Accounts from the 50 iea of Azof and the Black Sea report a continued 200 exportation of cereals on a large scale, and it would 10 greatly increase if a sufficient number of small 1 5 0 boats were provided. From Berdiansk alone the ) 5 shipments had already amounted to 120,000 tchet worts of barley, and 25,000 tchetwerts more were fit. being got ready for exportation. From Kiel we et. learn that an extraordinary decline had taken g place in the price of cereals, as the crops promised 3 t , an abundant yield. . The shareholders of the Riga Railway Company are extremely dissatisfied at the announcement made by the directors in the circular to which we alluded yesterday ; and many of them have refused to pay the call of 41. per share which has just been made. It is quite clear that the shareholders have been misled, as they supposed the guarantee of 4 per cent. would be on the entire capital, and not, as it now appears, only on the amount expended in the construction of the line. What the result of the opposition raised by the shareholders will be remains to be seen, but they have notified their determination in a communication to the secretary that they will not pay any further calls. It is e spected, however, that a meeting will be called, -when the position of the company's affairs will be fully made known. Perhaps the directors can rer cove the doubts which have been expressed an to t he value of the concession and privileges ; but if not, the only course open appears to be the dissol.ution of the company, which many, expect will - ultimately be determined upon. Until a meet ing is called, however, it is impossible to form any definite opinion with regard to the present position 3! or future prosp ec t s o f t h e un d erta ki ng. 10 St The rate s o f cont i nenta l exc h anges were gene- St.. ral'ty lower yesterday, and the decline was not ap pa rent on Paris, Hamburg, and Holland, chiefly 100 pry )duced by the desire evinced by many English 1. ca. pitalists to participate in the new banking insti tu .tions now in course of formation on the Con ti vent. i St. St. 20 1 Public Securities are in a languid state, the set ilement of the account forming almost the only business now transacted.

Exchequer Bills aro 16s. to 17s. prem., and India Bonds 21s. prem. Foreign Stocks are quite neglected, not more than three transactions having been recorded up to 1 o'clock. There were in Turkish 6 per Cents. at 1031 1, and in Spanish Deferred at 24.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) The announcement of the Zouave trumpeters drew an immense attendance last night. M. Jullien has lately been regaling the provinces with a taste of the music of these picturesque foreigners, but until now they have not been heard in London. During the early part of the evening they walked about the grounds, and the gay culours of their costume, as they dotted the promenades, gave an agreeable variety and novelty to the scene. When they appeared in the orchestra, and ranged them ' selves in a row at the back of it, the welcome shot forth from the masses below was immense. The quadrille writ ten for them by M. Jullien describes "roll•call, the reveil, the march, the battle, and the victory"—all of which are invented with a steady perception of the bold and vigor ous effects to he got out of 15 trumpets riding over a large body o f i ns t rumen t a li sts, w h o, notwithstanding their numerical strength, must inevitably be subordinate as regards volume and pungency. The trumpeters did not perform any feats that were individually remarkable, bet the precision of their unison playing, the delicacy of their diminuendo, and the skill with which the remotest echoes were supplied to demonstrative foregrounds, de serve uncommon eulogy. The music is of course con trived solely for this sort of effect, and nothing could possibly surpass the exhilarating brilliancy of the result. The tone of the quadrille is military throughout, as may be supposed ; and M. Jullien has more than equalled himself in delineating the wild impetuosity of a Zouave charge, with which the quadrille terminates. The audi ence hardly knew what to make of the trumpeters at the outset of their performances, but they warmed up as the music proceedeJ, and waxed uproariously enthusias tic as the blasts of " victory" approached. To the quadrille succeeded "God save the Queen," which we think was never given so broadly and so imposingly; and to this was appended the French National Air, at the peremptory desire of everybody. The remainder of the programme was similar in cha racter to what M. Jullien has been in the habit of giving at his Drury-lane and Covent-garden promenade con certs. Quotations from Mendelssohn's symphony in A minor, and Beethoven's Symphony in D, were the prin cipal, or rather the choicest, instrumental performances ; though the overture to " Egmont " should hardly be ex cluded from this category. Quadrilles, valses, polkas, galops, and operatic selections constituted the other mat ter ; besides vocalising by Miss Kate Ranee, Madame Rudersdorff, Signor Ferrari, and Mdlle. Jessy Rolls ; and a violoncello solo by M. Ernest Demunck. London &, N. Want. L. &N. W. Calodon E. Un. & E. C Gt. Nrthn E. Count Caldonisn IN RE W. T.

