According to his statement, it is composed of more than 450 instruments; namely, 253 flutes of various tones, 92 violins, 27 flauti traversi, 27 flauti picoli, 24 fagotti, 27 clarionets and oboes.

The author is also exerting himself for the formation of a society, the objects of which shall be: 1st. To promote a more general opinion, that duelling originated in a false idea of true honour, and should be discontinued in this enlightened age.2d. To promote the establishment of one or more courts, for the redress of injured feelings in such cases as are not within the spirit of existing laws.-3d. To obtain the enactment of new legislative measures, for the abolition of a practice which was despised by the bravest of mankind, including Turenne, Raleigh, Cæsar, and Napoleon.

Publishers, Authors, Artists, and Musical Composers, are requested to transmit on or before the 15th of the month, Announcements of Works which they may have on hand, and we shall cheerfully insert them, as we have hitherto done, free of expense. New Musical Publications also, if a copy be addressed to the Publisher, shall be duly noticed in our Review; and Extructs from new Books, of a moderate length and of an interesting nature, suitable for our Selections, will be acceptable. Witless Wildfire's Ode on the Death of Lord Byron-Verses, on the same subject-The Emancipation of Greece-The Three Pilgrims-A Song (from Liverpool)-Lines to R. C. are inadmissible. We are of opinion, that no benefit could arise from the discussion of the subject of Detector's communication. If J. J. S. can furnish us with such a Memoir as he alludes to, or materials for one, we have no doubt that it would gratify many of our readers. The Second Number of Village Sketches near Paris has been received, and shall appear in our next Number. The curious narrative in illustration of a popular superstition of Germany, shall also have a place in our next.
