CITY, Tw..3 Notliiug was done in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, which was observed a a' close: holiday in all departments of business. As there have been no public sales of foreign. and colonial produce during the last two days, the Mincing-lane markets this week have necessarily been dull. Prices have been firmly supported, however, for most staples, and sugar has ruled rather dearer. At the wool sales there has been- less firmness ; but no material decline in the quo tations has occurre d. The Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada this day held their meeting and the proposed dividend of 74 p:sr cent, per annum, out of the balance standing to the credit of revenue, viz., 9,710% 19s. ld., was agreed to. The'reserve fund formed a separate figure of 9,8171. 19s. 11d. A resolution was passed adopting the report. The reduction made by the Directors of the Rink of England, yesterday, in the minimum rate of discOunt, has been freely commented upon in City circles, and although most par were unprepared for such a speedy and imp:irtant change, there is a general feel ing of satisfaction that the monetary condition of the country has sufficiently improved to justify the alteration. Many blame the authorities in Threadneedle-street for adopting the 'measure re ferred to on a partial holiday, such as yesterday undoubtedly was, but when it is remembered that, owing to the reduced value of money "out of doors," the Bank of. England for some days past has transacted scarcely any loan or discount business, no surprise can be felt at the course adopted. The effect of the measure on all branches of trade will be highly favourable, and an important stimulus will be given to the general prosperity of the coun try. The rate of money on call is reduced from 5 to 4 per cent. The Central American question continues to de press the value of the English funds, but no fur ther decline has occurred. Consols for money have been 944 and 941 4, for account 94i and for July 90 The New Scrip is 21 # premium. The New Turees have been marked 94 to 94g, and the Reduced 931 1.

Upon ripping it up to clean it, to her astonishment she found a couple of woman's gold earrings in its inside. The fish was caught off the Northumberland coa-t tbat morning, but where it bad picked up those relics of hu manity—whether the body of their owner had drifted out to sea from one of the rivers upon the coast, or had peri. , bed with some foundered ship in one of those fearful gales that so often prevail in the North Sea, must ever remain a mystery. SAGACITY OF A DOG.—Early on Sunday morning thieves attempted to enter the premises of Messrs Nr- Leod and Pollock, jewel lers, Argyll-street, by breaking through the skylight window. The budding is one story in height, aid it is a comparatively easy mat ter to ascend to the roof. Abou 2 o'clock who resides in the back premises, was awakened from his sleep by his watchdog. The animal did not bark, but jumped Kett) the bed and continued to scrape on Mr. Nl`Lead's body till he ruse up. The do t ; then uttered a low growl, and looked towarda the roof, as it anxious to draw his maFrer's attention to that particular direction. Immediately afterwards a portion of a pane of glass fell on the floor ; and, on Mr. M.‘Leod looking towards the ceiling he observed a man on the root. The police being acquainted with the circum stances, thsy caught, a labourer named Wm. M‘Naught on the r , of, before he was able to conceal himself.

NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Ramjet Grahams, 30, married, was indicted for at tempting to discharge a loaded pistol at John Munroe Graham, with intent to do him some bodily harm. Mr. Parry prosecuted and Mr. Sleigh defended. It appeared that the prosecutor is an actor at the Princess's Theatre, and the prisoner, who ib an actress, had lived with prosecuter as his wife, but were separated in consequence of her bad temper. Upon the 2d of May, as prosecutor and Mr. Brazier were leaving the theatre, prisoner came up and snapped a pistol at prosecutor's head. She was seiz,d, and the pistol, which was loaded, and fortunately did not go off, was found at her feet. The jury found her guilty, but recommended her to mercy, in which the prosecutor joined. The Court ail they w •uld defer passing sentence. MA2KET .NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to•lay was very moderate; but several of Monday's unsold samples were on offer. For all kinds we had a slow sale ; nevertheless, prices were supported. The condition of the supply was tolerably good. The imports of foreign wheat are only 3.160 quarters. The business doing in thtt grain was limited; but no change took place in the quotations. Barley changed hands slowly ; but no decline took place i❑ its value. The malt trade was dull, on former terms. The show of oats was I all kiwis add readily —fine samples being rather dearer than on Monday. Beans and peas were very tirm ; but the flour trade was in a sluggish state. ARRITALis THIS WHIM. Wheat.

