Music ScHooL-It will be readily conceded that Bos
ton possesses many more advantages for artistic cul
ture, and especially in that of music, than any other
city in the Union. Prominent among these is our mu
sic school, already Incorporated and in fourishing
condition This school is conducted on plan similar
to that of the conservaores of Europe, and meets
want which has long existed in this country The
board of instruction comprises the most efficient and
experienced professors that be procured To those
who wish to prepare themselves for teachers artists
this school affords facilities. 1t offers especial in
ducements to those who wish to avail themselves not
only of its instruction. but of the opportunity it af
fords Of attending the various musical entertainments
since an important feature of good musical educa-
tion and that should never be neglected consists
in the frequent opportunity of hearing artistic per-
foamances of the highest order. All these can be en-
joyed in the music school at much less expense than
elsewhere. Each pupil is allowed to pursue three
different studies, the price of the whole being but s25
per term of twelve weeks.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, Dec. Sd, 1859.
Mr.. Editor: 1t ran through the streets last
night-it was cried by the news-boys and en-
blazoned by gas-light, that John Brown had
been hung. John Brown the heroic friend of
the slave, and the self-doomed martyr in the
cause of humanity!
When one by the infringement of law can
give himself the character of martyr, it shows
that the law is a very baa one, and not exactly
suited to the necessities of the times. The pre-
rious question was wholly ignored in his case +;
and the law\was executed with as much firm
ness as if the case was one Of the simplest kind,
Invested of all collateral considerations, imply
ing either want of perception of its merits on
the part of The authorities or an unwillingness
to enter into just and equitable analysis.
If the slave holding states proceed in this
simple way with the complex questions to which
their own institutions give rise, how can they
expect the free states to be more careful and
considerate in the disposal of such questionsP
How can it be expected that the free states will
hesitate in carrying out their simple ideas of
law and justice if the slave states themselves
do not set examples to the contrary How
can the slave states complain of simple abstract
justice if they themselves administer such JUS
ticep To say to John Brown that he died for
the infringement of law that is as just and
holy as any other law, would have been as APP
propriate to the execution of John Huss as to
his own.
But the slave states havcthus set an example
of firmness in the execution of law; and moth
ing now remains for the free states but to do

New York MAYoRALTY ELEcTIoN.-Fer-

City on Tuesday, by handsome plurality, not
withstandng he was opposed by Tammany Hall,
Post Office, Custom House, and other democrat.
c cliques to say nothing of the Republicans,
The vote stood as follows: Wood Independent
democrat, 30,l2j IIavcmeyer, Tammany Hall
democrat, 26,S43; Opdyke, Republican, 81, 773;
Woods plurality, 1881. Greene c. Bronson,
on the wood ticket, was elected Corporation
Counsel by still larger vote, his plurality being
1861. This is a great personal triumph for
Wood. Fernando is smart; some say that he
is corrupt, as John Randolph once said Of Clay,
that "like rotten mackerel by moonlight he
stnks and shines and shines and stinks." Fer
nando is as honest as his party, which is prob
ably "as honest as the times will admit Of"
hence we think he will make very excellent
Mayor for the democratic city of New York.
For one we are glad that the Republicans
stuck to their own candidate. They have done
enough in helping to elect democrats on the mo
party" ticket. The democrats have majority
of more that two to enc in the city. If they
want respectable man for Mayor they can elect
him if they choose. If they like Wood the
Republicans can stont it as long as they can.
