,~ `ONE Y LIATIKET A 14TD COIYIPSEACIAt INTELLIGENOZ. ; BRAKE MARKET& ' l 7 B. 1S D A Y.) RAILw YS. CITY, Two o'CLooK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with a steady feeling, without any change in prices. t The sales amounted to 9,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken for export and 2,000 on speculation. j i The Railway Share M ar k e t man if es t e d a d u ll ap- j pearance, and the transactions in the leading stocks were limited, but prices were a shade higher than on Monday. The advices from St. Petersburg state that the preparations for th e coronat i on o f t h e Emperor I 4 1.": were absorbing a l mos t exc l us i ve attent i on among all classes of the community. Accounts from the 5 Sea of Azof ;and the Black Sea report a continued 18 exportation of cereals on a large scale, and it would 10 greatly increase if a sufficient number of small lg i boats w ere prov id e d . F rom B er di ansk alone the s shipments had already amounted to 120,000 tchet- S. averts of barl e y, an d 25,000 t c h e t werts more were ssbj being got rez,ely for exportation. Fro m Ki e l we at. learn that a n extraordinary decline had taken 35 place in the j p r i ce o f cerea l s, as t h e crops promised it 25 . an abundant yield. 3' 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 calil of 41. per share which has just been made. It is , quito clear that the shareholders have been misled, ;.is they supposed the guarantee of 4 t per cent. would ,be on the entire capital, and not, as it now app ears, only on the amount expended at in the constraction of the line. What the result 12 of the opposition raised by the shareholders will -, 0 be remains •to be seen, but they have notified 16! their determination in a communication to the 6 [6 2 secretary that they will not pay any further calls. 1 3 It is expected, however, that a meeting will be 1 23 3 3 . i called, when the position of the comp any ' s affairs st. will be fully i nade known. Perhaps the directors ,'S .n t. can remove the d ou bt s w hi c h h ave b een expressed 176 as to the vain aof the concession and privileges ; IN but if not, th e only course open appears to be the 1.0 9t * dissolution o f the company, whi c h many expect will ultimately be determined upon. Until a meet- F ing is called, 'however, it is impossible to form any 7 definite opinion with regard to the present position V2a, or future prospects of the undertaking. 10 The rates of conti nen t a l exchanges were gene- 3t. st. rally lower yesterday, and the decline was not Pp- V parent on P ar i s , H am b urg, and Holland, chiefly 150 . produced by the desire evinced by many English r capitalists to participate in the new banking insti- 3 8 tutions now in c ourse o f formation on the Con- 1 tinent. Public Securities are in a languid state, the set tlement of the account forming almost the only business Low transacted. The rate of contango is per cent. Consols have been 95A g for money and the 7th instant, 957 to 96 for the September account. The New 3 per Cents. are 96i. g, and the Reduced 954 to 96. Exchequer Bills are 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 I, and in Spanish Deferred at 24g. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :_..Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7 ; Mexi °an, 23 k; Peruvian, 81 2; ditto 3 per Cents., 57 8 ; Portuguese 4 por Cents., 49 51 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 111 113 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 98 100 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 45 1 ; ditto Deferred, 24i ; ditto Certificates, 6 ; ditto Passive, 6i 7. Railway Shares have generally improved A to per cent., and the transactions have been rather more numerous. The lines most in favour are Great Northern, Manchester, Sheffield and Lin colnshire, Midland, and North-Western. The Foreign are generally dull, and Rigas have drop ped to 1/ premium. A few weeks since they stood at 5i premium. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are firm. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES. (Non Ott Oficial List.)

