Points and enhancement, of the value property in
that peghborhocd Since the project for extending
Csnslst has been nearly smothered under burden of
law suits let US try Anthonyst and how soon such
an excellent idea can be put in execution.
