CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed very firmly at extreme prices for all kinds except New Boweds, from Sid. to 6d. per lb., which were rather easier, being freely offered. The sales were from 9,000 to 10,000 bales, 2,000 on speculation, and 500 for expert, comprising in addition to Americans, 1,100 Egyptian, at M. to 9d. ; 2,000 Surat, at 30. to 4id., and 80 Sea Islands, at 10d. to ls. sd. per lb. The Railway Share Market was steady, closing with a firm feeling. In Colonial produce this week there has been an absence of speculation, and the demand for im mediate use has considerably diminished. Scarcely any sugar has been offered publicly, and the quo tations therefore are merely nominal in the ex pectation of a further decline. Coffee also has ruled dull. Full prices have been obtained in some cases, but Native Ceylon is ls. to 2s. lower. The public sales of tea went heavily at previous rates. For rice there has been very little inquiry, but no alteration in prices has occurred. Rum has ruled steady, and saltpetre inactive. Spices have in most cases declined, but mace is an exception, bay ing risen ld. per lb. Arrowroot has remained at last week's rate, and tallow has been rather fluc tuating. _ . The — aspect of the Paris Bourso was very ani mated during the whole of yesterday. Both in the Stock and Share Markets there was much business doing, and all had an upward tendency. At the close the French Rentes showed an advance in the 3 per Cents. of 20c. for the account, and 30c. for money, which raised them above 66 francs, while the 4i per Cent. Stock was elevated 25 centimes, both for money and account. These prices were assisted by the favourable news from the English Stock Market, telegraphed during the day. A rumour was circulated that the Bank of France intended adopting some modification of their measures at the weekly meeting, but this passed over without anything particular taking place. Some important transactions in shares of the Credit Mobilier were entered into, which added a further improvement in that company's stock of 12f. 50c., making a total rise in the week of 45 francs. It is said that this company have concluded a purchase of the line of railway from Saint Rambert to Grenoble. Shares of the Lyons, Mediterranean, Geneva, and Midland have been in demand at an advance. Other shares have not been much noticed. The latest accounts from the Vienna Bourse affirm that the state of affairs there is anything but satisfactory. The public funds continue to decline, and all other stocks display great feebleness. The 5 per Cents. for money fell I, the per Cents. Bank Shares 2 florins, North Austrian Stock 11, Ilational Loan 11, and Austrian Railways lifi. Exchange on London is lowered to 10 58, and on Paris to 130. Accounts from Copenhagen state that the con ference of delegates from the nations interested in the Sound dues took place there on the 20th inst., when all were present excepting the United States delegate, whose presence was excused by the Ame rican Minister on the plea that they had a special treaty with the Danish Government on the subject, Which could not be affected by the result of the confe rence. The average amount of revenue derived from this toll by Denmark, taken from the years 1851, 1 853,iuclusive, was stated to amount to 7,993, 300 fr., which would give a capitalisation of (in round numbers) 160 millions, in proportions as follows : Russia 47, England 46, Prussia 20, France 6, Low Countries si, North America 34, Norway 2 mil lions of francs, &c., while at present England paid slac ut si, Prussia 34, Norway 2 4-sths of the re venue, and Russia only 1,219,800 francs. A meeting of the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada was held yesterday, at which the usual half-yearly report was read. The amount to the credit of the revenue account was 8,4301. 18s. Bd., which included 8,2781. 19s. 7d., the net profits for the half-year, and a dividend'of 7 per cent. per annum was declared. The directors recommended that the reserve fund should be increased to 7,0631. 48. 6d. The prospects of the company were stated to be encouraging, and the report unanimously adopted. The English Stock Market opened with a further upward tendency, Consols being 89i R- for money and account, but owing to the realisation of pro fits they have since declined to 891 for the former and 89k for the latter. For January the prices have been 891 to 90, being now 89a The Un funded Debt is steady at 7s. to 3s. dis , and India bonds are 6s. to 2s. discount. Bank Stcck is flat, viz., 209, and India Stock is quoted 226. The New 3 per Cents. are 88.; to 891, and the Reduced, 88k to The amount of business doing is small, Owing to the necessary arrangements in the Share Market, this being account day. The foreign market has improved for most secu rities, and Turkish 6 per cents. are fully 1 per cent. higher, having been 82/ to 83. New Scrip is 3k discount. Spanish 3 per cents. are firm at 3 91, the New Deferred at 20i, and the Passive at 6 k. Venezulan Bonds are quoted at 26. Dutch 2i per Cents, are 63k to 631, and Cuba 7 per Cents. 99. Peruvian 4 per Cents. are 74k, and French 3 per Cents. 66 francs 75 cents., with the exchange at 25 20. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks : Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6/ to 7 ; Mexican, 19i to 19i 2 • Peruvian, 74 t o 76 ; ditt o Three per Cents., 51 to 53; Portuguese Four per Cents., 41 to 46 ; Russian Five per Cents., 96 to 98 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 86 to 88; Spanish New Deferred, 20,} to 201; ditto Three per Cents., 39i to 391 ; ditto Certificates, 4a to 4a ; ditto Pas sive, 6k to 6'i. Railway Shares are generally at enhanced quo tations, but the dealers are principally occupied with the closing of the account. South Western are about 11., and North Western 15s. higher. Eastern Counties have declined to 8B and 81, owing to the report of the Committee of Investigation being of an unsatisfactory character. Foreign lines are generally at previous rates, but Great Western of Canada have advanced. Mining and Banking Shares rule steady, but Canada Land Shares have again risen about 81.

