WILSON'S SCOTTISH ENTERTAINMENTS.—LONDON•
DERRY.—We had the exalted pleasure of being present
at the entertainments given by Mr. Wilson, in the Cor-
poration Hall, on Monday and Tuesday evenings. It
would be useless to indulge in commendation of a vo-
calist whose fame is so widely spread and firmly estab-
lished as that gentleman's, but we may be permitted to
say, that we have seldom heard a voice so well uniting
as his does the qualities of sweetness, compass, and
flexibility. We do not confine our admiration of him to
his physical capabilities. We have heard several, having
the faculty under proper appliances, of emitting the most
dulcet sounds, but, proceeding from a lifeless source,
were in themselves lifeless. It is not so with Mr. Wil-
son. He feels heartily, and brings out the peculiar sen-
timent of the song with simple and natural emphasis.
This was peculiarly observable in his " Flowers of the
Forest." Of the music itself too much cannot be said.
Never were the wailings of a nation poured out in more
affecting strains. Mr. Wilson has a keen perception of
the grotesque and humorous, and hence, in his comic
songs, such as " flame cam our gudeman at e'en," and
" Get up and bar the door," he is eminently successful,
the effect being heightened by good acting, and a patois
not a little redolent of Auld Reekie. Both evenings Mr.
Wilson had a large and fashionable audience, who seemed
highly delighted.—Londonderry Paper. [Mr. Wilson,
after a long tour in Ireland and the southern counties of
Scotland, we understand, returns to town by the end of
the month, and has announced a series of his entertain-

notices amount to nearly 70, and announce the intention
of the different companies to apply next session to
Parliament for Acts to authorise their various under-
takings, which have reference to the establishment of
new lines, or alterations, extensions, &c., of existing
ones, so that the Parliament is already threatened with
a considerable amount of railway business.
DEATH or A MlSER.—Yesterday notice was posted
at the Royal Exchange from the Court of the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, that if the next of kin of Thomas
Kane, late of Old Brentford, in the parish of Ealing,
dead intestate, did not come forward, they would be
condemned by contumacy, and administration granted
to Thomas Maule, the Treasury solicitor, on the part
of her Majesty Queen Victoria. It seems that Kane,
who was well known in Brentford for his penurious
