BY the kind permission OF the music COM
mittee Of the grand National Inauguration
Ball, we had the pleasure Of being pres
cnt yesterday at rehearsal Of the Berlin
Germania Band, engaged to appear on the
evening OF the 9th OF March. We are fa-
miliar with the best Of European music,
with bands and orchestras Of all sizes and
every variety Of professional excellence, but
we unhesitatingly give il as our opinion,
that the Berlin Germania Band OF twenty
four instruments is unsurpassed by any band
Of the same SIZE, either in this country or in
Europe. We never heard any band play
to so much advantage before. The orches-
ira has been enlarged, and the magnificent
proportions Of the great Ball Room gave
perfect effect to the sound. A number Of la
dies and gentlemen, connoiseurs and anna
teurs, were present, and the opinion was
unanimous, that the performances were
equal to the best European efforts of bands
of the same number Indeed, we do not
hesitate to pronounce the toufe ensemble SUI
perior in many respects to either Musard's
or Julian's efforts.
The style Of the Berlin Germania Band,
lis Of the best French school, in point Of
decision and applomb, has all the rythm and
soiidity Of time for which the German schoo
is distinguished, and abounds in the delicacy
OF touch and volume which endears us to the
Italian school We listened with critica
ear for the deficiencies that are common t.
the best bands, but we could detect none
though the performers had just arrived from
long travel by rail-road--a no small dis
turber Of the human nerves. The severa
instruments are all obligato players al
masters--as they must be, if they would d.
Justice to Beethoven, and that they ar,
capable of rendering this master we cal
bear testimony. There is life about thi
band that makes the heart beat quick an,
sends the blood coursing through the veins
Its music is not of the mechanical order, Blu
it is the emanation of instruments in th
hands Of genius. The notes breathe an,
/ burn with feeling, with the impulses of th'
heart. German bands are never distn
guished for much beyond rendering the set
phrase of music, with the mechanical val
garity Of a clock pendulum, but Herr Len
schow's band rises far above and beyon'
this common level. It deals with tn
thoughts Of the classical masters, and, mas
tiers and authors themselves, they give lif
and soul to the ideas OF the immortal com
| posers.

Some correspondent Of the Union pre-

viii be a ''bitter, yindictive and bigoted

doubt, that this correspondents wish is
father to his thought, but if he had studied
the Taylor correspondence, with care, we
think he would not have risked so bold a
prophecy. Why, the fulhlment Of such a
prophecy is an impropriety-unless Gen,
Taylor should change his very nature.
