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 " Hame 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 to*n by the end of
the month, and has announced a series of his entertain-
ments in the City, at Crosby Hall, commencing Dec. I.]
PROJECTED RAlLWAYS.—Thursday's Gazette is of
a very bulky character, in consequence of the number of
advertisements contained in it relative to railways. These
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 rail way business.
DEATH OF A MlSER.—Thursday 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 Mamie, the Treasury solicitor, on the part
of her Majesty Queen Victoria. It seems that Kane,
who was well known in Brentford for his penurious
habits, and bore the name of miser, died some few
months since possessed of considerable wealth. No will
could be found, and he was not known to have a single
relative, and though every endeavour has been used, no
one belonging to him can be discovered. The above no-
tice was issued preparatory to possession being taken in
behalf of the Crown.
Two CROPS OF GRAPES IN ONE SEASON —Mr
Mitchell, gardener, of Kemp Town, Brighton, is now.
gathering a second crop of grapes this year from the
same vine. The first crop was gathered in February,
and the vine pruned on May-day.