ROBBERY BY SCAYENGEBS.—This morning, two men, named Joseph Collins and Henry Brewer, were placed at the bar, charged with stealing two iron boilers, the property of Mr. Jacques, iron merchant, Bloomsbury. From the evidence of a gentleman named Snowden it appeared that about ten o'clock last night, the men entered King's•head-yard for the purpose of removing the refuse of the place, which was partly occupied by a butcher, and after they had half filled their cart, he distinctly saw Brewer lift one of the boilers into it and .over it over with rubbish ; he immediately left the window from which he was looking and gave information of the proceedings to the police. The men were taken into custody this morning, but the property had not been found. The foreman to Mr. Jacques said the missing pro perty was safe last Saturday evening. Ile saw the boilers in the yard that day, they were then lying a few yards from the spot where the prisoner's cart was ob served last night. The value of the missing property was about 4/. A. kitchen range had also been lost. In answer to the charge Collins said he knew nothing about the property, all he did last night in the yard was to remove the rubbish. Mr. Henry—But 10 o'clock at night is an unseason , able hour for so doing. Collins—The residents about the place object to its being done earlier on account of the offensive smell of the manure. He had been for the last eight years constantly in and out the yard, and had never before been charged with dishonesty. Mr. Henry—You could remove the manure by day light if you chose. There is nothing to prevent your doing so early in the morning. What have you got to say to the charge, Brewer ? Brewer—l know nothing about the property. Mr. Henry—The witness says he distinctly saw you t one of the boilers into the cart. Brewer—l know nothing about it. Mr. Henry ordered the men to be remanded for a week, in order to afford time to the police to discover She property. MANSION-HOUSE. STEALING A WATCH.—STRANGE CASE. —Peter Th,ea dor Ginesen was charged with stealing a silver gilt watch, chain, 2 sovereigns, and 10s. in silver, the property of a foreigner named Zachari. The prisoner and prosecutor are both foreigners, and were lodging at the Blue Pig, St. Mary-Axe. They slept in the same room, and the night before last the prosecutor lost his watch and money. The evidence against the prisoner was, that this morning he went to a tailor's shop opposite to the Blue Pig to have a button sewn on to his coat. Whilst there he appeared agi tated, and asked to be allowed to go through the sky light on to the roof for a pair of spectacles a friend of his had thrown there. The tailor, however, refused, and on the prisoner being subsequently apprehended, the policeman went on the roof of the tailor's shop and there found the watch and chain wrapped up in Is pocket handkerchief. In the absence of the owner of the property, the pri soner was remanded. GUILDHALL. POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.—EXTRAORDINARY CASE.— Two young men, named Thomasand hillier, were placed at the bar, and charged before Mr. Alderman Challis with the folowing daring and extraordinary robbery. Mr. Peacock, solicitor to the Post-office, appeared for the prosecution, and stated that the prisoners were charged with stealing letters from various branch post offices under peculiar circumstances. During the past two months ten or eleven complaints had been made to the Post-office authorities of several of the receiving offices having been robbed of packets of letters, and the time selected was when the mail bags were being made up for despatch to the General Post-office. The practice has been for persons to watch the making up the bags, and then walk into the shop, seize a packet of letters, rush out of the shop with them, and make off. Mr. Peacock said that there would be vari ous charges preferred against the prisoners, but he should only to-day enter into one of them. Evidence was then produced which proved that on the 21st of July a letter containing a cheque drawn on Messrs. Coutts and Co. for 76/. 