SCOTTISH SONG.

Oa Monday evening- Mr. Milne, the Scottish vocalist,
gave his first entertainment for the season in Crosby
Hall, which was attended by a highly respectable audi-
ence. Since his last appearance in London Mr. Mike
has been giving concerts in the leading towns of Scotland
and England with much success; anti a very marked
improvement is perceptible in his manner as well as in
his singing. This gentleman possesses a voice of fine
tenor quality, and renders the songs of his country with
much character and feeling. No one who has recently
appeared as an expositor of Scottish song here has shown
equal capabilities, and we trust that ere long the
merits of Mr. Milne as a vocalist will be duly and fully
appreciated. All the songs in his yesterday's programme
were well sung. " John Anderson my Joe," " Why
left I my Home?" " The Land 0' the Leal," and "Ilka
blade o' grass keeps its &in drag dew," having been
given with a simplicity that touched the hearts and
drew tears from the eyt s of "Duncan
many present.
Gray," " John Grumlie," and others of the humorous
cast, were also rendered with considerable point and
character, and the whole entertainment
manner to gratify alike the vocalist and want off in a
the audience.

ROBBERY or Semons.—information has been given
of two sailors having been robbed at the east end of London,
in the course of the week, of sums of money amounting to-
gether to about 50/. One of them, named William Thur-
ston, was robbed in the Mile-end-road of a pirs,, containing
301. ; and the other, Henry l3eckett, was robbed of 15/. in
bank notes, and three s overeigns, by two men, one of whom
is described as about forty-one years of age, end five feet six
inches high, and dressed in a blue jacket and trowsers, and
the other dressed in black.
INVOLUNTARY CANDOUR.—Towards the unhappy
Close of Lord Dudley's life he had so confirmed a habit of
talking aloud to himself, that, no matter in whose company,
he broke forth in soliloquy. He had a great dislike to be
asked to give any one a lift in his carriage. An ingenious
tormentor of Brookes' begged him to give a cast to a home-
ward-bound unconscious victim. It could not be refused.
The
wenb unhappytal pair set out in their chariot, and arrived
sinear Mount-street, when Dudley muttered audibly,
bore! It would be civil to say something. Per-
iyt
haps I had better ask him to dinner. I'll think about it."
Ilia con3panior, a person of infinite fancy, and to whom Lord
Dudley afterwards took a great liking, re-muttered, after a
due pause, " What a bore! Suppose he should ask me to
dinner. What should Ido ? think about it."
SCARBOROUGH.—BOAT PICKED UP.—A boat, with
the name Sovereign, of Ramsgate, painted inside, was
picked up at sea by a trading vessel, a short distance from
this port, and brought into the harbour on Monday last,—
Leeds Mercury.
