WILSON'S SONGS OF SCOTLAND.
Last night, at the Music Hall, an immense assem-
blage congregated to hear Wilson's " Hour wi'
Burns," and many parties were obliged to take seats
on the orchestra. " Scotia's Minstrel" was in full
force. We never heard him in finer voice, nor did he
ever draw so strongly on the feelings of his audience.
The selection was chiefly from the songs of Burns,
and it was pleasing to witness two of the sons of the
immortal bard listening to the strains of him who is
acknowledged all over the world as the " lyrical poet
of nature." It would be idle now to particularise the
different songs which Wilson gives in his own
inimitable style, but we cannot pass over the opening
song of the evening, 1" There was a lad was born in
Lyle," which at once warmed the hearts of his
audience. "John Anderson, my Jo," was sung with
such touching tenderness that Mr. Wilson was obliged
to give it a second time. " The De'il 's awa wi' the
Exciseman" set the audience in hearty laughter, and
sing it again he was compelled to do. The song of
the night, however, was that splendidly written
effusion, which Burns penned a short time before he
terminated his earthly career—a song which in its
character and its probable effects may be likened to
the most powerful song ever written by Dibdin,
" Does haughty Gaul invasion threat ?" Wilson
gave this song with great effect; indeed, the audience
seemed roused en masse, and the excitement was so
great that feet and hands joined together to have the
song once more. We have often chronicled the
agreeable character of Mr. Wilson's entertainments.
His style of entertainment was introduced by him
seven years since, and the attraction remains undi-
minished. We need add no more.

GRAND OPERA.—THEATIIB ROYAL, DRIIRT•LANE.
—The following noble and distinguished company
honoured the representations last week :—His Highness

HARMONIC HALL, SOUTHWARK•DRIDGR-ROAD.—
Recently several benefits have been taken at the above
favourite place of entertainment in furtherance of the
objects of various local philanthropic associations, in
affording relief to the deserving poor during the winter
months, and it is satisfactory to add that, aided by the
liberality of Mr. R. Preece, the greatest advantages have
followed. Yesterday a new pantdmine was produced,
and by the success of its first representation a long run
may fairly be predicted. Among other novelties to be
produced on the 3d proximo (the benefit night of Mr.
Pearce), are two entirely new national melodies, both
the words and the music of which haves been written by
an old Lieutenant of her Majesty's ship Victory, who
has served under the immortal Nelson.
DEATH OP LIEUTIINANT-GENREAL THOMAS.—
We have to record the demise of Lieutenant-General
Thomas—one of the surviving officers of the first
American war. He expired on the 20th instant, at the
vicarage of Westleigh, near Bideford, aged 88, having
been connected with the army for a period of 71 years.
DEATH or GENERAL VINCENT.—This venerable
and distinguished officer died on the 21st instant, at his
residence in 11-ma.. Ps ti
-, after a short illness, aged 83,
and after a service of nearly 68 years. He entered the
Army, as Ensign, in 1781. In January, 1836, he re-
ceived the Colonelcy of the 69th (Lincolnshire) Foot.
The deceased officer served for several years in the
West Indies, and was at the taking of St. Domingo.
He subsequently took part in the expedition to the
Helder, and also in that to Copenhagen, under Sir Hyde
Parker. His next services were during the American
wax.

Her Royal Highness the Princess Helena was also

Prince Albert enjoyed the sport of shooting this
forenoon. His Royal Highness was attended by Sir

and Colonel Bourerie.

Their Majesties the King and Queen of the Bel-
gians, attended by the Lady in Waiting on the
Queen, the Gentleman in Waiting on the King, his
Excellency Monsieur Yen de Weycr (Belgian Minis-
ter), the Earl of Morton, Lord in Waiting to her
Majesty, and Lord George Lennox, Lord in Waiting

in the Queen's carriages and four,
The royal dinner party this evening included their

Gentleman in Waiting on the King of the Belgians,
his Excellency Monsieur Van de Weyer, and Lord

THE KING AND QUEEN OF THE

BELGIANS.

