THE MASTERS HUGHEs.-The first peror- of these extraordinary children took place at the Theatre last evening, before crowe ed and fasl

 ouabe audience; and great as had been the Antici patton of pleasure whicl, we had formed from their numerous testimonials, acquired in ihe old well as the new world, our expectations were more than realized. The oldest boy, only twelve years of age. is brilliant and most surprising performer on the harp. We do not mean that his execution is merely wonderful account of his extreme youth. His touch IS the touch of n master; and the feeling and taste with which he plays, renders his execution as delightful it is surprising. The variations winch he introduced were of his own composition, and were, we have believe, exteulpore perfor- mances; showing him to he in either case, not only an admirable harpisi, but scientific musician. He also executed with admirable skill some charming variations the conceriina.

 The second boy, master John Hughes, is prod- gy on the violin. His age is little more than nine years, and his stature is yet too sma to enable him to handle violin of the ordinary dimensions The instrument upon which he plays is little more

 than childs fiddle, and upon this he executes some of De Beriot's difficult solos. shifting his positions with all the ease of an accomplished violin pa, CT, who has taken whole life time 10 learn his instru melt Nature to have done for these children what no art tuition could for ordinary mortaIs.- They were born musicians.

 We must not omit to mention the remaining ind- sidual of the trio, and although the last and the least also, she nevertheless is equally wonderful with the others. The genius so nuch developed in her older brothers, beams forth , equal certainty in every fraure of this interesting child, and really surprising to See tiny little creature but five years of age, or less, standing her llte harp and strk- ing her chords with precision and corr ectness, which in lhe ordinary of life we should deem creditable in full grown adult Her songs too given with an air which shows that her mind keeps pace with her mechanical advancement.

 The esgag cement with these interesting children closes te-norrow night, and their arrangements are such that it cannot be renewed. We would therefore advise those who desire rich musical treat not to let the present opportunity slip.
