BANKRUPTCY.

Lord CAMPBELL wished to know when his Noble and
Learned Friend en his left (Lord Brougham) intended to pre-
sent the petition with respect to the London Commissioners
of Bankruptcy ?
Lord BROUGHAM said that he cculd have presented a
petition a week ago, but that he had put it off, in order that
the subject might be fully considered. If the returns satisfied
him that since he had given the notice the Commissioners
had attended more to the businesi, he would not present the
petition. He, however, could net think it right that five of
the Commissioners should be out of town during the summer,
leaving only one Commissioner to transact the whole business.
Their Lordships then adjourned till Thurdday morning, at
Ten o'clock.

ADELPIII.

Mr. Morton is the most indefatigable of farce writers. He
seems recently to have taken a vast liking to infantile heroes :
A short time since he produced Young England, at the Hay-
market ; and last night he produced a farce at the Adelphi,
which he might have called Young Jamaica, but which he
does call Mother and Child are Doing Well. In the Young
England, Buckstone is the victim of the " horrid child." In
Mother and Child are Doing Well, Wright is the unhappy
individual who is called upon to take arms against a sea of
troubles, brought on by having a mysterious infant forced
into his arms. Of the two we think the sorrows
of Wright are the more amusing. His Felix Huffy
is admirable. He is a Cheapside grocer, suddenly
transported to Jamaica, who cannot for the life of him see
why he should not do exactly the same thing,:at exactly the
same times, between the tropics that he did in London ; and
who, having heard a negro speak of the mudder and the
piccaninny, has awful misgivings as to whether he has not
been unwittingly made the depository of a dreadful secret
relating to some mysterious murder perpetrated in Piccadilly.
Then the child is brought and left with him in a m:vsterioiis
way—secrets of divers sorts are half-confided to him by divers
persons of whom he knows nothing—until at last he is
obliged to adopt a series of numbers, such as secret number
one confided by mysterious stranger number one; and even
with the help of the numbers he gets involved in inextrica•
ble confusion. There was a rich and unctuous stolidity about
Wright's personation of this character, which reminded us
strongly of Liston. He has more of the quiet Listonian
humour about him than any actor at present upon the stage.
He was called for at the conclusion, and announced the
piece for repetition in a strange sort of mysterious contiden
i •
tial way, that set the House n a roar. The House was
crammed.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
OPENING OF TIIE STEAM-FRIGATE DOCK.
This splendid dock (the foundation-stone of which was
only laid in July last), was this day opened, and the Oriental
Company's steam-ship Braganza docked, amid the hearty
cheers of the assembled multitude; the Cowes band playing
" Rule Britannia."
The following are the dimensions of the dock :
Feet.
Length from head to gate 257
Breadth 62

Dept of water on the sill at spring tides l6
Ditto at neap tides
Height of blocks 5
The dock is very substantially built with massive stone
piers; it resembles in shape the interior of a ship; the bottom
is a selid masa of timber, resting on a bed of blue clay, at
least 200 feet in depth ; the entrance is completely sheltered,
and so accessible that the Braganza was only one hour and
twenty minutes from her leaving the wet docks at Southamp-
ton, to her being hauled into and squared in the dry dock at
Cowes ! The largest ships may lay afloat off the entrance to
the dock at low water.

RATING.

Lord BEAUMONT wished to put a question to the Noble
Lord opposite, and at the same time to draw attention to
a very important document which had been laid on their
Lordships' table. The question he wished to put was,
whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Govern-
ment to make any alteration this session in the law
of rating. The document to which he wished to direct
attention was the report of the Poor-law Commissioners on
local taxation. In this paper it was stated that the almost
incredible amount of eleven millions sterling, was annually
disposed of by local authorities, and, moreover, that there
were twenty-nine different rates, every one of them raised
on a different system for various and different purposes.
So complicated was the law that it was totally impossible
for them to conform to any general rule or law.—( Hear, hear. )
In the same document it was stated that there were no less
than 250,000 levies, none of which were subject to any law or
regulation, and the property on which they are levied differed in
nearly every case.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE was understood to reply that the
matter would be dealt with in the law of settlement.
The Earl of FITZWILLIAII said the law of settlement was
a very different question to that which had been discussed by
his Noble Friend. There were no less than twenty-four of
these different local Acts, all of them founded on different cir-
cumstances. He thought it would he exceedingly advisable if
the whole of these rates cculd be amalgamated. It caused a
great deal of inconvenience to be obliged to sub-
scribe one shilling and sixpence for this, and one shilling for that,
paying first on the Monday, then on the Tuesday, again on
the Wednesday, and so on. It would be much better if the
whole of these rates were abolished, and one general rate
.established, empowering the authorities to appropriate it to
general purposes. He conceived this would be a great improve-
ment on the present system of levying local taxation. The
subject then dropped.

