THE LATE MR. WALTER SHERWIN. The death of Mr. Walter Sherwin, which occurred on Thursday in Sydney, will be heard of with regret by many old colonists. Mr. Sherwin came here with Miss Julia Harland, Mr. Farquharson Smith, and Mr. Linley Norman in the year 1856. They appeared together first in Cremorne-gardens, a popular place of amusement at that time under the management of Mr. G. Coppin. The operatic stage owes something to Mr. Sherwin, who was the tenor of his time. When Mr. Lyster with his organised company came to this city the idea of opposition died out, and Mr. Sherwin, with Madame Carandini and her daughters, began to travel. Mr. Sherwin was always business manager of the company as well as first tenor. When travelling from Ararat to Hamilton in the tour of 1863, Mr. Sherwin lost an arm through the bursting of a gun. He continued his professional career, and maintained his tenor voice until the last. He had a good knowledge of harmonious music, was a good business manager, and a most genial man.
