DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

A new ballet, in two acts, entitled the The Island Nymph,
was produced at this theatre last evening., for the rentrie of Ma-
demoiselle Maria and Monsieur Desplaces, anti for the debut
or Mademoiselle Neodot, premiere danseuse at the Grand
Opera at Madrid. The plot is simple. I.d:ara (Monsieur
Desplaces), a young Greek, is wrecked on an island, inhabited
by nymphs. Edda (Mademoiselle Maria), a nymph, finds him
on the shore, and falls in love with him. The Queen of the
island (Mademoiselle Neodot) condemns him to death
as an intruder on the sacred territory ; but, at the
intercession of Edda, she pardons him, and gives him
hospitality, until a ship arrives to take him to his native land.
The nymphs prepare for the chase, and here we have a pas
de chasseuses, by the coryphees and the corps do ballet, and
a grand pas scut, by Mademoiselle Neodet, the debutante.
Mademoiselle Neodot possesses a beautiful figure, and expres-
sive features ; she is excedingly graceful in her movements, and
her pantomime is very expressive. She is a perfe .t mistress
of her art, and her pat are twinkling yet clearly defined, and
crisp, if we may be allowed to make use of such an
expression, in reference to the choerographic art.
While the nymphs are resting from the fatigues of the
chase, Leara appears, and renews his vows of love t, Edda.
'Phis scene gives occasion to the introduction of a grand pas de
deux by Mademoiselle Maria and Monsieur Desplaces, which
is the great feature of the ballet, and in which the tours de
force of Mademoiselle Maria are really wonderful. She was
applauded to the echo, and rapturously encored. Leara, how-
ever, is not a constant lover. He meets with another nymph,
a certain Cloe (Mademoiselle Louise), to whom he
also makes vows of love, and is struck blind
by the avenging gods for his infidelity. In this
scene is introduced a pas de deux d'action by Mademoiselle
Louise and Mons. Desplaces, in which Mademoiselle Louise
exhibited great powers both as a danseuse and a pantomimist.
This young lady has taken a giant's stride in her profess:enal
career, and the day is not far distant when she wall occupy a
conspicuous place among the premiere danseuses of the day.
Wa have not had such a promising danseuse on the English
stage since poor Clara Webster. Glee deserts her
blind lover, but Edda is faithful to him• In
answer to her prayers his sight is restored ; and, sacrificing
her immortality to her love, she accompanies him as his wife
to his Grecian home. The scenery by Grieve and Telbin was
magnificent, and the music of Schira was expressive and appro-
priate. At the fall of the curtain Mademoiselle
Mademoiselle Neodot, and M. Despiaces were cailcd for, and
honoured with the usual ovation. The house was crowded.

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE
CHEST, BROMPTON.—On Saturday afternoon, a committee of
gentlemen, including Colonel Le Blanc, Otho Hamilton, Esq.,
Dr. Forbes, Dr. Roe, Dr. Dickson, &c., the architect, secre-
tary, and other officers of the institution, inspected the west
wing and principal entrance of this truly beautiful and inte-
resting building at Brompton. The greatest satisfaction was
expressed by all at the admirable manner in which the ar-
chitect's (F. J. Francis, Esq.) design has been carried out by
the builders. The warming and ventilation is rapidly pro-
gressing, and arrangements are being made for the application
of temperature of various degrees, so as to approximate that
of different climates to particular apartments. On the occa-
sion of the opening of the portion of the building referred to,
a grand fancy fair and bazaar will be held in the Royal
Gardens of Chelsea College and Old Ranelagh, of which her
Majesty the Queen, through Sir Henry Wheatley, and the
Queen Dowager, through Lord Howe, have graciously signi-
fied their intention of patronizing. When sufficient funds are
available for the completion of the building, the charity will
be second to none in the empire. Robert Baxter, Esq., has
recently subscribed the sum of 1001., and "A receiver of
many armies" 59/., in aid of the building fund.
THE CORN-LAW QUESTION IN THE CITY.—The
following letter has been received by Mr. Wire in answer to a requi-
sition for a Court of Common Council on the subject of the corn-
laws :—" Mansion-house, Feb. 10.—The Lord Mayor presents its com-
pliments to Mr. Wire and the other requisitionists who have re-
quested the Lord Mayor • to call an early Court to consider the pro-
priety of petition! •t; Parliament lin* the total and immediate repeal
of the corn-laws,' and signitlei his assent thereto; and there being
a notice of motion, by Mr. Wire, on the paper of business for the
Court of Common Council on Thursday, the 12th instant, to con-
sider • that the Court do present petitions to both Houses of Parlia•
ment.praying for the total and immediate repeaLof the corn-laws,'
the Lord Mayor will give precedence to Mr. Wire's motion, which
will doubtless answer the purpose of the requislonists ; and due
notice shall be sent to the members of the Court accordingly."