17s. 6d. was posted at King-street, Covent-garden, receiving -house, and was placed in a packet of 42 letters, to be despatched to the General Post Office at two o'clock in the afternoon of that day. Just before that time, and as the letter was lying on the table, a person entered the shop, took the letter, and made off. On the subsequent day Thomas, as he was walking along Whitehall-place, met a youth named Frederick Davidson, of York-terrace, Albany-road, Camberwell, with whom he had a slight personal acquaintance and entered into con versation with him, the result of which was that the youth was induced to go to Messrs. Coutts' bank and present the cheque for the prisoner, promising him he would procure him a situation. Thomas told him to get the cheque cashed "short," and to bring the proceeds back to 22, Whitehall-place, to prisoner's master, Mr. Robinson. The youth went to the bank but the check was refused payment, and he returned to Whitehall place but could not find Robinson. After seeking in vain for such a person he accidentally accosted Thain, whom he did not then know was a detective officer, the result of which was that they both made inquiries for Mr. Robin son, and found he had been dead eight years. The pri soner evaded detection until yesterday, when Davidson, who was walking down Ludgate -hill with Thain, saw him accidentally in company with the other prisoner. They were both apprehended. After some further evidence, The prisoners were remanded. SOUTH \VARIC. ROBBEILY BY JUVENILE THIEVE3.—George Warner, a lad about 13 years of age, 'ffl a s brought before Mr. Combe charged with being concerned, with another lad not in custody, in stealing a purse containing 4/. 103. in gold and 6s. in silver from the person of Ann Hensley, under the foitewing daring circumstances. The prosecutrix, the wife of a tradesman residing in Kent-street, said that on the previous night, about ten o'clock, she was standing near her husband's shop look ing at a disturbance that took place between two females, and suddenly she felt a tug at her dress pocket. She immediately got out of the crowd and pnt her hand in her pocket, when she missed her purse containing 41. Mb., which she had safe a few minutes previous. She after wards received information that the prisoner and ano ther lad were behind her, and that the former was seen to withdraw his hand from her pocket, consequently she gave information to the police, and he was taken into custody. At a late hour in the night a girl brought her 3/. 163. Gd., which she said was a portion of the stolen property taken from the other lad. Jane Edwards said she As sent on an errand by her mother about 10 o'clock on the previous night, when she saw a crowd in Kent-street. She stopped a minute or two when she saw the prisoner and another lad be hind Mrs. Hensley. The prisoner put his hand in her pocket and took something out, when they both ran away. She told the prosecutrix what had occurred. Police constable 185 L said he took the prisoner into custody, when he denied having stolen the money, but said that another lad was the thief. Witness understood that the prisoner as soon as he had obtained the - money handed it to another who ran home with it, and his mo ther hearing of the robbery searched him and found 3/. les. Gd. on him, which she immediately sent to the prosecutrix. • C, be committed- , the prisoner for trial; iiLa‘ need the constable to Apprehend tlie other lad as Ma as 1140ible. RAILWAY ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE. On Monday evening last, a little after eight o'clock, a fearful railway accident occurred at a place called How ler Bottom, between Stubbing and E w ood-b r id ge sta tions, on the East Lancashire Railway. From information collected on the spot, it appears that in consequence of the increased traffic on the Bacup branch of the East Lancashire Railway it has become necessary - to lay a double line of rails as far as Rawton stall, and preparations have for some time been in pro gress to accomplish this object. About a week ago a temporary crossing of the line was made in order that the ballast-waggons might remove a quantity of earth, and on Monday evening last the Bacup train, consisting of five carriages, was passing the spot at a rapid rate, when the engine suddenly got off the rails, a cloud of dust and steam completely enveloped all around, and indi cated to persons within sight of the place that a dreadful accident was occurring. The fore wheels of the engine stuck fast, and the bind portion morinted into the air, making a complete summersault, and the entire engine, weighing upwards of 20 tons, was thrown down the em bankment with the wheels uppermost. The carriages became uncoupled from the ergine, but got off the line, and as they kept bumping against the sleepers a tremendous noise was made, which was immediately followed by a deathlike silence. The passengers were completely stunned, and, on some of them recovering, an inspection was immediately made. The engineer, John Fielding, was found in a most deplorable condition under the second carriage, being bruised and scalded, and one arm fractured, He died immediately. Joseph Mason, the stoker, was also found under the second carriage, scalded and bruised, and in a state of insensibility. When visited yesterday afternoon he was still living, but his friends were ex pectinghim to die. - Mr. Enoch Morris, of Longholme, near Rawtenstall, was seriously injured. We understand that during