.The Old English GentIeman.',

Previous to my becoming so celebrated for the
singing of Farewell TO the Mountains" had
produced a song which spread It's popularity over
the civilized world almost as rapidly as if the
wires of the telegraph had transmitted its melody
to the furthest pole this was "The Old English
Gentleman" Having been invited to an evening
party in the city where music was to be the pre-
siding deity, met q believe for the first time) an
amateur of some celebrity, Mr. Crew. who was
bookseller in Lambs, Conduit street, and pos
sessed of a beautiful voice. He sang the Irish
melodies charmingy, generally without accom-
paniment, which gave them a wildness and ori.
ginalty that at times were quite enchanting
"Rch and rare were the gems she wore" was one
Of his great songs; in fact, | think he rarely
escaped without singing II.
This evening he threw Off his bardic mantle
and sang song we had never heard before,
"The Old English Gentleman" All were In
raptuTes with it. "WhOsC was 1t Z" Where did
il come from :" " How did you obtain It ?" were
the questions put from all quarters, terminating
with Do sing IL again - As for me, was in
ecstacGs; ! saw In an instant what | could do
with it, and eagerly inquired where it could be
obtained whether | might introduce il TO the
public, &c; | felt it was a fortune to me IL
could be the person to do SO. Mr.. Carewe in
formed me il was very old song, and that any
one had right to it. Withthis begged copy,
which he said he would send me next day In
strict accordance with bis p omisr, received and
Immediately began to study il. The first
time l sang il in publit vas at "A grand concert
given on the st &c OF her VI 'jesy's Italian OPERA
in the Haymarket, where S George Smart con-

Mori, and nearly all the first Italian and English
singers appea ed during the evening.

verse the applause wa, great; at the termination
of the second verse still greater; at the third IL
increased; aud at the end such a storm arose,
that was qui'e bcwildered, and could not under.

song or a Tc-demaUd. In my hesitation I hur-

This is very far from being the case. The same
great writer who has given O picture OF the