LAW INTELLIGENCE--;lbis Day.) Sennett left, saying, "You may do your best or do your worst." Other evidence was given in support of the plaintiff's case. RAILWATO. btuALAr Company. C 06121 x trice yester iay. &mum, this day COURT 01? EXCHEQUER. (Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock and a Special Jury.) ALLEGED BREACH OF PROMISE AND SEDUCTION. MELSOME V. WILLIAMS. This was an action for an alleged breach of promise of marriage and seduction, and the declaration stated that the plaintiff and defendant agreed to marry one another, and that the defendant refused to marry the plaintiff, who was always ready and willing to marry him. The defendant pleaded that he never agreed to marry the plaintiff as alleged. Mr. Serjeant Wilkins and Mr. Prideaux appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Rose for the defendant. Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, in stating the case to the jury, said the plaintiff was a dressmaker and milliner, ze siding at Bristol, and the defendant, Mr. William Evans Williams, was a gentleman residing in Wales. Toere was a disparity in the ages of the parties, and in other respects, the defendant being her senior, and far above her in his position of life, which was rather, he thought, an aggravation of the case. The plaintiff was the daughter of respectable parents, and during her residence with her mother the defendant ob truded himself very much on her attention, following her No evidence was offered for the defence. Mr. Locke then addressed the jury in mitigation o damages, after which His lordship summed up, and the jury returned a ver. diet for the plaintiff, damages 501. home to find out her address. She at first repulsed him, but, having discovered her address, he called at her re sidence, and obtained an interview with her, which led to her ruin and destruction after the death of her mother. • The defendant, after that, allowed her a small sum to live on for a short time, but becoming, as was usually the case with selfish men, tired and nauseated with the society of one whom he had at first so ardently sought after, had cast her on the world with the loss of reputation and a blasted character. Under these circumstances be called o❑ the jury to mark their sense'of such conduct by the damages they would award the plaintiff. The first witness called was Mrs. S. Mizsan, wife of a millwright, who deposed that she lived in the house with the plaintiff and her mother in November, 1853. The defendant visited the plaintiff at that time ; witness opened the door t , ) On one occasion she listened at the door of plaintiff's room, and heard the plaintiff tell the defendant she had a young man named Vowles paying his addresses to her. The defendant told her if she wou:d give him up that he woald give her a silk gown, and marry her in three months. Plaintiff replied that she might do so if he acted honourably. The plaintiff's mother shortly after died, and the plaintiff left and went to reside in Jamaica street. In cross•examination witness said it was after the mother's death the defendant visited her. The young man Vowles used to frequently visit the plaintiff. He went in and out when he liked. Mrs. Sarah Whitworth deposed that she resi:led at 3, Jamaica-street. The plaintiff lodged with her in December, and was visited by the defendant six or seven times. On one occasion she listened at the door and heard the defendant press her to consent to be marrird to him. The defendant used to take her to the theat'e, returning home with her between 11 and 12 o'clock, remain some time, and then go to his hotel. She heard a great deal said about the parties she did not like, which she informed the defendant. She had her suspi cions from the first. She gave plaintiff notice to leave her house, believing the plaintiff had yielded to the de fendant's solicitations. A. letter from the solicitor to the plaintiff, named Hare, addressed to the defendant, was put in, but only partly read, and withdrawn. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Serjeant Wilkins having again addressed the jury,r. Chambers summed np the evidence on tile part of the defendant, characterising the case as an absurd one. They were in total ignorance of the condition of the defendant and many circumstances connected with the plaintiffs which ought to have been given in evi dence. The Lord Chief Baron interrupted the learned coun sel, saying there bad not been a particle of evidence given of the condition in life or the age of the defendant. In fact, be had never, in the whole course of his life, known a case brought before a court of justice in so barren a state as this. Whether the defendant was rich or poor, older or younger than the defendant, they knew not. All they did know of them was that they had arrived at the age of puberty, and their sexes. The marriage, if it had taken place, might have been, for anything they knew to the contrary, the most improvident and impru dent thing imaginable, and evidence on this head ought to have been given by the plaMtiff. It did not appear, as he had already stated, who the defendant wag, and it might be that he was a married man incapable of making or fulfilling the promise, and the only evidence they had of the promise was what two persons had overheard. He could not help thinking, when looking at the letter that had been putt n, that this was an attorney's action. Mr. Prideaux said thel etter was not in evidence. It had been withdrawn. The Lord Chief Baron said he had heard suffic;ent of the letter read to induce him to say that he suspected this action had been brought by the attorney. Mr. Prideaux protested against anything being said of a letter that had been withdrawn. The Chief Baron said he had a right to dray that opinion from the letter. Mr. Prideaux—Yes ; but not to state it to the jury. Mr. Chambers then continued his address to the jury, treating this as an action the most disgraceful that had ever been presented to a jury. The Chief . Baron in summing up, said this certainly was a most marvellous action. After referring to the evidence of the witnesses relative to the promise and the present of the silk dress, and the fact of that mysterious individual, Vowles, who had the run of the house, said he certainly should have liked to have heard more about the parties than had been given in evidence. The jury retired to consider their verdict, and after an absence of 20 minutes returned into court, when Tne Foreman :aid the jury were unanimously of opinion there had been a breach of promise, but that there was no evidence that the plaintiff had sustained any pecuniary loss. Was it competent for them to give damages under such circumstances ? The Chief Baron—To give nominal damages. The Foreman—What is meant by nominal damages ? The Chief Baron --A shilling or 40s. If it were the intention of t'ie jury to give the plaintiff costs, he must tell them that from the judgment and experience he had had in these tnattere this action bad nut been brought for the benefit of the plaintiff, but for the attorney to put costs into his pocket. The Foreman—Then your lordship thinks this an attorney's action ? The Chief Baroni—l do. The Foreman said the jury wished to prevent the plaintiff from being annoyed for the future by the at torney. The Chief Baron—There will be no annoyance after this. I believe it is an action, "no cora no Pay-11 1 (Laughter ) The jury again retired. and in a few minutes returned with a verdict f or t h e p l a i nt iff—d amage s one farthing. Mr. Rose asked his lordship to certify under the act to deprive the plaintiff of costs. His lordship conLentel. ,Before Mr. Baron Pollock and a Common Jury.) WEAVER V. SENNETT.—SEDUCTION. This was an action brought by the pl a intiff, a ginger beer dealer, r es id ing near t h e B orou gh-market, to re cover damages for the loss of his daughter in-law's ser vices through the 'misconduct of the defendant, a son of a furrier, by whom his daughter-in-law was employed. Mr. Pearce and Mr. Brook appeased for the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Locke for the defendant. Mr. Pearce, having addressed the jury detailing the facts of the case, called Rebecca Penner, who deposed she was 18 years of age last birthday, and lived with the plaintiff. In February last I was employed at Messrs. Sennett s, who carry on business as furriers. On the evening of the 20th Fe bruary, the defendant ordered me to be at the factory at a quarter to 8 o'clock the following morning (Wednes day), as he wanted me particularly. The defendant was the superintent of the room in which I worked. I went to the factory at the appointed time, and to the machine room, where I worked. I there saw the defendant alone. After i had taken off my bonnet and shawl, he locked the door, came to me and put his hand under