DE MEYER IN NEW ORLRANs.-We have start
ling accounts of De Meyers first concert in New
Orleans, given on the 18th instant. 1t was a tre-
mendous hit. The saloon, holding 1900 persons,
was full-and 500 more going away that could not
find ROOM One Of the papers speaks thus 1--WE
unaffectedly declare, that he transcends all we had
previously conceived Of excellence attanable on the
piano forte. His touch is really magical, uniting
the utmost strength with the finest delicacy-the
great attributes OF expression His Instrumentation
IN quick passages in his saccatos-his octaves-
dixiemes-seemed to take the auditory by surprise
brilliaacy and precision were its least character r.
istics but in his execution, that vibraory tremu-
lous motion OF the notes, which is so difficult TO
preserve without marring the general harmony of
passages, seemed to come forth, and round of the
whole, in manner that almost inspired the idea
that the music itself was instinct with life All
attempt at criticism, in detail, with our present I'm
pressions, would be vain. No description of ours
could adequately paint the effect he produced, or do
justice to his merit. He has created quite an enthu-
siasm among our amateurs one OF our friends de-
caring that his performance last night was su cent
to make him (our riend) musical fanatic for life /"
De Meyer was to leave New Orleans on the 18th, to
give concert at Mobile on the 10TH He will then
return to New Orleans and give series.
