DIVISION OF PROFITS. The success and Increasing prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors, at the last animal investigation, to declare a third Bonus, varying from 30 to 74 'per cent. on the premiums paid on each Policy effected on the Profit scale. The primary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda tion of pauper lunatics, and of other lunatics in poor circumstances, in the northern counties •f Scotland, which comprise an extent of surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few cells attached to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of the insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up wards of 700, are left in estate of wretched destitution, either burden some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam. ing about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the community from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the in jury, and the terror of the country. To abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightful neglect and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients. The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,0001. will be required to erect the necessary buildings, and to form a fluid for the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable progress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that with Metropolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary finds will be obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen.. The rulee4br Ittir government of-the Institution will be of course de.; termined'at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub mitted to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient system of management, comprehending the chief official funtionaries of the district, but giving to the Subscribers due and ample powers of centrol and recommendation. We are, respectfully, Your very obedient servants, (Signed) W. H. COLQUHOUN. JOHN MICKENZIE.

The formation of a railway from Nottingham to Boston Is, unques tionably, of the greatest importance to the whole of the districts and towns which it will connect, and will prove highly advantageous to the manufacturing and agricultural interests. By reference to the map of England, it will be seen that Boston is only about forty-eight miles from Nottingham, while all other sea-ports; on the east coast, are at a much greater distance from Nottingham. A very great traffic already exists between Boston and Nottingham, which may be increased almost to an incalculable amount when - the facilities of railway transit are completed. The export trade from Boston is now comparatively limited, by the want of means of conveyance from tile manufacturing districts, which this railroad will supply. Boston is situate in the midst of the finest land in the kingdom ; and this part of Lincolnshire may be justly termed the garden of the manufacturing district of England. The produce of the whole dis trict, particularly its wheat, is consumed in the large manufacturing towns ; and the carriage of corn and cattle, to the great centres of population, will alone furnish a constant and certain source of revenue. In addition to this, a large traffic will be carried along the line, in manufacture goods, and in coal and lime from the Nottingham shire and Derbyshire coal fields, to rural districts through which it passes, and to the shore of the German Ocean; the latter traffic is yet to be developed, and with the cheap transit provided by this line the important article of coal will compete at a great advantage to the consumer with the present supply, which is now brought by sea from Newcastle. A very considerable amount of the vast staple produce of Notting ham, Derby, Loughborough, Leicester, and the neighbourhood, which is exported to Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Germany, and all other parts of the Baltic, is now conveyed by a circuitous and expensive route to Hull and London, and thence, after repeated removals by ship or steamer, to its destination; whereas, on the completion of this line, it would be transmitted direct to Boston, and thence to the be fore-mentioned places, in much fess time, and at a much less expense. Boston is not only the nearest seaport town to Nottingham, but it is the ii atural seaport of the manufacturing towns of the whole of the midland district, and it is the most convenient, safest, and best situated on the eastern coast, for the shipment and transhipment of merchandise. By recent improvements the river, or arm of the sea, which runs through the centre of the town, has been widened and deepened, thus affording means for vessels of from three to four hun dred tons hurthen, to take in and discharge their cargoes at the wharf-side, without risk or damage, an object of importance not only in point of security to the goods, but also in the saving of expense usually incurred for lighter charges. The nature of the country through which the line will pass is most favourable in its facilities for construction : it is nearly on a dead level. The cost of construction will be as low as that of any line in the kingdom ; and the Company will not have to encounter the opposi tion of the owners of the land and estates through which the line will pass, they being, as far as can be ascertained, most favourably dis posed towards the undertaking. It will be seen that the proposed line combines all the elements of a profitable railway ; it has a seaport town as one of the termini ; it passes through a rich and productive agricultural district, to the great seats of manufacture and consumption, each being a certain source of traffic ; and it affords ready communication with the southern, northern, and midland counties. It is intended to apply for power in the Act to allow four per cent. interest upon deposits, until the completion of the line. Applications for shares may be made in the subjoined form, ad dressed to the Provisional Committee, at the Office of the Company, 14, Birchin-lane, Lombard-street, London; or to the Solicitors. No person need apply for shares unless the application is accom panied by an unexceptionable reference. A certain number of shares will be reserved for owners of land on the line, and for parties resident In the locality through which the line will pass. FORM OF APPLICATION.