the night he was only known to speak once. Joseph Harrison, the guard of the train, was injured on the thigh, but not seriously. Mr. Richard Ashwor,:a, printer and stationer, Bacup, had several ribs broken, and his face was bruised. Mr. Lawrence Hargreaves, loom-jobber, Carr Mill, near Haslingden, had his thigh broken and his face injured. Mr. Henry Howarth, foreman of a stone quarry, was injured on one band, his chest, and his chin. Other passengers were more or less injured. The first carriage after the engine was smashed com pletely to atoms, and it was almost miraculous how the passengers, about eight in number, could escape so well. The second carriage, the first compartment of which formed the guard's van, was broken to pieces, and it was wonderful how the guard and others occupying that carriage were not killed. The cause of the accident has not yet been ascertained, but will be the subject of inquiry at the coroner's inquc3t. STATE OF TB,ADE. MANCHESTER, Aua. 5. The fine weather and the rapid fall of the corn mar kets have been favourable to business here, experience having shown that the sm plus set at liberty out of work men's wages through cheapness in provisions tells sooner upon the market for cotton goods than most others. Almost all &asses of fabrics for home consumption are in good demand, and, as compared with the prices of last Tuesday, m .nufacturers are asking I,id. per piece advance on printers, Madapollams, and Ehirtings. The market is without excitement, but moderately active, both for home and foreign demand. Lung cloths and T cloths are in request at full prices. Yarns are reported dear, and prices are looking up, sellers giving the quota tions at per lb. above the rates of last Tuesday. The demand for yarns is now pretty general from all marks, home and foreign, and is pretty active. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :—" There is but little change in our market this week. The demand for certain kinds of printing cloths continues on the same extensive scale; but the amount of business is somewhat checked by the hardening of prices. For long cloths, T cloths, Maths pollams, and shirtings we continue to have an active general demand, and a steady business is done in them at full prices." LEEDS, Atm. 5. There was a fair attendance of buyers in the cloth halls this mor❑ing, and they purchased rather freely of light fabrics, and moderately well of other kinds. Prices are firm. The report of this day's Huddersfield market is as fol lows : "The market shows a❑ improvement. The fall in corn has raised the spirits of buyers. Several foreign purchasers are in the market. Business was principally in black doeskins, steels, &c. Mixtures go fairly, but in them there is not so much briskness as last week. Wool firmer." MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. The greater portion of Monday's unsold supply of Eng lish wheat was ou sale hero to-day, but the fresh arrivals were limited.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 6 per mile premium, and the short exchange on London is 25.27 per 1/. sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2.loths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By adiices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13. , g ; standard gold, at the English Mint price, is therefore nearly 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Ham burg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent., which, as com pared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is slightly in favour of Eng land ; and, after making allowance for charges of trans port and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United. States. WHAT THE STANDING ARMY HAS DONE IN FRANCE. —The main strength of the Emperor in all parts of the empire is the brute force under his command—the army. No man can deny this fact, and it speaks volumes against the popularity of the Emperor with the people. He has certainly for many years had the hearts, or at least minds, of the army. My opinion of the French army is not an exalted one, however. In military tactics and bravery it is unsurpassed ; but it has no heart, patriotism, or honesty. It can be easily bribed, as it W a s years ago by Louis Napoleon, and it can never be relied - upon by anybody but an Emperor who has money at his command.- No one believes that the present Em peror has ever been regarded with enthusiasm by the Army. He has done nothing to call forth their enthn :slam or admiration; in . a military point of view ; but they are his blind supporters. It was because he flatter ed them and bribed them that they came to his support, and because he was the only power which, at the time, held out anyoff. t2,,l,V,PweLaul•-..Aitk 4f- thei -. 6flidtaiit eati r ftrel roldiers through the city.

