THE TREATREAS

ADELPHI.

Madame Celeste, who appeared last evening for the
first time this season, performed one of her most favourite
characters—Marie Ducange, in Mr. Boyle Bernard's
highly popular melodrama of that name. The announce-
ment of her appearance drew a very crowded house, and
she was welcomed with the enthusiasm which she never
fails to excite at this theatre. Madame Celeste has long
maintained, and does so still, her pre-eminence as the
star of the melodrama, and the character of Marie Du-
cange is one in which her peculiar powers are displayed
to the greatest advantage. In the incidents of the piece,
the romantic, as usual, in this department of the stage,
is carried to extravagance, and the heroine is hurried
through a series of the strongest passions, passing from
joy and rapture to the extremity of despair and madness.
Madame Celeste's acting partakes of the exaggeration
which belongs to this species of drama, and is indeed
necessary to give it duo effect—but she has powers
worthy of the most classic stage, and her bursts of tragic
passion sometimes emulate those of Rachel herself. In
this piece the whole interest centres in Celeste alone,
The other characters are mere commonplaces, which
give the actors no means of distinguishing themselves.
The piece, however, was carefully put upon the stage,
and the performance on the whole was satisfactory.

working class ; but it was almost a misnomer to call any
&ass, in this country in particular, the working class.
IThe fact was that in this country of Great Britain, with
some exceptions which were far from numerous, they all
belonged to the working classes. (Cheers.) From the
Queen on the throne, who devoted some hours every day
to concerns affecting the public welfare of her kingdom,
down to the humblest labourer at from four or five shil-
lings a week, and including the ministers, statesmen,
merchants, and gentlemen of landed estate who fulfilled
their duty, they all belonged to the working classes, and
shame to those who did not. (Cheers.) But amongst
others, the warehousemen and clerks belonged to the
working classes, and their object was consistent. They
required not only industry but education and consider-
able faculties of mind, and it was but fit that those among
them who did not attain the same suncess as others
should at least have the consolation of thinking that
those who had been their fellow-labourers would think of
their orphan children after they were gone. The noble
lord concluded by repeating the toast, which was re-
ceived with great cheering.
The Rev. Dr. ARCHER gave the health of the chair-
man, amid loud and repeated cheers.
Lord J. RUSSELL said he was not going to make a
political speech in return for the very warm manner in
which his health had been received. He had no fault to
find with people for differing with him in opinion, for of
what use was our free constitution, if the people were
not to form their opinions from their own views and
their own judgment. He could only say, that in all the
speeches he had made during the course of his long poli-
tical life, his only object had been the welfare of the
country. (Hear.) He might have been mistaken, but he
had always acted to the best of his judgment. (Cheers.)
A collection was then made, which amounted on the
whole to about 1,7001.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH TO INDIA.

The electric telegraph from England to India, which
was a dream, bids fair to become a reality. The inventor
of the submarine telegraph has completed his line across
the Mediterranean, and is desirous to extend it to the
Indian Penineu'a. As far as Suez he will be supported
by the British Government, and his success is certain.
From that point, however, he must trust to the East
India Company for official aid, without which it is im-
possible to raise the required capital. The projector,
we believe, is convinced that a aingle copper wire,
covered with gutta percha, and secured by galvanised
iron wire, could be la:d down for about 1001. a mile. He
asks, we believe, a guarantee of 5 per cent. on a capital,
say, as an extreme estimate, of 1,000,0001. sterling. Ii
return. the Government will possess an exclusive rigl t
to the line for a certain number of hours a-day, and, we
presume, a general control over the undertaking. With
the immense batteries recently prepared for the Atlantic
line, it is understood that direct communication wish
England may be easily maintained. The project needs
but one comment. It is certain that the projector is no
dreaming enthusiast ov dishonest speculator, but a quiet
man of science who has already carried out undertakings
almost equally vast. It is certain that the line once com-
plete would place India within one day's journey o f
England. Lastly, it is certain that these advantage.,
the very mention of which might take away the breath
of the most daring, may be secured for a possible risk of
some 50,0001. a-year. We are unable to state whether
this propo•ilion is as yet before the Government of
India. It has, however, been favourably considered by
the Court, and must shortly be before the Governor-
General. Lord Dalhousie has inaugurated railways,
telegraphs, and the penny post. It may be reserved for
him, also, to render his reign immortal by the establish-
ment of instantaneous communication between India
and England.—Friend of India.

THE HYDE-PARK DISTURBANCE.

