The Rocs Uarmonicon A new and
CuriouS instrument has been exhibited at
Willis's Room for some weeks, which has
excited a great deal of interest in the musi
cal world. It is called the ' Rook II armo.
nicon,' a sort of stone piano-forte. It is
composed of bnrs of a brown slaty-, stone
taken from the rocks of the Skiddawmqun
tm'o in Cumberland. The stone Is ifemark
able for its sounding qualities, and rings
with a ton clear as boll-meta!. Tie.toDe
of the smaller bars, or upper notes, much
rescoibles in clearness and' brilliancy the
high notes of the piano-forte. The slips of
stone are laid transversely upon a frame
work of wood, and played upon with wooden
mallets,,. There is nothing between the
siono and the wooden frame but a small
band of straw and at piece of leather, upon
which each stone rests in two separate
i daces." The instrument is the invention of
If r. Joseph Richardson of Keswick, a per
son of an untaught musical genius, whose
occupation on the Skiddaw mountain led
him to observe that each piece 'of rock
which he took up gave out a different and
distinct musical note, according to its size,
and he conceived the idea of constructing
an instrument composed of pieces of the
rock. The result was the production of
the Rock Uarmonicon, which, after a good
deal of patient perseverance, he brought to
a perfection which is truly surprjfsihgX He
next instructed his three sons (all of a mu
sical turn) to play upon it; and, after twelve
months practice, they have come to London
the mart of all that is new or curious.
They play all kinds of musical composition
with the greatest facility and skill, and the
music is of the most novul, yet charming'
kind. Thousands of persons have made
repeated visits to the rooms for the purpose
of hearing thi delightful-music ol the Rock
Uarmonicon. Loud. Cor. Boston Post.

Mr. Editor : It was on the 20th of July

'special request, took mo to the residence ol
Noah Webster, L. L. L). l ou may wci
imagine the feelings with which I saluted
one whose literary labors had formed my
chilJhood, and whose present attainments
in the knowledge of the bnglish language

Macklin was exceedingly quick nt a re-
nlv. estiecially in a dispute. One ilav Doc-
tor Jiohnson was contesting some dramat
ical rpiPStion, and quoted a passage from n
G-reek poet in support of his opinion. " I
don't understand Greek though, Doctor,"
said Macklin., Sir," said Johnson, pom
pously, ' a mn who undertases lo argue,
should understand all languages." "Oh,
very well," returned Macklin, "ho? will
you answer this argument?" and immtdi
utely treated him to a long quotation in
Irish.
i -
Ono night, sitting at the back of the front
boxes witnagenncimn 01 iim acquaintance,
one of the underbred box-lobbv. loungers of
the day stood up immediately, before him,
iinil bteeng rather large in person, covered
the sight of the stnp; from him. Every
body expected ilial Macklin would have
knocked .the fellow down notwithstanding
tiiasize, but he managed the matter in an
other temper." Patting him gently 'on the
shoulder 'with his cane, hu requested o! him
with much apparent politeness, "that wheii
he suv or heard any thing rcry entertaining
on the stag.-, ho would bo pleased to turn
round and let him and the gentleman beside
him know of it ; "for yu s-e, my dear
sir," a-J led the veteran, "th:;t at present we
must totally depend upon you as a tele
graph." This had the desired tlfect, and
the lounger walked off.
Talking of th -caution noccpsciry to he
used in conversation amongst a mixed Com
'tiriv, Macklin observed," Sir, I have ex
perienced to my cost that a man in any si;,
union of life should never be oil' his guard.
Il is l!i- fault of the I.ish that they are too
ready to 'commit' them.selVes. Now, this
never liuppens with the Scotch ; a Scotch,
man is always on the look-out ; he never
lives a-mo.nicnt rxiempore, and that is one
'reat reason why he is not so successful in
life as we see."
Macklin was very intimate with Frank"
dayman' (at that'time one of our b -st his
torical painters.) and happening to call eu
him ono morning soon after the death of the
painter's wife, 'with whom he (Frank) had
lived lit it on indifferent terms, he fouod him
wrangling with the undertaker about hi
high charge for the funeral expenses.
Macklin listened to t!i-i altercation for some

ADDRESS:
Fellow. Citizens : The extra session of
Congress has. at length, been brought to a
lei , sc. The incidents -which belong-to the
hi 5tory uf this session, and especially those
I which h ive marked its termination, arc of
a nature to make so strong an impression
upon the country, and lo excite so much in-lere.-t
in the future action and p lotions of
the Whig party, that the Whig R preseu
latives m both Houses "of Congress Have
thought it their duty, before separating, to
adlicss their constituents with a brief expo,
siti n of the circumstances in which they
conceive themselves to b-: placed by the
events which have recently transpired.