Mr. Heywood, M.P., Mr. Brotherton, M.P., Mr. J. B. Smith, M.P., the Dean of Hereford, the Haytian Minister, and Mr. Francis Poleky were among the more distinguished visitors. The principle of decimal and international coinage, and weights and measures, together with the complications of the present syetent, were admirably iluetrated, the ,French system appearing to great advantage as contrasted with our own. Specimens of the current cline of alinest every country were submitted for inspection, and, after several hours' cnnversation, the company separated. TEE WINS DUTIES.—In consequence of the length of the debate on Tuesday evening on Mr. Miall's motion, Mr. Oliveira was obliged to postpone his motion fir a reduction of the wine duties till the first open day, 24th June. The hon. gentleman has aided materially to his committee both in and out of Parliament ; and he bad for presentation several petitions, amongst them one signed by 7,000 persons in the Staffordshire Potteries, where this international question has been taken up with much energy. Mr. Oliveira's proposition for a re dnci.m is understood to be prospective and gradual in its operation, so as to comlAne the adranteges of allow ing the duty:paid stock to have Vie command of th e market, before any great reduct ion takes place, and to permit of increased produce to meet the demand that may take place under a lower dety. We feel assu r ed that a question involving such important interest-, and to which the hen. member for Pontefract has devoted so much study, will be fairly diecuteed whenever it is brought before the house. BOON TO JAMAICA AND DEMERARA. "TIE COLONIAL FIBRE COMPAA Y. " TO THE EDITOR 01 411111 SVI. Sin,--I beg to point out the strange statements con cerning the above Company which have been made by the Times and the Morning Herald, and by the Com pany's advertisement, and to make some observations thereon ; as well as upon the hardship of the position in which the West India Colonies (including the Wind ward and Leeward Islands and Trinidad) are placed that are excluded by the charter, and, as it seems, by the operations of the Company, from the opportunity of deriving benefits similar to those proposed to be con ferred on Jamaica and Demerara. By Demerara, as commonly used by the colonists and by persona In Eng lat.d, I mean the whole of British Guiana. The Times of the 14th inst., in its article on the money market, although it does not disguise that the Company confines itself to Jamaica and Demerara, talks about "a hope that the project will give an impulse to a revival of prosperity in the West Indies." How the Company is to benefit the islands at a distance from Jamaica and Deme rare—and with which Islands it is not to have any deal icgs—l cannot devise I If such a hope had been held out in reference to Jamaica and DeMerara this would have been in perfect keeping. The Morning Herald of the same day, in its City Article, remarks, "That the objects of the company are considered of vast importance to the West India Colonies is evidenced by the ready adhesion of the Governors of Jamaica and British Guiana and Lord Howard de Wal den ; and that if," &c.., it needs not to be demonstrated that the benefit to the mother country will not be less in degree than to her ill-used and most unjustly treated de pendencies." All this might have been very true had the Company included the whole of the East Indies. Neither the Times nor the Herald can perceive any injustice or hardship arising from this Company to th. West India Colonies, excluded from its benefits to be be stowed solelyon Jamaica and Demerara. These two posses. sions of the Crown are treated by these journals as compos ing the West Indies. Previously to the year 1854, whilst residing in the West Indies, I have on many occasions oonversed with the planters and other persons interested in their prosperity as to the prospect which was then held out to them of the plantain and their other fibres coming into usa in this country for the manufacture of cordage, ho., and throughout these islands the colonists I have for several years past been looking forward to the • happy day of its realisation. What, however, I will ask, is the good of this company to any part of the West Indies except Jamaica and Demerara ? If the benefi - , is to stop here the rest of these possessions will not only be greatly disappointed, but wilt complain of the partiality exhibited in the selection of those two places. I must not omit to call attention to the company's title and the advertisement before alluded to. The forintr ought to be "Tile Jamaica and British Guiana Fibre Company," and then no one would be misied. The text of the lattsr does not state that the c o mp aus applie;, only to Jamaica and Demerara, but is calculated t., lead the public to suppose that it is a General Company, embracing those of our possessions where the fibres required are produced.—l remain, &c., FRANCIS JACKSON.

