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

The claims of the We Mr. George Holden upon the consideration
of the Vubiic are many. Fora period of upwards of Thirty Years as
Pianist, Conductor of the "Apollo Glee Club," " Festival Choral
Society," &c., &c., his sci Vices were always cheerfully of girded for
any Charitable purse, whilst most of the Church Choirs in the
Town and Neighbourhoo t 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 Aceonchement), and the destitute condition 01 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 -Allis purpose will be thankfully received by the
Committee, at'the dill, rent Bank•, aid by Mr. itadley, at the Adelphi
Hotel, where the Committee met every SATURDAY EVENING, at
Eigdt o'clock.

Chairman—R Fhard Moore. Secretary—C. D. COLett.
NOTICE TO PAPER.aI AKERS.

The association has every reason to believe that the irregularities
and anomalies incidental to the collection of the paper duty, are
quite as numerous as those which for many years it was engaged in
exposing, es connected with the advertisement duty and the news-
paper stamp. Nothing will tend PO much to the abolition of the
p ,per 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 obtaining redress in any individuals
case of grievance.

Sub.criptions to be paid to Meyers. Prescott and Grote, Thread
ne,dla-street ; to the treasurer, J. A. Novell°, 69, Dean-street
Sono; or to the sub-treasurer, Dr. Watts, 3, Hilldrop Crescent

All other communications should be addressed to the secretary.—
