While this great Metropolis of the world possesses establish-
ments for the formation of various arts and sciences, it is un-
adorned and destitute of a sufficiently spacious and convenient
structure fer the CULTIVATION of NATIVE MUSICAL
TALENT, which has in a great measure retarded the promo.
tion of that enchanting science in this country. The increas-
ing public and private taste for the acquirement of music—the
strong recommendations issued from the press—the establish-
ment of Singing Schools for all classes—and the great anxiety
displayed by Professors and Amateurs of Music to remedy this
national inconvenience—bas led to the formation of a plan for
establishing a Company for the erection of a splendid Edifice,
to consist of a spacious Music-hall, a minor hall, Singing
School, Library, and other necessary offices; and in order
that the building may be erected on the most scientific archi-
tectural plan, the designs will be open to public competition.

MEETING OF JOURNEYMEN
CURRIERS.

At a MEETING, held on Friday night, at the CROWN
and ANCHOR, King's Head-court, Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, of
the JOURNEYMEN CURRIE RS in LONDON, to take into
crnsideration the measures proposed by Sir Robert Peel, it was
resolved unanimously,--
l. this Meeting views, with deep regret, the tariff pro-
posed by Sir Robert Peel, as any reduction of the duty on
foreign curried leather will be most injurious to the Journeymen
Corners of this country.
2. That this Meeting considers that the reduction of any of
the duty on foreign-made boots and shoes, will have a direct
tendency to injure the interests of both the Master and Jour-
neymen Curriers. _ _ _

3. That it is the opinion of this Meeting. that if the tariff be
carried into effect, as proposed by Sir R. Peel, it would para-
lyse the commercial and trading interests of this country, and
ruin thousands of the middle classes; and throw hundreds of
thousands of working men out of employment. As these facts
have been admitted by Sir R. Peel, in one of his speeches, and
riot a single word said about how the persons thus ruined and
thrown out of work shall be provided for, this Meeting further
resolves—

That it has no confidence in the Minister that would attempt
such dangerous and visionary experiments, and tamper with the
best interests of the country, while these are so many easier
and better methods of making up the deficiency of the revenue.
4. That this Meeting get up a Petition to Parliament found-
ed on the foregoing Resolutions.
(Signed) RICHARD HODDLE, Chairman.
