Gentlemen: I have great pleasure in certifying that I have tried your (irand, Square and Upright Pianos, and find.them equal,if not superior, to any in this oountry. Among the great qualities which distinguish them, is the evenness of tone, the easy and agreeable touch and volume of tone. Wishing you all the success which you so highly de serve, i am, sirs, x ours, very iruiy. B. TB UJLLiti. BERG. Translation from the French. After having played on the Piano of Messrs. Knabe Sc Co., It is Impossible not to bear testimony to their qualities, which have acquired for them the eminent reputation which they enjoy. The Pianos of their manufacture, on which I have played, are exceedingly remarkable for their qualities of tone. The Bass is powerful, without harshness, and the upper notes sweet, clear and harmoniously mellow, (chrystalin,) and I do not hesitate to express in regard to these instruments my entire satisfaction, and to declare that they are equal, if not superior, to the best manufactured in Europe or this country by the most celebrated makers. L. M. (iOTTbCHALK. Messrs. W. Knabe & Co. Gentlemen : I cannot but congratulate you upon the immense progress and improvements which you continually make on your Pianos, which, in my opinion, rank among the very best in the country. M. BTRAKOSCH. Messrs. Wx, Knabe & Co. Gentlemen : Having re-oently had opportunities of testing both your new scale (irand and bquare Pianos, it gives me great pleasure to state that I have found them to combine all the qualities to make a Piauo as perfect as possible, and unsurpassed by any that I have seen either in this country or Europe. For great power and roundness ot tone, combined with that peculiar sweet and singing quality, so often found wanting in Pianos, they are really unsurpassable, and in touch everything that can be desired by the most brilliant player, wishing you every success, I remain, Yours truly, C.ANSCHUTZ. Messrs. Wm. Knabe & Co. Gentlemen: Havinghad lately an opportunity to try and test your new scale (irand as well as Square Pianos, I cannot refrain, besides reiterating all I bad occasion to say at a former period, from congratulating you on the important improvements you nave introduced in the manufacture of Pianos. Your instruments combine all the qualities which are required to make a Piano as perfect as possible, and fully deserve the great popularity they have gained all over the oountry. Yours truly, L. M. OOTTSCHALK. Messrs. Wi(. Keabi & Co. Gentlemen : I was delighted on hearing the clear and full tone ol your really i'irtt Clan Pianoi, and I congratulate you on the progress you have made in this branch of art. H. VIEUXTEMPS. Messrs. Wm. Knabe ft Co. Gentlemen: Our Opera Troupe are at present using four of your justly celebrated Pianos, and aa the exponent of the views and opinions ef the various artists, permit me to say : I consider them as unsurpassed in oi'lftancy and excellence, and pre-eminent, without a rival in this country or in Europe. Their superior quality of tone, combining great depth and powerful volume, with a rich and peculiarly clear and even treble, together with magic elasticity of touch and action, render them superior to the other instruments, which rarely if ever combine those most essential requisites. Profoundly impressed with the many valuable qualities of these Pianos, I most cheerfully endorse the high and meritorious encomiums every when pronounced upon them. E. MUZIO, Musical Director of the Italian Opera. Messes. Wu. Knabe ft Co. Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to testify to the real excellence of your pianos. So many of my brother-artists have given you the highest encomiums, that nothing remains for me but to indorse them. As tar as my own experience is concerned regarding your instruments, I can only say that they satisfied me in every way, and answered all my demands when I used them at the seriea of Pianoforte Soiries I recently gave in Baltimore. With best regards, I remain Yours truly, CARL W0LF80HN. Mew York, Deo. 12 th, 1804. Wu. Knabe ft Co.

Yours respeetfully, GEO. W. MORGAN, Organist of Grace Church. New York, Deo. 15th, 1804. Wu. Knabe ft Co.

Or the many who manufacture piano fortes, there are few who strive more thoroughly to improve their instrument than yourself. In view of this, and taking into consideration the eminent sucoeaa which has attended your efforts, I can only say I knew of none who stand above you who can claim the merit of having done more to advance the ar. by producing a perfect instrument, or who have worked more enthusiastically in iU interest.

I see that the Statesman has recentlv been seized with a violent desire to attend some old fashioned singing school, where devotion. al songs were fashionable. I would suggest that a school of that kind be established for the exclusive use of the Democracy, where minor tunes only shall be sung.and devotional and consolatory works be occasionally read. That fine old tune, "Windham," to the words, "Broad Is the road that leads to Death," would be very appropriate for the whole party, and China to the words, "Why do we mourn departed friends," would suit the mourning Valliindlghamers. Barry Burns and Val. might perhaps be Induced to unite their voices on the bate and be productive of great good.
