IiOiTY Eir AP T E AND OOMMERCT A L INTELLIGENCF; • CITY, Two o'CLocK. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, there was a fair demand for all descriptions, and 4 ased with a firm appearance, at previous rates. ~ sales amounted to 8,000 bales, 2,000 of which W ere talien for export and on speculation. The 4 ailway Share Market closed quietly, and prices le r e without alteration. The Bank return for the week ending the 20th astant, is generally considered very favourable ; 4 411 , 4 hopes are entertained of additional ease in the ii 'l,seount market. A satisfactory increase is ex ibited in the bullion, while the reserve of notes ascending to a point which will enable the ''rectors to extend their monetary opentions. I There is also a reduction in the stock of " other te Nrities," but the total is still very large, 4114 a further diminution is desirable. A de !ease is noticeable in the other delimits, but a set off against this there is a further augmenta 211in the public deposits, owing to the energy i Z t tl which theßevenue is now being collected. On e Whole the balance sheet is encouraging, and as e demand for accommodation is less urgent, with t fat in the rates to decline, it is probable t another modification in the official terms may ; 01 1 be effected, especially as the eastern exchanges rather more favourable. The principal items ‘ l4 the changes they present are as follows : keti've Circulation Increase 1311 llion ... 11,172,882 Increase 3,353,074 h Increase roblio Deposits . 7,799,602 Increase Other Deposits Decrease oeven.D a y and other Bills 648,942 r , Decrease nvernment Securities Increase Other Securities Notes Decrease "otes unemployed Increase t 'le banking firm of Messrs.

Business this dsy MARINE SERVICE. • Yesterday afternoon a pubic meeting of shipowners, merchants, marines, and erginesra of the port of Lon don, was held at the London Tavern, to consider the operation of certain clauses of the Merchant Shipping Act of 1854, and the expediency of endeavouring to oh taiu a revision of the act. An ,association has been formed named the Mercantile Marine Service Associa tion, the object of which is to raise the condition of masters, mates, aad seamen, engineers and others of the merchant marine . to effect the amendment of the Mer chant Shipping Act, 1854, and to obtain the incorpora Lion by royal charter or act of Parliament of the mercantile marine service of the United Kingdom. Deputations from Liverpool, Southampton, Bristol, Exeter, and other ports attended the meeting yesterday. Masters, mates, and seamen, who are eepecially inte rested in 'the objects of the association (which had been formed with a view to their benefit) had also been re quested to attend, and were present in large numbers. Oa the platform were the following members of Par liament :—Mr. Willcox, M.P. ; Mr. Dutton, M.P. ; Mr. White, M.P. ; Sir James Elpbinstone, M.P. ; • and Mr. W. T. M'Cullagh, M.P. Mr. CRAWFORD, M.P., who was in the chair, opened the meeting by detailing the objects whiCh were agreed upon at the meeting held on the 221 of May last. It is proposed to elevate the social and professional status of the class alluded to, by amending the system of exami nations for masters and mates in ther merchant service, so that they may be conducted with due regard to expe rience, aptitude, and practical knowledge, as well as by providing first-class certificates for masters and mates in certain cases without the usual examination, as rewards for long and able service, braliaut acts of seamanship, discovery and enterprise, or the saving of life and cargo under perilous conditions. It is also suggested that situations under Government, relating to these mat ters, shall ordinarily be bestowed upon properly-quali fied persons belonging to the merchant service. The administration of the " Merchant Seamen's Fund" is to be improved, so as to supply a comfortable refuge to aged and disabled members of the service in every grade. The power now allowed seamen to quit their ships in foreign ports, and join men-of-war, it is sought to abo lish. The objects of the association, moreover, include an alteration of the existing law as to cases of wreck and casualty, substituting inquiry by a c :rover's jury (to be composed of shipowners and mariners) for the present courts, and likewise the alterations of the re gister regulations, and the abolition of light dues and passing tolls. The following were the resolutions submitted to ,the meeting yesterday, and adopted : "1. That this raeeting, approving the constitution and objects of the Mercantile Marine Service Associa tion, as read to the meeting, pledges itself to use all legitimate efforts for the esetension of the organisation and the attaisoment of its objects. "2. That the following, together with the chairman, deputy chairman, and other officers of local associations, constitute the executive committee : Captains J. S. Boulton, W. 0. Campbell, J. It. Eugledue, W. H. Franklyn, J. B. Godfrey, R. D. Guthrie, Harrison, R. Heard, A. Ilendereon, Charles Hodder, S. Hyde, C.S., Jackson, T. Jarvis, C. H. Onslow, George Peacock, Samuel Reed, H.

