MR. WILSON'S FAREWELL NIGHT
On Monday evening the Music Hall, Store-street, was
crowded au ciel, and many persons anxious fur admis-
sion were unable to procure it, a convincing proof that
Mr. Wilson's attraction remains undiminished. The
programme contained many of the Scotch songs which
he has rendered popular, and some foreign pieces,
among which we had a beautiful German ballad, "In
yonder happy cottage," and the celebrated scena from
Fret Diacolo, the Irish ballad, sung charmingly,
" Savourneen Deelish," and " The trim-built wherry,"
which last drew forth a hearty encore. The humorous
Scotch songs were given in Wilson's own inimitable
style, and caused great merriment. He was in excel-
lent voice and spirits, and never sang better. He must
have sung more than twenty songs, rather a herculean
task, but his voice was at the end as fresh
and firm as it was at the beginning. After
the programme had been gone through, Mr. Wilson
took farewell of his audience in the following words:—
" This being the last night of my season, the pleasing
task devolves upon me of expressing to you the gratifica-
tion I feel that my nights among the songs of Scotland
still seem to afford entertainment to a large portion of
her Majesty's subjects. This evening I finish my fourth
season in this room, and not one season has been be-
hind another in success. It is not a little pleasing to me
to see here among my audience smiling faces, for I have
seen them here so frequently since I first began my en-
tertainments, that I might almost by this time call them
familiar faces. I wander about a great deal, and am
whirled from place to place on many a rail, but, during
my wanderings, with what pleasure do I look forward to
my Monday evenings in this Hall, for I feel as if I were
coining among friends, and almost as if I were at my
ain fireside. I am now gciug out on a pretty long
ramble into Wales, and parts of England and Scotland
that I have not before visited, and lam sure I shall
look forward with greater pleasure than ever to my
opening in this room again, which I hope may be early
in 1846. The mine of Scottish song is inexhaustible,
and, the more I look into it, the more do I see of inte-
rest to bring forward. Till I have the honour of appear-
ing again before you, and with my heartiest thanks for
all your kindness and indulgence, I most respectfully
bid you farewell."

EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY.—The Rev. Mr. Potti-
cary, of Blackheath, was robbed in a singular manner on Friday
last. The Rev. Gentleman, who is on a visit at Brighton, had
been into the country, and on his return, about eleven o'clock at
night, was walking from Sewell's stables, in Church street, to the
Grand Parade. Between Marlborough.place and the Grand Pa-
rade, and northward of the entrance to the Pavilion, is one of the
" enclosures," a lawn surrounded by a gravel walk, a border of
flowers, shrubs, and trees, and a fence of irun palisades. While
walking on the footway outside these palisades the Rev. Gentleman
was suddenly seized by two arms, which were passed through the
palisades, and which drew him backwards, so as completely to
pinion him ; and, while in this position, he found his macintosh
raised, and is third hand passed into his pocket, whence his purse,
containing three sovereigns and some silver, was taken. The
whole operation was over in less time than we have been describing
it ; and the Rev. Gentleman gave an alarm to the sentinel at the
Palace gate, who crossed the road, and assisted him in searching
for the thieves. No trace, however, could be found of any one;
and it is a remarkable fact that the Rev. Gentleman heard no voice
during the whole affair. Some London thieves have the credit of
planning and executing this extraordinary and impudent robbery.
DISSOLUTION OF THE CITY OF LONDON SCHOOL OF
INDUSTRY.—Yesterday a meeting of the governors and subscribers
of this school, which was founded in 1816, for educating, clothing,
maintaining, and instructing, in various useful trades, legitimate
children of the indigent poor, was held in the board-room of the
institution, Mitre street, Aldgate, to consider the circumstances. of
the charity, and the propriety of continuing or discontinuing
it. it. James Sehooling, Esq., treasurer, was called to
and was supported by Doctor Alexander M'Caul, rectort of Et.,
James's, Duke-place, the Reverend J. V. Povah, A.M.,
minor canon of St. Paul's, and other old supporters of the school,
Thomas Saunders, Esq., City Comptard been ollerfounded by the
,
stated the position of
the school, which he
late Rev. R. Povah, LL.D. said
dtterhly their finances were sl re-
duced that they were compelled to give up the boys' school, and
now, in consequence of a further decrease in the subscriptions and
donations, they that they could not continue the girls' school.
Hoen inseob.
explained
that the receipts for the last two years were only
395/. 6s, Pd., and that they were indebted 231. to the treasurer. In
conclusion, lie said that they had only the painful alternative to die-
solve the girls' school. After some discussion it was resolved to
call another meeting for the purpose of appointing a committee to
wind up the affairs of the charity, and to collect funds for the pay.
ment of its liabilities. After which, and a vote of thanks to the
chairman, the meeting broke up.

SCAFFOLD ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon Wil-
liam Graham, a labourer, living in Princes.street, Chelsea, whilst
whitewashing the back premises of a house in Ebury-street, Pim.
lico, was suddenly seized with a fit of epilepsy, and fell off the scaf-
fold (a height of at least thirty feet) into the back area. Medical
assistance being promply procured, it was ascertained that the nn.
fortunate man had severely injured his spine, in addition to which
he has sustained several serious internal injuries. Only a short
time since a similar misfortune happened to Graham, when he
fractured his leg.
