en embargo for several days past upon all ves
sels, both at this port and at Laguayra, but by
the strenuous exertions of Mr. Shields, U. S.
Consol, the obnoxious decree w as removed.
Upwards of forty distinguished citizens of Car
accas embarked from Laguayra on the 1st inst.,
for Caracoa. A boat which hud been sent from
here to Laguayra, with dispatches, returned
again to-day. The crew of the boat, immedi
ately upon their arrival at Laguayra, were cap
tured, and the papers taken from them, after
which they were released and sent on board.
They held no communication with the eo
ple of Laguayra, but represent the great propor
tion of them as being armed. No passports
will be granted, under any consideration, for
the present consequently no persons of any
nation, can leave the country. A U. S. vessel
of war is much wanted her at present, to pro
tect the interests of American residents. Uu
sinessasa natural consequence, is extremely
dull.

HENRY CLAY AND IRELAND.
The following correspondence, which is
yielded to our solicitation by the party in this
city, will so fully explain itself, that little pre
face is necessary. We may state, however,
that the box or case of Razors which accompa
nied the letter to Mr. Clay, was of the finest
shell, inlaid with gold, bearing on its lid the
American Eagle resting on a shield, inscribed
with the name of Henkv Clay, surrounded by
an elegant scroll, and outride of this by a sem
rcle of twenty-niire, stars symbolizing the
several States of the American Union. The
bottom of the box is of the finest ivory, the ea
gle, sta-s, &c, are of gold, as are the hinges,
Fock and key, etc., and the lid is elegantly bor
dered with the same material. So rich and

C3"The following from that excellent pa-
Eer, the St. Louis Airw Era, gives a pretty
ard hit in a quiet kind to way to such sheets
as are conducted in the spirit of the Cincinnati
Atlas:
Commendable Akxiett. The Locofoctv
throughout the whole country are very fearfid
lest in electing Gen. Taylor the people should
make a President whose principles fire net
known. Tell the Locofocos that Taylor is firm
and honest; oh yes, but what does he think of
the Sub-Treasury. Tell them tha t Taylor can
not be overawed by power nor made to say or
do any thing which is wrong; very true, say
the Locos, but how about the Tariff. What
can be safer than elections good citizens? that's
all wellyiough, but what does your candidate
think about a national bank, replies the Loco.
Now, we think that Gen. Taylor labors under
the old fashioned delusion, called democratic
CHURCH MUSIC."
The Boston Courier says thai- nine-tenths vf the
fashionable church music, is a libel on devotion, and
ought to be hooted from tocieiy.
Too true, but what will be done about itf If there
is one thing for which we are willing to be taxed more
than another, it is for the support of music in our com
mon schools, for we hope another generation will be
able to make chu.?h mu.k.- whnt it eliould be devo
tion, not ncLe. Cambridg Chronic!,
We would be as public-spirited as our neighbor in
regard to taxation for the teaching of music in com
mon schools, if the music taught there were chiefly of
thnt sort that has no more vitality than the humming
of a dying locust. What improvement ha bern made
in the sinking in schools, wiikin two or three years,
we cannot undertake to say, for we have not ventur
ed w ithin the hearing of it wnce we were obliged to
visit official; the schools in our good city ol Cambridge.

Hon. Henrt Clay, Washington.
To the foregoing letter, which was trans
mitied to Mr. Clay with the box, through VV.
E. Robinson, Esq., Mr. Clay responded as fol
lows:) Washington, Feb. 19, ISIS.
Gentlemen: Mr. Robinson delivered to me
your friendly letter, with the exquisitely beau
tiful case of Razors which accompanied it.
This testimonial you have been pleased to of
fer in consequence of some feelings 1 express
ed, and some sympathies 1 cherished for the
suffering people of Ireland. Gentleman, I do
not des-rve it. 1 must have had a heart colder
Hn stone, if I bad been capable of listening to
the. wu account of Irish distress without the
deepest emotions. My regret was, that 1 could
do little or noting t0 lml,i,ate the miflVrinof
ageneious and galW people. Nor did my
own countrymen, 1 am fufl, ersuaded, require
any ttimulous from me. to prompt them to ex
tend all practicable succors, to tose with
whom we are intimately connected bysuiu.r)y
pleasing ties.
You tell me that the case and its contents
were mad abroad. They do not, on that ac
count, commend themselves less to ray accept
ance and admiration, 1 hope that 1 have liber
ality enough to recognise excellence, in Science
and in the Arts, whether displayed in foreign
theircontituents,and that the President should
sign them, and that he is but the executive offi
cers, to see that the people's laics are executed.
This was democratic doctrine in the time of
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, and we be
lie that Gen. Taylor is a good old fashioned
democrat that is to say, a sound new fashion
ed whig.
"AID AND COMFORT TO MEXICO.'
The following is a list of some of the most

