WILSON'S SCOTTISH ENTRETAINMENTS.—MORCIV
night, at the Music. Hall, Store-street, Mr. Wilson gave his
favourite entertainment of " Anither Night Burns,"
when he 'sang a- number of the poet's most admired songs
with his accustomed success. The songs of" Mary Xerisen; '
" Poortith ,Cauld," and ",Wilt thou be my Dearie " all
charmingstrains, wedded to exquisite old airs, were delight-
fully given; while the humorous ditties of " Sherramuir"
and` "My spouse Nancy" produced mirth unbounded. Mr.
Wilson announced that next Monday he would give' a new
entertainment, entitled "Jacobite Relics," and sing a number
of the most, popular aongs.of 'l5 and '45. This is a fine field
for Wilinn, and he lint doubtless add another wreath to his
broW by his resuscitationuf seme.of, those delightful and in-
teresting songs which worked se powerfully on the feelings of
the' people during the times alluded to. We hope he will
give us"" Lewid Gordon," "The Blackbird," and some of the
plaintive.'ones, as well as those rousing, ones he knows so
well how to give. He himself is a good judge, however,' of
what will please the public, and the selection *ill' no doubt
be an excellent one. We see that Mr. Wilson refiumes his
morning entertainments in the Hanover-square Rooms to-
day, When of course he will be greeted by a brilliant
assemblage of fashionables..
AGED PILGRIMS' .SOCIETY.—The thirty-seventh
anniversary of this Institution (established in 1807 for the
purpose of ahrding relief to destitute and aged Christians, of
both 'sexes and all denominations) was • celebrated at the
London Tavern, 'Bishopsgate-street, on Monday ; Thomas
Thompson, 'Esq., in the chair. The report stated that tht
subscriptions for'the past year amounted to 1,5761., of whic
I,OOOL were from annual subscribers, and that 300 persons
were at present receiving pensions from the Society. ' Several
eloquent appeals were.made in the course of the evening on
behalf of the charity, and a collection was made.in aid of its
funds, after which the meeting separated. •
4TELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—OH Friday afternoon,
as one'of the labourers in the employment of Messrs.
Thomson and Son, contractors at White Inch, was. en-
deavouring to unhook two of the waggons—the first one
having suddenly 'topped, the second one came up with
great violence, and jammed the poor fellow betwixt
them, whereby he was instantly crushed to death. We
understand that thti unfortunate man's name was Rodger
Bradly, and that he has .left a—widow and two children
to lament his loss. Immediately on the accident
occurringoll hands-dropped wctrk, and. the majority of
thein showed their deep feeling for their unfortunate
neighbour by accompanying his corpse home to Partick.
