" The British German Legion having been disbanded

of the British army who were attached to it his Royal
Highness's high appreciation of their cervices during the
period-they were employed in the force, to which, in a
great degree, thehigh state of military efficiency at which
the Legion had arrived may be justly attributed.

The following circular memorandum was issued yes.
terday, addressed to officers commanding regiments—
cavalry, infantry, Royal Artillery, and Royal Engineers
—and to general officers in command :
"Horse Guards, Dec. 4.
"The proposal of his Royal Highness the General Com-
manding-in-Chief to establish a military school for music
having received the support of all officers commanding
regiments in the service, measures will be adopted with-
out-delay to place the school in working order.
"To meet the expenses connected therewith, -com-
manding officers are requested to cause the sum of 5/. to
form a fund for the purchase of instruments, &c., and the
anneal subscription of 81. for the support of the institu-
tion, to be paid into the hands of Messrs. Cox and Co.,
of Craig's-court, as soon as possible, to the credit of the

Military Music Fund. -
"It is hoped that the institution will be ready to re-
ceive pupils on the Ist of January ; of this, however,

due notice will be given.
" The building in which the school will be temporarily
established is capable of accommodating 100 men, and
each regiment at home will, as a commencement, send
to the Adjutant-General the names of two men, or one
man and one enlisted boy or lad, for instruction as
musicians, bugle-majors, or trumpet-majors ; those in-
tended to qualify for the two latter appointments being
men who have already acquired some knowledge of their
instruments, or, should the commanding-officer consider
any man, from his musical knowledge and general in-
telligence, likely to make an efficient leader, ke may
submit his name as one to be perfected as a bandmaster.
"It is indispensable that the candidates selected
should be of exemplary character, that they have musi-
cal ability, and be capable of turning th&r instructio❑
to good account ; and that the boys or lads should have
exhibited a musical aptitude. Regulations for the conduct
of the institution are in course of preparation, and will
be furnished to every regiment and corps in the army
as soon as they are completed.
" By command.
" G. A. WETHERALL, Adjntant-General."

(ADVERTISEMENT.I—The difficulties and dangers of bringing
' up Infants by hand or wet nurses have been entirely Over-
come by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food, which
feeds, strengthens, and removes all those little pains and irre-
gularities infants ate so subject to. The following letters
speak volumes :—" Grammar School, Stevenage, 16th Dle„
1850. Gentlemen,—l think it but common justice to you to
state that I have used Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica for the
last four months, during which time our infant has never had
disordered bowels, from which it had suffered much during
the previous six months, whilst being nursed, though every
care was taken to prevent it. Had I known of your valuable