my clothes. I resisted him. Ile ultimately succeeded in throwing me down and lifting my clothes over my head, and taok advantage of me. I screamed, but no assistance came to me. The dwelling-house was some distance from the machine-room, and two brick walls intervened. This occurred on Wednesday. On the Tuesday following, feeling unwell, I told my father and mother of what had occurred, and the next morning I applied to Mr. Wood, surgeon, and was under him a fortnight. At his advice I became an outpatient of Guy's Hospital for 11 weeks. On the 30th May I became an in-door patient, and was under Dr. Poland for 15 weeks. I teen a g ain became an out-door patient, an d am so now. I hav e never h a d connection with any other man than the defendant. My sufferings were the result of that connection. I assisted my father as a gitiger-beer-maker, and in attending to have worked fo r M essrs. Sennett about four years. the household duties. Cross-examined usual hour for commenc i ng work j tie was about 8 or a quarter past 8 o'clock. About 4 men and 100 women worked at the factory. I don't know a man named Grogan. I have seen him, he is in court, but I don't know what he is here for. When the women who work in the room came to work that morning I did not tell them what had happened. I continued my work as if nothing had occurred the whole of that day and till the Thursday following ; that was the first time I felt anything, and then I told my parents. I live with my parents at the back of the Borough Market. I n or pawned my s h aw l to procure never applied to the ma g istrates for a butnruons against Gr Zan, the money to p a y for the summons. I h ave not wor k e d at the defendant's factory since the 27th Februrary. When the defendant caught hold of rue he said "he would do it." I struck him. Re-examined —l tried to leave the room, but the de fendant prevented me. The mother of the last witness deposed that, after her daughter was at the hospital, the defendant and his mother called on witness and asked her how her daughter was ? Mrs. Sennett said "it was a bad job, and she would have given all the world if the head-master of the factory had not known it ;" the defendant said "he was aware he had had the disease, but thought he had got rid of it." They both went to the hospital after that, where Mrs. Sennett asked her daughter if she would marry the defendant. She .declined on which Mrs. _ Naval and Military Intelligence.

Wickham, which left Balaklava on the 15th inst., arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday morning. She left Malta on the 9th. Excluding 60 hours of coaling the passage was made in 13 days and 6 hours. The Jura embarked at Kazatch Bay and Balaklava,underc)mmand of Col. Hol loway,lo4S Royal Marines from Kinbourn and Balaklava, many of whom have been employed in the trenches be fore Sebastopol. At Scutari she discharged 122 men into her Majesty's ship Queen, and at Malta 258 men into the London and Rodney. At Plymouth she lands 260 men and six officers —viz., Lieut.-Colonel Carep• bell, Lieut.-Colonel Michell, Lieutenant and Adjutant Elliott, and Lieutenants Turpin, Spratt, and Thomas. The remaining 410 will be landed at Portsmouth,whither she also conveys Colonel Hurdle, C. 8., who joined at Malta. The Jura was only 23 hours and 20 minutes from the anchorage at Balaklava, to the anchorage at Constantinople--the fastest passage known. In going from Constantinople to Balaklava some ten days previous she is said to have beaten the screw steam-ship Hima laya, which Failed one hour and a half before and arrived half an hour after the Jura. The Jura belongs to the Cunard line of steamers: As soon as they can be obtained 200 additional ship wrights and about 150 other artisans and labourers are to be entered in Chatham Dockyard. The floating bat tery that is ordered to be built at that port is to be 14 feet longer than the one that was unfortunately de stroyed by fire at Milwall ; all the material of that ves sel which remains in good condition is to be appropriated in the building of the new battery ; it consists princi pally of the thick iron plates, iron knees, and some of the cabin fittings. The following are to be her principal dimensions : Feet. Inches. Length between perpendiculars lB6 0 Breadth extreme Depth of hold Burden The principal dimensions of the new class of despatch and gun-boats are ordered as follows : Feet. Inche i.

