Mr. WILSON continues his musical entertainment ; or rather, he
has expanded it into one of greater dimensions—" Vocal and Narrative Il- lustrations of Scottish Music and Song "—this again being only the first section of an encyclopedic exhibition of the popular melodies of different countries : England and Ireland will contribute their quota the next in order. Besides the music-ball in Store Street, on the Monday of each week, the City and two or three other districts of the Metro- polis have their respective evenings appropriated to this pleasant mode of passing a couple of hours. Mr. WILSON'S pure rich tenor, and sim- ple but effective style of singing, are well suited to national airs, and in Scottish ballads he is unrivalled : he has also a fund of anecdote and information, which he introduces pertinently, in an easy conversational way: in effect, it is a musical " At Home."