The object of the proposed undertaking is to complete the line of railway communication between the important city of Kilkenny and the capitals of Ireland and England, via Carlow; and to afford to the rich counties of Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wicklow, the most conve nient local intercourse, with the cheapest mode of transmitting their produce to many of the principal markets of England and Wales. A glance at the map will show the vast importance of the proposed railway, which will afford the most direct communication between all the south midland counties of Ireland and London, and the south and west of England ; and it is expected that as soon as the contem plated railway from Port Dynliaen to Worcester is completed, the direct journey from Kilkenny to London will net exceed thirteen hours, and from Carlow; twelve ; while the proposed advantage of short and direct railway access to a port of shipment on the eastern coast of Ireland, will afford such increased facilities for the export of the live stock, flour, and other agricultural and mineral produce, abounding in the counties through which the proposed line of railway will run, as may reasonably be anticipated to produce a considerable profit to the Shareholders, and to prove of incalculable advantage to that rich and highly improving portion of Ireland. The counties of Kilkenny and Carlow are also peculiarly famed for limestone of the purest quality, which is an absolute necessary, as manure, to the soil of the county of Wicklow, where, at present, with all the disadvantages of slow and expensive land-carriage, it is con veyed in very large and rapidly-increasing quantities. The mineral traffic of the county of Wicklow, close to the mines of which the proposed line of railway will pass, amounts to considerably upwards of 100,000 tons annually, a large portion of which is exported to Neath, Swansea, and the south-west of England, from which dis tricts there is, in return, a very large importation of coal and calm, which would find its way into the interior of the counties of Carlow and Wicklow by means of the proposed railway. It may also be expected that the amount of passenger traffic from the inland counties of Ire land, which the projected line Win unquestionably draw towards the unrivalled natural beauties of the county of Wicklow, may be esti mated as a source of very considerable income. From surveys already cempleted, it has been ascertained that there are no engineering difficulties calculated to impede the speedy and successful formation of the line ; and the , promoters have the satis faction of stating, that about three-fodrthii of the land through whicsh the railway will pass is owned -by the noblemen - and gentlemen who compose the Committee of Management of the• Company . capital of the Company has been fixed with a view of making such necessary improvements in the harbour of Wicklow as the public convenience may require. • A portion of the Shares will be reserved for the Great Western, and the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway Companies, and power will be taken in the Act to lease the line to the latter Com pany at four per cent. per annum on the capital subscribed, in addi tion to a moiety of the profits, if deemed desirable by the share ' holders. It is also proposed to take power for augmenting the capital, and extending the line direct from Kilkenny to Clonmel, if hereafter con sidered advantageous ; in which case priority as shareholders will be given to the shareholders of the present company. The plans, sections, and books of reference will be ready within the time prescribed by the standing orders of Parliament, and appli cation will be made for a Bill to Incorporate the company very early in the next session. No subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit of I f. ss. per share until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

THE CIRCUITS' COMMISSION REPORT. TO THE QUEEN'S MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY. Your Majesty having been pleased to issue a commis sion under the great seal, dated the 14th of February, 1845, directed to Sir James Parke, Knight, one of the Barons of your Majesty s Exchequer ; Sir Edward Hall Alderson, Knight, one other of the said Barons ; Sir John Taylor Coleridge, Knight, one of the Justices of your Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench ; the Honourable James Stuart Wortley, Fitzroy Kelly, and William Whateley, and John Green wood, Esquires, and Sir William Heathcote, Baronet ; and Edmund Denison and Thomas Grimstone Bucknall Esteourt, Esquires ; whereby, after reciting that it had been humbly represented unto your Majesty that the circuits of the judges in England and Wales are very unequal, as well in extent as with respect to the number of causes tried upon such circuits respectively, and that the intervals between the period of holding the same in each year are also very unequal ; and that it had been consieered that some alteration in these parti culars might be conducive to the public good, your Majesty was graciously pleased to appoint the said seve ral persons, or any five or more of them, to be your Ma jesty's Commissioners for inquiring and considering whether it would be