The Kaffir and the Ladies. A few days
ago it is said, four ludies in the height (or
rather in the extreme breadth) of theCrenoli.ne
fashion, paid a visit to tha rebel chief Sandil
li.at his residence in theDrostdv:a well-known
gallant and witty colonel acting as cicerone to i
the party. With considerable address aud the
aid of the energetic colonel, each fair votary of
iasnion managt-d to convey ht-rselfand portable
wardrobe through the narrow doorwar (nnv
intended for a horse to enteral) of the chief's
apartm.-nt without much damage, and the par
ty stood fronting the group of wondering sava
ges, aandilli reclining on an iron hospital
stretcher, in graceful altitude, with his regal
tigf r-skin kaross carelessly thrown over him.
His brother, a splendid specimen of a rude
Kathr, stood on his left; iu all the pnde of na
tive dignity, whose fine limbs, and well de
veloped muscles no thong or wrappage had
helped to strangle in their growth a beautiful
a perfect model for a sculptor, and most
."traoge contrast to the made-up figures of his
grotesque milliner-made visitors. Around
these two were lying, sitting, and stauding
the other councillors, about a dozen in va
rious attitudes and stages of Kaffir no-fashion,
some au naturel, others blanketed and kaross-
ed. After a scrutinizing examination of the
various figures composing this picturesque
group of the elite of Kaffirland, and much crit
ical disquisition on the part of the ladies as to
the relative merits or the ancient Grecian stat
utes, &c, Saudilli was requested to stand up
and show himself. The chief wished to know
who the ladies were that he should stand in
their presence. "Tell him," said the jocose
colonel to the interpreter, "tell him they are
my wives, and that I have another at home, and
ask what he thinks of them." "Fie, Colonel ,"
twittered one young lady, "how can you tell
the chief such nonsense?" The interpreter ex
plained, the chief laughed and whispered to his
a',' who kughfd also, and the laugh went
ki k krde 8,1 staring at the four fashion-

they had occasioned ,mongst the natives.J.

and so on, through six or eight stanzas long metre.
This is generally done six times every Sunday. Be
fore this fashionable murder of a hyian is finiaherl,
those of the audience who are not meitully curbing
the stupidity of the choir, are asleep. It is a matter
of wonder that clergymen do not protest against pro
fanation. They must see that the general character
of the singing neither inspires devotion nor aids pi
ety. If choirs would sing some of the olJ American
tunes compositions of Billings, Read, Swan, and
Holden; intermingled with Old Hundred, St. Mar
tins, Bangor, and Colchester; and the like, tunes
which have a character that impresses itself on the
memory; and enables all the congregation to join in
tinging, they would not be obliged to sing nor would
the minister be obliged to preach so often to empty
pews or snoring woru.rs. A duet by a bumble-bee
and a musquito the humming of the first being the
bue, and the buzzing of the other the IrelU, would ex
hibit as much variety as the greater part of the sac
teJ music (.sacred trash) tint has been published du
ring the last thirty years.
But the good old days of New England music have
passed away, and singing-masters who could compose
and teach it, are known only in history as an extinct
race. "Professors" have taken their place, and very
properly have assumed this mora fashionable tide;
they proejt what they have not taste to appreciate,
power to teach, nor capacity to learn. It would be
difficult to nna a pu,m t mojern "Professor" or
even a "Professor" himlfwho could sing Billings'

which once had power to excitean audicnee,and which

Then, tlirec or four pages ol J!uls, that could be com
mitted to memory and reduced to practice in diree or
four evenings, were all-sulficient to bring forward a
choir of singers. Njib, fifty or a hundred pages of
"elements," made up of jaw-breaking derivations
trom Greek and Latin, and all the musical terms to
be found in the French and Italian vocabularies, clum
sily Anglicized or Yankeefied, are to be studied; and
if the pupil, after six months or a year's beating ol
brains, should get a tolerable idea of what the "Pro
fessor" would b at, (though many of the pupils get
tired and disgusted in less than half that time,) he is
probably qualified to join in the 1

We Itelieve it was the celebrated preacher, WniT
field, who first adapted devotional poetry to the old
popular songs of of the Scotch and English, because,
as he said it was not right that the devd ehould have
all the good music. If the good: old music could be
restored and once more Torm a part of public worhip,
we should be willing that the devd should take the
"Profews," and wish him much joy of his bargain.

rounding his own property wi thou being able at any
time to answer the question if put to himself, "Ves