Sir J. Y. Buller in the chair. The two following lines,
which are promoted by the Eastern Counties Company, were
declared to have complied with the standing orders—the Ely

Huntingdon Branch. In the Hertford and Biggleswade Ex-
tension Line, promoted by the same Company, the Committee
declared that in one particular the standing orders had net been
complied with. In some of the published notices the names of
certain parishes were omitted. The agents alleged it to be
an error of the printer ; but, nevertheless, the Committee had
no power to amend it.

LECTURE ON LUNACY.

On Wednesday evening a lecture was delivered at the
British Coffee House, Cockspur-street, by J. T. Per-
ceval, Esq., on the interest which the members of re-
ligion of ill denominations are bound to take in the
proper treatment and examination of persons alleged to
be of unsound mutat!. The lecture was advertised to b,
in aid of a new society lately instituted, The Lunatics'
and Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society.
The lecturer began by ap
logising for intruding him-
self upon public attention, on a subject of so serious and
affecting a nature, and more particularly on account of
the connexion of the subject with the religion of his
cuuntry, which did not belong
to his sphere, but to
the sphere of the ministers of religion. He had also
felt reluctant on account of the ridicule which he knew
would attach itself in the minds of many at the idea of
connectingi lunacy or madness with religious inter ference
and nstructoni; but he hoped to prove, in the course of
his observations, that this ridicule was erroneous and
reprehensible. He felt himself to be so far far qualified
to speak on the subject, as he had himself been
practically acquainted sith it in all its bearings,
having been unfortunately a fellow-sufferer with
the unhappy persons whose cause he was about to advo-
cate. But it was especially that cause which had prompted
him to come forward. He had been an eye-witness of
the ill-treatment and sufferings they were compelled to
endure, and because he knew these sufferings to be of
at extreme rand real character, that he considered
it to be a duty which he
i owed to his fellow creatures, to
aid with all his powers n the exposure and remedy of I
these abuses. .

The lecturer then alluded to the Society lately insti-
tuted for the protection of the British subject from un-
lust confinement on account of mental derangement, which

The Directors think it desirable to state that they sometime
sines instructed Mr. Stephenson to prepare for Parliament in the
next session a complete system for -supplying railway communi-
cation with the whole of Kent. It is proposed to provide direct lines to
Tunbridge, ➢iaidstone, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, Faversham,
Canterbury, and Dover. The surveys have been for some weeks in
progress, and the whole scheme will be very shortly in a complete

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.
On Tuesday a splendid Silver Cup, value 501., was sailed for
by cutters of the second class (50 and under 75 tons). The
following vessels started at ten o'clock :
Charm, 73 tons, Matthew J. Higgins, Esq., owner; Gaunt-
let, 59 tons, Andrew Fountaine, Esq., owner ; Wave, 54 tons,
Marquis of Blandford, owner; Noran, 70 tons, Sir H. B.
Houghton, Bart., owner.
The Queen's Course, namely, round the Isle of Wight,
passing outside the No-man buoy and Nab Light-vessel; re-
turning between a vessel with a large Union Jack at the mast-
head and Cowes Castle.
The day was a very unfortunate one, there not being a breath
of wind at the time of starting, and but very little during the
day. There is now (six ) a fresh breeze from the west-
ward, the yachts are supposed to be beating ;down the back of
the Wight, and are not expected in much before daylight to-
morrow.
We have a great many fashionables, yet, " Lodgings,"
" This House to Let," meets the eye in every direction.
The Royal Yacht Squadron ball takes place to-morrow
evening.
On Thursday a 50 guinea Cup is to be sailed for by schoo-
ners above 140 tons.
On Saturday, her Majesty's Cup, value 100/., by schooners
under 140 tons.
On Ft idav, the annual dinner.
On Monday ( August IS), a Piece of Plate, value 50 gui-
neas, given by the Royal Yacht Squadron, to be sailed for by
yachts under 30 tons, open to all England (the yachts of the
Royal Yacht Squadron being all over 30 tons, it must be con-
tended for by the yachts of other clubs).
The evening to close with fire-works.
A great deal of sport is expected on this day ; and should it
prove fine, and a favourable breeze, there will be thousands to
witness the sport. It will be the grand day of the season.