expedient, with a view to the more convenient and better administration of justice, that any and what alteration should be made in the division of England and Wales into circuits for judicial business, and in the periods for holding such circuits, and whether it would be necessary or proper that any change should be made in the law terms for the purpose of such altera tions, and also for considering in what manner such al terations may be best effected : We, the commissioners, whose hands and seals are hereunto set, have carefully examined into the questions referred to us, and humbly report to your Majesty the result of our inquiries. We first proceeded to consider whether the in conveniences arising from the unequal division of the year into two circuits are such as to require a change, and how such change may be best ef fected. At present the interval between the sum mer and spring circuits is nearly eight months, whilst that between the spring and summer circuits does not exceed four ; and the former interval includes the whole winter, with its long nights, and its increased suffering, amongst the poorer classes. It cannot, there fore, Ise wondered - at, if, from the longer interval alone, at the spring circuit, the civil business should more than equal, and still less if, from the combined effect of' both causes, the criminal business should very greatly exceed. that of the summer circuit ; and thus the burden upon the jurymen at the two assizes is disproportioned, and the prisoners committed soon after the summer assizes are necessarily imprisoned for a much longer period than those committed after the Lent assizes. This has led to the special commissions for delivering the gaols, issued for th e l as t t wo y ears , un d er w hi c h sittings have been held in the larger counties in the months of December and January. These have sup plied a remedy for the particular evils against which they were directed, but are themselves liable to the most serious objections. The sittings have been held to the great inconvenience and expense of jurors, sheriffs, and others, whose duties require their attend ance at the assizes, and who were called from their homes once oftener in the year than heretofore. They have been unattended by the same full bar which the union of criminal and civil business attracts to the ordinary assizes, which is not only an important benefit to the accused, but a great security for the due adminis tration of justice ; and they have been presided over by a single judge, a course by no means so satisfactory as where two judges travel the same circuit, and have the opportunity for mutual advice and assistance. It appears to us that the necessity for a third circuit, for criminal cases, with its attending advantages, may be obviated, and the benefit of a more speedy trial of of fenders obtained by a permanent arrangement whereby the circuits may occur at equal intervals of time, and the business be equally distributed between the winter and summer assizes. And this can only be done by an alteration in the time of holdinr , the spring circuit ; for to alter the summer circuit, and to fix it during the months of September and October, would, we are convinced, be inexpedient. It would take from the bar and the judges, and indeed the whole legal profession, that wholesome vacation which alone, by its annual recurrence, brings them back with minds refreshed by leisure and varied study to their important duties, and it would be to devote a period of the year to the assizes at which the gentlemen and farmers of the country, who in general have to act as jurymen, are otherwise much engaged. In order, therefore, to divide the year equally, the spring assizes must begin early in January ; we think about the 11th January would be found most convenient, as being immediately after the Christmas quarter ses sions, when the gaols will have b een d e li vere d of the smaller offences by the local magistracy. In order to accomplish this, Hilary term must be changed; and we at one time supposed that the post ponement of Hilary term till the beginning of March would be the best arrangement. But we have thought, on fuller consideration, that it is desirable to have two a t f e on r r m onp s following epwort rialst unit3a each roifsihnega circuit, trhi negreand in therefrom, odm o,f order anrd disposinge of 1t enablingat o t i h tehree themm ( a , t ) p ; oa b nr e s. ties ' where new , trials are ranted, to proceed to trr 'heir / //~ 2 ~-- r " _~/ ~! •-' se s7:S'ers' - ss, ". sizes, as at present is or oughts.. s come to the _conclusion that it . e '' .., more expedient to provide that in,,, iristruas, there should - be two ter AissZ" between Easter and' Trinity ternr4 sno e only a short vacation between theinl.../ e . • - -We___Latee,, propose, then, to leave Michaelmas term un touched, to make a vacation of a week between it and a new term still to be called Hilary, term, which should end on the 23d of Decem ber, and to leave Easter and Trinity terms, and the vacations after each untouched. The legal year would then stand thus :—November the 2d to Novara. ber the 25th, Michaelmas term ; November the 25th to the 2d of December, vacation ; the 2d of December to the 23d of December, Hilary term ; December the 23d to