The Royal George, 121, screw three-decker, Captain Codrington, C. 8., is ordered to be stationed at Gilling ham, in the Medway, and the Cressy, 80, Capt. War ren, at Black Stakes. The officers and crews of these ships are to have charge of the gun-boats and mortar vessels as they are being rigged. Some of them are shortly expected at Chatham. The Cmsar, 91, Capt. Robb, was taken into the steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday, to refit for the next Baltic campaign. The Arrogant, 46, Capt. H. Yelverton, C. 8., returned to Spithead yesterday afternoon, to augment the force at that anchorage, to salute the King of Sardinia on his visit to Portsmouth. The Castle Eden convict ship sailed from Spithead yesterday afternoon, for Plymouth. The Sampson, 6, paddle frigat e , Capt. Hand, retura, 1 into Portsmo u th h ar b our on Wednesday evening, after trial of her engines at Spithead, &c. The Volcano steam floating smithery, Second-Master- Commanding J. H. Ryan, R.N., arrived at Spithead from the Baltic on Wednesday. The American merchant-ship Spitfire, of 1,549 tons' register, put into Plymouth Sound on Wednesday, in consequence of strong easterly winds. She left Foo- Chow-Foo for London on the 24th of July, with a cargo consisting of 1,900 tons of tea, contained in 118,000 packages, and valued at about 250,0001. On the 23d of August she anchored in the Straits of Allis, and in consequence of the strength of the current the cha'e was brought under the fore foot and keel, which tore off the copper and strained the ship so that in four hours there were 22 inches of water in her. Undaunted by this leak, and notwithstanding he was short handed, Capt. grey proceeded on his voyage dew,: the coast towards Anjer. The pumps were kept gal'—r. the ship was trimmed by the stern one foot more than the ordinary draught by bringing the cargo aft, and sail was shortened when by the wind so as to keep her upright, and prevent damage to the tea. In this condition she passed the Mauritius, encountered a heavy gale off the Cape of Good dope, and put into St. Helena with the crew sick on the 7th of October. Here the United States' Consul and others considered that the cargo should be discharged and the ship repaired, but the agent for Lloyds, who went on board and examined her, the pumps, and log-book, and questioned the officers, gave the captain written authority to continue the voyage. Additional hands being engaged to make the complement 40—officers and men all told—the Spitfire left the island on 9th October and is now in the Sound, the leak not having increased or decreased since she left the Straits of The steamer Baron von Humboldt, now registered under the new name of the Buffalo, which arrived on Monday evening at Woolwich, from Deptford, to embark stores, has been found defective, and has in consequence been docked for examination. A telegraphic message was yesterday morning despatched to Woolwich, order ing her defects to be made good with all possible baste. The repairs and alterations of the Devestetion are pro gressing rapidly. Yesterday morning her masts were !aid under the shears ready to be fixed on board. A con siderable number of bands are busily engaged on board the steamers Princess Alice and the Taurus. They aro likewise in a very advanced state. Both these vessels have undergone thorough repairs. A court-martial assembled yesterday morning on board her Majo-ty's ship Victory in Portsmouth harbour, for the trial of John Magge, locomotive engine driver, serving as acting assistant engineer of the third class on board her Majesty's steam-sloop Basilisk, on the charge of being drunk and unable to perform his duty on board the said sloop on the evening of the 221 of September last, while the vessel was at sea under steam. The prisoner put in certificates of good character from the houses he had served in ashore. The Court adjudged the charge proved, and sentenced the prisoner only, in consideration of his previous good c►haracter, to be dis missed from his ship, to be severely reprimanded, and not to receive any increase of rank in her Majesty's f er vice for the space of one year. The same Court then proceeded to try Mr. Robert Cumming, acting-assistant engineer of the second class, serving on board the Basi lisk, for having left the said ship on the 28th of August, and not returning until the afternoon of the 29th, he having been previously refused leave by the commanding officer. The charge was declared proved, and the Court adjudged the prisoner to be severely reprimanded, to be reduced to the third class of acting-aseisting engineers in her Majesty's fleet, and not to be promoted therefrom for the space of one year. Captain John Bruce, Ensigns Augustus Frederick Perkins, and Elliot Armstrong, of the 91st Regiment, are under orders to proceed to Deptford to embark for Malta to-morrow. Second Class George Smith King, M.D., being relieved from the charge of the Ordnance Corps in Chatham, will do duty with the Provisional Battalion in the Gatrison Hospital.

THE ARCHBISHOP OF KHERSON AND THE RUSSIAN MILITIA. Archbishop Innocent, of Odessa, whose fanatical address to the Czar Ivo lately published, has just harangued tho militia of Moscow, on their arriv a l at Odessa. The following are the principal pas- sages B e h o ld yourselvelu on the shore of the Bl ac k Sea in face of the enemy After invoking the pr o t ec ti on of God it r emains to prove b y deeds that which u p t il l now has r heart and upon your lips. b" \% n iun your will be worthy of your words, and you will do ten times more than you p romised to do to those w ho sent you bitb er. To wish to excite your val our aga i nst the enemy, w ould be to forget that since your infancy you have bad before your eyes Borodino, Torontino, an d Maloiaros lavetz. Oh ! such men will never flinch before an enemy, whoever he may be. To recall to you the abnegation of the warrior would be to suppose you to think no more of the holy ashes of Moscow, which your fathers with their own hands sacri ficed to the country. Oh ! such men will prefer to die rather than yield the victory to the enemy. It is at the Kremlin that the heart of the country beats ; but have you remembered that in ap p r oaching us, and at the same t i me the frontiers of Russia , yu u draw near t o th e cradle of orthodox faith ?