The international congress about to be convoked at Brussels on the 22d and two following days of Septem ber, under the auspices of the Belgian Free Trade Asso ciation, promises to be an occasion of some interest, raising again, as it will do, as a basis for further Cus toms' reforms, alter the interval of nine years, when the last conference was held there, and under more favour able circumstances, the discussion of questions affecting the manufacturing and commercial relations of different countries with each other, and the economic conditions on which the labour of each nation depends. Both in this country and on the continent exertions are being made to give publicity to the project, and practical and scientific men of all countries engaged in trade, com merce, and public employments have been invited to attend. The Chambers of Commerce throughout the united kingdom have been especially solicited to send delegates, it being rightly conceived that they, of all men, will be able to throw light on the subjects to be brought under discussion, and to demonstrate from their own practical knowledge and experience the precise operation—injurious there can be no doubt—of the re strictions still imposed by various countries on the in ternational commerce of the civilised world. The Chambers of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Bradford have already heartily expressed their sympathy with the objects of the meeting by stating their intention to send representatives ; and it is expected that those of Man chester, Liverpool, Bristol, and many other towns will make a similar response. The conduct of the Society of Arts have requested their chairman, Colonel Sykes, who is also, as is well known, the chairman of the Court of Directors of the East India Company • Mr. Thomas Twining, jun., v i ce - pres id ent; and Mr. ' T. Winkworth, to represent them at the conferences. Mr. Cobden is also expected to be present, though up to yesterday be had not signified his assent. It is, how ever, a matter of doubt that be will be able to attend, as it is understood that the loss of his son, which he has felt so poignantly, has of late led him to seek for a time a comparative seclusion from public life. It may be in the recollection of some that a similar congress of political economists, convened by the same association as the forthcoming one, was held for three days in Brussels so far back as September, 1847. At that meeting the general effects of the freedom of com merce, as well as several special questions belonging to it, were examined and discussed, and the result was that resolutions were passed to the effect that, in the opinion of the Congress, freedom of commerce was a want of human society, and would draw nations closely together, which, far from becoming tributary one to the other, would lend each other a mutual support ; that it would extend production, and put industry beyond the reach of violent changes, inevitable with markets con fined by prohibition ; and that it would ameliorate the condition of the labouring classes by demanding less la bour in exchange for more enjoyment, and destroy a constant cause of demoralisation. At the forthcoming Congress the two que,tions to be submitted for consider ation are—first, " What are the artificial or natural ob stacles opposed to the extension of the commercial rela tions of the country to which each member belongs ? " and, second, " What are the practical means proposed, or to be proposed, in each country to remove or diminish the obstacles which impede the extension of commercial relations with other nations ? In answer to the first question each member of the Congress will be requested to state the facts which relate to h'is country at large or to his particular industrial or commercial pursuit ; and the reasons, if any, why customs' or other restrictions should be maintained in countries with which his coun try has commercial relations. Upon the second propo sition each member will be desired to furnish such documents as he can give upon the subject, as well as a resume of his views and opinions upon it. A distinct intimation is given by those charged with the organise of theSongress that it is not speeches that they so much want as accurate and serious statistics or propositions embodying facts, and leading to practical results bene ficial to all, their firm conviction, they say, being that, if the Congress can collect a mass of facts sufficiently evidenced, it will be proved to demonstration that it is not by embarrassing but by encouraging trade be tween nations in every possible and legitimate manner, without favour or privilege to any one, that full develop ment can be given to the productions of labour, and consequently to labour itself. The object of the meeting, in short, is to collect and form an assemblage of facts, ideas, and theories relating to trade as between nations, and to deduce from them practical conclusions for the benefit of each nation in particular and of the human race in general. They add that the Congress will be a corollary to the Exhibitions of 1851 and 1855, and that special circumstances will give it a character of utility and of opportunity it would probably not have at a later period—adverting to the exhibiting of products manu factured for the use of the most numerous classes of so ciety, organised with the aid of the Belgian Government, and to a conference among the influential men of Bel gium for the deliberation of the special subject of public philanthropy to be held on the 15th September.