WILSON'S SCOTTISH ENTER-

TAINMENTS.
Last night Mr. Wilson gave his entertainment, founded
on the history of the ill-fated Mary, Queen of Scots, in
which he has introduced some of the finest old melodies
we ever listened to. The entertainment was originally
in two parts, and occupied a whole evening, but is now
condensed into one, there being nothing left in it but
real musical gems, the setting of which is as interesting
as the old airs themselves. It contains eight songs, all
quite different from each other. The first, " The death-
bed lament of King James," is sung to a beautiful old
melody, and records the death of James V. and the
birth of Mary ; the second, " The Queen's marriage," is
one of those merry ditties that set the heels agoing, and
" The Queen's welcome " is equally stirring. The
humourously mock-serious way in which Mr. Wilson
gave " The first blast of the trumpet," called forth a
hearty encore, and was a fine contrast to the exqui-
site old chaunt of " The veteran's v elcome," which
is founded on a very striking incident. Mr.
Wilson's chef d'awore in the entertainment, however. was
without doubt " The Last Lay of Chatelard," the beau-
tiful strain of which was given by him with l,reat ele-
gance, intense feeling, and the most delightful purity of
tone. The effect of the delivery of, this song upon the
audience was very. marked. The second part of the
entertainment consisted of a selection of favourite Scotch
songs, the most striking of which was " Over the Water
to Charlie," with the original air, which Mr. Wilson
noted down from the whistling of a north-country baillie.
It is a great improvement on the air as it is usually
sung. Next Monday Mr. Wil.on g.ves his farewell
entertainment for the season, when we shall lose the treat
of listening to his strains till " gloomy winter come
again." We cannot but regret that his season is so near
a termination, for his entertainments never tire. It is no
small tribute to his talent, that all his imitators have
dropped off by degrees, and left, him " alone in his glory,"
while he remains as fresh and attractive as ever.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.
A meeting of very slender pretensions commenced
yesterday with the July Stakes and a Handicap (the
match 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 datenues in town upon
railway committees. Apart from the racing, the only
noticeable event was the introduction of a telegraph on
the Round Course, for the purpose of exhibiting the
numbers of the starting horses, and of thereby pre-
venting the blunders and " picking up" that, fur want
of this information, have so repeatedly occurred in the
betting rings on Newmarket-heath ; the improvement
is somewhat late of adoption, but " better late than
never;" and as it appeared to answer the purpose con-
templated we shall no doubt see it on the flat at the
First October Meeting.
The meeting which, if short in quantity, had the re-
commendation of very favourable weather, commenced
at three o'clock with

ACCIDENT AT ROTHERIIITHE 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 oue 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 cent 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-
veyed to Guy's Hospital, where Mr. Cooper deemed it necessary to
amputate the limb.
It is statud 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 eatisfactiQn, and are
returning home..—Liverrvel Parer.
