EVENINGS OF IRISH MINsTRELsY.-Mr. McMi-
chael's musical entertainment of last evening, af-
forded the most universal delight to the audience.
In praise Of the subject little need be said hear
ing Of its expounder is better adapted to give him
that high place as an artist, which he merits, than
the most elaborate eulogy. We do not use the
term artist in its technical sense; the powerful in
fluence which Mr.. McMichae exercises over his au-
dlence is unattainable by mere art-by any system
of rules, however, opposite or universal; it has its
origin in deep pathos-in the sympathetic impulses
of the heart. Mr.. McMichael, and his subject,
Irish Minstrelsy, constitute very happy comblna-
tion his manner and address-his versatility of
feeling, true type Of the best specimens Of his
countrymen-and faithful abridgement Of all
that is comic, humorous, harious-smple, yet
sublime, III the national character. His voice, TOO,
is full of melody; 10 the use made of it, it is
best shown by the enthusiastic applause which fol-
lowed each song. We confidently expect to hear
1t ere long shed soul Of music over multtudes,
and that New York will extend patronage 70
Irish Mnstrelsy commensurate with the deserts of
the one, and the good taste Of the other. Tha:
good taste cannot'be represented by hundreds-we
must have thousands to hear Mr.. McNIichael.