THE PEACE REJOICINGS.—LIVERPOoL, MAT 28. — All returned soldiers from the Crimea, in this town, will be treated by the Mayor (Mr. John Stewart) to a hot dinner of roast beef and plum-puddmg,a pint of ale, and a shilling each. WEOLESALS POISONING BY STRYCHNINE.—A wealthy young farmer in a parish near Crediton having, in com mon with many of his neighbours, suffered much from the ravages of rooks (which have a peculiar relish for wheat just sown as well as for grubs), purchased a large quantity of strychnine about five or six weeks since, which having dissolved, he steeped several bushels of late spring wheat in the liquid, and then sowed it in one of his fields, which in a few days may be said to have been perfectly blackened with the dead bodies of the poor "caw caws," several bushels of them having been collected. REYOUITIONISTS IN FRANCE. The revolutionary movement in France has two great centres, which are perfectly distinct and independent of each other. They are sometimes opposed, but often act in junction, ac- , *circling to circumstances. The one has always had its principal seat in Paris, where 'projects and systems are devised ; the head-quarters of the other are at Lyons, where the mass of the people is more easily and more surely acted upon. In fact, Paris is, in the revolutionary scheme, the head that plans—Lyons the arm that is ex pected to execute. In the associations of Lyons may be found men of nearly all political colour—red, white, blue, and black ; and, so far from being exclusive on account of different shades of opinion, they seek, on the contrary, to draw within their sphere all the elements of discontent that are to be found in the surrounding pro vinces.— Tim dd Correspondent. A WIFE-POISONER PUNISHID.—A Dutch journal contains the following singular account of the escape of a woman of Zevenhuisen from being poisonel by her husband, and of the prompt chastieement of the latter. A man whose name is not given, availed himself of the opportunity of his wife's quitting the dining table for some domestic purpose, and rapidly mixed poison in the plate of soup which she bad com menced eating. At the moment the wife returned and reseated herself, the husband rose and quitted the apart ment under pretext of having forgotten something ne cessary. The wife, upon this, was about to recommence eating, but, on so doing, she discovered a spider on her plate, and having great repugnance to these insects, she changed her plate for that of her husband, who returned immediately after, sat himself down, and seeing that his wife had nearly finished her portion, ate from the plate before him. In the course of a few hours he be gan to feel the effects of the poison, and, although medi cal aid was instantly called in, died, confessing that he was justly punished for his own intended crime. nix Scoyoir LAW OP MARRIACIP.-0( 1 Friday a mar riage was performed here before a justice of tie pe ace. A complaint was brought at the instance of the justice of peace fiscal, that a seaman and a girl residing An Ropework-street had.been living as man and wit, with out being lawfully married, and had thus committed a clandestine marriage, an offence proper to be brought before the Court , and paying for a fine t o b e i mpo s e d. The parties having appeared and admitted the facts, the sitting justice fined these in 2,, 6:i. and casts, 2/. 100. The tine is to be paid to the poor of the mid- parish of Greenock, within which the Sheriff Clerk's offiee, where the case was tried, is supposed to be. The proceedings described have the effect of constituting a legsl mar riage, and were adopted because the seaman was to pro oeed to sea on that day. —area - sock A dvertiser. • lONIAN BANE._yesterday the annual meeting of the proprietors of this hank was he'd at their offices, 6, Win chester-street, Old Broad-street ; Mr. J. Ranking in the chair. The Secretary having read the notice convening the meeting, Mr, Oliver Farrar, remarking on the pau city of the attendance of proprietors, explained that the day of the meeting had, in terms Of the charter, been fixed on before it became known on what day the peace rejoicings were to take place. It was, he thought, owing to both having fallen on the same day that so few were present; and as they had important business to transact he would move that the meeting be adjourned to the 12th of June. Sir A. Green seconded the resolu tion, which was unanimously agreed to. The meeting then separated. LITERATURE. Little Dorrit. No. VI. By Charles Dick.ens. It is considered about the loftiest manifestation of genius "to create a soul under the ribs of Death." Charles Dickens is doing more than this by means of Little Dorrit, in the instance of the old debtor's prison of the Marshalsea. That melan• choly abode of the insolvent has long