In the Senate the debate on the bill on constitu tional reform was being slowly proceeded with. In the Chamber of Deputies the bill on the bases of public instruction had been adopted, as had also that on highways. On the 22d the chamber wee occupied in discussing the bill relative to the treaty for fixing the frontiers between France and Spain. The bill- on the press was about to be discussed, and the editors of the newspapers intended, in addition to the usual reports of it, to print the principal speeches separately, and make a dis tribution of them. The payment of the divi dend on the debt was to commence on the let of July, and it was said that the Government was able to meet all its engagements. According to the Hojas, a semi-official authority, the Government, convinced that M. Lafragua, the Mexican envoy, was not really desirous of arriving at a satisfactory settlement of tte points in dipute wi , h Mexico, was about t publish a formal decla ra•ion of rupture with that country. A strange present had been made to the little Princess of the Asturias :—Having some time ago been taken by the King, her father, to the inauguration of a hos pital, she in spite of her extreme youth behaved so well that his Majesty promised to make. her a pre sent of anything she might wish for. The Princess immediately replied thet she would like to have a uniform of the riflemen of Madrid. The King in formed a battalion of the riflemen on duty at the palace of the wish of the Princess, and the officers immediately had a splendid uniform of their corps prepared and presented it to the Princess.

(This Day.) SOUTHWARK. CHARGE OP SIiorLIFTING.---Margaret Hennessey, a respectable-looking young woman, was brought before Mr. Combs charged with stealing a merino dress, from the shop of Mr. Charles Eastwood, draper, &c., New ington-causeway. Celia Smart, assistant to Mr. Eastwood, stated that while she was attending to a customer on the previous evening, she received information from a young lady that a female had just entered the shop and stolen a merino dress. Witness immediately missed one from the door way,.and then she proceeded into the street where she saw the prisoner running across the road with something bulky under her shawl. A constable went after her and brought her to the shop with the dress in her possession. Witness had seen the dress at the.door way a few minutes previous, and she recollected seeing the prisoner and another female looking about, but she had no suspicion of their intentions. The prisoner here declared that she did not steal the dress. She only picked up the article, and intended to have given it up to the police constable, when she was stopped. James Garrett, 282 141, said that the prisoner was run ning away as fast as she could, when the witness called on him to stop her. He then asked her what she had under her shawl, when she replied, nothing, and at the same time threw down the dress produced and attempted to run away. Witness caught hold of her and took her back to the shop, were she was given into his custody. Mr. Combe asked the prisoner whether she still per sisted iu stt.ting tha! she picked up the dram If she did ho must send her for trial. The prisoner, hesitating a little, said she did not want to go for trial. Mr. Combo told her that she must plead guilty if she wished him to deal with her. THE PRINCE CONSORT.

Mr. Combe said that as it appeared to be her first offence, he should sentence her to three months' hard labour. ' At the Court at Buckingham-palace, the 25th day of June, 1857—present, the Queen's Most Excellent Maj-sty in Council.

