SIR  HENRY  BISHOP."1*  ^ 
This  eminent  English  composer  expired  on  the  1st  of 
May.  His  high  merits  as  a  musician  fully  warrant  the 
large  share  of  popularity  he  enjoyed;  hut  a  detailed 
analysis  of  them  may  be  postponed  for  some  future  occasion. 
The  more  pressing  necessity,  is,  to  co-operate  with  those 
friends  who  have  formed  themselves  into  a  Committee- 
and  whose  object  may  be  best  explained  by  reprinting  the 
statement  they  have  put  forward  :—>