Their Majesties and suite arrived at the Brick-
layers' Arms station of the South-Eastern Railway at
about half-past four o'clock yesterday afternoon, by
a special train, which performed the distance from
Dover to London in two hours, in the face of a fall of
snow. The Earl of Morton, Lord George Lennox,
and his Excellency the Belgian Minister, awaited
their Majesties, and on landing conducted them to the
railway station, where they were received by Mr.
M'Gregor, the chairman of the South-Eastern Rail-
way; Mr. M. L. Pritchard, the deputy chairman;
the Honourable Mr. Byng, one of the board; and Mr.
Walter, the chief superintendent of the railway.
Their Majesties being anxious to reach Windsor,
their stay in Dover was only for a few minutes.
The royal party crossed from Calais in her Ma-
jesty's steamer Garland, Captain Smithett. The
harbour presented a very gay appearance as she
entered; and on her arriving alongside the pier the
royal salute from the heights and the military recep-
tion added much to the spirit of the landing, which
was witnessed by a large concourse of visitors.
Their Majesties left the Bricklayers' Arms terminus
for Windsor immediately on the train's arrival, but
not without expressing their appreciation of the ra-
pidity and ease with which the royal train had tra-
velled. The engine was driven by Mr. William
lernihough, assistant locomotive superintendent.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YXSTERDAY.
Very little business was done on the Derby, nor,
except in two instances, were the movements of any
importance. It will be seen that in one instance—
Keraun—the betting showed a marked improvement;
and in the other—Besborough—a decline; 4,000 to 100
was laid agst the latter in the early part of the day,
and 1,000 to 30 at a later period, 35 to 1 being, to
the best of our judgment, the " market" price at the
close—two points more than were taken last week.
The Chester Cup took a more copious range than of
late, and elicited a decidedly favourable feeling towards
Keleshe, Jonathan Wild, Cracow, Giselle, and Rufus;
several others were backed at the odds returned, but
not to any ansoant. No one would advance upon 20
to not,

agst twenty-three ; 100 on the field agat thirty (the
fielders in a majority), and even on the field agst
thirty-five, bar Blaze.