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 colours 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 revel!, 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 bodyot instrumentalists, who, notwithstanding their numerical strength, must inevitably be subordinate as regards volume and pungency. The trumpeters did not perform any feats that were individually remarkable, 'wit 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 s a►nd 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 wake of the trumpeters at the outset of their performances, but they warmed up as the music proceeded, 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 iu 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. Quadrille', valses, polkas, galops, and operatic selections constituted the other mat ter ; besides vocalisms by Miss Kate Ranoe, Madame Rudersdorff, Signor Ferrari, and Mdlle. Jessy Rolls ; and a violoncello solo by M. Ernest Demunck. 50 a, 75 al 1. 1 2 al St k 25 t POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) U 0 al 12 11 50 al BOW STREET. ROBENRY BY SCAVENGEIIB.-Thii 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 cover it over with rubbish ; he immediately left the window from which ho was looking and gave information of the proceedit , gs, to the police. The men were taken into custody this morning, but the property had not been found. a sk The foreman to Mr. Jacques said the missing pro perty was safe last Saturday evening. He 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 41. A kitchen racge had also been lost. In answer to the charge Collins said he knew nothing about the property, all he did kat night in the yard was to remove the rubbish. Mr. Henry—But 10 o'clock at night is an unreason. 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 i❑ the morning. What have you got to say- to the charge, Brewer I 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 Ewood-bridge 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 Laucasbire Railway it has become necessary to lay a double line of rails as far as Rawton stall, aed 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 eartb, 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 hind portion mounted 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 lu 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 pecting him to die. Brewer—l know — nothing about the property. Mr. Henry—The witness says he distinctly saw you 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 the property. - Mr. Enoch Morris, of Longho]me, near Rawtenstall, was seriously injured. We understand that during tho 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 Ashworth, printer and stationer, Bacup, bad 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 bee* ascertained, but will be the subject of inquiry at the coroner's inquest. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, AUG. 5. The fine weather and the rapid fall of the corn mar kets have been favourable to business here, experience having shown that the sui plus set at liberty out of work men's wages through cheapness in provisions tells sooner upon the market for cotton goods than most otbers. Almost all &asses of fabrics for home consumption are in good demand, and, as compared with the prices of last Tuesday, manufacturers are asking Id. per piece advance on printers, Madapollawe, and ehirtings. The market is without excitement, but moderately active, both for home and foreign demand. 149ng cloths and 1' cloths are in request at full prices. Yarns are reported dear, and prices are lookinf , up, sellers givinr , the gnota• tions at id. 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, Mada pollams, and shirtings we continue to have an active general demand, and a steady isusiness is done in them at full prices." . LEEDS, Aua..s. There was a fair attendance of buyers in the cloth halls this morning, 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 an improvement. The fall in corn has raised the spirits of buyers. Several foreign purchasers are in the market. Bthiness was principally in black doeskins, steels, 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 on sale here to-day, but the fresh arrivals were limited. Only a moderate business was transacted, at Monday's decline in the quotations. We were well supplied with foreign wheat. The de mand for all descriptions was heavy in the extreme, and prices were almost nominal. In floating cargoes next to nothing was doing. Tho arrivals are moderate. The few samples of barley on show were taken at full currencies. Malt changed hands to a fair extent, at fully Monday's prices. We had a slow inquiry for oats, yet the quotations were well supported. Beaus, peas, and flour sold heavily, at Monday's decline. ARRIVALS TIM WSSK. Wheat. 1 I Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

Ainsworth, Esq., to those who prove their title to the prize, it is not intended that the cere mony should take place at Dunmow this year, but to defer the presentation to the summer of 1857, when it is expected that the claimants will be more numerous.

The international congress about to he convoke 4 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 basic for further Cus toms' reforms, after the interval of nine years, when the last conference was held there, and under more favour able circumstances, the discussion of questions affecting the manufacturilig 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 bein g made to gi ve p u bli c i ty to t h e project, and practical and scientific men of all countries engaged in trade, cow ' merce and public employments have been invited t o attend. . The Chanibers 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 pract;cal 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 wilt make a similar response. The conduct of the Seeiety of Arts have requested their chairman, Colonel Sykes, who is also, as is well known, the chairman ea the Court of Directora of the East India Company ; Mr. Thomas Twining. jun,, vice-president ; and Mr. T. Winkworth, to represent them at the conferences. Mr. Cobden is also expected to be present, though up to yesterday he 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 coin 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 'sooiety, 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 questions 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 his 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 résumé of his views and opinions upon it. A. distinct intimation is given by those charged with the organise of the„ Congress 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 encouragiog 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 ASSOCIATIO_V. TO TIE 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, is which the writer charges those 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 snceesuaise 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 upon 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 500,0001. 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 mein 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, o<o 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 redaction 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 should receive the greater part in its dikribution. 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 correspondent published on Saturday against the resolution adopted by a majority of the shareholders of the London Life Association for a dis tribution of 230,0001. out of their surplus assets, and which in to be settled by ballot on 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 boilers, 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 respecting it are put forward, and the prospect 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 decide 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. COWES, 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 the 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 thee 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 or vessels are he re by requested not to bring up anchor in the n av i ga ti on of Cowes harbour, as n either the masters nor the owners of the steam packets gating the tame w il l hold themse l ves r esponsible for navi any dam age w hi c h may arise b y collision or other wise." The Town Regatta is fixed for Mon da y next ; and as her Majesty, with Prince Albert and the Roy a l Fluldren, come t o wi t ness it in the Fairy yacht, whi c h is hauled close in to the Parade, in the midst of the exciting scene, thousands attend from all parts of the country ; and it is a question whether the Royal party or the public in general enjoy themselves the most on this occasion.

