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 recollec. tions 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.
