distinguished artists, Of whom We have previously
spoken, gave, last evening" soi,ee musicale, which was
and Afforded them another nifty ciating
the wonderful talent possessed by these artists. We
at that party, and must confess that
have never been sstonshed and pleased as were
last night. Miss Adele Hohnstock, q mignens young
performed several pieces of Erards magnificent
pianos among which was ,emoio by Scmidt, one Of
the most difficult written and gave to
1t that finish OF doige and execution that briancy,
which enchanted all her hearers, for it is the seal
Of high and refined talent. She is, to our
taste most excellent rival Prudent and Thalberg
whose school she undoubtedly belongs As for her
brother Mr. Charles Hohnstock, he achieved wonders
with his instrument. We consider him as one Of the
most eminent stars' that crossed the Atlantic
and landed hosptsble shore. To the delicacy
of execution Of Artot and vieuxtemps, Mr.. ad Is
the power Of Ole Bull and Sivori and the style in
| which he performed Souvenir from Haydn,n was
really astonishing, and extremely remarkable. This
piece which, to our taste, as well as to that OF compe
tent judges, is of the most diout composed
rendered in manner which drew forth unbou nded
applause, surprise, and admiration. The sorce ended
with that duetto from the "Somnambula" SO cele-
brated among us, which also greatly appreciated