Several persons were examined yesterday at Marl-
borough-street police office on charges connected with
the foolish and riotous proceedings in Hyde-park on
Sunday. William Kimbura was charged with obstruct-
ing the police in the execution of their duty. It was
proved that the prisoner formed part of a mob who
hooted at the police when they had taken a man into
cutody, and that be incited the mob to rescue the man.
Mr. Bingham committed the prisoner for a month. John
York, who was proved to have assaulted two constables,
was committed for a month for each offence. Richard
Hickson, a lad of 15, was sentenced to 14 days' impri-
sonment for disorderly conduct, and for inciting the mob
to interfere with the police in the execution of their
duty. The next case was that of John Bradley, who
was charged with distributing bills tending to excite to
a breach of the peace. Mr. Parry, who attended for
the prisoner, asked under what act of Parliament the
prisoner was charged! Inspector Bickerston said the
2d and 3d of Victoria, sec. 63 and 64. Mr. Bingham,
who strongly condemned those assemblages, and gave
his opinion that they were both illegal and mischievous,
and that this particular case came within the act of Par-
liament in question, condemned the defendant to pay a
fine of 3/. At the request of Mr. Parry, however, the
fine was increased to 31. ls., in order that the defendant
might be enabled to appeal against the decision.

The troops belonging to the consolidated cavalry depot
at Canterbury, consisting of the Ist Royal Dragoons and
the 6th Inniskillen Dragoons, underwent a general in-
spection yesterday by the Inspector-General of Cavalry,
the Earl of Cardigan, who was accompanied by Colonel
Cotton and another inspecting officer. Although the
rain descended in torrents almost incessantly during the
whole time the men went through the movements of a
field-day ; their kits were also thoroughly inspected by
his lordship, who pointed out many deficiencies, and
articles that were not suited for the Crimean ser-

vice, which his lordship ordered to be remedied.
The stables and horses were then inspected, and
subsequently the school and hospitals. At the con-
clusion of the inspection Lord Cardigan, observing a
farrier of the Inniskillens with the Crimean riband,
inquired if he was wounded ? The farrier replied in the
affirmative. "Did I see you at Scutari ?" rejoined his
lordship. "Yes, my lord," was the answer. "Did
_ . _

you get any of the money I left there for you ?" "No,
my lord." " Why, I left 1001. to be distributed among
you; did you not get any ?" "No, my lord," was the
reply of the wounded soldier, " nor have I been able to
get the money that I left in the country yet, my lord."
Colonel Cotton said there were many similarly situated,

but they would get it by and by. Lord Cardigan then
left, and the troops were dismissed to their quarters.

MILITIA.

Major-General Eden and Major Nasmyth proceeded
to Carlow on Monday to inspect the Kildare Rifles in
that garrison. Lord Seaton, Commander of the Forces
in Ireland, was also expected to arrive in Carlow on
Tuesday.
The various depot battalions throughout Ireland have
received orders to send out draughts for their respective
regiments to Malta, to the number of 960 men and 64
officers. Of these a draught of 50 men and 8 officers of
the 55th Regiment will leave Templemore immediately.
A large number of young men have arrived in Water-
ford, being volunteers from the Lancashire Regiment of
Militia, for the 50th Regiment of the line.

SUNDERLAND DOCK.

The annual meeting of this company was held at Sun-
derland on Tuesday ; Mr. G. Hudson, M.P., in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said he never addressed a meeting of shareholders with
greater pleasure. It was but nineyears since they obtained
their act; and this year, when the southern outlet was
completed, they would offer such facilities to shipping
entering frnm the sea as there was not in the district ;
and, as a marine work, their docks would compare. with
any undertaking in the world. The railway system had
been of immense profit and benefit to the public,
but the shareholders in these undertakings had found
that their profits upon increased traffic were swallowed
up by working expenses never anticipated ; but, so far
as the dock was concerned, as they increased their re-
venue the directors anticipated that they would decrease
their working expenses. He then pointed to the gradual
and progressive increase in their revenue year by year
since the dock was opened.
The report was adopted, and a dividend of 4 per cent.
upon the ordinary shares was declared payable on the
15th of September next.
Mr. C. Bramwell, Mr. T. Reed, Mr. N. Plews, Mr.
R. Scarfield, and Mr. J. Hartley, the retiring directors,
were re-elected ; an.l. the retiring auditor, Mr. C. S.
Moon, was also re-elected.
The meeting was then made special, and the CHAIR-

STRICTURE of the URETtIRA : its Rational

By F. B. COURT6TAY,

" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience In the treatment of stric-

surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
matter of sunrise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous and skilfbl manipulator with urethral instruments ;
and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a strictu. e which had
previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the
whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation
he has in this res sect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with
greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture

LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9,185 F.

