The hero Of the evening, Mr. Wallace, appear

tic renewed proof OF his superior genus. The
piece he played was from the beginning to the
end a masterpiece Of composition and execution
One would have thought that the greatest scholar
Of Arcamgolo Corelii, the sublime Laeatelli-tha'
Lacateli whose works were almost unknown IN
their vast bearings until the time Of Paganini,
who studied them thoroughly to form his new
style, had appeared again upon the scene, end
lad come to play again upon his VIOLIN TO charm
the audience on Monday evening at the Apollo.
What pure Italian melody from the beginning to
the end, in the Allegro, the Serenade, and in the
final Barcarole What profound knowledge OF
harmony in the accompaniment of the orchestra.
In short, what science in the progression Of ideas
and the modulations Mr.. Wallace's execution
was never more perfect; 1t was triumph OF
science and OF art. Mr. Wallace concluded the
first part OF his performance with another excel
lent composition OF his own upon the piano

ton was executed on the whole extent Of the
piano with the left hand-no one perceiving the
leas: break o. void, or supposing that he was not
PLAYING with both hands. In the second part We
admired for the fourth time bis introduction to,
and variations upon, the CracovIenne, with an
additional charm, a master richness OF harmony
in the accompaniment of the orchestra, which he
added on this occasion. The variations Of Paga-
mini on the theme Of "non pin mestd," executed
on one string, excited, as they ever must, the
astonshment OF those who had not heard him
before as well as those who had for he displayed
such strength and such an extent Of sounds,
high and low, that it was difficult to believe that
they were elected from single cord.
1t will be very gratifying when in a short time,
as we expect, VIC shall be able to compare With
the admirable talen. OF Mr.. Wallace on the piano
that Of an artist unknown to the New York pub
lic-a young lady from Norway, who has lately
come among US, and whose great talent, as re-
CARDS execution and depth of expression is spoken
of by those " no have had the pleasure Of hearing
her. in the most enthusiastic terms.
Mrs. Sutton sang with great assurance, like
person certain of success and of carrying away
the palm from all her rivals. She chose for her
first piece the air Of Queen Elizabeth OF England
in the Opera of Donizctt, Robert d'Ecareur''-
" L'Amor suo mi te beata." We vii! endeavo-
to express impartialy the opinion Of the majority
OF persons present, who were principally artists
and intelligent amateurs. Mrs. Sutton did rot
consider certainly who the person WAS she repre-
sented, or if she did consider she took her for the
simple mistress OF Robert, who hestates believing
that her lover can be iaithlcss to her. In conse.
quencc of her error, she sang the piece like mere
mistress, and not like the great Queen Of England,
the virago Elizabeth, VINO suffers no rivals, anc

attributed TO her on Monday evening in this
piece. We must say that she made no we'll.

heard her formerly without this fault, which is
considered grave one, as she must well know,

recitatre OF the scene OF Lucia, as well as the