—Times. LONDON LIFE ASSOCIATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—On my return to town this morning my atten tion has been called to a letter inserted in your City Article of Saturday relative to the London Life Associ ation, in which the writer charges thpse who are propos ing to divide a part of the accumulated profits with en deavouring to evade their liabilities. As I had the honour to move the resolution which has been carried at two successive general meetings of the association, you will, I am sure, allow me to correct the error of your correspondent as to the effect of this reso lution, and absolve the majority who voted for it from the charge of repudiation, when I explain to you that the London Life Association, formed upo❑ the avowed principle of mutual insurance, and of applying all profits yearly to the reduction of the annual premiums, has, in consequence of that principle not having been effec tually carried out, become possessed of an accumu lated capital arising from overpayments in the members' premiums chiefly within the last 30 years, to the extent of between 400,0001. and 500,000/. Of this accumu lation the directors proposed to divide 230,0001., but their mode of division was in the way of reduction of the future premiums, so as to give to the younger mem• hers the greater part of it. • The accumulation having been formed by the over. payment in past premiums, it ought on division to be given back on the amount of past premiums paid by each member. This is the object of the resolution your correspondent decries. The equity of it is, however, vo manifest that it is not necessary to say a word in its defence. Your correspondent contends that these accumulations were pledged to the reduction of future premiums. But no such pledge was ever given. I read to the meeting the prospectuses to which your correspondent refers, and they manifestly contained no such pledge ; but, on the contrary, distinctly state that the premium paid by each member for the first seven years furnishes the means of reduction for the remainder of life, the tables being, in fact, so calculated as to afford at least 60 per cent. reduction after the first seven years. This your correspondent and every other member in his circum stances will receive, and every pledge of the company be fully redeemed. But it would be monstrous to assert that the portion of accumulations which are all agreed upon dividing, should be distributed in such a ratio that those who have contributed the least to its formation ould receive the greater part in its distribution. I have the honour to be, sir, Yours very faithfully, ROBERT BAXTER. August 5. (From the Times City Article.) A. variety of letters have been received in answer to the protest of a correspo n d en t p u bli s h e d on S aturday against the resolution adopted by a majority of the shareholders of the London Life Association for a dis tribution of 230,000/. out of their surplus assets, and which is to be settled by ballot ou the 13th inst. The present writers all deny most emphatically that the pro posed distribution would involve a breach of engage ment with any of the policy holders, and contend that, fortified as they are by the opinions of counsel upon a fair statement of the entire case, they may at least be allowed to entertain this view without being accused of a disposition to practise repudiation. The simple ques tion is—Will the fulfilment of the promises held out to new members be in any way jeopardised by the con templated act? This would seem easily to admit of an answer, but the most contradictory statements respectingit are put fo r w ar d, and the prospeet of obtaining a con cise and unprejudiced exposition appears hopeless. Under the circumstances a reference, not necessarily in a hostile spirit, to the Court of . Chancery would d ec id e the point in the manner most satisfactory to all parties, and it would be fair that the expense should be defrayed from the funds of the association. COMES, ISLE OF WIGHT.-Aug. 5. _ . (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA.—The contest this day for Prince Albert's Cup was a most exciting one. The four yachts started at 10 a.m., with a nice breeze from S.E., the Maritana taking the lead ; but in round ing the Nab the Extravaganza was first, the Aurora second. Light and baffling winds, then fresh breezes, alternately impeded and favoured th e yachts. In round ing the vessel off Yarmouth the Aurora had the lead by half a mile, the wind then fresh from the west ward ; but it fell off as the yachts ran up to Cowes, the sternmost vessels holding the breeze the longest. The Extravaganza passed the Aurora as they neared Cowes. They had to beat up against an E.S.E. wind and an ebb tide—the yachts being to appearance but a slight distance apart, each tacking in turn, the Ex travaganza leading, and eventually passing the starting vessel first by five minutes, the Maritana second, the Aurora third, the Caprice fourth. The roadstead is so crowded with yachts that the owners and masters of the passenger steamers have published a handbill cautioning yachtsmen to keep an open channel. It says :—" Masters of yachts and other vessels are hereby requested not to bring np or anchor in the navigation of Cowes harbour, as neither the masters nor the owners of the steam-packets navi gating the same will hold themselves responsible for any damage which may arise by collision or other wise." The Town Regatta is fixed for Monday next ; and as her Majesty, with Prince Albert and th e R oya l . childien,s„azae-te,wfrteess it iiithe Faiiy yacht', - Which is hauled close in to the Parade, in the midst of the exc iti n g scene, thousands attend from all parts of the country ; and it is a questionwhether the Royal pa r ty or the public in general enjoy themselves the most on this =4441 - r • RAILWAYS.