Aril the 15th, vacation ; and the rest of the year as at present. The vacation between Hilary - and Easter terms would suffice for the assizes and air tings ; and the deficiency of three weeks lost to the sittings by the short vacation between Michaelmas and Hilary terms, may then be supplied at the discretion of the respective chief judges of each -Court. - We would limit that discretion only by forbidding sittings after the 11th of January, and before the Ist of March. In order to accomplish this object, the aid of the Legislature will be required. If this plan be adopted, we would suggest further. that the Secretary of State for the Home Depurtment should recommend the justices of the peace, in their respective counties, to make some permanent arrange ments for the more completely lighting the courts of justice, both as to the parts occupied by the speetators, and those devoted to the transaction of business, so that order may be more easily preserved. This we mention because the assizes will, under this proposed arrange ment, be held at a period of the year when the days are shorter, and daylight less bright. It may be as well also to observe, that unless your Majesty shall be pleased to make some alteration in the time for the next appointment of sheriffs, the existing officers will, in many cases, be obliged to serve at three. assizes. We have next proceeded to inquire whether the present inequality of the circuits requires to be corrected, and the circuits more conveniently arranged for the dispatch of business by the fifteen judges, and in what way this can best be effected. The length of time occupied on the respective circuits,. which are travelled by two judges each, is at p resent . nearly as follows:—On the Norfolk circuit rather more than three weeks; on the home and the midland, each. rather more than a month; on the Oxford and western circuits,-each, about six weeks; on the northern circuit about eight weeks, and this allowing only a fortnight for York, for which, however, thre e wee k s oug h t to b e _ allowed, in order to avoid the danger of remanets, and to insure the disposal of the criminal business there by the judges lone, without the aid of other commis-, - sioners. s. - The number of causes forms the best criterion ctZthe._ :Weight of b us i ness on eac h c i rcu i t ; that of the pri soners is less accurate, for on all the circuits, except. the northern, persons charged with small offences are generally committed for trial at the assizes, if whey occur before- the quarter sessions. On the northern the great offences only, for the most part, are sent, to the assizes, which circumstance diminishes the' apparent relative quantity of criminal business oat that circuit, as stated in the official returns. AP". suming, therefore, the number of causes as the proper criterion, and taking an average of the last ten years, we find the business of the Northern Circuit to be five, times as great as the Norfolk or Welsh Circuits, nearlys three times as great as the Midland, more than twice U 3 great as the Oxford - or Western, and nearly twice ae great as the Home Circuit. We all agree that though some inequality on the circuits is desirable, both for the judges and the bar, yet that which now exists in this in stance is too great ; and the only question is, how best it can be remedied. We are satisfied that the business of the chambers in London during the circuits is fully sufficient to occupy, the undivided attention of the fifteenth judge, who must remain in town, and that his labours certainly equal;'and probably exceed, those of any judge travelling ate circuit. It follows, therefore, that only fourteen judges can be spared for the circuits. On this supposition we have proceeded ; and here a_ difference of opinion has arisen. amongst the members of.the commission. All are agreed that the northern circuit is at pmseet inconveniently long, anti that the business of some of the smaller circuits might, without improperly pressing '- upon the judges, be increased, and the northern circuit, divided ; but the only effective division which is practi cable with the present number of judges would clearly involve the annexation either of Yorkshire or Lancashire, or of some part of one of those counties., to the duty of two judges other than these travelling the northern eir s cuit. Under these circumstances, three of our body, Mr, Baron Parke, Mr. Justice Coleridge, and Mr, Beckett Denison, are of opinion that the convenience of the. country requires that some one of these &lesions should be adopted ; whilst, on the other hand, six of our body, viz , Mr. Baron Alderson,, Mr, Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Stuart Wortley, Mr. Whately, Mr, Greenwood, and Mr. Estcourt, think that nos _such change should, for the present at least, be adopted. With the exception of Mr. Baron Alderson., they are of opinion that no efficient and perrnenent alte ration can be made without increasing the present number of judges ; and he concurs - with them in thinking, that as the changes already suggested in the terms, and the time of holding the spring assizes, will allow sufficient space for the dispatch of the business of the northern circuit, as at present constituted, before the Easter term, though