A meeting of the subscribers and donors in aid of
Sunday music in the parks was held at the Cranbourn
Hotel, St. Martin's lane, last night, for the purpose of
receiving a report of the proceedings of the past season,
and a balance sheet of receipts and expenditure; Ricbd.
Moore, Eq., in the cha,:r.
The CHAIRMAN explaiutd that the object of the meet-
ing wad to lay before the subscribers an account of the
money expended for bands in the parks during the last
season, arr.l he believed that all would be satisfied they
had discharged their duty to the best of their ability.
The SEORTARY then read a minute of the last meeting
of the committee, a report of their proceedings fir the
season, and some letters of apology from gentlemen who
approved of the objects of the committee, but regretted
they could not attend the meeting. The report in the
first instance adverted to the liberty given by the Go-
vernment, in the first instance, to have hats play in
the parks, and their subsequent withdrawal, by order
of Lord Palmerston, at the instance of the Archbishop
of Canterbury. A deputation then waited on his lord-
ship, requesting he would reconsider the question, but
to ne effect, and they then formed themselves into a
committee to collect subscriptions, for the purpose of
procuring private bands. The amount received as sub-
scriptions and donations -was 2291. 18s. 40. ; for the
sale of programmes in Regent's-park, 1751. 13s. 2d.,

[Anvsarissmssr.]—Medicine always aggravates chronic dis-
eases, such as dyspepsia (indigestion), flatulency, habitual con-
stipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, dm., but Du
Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food invariably cures them
in a very short time. We extract two out of many thousand
expressions of gratitude from invalids :—From the Dowager
Countess of Caatlestuart-. Cure 52,612.—Rosstrevor, County

Food has cured her, after all medicines had failed, of indiges-

standing. This food deserves the confidence of all sufferers,
and may be considered a real blessing. Inquiries will be
cheerfully answered.—'l4.evagler, Gulval, near Penzance,. Feb.
