regarded as the tonic note, and starting point, no matter what the key. Relative, not absolute pitch is considered. The tone in which a piece is to be sung being indicated before commencing, the same nomenclature is always employed; and thus a melody will be written in the same manner, whatever its actual pitch. Something of this kind was invented by Rousseau. who employed numbers instead of letters; and the scheme has been reproduced over and over again in variously modified forms. But its inapplicability to any thing beyond the very simplest kind of vocal music is just as evident now as it was a century ago, and those who dream of the Tonic Sol-fa"

ever being universally adopted as a system of musical notation are more likely to injure than benefit the excellent object to which it is now directed, without moreover the remotest probability of ultimate success.

Now what is here put forward as the "great philosophical" feature of the plan--that of regarding Do always as the tonic or key-note-is nothing new at all. In this country it is in use in schools and choirs, in musical conventions and institutes, wherever in fact the system introduced by LOWELL MASON, as the "Pestalozzian system," is in force. It is a curious fact, that here in America the innovators wage war against the use of Do for every key-note, as against the popular and settled prejudice, while in England the relation between reformer and conservative

in this matter is precisely the reverse. But new systems of notation can do comparatively little harm. when we consider that they are for the most part only applicable to the simplest exercises in singing, and that it would be hardly possible to write out a complex composition, say a fugue of Bach, according to any one of them. And meanwhile, at any rate, the "Tonic Sol-fa" professors are doing England and the world a service, if they can inspire thousands of children with a true zeal for learning to sing.

Musical Chit-Chat.

Those of our citizens who owe pleasant recollections to the tenor singing, in opera and concert, of Signor GUIDI, now in distress, with loss of voice and health and means, will have an opportunity to return somewhat of the debt this evening. by attending the Benefit Concert arranged for him in a semi-private way by some of our best artists, at the Chickering saloon. Tickets at 50 cents may be had at the music stores and at the door. Mrs. WENTWORTH, the sweet singer, Mr J. C. D. PARKER, and Mr. LANG, pianists, Mr. SCHULTZE, violinist, JUNGNICKEL violoncellist, and RYAN, clarionettist, will contribute to the programme, which contains a choice variety of pieces.

served up in potpourris sweet reminiscences of 'Tell,' L'Etoile du Nord and the Traviata, besides voluptuous waltzes, and occasionally a bit of Beethoven.

Among the passengers by the Canada, which arrived at this port yesterday, were Signors RoNCONI and TAGLIAFICO, engaged for the Marshall-Maretzek opera troupe. The rival companies are not yet fused exactly into one, but a treaty of “amicable” alliance is announced between them, whereby there will be an interchange of singers, and the whole force of both troupes will appear in turn at the N. Y. Academy, and we presume in Philadelphia and Boston. The treaty has already been ratified in New York by the announcement of GAZZANIGA. BRIGNOLI and AMO. DIO, under the Ullman flag, in that most wonderful of novelties, the Trovatore. The great operatic event, however, of the week has been the performance of Rossini's "Barber," with Mme LAGRANGE, LABOCETTA, GASSIER and Rocco in the leading characters.... VIEUXTEMPS and Thalberg gave their first concert in Philadelphia last evening....In the same city the famous Ronzani Ballet troupe draw crowded and delighted houses by the ballet of "Faust." which is said to be of unprecedented splendor for this country. The principal dancers are said to be truly artists, the performance an artistic whole, complete in all details, and bringing 200 persons at once upon the stage. CARL BERGMANN conducts the orchestra.

MUSICAL INSTRUCTION,

-RY

DR. GUSTAV SCHILLING.

CARD.

One of the first scientific musicians of Europe, and decidedly the ablest and most thorough teacher of music. Dr Gustavus Schilling, author of a number of most superior didactic and other musical works, has arrived here to establish in the United States a Public Academy of Music, similar to the Conservatoires of Europe. I am anxious to recommend him most urgently to all those who seek higher perfection in the science of music. S. THALBERG.

New York, 1857.

Before realizing my project (already announced in American Music Journals) of a Musical Conservatory I propose to give special instruction to Ladies and Gentlemen desirous of becoming accomplished artists or competent teachers. Instruction will be imparted in the following branches, viz:

1st-Piano-forte. Organ, Singing, (to include hereafter, also, every other instrument)

2d-The general science of Muste-Harmony, Composition, Structure or Form. Theory of Instruments, Instrumentation, History, Esthetics. Acoustics, Didactics.

In the former of these departments instruction will be imparted to each pupil individually; in the latter several punile can participate jointly. All these subjects of study will follow in regular course, each pupil receiving instruction daily. Any person, however, may devote himself either to one or several of the branches, at pleasure

I also propose to perfect amateurs in either one of the above stu-lies