We understand that the long-depending disputes be-
tween the Countess de Deily Ferrais and the executors of the late
Marquis of Hertford have been terminated by a compromise, which
has been confirmed by the Court of Chancery. The Countess is to
receive her pecuniary legaclei in full, amounting with interest to
about 97,0001. Her Ladyship also takes the villa in the Regent's-
park for her life, with the valuable furniture and effects and articles
of vertu for her life. This property is let to Sir Richard Vyvyan, the
Member for Holston, at a large annual sum. The Countess also
takes the Birmingham property, which produces upwards of 1,3001.
per annum, subject to a life•interest upon it. The securities at
Milan, which have been the subject of repeated discussions in our
Courts, are to be purchased by she Countess at a suns agreed upon
with the executors ; and al other claims on each side are to be im-
mediately abandoned. A sum of 70,0001. and upwards was paid on
Friday to the solicitor of the Countess, on account, under the same
order of Court,—Tines.

LAW OF DEBTOR AND CREDITOR.—The Committee
appointed in 1842 by the merchants and traders of London, on the
subject of the Taw if debtor and creditor, and subsequently ap-
pointed last May for the purpose of obtaining an amendment of the
bankruptcy and insolvency law, have printed and circulated a re-
port, which is to be submitted to a public meeting at the London
Tavern on Monday next. The report contains a summary of the
Bill which the Committee have prepared, and which was introduced
by Air. Masterman and Mr. Hawes into the House of Commons last
session. This Bill provides improvements in the first steps et bank-
ruptcy during the period which elapses between the day of appear-
ance before the Court upon the summons and the completion of the
act of bankruptcy, and the taking possession of the property by the
messenger, so as to preclude "reasonable complaint" on the part of
the honest debtor. The Court of Bankruptcy will be empowered to
withdraw its protection from bankrupts and insolvents at discretion,
and such withdrawal will be compulsory if the bankrupt cannot
satisfy the Court that his nankrnptcyis not fraudulent, both assignees
and individual creditors having a right to imprison tho debtor's
person as soon as the protection is withdrawn. Bills of sale and
mortgages of personal property are to be inoperative against
creditors, unless filed within twenty-one days after the execution.
Against the union of the Bankrupt and Insolvent Courts, the Com-
mittee express themselves in the strongest terms. 'A remark on the
haeffletency of the law, as hitherto administered, is followed by this
statement :—" Your Committee will only mention, in illustration of
this statement, that in the six months of the year 1841, prior to the
passing of the Bankruptcy Act of 1842, thirty-three bankruptcies
occurred, in which the amount of debts was 2,998,720/. ; the assets,
as stated in the balance-sheets (but which, as well known, are only
partially realised), being no more than 468,219 L, showing a loss, in
those few cases only, of 2,512,57 1." In collecting facts, nod in
drawing inferences, the Committee seem to have acted with most
lstptable industry. _ _

MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.— ATHAM, FEB. 10.—
This afternoon the 40th Regiment, under command of Major F.
Collington, was inspected in heavy marching order on the general
parade ground, Chatham Barracks, by the Deputy-Adjutant-General,
Major-General George Brown, K. 11., attended by the Colonel, Com-
mandant Sir Thomas Willshire, K.C.11 , and the. Major cf Brigade
Major J. D. O'Brien. The Adjutant-General arrived on the ground
at half-past 1 o'clock ;. the regiment having previously assembled,
forming a line, the band playing " Gcd Save the Queen," they were
formed into companies, when the Adjutant-Gcneral, accompanied by
the Commandant, passed thr ugh the ranks, making a general in-
spection. At the conclusion the officers in charge of the regiment
were called out from the ranks, and, forming a line, were addressed
by the Inspecting-General in very complimentary terms on their
return home, remarking that the regiment was more like one going
out than one so recently returned from India after an absence of 22
years. At the departure of the Adjutant-General, the following
regimental order was published: —" The commanding officer has
much pleasure in communicating to the men, that the Deputy
Adjutant-General was pleased to express his high gratification with
their soldier-like appearance on the parade this afternoon, and
hopes that by their future conduct they will prove them-
selves entitled to that praise which the regiment has hitherto
had the good fortune to receive, and which it so justly merited."
The regiment is expected to march from this garrison in one division
on Thursday next for Canterbury, there to join their depot, about
300 strong. At Canterbury, furloughs are to be granted to the regi-
ment, to extend, according to the Adjutant-General's statement, to
the 15th of April next. The following number of men, viz. 2 colour-
sergeants, 2 corporals, and 42 privates, have been removed to the
Invalid Doped, St. Mary's Barracks, there to await receiving their
discharge on pensions according to their term of servitude. Captain
J. S. Wood, of the 13th Light Infantry, or “ Prince Albert's Own,"
is appointed to the office of Brigade-Major at this garrison, vice
Major O'Brien, who joins his regiment at Dublin. Sergeant-Major
James Gear, of the 57th Regiment, was discharged this day on a pen-
sion, after a service of 26 years. This much-esteemed non-commis-
Monett officer has been 24 years a non commissioned offices, and for
the last 10 years has been Sergeant Major of the garrison at Chat-
ham. His length of service entitles him to participate in the benefits
of the good conduct warrant. Sergeant Michael Conlin, 28th Regi-
ment, was promoted this day to the rank of Sergeant-Major, vice
Gear discharged, and Sergeant Stone, 99th Rosh:nein, is appointed
ITOYost-Sergeant, vice Conlin promoted.

CHARING-CROSS BRIDGE
COMPANY.

The half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this
Company was held at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the
Company's offices, No. 9, Villiers-street, Strand, for the pur-
pose of receiving the directors' report and the transaction of
other business. There was a large attendance of share-
holders. Amongst the directors present we observed Messrs.
Cory, Sutton, Miller, Vaughan, Todd, Christie, and Seeger.
It: Hawes, Esq., the Deputy-Chairman, took the chair,
and called upon the Secretary to read the advertisement
convening the meeting, which having been done,
Mr. LAWRENCE (the clerk) read the directors' report, which
stated that the directors bad to congratulate the proprietors
upon the continued success of the bridge, and that the tolls
received during the last six months, from Ju'y 31, 1845, to
Jan.3l, 1846, would justify the payment of a dividend of 18s.
per share, or nearly 71 per cent. on the capital stock of
the Company, and interest at the rate of 5 per cent. on the
capital paid on the eighth shares, amounting together to
2,937 P. 16s. against the net receipts, after the payment of all
expenses, of 3,06 C/. Bs. 4d. The directors regretted their
inability to arrive at any amicable settlement with
the Market Company with respect to the passage of
the servants of that Company over the bridge.
They were very sanguine as to the last proposition they made
to the Company, because it was in every way advantageous
to the Company. That offer had been met in so uncompro-
mising a spirit that nothing appeared to remain but an ap-
peal to a court of law to decide the claims and rights of
each Company. Such a step the directors much regretted, as
well on account of the expense as to the trouble and
injury to both Companies incidental to such a
proceeding, but in justice to the Company they felt that no
other course was now left open to them. The directors had
also to re-port that they were proceeding with the Bill in
Parliament to enable them to complete the sale of the bridge
to Messrs. Jackson and others, and in consequence of those
proceedings they had not exercised the powers vested in
them by the Act of Parliament obtained last session for
raising additional capital to form approaches ; nor bad they
attempted to raise lo ins to pay off the Exchequer Loan
Commissioners, both or either of which they were authorised
to do hy the resolutions of-the general meeting of proprietors,
held in August la t. The balance, after payment of the pre-
sent proposed dividend, would be 1861. Bs. 41.
The CHAIRMAN, at the conclusion of the report, said he
had very few remarks to make upon the report. The
paragraphs in the report chiefly calling fur his observations
were those referring to the directors' inability to come to any
amicable arrangement with the Hurgerford Market Com-
pany. The directors were particularly anxious to 1 y the
whole affair open to the proprietors. The agreement, out of
which the present dispute arose, was made in 1836, by which
it was arranged that a certain portion of the bridge should be
apportioned to the public, and another to the servants of the
Market Company. That Company now call( d upon the proprie-
tors of t his Company to give them increased advantages,which
of course could not be conceded. The Market Company de-
manded that the public should pass over the bridge toll free.
Arbitration had been agreed to, but nothing satisfactory
could be done That Company said they had no funds to
improve the state of the market -or the approach to the
bridge, but the truth was that they were possessed of up-
wards of 3,000 shares in this Company, and they had not
themselves paid any dividend for the last five or six
years. (Several proprietors of the Market Company who
Isere present, and who are also shareholders in the bridge
Company, here denied the truth of the Chairman's state-
ment.) However, he did hope that they would shortly
again meet and endeavour to settle the present differences in
a manner just and honourable to both parties.
The Rev. W. Onn said that this Company ought to tell the
Market Company, openly and honestly, that they would pay
the expenses of the settlement of the dispute existing between
the two Companies, because he really believed that the
Market Company was in the right and this Company in the
wrung.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Lama said be believed, on the other hand, that the
Market Company had not a leg to stand upon, provided they
went to law.—(dear, hear.)
Mr. FOWLER sincerely hoped that some amicable are
rangement would be entered into for the sake of both
Companies.—(Loud cheers.) He thought that the Chair-
man s doctrine, that because the two Companies were
now in different positions the old agreement could
not be strictly carried out, would lead to very dangerous
results.—(Hear, hear.) The Market Company, with a view
of satisfying this Company, had gone to much expense.—
(Hear, hear.) He really believed that this Company had
in several instances violated the agreement, to the great pre-
judice of the Market Company, in one instance to the ex-
tent.of 3,0001.-a(Hear, hear.) He could not believe the
statement of the Chairman, that the Market Company had
" most unreasonably repudiated the reasonable and fair pro-
posals of this Company. '—(Cheers )
The Hon. Mr. BOVVERIE also recommended this Com•
,any to enter into an amicable arrangement with the Mar-

