WILSON'S SCOTTISH AMUSEMENT. VICTORIA Rooms
On Tuesday morning last, Mr.. Wilson was |
honored with a crowded assembly of fashonables |
at the Victoria Rooms, and again in the evening of
the same day, although the weather was far from |
favorable. The evening was dedicated to Burns and
most ably did Mr.. Wilson get through the perform
ance; but yet, he appeared to sing with effort;
we fear he was tatlgued-indeed, how could it be
otherwise! he almost possesses ubiquity; he sings
here one evening; in London the next morning and
evening; here again the day after: and the following
one at Exter to say nothing of two performances
the same day, OF fifteen or six cen songs, in
Guiding encores; our only amazement is, that he is
not perfectly hoarse and that he is enabled to sing
at'all.-Liuepool paper.

unveiled her dorsal extremties completely and
unexpectedly, that the young ladies in the dress
boxes dropped their eyes, and mammas looked serl-
Gus; while the major part of the house experienced
delight which could exhaust itself only in one
general explosion Of mirth and uproar.
