Show An Effect not Anticipated. Editors Herald: " Churchman" sent you a remark ably amiable and sensible article, last week, on the subject of the music at St. Mark's, in this city; and 1 am rejoiced re-joiced to be able to inform you that the end sought Jiy that writer, viz.: the discontinuance of the present style of music in that church, is in a fair way of "being 'realized; Bui this desirable a nsummatioH will be the result of the violent effect of "Churchman's" "Church-man's" letter, in an entirely opposite direct:on from that which he evidently evident-ly intended. He is doubtless a "con" servative," and somewhat of a rnugi-cal rnugi-cal "agrarian;" but his object will not be attained by conservatism; nor can agrarianism be at once inaugurated : for I plainly foresee that this choir must be permitted to .ehauxt itself, before it will be entirely" safe :to: at-, tempt " reconstruction." ' can better bet-ter illustrate my meaning by 'relating an occurrence that took place hi the " Old Dominion," many years ago: A gentleman of "elegant leisure" took twu of his nijirro men, ami 'his hounds, and went out to "drive Jor deer."

For those who heard the musical "coursing" at St. Mark's, on Sunday, the application is natural.