probably not before the commence ment of the sittings, the practical effect of the changes. agreed by all to be recommended should be tried bokre any other be made. Upon the supposition, however, that your Majesty cosy possibly think it proper to act upon the former opinion, we have proceeded to inquire which of the suggested o p fn r At e ilA f i r e i g.n r es a d i t t : l l hl e ae , orrpt a e i n li t, ,( opinion, what manner it tws di visions ::it o g with v l t d e h e a b n ew y excepti o noubulde 1 ef f ected.ibeeo Yorkshire from the rest of the northerri nerllielt3ah. v'ael districts 'lt'a(';l i would s e f o rbears a r agreed,abt et' the most convenient arrangement. ioa W as e j d t o ui no ge t s , however. propose to an nex Yorkshire to any other circuit, b ut to form it, as it were, i n t o a new circuit of its e lf. Th e question then arises, by are the. duties of this new circuit to be performed ; and we think that the additional labour wilt most conveniently be imposed on those whose present duties are the lightest., viz. the judge s t rave l l i ng the Norfolk circuit, and that both their convenience and that of the bar - of the northern circuit concur in the ar rangement that it should be travelled, in addition to their own circuit, by these judges, after their ordinary labours shall have terminated. The usual duration of the Norfolk circuit needs not much to exceed three weeks, and this additional duty would robably doubl e it. This would only m a k e a s i x weeks ' circuit, and we think, in comparison with several of the other circuits, this would not be found to be inconveniently long. Pro bably the Learned Judges would think it advisable to begin the Norfolk circuit in Norfolk or Suffolk, and end it in Buckinghamshire. By so doing they would, at the end of their first circuit, be within a few hours' distance from York, the scene of their additional labours: much nearer in point of time, and not farther in point of dis tance, than the judge travelling the South Wlttles cir cuit is, at the end of that circuit, from his duties at Chester. We have no doubt that an efficient bar from the northern and Norfolk circuits would attend the new circuit ; and we recommend that the Learned Judges who travel the northern circuit should make Liverpool the last place, and that the commission days for 'I ork and Liverpool should, for the present at least, be on the, same day. This plan, it will be seen, provides for the reduction op the northern circuit, without disturbing any other (qrs. cult, or rendering it necessary to provide any new ar rangement of clerks of assize; and if at any future time the I d a , b a o n n d r no more w generalchang number es h i e n jud g es tro c theesd h ,ou l d b additional e produced to be thrown upon the judges travelling the without inconvenience, be with dNroarwfonl circuit may, .k / 2 causes at the following to be the case. We, therefore, have will be, on the whole, the interval before r and that, as tr there shr One trifling alteration would be necessary if this plan should be adopted in the appointment of the revising , barristers ; it would be proper, by the aid of Parliam en t, to assign a definite number of them to Yorkshire, sub tracting it from the number now assigned to the northern circuit, and to give the appointment to the senior judge in the commission for Yorkshire. We humbly . take leave further to state to your Ma jesty our opinion, that whether a change shall be made in the northern circuit or not, we think we are not called on to recommend a change in the arrangement of any other circuit. It certainly appears very desirable in itself that the Welsh circuit should be re-modelled, so that the assizes may be held before two judges, the num ber of assize towns being diminished. the disadvantage of a circuit being travelled by a single judge being se rious and sensibly felt ; but this cannot be accomplished without a considerable expense in the erection of new courts, the enlargement of gaols, and the prepara tion of additional lodgings for the judges ; and unless, it should be thought proper to p rov id e f or th ese i n the first instance, at the general expense of the whole king dom, they will throw a heavy burden on the counties in the principality. We know that these and other obstacles prevented the plan .recommended by the Commissioners for the Amenthnent of the Law, appointed by his late Majesty King George IV., in 1828, from taking place, and we have therefore abstained from entering into an inquiry with respect to any change in the Welsh circuit. We have also abstained from offering any opinion upon several other changes suggested to us on the part of the inhabitants of Bristol and other places, such as the pro priety of holding t n oas*izes wit h inthe year, instead of aue at Bristol, of holding assizes at other places, than thoso of f n t ( C 1" o 'llo v if e c n hl i ihtienyg alone.athr are now la\sl:B7d.co heldi n i e o l t d . a u t n i (li d l' e o r Nl t .e • a a nr l ti ne ; ts counties to the city ,1 import ance of some of these, nor look upon them unfavourably; but they appear to us not to fall within the scope of our com :s A i m l g l n is w e s ei h io i a e n. ho and sealed humbly sealeth e 3d submit.aN of June .1 - AMES , 184 5.