ket 'Company.
The CHAIRMAN then rose to vindicate the conduct of him-
self and ins fellow-directors with regard to the Market Cern-
pany. 1t had been said by Mr. Fowler that the Market
Company had conceded a great right in carrying out the
alteration of the pier; but that war carried out by mutual
agreement, and that Company could not, therefore, claim
anythirg in that respect. With respect to dredging the
shore, as alluded to by the same speaker, that was
also done by mutual agreement; and if the Market
Company had fulfilled their part of the agreement
at a greater expense that this Company, they had no right
to charge this Company with any injustice.—(Hear, hear.)
This Company proposed that one- sixth more of the bridge
should be appropriated to the Market Company than they
were entitled to, for the purposes of their traffic, and surely
a proposition of that sort should be at once accepted by theM.
Mr. STAINTON charged the directors of this Company with
injustice to the Market Company, although had it not been
for that Company the Bridge Company would have been
bankrupt.— (Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN denied that such was the fact.
Mr. SEAGER, as a director of the Hungerford Market Corn-
parry, appealed to the Chairman and also to the shareholders
present, who were proprietors of the Market Company,
rhether he and his co-directors had not done everything
that could be reasonably expected of them to bring this long-
existing dispute to a settlement? Believing that the Market
Company had honestly done their duty, he did not think it
prudent at present to answer the call that had been made
upon him to enter into an explanation of the conduct of him-
self and his brother directors.—(Applause.)
The CHAIRMAN, in reply to an Hon. Proprietor, stated that
the Market Company had positively refused to pay any por-
tion whatever of the expense of the proposed alteration, and
it was on that ground that he and his co-directors recom-
mended the Company to institute legal proceedings to com-
pel them.
Mr. ADAMS recommended some arrangement by which the
traffic to the boats and the passengers over the bridge should
be kept quite distinct—(liter.) The expense of that ar-
rangetnent ought, in his opinion, to be equally paid by the
two companies. He called on such proprietors of the Market
Company as were present to avoid all legal proceedings by
at once recommending their Board to accede to the requests
of this Company.—(Applause.)
The CHAIRMAN then said that he had given the discussion
fair play, and he believed he might say that the unanimous
_wish of the meeting was, that two distinct ways should at
once be made over the bridge.—(Hear, hear.) He then
moved that the report be received and circulated amongst the
proprietors
The motion was seconded, and carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply to an Hon. Proprietor, stated
that the contract for the purChase of the bridge was being
properly carried out by Messrs. Jackson and others. He
then proposed that the dividend recommended, viz., 18s. per
share, by the directors, should be paid to the shareholders.
The motion was seconded and passed.
After some further remarks, with respect to the differences
existing between this and the Market Companies, iu the
course of which
The CHAIRMAN said that the question in dispute was
whether the public at large, as well as the servants of the
Market Company, had a right of access to the pier.
Mr. BEEKNIASTER moved, and an Hon. Proprietor se-
conded, that the best thanks of the meeting be given to the
Chairman for his able conduct in the chair.
The resolut ion was put, unanimously carried, and responded
to by the Chairman, after which the meeting separated.

