At Cottons may be eeen a large painting of great merit ard originality of conception and execution, by A Hamlin of Bangor. It fa a view of Mount Katshdn, taken in the cold gray atmosphere at sunrise, when the shadows of the distant forests ere dark and gloomy, and the warm effects of sunlight are scarcely visible. The sunbeam fall upon the foreground and touch tbe distant forests, whilst the intermediate woods are in shadow. The scene represents an unbroken wilderness, whose only eigu of civilization is the smoke arising from tbe fire of an early hunter. The distance and perspective of the picture are idmiatbly managed.

Mount Ka-tahdn is supposed to be nearly fifty miles distant, and cold white clouds rest upon its sides and float above its lofty summit. This painting i' not calculated to be popular with con-noieieurs in general, but cannot fail to be highly appreciated by intelligent critics and stu dents of nature. It has been visited by many of oar most prominent artists, who have spoken of it in terms of unqualified praise, Surveying.

Such musie reminds us of the hog concert produced thi order ofTioUts XX. A greet number of bogs of different sges were confined in lent oovered' with velvet. In front of the tent 'there was an apparatus with keys, like sn organ. The keys with the bogs in the tent, apd were aYmed with, needles, so that when the performer touched the keye, the hogs were pricked by the needles, which made them to squeal in suoh order and harmony, that the king and those that were with him were highly delighted. 1 Utt, It is not probable that ou will adopt, in your rehearsal, musio of a questionable character, whatever may be its pretensions, or however much noise it may have made.

The Pe-nobcot Association has usually made the composition of the master its study. This is as it should be. It seems to me proper, too, that some attention should be giran to those more simple composition which the publie can best appreciate, so that by uniting both the publie taste may' be gratified, and gradu ally elevated to the standard which persons of musical culture have established for it. New Publication. Thb Atlantic Monthly is now universally acknowledged to be at the head of th mage line literature of this country, and is steadily piogressing, not only in ability, and strength, but in the tel patronage which alone can place an enterprise of this kind upon a perm a nent footing.

The November number (the table of eon tents of which may.be seen in an advertisement in this paper) is, we thick, quite equal to any of its predecessors and some of the at tides are especially able. Among them is canstic review of Mr. Caleb Cushings recent political course, more particularly in reference to his consistency in allyicg himself with modern democracy and pro-slavery flunkeyiam. The article is undoubtedly from the same pen by which Mr. Rufua Choate was flayed in the August number of this magazine.

As a specimen of the manner in which the writer pays his respects to Mr. Cushing, take the following sharp sentences in his notice of the labored reply of the Massachusetts statesman to South Carolina dinner invitation It occurred to us-suddenly that the next Democratic National Convention is to assemble in Charleston. It is not, therefore, too early to send in sealed proposals for the Presidency and if this letter is Mr. Cushings bid, we must do him the justice to say that we think nobody will be found to go lower. We doubt if it will avail him much but the pre-ceduit of Northern politicians going South for 01 and coming back shorn is so Ion established, that a lawyer like himseif will hardly venture to take exception to it.

Like his great namesake, the son ot Jephunneh, he may bring a gigantic bunch of grapes from this land bt large promise end small fulfilment, but we fear they will be of the variety which seta the teeth on edge, and fills the belly with that east wind which might have been had cheaper at home. Had a constituent of Mr. Cushing, in the Essex North District, taken a nap of twenty yeara, (and if be had invited hia Representative to dinner, and got such an answer ts the Craytonvtlle letter, the supposition is not extravagant) what would have been his amazement, on waking, to find his Member of Con-g-eas haranguing su assembly of Original Democrats in Tammany Hall Csius Marcius addressing the Volscian council of war would occur to him aa the only histono parallel for such a rhetorical phenomenon. But when Mr. Cushing apeaze with exultation of the past and with confidence of the future of the Original Democratic Party, we can think ot nothing like it but Charles II.