Lord JOHN • RUSSELL was until within the last
few weeks an influential member of the Cabinet
It may, therefore, be presumed that he was tho-
roughly cognisant of the Ministerial views and in-
tentions respecting the progress of the War. One
of his henchmen, wile is generally supposed to de-
rive his inspiration from the Noble ex-Secretary,
is at the head of the Admiralty, and, as Sir
CHARLES WOOD could scarcely have any secrets
from his recognised leader, the Noble Lord must
have been peculiarly conversant with everything
relating to the management and contemplated
proceedings nf the Fleet ! He was, therefore, an
unexceptionable witness on such matters. Whether
then he argues inferentially or categorically—from
facts known to' the community at large, or makes
direct and positive assertions—we may be certain
that he avails himself of recent official information,
wad may consequently be regarded as speaking ex
tjat,hicircs on such points.

The report ef the directors stated that, notwithstanding
the peculiar severity of the winter and spring, which
greatly interfered with the traffic of the line, the grass
receipts, compared with those of the preceding half-year,
did not exhibit so serious a diminution as might have
been anticipated. The ordinary passengers on the line,
exclusive of subscribers, have exceeded 130,000, giving
a weekly average of 5,014. The capital aacount to the
30th of June last showed that the receipts were 551,4721.,

interest to 14,8681., leaving a balance of 15,4511. The
directors propose that a dividend at the rate of s!i per
cent. per annum be declared, being an increase of a per
cent. over the last dividend, and that 5,1521. be carried
to the reserve fund, which will then amount to 7,3961.
The rolling stock and permanent way have been effici-
ently upheld during the half-year. The maintenance of
the entire line is now in the hands of the company, and
the directors find this to be inure economical and satin
factory than having the work done by contract. The

CORK AND BANDON.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the office, Gracechurch-street ; Mr. T. Wink-
worth in the chair.

Mr. H. W. Wood, the secretary, read the report.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said that, with one or two exceptions, the liabilities of
the company had been ascertained. The prospects of
traffic were encouraging, and the receipts for the
past month amounted to 1,0131. against 8111. at the
corresponding period of last year, showing an increase
of 2021., or about 25 per cent. Owing to the financial
position of the company they had been compelled to
use the net revenue for the purposes of capital, but if
they were enabled to carry out certain arrangements
there would be enough left to pay the dividend. They
had received subscriptions for 23,0001. out of the'pro-
posed new capital of 30,0001. The first instalment,
amounting to 5,000/., had been paid, and they could
rely on the receipt of 4,000/. more. It only required
the assistance of the shareholders who had not yet sub-
scribed to complete the new capital. The English
shareholders had subscribed their proportion of the new
capital, and so had the directors.
Mr. BATES seconded the motion.

Mr. SWANSTON thought, if it were possible to assure
the shareholders that 30,0001. would be sufficient to
pay off the liabilities of the company, that the rest of
the money would be forthcoming.
Mr. GREHAN said that, so far as they could ascertain,
they believed that all the liabilities would be within the
limits of the new capital. Some difficulties had been
met with in respect to the Governmedt loan ; a warrant
had been filled op fOr the sale of the line, in con,eqnence
of some of the instalments due not being paid, but the
directors came forward with hard cash, and saved the
company for the present. It only remained for a few
proprietors to exert themselves, and raise the remainder
of the money required, which would place the company
in a sound position.
Mr. SWANSTON would, do everything in his power to
induce the shareholders in his district to subscribe and
pay their proportion of-the new capital.
The CHAIRITAN said they were all indebted to Mr. Gre.
han for his great exertions to obtain subscriptions for the
30,0001. to relieve the company from its difficulties. Sub-
scriptions for 23,0001. had been obtained,and it was hoped
the other shareholders would make up the rest. The
directors had made very considerable pecuniary sacrifices
for the company, and they had no doubt of the prospe-
rity of the line when released from its difficulties.
Resolutions were passed adopting the report, and
voting the best thanks of the meeting to Mr. Grehan
and the Dublin gentlemen associated with him for their
exertions to promote the interests of the company.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to
the directors, secretary, and other officers of the com-
pany for their valuable services.