NORTHERN AND EASTERN RAIL

WAY.

A meeting of the proprietors in this railway was held
yesterday at the Company's offices,- Shoreditch.
Richard Paterson, Esq., occupied the chair.
The SECRETARY read the report, the substance of which
was as follows:

"The directors had to report that the agreement between
this Company and the Eastern Counties' Company, had been
engrossed, and that the common seals of the two Companies
had been affixed thereto. _ _

"The leading feature of tke agreement was, that the share-
holders of the Northern and Eastern Company Should retain
their guarantee of 5 per cent. per annum, after having
received two Eastern Counties York Extension shares of 201.
each for every 50/. of their capital ; or be guaranteed 6 per
cent. per annum interest in perpetuity, to commence from
the Ist of July next, and forego all right to present and
future extension shares; but both to receive a rateable divi-
sion with the Eastern Counties' shareholders of any surplus,
in lieu of their portion of one-third of any divisible fund, as
provided by the agreement of December, 1843.
" The extension of the Northern and Eastern Railway to
Cambridge and Brandon had necessarily produced a consi-
derable increase of traffic, but, owing to the want of engine
power and carrying stock, the Eastern Counties Company
had, up to the present time, been unable to afford all the
facilities necessary for its full development.
" The dividend which the meeting would have to declare
for the half-year ending the 31st of December last, at the
rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the respective shares of the
Company, to lmome payable on the Ist of March, would be
as follows :—viz., 1/. 2s. 6d. per share on the registered
shares (501. paid)—less property-tax ; 12s. 2d. per share on
the registered shares (301. paid)—less property-tax ; 17s. 6d.
per share on the scrip shares (401. paid)—less property-tax.
" RICHARD PATERSON, Chairman.
" Shoreditch, London, Feb. 4, 1846."
The Treasurer's statement showed a balance to the account
of 47,171/ ss. 3d.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the report, said that he did not
think it required any explanation; but he was ready to
answer any question which might be put to him.
Mr. KINNAIRD seconded the adoption of the report.

In answer to several questions from proprietors,
The CHAIRMAN said that the total number of shares in the
Company was 23,108, and out of that number 17,690 had
agreed to take the New Extension Shares. The Eastern
Counties Company had agreed to declare 6 per cent., if the
receipts on the Northern and Eastern should be 132,500 L;
but as they were only 115,500/., they only declared 5 per
cent.

Resolutions confirmatory of the report were then passed,
and, after a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, the
meeting separated.

•
TGTAL AND IMMEDIATE IiEPEAL.--A public meeting
Was held at Doncaster on Wednesday evening, convened by
the mayor, in accordance with a requisition, to consider the
propriety of petitioning Parliament for the total and hu-
nted:ate repeal of all restrictions upon the trade and commerce of
the country. The meeting was held in the Town-hall, and was at-
tended lay several hundreds of persons from the town and neigh-
bourhood, amongst whom were eeyeral tenant farmers from the
villages around. The chair was taken by Mr. Councillor Milner, in
the absence of the mayor, who was prevented fr.oin attending. The
first resol tion was_ proposed by Mr. Basile, " that the meeting
perceived with much satisfaction, that the national struggle fer
industrial freedom was rapidly drawing to a close, and that the
cause of truth would ere long be crowned ith complete suc-
cess," &c. The other resolutions were moved and seconded
ny Mr. Merratt. solicitor ; Mr. Blaglen, of Warmsworth,
tenant farmer ; Mr. Dent Dale, of Balby, also a tenant farmer, and
a Warm advocate of the abolition of the corn-laws; Mr. Richard
Dale ; Mr Councillor Dunn ; William Chadwick, Esq., of Arkley,
large landed proprietor and well-known anti-monopolist ; Mr. Joseph
Clark, tanner, who expressed his conviction that no injury would
accrue either to tanners or minders by the Premier's proposed reduc-
tions in that branch of trade ; and. by other gentlemen of the town.
A series of resolutions having been passed, a petition, embodying the
sentiments expressed in them, was agreed to, praying for an imme-
diate, total, and unconditional repeal of all laws that interfere with
the rights of labour, the abundant supply of food, and the general
prosperity of the nation. The speeches delivered were warm and
energetic, and congratulatory on the fact that the dawnfall of mono-
poly was now nigh at hand ; and it was agreed that the petition
should be signed and sent off on 'Wednesday, for presentation to the
House of C01111.11Q116 by Lord UOTkeill on Thursday flight.
