other Composition. by Eminent Composers, Native and Foreign,

composition and elegance of appearance with the lowest possible
price. In proof of their intentirms, the Prorsistors are able to men-
tion the name. of Mrs. II Beckett, M. W. Italie, Benedict, Edward
Loder, Alexander Lee, F. G. Reed, J. 11. Tully, Vincent Wallace,
who, with other popular Compo-ero, have already contributed to