Some time afterwards, and when the quarrel was over, and a crawd of foreign seamen and others were assembled in Ratcliffe-highway, the two young men, Webster and Bishop, were passing quietly along, interfering with no one,, when the prisoner to, k a long and sharp scabbard knife, with which be was armed, from his sheath, and rushed upon the two Englishmen. Webster received two severe wounds, one on the right shouldCr and the ether on the left, side under the left arm-pit, Bishop, to use the words of a witness, was " ripped up." He received a severe and dangerous wound on the lower part of his person, the wawa was punctured, and he also received a wound on the thigh. Bishop was immediately taken to London Hospital. The prisoner, after be bad committed the dastardly assaults, threw away his knife, and escaped into the house of a foreigner, named Joseph Williams, in Rateliff-highway, who was fined 51. for assaulting Payne, the police-constable, and resisting him in the execution of his duty while attempting to enter the house. Mr. John Cowley, surgeon, of High-street, White chapel, said he attended Webster, and that the wound under his arm-pit was an inch in depth and an inch in length. The loss of blood was very great. Payne, a police-constable, said he was under the neces sity of conveying Webster to the London Hospital after the first examination, and that both men were in imminent danger. It was cot expected that Bishop world survive. Mr. Selfe said this was a most shocking case, and again remanded the prisoner for a week.

Dating the earlier part of this day a private in quiry was prosecut:d•at the Brouds'one teimintvi, under the direction of the Crown solicitor. The son of the prisoner, and another person were examined, and their statements taken down in writing in the shape of depositions. Shortly before 4 o'clock the prisoner was placed in a cab, and, accompanied by Superintendent Guy, was cn his way from Frederick lane station to the Police-court in Capel-street, where the magistrates, Mr. O'Donnell and Mr. Port r, bad remained after office hours for the pur pose of hearing the case ; on the way, however, an order was received from the Government authori ties countermanding a previcus order, and directing that the prisoner should not be brought before the magistrates for examination until to-morrow morn ing at 11 o'clock. The interest evinced by the Executive in the progress of the ease may be gleaned from the fact that an Aide-de-camp of the Lord Lieutenant attended to watch the proceedings. The greatest excitement prevailed in the neighbour hood of the Police-court, where crowds of persons were assembled. No new fact transpired during the day. The following is from the Freeman's Journal:— "It having been generally understoood that the prisoner, James Spollen, at present con fined in Frederick-lane police-station louse, charged with the murder of Mr. Little, would be brought up for examination in Lapel -street police-office yesterday morning, a large number ofpersons assembled in the office and round the doors through which Spollen was expected to pats, but they were destined to be disappointed, as •the Crown decided on postponing the examination of the prisoner, for the purpo se o f obtaining some additional and important evidence. As we have already scat: d, the prisoner was not aware of his wife having given information against him until he saw her in - Fredeaick-lane statienhouse on the co- casion of his being charged by Mr. Superintendent Guy. On that occasion, after he had been brought down stairs to the reserve room, he appeared quite astonished when he saw his wife. After the charge had been duly entered and read to him the pockets of his clothes were searched in the usual way, and in them a key was found, with other matters. He objected to it being taken from him, and said that it was the key of his private drawer, and that they had no right to deprive him of it. This key was intrusted to one of the police, who went to the prisoner's house late on Wednesday night, and found that it opened a drawer in a chest in the par _ . lour of his residence. In the drawer eight sove reigns were found rolled up in a piece of wadding, which bad the appearance of having been in a muddy place, as portions of clay were adhering to it. The police are of opinion that this money was taken from the place where the gold and notes were ... found the day Previous by Serge — ant Meyers. From ihe time the prisoner saw his wife and•heard the charge which was made against him he has scarcely spoken a word to any person, save when calling for food, which he partakes of with a good ap petite. He remained nearly the entire of yes terday in one position, with his head resting on his hand, and apparently impressed with the fear ful character of the charge brought against bim. The Crown Solicitor and Mr. Superintendent Guy were occupied during the principal part of the day in taking dow❑ the statement of Mrs. Sp , dlen and those of her daughter Julia, a very clever and in telligent child, who appears to be about 11 or 1.3 years of age, and in charge of the police, along wiih her mother, as a witness for the Crown. "The razor with which Mr. Little's throat is supposed to have been cut, and which was found by the police in the canal, was show❑ to Mr:3. Spolln yesterday for the purpose of trying whe ther she could identify it as one belonging to her husband. She said that she could not iecogniFe it as his, but remarked that some time before the murder was committed her husband had been made a present of a razor by a friend of his, and that the razor 'found in the canal may be that one. The police aro aware of the name and address of the person who gave the razor to the prisoner, who no doubt will be able to say positively whether the razor in the hands of the police is the one