THE MORNING ADVERTISER.

Our readers will find in another part of our paper, a
report of the proceedings at, the great meeting of the
Proprietors of the Morning Advertiser, held at the Lon-
don Tavern yesterday. It will will be observed, that
there were from 700 to 800 persons present, being by
far the largest meeting of the proprietors ever held
since the establishment of the paper, upwards of sixty
years ago. We do not point, in terms of exultation,
to the result of the division, which affirmed, by a
majority of 517 to 212, that no changes have taken
place in the Committee of Management or in the
Editorial department of this journal, and that 116 e
paper will continue to be conducted on the same
political and general principles as before,—though it
may well be supposed bow great is the gratification
with which we regard that result. Never, we venture
to say, in the records of journalism, has a more resolute
battle been fought for the Freedom of the Press than
the one which has been carried on in the persons of theal
Committee of Management and Editor of this journal,
without without one moment's intermission, during t
months. Should the history of that struggtleihneetvaerreactoimage

of
a letter from
Mr'. Wild, of Hyde, C.icshire, dated August 5, 1854 :
‘‘l.
Professor Holoway. Sir,—Mrs. Newton,
resid-
ing in Hanover-street, in this town, was afflicted with
asthma for many years, a difficulty of breathing, and a
violent cough, causing acute pains in her side, more par-
ticularly so when she took cold. She tried many reme-
dies, and consulted different individuals, without ob-
taining any favourable result. I then advised her to
take your pills, and, after a few weeks, she was consi-
derably better, and by persevering with them she is
now perfectly cured." Sold by all vendors of medicine,
and at Professor Holloway's establishments, 244, Strand,

We obser►e that the approaching meeting of the Lon.
don Sacred Harmonic Society is to be distinguished by
the presentation of a testimonial to Mr. Surinam, the
gentleman who has been the conductor, to the 'moiety
from its oommencement, and who fed many years was
the conductor of a kindred society, whose commis
are
also held in Exeter-hall. Mr. Surman deserves well
from the admirers of sacred music, for Vie ability -forbad,
he has uniformly displayed in the selection of hie •ab.
jects, and his control of the large masses, whose ezeel.
lent training and efficient performance have been there.
sults of his skill in teaching, and his power as a
leader of these ma:Wm performances. Sine* this
gentleman commenced his labours as the conductor of
the Sacred Harmonic Society, great progress has been
made in diffusing a taste for sacred music in the metre,.
polis and throughout the country ; and we believe an
one who is acquainted with the history of the musical
world in this metropolis for the last twenty years, needs
to be told of the large share gr. Surman has had in the
great progress which musical science has made. The
concerts of this gentleman in Exeter-Hall, in point of
time, took the lead in the successful efforts to procure
for the public a superior class of music on terms within
their reach ; and among those who have laboured with
honour and success in this field, there is no one who has
stronger claims on the public gratitude than the veteran
to whom the London Sacred Harmonic Society, aided.
by all the friends of harmony and social progress, ha
about to do honour on the forthcoming occasion, on
Monday next, the 20th inst.—Morning Advertiser.