Miss E. L. Williams, the pupil of Signor Lanza, male her appearance here last evening, in a vocal entertain ment entitled, " The Welsh Girl's Stratagem ;" or "Songs of many Nations," in which this young lady personated several characters, deriving some probability from the dialogue being carried on between her and her master. The programme consisted of Scotch, Irish, and Welsh ballads, as well as compositions of a higher order from the Italian and German. The more simple style of music suited the fair debutante the best, although " Casta Diva " and " Una voce poco fa," if not given with the expression and brilliancy of execution with which we have been accustomed to hear them, were still very praiseworthy displays of more than ordinary talents. Miss Williams has personal advantages, as well as a rich, full-toned voice—fresh in quality, and capable of producing any effect without over -exertion. Her enun ciation is unusually distinct, and she sings with archness and expression. These excellent qualities, together with an indication of dramatic powers, render her a desirable acquisition to either the theatre or the concert room. The mode in which she has been taught is highly creditable to the skill and industry of Signor Lanza, and the applause and encores, which were fre quent throughout the evening, must have been very gratifying to both master and pupil. The room was very well attended. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Nov. 29.—The market is quiet, but in some quarters a litttle more business is reported as doing. There is also a better feeling in the market, but sellers are unable to command better prices. The home trade houses are doing rather more business, and buyers for Germany are making more inquiries after goods in anti cipation of the close of the season. For India very little business has been effected. Two more millowners have given notice of reduction of wages to their workpeople, and the gradual extension of the short-time movement is, no doubt, one cause of the rather firmer tone of the market. NorrrNarram, Nov. 29.—The Americans are operating to a slight extent in the lace trade, and them are good prospects of coming activity. There is not much doing in the genral lace trade, and the fancy branches are also dull. The state of the hosiery trade is, on the whole, satisfactory. Orders to a considerable extent have been received for the United States. Stocks are very low, and there are anticipations of a good trade setting in. There is a reduction in the price of wools. MARKET NEWS.—(lhis Day). CORN EXCHANGE. Several of Monday's unsold samples of English wheat were on offer in to-day's market, but the fresh arrivals were very moderate. For all kinds we experienced a slow sale at Monday's decline in the quotations. The imports of foreign wheat are under 2,0)0 quarters. That article was very dull, yet we have no change to no ticein the currencies. Floating cargoes of grain were mostly held on former ,erms. We had a slow inquiry for barley and malt, at barely stationary prices. Good sound oats were scarce, and quite as dear as on Monday. Inferior qualities were a dull sale.

Although there were very few calves in the market the veal trade i uled heavy, at last week's decline in value. Pigs were dul' in sale, but not cheaper.

