At the English Opera, The Gaberlunzie Man, a musical afterpiece,
by LEMAN REDE, founded on one of the many anecdotes of JAMES the Fifth, and serving, like Cramond Brig, to introduce several Scottish airs and romantic adventures, and to show off WILSON in a picturesque dress, has been played this week. On the first time of its performance, WILSON was rather hoarse ; but on Wednesday,the night of his benefit, be poured forth his soul in the sweet and simple melodies of his country, with enrapturing effect. We were glad to see the house fully and bril- liantly attended on that occasion ; a tribute to talent, industry, and good conduct, which no public performer better deserves.
