The Progress of Musical Taste. — It is pleasant to notice the rapid increase of this delightful study,, and to note that, besides the workmen's instrumental bands which have become ' so common, many schools now organise them, partly by the subscriptions of the boys and their friends, and, by others who take interest in the schools. Drums, fifes, &c, are purchased ; and, in a surprisingly short time, the young performers are able to discourse very fair music. A similar movement has been made in ; several divisions- of' • the police, and. already have the police bawls become a pleasure to others as w6ll as a great source of amusement to the men. A popular .preacher lately enriched one of his sermons with this jewel—"Remember, I beseech you, that we are sailing down ahe stream of time,'; and must inevitably land in the ocean of eternity."