which he gave to Spollen. In the information given by Mrs. Srolien to the police she says that her hus band, on coming home at eight o'clock on the evenieg of the murder, remembered that ho had forgoten.his time-book' in the office of Mr. Lit le, and, fearing that it might be discoverel, he went back to the room and found it there, and brought tit home. The li le girl (Julia Spollen) in her ex amination yesterday, it is understood, gave some very important information, and identifies the piece of cotton cloth in which the money found by Ser geant Meyers o Wednesday last between the boundary walls of the railway and the workhouse was wrapped up as hers. This pie . ,;e of cloth, she says, she got from her aunt some time since to make a bonnet, but, not liking the ma terial, it was never applied to the purpose for which it was given, but 'left lying at home. A general search for the remainder of the money taken from Mr. Little's office on the night of the murder and also for the key of the office-door was resumed yesterday morning by Sergeants Craven and Meyers, assisted by a number of workmen. The Bradogue river, into which .it was stated the key was thrown, was thoroughlyexplored for a con siderable distance, and in places where it was flagged over the flagging has been removed to faci litate the search. The two hiding places where the money was found' concealed on Wednesday were also minutely examitled, but up to a late hour last evening neither the key nor the remainder of the missing money had been discovered. A fitter's hammer, with a broken face was found in a drawer in the prisoner's house. This hammer is the one which Was given to the prisoner out of the railway stores wh(n he stated some sime since that he had lost his own. The_ hammer which the prisoner stated he had lost, Mrs. Spollen says, is the one which was found in the canal. Late yesterday evening the cottage in which the prisoner resided was searched in every part,. but no discovery was made. The son of the prisoner, whose name also is James Spollen, who is at present in charge of the police at Chancery-lane stationbouse, is a well looking lad of about 16 years of age. He bore his confinement very well up to yesterday evening, when he Lecame quite overowered with grief at the posit on in which his father was placed, and called repeatedly for his mother, and he begged of the constable who had charge of him to take him to her or bring her to him. He is at present detained by the Crown as a witness. The search at the Btoadstone terminus will be resumed this day, and the further exploration of the river pro ceedel with, as the possession of the missing key of the door of the cash office is regarded as of the last importance. " Spollen was originally employed by the company as a porter, but being an intelligent, quick, ingenious parson, he soon acquired some skill as a painter, and was latterly engaged m painting, glazing, and doing odd jobs about the terminus ; in fact, he was regarded as a very useful, " handy man." He is described as a very indus trious, hardworking man, rather quiet in manner, steady in conduct, and of good address. He ap pears, too, to be a man of some taste; the walls of his neatly-furnished comfortable cottage are profusely adorned with pictures in gilt frames, and the small piece of ground in front of it is laid out in pretty Bower-beds, with one or two little plots of peas, now in blossom, interspersed. Scarlet run ners are also trained in front of the cottage, and the garden is further adorned by an ingeniously constructed "rockery," as it is termed—a number of large stones, moss, flowers, and the roots of trees, arranged together in a very tasteful manner. Hanging outside the door was a handsome brass wire cage containing a pretty canary, which was a great pet of the prisoner's. He used to speed many of his leisure moments in training it. He also kept a small rabbit in a neat wooden cage, a portion of which is circular and rotatory, like those in which white mice and guinea pigs are generally confined. The cottage lies almost exactly opposite to the room in which the murder was committed, and within a stone's throw both of the terminus and of the place where the murderer concealed his booty. Thus the first object which would meet the eyes of Spollen and his wife on going out of their cottage was the window of Mr. Little's room, the recollec tion of the terrible tragedy enacted therein being constantly kept before the mind of the woman. " We understand that the prisoner, contrary to what might have been expected, has never evinced the slightest disinclination to enter into conversation on the subject of the murder. He has frequently dis cussed the matter with various persons in the em ployment of the company, always expressed his horror of the crime, and was noticed for constantly observing, What a nerve the fellow must have had that did it.' It is stated that a few days ago he was in company with some of the workmen, when, the murder having been referred to, one of the men remarked, I wonder whether the murderer was among the batch lately discharged by the company.' No,' replied Spollen, lam cer , tain the fellow is still among us and laughing a t us. In reference t o the question of unrestricted access to the terminus it may be mentioned that the prisoner had charge, among other matters r elating to the buildi ng, o f the cleaning of the windows, on which a ccount hi s passing through rooms and corridors would not at tract particular notice. tc Among the means resorted to shortly after the crime was committed for assisting to discover the murderer was clairvoyance, and at the same :there was forwarded to the police authorities from Eng land a statement, alleged to have been made by a clairvoyant operated upon in the usual way, that LLOYD'S EIiiPPING.---(Tbis Day.)