Gratefully, affectionately, earnestly we here re. peat what we have already so frequently expressed in these columns—we honour what Charles Dickens has written, we love his very name, we glory in his genius. But not for this. Not for the first number of Little Dorrit, Compare it—this intro ductory instalment of the new serial story from his master-hand, but just published within the last few hours —compare the initial pages of Little Dorrit with the memorable opening chapters of Pickwick, of . Oliscr T w i s t , of Martin Chuzzlewit, of glorious Nicholas Nickleby, of our groat novelist's un doubted masterpiece , his exquisite a n d i n imitable history of David oppeifield ! Compared with these, and judging it (as we have a right to do, so far) by its prefatory number, we conceive " Little Dorrit" to b e capable alone of bein g aptl y described as shall we say it ? Bleak-House and-ditch- water It is a s t h ough Charles Dickens—to our thinking incomparably the most delightful humorist in the whole range of English Literature—sat down to write his new serial story with a painful and even overwhelming conscious ness of his immense powers, of all that is expected from them, of the magnitude of the responsibilities involved in his far-spread and unparalleled popularity. The result being a constraint of the most distressing character—a constraint almost amounting to intellectual paralysis. Insomuch that the greatest living master of fiction, In his own peculiar and unapproachable department, seems scarcely to know exactly what to be at while pen ning these introductory pages of his new story. entitled " Little Dorrit." Had he been as shrewd in taste and as sagacious in judgment as he has often and often shown himself, by our tears and our laughter, to be matchless in humour and inimi table in pathos, he would never have written any single one of the works he has actually produced since he penned those last thrilling words of his exquisite story of "David Copper field." As Prospero broke his wand and buried his book—so he, too, should have thrown his pen aside for ever, rather than use it as he has since then used it, after completing, as we all of us remember he did complete so wondrously well, that noblest of his works as a whole, a masterpiece marking the loftiest point iu the progress of his genius, a point which might be regarded not in correctly as that of its veritable culmination. In stead of which, however, in lieu of reposing thus wisely upon his well-won laurels, Charles Dickens has since then been more and more adventurous— writing almost always, as we have said, under the constraining influence of his great powers, of his vast popularity, and of the immense responsibilities resulting from their combination. Rather than write them thus, he should never, we repeat, have penned another of his extended serial stories after bringing to so fine a close the twentieth instalment of " David Copperfield"—as he should never, for the same reason, have produced another Christmas story after he had given to the world those fiv e staves of his immortal " Carol." We grieve to remember that in neither instance has our glorious Charles Dickens acted thus prudentially. Hine ilhr lachrymce. Hence, too, Bleak Rouse, and Hard Times, and now at last Little Dorrit. " Bleak House" revealing to us his fine genius —as when first tainted with the signs of its decay. " Hard Times"—presenting to us barely anything more of it than its dry bones. "Little Dorrit"— bringing us, as by a lamentable climax, to the contemplation of the cold dust or crumb ling loam into which even those have in turn been resolved. And what is worst of all, judging from these four first chapters of the new serial, " even in his ashes" lives not, alas ! one spark of the " wonted fires" of our great novelist. Chapter one describes Marseilles in the glare of a summer's day at noon—describes it, too, without one touch of Mr. Dickens's hitherto magical powers of description. Chapter two intro duces us to a group of travelling companions just released from the "durance vile" of Quaran tine—men and women almost as vague as those of Mr. Browning, personages sketched in without a jot of Boz's heretofore marvellous skill in the de- lineation of character. Chapter three brings us under his wandarino , guidance to a corner of Lon don as squalid as Tom-all-Alone's, but altogether more dim and indistinguishable. Chapter four makes us acquainted with certain shadowy creatures more mean, repulsive, and detestable than even the mean, repulsive, and detestable family of the Small weeds. No—Charles Dickens will be rememberet (let him rely upon that) for the sake of such crea tions as Tom Pinch, and Sam Weller, and John Browdie, and Betsey Trotwood not for the sake of such beings as Edith Dombey, or Mademoiselle Hor tense, or filmy Mrs. Grads,rind, much less for that of spectral Miss Wade, of horrid old Jeremiah Flintwinch, of his " ghostly, grim, and ancient raven" of a wife, Mistress Affery, of serious Mr. Clennam, and jolly Mr. Meagles, and detestable John Baptist Rigaud, and unaccountable Signor Cavalletto, and oddest of all, as regards both name and nature, that preposterous wench Tattycoram ! Here is about the only passage in the whole of these thirty-two pages making up the fi rs t num b er of " Little Dor r it," about the only passage and one brief enough, alas ! in all conscience, which we feel in any way tempted to give by way of illus trative quotation. It is where mention is made of Monsieur Rigaud'; ghastly aspect when ho emerged from the dark prison into daylight to march away, and be judged on a charge of mur- Bering his wife, once'the - widow of Monsieur Bar ronneau ! Thus, in the spirit of Henri de Balzac, writes Dickens : "There is no sort of whiteness in all fle hues under the sun, at all like the whiteness of Monsieur Rigaud's face as it was then. Neither is there any expression of the human countenance at all like that expression, in every little ;ine of which the frightened heart is seen to beat. Bath are conventionally compared with death ; but the difference is the whole thep gulf between the . . struggle lone, and the fight at its most desperate ex tremity." And so, with this brief extract, close we this first number of " Little Darrit"—(having obtained through it merely a momentary glimpse of its girl heroine)—as we lay its green leaves aside, thinking of both novel awl novelist, with a sense of very poignant sorrow, and of a most bitter and even painful disappointment.