Little Dorrit. No. IX. By Charles Dickens. Very rapidly, indeed, wo are getting to the c aid of " Part I. Poverty." Another number Lifting about to bring us in, all probability, to "Part 11. Riches." For th© present one terminates eigni& cantly enough with "More Fortune Telling"-- o f course by Pancks the Gipsy. The said Bohemian grubber being so elatedat his discoveries that we find him smoking cigarslike a small steam-engine--taking part in "White Sand and Gray Sand," in theSnug geryof the 11 1arshalsea though he adds, in r egar d to his carolling, "I don't know anything ab ou t it. Never mind. I'll take any part in anything. alllt's if you're loud en oug h"— oxc it e d ly the same . sticking his hair up "lik e a d ark species of cocka too"—roug,hening it into so many additional prongs that it flies up all ov er hi s head "like th e myr i a d points that break out in the last change of a great firework"—and finally, after getting fresh ened up under the pump, and snorting himself dry again in his handkerchief, flying in a wild burst of leapfrog over the head of Mr. Rugg, of Pentonville " You are to understand," he says to Arthur Clen nam, at last, in explanation of his boisterous hilarity, " that we are this very day virtually complete. We shan't be legally for a day or two. Call it at the outside a week." Call it, we say as among the breathless readers of Little Dorrit, a month. Then " we" shall i n a ll h uman lik e li hood La admitted by Pancks the Gipsy, Pancks the Tug, Pancks the Grubber, into some at least among the many myteries affecting the good or evil fortunes of the Dorrits of the Marshalsea. Such creatures they are—these Dorrits Little Amy being the only endurable one among them she herself, in truth, being not merely endurable bat very loveable indeed, a pearl picked up by a tender fancy from the kennel of the old, sordid, squalid, cruel, execrable Marshalsea ! Two other chapters besides the one already particularised lend their charms to the August number of Little Dorrit. " The Word of a Gentleman "introducing us again to the Murderer Rigaud under the guise of a tra velling man of fashion named Blandois, introduc ing us to him, and introducing him to Mrs. Cien nam ("Fate in a go-cart") in the grimly, old, ghost-haunted, spectral " House upon Crutches" where Flintwinch of the cut-down aspect shakes at intervals the small remaining sanity of poor Affery under her up-thrown apron. " Spirit" the title of the other chapter—being the strangest disclosure of that commodity by the sister, brother, ana father of Little Amy Dorrit—Fanny, Tip, and the Father of the Mar shalsea. In the development of very much of which " Spirit"—Mrs. Plornish's father (" Old Nandy" in the Workhouse, but " Old Mr. Nandy" in Bleeding Heart-yard), is principally but at the same time quite unconsciously instrumental. Here is Boz's Picture of— THE PAUPER ! " Anybody may pass, any day, in the thronged tho roughfares of the metropolis, some meagre, wrinkled, yel low old man (who might be supposed to have dropped from the stars, if there were any star in the heavens dull enough to be suspected of casting off so feeble a spark), creeping along with a scared air, as though bewildered and a little frightened by the noise and bustle. This old man is always a little old man. If he were ever a big old man, he has shrunk into a little old man ; if he were always a little man, he has dwindled into a less old man. His coat is of a colour, and cut, that never was the mode anywhere, at any period. Clearly, it was not made for him, or for any individual mortal. Some wholesale con tractor measured Fate for five thousand coats of such quality, and Fate has lent this old coat to this old man, as one of a long unfinished line of many old men. It has always large dull metal buttons, similar to no other but tons. This old man wears a hat, a thumbed and napless and yet an obdurate hat, which has never adapted itself to the shape of his poor head. His coarse shirt and his coarse neckcloth have no more individuality than his coat and hat; they have the same character of not being his— of not being anybody's. Yet this old man wears these clothes with a certain unaccustomed air of being dressed and elaborated for the public ways ; as though he passed the greater part of his time i❑ a nightcap and gown. And so, like the country mouse in the second year of a famine, come to see the town-mouse, and timidly threading his way to the town-mouse's lodging through a city of cats, this old man passes in the streets." A picture as wonderfully life-like and grotesquely truo as any ever touched in upon copper by the magical etching-needle of WM. Hogarth ! Some times there is the glimmering of a moist and marshy light in the eyes of the little old man, says Mr. Dickens. " Then," he observes, " the little old man is drunk"—adding, " A very small measure will over set him ; he may be bowled qt . his unsteady legs by a half-pint pot !'' Just for all the world precisely such a little old man as this, " a little, reedy, piping old gentleman, like a worn-out bird," is Mrs. Plornish's father, John