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday a fatal accident occurred to a lad at the Lambeth swimming -baths, in consequence of being seized with a fit whilst bathing. Medical aid was quickly in attendance, yet notwith standing the greatest exertions the poor boy never re covered. An inquest is to be had on the body this evening. Not the slightest blame is attributed to the officers of the company, the greatest care being taken to prevent accidents happening. This is the first death that has taken place since the establishment of the baths nine years ago, and it occurred under circumstances that set human precautions at defiance. FORGING A COUNTY COURT PROCESS.-__A somewhat singular case was heard before the Exeter magistrates a few days ago. A respectable tradesman, named Wil liam Dowdey, of Topsham, was committed for trial on a charge of forging the name of Mr. John Daw, registrar of the Exeter District County Court, to an illegally concocted summons. It was 'stated that persons travel about the country and make a good living by selling documents in imitation of County Court summonses, which are printed in Holywell street, London. These are purchased by small trades men, who send them to tardy debtors in order to frighten them into payment. To make the process com plete it is necessary to forge the signature of the registrar. This Downey did, and posted the letter in Exeter, so that it might appear to the debtor they came from the office of the registrar. By the County Courts Act the offence is one of felony. It was stated by Mr. Daw that he be lieved the prisoner did it in ignorance of the consequences, but still it was a serious offence, and people must be made aware thereof. The magistrates committed Downey for trial at the ensuing quarter sessions. ldl FAVLWAYT. St. II St. 1.1 25 St. ;ii St. !10 25 a 50 a 25 a 12, 1 , a 124 a 20 a St. 1 10 St. li 64 Rackghamsh.

The clairvoyant was a boy employed in a factory in London, and the foreman of the establish mint, who forwarded the communication to the po lice here, mentioned that the boy's powers in this respect had been frequently tested and found use ful. • "Although no time has yet been fixed for bring ing up the prisoner for extmiva 4 ion at Capel-street office, in all probability the case for the Crown will be so far compete as to enable the police to charge the prisoner biifore the sitting magistrate in the course of this day." Another morning paper states that an investiga tion by the Crown solicitor was held at Sackville place station late yesterday evening, and that some fresh evidence was elicited, which, however, it was not deemed prudent to make public. It is also stated that Spollen is an Irishman and a in , mber of the Roman Cathul,c Church. He is a native of Lucan, a village about six miles d stant from Dublin ou the west side. Mrs. Spollen, it appears, has made some further revelations:— " On the night of the murder she states that her husband did not immediately bring the money into the house, but concealed it among some sheds near his own residence, until he had broken the matter to her. Afterwards he brought it in a tin vessel, counted, and divided it into a heap of silver and a heap of gold. The latter and a portion of the former he consigned to the places in which they were found during the same night. A large part of the silver, however, he concealed in a small tank adjoining his residence ; and two days before the discovery of the money in the basket, near the car riage works, it was taken by him at six o'clock in the morning, and placed in thAt Position. She al leges that he did this knowing that the basket had been lying unused for two years, and that, having access to the premises at all times, he could, with almost perfect security, draw from it small sums from time to time fur his private purposes. She also says that he was in great terror at one period, when the police were actually searching within a: few feet of the place in which the gold was con cealed, and that she, believing it was discovered, warned him of the circumstance, whereupon he made a pretence to clean some lamps along the wall, which gave him an opportunity of overlooking the proceedings of the police without suspicion attach ing to himself, and she added that he told her the gold was not discovered, as the stones remained where he had placed them. Some corroboration of this fact is atfuded by the circumstance that the police actually searched upon one