md we proposed to notice the gratifying change \hich lias recently taken place in it, by substi-uting the good old English ballad school for he Italian abom ination. If it he the true province of music to convey pure and elevating entiment to the mind through the medium of he senses, we should suppose that the less there is of flummery about it, in the shape of quavers, semi-quavers, and double-domi-semi-rpiavers, the more certain would it be of effecting that object. The sentiment should never be lost in excess of sound or ornament; for when it is, vocal music sinks at once to a level with instrumental, which delights the senses merely-We go for clear and distinct enunciation, accompanied by action ; we want to be convinced that the singer appreciates the sentiment himself, and then we can think him qualified to impart it to others. Russell commenced the good work of reform, and those who have “ followed in his footsteps” have had no cause to lament it. Throughout the past season, concerts of this character have been well patronised, and will, we doubt not, continue to be so. The Italian school can never receive much favor from a people sucli as ours. Wc can look upon a bal-Iad-singer with some satisfaction ,* but a professor of the Italian, in his finest passages, alT ways reminds us of a ruilled grimalkin. Let the motto be simplicity, common sense, and consequent refinement.De given; lor me lasi jiscat year, ana instcau oi the nine enormous tables, by which the document is eked out some two hundred pages, the three last, containing substantially the whole,would have sufficed.

From the abstract we learn that during the last fiscal year, 1,521,061 tons of inerdhandise have been transported on the canals, the aggregate value of which was 892,202,920.
