TRIUMPH OF AN AMERICAN SINGER.
The London Daily Telegraph Of Nov 26 says,
previous day: "The vocalist was Mr. william
Castle, q young American tenor, who has already
made name in hiB own country. Haydn's In
Native WORTH and Mende1ssohn's Garland
we're sung by him so as to win the ungrudging
favor OF the audience. h1r. Castle possesses
good voice, Of ample power and compass; his
7aezzo uoce is charming, and he sings with the
taste and feeling OF an artist. So endowed, q
favorable debut was matter OF course."

Deum in minor, with Renediotus in E, and q

Wey-Dattsta organ-music, and which, to distinguish

modern loveba1lal will characterize religious
sentimenta1is, for want OF better epithet Senti-
