The Council of State of Geneva gave a grand dinner

to Dr. Bow- ring on the 17th, on the termination of his mission in Switzerland.

We regret that Mr. Wilson, the vocalist, who has had a very success- ful engagement in Dublin, and is extolled to the skies in the journals of that city, met with a severe accident last week.

One of the stage-traps had been very carelessly left insecure, and while Mr. Wilson was crossing the stage during the performance of the Bottle Imp, it gave way under him ; fortunately he caught hold of the stage by one of his arms while falling, and hung there till secured by some of the persons on the stage. He received two severe wounds on one of his legs, which have caused inflammation to a great degree.—Morning Register.
