POLICE.-S.kTURDAT.

BOW-STREET.—Tire !AMAX FAMILY.—This ease,
which was adjourned to give Gen. Lomax an opportunity of
attending, and decide what sum he intended to allow his
son, so as to prevent his wife becoming chargeable to the
Strand Union, was again brought before Mr. Henry for ad-.
judication.—Dr. Spursio, of Guildford-street, said he
attended on the part of Gen. Lomax, to acquaint the court
that, being in a very precarious state of health, the least ex-
citement might prove of serious consequences to him should
he be compelled to attend in court and give evidence.—Mr.
Henry said it was a subject of great regret that the matter
could not have been settled in an amicable manner, instead
of having the family dragged before the public so repeatedly,
and he hoped some friend would interpose, and prevent a
recurrence of it —Dr. Spurgin said that ho was
very intimate with the General, and nothing would
give him greater pleasure than to give every as-
sistance in his power to settle the unhappy differences.
Mr. Henry said that the evidence of Gen. Lomax was not
absolutely necessary, but it was a pity Mr. Boas% ood, the
relieving officer, had not seen him, as a settlement of some
kind was very desirable, particularly as nothing could be
brought forward to impugn the character of the complainant.
Mr.J. Lomax said, that every opposition would be made by
his family to and arrangement, and it was intended to appeal
against any decision the court might come to on the subject,
as he was in a position to bring forward evidence to prove
serious charges against the complainant. —Mr. Henry told
him it was a matter of regret that he should have iutertered,
and he believed that no charge of a serious nature could pos-
sibly be substantiated against Mrs. Lomax, as they were
utterly unfounded.—Mr. Boxwood said he had an interview
with the defendant, Mr. John Lomax, on Friday evening,
and he distinctly told him that he never could charge
his wife with infidelity, and that out of the allowance
which might be made to him by his father, he would
be happy to give her what he could afford.—Mr. henry
considered that, after such an avowal, it would be very
improper for Mr. J. Lomax to make any remark against
Mrs. Lomax, and should Dr. Spurgin appoint to meet the ro-
. lieving-officer of the Strand Union at the General's house, a
private arrangement could be effected to the satisfaction of
' all parties.—Dr. Spurgin thanked the magistrate for the sug-
gestion, and: said that on Monday he would meet the
relieving-officer, and do everything in his power to arrange
the matter.—Mr. Janice Lomax said he was anxious to make
some observations respecting the accounts which Lately
appeared in the newspapers, prejudicial to his character.—
. Mr. Henry said he could not suffer him to enter into sub-
jects that had nothing whatever to do withtho case.—Mr.
J. Lomax, who seemed excited, said he was determined to
prefer shill of indictment for perjury.—Mr. Henry said he
could dons he thought proper in that particular, and ordered
the further hearing of the case to be adjourned till Tueaday
next (to-morrow).
MARLBOROUGH - STREET. Etorestexr. Mrs.
Hambrook, dressmaker, of New Bond-street, from whose
house her niece, Miss Jarvis, had eloped a few days ago,
camp to this court to state to Mr. Hardwick, that all the
attempts of the police ti trace the girl had hitherto been
unavailing, though, from circumstances which had oceursed
the previous day, she believed some slight clue bad been
obtained to the movements of her niece. Mrs. llambrook
further said, that she wished to make a reply to the state-
ment clone of her assistants, who with her father had made
an application to the magistrate to get her boxes restored,
and who was represented to have strongly denied all
knowledge and participation in the circumstances of the
wretched girl's flight. There was no truth in this young
womaa's denial. The young woman, whose name was
Parsons, was cognisant of a great deal more than she chose
to avow. Indeed, Miss Parsons had admitted as much to
the police-officer, in the presence of her father, almost imme-
diately after her return from making her application to the
magistrate.—Mr. Ilsrdwiek said he certainly expressed his
belief in the denial of the young woman Parsons, it was so
earnestly, solemnly, and repeatedly made. If the denial
was filse, them all he could remark was, that it was en in-
credible exhibition of duplicity in a person so young.—Mrs.
Hambrook said after Miss Parsons returned to her house on
Friday, it came out that Miss Parsons hid been brought to
town bye gentleman, who, after remaining with her same
time, left her lodging at a public-house in Soho, from which
place she was turned out after her clothes had been seized for
rent. Miss Parsons, about a year riga was introduced to a
well-known house of infamy in King's-place, King-st: eet,
and it was to this very. house that her unfortunate niece had
proceeded on the evening of her elopement. She had nnether
ascertained that the keeper of this infamous house had
been introduced to her niece by Miss Parsons, and that
mother person had been brought into her house by Miss
Parsons, I% ho letil made up the dress which her niece took
with her when she quitted the house. Her niece took away her
clothes in a cab, and it was Miss Parsons who assisted her in
effecting this object, and who had let her in on her return
from depositing her clothes in King's-place. From part:eu-
lays that had been collected, she believed that Miss Par. ons
knew the gentleman with whom her niece had eloped;
indeed, very little doubt existed on her mind that it was the
same gentleman who had seduced, and afterwards aban-
doned, Miss Parsons. She had asked Miss Parsons to tell
her this gentleman's name, but she referred her to
her father, who knew, she said, of her misfortunes before
she entered into her present situation. She (applicant)
wished to know whether the magistrate could not compel
Miss Parsons to disclose the gentleman's name, and to state
all she knew about the affair.—Mr. Hardwick replied he
knew of no potser which a magistrate possessed that could
effect such a purpose.—Mrs. Hambrook said the parents and
relatives of Miss Jarvis were in a state of great
aia-
tre at her loss. There was good reason to suppose
that she had been centaminated by her acquaintance with
Miss Parsons. She was a girl of great attractions ; and, being
very young and rain, was no doubt easily led away by one
more experienced and artful than herself. She had been
constantly riding about in cabs with Miss Parsons, gsing out
early and coming home late, circumstances that had only
come to her knowledge since Fer niece's disappearance. The
mother of her niece had received a letter from her fugitive
daughter, dated from Cambridge, and stating that she had
got another situation in Cambridge, but from the tissue of
deception tbrcughout the whole affair, in which she con-
sidered her servants and some of her workpeople were
equally involved, ehe was doubtfbl how far this clue could
be relied on.—Mr. Vardwick said if a girl chow to adopt a

