There are many Of our citizens, who well 7
collect the profound sensation which was produ
ed by the frs, visit Of OLE BULL 10 this plat

Of the great masters of the art had dared or oh :.
en- to try the experiment of a Concert, in
American country village, on the strength 9th il
own reputation alone But, even then, VIII ;
musical science and skill were much less app.
ciated here than they now are, his establish
reputation, which he still retains, of being
greatest volinis of the world and of the age; :
cured him fall house and never, perhap
were the high wrought expectations Of an aud

was musical epoch in our history. The witt
ing strains of the great enchanier fell like ma.4
upon the ears of the audience, and Awakened
them, new love of the beautiful and the diviI
In art, and, from that day. the a.te for lis hghar
and nobler achievements has gradually but SURE b.
progressed amongst us. so that now, the most .
complished artistic is sure to find earnest listenea
who, to a reasonable extent, can appreciate d
performances.
After so many years absence, OLE BUIA
comes again, TO revisit US, and again to charm
with his sublime inspirations and brilliant execA
ton. The years that have passed have fouel
him, not idle, but progressive, and he comes ag3
with his added skill 10 satisfy the cravings of Il BIT
appetite, which he planted, and which 9th, B,
have fostered and cultivated amongst US. Ie.
comes, in tine fu6lment of noble purpose, B,

pose.
But he comes not alone. Kindred spirits 4

performed for the first time in public.
In addition TO these. the wonderful little .A6k
lima Patti, whose singing has enraplured and
tonished the people, wherever she has been heal
will take part in the performances. She is !.
youthful prodigy, as remarkable for her tas
skill, and power, in vocalization, as CAM /.
Urso is 10 her performance on the violin, and ],
still younger than she is. The critics speak 81
high terms of her singing of Jenny Llnd's Ec I,
Song, which, it will be seen, is on the programme 4,
for this evening
The musical critic of the Boston .4duertistk
speaking of Ole Bulls performance of the Fa
tasia .appassionata, in that city, says sit W |,
played divinely, and breaihed the most imp I
stoned feelings-now tender, anon stormy,
pulsive, and resisiess. Each ar was get
perfect and complete in itself, and the tones wc
derfully sweeler Than most human voices.''
This is Ole Bulls last concert here The pt
pose accomplished for which he now travels, d,
will settle down quietly in the West, and devos
himself to the culture of the soil, and the ov,
sight and Improvement Of the colony of his con
trymen, which he has gathered around him TS
opportunity 10 hear him, now presented, whes
once past, can never be recalled. We have hi
but little call in the muecal line, for some tirb
past, and can well afford to give the great Norsi
man full house. S.