SURREY THE A.TRE.

Mr. Charles Mathews and Madame Vestris com-
menced their k ngagement at this theatre on Monday
evc&ng. T.Lie prformances were, Uted Up, The Loan

Mathews and his fascinating wife in better era than they
were on Monday evening. They were most efficiently
supp,rted by the admirable company of the Surrey, and
also by a tro=t crowded and attentive audience, who not
only app lauded enthusiastically, but applauded in the
proper places. Altogether it reminded us forcibly of
the 0k- topic in its palmy days. We doubt rot but that
Mrs. 13:vidge will find this a most profitable engage-
ment.

SOLICITORS.

Mr. Samuel Carter, Birmingham, and 37, Great George•street, West-

minster
Mr. William Meyrick, 2, Furnival's Inn, London

Messrs. Rose and Messrs. Tindal, Aylesbury
Messrs. Hearn and Nelson, and Mr. Henry Smith, Buckingham
The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communication
to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birming-
ham, and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means
of access to the metropolis, and connecting them also with the
Northern and Eastern lines of railway, as well as with Oxford and
the South.
The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham
Railway, near Harrow, and passimg to the ssorth of Uxbridge, will
proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to
Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury ; from which
place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and
approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed
Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury.
In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con-
struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through
Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed,
the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make
a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton.
The proposed Ituckingham and London and Birmingham Railway
Company (for the construction of a line from Wolverton to Bicester)
Is amalgamated with this Company. •
Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert
Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difibulty
of importance presents itself.
The undertaking has already received the sanction and support of
a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of
land through or near whose property it is intended to pass.
It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation,
and under the direction and superintendence of the London and
Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at
four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profits.
It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount
of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London,
Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the
approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception
of such as may be required for parties having local interests.
London, England, 1845-08-13

The Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, observ-
ing that in the, advertisements of the Chelmsford and Bury Railway
Company it is stated that their particular line is supported and sanc-
tioned by the Eastern Counties Railway Company, have to announce
!hat no such support or sanction has been given.
The Company's engineer, Mr. Robert Stephenson, has been
strutted to examine the entire district, and to advise upon the lines
of railway to be constructed through it, which the Eastern Counties
Railway Company may sanction as most conducive to public inte-
rsts. -By order of the Board,

IRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, and
_ll-0 STOUR VALLEY RAILWAY.

The course whichitis proposed that this line of railway shall take
is along or near the banks of the Birmingham Canal to Wolver-
hampton, with a branch to Dudley.
It is rther proposed to carry a line from the above-mentioned
line, near Smethwick, by way of Halesowen, Cradley, Stourbridge,
Itn.l Kidderminster, down the whole length of the Valley of the Stour,
to its junction with the Severn.

..These lines of railway will afford to the vast population, and
varied produce and manufactures of the districts thronah which they
will pass, the cheapest and shortest communication with the ports of
London, Hull, and Liverpool, as well as with the lafge and important
districts occupied by the Midland Railways and the North of
England.

The line from Birmingham to Wolverhampton will form a portion
of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway, with the existing Com-
pany for the formation of which satisfactory arrangements have
been made.

The object of the parties proposing this scheme of railways is to
present to the most important manufacturing interest of Smith Staf-
fordshire and Worcestershire the greatest facility for the conveyance
of their goods to and along the various trunk railways of the king-
dom at the least possible cost, and no effort will be spared to secure
so desirable a result.

The B!rrrfngham Canal Company and the London and Birmingham
and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Companies have con-
curred to furnish the means of effecting this undertaking and the
Stourbridge, Dudley, and Birmingham Railway Company, with their
strong local influence, have united their interests to those of this
Company.
Apprcation will be made to Parliament in the next session for an
Act to effect the above purposes.
Information may be obtained by applying at the office of the Canal
Company in Birmingham, or to

Messrs. INOLEBY, WRAGGE, and COPE, Solicitors,
and 7tßirmingham.