life of profligacy, he feared that neither parents, friends, nor
magistrate* would be able to turn her from her infamous
~,g6=l:lB,.smee. In this case a maßistrate could give
no If the girl was discovered, and any
amide aet absolutely her property were found on her, she
might** detained until her parents were apprised of her
eased.. This was all the advice and assistance be could
now mdse in this painful case.
LAMBETH.—Masuuktunized.—Hanntsk Moulding and
Asia& Sloss! were charged before Mr. Norton with stealing
a silver watch and guard-chain, the property of the brother
of the first-mimed prisoucr.—The mother of the prisoner
Moulding, who appeared dreadfully afflicted at the position
in which her daughter had placed herself, deposed that for
some months past her daughter, who was only twelve years
of age, had conducted herself in such a way as to convince
her (witness) that she had formed some very indifferent and
profligate acquaintances. She was in the habit of coming
home at all hours of the night, and if she grumbled at
being obliged to get out of her comfortable bed to let her in,
she only received abuse and insolence from the prisoner, who,
in addition, frequently told her she was bound to do so and
support her, she being under age. On Wednesday
morning her daughter left home without even asking
her leave, and shortly after she was gone witness missed her
son's watch and silver guard-chain from his bed-room. She
gave information of the circumstance to a police-constable,
who traced her out and apprehended her and the other pri-
soner when preparing to go to a masquerade.—The prisoner
Moulding acknowledged to having taken bar brother's
watch, but said she had done so at the request and solicita-
tion of her fellow-prisoner, and afterwards pledged it in the
Walworth-road, for the purpose of procuring dresses
to wear at a masquerade. She also acknowledged that
she had been to public balls and dances at the Baths,
in the Westminster-road, as well as to other places of
public amusement, with her fellow-prisoner Stout.—The
mother of Moulding said it was not the intention of her son
to prosecute the prisoner; and Mr. Norton in consequence
took the case summarily, and committed both prisoners fur
fourteen days each to Brixton House of Correction.