years ago been swept out of existence. The mere skeleton of it no longer survives, as in the instance of " The Fleet," in Farringdon-street--still a vacant site, like the empty socket of an eye gouged out of the forehead of some great brick and mortar Polyphemus. The Marshalsea, both as a struts altogether dia. ture and as an institution, appeared. It has disappeared from London as entirely as the Bastile from Paris or the Tolloooth from Edinburgh. One can scarcely say now with any degree of certainty whereabouts it really stood in the old times, when heads were left to rot above Temple-bar, and debtors in the holes and ;:coniers of the Fleet aforesaid, and of this miserable, vanished Marshalsea. To borrow an apposite illustration from Mr. Dickens himself, elsewhere than in Little Dorrit, we may compare our bewilderment, on endeavouring to point out the place where the Marshalsea Prison really stood, with that of Kit Nubbles in the " Old Curiosity Shop," when he tried to puzzle out the locality of the house of " good Miss Nell" for the instruction, upon that interesting paint, of his growing family of little children. "He sometimes took them to the street where she had lived," says the veracious chronicler of that most exquisite of stories ; " but new improvements had altered it so much it was not like the same. The old house had been long :tgo pulled down, and a fine broad road was in its place. At first he would draw with his stick a square upon the ground to show them where it used to stand. But he soon became uncertain of the spot, and would only say it was thereabouts, .he thought, and that these changes were confusing." Ind so with the old debtors' prison "on the left hand side of the way going southward, a few doors short of the Church of St. George in the borough of Southwark." It has vanished long ago—its very :Imes and dust (the crumbling walls and rafters), carted away somewhere with other rubbish, after which we should like to send a vast deal more still disfiguring the highways and byeways of our metropolis. Yet, gone in fact, it is revived in fic tion—this melancholy old Marshalsea. It rises up again, exhalation - like, after the manner of Pandemonium—in the magical pages of Little Dorrit, our great novelist peopling the old place tnew with all but living and breathing creations, with a throng of original and wonderfully real eharacters. Amy, the Child of the Marshalsea, in ',tiler words, dear Little Dorrit herself I William Dorrit, her father, and metaphorically also the rather of the Marshalsea I Frederick, her uncle, ,Tith his screw of snuff and his dirty old clarionet rip, her brother, in his green Newmarket coat,. swaggering in the skittle-ground ! Fanny, her iister, opera dancing with such a very high sense of family dignity ! Chivery, the turnkey, and all k.he rest of the motley population ! It is wonderful, the vividness with which the place and the people are conjured up by the wizard pen of the romancist. But how marvellously he describes everything he puts his hand to—this Hogarth among novelists. The stage door of the Surrey-side Theatre, for ex ample—" a furtilre sort of door, with a curious up q) I-night air about it, that appeared to be ashamed ,f itself and to be hiding in an alley I" Or the impse behind the scenes, again, with "such a con , losion of unaccountable shapes of beams, bulk ' )eads, brick-walls, ropes, and rollers, and such a ;nixing of gaslight and daylight, that one seemed io have got on the wrong side of the pattern f the universe I" Instance, too, in another way I,lle peep at the contents of the dirty little eating iiouse shop-window, with "a stuffed fillet of veal is rapid cut, a ham iu a perspiration with the pace was going at, a shallow tank of baked potatoes glued together by their own richness, an unctuous niece of beef, and blisterous Yorkshire pudding," to crown all, "a roast leg of pork bursting i n . to tears of sage and onion !" What picture that is, moreover, in a different way, of the Parrot who " as he tore at a clawfull of biscuit and spat it out, seemed to mock the bystanders with a pompous lance of his body without moving his feet, And suddenly turned himself up side down and railed himself all over the .outside of his golden zap with the aid of his cruel beak and his l ac k tong ue." What can be finer in its way Aideed than the whole description of the contents ,f Mr. Merdle's house, (including the parrot) '-ith the account of the powdered footmen waiting upon the grand dinner party. "Powder!" xclamis our author, "There was so much powder t i waiting, that it flavoure 1 the dinner. Pulver ous particles got into the dishes, awl Society's meats ;tad a seasoning of first-rate footmen." One of the ..:uests—" a countess secluded somewhere in the (.;ore of au immense dress, to which she