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. From the Charleston Observer.
