AK AMERICAN KNIGHT'S ENTER-
TAINMENT.
The olio offered by the Knight Cornbi
nation at *row 'Hall drew a full bongo
and bronght out a generous applause.
Mr. Ninon? (A. 3., of N. V.,) beim a first
rate reputation for his recitations : his
"evenings" .combine dramatic sketches
with a musical melaiie whose eseel!onec
lee not lees in the elocution than in the
refined and claaiio character of the Wee-
Joni. To try conclusions in the way of
criticism with that part of theso enter
taimnents-made up of music, implies, or
should imply, some knowledge of an art
se 'marvelous in expression, so matchless
in effe-t, 'as to deny all trifling and pre-
tones, and. compel-Abe closest intimacy
and keenest sensibility to appreciate its
chiefeet merits or determine its most fatal
faults. There is in the musio of the hu
man voice a flexibility and power to inter-
prat the great masters of unspoken lan
guage, that transcend all of orti at de
scription; , Orrly the rare idealists -whose
thoughts seem hung like the Oriental
mision of ?ilonAuseu's coffin;--mid-way
between the heavens and the earth—are
eqtial to such creations, as, impressing the
occult senses of the air, breathe upon the
waves of sound the responSive echoes of
the soul. To pronounce upon such a sub-
ject knowledge is needed, and that knowl
edge WO do not posies& There were bal-
lids and operatic selections—all of the
highest order—the • former rendered •as
encores by MiS4SeB DOUGLASS and Mama
son to the pronounced satisfaction of the
audience. Of Signor MONTEtknIFFO some
thing more might be said if space allowed;
it ,w;is plain to the wayfaring man that
hie excellent tenor had been trained in the
best of schools; the discretion and reserve
he brought to bear upon his part (as in
music, so in all things else) was , evidence'
of the highest culture.
Of Mr. Kmotres-lighter selections we
are disposed4o speak with praise nnquali
fled. As a raeonteur (the term best fitted
describe the peculiar talent he posses
ses), he is intelligent, pleasing—chaste.
In the immortal phrase of the late MITE
-31 CS Want), in that kind ofz ‘ business, Mr
Bilowr is not prone "to slop over." 01
his Shakespearean renditions there is less
to be Paid. His WOLSEX's soliloquy and

Mr. IFstanr appeals to be measurably

Nimbete in the whole range of the

more grandly than in the two- parts Mr.
