MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

Mary Ann Harley, a child only six years of age, wa
placed at the bar, when a police constable stated tha
at a late hour on Friday night last, lie found the child
crouching down on the step of a door in Oxford-street,
shivering with cold, wet through to the skin, and crying
with hunger. On questioning her she stated that she
had been living with her aunt in Mary-street, Hamp-
stead-road.

Mr. LONG said he remembered the child being
brought before him on Saturday, and be then directed a
police constable to take the child home to her aunt.
Inspector Beresford said that the order had been
strictly attended to. The police constable proceeded
with the child to her aunt's, but she refused to receive
her, alleging that she had a large family of her own,
and could not afford to keep other persons' children.
Application was then made to the parochial officers of
St. Pancras, but they refused to admit the child into
the workhouse, on the plea that when found by the po-
liceman she was in the parish of St. George, Hanover-
sqUare. Application was then made to the authorities
of the latter parish, but they shifted the onus of afford-
ing any relief on the ground of the child having last
slept in St. Pancras.
Mr. LoNo—lt is really shameful that a mere infant
should be handed about in this way. I direct that the
police constable take the child to St. George's parish,
where she was found, and acquaint them, that unless
they receive her, as they are by law bound to do, and
find out her legal settlement, I will write to the Poor-
law Commissioners on the subject.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARIET, SATURDAY.--The
Sales to-clay are 3 a 4,000 bags at yesterday's quota-
tions.

(From the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's date.)
BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, OCT. 30.—Our Bourse
had a favourable tendency the same as yesterday : the
National Funds were sought after, and the prices were
higher. A great deal of business was done in the In-
tegrales and Actions of the Society of Commerce, the
first were in request. In time it was generally believed
that the French Cabinet was formed, although nothing
official was known.

The Foreign Funds partook with those of the Na-
tional Funds, and the Spanish Funds were rather lower.
Accounts from the Hague, Oct. 30, state that the
Government has decided in future that a part of the
produce of the East Indies shall be sold at Batavia, in
consequence of which the Dutch merchants, as well as
those from other parts of the world, can provision the
Island of Java.

AMSTERDAM, OCT. 29.—The finance communication
made yesterday to the States-Geneitl by the Minister
of Finance, has been generally approved of, being more
satisfactory than was expected, in consequence of which
the Funds were animated.
