WILSON'S SCOTTISH ENTER-
TAINMENTS.
last night Mr. Wilson gave his entertainment, founded
c n. the history of the ill-fated Mary, Queen of Scots, in
rich he has introduced some of the finest old melodies
ever listened to. The entertainment was originally
in t two parts, and occupied a whole evening, but is now
c• )1, idensed into one, there being nothing left in it but
r. ti I musical gems, the setting of which is as in'eresting
as the old airs themselves. It contains eight songs, all
qt c" ite different from each other. The first, " The death-
ta 1 lament of King James," is sung to a beautiful old
in e lody, and records the death of James V. and the
bi K th of Mary ; the second, " The Queen's marriage," is
or ,t of those merry ditties that set the heels agoing, and
" 'he Queen's welcome" is equally stirring. The
hum tourously mock-serious way in which Mr. Wilson
gas e " The first blast of the trumpet," called forth a
11( arty enco-c, and was a fine contrast to the exqui-
si le old chaunt of " The veteran's v> elcome," which
is founded on a very striking incident. Mr.
V filson's chef d'ceuvre in the entertainment, however, was
ithout doubt " The Last Lay of Chatelard," the beau-
ti !al strain of which was given by him with great ele-
gy ewe, intense feeling, and the most delightful purity of
to Re!. The effect of the delivery of this song upon the
au lience was very marked. The second part of the
entertainment consisted of a selection of favourite Scotch
sot. tgt, the most striking of which was " Over the Water
to C. iarlie," with the original air, which Mr. Wilson
notes 1 down from the whistling of a north-country baillie.
It i,t a great improvement on the air as it is usually
sue g.. Next Monday Mr. Wilson gives his farewell
ent eirtainment for the season, when we shall lose the treat
of (listening to his strains till " gloomy winter come
Dv tin." We cannot but rrgret that his F.?ason is so near
at. ingaination, for his entertainments never tire. It is no
sm all tribute to his talent, that all his imitators have
drf geed off by degrees, and left him " alone in his glory,"
wt•• lit, he remains as fresh and attractive as ever.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.
A. meeting of very slender pretensions commenced
yestg rdly with the July stakes and a Handicap (the
mat eh between Panther and Hartshorn standing in
the .list for the second day), and a company sadly
deficient in number, and scarcely less so in rank, many
of the leading members being detepues in town upon
railway committees. Apart from the racing, the only
not iceable event was the introduction of a telegraph on
the. Round Course, for the purpose of exhibiting the
nu} chers of the starting horses, and of thereby pre-
venting the blunders and " picking up" that, for want
of tNis information, have so repeatedly occurred in the
bettLig rings on Newmarket-heath ; the improvement
is • somewhat late of adoption, but " better late than
nester;" and as it appeared to answer the purpose eon-
tei aplated we shall no doubt see it on the flat at the
Fi,:st October Meeting.
Tlte meeting which, if short in quantity, had the re-
comtlendation of very favourable weather, conibaenced

Garcaa filly now lying up with her horses. Half-way
up the cords she headed the Smuggler, and maintaining

ACCIDENT AT ROTHERRITHE IRON-WORKS.—On
Monday a frightful accident occurred at the King and Queen Iron-
works, Rotherhithe, to a man named David Darling, aged thirty.
one years. Darling and several other men were employed in
rolling bridge bars for suspension bridges. One of these bars,
about eleven feet long and eleven inches wide, which had been
heated to a welding heat, was being passed through the last roller,
when, in consequence of one of the caps having, unknown to the
man, become broken, the hot bar swayed round as it was coming
through the roller, and, before Darling could get away, struck him
a violent blow on the left thigh, which felled him to the ground.
On being taken up, a surgeon was sent for, who pronounced that
he had sustained a compound fracture of the thigh, besides being
burnt on several parts of the body by the hot iron. He was con-
♦eyed to Guy's Hospital, where Mr. Cooper deemed it necessary to
amputate the limb.
It is stated that the Welsh colliers who recently
replaced some of the malcontents who turned out in the adjacent
coal districts of this county, have not given satisfacti,:n, and are
returning home.—Liverpool Paper.
