THE sudden and unexpected decease of the late
Mr. GEORGE HOLD FN having left his Widow
and Family totally unorovided for, and in great pecuniary distress,
a Committee of Gentlemen have been formed, for the purpose of
Collecting Subscriptions, with a view tp 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 Pub:ic are many. For a xericd of upwards of Thirty Years as
Pianist, Conductor of. the "Apollo Glee Club." " Festival Choral
Society," tye., &c., his se vices were always cheerfully afforded for
any Charitable purp-se, vthilat most of the Church Choirs in the
Town and Neighbou,h( o l are indebted to him for the Training the
Members have received for Choral purvoses.
The interesting and melancholy situation of his Widow (approach-
ing her Aceouchement), and the destitute condition of 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 p his purpose will be thankfully received by the
Committee, at'th e diffrrent Bantu, and by Mr. Radley, at the Ade:phi
Hotel, where the Committee me.t every SATURDAY EVENING, at
Eig .t o'clock.

NOTICE TO PAPER- MAKERS.
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, us connected with the adverti ement duty and the news-
paper stamp. Nothing will tend so 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 fad obliged by
any sddiition to its information on this subject, and will be ready to
consider the practicability of obtaining redress in any individuals
ease of grievance.
