MR. WILSOS'ts CONCERTS. ".jp.
This gentleman, who has acquired so much 0,k,,
earned fame from his illustrations of Scottish rninstirelZei,
repeated yesternight, for the last time, at the 111114;,
Hall, in Store-street, Bedford-square, before a fashi°l4
auditory, his illustrations of English minstrelsy. sair
The programme of the entertainment was preq
the same as Monday last, and as we noticed that
excellent entertainment last week, we shall say
.rto
at present than that yesterday Mr. Wilson was in
'ent voice, and sang with a great deal of spirit. Is.
tion to a delightfully melodious voice, a fine ear, anti s
conception, Mr. Wilson possesses a distinct enuncif
which makes the entertainment so much the
delightful.
In the sublimely beautiful ballad of " The Old
Gentleman" he was deservedly encored, and
this highly intellectual entertainment 'the al
quently expressed their approbation in a m
be mistaken.
