MUSIC. • THE Muffled Bell ; a Tribute to the

Memory of our late beloved Sovereign George IV. Written and composed by W. KIRBY. Mr. KIRBY'S words and music are suitable to the subject. The-in- troduction of HANDEL'S Dead March in Saul is not a novel idea ; it was employed by Dr. CROTCH (though with new harmonies) in his Funeral Anthem for the Duke of York ; but Mr. KIRBY has shown judgment in the use to which he has turned it.
