FROM THE "_London News of the World_." "These magnificent pianos, manufactured by Messrs. STEINWAY & SONS, of New York, are, without doubt, the musical gems of the Exhibition of 1862. They possess a tone that is the most liquid and bell-like we have ever heard, and combine the qualities of brilliancy and great power, without the slightest approach to harshness," &c. Mr. HOCHE, one of the most competent musical critics of France, writes to the "_Presse Musicale_," Paris: "The firm of STEINWAY & SONS exhibits two pianos, both of which have attracted the special attention of the jurors. The square piano fully possesses the tone of a grand--it sounds really marvelously; the ample sound, the extension, the even tone, the sweetness, the power, are combined in these pianos as in no piano I have ever seen. The grand piano unites in itself all the qualities which you can demand of a concert piano; in fact, I do not hesitate to say that this piano is far better than all the English pianos which I have seen at the Exhibition," &c. The "_Paris Constitutional_" says: "In the piano manufacture the palm don't belong to the European industry this year, but to an American house, almost unknown until now, Messrs. STEINWAY & SONS, of New York, who have carried off the first prize for piano-fortes," &c. ~WAREROOMS~, NOS. 82 & 84 WALKER ST., near Broadway, New York. * * * * * JOHN F.