occasion within two feet of the hiding-places both of the gold and the silver." PRESENTATION OF WAR MEDALS AT LIVERPOOL. Yesterday afternoon the pensioners belonging to the Liverpool district were drawn up in a square, two deep, in the Exchange area in that town, to witness the presentation of the French Crimean medal of valour to two British soldier?, Sergeant Brummell, of the 46th Regiment, and Private Joseph Mitchell, of the 69th Light Infantry, the former of whom lost a leg while under fire in the front parallel, and the latter an arm in the trenches. The medals were for general bravery during the campaign. The presentations were made iu the name of the Emperor of the French by Col. Bell, inspecting field-officer of the district, besides whom there were pre,ent Lieut.-Col. Rogers, Capt. Faulk ner, Capt. Bradish, Capt. Middleton, 8 - tc. The ceremony was witnessed by the Mayor of Liverpool (Mr. F. Shand) and a party of friends from the ba- cony overlooking the area, and by a large number of merchants and other?. Colonel BELL, in presenting the medals, said— Now, my o!cl soldiers and companions, I am going to introduce to your notice two of my old and gal lant conindes iu the late war—two gallant men who during the whole (.f the Crimean service were dis tinguished by their own commanding officers and by the General Commanding-in-Chief, and who are now is be decorated with the war medal by the order of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of the French—the greatest honour that can be conferred upon a British soldier after receiving distinguished marks of honour from his own Queen. I have very few words for this occasion ; it requires but few. These medals (producing them) have been for warded from the Emperor of the French to be conferred upon two brave British soldiers. They bear upon one side the bust of his Im perial Majesty, and upon the other the words " Valour" and " Discipline" are inscribed. Those words are always applicable to good British soldiers, for a well disciplined - British soldier must be a valiant man, and a val'aut man is always a well disciplined soldier, deriving all his honour from discipline and obedienceto orders. Theßritish soldier asks no questions on the day of battle. He aWnds to the orders of his commanding officer. He looks neither to the right nor to the left ; he fights to the front ; he fights for victory, and wins. (Cheers.) Here are two gallant men, Sergeant Brummell (who stepped forward) and Joseph Mit chell(who also stood to the front). These men nobly distinguished themselves in the late war. No one knows what that war was, nor can any man tell its hardships and dangers, not even the Times corres pondent. The hardships of the British army are known only to those strong men who were there to share the dangers, and who outlived the perils. But they are rewarded by their country. Look round upon this assemblage of the gentlemen of Liverpool; the merchants of this great city have come to see two gallant soldiers decorated with this sign of valour. Look back a little in the order of events, and recall to mind the noble ladies of England, who not only wept for their countrymen, but worked day and night, and sent them all the comforts and conveniences and delicacies they could to the plateau of Sebastopol, with the hope of sustaining and en couraging the brave hearts who were dying on that cold sod. Soldiers, you can never do enough for the ladies, God bless them I (Cheers.) In conclusion, Colonel Bell having affixed the medals on the breasts of the recipients, heartily shook them by the hand, and wished them long life and health to wear them, assuring them that wherever they went they would be the passports to a cordial reception. (Cheers ) At the request of Mitchell, one of the newly de corated heroes, three times three cheers were given for the Queen, three for the Emperor of the French, and three,for the ladies of England. The proceed ings then terminated. Both Brummell and Mit chell have already received the English Crimean medal, Mitchell with three bars—" Alma," " In kerman," and ." Sebastopol," and Brummell with one bar—Sebastopol." Eared and Military intelligence. The 2d Battalion of Rifles loft Aldetshott Camp yesterday for Dublin. Before leaving, Col. Hill, C. 8., and the officers of the regiment presented Mr. Garry, the station-master at Farnborough, with a splendid silver salver, as a mark of their apprecia tion of his unvarying courtesy and attention.