Edward. Nandy, sublimely patronised by the Father of the Marshalsea under the name, style, and title of his " Pensioner." After one of the occasional tea drinkings in Mr. Dorrit's room, where the rather of the Marshalsea regales his Pensioner upon ham and shrimps in the win dowsill--wheu the " company" has at length got scattered again, leaving Arthur Clennam and Amy Dorrit alone with poor old Maggy—therecomes the most exquisite half revelation of love between the hero and heroine of the tale—a revelation not to be perfected howbeit, we fear, nevertheless, until the spinning-wheel of one inestimable life is stopped for ever, as in the fairy legend related once upon a time to a " poor thing of ten" about a Sacred Secret and a Curious Princess ! MARSHAL PELISSIER AT MARSEILLES. MARSEILLES, Aug. 2.—Marshal Pelissier, whose return from the Crimea was so long expected, ar rived yesterday, and nothing could be colder than the reception lie met with from the mass of the population. By some extraordinary inadvertence the arrival of the corvette Roland, carrying the Marshal and his suite, was not announced from the telegraph station at Notre Dame de la Garde, and when the steamer arrived in the Old Port there was nobody to receive the Marshal. Tho first per son who presented himself on board the Roland to pay his respects was the captain of the Caradoc, which arrived here on Wednesday evening last, bringing Sir William Codrington. Next came General Roguet, the Emperor's aide-de-camp, who congratulated the Marshal on his arrival in the name of his august master. After a delay of nearly two hours the Marshal landed at the Cauebiere, under a salute from the guns of forts St. Nicholas and St. John.. Having landed, the Marshal stepped into the carriage of M. Lucy, the Receiver-Gene ral, an old and intimate friend, and the proces sion moved forward. First came a detachment of gendarmerie, next the carriage of M. Lucy, in which the Marshal was seated, having opposite to him an aide-de-camp and an English staff officer ; next the Mayor and the Municipal Council, fol lowed by the carriages of the principal merchants ; next the staff of General Rostolan, the Commander of the Department, who is confined to his house by a severe accident. The procession was closed by a squadron of Lancers. The line followed was the Canebiere, the place Royale, the rue Paradis, to the house of M. Lucy, in the rue Sylvabelle, the most frequented streets in Marseilles. During the entire line of march not a cheer was to be hoard, nor was any demonstration of respect visible. There was no crowd, and the few people who stopped gazed in stupid amazement. The Marsel laise, whom I have reproached for their want of enthusiasm and patriotism, excuse themselves by saying that the hour at which the procession took place, half-past 2, was an unfortunate one, being the moment of the siesta after dinner, and that the few people in the streets were half asleep. Tho Marshal was dressed with great simplicity, and wore a kepi on his head, He looks remark ably well, and appears to me to be very little changed since the day I saw him embark for the Crimea. To-day he drove in the Mayor's carriage to Roquevaure, to see the remarkable aqueduct by which the waters of the Durance are conveyed to Marseilles. To-night there is to be a representa tion at the Grand Theatre, to which none a i re to i be admitted except by tickets issued at tl To-morrow he is to attend the inaugu ra tion of a - cascade in the Zoological-gardens and at half-past Bottle- 5, the grand dinner is to take place on the Bul yards, where tables suflicient to accommodate 1,500 soldiers are to be laid. More than 200,000 hectolitres of wheat have ar rived this week at Marseilles ; but as fast as it is landed it is carried to the interior of France. The 41b. loaf sells hero at 20 sous. LOUIS PHILLIPE WHEN Duc D ' ORLEANS.... 44 The Duke met me on my entering the room with 'I wish you a very good night, Mr. Moore he, however, speaks Eng lish perfectly well. There was only their own family party ; and though the thing was at first rather royal and formidable, I soon found myself perfectly at my ease among as unaffected and domestic a circle as ever I wit nessed in my station. The Duko drank -vine with me l'Anglaise, and I was placed next the Duchess, who did all the civilities of the partridges, paVs, &c., be fore her in a very quiet manner. After the dinner, which was over unusually soon, the Duchess - sat down to work, and four or five fine children were admitted, with whom the Duke played most delightedly, making polichinclle caps for them, &c. Mademoiselle showed me a lithographic work lately published, " The Anti quities of Normandy," and the Duke and she at each side of me looked through the whole of the engravings. They then asked me to sing, and I have seldom had a more pleased audience ; indeed the reiteration of ' char. mant," delicieux,' &c., became as last.agoist a• Dew. ,reueinded--me of the songs he had taught me at 'llonniugton Park, Cadet Roussel' and Polichinelle est par tout Bien no, and I played them over, which amused him very much.