Thca " w e " s h a ll i n a lt h uman likelihood be 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 Marahalsea. 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 Marsbalsea I 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. Olen naun (" Fate in a go-cart") in the grimly, old, ghost-haunted, spectral " House upon Crutches" where Flin twinch 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, and father of Little Amy Dorrit—Fanny, Tip, and the Father of the Mar shalsea. In the developinent of very mu c h o f which " Spirit"—Mrs. Piornish'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 Bon's Picture of—. THE PAUPER ! " Anybody may pass, any day, in the thronged the rougbfares of the metropolis, some meagre, wrinkled, yel low old man (who might b e supposed to have dropped from the stars, if there were any star in the heavens drill enough to be suspected of casting off so feeble a spark), creeping along with a scared air, as though bewildered and a little inghteued by the noise and bustle. This old man is always a little old man. If he were ever a big old man, hu has shrunk into a little old man ; if he were always a little man, he has dwindled into a less old man. llis 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 in 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 true as any ever touched in upon copper by the magical etching-needle of Wm. Hogarth 1 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 off his unsteady legs by a half-pint pot I' Just for all the world precisely such a little old man as this, " a little, reedy, piping old gentleman, like, a worn-ont 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 Father of the Marshalsea regales his Pensioner upon ham and shrimps in the win dowsill—when the " company" has at length got scattered again, leaving Arthur Clennam and Amy Dorrit alone with poor old Maggy—there comes 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, whale return from the Crimea was so long expected, ar rived yesterday, and nothing could be colder than the reception be 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. The 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 Canebiere, under a salute from the guns of forts St. Nicholas and St. John: Having landed, the Marshal stepped ii.to 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 Minitel was seated, having opposite to him an aide-de-camp and an English staff officer ; next the Miyor 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 Sylvabelie, the most frequented streets in Marseilles. During the entire line of march not a cheer was to be heard, 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 au unfortunate one, being the moment of the siesta after dinner, and that the few people in the streets were half asleep. The Marshal was dressed with great simplicity, and wore a kepi on his head. He looks remark ably well, and appears to m e t o b e very l i ttle changed since the day I saw him embark for the Crimea. To-day be drove in the Mayor's carriage to R . oquevaure, t o see th e remarkable aqueduct by which the waters of the Dura nce are conveye d t o Marseilles. To-night there is to be a representa tion at the Grand Theatre, to which none are to be admitted except by tickets issued at the Mairie. To morrow be is to attend the inauguration of a wcade in the Zoological-gardens ; and at half-past 5, the grand dinner is to take place on the Boule vards, where tables sufficient to accommodate 1,500 soldiers are to be laid. More than 200,000 hectolitres of wheat have it ar rived this we e k a t M ars eilles ; but as fast as is landed it is carried to the interior of France.

They then asked me to sing, and I have seldom had a more pleased audience ; indeed the reiteration of 'char mant,' delicienx,' &c., became at last almost oppres sive. The Duke reminded me of the songs he bad taught me at Donnington Park, ' Cadet Roussel' and Polichinelle eat par tout bien rep,' and I played them over, which amused him very much. Ile said he did not see the least alteration in my looks since we last met, which must be now near eighteeP years age—. Memoirs of nomad lgoore. St, I 1 berdeen Deben. . Do. 6 per cent. )o.

STEALING A WATCH.—STRANGE 9ABE. - Pder That dor Ginesem 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 a 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 iti/lier, 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 autti3rities 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. IThe 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 761. 17s. Gd. 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. SOUTHWARK. ROBBERY BY JUVENILE TI IIEVES.—George Warner, a lad about 13 years of age, was brought before Mr. Combe charged with being concerned, with another lad not in custody, in stealing a purse containing 4/. 103. in gold and Gs. in silver from the perso n of Ann Hensley, under the following 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 put her hand in her pocket, when she missed her purse containing 4/. 165., which she had safe a few minutes previous. She after wards received information that the prisoner and ano ther lad were behind her, ar.d that the former was seen to withdraw his hand from her pocket, consequently she gave information to the police, and he was taken into cibtody. At a late hour in the night a girl brought her 3/. 16s. 6d., which she said was a portion of the stolen property taken from the other lad. Jane Edwards said she was 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. lie Haley. 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 188 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 nso• ther hearing of the robbery searched him and found 31. 16s. 6d. on him, which she immediately sent to the prosecutrix. Mr. Combo committed tho prisoner for trial, and di rected the constable to apprehend the other lad as soon as possible. ad he ,he up ;Tilt is. ii. on. at v ill tear.