was in the proportion of the heart to au "overgrown cabb age " —is spoken of figuratively as The Dress---" the dress went down the staircase like a richly-brocaded Jack.in-the-Green, and nobody knew what s or t o f small person carried i t !" The hostess, Mrs. Iferdle, in a similar mood, is spoken of a ft er th e tame fashion figuratively (from her ample jewel covered bosom, with no heart in it, to speak of) as —The Bosom ! But the grandest feature of the whole description of this fashionable interior is the Chief Butler. About whom we read that, after The Bosom—" The Chief Butler was the most magni. geent institution of the day. He was the stateliest man in company. He did nothing, but he looked on as few other men could have done. He was Mr. Merdle's last gift to Society. Mr. Merdle didn't want him, and was put out of countenance when the great creature looked at him ; but ivappeasable Society would have him—and had got him !" The Bar, again, one of the male guests of the night is admirable, with his "jury droop and persuasive ve-glass !" But Sparkler, Mr. Merdle's step-son (called several times by Mr. Dickens, through an odd mistake of phrases, his, Mr. Merdle's, in other words, in fact, Society's " son-in -law")—hare is ; Sr.LuaLsß. " Tie was of a chuckle-headed high-shouldered make, with a general appearance of being, not so much a young man as a swel!ed boy. He had given so few signs of reason, that a byeword went among his companions tLat his brain had been frozen up in a mighty frost which prevailed at St. John's, New Brunswick, at the period of his birth there, and had never thawed from that hour. Another byeword represented him as having in his infancy, through the negligence of a nurse, fallen out of a high window on his bead, which had been heard by responsible witnesses to crack. It is probab!e that both of these representations were of ex post facto origin ; the young gentleman (whose ex pressive name was Sparkler) being monomaniacal in of fering marriage to all manner of undesirable young ladies, remarking of every successive young lady t o w h om he tendered a matrimonial proposal that she was 'a (loosed fine gal—well educated too—with no biggodd non sense about her." Here, too, no less figuratively described than The Dress and The Bosom, arO— MR. MERDLN'S GU Q's. " Everybody knows how like the street, the two dinner-rows of people who take their stand by the street will be. The expressionless uniform twenty houses, all to be knocked at and rung at in the same form, a ll ap proachable by the same dull steps, all fended of by the same pattern of railing, all with the same impracticable fire-escapee, the same inconvenient fixtures in their heads, and everything without exception to be taken at a high valuation—who has not dined with these 'I The house so dreaiily out of repair, the occasional bow. window, the stuccoed house, the newly-fronted house, the corner house with nothing but angular rooms, the house with the blinds always down, the house with the imtchmeat a l wa ys up, the house where the collector has called for one quarter of an Idea, and found nobody at home--who has not dined with these l The house that nobody will take, and is to be had a bargain—who does not know her ? The showy house that was taken for life by the disappointed gentleman, and which doesn't suit him at all—who is unacquainted with that haunted habitation ?" As a contrast to all which fashionable nothings, what a description that is of the poor Clariouet Player, Frederick Dorrit, drawn in his poor den the orchestra, where, although " mugged at" by the low comedian in his richest way fifty times for a wager, he shows no trace of consciousness 1 Poor Uncle Frederick, about whom, the stage carpenters had a joke to the eff ec t th a t he was dead without his being aware of it"—and. who is supposed by the . frequenters o f th e pit " to, pass his whole life, niht and day an d S un d a y a nd all, in the orchestra 1 " Something should be said before closing our notice of this last number of Little Dorrit about Little Dorrit's lover, John. Chivery, who is discovered pining among the damp linen.hung out to dry in the backyard, as though it (the linen) "was groves.!" And about the cir cumstantial account of his ill-starred wooings.given one afternoon to A r th u iClennam by Mrs. Ch ivery, John's mother, whose peculiar power of construo tion in her s e nt en ces—together with i ts circum santiality and repetition have upon her bearer's mind we are told "an effect in the nature of an affidavit !" The sixth number closes and with it the twenty-second chapter, leaving Arthur puzzled as to whether Little Dorrit really is after all in love, and if so—with who m ? " Th ere b y h angs a tale "—or rather upon it depends the interest of the whole story of Little Dorrit.
