Mn. WILSON'S ILLUSTRATIONS OF SCOTTISH MU-
site AND SONG. —The illustrations of Mr. Wilson have justly
acquired that notice which their attractions demand, and the
interest felt in them was amply testified by the very respect-
able and crowded audierve which attended on Monday at the
Alu3ic flail i❑ S:ore-street, on the occasion of his tenth en-
tertainment. Mr. Wilson's style, as we have in a former occa-
sion stated, is particularly felicitous, whether it be in narrat-
ing some tale of pathetic interest the subject of the song, or in
sinning with expr:ssive character a homourous old song. The
entertainment on Monday last comprised the adventures of
Prince Charles, and a review of the Rebellion in 1745, illus-
trated by a variety of songs, all sung with humour or feeling,
as the burden of the song demanded, drawing loud applause
upon the eloquent illustrator, whose powers of infusing pathos
into song we never heard surpassed. We hope, that for the
sake of good taste, these entertainments, rat►onal, amusing,
and instructing as they are, will continue to dra'A as crowded
audiences as was collected on itinnday night.

SEUE-LIGIITING SEALING-oval.—" 'BITS new and
very useful invention, which its patentees, Messrs. Davis, of
the Poultry-chambers, are about to introduce to public notice,
combines the useful with the agreeable, and is equally calculated
fur the desk of the counting-house es for that of the. parlour;
but more especially, from its compactness and portability, is it
adapted to the portfolio of the traveller, whether he be com-
mercially seeking to increase his store, or recroatively enjoying
LimTelf by the banks oi the 'lazy Scheldt or wandering Po.'
The peculiar utility of This invention is, that it ern irely dis-

penses with the use of a candle, each stick of wax, sufficient
only for sealing one letter, being chemically provided with the
means of self. ignition. To give it greater complcteness,and
by way of holder, which is removable, a seal, bearing an initial
or other device, bas been contrived to affix to these small mo-
dicums of wax, thus perfecting the process of sealing a letter
wills the least possible trouble. Suffice it to add that, they are
dispensed in convenient quantities, and at a very moderate
price."—Morning Herald.

MR. BURKE'S NEW PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE
FOR 1842.—The New Edition of Mr. Burke's valuable Peerage
and Baronetage for the present year has just been issued, cor-
rected to the present time, and containing all the netr,crea-
tions. This work has long been •considered the standard
authcrity on all matters concerning the Nobility of our coun-
try, which fall within its scope, and it is sufficient to say of it
that every successive Edition receives such progressive im-
provements as we:l entitle it to the praise awardod by a
Contemporary Journal, of being "'the best, the e.-teape-t, and
the most convenient of the kind ever offered to the pullic."
NEWLY-INVENTED SPECTACLES.--The arti-
