" England's Hope." Sung by all the Principal Vocalists at

the Conserva- tive Meetings. Composed by H. R. Bisnoe. How does it happen that BISHOP, with his acute perception of all that is really grand and graceful in music, should now have produced a mere commonplace ebullition of noise and vulgarity ? Was this in compliance with his publisher's suggestions, or did the subject prompt the honest effort of his muse ? What " principal vocalist" has sung this song ? We suspect that for " all," " none" should be substituted.
