THE sudden and unexpected decease of the late
Mr. GEORGE HOLDEN having left his Widow
and Family totally unprovided for, and in great pecuniary distress,
a Committee of Gentlemen have been formed, for the purpose of
Collecting Subscriptions, with a vlew to afford them some temporary
relief, and to endeavour to make some little provision for their future
welfare.

The claims of the la'e Mr. George Holden upon the consideration
of the Public are many. For a period of upwards of Thirty Years as
Pianist, Conductor of the "Apollo Glee Club," " Festival Choral
Society," &c., &c., his services were always cheerfully afforded for
any Charitable purpose, whilst most of the Church Choirs in the
Town and Neighbou, hoo 1 are indebted to him for the Training the
Members have received for Choral purposes.
The interesting and melancholy situation of his Widow (approach-
ing her Accouchement), and the destitute condition 431 his Family,
commends itself to the favourable consideration of the humane and
charitable, and the Committee respectfully solicits their assistance
to enable it to carry out the object it has in view.
Donations for this purpose will be thankfully received by the
Committee, at'the different Banks, and by Mr. Hadley, at the Adelphi
Hotel, where the Committee me_t every SATURDAY EVENING, at
Eig,,t o'clock. s

NOTICE TO PAPER.M AKERS.
The association has every reason to believe that the irregularities li
and anomalies incidental to the collecti-n cf the paper duty, are
quite as numerous as those which for many years it was engaged in
ramming, as connected with the advertisement duty and the news-
paper stamp. Nothing will tend so much to the abolition of the
paper duty as a systematic attack upon the injustice which it inflict
in individual cases. The association will therefore feel obliged by
any addiition to its information on this subject, and will be ready to
consider the practicability of obtaluing redress in any individuals
case of grievance.

Subscriptions to be paid to Messrs. Prescott and Grote, Thread-
nerdla.street ; to the treasurer, J. A. Novello, 69, Dean.street,
Sono; or to the sub-treasurer, Dr. Watts, 3, Hilldrop Crescent,

AB other communications should be addressed to the secretary.—
By order of the Committee, C D. COLLET, Secretary,