Spurgeons congregation of ten thousand persona unite in singing Old Hundred. It is said, that no one can listen to that majestic choral as it goes up to Heaven from that great multitude of voices, without being made to feel that musio has a power to move him as no other influence can. Those of us who listened to the singing of Old Hundred by the great audience that thronged this hall, at the concert given by the Penobscot Associa tion a year since, can have some idea of it effect. It was said by one who was present, that he never knew there wae any musio in Old Hundred until then. The unexpected occurrence of circumstances that the musio is designed to illustrate, at the time of ita performance, will cause it to pro duce thie effect.

At a ooncert in Portland several years since, when that magnificent chorus from the Crea tion, The Heavens are Telling, as being performed, the heavens were illuminated by a moat wonderful aurora. 1 he whole firmament, from horizon to zenith was blazing and flash iDg with streamers of various colors and shapes, The Heaven were, indeed. Telling the Glory of God 1 and the senses were spell-bound dur ing the performance of the piecejthe most unmusical listeners felt its influence in their inmost soul. Very different wee thee fleet of another piece which was performedln this city about the same time. A teacher of vocal music, more remarkable forhis vigor, than for the sweetness of his voiceblosed his school with a concert, One of the pieces selected by him to be per formed bn the occasion, was the Hailstone are sot to blame if they do not fall in love with either.

Aa instrumental part by Mias Gardiner, of Gardiner, as finely executed.

The loss will be from $1500 to $2000. Injured for $600 in the Augusta Company. It is not known how the fire occurred elation.

Funbbal of Pbof 'Cleavbland The fu neral services of the late lamented Prof Cleavelsnd, at Brunswick, were of the most impressive character. The college buildings were appropriately draped with mourning, flags were flying at half-staff, and a general stillness pervaded the wn. A procession was formed in front of the late Pr feasors house in the following order Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniore, Seniors, Bearers, tieerte, Beerere, Senior!

(Academical and Medical,) Firemen, Citizena Generally, The procession thence passed to the Congregational church, of which the deceased was the oldest member.

The services were commenced by a very appropriate invocation by Rev Prof Smyth, who also read the 90th P.alm and passages selected, from the 5th of John and tbe 15 th of 1st Corinthians. Then followed an exceedingly felicitous ad dress by Rev Dr Woods, President of the College, on the life and character of Prof Cleave-land. The remaining services io the church was a prayer by the Rev Dr Adams, the pastor. Hon Smart is pushing a paper for a new County, composed of parts cf Waldo and Lincoln counties, with Camden for the shire town, and to be called the county of Knox. Mr Smart was in fact elected to the Legislature solely on this ground.

Tbs scheme will be warmly opposed, however, and ita success seems to be very doubtful. A division of Lincoln county has been urged at each eeision of the Legislature, for some years past but Rockland has been the shire town ptopoaed. If a division is to be made, the Rockland people will be likely to insist strongly upon thtir claims.

Yesterday morning three men went below in a fishing boat, end about 11 o'clock, one of the number, named WiUtsm James Brock, of East irsett. was in the act of taking a loaded gun from its resting place, when tbe piece by some unknown mean was discharged, lodging the content in his right s.de, and killirg him instantly.

In order to produce great musical ffect, he conceived that lightning and hail should be introduced during the performance of the piece.

Ae he could not expect the nat ural to come at hia bidding, he provided a sub, stitute through the agency of gunpowder and beans The singers were a multitude, and the audience filled the house which was the First Parish and were doubtless impressed by the power of the singers, if not by the excellence of their performance. When the grand piece of the programme wse reached, each singer each young singer especially exerted him self to do the piece, and himself, ugtice. When they came to the passage, Fire I Hail Fire, ran aloDg upon the ground 1 they tested fully the strength of their lungs and the gunpowder and beans performed faithfully their office! The lightnings flashed, and the hail rattled against the windows, amidst the shouts of Fire Hail I The audience, thua unexpectedly taken by storm, were, of course, terrified. Men seized their hats, and rushed down the aisles as if the last day had come, and the women would have followed, had not some slight obstructions detained them until the conceit was discovered. It is to be regretted that all do not cultivate their natural love of musio, and thus enable themselves to aid in the advancement of the great art, end to participate in its pleasures.

