An AMERICAN VIoLlNIsT.We had on We'd
readay evening, the pleasure of hearing young
American Violinist Mr., James Perkins of this
City, who, we doubt not, will hereafter be rock
oned among the best performers on his fAvorite in
strument Mr. Perkins possesses q decided mu.
steal geniua and passion for the violin, cpned
by earnest study and practice upon the best mod.
els. We reoollect frat hearing him in public some
four years since at & benefit given to his MASTER
Rspetti, at PAlmos Opera House whom the ap,
plsuse bestowed on his performance WAS universal
and enthusiastic. Since then he has gained no:
only in age and science, but in frmness of hand
and purity OF intonapon, We are confident that
when he makes his debut before the public he will
be recognized as an artist OF eminent merit and
en- honor to the country which, as yet produces too
few geniufes in art for not to cherish every one
With the most cordial Appreciation
