II scarcely requires reference to the never
falling influence of the Marsellois Hymn in
France-of the RAM des Vache in Switzer-
land, and of God save the King in England, to
convince the world of the power which national
airs exercise over the passions and energies OF
all men, in all countries. None partake more of
this enthusiasm than our own citizens; but Ame-
rica labors under an Inconvenience in arousing
this influence in public places, which is not felt
in any of the Nations we have named, which is
that the National airs Of our country have never,
or seldom been arranged for full orchestras. Mr.
Caldwell, whose eXertions are ever alike to in
culcate good taste, and indulge every patriotic
feeling. has long wished to make our national
airs familiar to the st. Charles theatre but has
hitherto labored under the deficiency we allude
to, and we but embody his wishes and feelings
in drawing attention to this subject. To remedy
this want and to crafty the public wish, he
offers reward to any competent musical man,
who will arrange for full orchestra three of our
National airs,-W Washington's March, h,-IIail Co.
Yankee Doodle.


The want of good orchestral arrangement of
these national airs, has hitherto prevented their
being played in the St. Charles, as often, or as
well, as was earnestly wished and in the fulfil
ment of this proposition, Mr.. Caldwell will not
only be enabled to crafty the public by ndugng
their enthusiasm for national airs, but encou-
rage competition among our musical men which
must tend to the enlargement of good musical
taste.-N. O. .Anaericaa.
