TN RE ROBERT COLLINS.

The insolvent's petition to be discharged was ap-
posed by Mr. Cooke, on behalf of several creditors.,
It appeared that he had been in possession of a
quantity of valuable property for several years, and
in consequence his creditors were induced to let him
run into debt to a large amount ; but when proceed-
ing?, were taken against him and execution issued, he
turned round and said that all the property was his
father's.

The COMMISSIONER, commenting upon his dis-
honesty, ordered him to be remanded, at the suit of
one or more of his creditors, for eight calendar months,
from the date of his vesting 'order.

DEPARTURE OF MORE TROOPS.
LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY, THURSDAY
EVENlNG.—Yesterday forenoon, about ten o'clock,
the 73d Regiment, under the command of Colonel
Love, arrived at the terminus of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway en route to Leeds. They started
from Woolwich, about eight, in three steam-boats,
and landed at Waterloo Bridge. On passing through
the streets they were followed by a large crowd, who
amused themselves by hooting and hissing at them.
On arriving at the railway they were divided into two
bodies, the train not being sufficient to take the whole
at once, and at half-past ten the first portion started.
In an hour after, another train having been got ready,
the remainder were sent off.

GREENWICH, AUGUST 18.—Yesterday, a detach-
ment of the 6th Regiment of Foot, under the com-
mand of Captain Dennis, consisting of 275 rank and
file, arrived at Deptford Dockyard, on board of the
Eclipse steamer, from Deal via Dover, and were
billetted through the town. This morning they pro-
ceeded t..) the Southampton Railway, at Vauxhall, on
their way to Gosport, for the purpose of relieving the
troops ordered to the manufacturing districts. The
Eclipse proceeded back to Dover immediately after the
debarkation of the troops, to bring up the head-
quarters of the Regiment, consisting of 355 rank and
file, under the command of Colonel Mitchell, which is
expected this evening, and will also proceed to-morrow
by the same conveyance to Gosport.
THE 32D REGIMENT.—On Thursday afternoon the
32d Regiment of Foot, under the command of Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Markham, arrived from Portsmouth,
at the terminus of the London and Birmingham Rail-
way, Euston-square. The right wing of the regi-
ment, which is about 900 strong, left Portsmouth for
Winchester on Tuesday, where it was joined by the
other divisions of the regiment the following day,
when the entire regiment proceeded to town yesterday
by the South-Western Railway. On their arrival at
the Euston station, they were immediately provided
with billets, which had been obtained the previous
day, orders having been forwarded to Mr. Carter, the
Superintendent of the S division, to that effect. The
accommodation for the men was afforded solely by
the licensed victuallers in the parish of St. Pancras.
The distance of some of the billets from the Euston
station was above two miles. The regiment pro-
ceeded by railway yesterday to Bradford.
