MONEY MARKET AND

CITY, o'CLocir.
The Bank of England return for the week end-
ing Wednesday last shows a further increase of
bullion, and a falling off in the other securities.
This indicates continued easiness in the Money
Market, owing to the quietude of trade and the
absence of active speculation.
.Next week, however,
the demand may temporarily increase, as several
Payments have to be effected in connection with loan
and other engagements. The particulars of the
balance-sheet are as subjoined : .

The Bank' f France return just issued shows an
increase of nearly a million sterling in the discount
operations, and of more than two millions in the
Private deposits. The bullion amounted to
£20,970,900, being a decrease of £64,810. The
decrease in the active circulation is £1,185,990, and
in the private account there is an augmentation of
£2,001,520.
The Foreign Exchanges, yesterday afternoon, ex-
hibited a slight decline in the rates on Holland.
At the Bank of England, yesterday, there were
no bullion operations of importance.
The Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, closed
With a very steady appearance, and 10,000 bales
were disposed of at full quotations.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about £394,779, and the exports £242,130,
exclusive of the following shipments direct from
London to the Continent during the week ending
Thursday last :—Gold coin, Boulogne, 350 ; ditto
bars, Belgium, 250 ; ditto ditto, Dordt, 50. Silver
min, Boulogne, 3,400 ; Hambro', 900 ounces.
The inquiry for discount accommodation in Lom-
bard-street, as well as at the Bank of England, is
remarkably quiet. An active competition, there-
fore, exists for the small supply of commercial bills
brought into the market, and they are freely nego-
tiated at terms ranging from 21 per cent., accord-
ing to quality and the date they have to run.
Although there is a steady extension of business, as
indicated by the Board of Trade Returns and the
increasing traffic on all the principal lines of rail-
Ivay, the wants of the commercial classes aro yet
Too limited to create any important impression upon
the value of money.
At the half-yearly meeting Of the Mid-Kent
Away Company, this day, a dividend at the rate
of 4 per cent. per annum was declared. The report
Was satisfactory, and showed an increase of £BBl,
los' 6d• in the revenue of the past six months,
ever the same period of 1857. The net balance
available for dividend was £1,713 2s. 4d., and
Which, after the payment of the same would leave

The report was adopted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(T.HIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
18410 g
ixonLAR Fuzsx.—Samuel Page, a very tall young
annd who appeared in the dock dressed in a neat bonnet
4114 gay shawl and crinoline, was charged with being found
in Oxford-street attired as a female, for the pur-
Pose of committing a felony.
tit The Prisoner, while in the dock,' notwithstanding the
t4'l4--ug of all persons in court, seemed to treat the matter
With the greatest self-composure.
„Griffin, 238 D, said that about two that morning he saw
b•''e Prisoner loite • g in Oxford-street, near Mr.. Gray's
f'ard, and suspecting that, although he was attired as a
-elnale) he was not one, and that his object might be the
askeddi.n.ii hun ton o
nf a felony he went up and spoke to him, ask-
ing
lfhe was in disguise. Se. He said he was not,. and.
let him go, but he did not feel justified in
mug so' and took him into custody.
Ilfr.
—dighein said the first impression when a man
dressed as a female was that he did so for the purpose of
'Mownsomebody down and robbing him. Was anything
'Mown of him?
The prisoner's mother, a respectable-looking woman, the
Wife of a greengrocer in New-street, Dorset-square, said she loft him in bed at ten the previous night, and that the
things he wore belonged to her. He was oily just turned
fourteen, and helped in the shop.
Mr. Bingham told the lad that he must not do such a
thing again or he might get into trouble. If the mother
had not given a reasonable account of him he should have
remanded him. She had better look after him and keep him
in order.
The lad was then given up to his mother, who seemed in
beat grief.
