WILSON'S SCOTTISH ENTER-
TAINMENTS.-TRURO.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

We have had a visit in this quarter from the far-
famed Scottish minstrel, Wilson, who favoured us with
one of his truly unique and delightful entertainments,
which was attended by a full and fashionable audience,
and gave the most unqualified delight. Mr. Wilson's
fame had long preceded him, and one or two of his imi-
tators, taking advantage of his popularity, have at-
tempted to pawn on the lieges what they call entertain-
ments on Scottish songs ; but even in this quarter their
abortive attempts were received with disgust by the few
victims who found themselves within the walls ; all of
which, however, tended to put the people more on the
qui vive for the real " Simon Pure," and,;much as their
expectations were raised, they came far short of the treat
that awaited them. The programme contained songs of
various kinds—some plaintive, others heroic; some what
might be called domestic, and some humorous—in all of
which styles Wilson is equally at home. At one time
his audience were tranced by the thrillingly pathetic
tones in which he poured forth the lament " Nannie's
awa' ;" again were the heroic sentiments of every bosom
awakned by his imaginative declamation of " Scot's
wha hae wi' Wallace bled," and anon were they com-
pelled to hold their sides by the; richly humorius man-
ner in which he gave " The Laird o'Cockpen," " Get up
and bar the door," and " Allister M'Allister ;" and
nothing could be more enchanting than his singing of
" Saw ye my wee-thing ?" " There's nae luck aboot the
house," or " My Boy Tammy." We were puzzled here to
know which to admire most, so we admired all; and diffi-
cult would it have been to have done otherwise, for if an
entertainment can be perfect we should say Wilson's is.
He renders every song intelligible before he sings it by
an interesting, and often very amusing description, in
which he makes his audience perfectly acquainted with
the homely Scotch phrases. He has a magnificent tenor
voice, perfect intonation, and sings like an educated and
intelligent artist. He addresses his audience with the
most gentlemanly ease, and in a very few minutes makes
them feel as much at home with him as if they were sit-
ting at his own table, and he playing the host. His
accompanyist, Mr. Land, is perfectly at home in his
business too—plays and accompanies beautifully, and
looks jolly and happy with the charming songs he is
constantly listening to. The only misfortune was, that
Mr. Wilson chose a Saturday night, which prevented
many from being present that would have been. When
he again comes to see us be must fix on another night,
and he may be assured of an overflowing house; for no
entertainment that we ever had here gave so much
pleasure or caused such a sensation. In London you,
of coarse, know well Wilson's powers, for you have
frequent opportunities of hearing him; but you will not
the less be pleased to hear that he can be appreciated in
the provinces as well as in the metropolis.

It is probable, we hear, that the vacancy on the
Bench, caused by the death of the late lamented Mr.
Justice Williams, may be filled by Mr. Vaughan
Williams.

PRICE or GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 16 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 10d, per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 25 55 ; and the exchange at Paris on
London at short being 25 77i, it follows that gOld
is 0.87 per cent, dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4354
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31.175. 10i d.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 1310*;
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13 101, it follows that gold is 0.06 per cent. dearer
in London than in Hamburgh.
ROBBERY ON THE BLACKWALL RAlLWAY.—Yes-
terday information was received at the Bow-lane, City,
and other police-Ftations, of a foreign gentleman having
been robbed of a green leather pocket-book, containing,
among other property, numerous Dutch bank notes to
the value of nearly 5001., whilst travelling, between eight
and nine o'clock, in a second-class carriage of the London
and 131ackwall Railway.
