Strike of the Engineers.--The engineers
composing the association of steamboat engi-
neers Of this city, demanded, several days ago, an
advance in their wages, and have held several
meetings. Their demands we learn. have been
mainly complied with by the steamboat owners,
though some points in the scale Of prices are yet
unsettled. The advance which they asked was
from 500 uhc old pricc) 10 $50 per month for
first engineer of the largest class boat and from
$50 to 500 for the second engineer. For small
boats from SIS TO Sl25 for the first engineer, and
from $50 TO S100 for the second engineer. The
small difference between the wages OF the first and
second engineers of the small boats, as compared
with the difference between the first and second
engineers of the large boats, is objected 10, and
will doubtless undergo some modification before
the scale is settled upon. Wages about equal 10
those of pilots, and scale Of equitable prices
are the objects aimed at by the association
Wheeling InteNfgencer.

The Germania Musical Society.--The con-
cert given by this band at Carusfs Saloon last
night was attended by large and fashionable
company. The room was crowded before the
hour arrived.
We do not exaggerate when we say that more
accomplished musicians never performed in
Washington. Everybody was delighted. They
intend giving another concert this evening, and
we advise all lovers of music to attend.

Music for "the Million."---So far. as our OBJ
servation extends, there are now at least twelve
organsts who supply our citizens, both day and
night with this description of cheap music Like
other caterers the public taste, those itncrsnts
furnish the latest and more popular tunes the fa-
ciltes for procuring instruments, with all the
modern improvements, being ample at the north.
The prices for them range from thirty TO a hundred
dollars apiece according 10 the number OF airs
furnished and the style of finish. AT very mod
crate calculation, at least five thousand dollars of
small change is annually paid towards the support
of those street concerts.
The public opinion is divided respecting them.
To not few they con stitute an intolerable nui-
sance; to others, the juvenile class especially,
they are as welcome as the music of summer
birds to the enthusiastic lovers Of natures varied,
and bright and beautiful and soul.entrancing
creations, and serve TO enliven the commonplace
affairs of life and for awhile delightfully."- interrupt
the monotony of affairs domestic. -
AT one period, the organ-grinder had the accom-
panment of female voice, with view of render
ing the concerts more popular, and, as conse-
quence, more profitable but, failing to form or re-
form the public taste, in this particular, the alter
nate alto, or shriek-eto, and baritone explosions
were silenced; and SO the machine nowadays
discourses its own unadulteraed melody.
The time was when foreign music alone was
dispensed the Italians and Swiss bringing hither
with them not only their grinding apparatus, but
the airs which prevailed in their native lands.
Progress" however, has wrought change, and
our are now greeted from organs of American
manufacture, with the tunes more in accordance
with our patriotism and taste, from the fighting
inspiring tune of Yankee Doodle down to the most
plantve of the Ethiopian ballads, with all the in
termediate melodies familiar to the people.
The organ-grinder is sometimes accompanied
by an assistant, either girl or boy, TO serve in
the double capacity of tamborinist and colec-
tor of small change or if he is not thus aided, he
supplies himself with a monkey, to dance TO the
music and TO receive the tolls; performing the lat

king ofthe island of Johanna, and the sub ect being

When the Dale arrived Capt. NJ. had been released,

and prosperity of the nation augmented and stead
y advanced, and that peace and happiness may
reign throughout your Majesty's dominions.
Your petitioners would further most respectfully
represent your Majesty, that the history of all
ages illustrates the truth, that no monarch, how
ever good and great, in his own person, can make
his government respected or his people happy,
when surrounded by pernicous councillors. The
happiness of people is in the wisdom OF the gov
ernment, and the strength of the government is in
the trust and confidence OF the people.
Your petitioners would further represent 10 your
majesty. that entertaining, as we do, the highest
consideration for your Majesty, the unprejudced
convictions Of our judgment are, that your Majesty
has, as your confidential advisers persons unde-
serving the trust and confidence Of the people, and
highly prejudicial TO the best interests of your
malestys government.
That in the humble opinion Of your petitioners,
the public good, and the welfare of your Majesty's
people, would be greatly promoted, and the peace
and harmony of the country secured, by the dis
missal from Office of G.. p. Judd and Richard Arm
strong ministers of finance and public instruction
Their ineificency and msdeeds may be artfuly
concealed from your Majesty, but their selfish
cupdty political mbecity and malieasance in
Office, are well known, and grievousy felt by your
people.
II the public good, made subservicnt TO personal
aggrandzement, the use of official and arbitrary
power, TO CRAFTY personal malice, ineficiency and
neglect in the discharge of official duties, and the
shameful betrayal Of the trust of a confding and
unfortunate people, merit public reprobation, and
the withdrawal of the trust confded to them, then
do they.
The public good and public feeling urgently de.
mand their dismissal. We earnestly and respect
fully petition that il may be done and not only we
but the almost universal cry is, that they may no
longer hold places in your maesty's confidence, or
OF national trust. Could the voices be heard OF
those thousands Of your majesty's people, who
have been so recently swept from time into an
awful eternity, through the criminal parsimony
and neglect OF these minister's they would cry
