From a circular sent to us we learn that a
number of members, sub- scribers, and friends of the Sacred Harmonic Society, have resolved to present a testimonial to Mr. Robert Bowley, the Society's honorary libra- rian, as a mark of their sense of the important advantages derived by the Society from Mr. Bowlers zealous and efficient exertions during the past eighteen years. A numerous committee has been appointed ; and the subscription for the testimonial, which already exceeds 2001., is to be closed on the 20th of this month. It deserves encouragement. The rise and progress of the Sacred Harmonic Society is the greatest musical event of our day. This progress, accompanied by a corresponding development on the part of the public, has been the work of a body of amateurs, among whom Mr. Bowley has been prominent from the very first for the zealous, enlightened, disintelested, and influential character of his labours.