But as tbis cannot be so, we must take thing ae they ere. Perhaps 10s cannot complain that this state of things exists. How many of us are there, who do all that we can, or, indeed all that we ought, in this matter Probably, very few. There is hardly one, I imagine, who expects to take the highest position aa a musician. And how many are there, who, like Cherubini, and other great composers, expect to compose their musio without the aid of any other instrument than pen, ink and paper, to so educate themselves, as to be able to hear the quality and relation of sounds in the minds ear 1 It is the complaint of persons of musical culture, here aud elsewhere, that the public do not appreciate the higher order of musical They do not seem to recollect that much study is necessary to understand tbis kind of music.

A chorus of Handel, or a symphony of Beethoven requires a trained ear to understand it fully, are the words of no mean authority. When the circumstances of people are such, that they have to devote all their time to seeking after the first necessities of life, they should hardly more be expected to be amateurs in mnsic, than connoisseurs in paintir.g or sculpture. When wealth accumulates, and they have time to devote to the cultivation of their artistic tastes, then, there will be reason for complaint if they neg-leet to do so. Some acquaintance with the masters is necessary in order to. be able to appreciate the beet kinds of music.

AU the wonderful compositions are not mnsic, that claim to be. Men who consider themselves artists and devote their time to musical composition, often mske great mistakes in what they ca 1 improvements. The ear may become accustomed to all aorta of German and Italian screeching," and at length come to relish it. as it may the murderous yell of the steam whittle, but -the public ticket leaviog any differences as to political doctrines or issues not immediately in question, to be settled hereafter. Tbis was a ra tional common-sense views of things in a State like Pennsylvania, where the Pro-slavery democracy could in no other way be beaten.

The results of the policy have been a most graifying and (in ita future effects) a most important overthrow of the administration in the very house of its friends in the house of the President. In view of the teachings of this great political event, the following remarks of the Providence Journal touching the unnecessary failure to carry Plorence's district are worthy of consideration, especially in some of the Massachusetts and New 'York districts, where the three parties are nearly balanced. We are glad to perceive, indeed, that there are growing indications of a union of ticket in many of the Districts and Counties of New York The vote in Navy Yard district, Philadelphia. was Plorence (administration) 6.186, Ryan (Republican) 5.693, Nebinger (artii-Lecom-ton; 2 135, with a tew acatteiing votea upan an independent American candidate. The vote against Florence, united upon a single candidate, would have carried the district by over 1,600.

The district has been thrown away by a dispute upon men, when there was substantial agreement upon principles. The New York Tribune very properly rein.rks that there is a sermon in these tew figures. It to be hoped that in the elections now pending, the plain application of this srrmon will not be lost. The country has, long enough, been ruled by a party that is really in the minority, and by men who crawl into power with one sec of principles and administer the government upon ano her. The great i vet bejore the country are distinctly made let the organization of parties be made upon thosr issues, and conform to 'he facts of the present, not to the half forgotten disputee of the past.

If the men who control the opposition will not agree to tbis, if they will insist upon the policy of defeat when the path to victory is clear before them, without any secritice of principle, then let the people themselves take up the matter, and tind new leaders. If old politicians are wedded to old ways that they refuse success, unless it crimes to them in precise accordance with the rules of old parties, then leave them among the things of the past, and follow the lead of those who art in the living present. The Musical Conventioh. The following a report of the remarks made at the opening the Convention on Tuesday, by Johx E. Godfbby, E-q President of the Penobacot Musical Association Me.

Godfeby, after some congratulatory remarks, said, that recollections of occasions of this kind, in which he had formerly taken part, him to think that musical people derived great pleasure from such re-unions. Persons who had not cultivated their musical capabilities, can hardly appreciate tbi pleasure. And yet it seemed to him that almost every one should be able to appreciate it, for he believed that there were very few who have not some natural fondness tor music. This belief is founded upon the fact, that almoat every infant, even when undet the infiuenoe of passion, or when suffering from pain, to some extent, is soothed and quieted by th musio of the lullaby. The pursuits and manner 6f life individuals often lead them to suppress this fondness, untiL at ler gth they come to declare, SPECIAL NOTICES.
