who is an excellent judge OF music both as respects

BURKE. THE v.oLINIsr-This young artist. lately re-
turned from Europe where he has been studying some
time with the celebrated De Bero promises TO be an
encouraging exception to the mediocre level 10 which 100
often precocous genuses descend in their aiurer yeas
His performances show not only accurate and iacie eX-
ecution but also remarkable force and delcacy OF eX-
preston If he does equal the great masters OF the
violin who have amongst us, in richness and purify
Of tone and those great effects which public performers
study he yet shows degree OF skill which few OF his
age have attained Ills hMmonscd passages arc very
fine and effective and his rapid and easy transition into
the most delicate and airy harmonic notes quite delight
ed U.S. He shows long and faithful study OF this great
and difficult instrument which we trust will be repaid by
a well.merited popularity in the land OF his choice
His performance OF De Bcriot's Tremao on theme
OF Beethoven's is full OF power. We hope that in mis-
public performances ne will not conine himself TO his
own compositions but maintain the true elevation and
usefulness of his profession By faiasng the minds
of his audiences to the themes Of the masters