BRUSSELS,
to-day terminated its discussion of the budget of
justice. The Sections have terminated the exami-
nation of the project of law relative to the Treaty of
Commerce and Navigation concluded between Bel-
gium and the kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
It appears from a report received by the Govern-
ment from the Belgian Legation at Rio de Janeiro,
that under the regime established by the Imperial
decree of the Ist of October, 1847, Belgian vessels
shall enjoy nautical privileges at Brazil, whether
they come directly from Belgium or from other
countries.
CUXHAVEN, JAN. 20.—There is much ice to-day in
the channel.
AALBORG, JAN. 12.—The Fyord is increasingly
filled with ice ; at Aggersund, it is said that
the ice is now crossed by foot passengers. Yesterday
many wild geese appeared here, which is regarded as
a prognostic of a severe winter.
MASIIFIM, JAN. 16.—The Rhine has begun to
freeze, and is covered with ice both above and below
our city. Last night a brilliant auroea borealis was
observed here.
NuREMItURG JAN. 18.—The prices of cornare
everywhere declining, but the orders from the great
markets on the Rhine are kept back, as speculators
still hope to obtain better prices for their stores. This
fall in our market will also tell upon the markets of
South Bavaria. Wheat was sold at 17 to 18 florins;
barley, 11 florins ; oats, 6 florins.
WURTEMBURG, JANUARY 19.—We are happy
to state that his Majesty,
although not able to accord
an entire remission of pardon to the insurrectionists
in May last, has been g • raciously pleased to grant
pardon to several individuals,the
circum-
stances of whose cases rendered this step admissible.
They were also relieved from the very considerable
costs attending their case.
VIENNA, JAN. 12.—The march of the troops to
Lombardy has been accelerated. The Archduke
Charles Ferdinand has set off for Milan, and will
speedily_ be followed by his brother William.
Sr. YBTERSBURGII, JAN. 13. The suspicions
respecting the arrest of the Frankfort Consul, J. C.
Plitt, are unhappily confirmed. This gentleman, who
has been generally esteemed for his integrity, has
unfortunately made an ill use of his position as
director of several companies, and abused the trust
placed in him by his colleagues. This has come to
light during late transactions in the shares of the
Salamander Fire Insurance Company, of which the
Consul was the chief director, in co- operation with
Generals A. and P., as also Mr. C. It appears that
he embezzled money received for shares from abroad,
, that he sold, by promise, shares which did not exist,
that he transferred shares which did not belong to
him, and that he made private use of the revenue of
the company, in consequence of which there is a
deficit of 600,000 silver roubles. His arrest took
place at the special command of his Majesty the Em-
peror. A meeting of the shareholders is fixed for the
16th, the result of which is expected with great
anxiety. It appears that Mr. W., stockbroker, lately
deceased, was much involved in the matter.
BERLIN, JAN. 21.—T0-day, about one o'clock, the
residence of the Privy Councillor, Count Von Radern,
took fire. Happily, it was got under about eight
o'clock.
ANTWERP, JAN. 19.—From the 10th to the 15th
January there entered into the port of Antwerp two
vessels laden in part with provisions. The importa-
tions made were—wheat, 312,000 kil.; rice, 12,400
kil. • total, 324,400 kil.
The: market this day has presented nothing remark-
able. At a public sale this afternoon, 400 sacks of
Piedmont rice sold for consumption at from 19 to 20
for 50 kil.
BRUSSRLS JAN. 19.—Her Majesty the Queen
arrived here last night from Paris.
The King has received a letter of condolence on the
death of her Imperial Majesty the Archduchess Maria
Louisa, from the Emperor of Austria, King of Hun-.
gary and Bohemia.
The Chamber of Representatives have resumed
their labours. The sitting yesterday was devoted to
the discussion of the budget of justice.
Mimes, JAN. 16.—This forenoon the sitting of
the Council of the State took place. His Majesty the
King presided, and M. Von Strausz, the newly ap-
pointed Councillor of State, was introduced, and con-
firmed.
We regret to state that Prince Von Aettingen-
Wallerstein is again very unwell since yesterday.
The precaution that the Commission for the Liqui-
dations of the National Debt should obtain additional
means by an arrosement appears likely to be carried
into effect very soon.
The receipts up to the 12th January amount to
000,000 fls., therefore nearly the eleventh part of the
whole sum required.
The arrosement already works most favourably
upon the Three-and a-Ilalf per Cent. Bonds, which
during the last eight days have risen two per cent
On the 15th the receipts amounted to above a mil-
lion. At our markets to-day the prices of provisions
fell considerably; mean price of wheat, 11.20 55 ;
barley, 11.12 26 ; oats, f 1.5 4e ; 11,211 bushels were sold
out of 14,021.
VIENNA.—In consequence of the illness of Count
Von Bombelle, under whose charge the remains of
the late Archtlur hess Maria Louisa are to be con-
veyed to Vienna, a delay has been occasioned, and the
body has not yet arrived here. His Imperial High-
ness the Archduke Palatine is now perfectly conva-
lescent, to the great joy of the nation, but he will
not be permitted to leave his room for some time.
His Imperial Highness the Archduke John arrived
here from Steyormark on the 7th instant, and will
remain here for some time.
BERLIN, JAN. 17.—This day, at ten o'clock, the
sitting of the committee of the delegates of the States
met in the Council Chamber of the Police. M. Von
Bodelschwingh, accompanied by the other Ministers
of State, repaired to the Chamber. He informed the
assembly that his Majesty had appointed his Excel-
lency Prince Solins-Hohensolins Lich Marahal of the
Diet, and Colonel IVon Rochon as his deputy, and
that his Majesty had further been pleased to appoint
M. Von Bodelschwingh High Commissioner, and that
as such he was delegated to open this meeting in the
name of his Majesty. He reminded them that the
main object of their assembling was the final reac-
tion of the projected penal code, and especially for
comparing the views and wishes of the whole nation,
as expressed at the different provincial diets, respecting
the former project. The examination of the pro-
ject of this code was most important, especially as it
was intended to remove the anomaly, so long and
justly felt, respecting the inequality of punishment
of one and the same crime in various parts of the
kingdom ; because now the same deed is punished as
a serious transgression in one province, while in another
it remains wholly unpunished. The new code of law
is intended to remove it.—Brussels Papers, Jan. 19.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

MALTA, JAN. 12.—The India mail has just ar•
rived by the Peninsular and Oriental Compante
steamer Indus.

Since my last but little has occurred worthy al
note.

It may not be uninteresting to the navigator, with
reference to the late wreck of the Oriental schooner,
on the coast of Sicily, to remark, that from the trip
made by the Peninsular and Oriental Comysny's
steamer Ariel, from Malta to Alexandria and back,
in 14 out of 16 voyages a strong southerly set- has
been observed, and upon one occasion, though steer.
ing precisely the same course, the set to the north.
ward was as much as ten miles. During the last two
voyages this set has not been discovered, and, as ths
care given to the steering of this ship is proverbial.
her officers being all skilful navigators, three corn•
passes being used, and corrected by amplitudes and
the azimuth, the assertion merits some attention.
Captain Brown, of the English brig Flash, which
arrived here on the 6th instant, reports that on the
preceding day, when between Pantellaria and Gozo,
he fell in with four frigates, one of which bore a coin.
modore's pendant, and on hoisting his colours he
showed Austrian colours. A brig afterwards joined
the division, fired a salute, and having communicat,ed.
steered for Malta Harbour, where she now is.
The only Austrian vessel which arrived here on the
sth was the Pansalinos, from Marseilles, and she'was
probably the bearer of dispatches to the Austrian
Consul here from the Commodore.

