POLYPHONY.

Mr. Love, the celebrated Pol)phonist, on Wednesday
evening entertained a numerous and respectable audience
at Crosby Hall, Biahopsgato-street, by the exhibition of
his extraordinary feats of ventriloquism and polyphony.
The pieces selected for the exhibition of his talents were
"A Voyage to Hamburgh" and "A Christmas Party in
the Olden Time." In the former piece the characters,
selected from the miscellaneous group of deck and cabin
passengers of the steamer, were of the most amusing
description, and their c<lloquial peculiarities admirably
hit off. In the latter piece the transformations were
most rapid and successful, and called forth at each
change the cheers and hearty laughter of tkecearl!liteonfe,
The performer changed from " a military o„fti
servir.g lad," from the serving West India
enutongato., fashionable and

mutedgentleman," from that pe,rsoTnage

and, finally, the old gentleman into the talented an
amusing lecturer himself.
The curious power of ventriloquism was most ex-
cellently shown in a conversation between Mr. Love and
an imaginary bricklayer, who was supposed to he on the
roof of the building. The deception was most perfect,
sad the " oral perspective" of distance (as the lecturer
