COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Registrar Roche.)
RE JOHN LACY.

This was a meeting for choice of assignees. The bank-
rupt was described as formerly carrying on business in
Cornhill, as insurance broker, in copartnership with Wm.
Foster, under the style of Foster, Lacy, and Co., also
trading as insurance broker and underwriter, in copartner-
ship with Humphrey, Miller, Bushall, and Co., under the
style of Bushall, Lacy, and Co., lately residing at Grove-
terrace, Lisson-grove, and Prospect-place, Kilburn.
The bankrupt applied a few days since for his i elease from
cuss ody, when it was stated that the firm of Bushall, Lacy/
and Co., had had large transactions in the East, and be-
coming involved to the extent of £150,000, arrangements
were made for a new firm of Foster, Lacy, and Co., and the
understanding was that they were not to become liable for
the debts of the old firm, but to set about liquidating them.
They had received 570,000, and had rateably distributed it
amongst the creditors of Bashall, Lacy, and Co. They had
not, however, effected a final settlement, and X 86,( 30 was
still due. The bankrupt having been arrested, he was ad-
vised to apply to this court. The release was granted, and
assignees were now chosen.

CHARLES MATHEWS IN FARTS.

Our inimitable Charles Mathews, the most ad-
mirable and finished comedian now living—has,
after all, after a temporary baulk recently on the
first night of his appearance at Paris, fairly taken
the Parisians by storm, and is now " the rage"
there in that fastidious capital. Money is now
nightly being turned away from the do.srs of the
Varietes. What the Paris critics think of him as
an actor (in their own language!) let the following
extracts from Ie Pays and Z' Opinions National
serve to indicate :

NEW YORK., Sept. 5, Morning.
The siege of Charleston continues. The position
of affiirs has not materially changed.

It is reported from Washington that the Ame-
rican consul at Frankfort hoisted the Mexican flag
on his own responsibility.
The panic in the stock market continues.

Mathews recalls to mind, very forcibly, our ex-
cellent Arnal. He has, like him, the countenance
capable of highly comic expression, the piercing
and malicious eye, the exquisite natural tact, and
be joins to these advantages a quality that Arnal
had long bran wanting in, an alluring vivacity
which is most amusing. They say that among
English actors the Comedian is, to a certain t.7.tent,
combined with the Clown. Mathews does not belie
the proverb. He indulges in a variety of move•
meats and gestures that are almost incredible, and Carnival
he has a way of crossing his legs one over the other Johnny Armstrong ....
which is irresistibly comic. In saying this we find I Nine ran.

would degenerate into caricature. We recognise in
him the method and taste of Arnal. In this respect
at least his talent is quite French. Ido not see at
the present mcment upon our genre theatres, a
single one of our attars who can be compared to
him. —L' Opinthn Nationale.
The piece, as we see, is nothing extraordinary,
but the actor has displayed in it a great talent.
He shines particularly by his natural gifts, by the
high finish of his comedy, by his good taste, and by
his tact in seizing every shade and variety in a part.
This is a comedian of the same character as our
Arnal. To which characteristics let us join some
unmistakeable English peculiarities whin are not
displeasing, and that especial sang froid which
appertains to the race, and we may form some
notion of the talented actor, so popular in his own
country, and whom we felicitate the Varietes on
having made known to us.—Le Pays.

Mr. Buckstone commences his winter campaign

great alterations have been made in the front of the
house, all of which will be found to add to the com-

Mathews also join in a short time after the open-