MONEY MARKET.

SATVIIINILT ETI2QFI2I.

The funds were more calm to-day, but with a fur-
ther confirmation of the improved values which began to
obtain at the close of business yesterday. Consols have been
all day 944 to 4 for money, and 9..11 to for account, with a
certain activity of transactions. After the close of the mar-
ket, the prices, however, inclined downwards, and for busi-
ness were called only 945 to 4 for account. Reduced Threes,
931. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., to 4. Bank
Stock, 2044 to sf. India Stock, 256 to 8. Long Annuities,
94 to 15-16.. Exchequer Bills, Bs. to lie, premium.
In foreign stocks there hes been little doing. The more
sobered aspect of the intelligence from Spain.madd the bonds
a trills better. The Fives left off at 29 to 1; the Threes, 364

The Bank of England averages for the week ending the
24th inst. give, as compared with those for the week preced-
ing, the following results :

The bullion department, and its position, will naturally
attract more particularly the notice of the moneyed
and banking interests. The stock, es will be seen,
was still in decline, although at a less rate of
outflow than for the two weeks preceding these returns.
The Bank was not far short of one million and a
half poorer in metallic wealth at the date, than some weeks
before. It might still spare two or three millions more with-
out derangement of circulation, assuming the absence of
such political crises as set all calculation at defiance, and
bating such prospective money premium as would seem
perhaps rather imminent, from the exceptional circum-
stances of scarcity of home grown comestibles and neces-
sarily large importations of foreign bread stuffs. The next
few weeks, if not the next week, may inform us better,
should this drain of hard money continue, what may have
been its direction, or what shall ba. If the tide cease to flow
outward from the Bank, it may be concluded safely perhaps
that the bulk hitherto paid out must have been for
internal wants. The heavy amounts of foivign drafts
upon this country, which have been accumulating by every
post, and are still, against cons purchases, are rather omi-
nous of a demand of bullion for exportation to some parts,
such as the Black Sea, where a corres_pondent requisition for
manufactures, or other products on British account, cannot
so readily or immediately be expected. At the same time,
should balances:in other quartere,lthe United States excepted,
where from circumstances it cannot be looked for, be favoura-
ble, the supply of the precious metals may perchance be
equal to the balance of accounts.
The Bank was, at the date, retrenching in its securities
prudently to make face against the decrease of pu'slic and
private deposits, end hence chiefly the decrease of active cir-
culation, inconsiderable as it was. Judging from present
appearances, it would seem that a day of trial was approach-
ing, by which the soundness of the recently established sys-
tem of Bank circulation, and of currency, will ceme to bo
tested. An opinion evidently gains ground in intelligent
quarters that it will prove a failure.

EXCHANGER AND STOCKS ABROAD.

PAWN Oct. 31.—There we a sight decline to-day In the public se-
curities produced by the pre, our falls in London. Speculations on
an immense scale have bi.an made and still continue for the talk
There have pruhabiy been proiluiss I by the apprehended effect of the
disagreement of the French and IlngPsh Cabinets on the subject of the
probable intersention in Portnzil. The market is, however, just in
that state in which news in the plighte4 degree favourable would
cu. ca steady and continucil rise. In railway shares the fall will pro-
hibly continue, owing to the approaching rails. A violent pee ronol
dispute took place before the Minister of Public Works, between the
clireitirs of the Have,. and. Rouen line and the authoritlis of the Punts
et CualaCest which went even to the eau nt of the use of offenaive
language. It is probalic, however, that matters will be adjusted, and
that before January continuous railway commitnic,tiun will be esta-
blished hom Paris to Havre in one direction, and Paris to Abbeville
the other.