Rumour is of course busy as to the destination of
the Flotilla, and under the circunistances, the Admiral
felt justified in sending a boat to examine her. From
what I can learn, she seems not to have been armed,
though pierced to carry five guns, nor has the mystery
been yet satisfactorily cleared up.
Her Majesty's 97th Regiment, reserve battalion,
will embark in the early part of the ensuing week
for the West Indies, in the hired transports Blenheim
and Maria Somes, No. 26 and No. 24. The regiment
has been relieved by Her Majesty's 69th Regiment,
reserve battalion, which has entered on garrison dut7.
The American steam-frigate Princeton arrived m
the Great Harbour on the 7th inst., from Athens;
last from Milo.

Her Majesty's ship Vengeance left port on the Bth
inst. She has on board six months' provisions, and
as much more as she could carry for the fleet, if it
should be in want of any. By the last accounts re-
ceived, the English squadron was in the Gulf ,f
Palma (Majorca), but would, it was thought, pm.
ceed to Cagliari, to which place:the Vengeance is
bound. This port of destination is, however, a mere
matter of supposition, the movements of the ships
being rigorously kept secret from the public.
The foremast of her Majesty's ship Vanguard was
surveyed on the 10th instant by three captains, four
masters, four carpenters, the master attendant, and
master shipwright. After a species of court-martial,
which lasted several hours, the mast has stood the
ordeal, and will not be removed.

The Tartarus steamer, previous to leaving the har-
bour for the Levant, went out for trial of her engines
on Wednesday. Her Captain, Sir Godfrey Webster,
had invited a large party on the occasion, and much
amusement was derived ; the Vanguard's Weippert
was in attendance, and played several airs. :Cho
weather was very fine, and the sea smooth.
Her Majesty's steamer Sidon will leave port on
the 20th instant, for Alexandria, where she will
remain to await the arrival of Lord Harding. from
India.

His Excellency the Governor and Mrs. More
O'Ferral have issued cards of invitation to their first
ball for the 19th instant.

THE 11w:sm.—Our attention has been recalled to
the paragraphs which have appeared in this portion
of our paper respecting Lieutenant Cawley, late of
the 'manna, and we are now satisfied that no ships of
war were assembled at Port Royal in consequence
of any charge against that officer. It appears, how-
ever, that some unpleasant circumstances in relation
to a transaction with a commercial house at Madeira

JAN. 24.—The Meander, 44, Capt.
the Hon. H. Keppel, arrived at Spithead this morning
from the eastward, and saluted the Commander-in-
Chief. She is a very handsome looking frigate, and
has made a most extraordinarily quick passage, hav-
ing left Sheerness yesterday only at soon, and
anchored at this roadstead at nine o'clock this morn-
ing. She went ten to eleven knots during the pas-
sage, although under very adverse circumstances, the
rigging and sails being covered with hoar-frost and
snow. She is fully manned, with a finer crew, as a
body, than any other ship in the navy possesses.
Captain Keppel has been compelled to refuse numbers
of first class seamen, such has been the avidity to sail
with this gallant and popular officer. This, we be-
lieve, is the Meander's first commission. She is an
improvement upon the old 42's and 46's, by Sep-
pings, and clearly works well. She draws 17 feet
aft as she now sits upon the water, with all her stores
and munitions of war aboard. The new screw launch
with which she has been supplied,
is a failure. In the
first place the boat has been built seven tons weight,
instead of one half that weight as the extreme ; the
consequence is, she draws
too much water for
shallow rivers such as she is intended to navigate.
It is Captain Keppel's intention, however, to con. 4

It is considered that teak is too heavy, while fir
would have been more suitable and quite as service-
' able as the boat is coppe red high up. The Raja of
Sarawak 's berth is on the main deck, occupying the
space of two guns, and those of the Lieutenant-
Governor of Labuan are on the same deck. Mrs.
Napier and family also go out in the Meander, and
supernumerary officers for the China squadron.
The Powerful, 84, advanced ship, is ordered to be
brought down from the ordinary, and rigged. It is
expected she will be the ordinary guard instead of the
Illustrious, 72, and kept upon the war establishment
similar to the sea-going ordinary guard-ships at the
other ports.
The Duck and Lively lighters sailed with stores
for Devonport yesterday.
The Confiance steam-tug, Mr. John Jagoe, master
commanding (acting), arrived this morning from
Devonport, with marines belonging to this division,
and seamen gunners for the Excellent, late serving
in her Majesty's ship Albion, 90, Captain Fremantle,
