MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two - o'CLocK. Accounts from Manchester describe business us being interrupted by the elections, and in most of the other manufacturing towns politics are also en grossing chief attention. The Bank of England weekly Return is com pleted to the 21st inst., and in some respects is of an encouraging character. It is true there has been an increase in " other securities," with a slight diminution in the notes unemployed ; but these movements are partially explained by the advances which are usually obtained at this period in antici pation of the dividends. When these are distributed a large quantity of these loans will be paid off, and a proportionate decline in the private securities will, no doubt, take place. The private deposits are larger, and the public deposits are now nearly nine mil lions, so that the Chancellor will have ample funds at his command to discharge the obligations of the _ _ State which become due at the end of the quarter. Notwithstanding the extensive drain of gold from the establishment, there is a slight increase in the bullion, showing that money is flowing into Thread needle-street from various parts of the United King dom, and perhaps also from Constantinople. The principal items, and the changes they present, are as subjoined : Active Circulation Increase Bullion Increase Rest £18,584,440 67,075 10,322,297 24,632 3,813,985 Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Increase , 103,988 Seven-Day and other Bills 680,966 Decrease Government Securities Decrease Other Securities Increase Notes unemployed Decrease The official return of the exports of the precious metals from the port of London for the week end ing Thursday last is as follows : Gold Coin ... Hamburg ... 2,200 Ozs;and4,sool. , „ ... Boulogne ...25,000 Ozs. 'Sil ' ver Coin ... Mauritius ... 2,500 Ozs. The general demand for money is maintained, end full rates are current. Until the 4th proximo has passed no relief need be looked for, as the com- Inercial payments which have then to be made are of an extensive character. In Public Securities the transactions have been very limited, but increased firmness has been caused by the China news and the general com plexion of the Bank statement. As might be ex pected the election checks speculative activity, the only department in which there is any animation being that for Shares, where the arrangement of the account has commenced. Consols have been 931 g for money, 931 for April 8, and 941 for May. India Bonds are ss. dis., the March Exchequer Bills ls. dis. to 4s. prem., the Juno ditto ss. dis., and the Bonds are 98i I. • Foreign Stocks are chiefly influenced by the ▪ Battlement, but prices tend upwards. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 985 1 for money, and 991 and 98/ for April 15. The 4 per Cents. are marked 101, Russian 45 per Cents. 96, Belgian 41 per Cents. 55, and Dutch 4 per Cents. 99 to 99f. Mexican Stock is flat, being 221 Since the above was written Turkish 6 per Cents. have declined 4to per cent., viz., to 97/ and 98k, owing to an unfavourable rumour in Connec tion with the new State Bank of Turkey. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 7 ; Mexi can, 221 3 ; Peruvian 45 per Cents., 77 9 ; do. 3 per Cents., 55 7 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 441 51 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 8 ; do. 44 per Cents., 96 8 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 41 4 ; ditto De ferred, 25 I ; ditto Certificates, flg. ; ditto Passive, 55 6. An upward tendency in prices has been exhi bited in the Railway Share Market this morning, and a moderate business has been done. The chief of the transactions, however, have had reference to the settlement of the half-monthly account on the 31st inst. Brighton, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln midland, North-Eastern (Berwick) , and Ea , teri; Counties rose ss. Caledonian, Great Northern, Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North- Western, North-Eastern, York, and South- Eastern 10s., and South-Western and Norfolk 15s. to IL The French and Canadian lines have fully maintained previous rates. Northern of France advanced 55., and Southern of France rea lised a slight improvement. In Mining Shares no business calling for a report has been transacted. Joint Stock Bank Shares have been exceedingly quiet, and generally at lower rates. Bank of Egypt have receded ss. ; London and County, ss. Miscellaneous Shares have exhibited no change of importance.

The separate reports show that the prisons of Scotland generally, no less than those of the border English counties annexed to the district,are in good order and under excellent management ; the only marked exception being the borough gaol of New castle-on-Tyne, which is in no respect improved. The general health of the district has been most satisfactory throughout the past year, and the inspec tor has every reason to be satisfied with the system of discipline in operation in the prisons of Scotland. The experience of some years shows that crank labour under judicious rules, may be worked with perfect safety, and the inspector holds it to be the most productive labour, to which a convicted prisoner can be subjected, as being that which will prevent him, on his release, resuming his old employments. The use of the " guard bed," too, is found to have a most deterring effect, without in the slightest degree injuring the pri soners' health ; and many of the governors of Scotch pri-- sons are anxious to have the use of the bed extended - from one to two months after conviction, in the belief that nothing is so likely to induce a thief to consider the propriety of resuming an honest life as an extended use . of such beds. It is thought that the deterring system as carried out in this district might be extended with advantage to the public, and ultimate benefit to the criminal. Little advantage is taken in Scotland of Mr. Dunlop's (Reformatory) Act, for, up to the 31st of December last, not 10 children in all had been com mitted to reformatories, although there are nine of these useful institution s in the Scotch district, The inspector, Sir J. Kincaid, adheres to his opi nion that the ticket-of-leave system " w ill never answer in this country." The details of the report on the borough gad of Newcastle will probably induce the interference of the Secretary of State. That prison is to be considered rather as " a nursery for crime than for the correction of criminals." It is a very den of vice, but the inspector does not know who is responsible for suffering things to remain so year after year. The reformatories have not been as yet long enough in operation to allow any opinion to by formed respecting them, VANDALISM AT DOVER.—The Saxon Church up on the heights of Dover is about to be pulled do wn to make way for some building for which, by the knowledge, onsent, and order of the Government, a cont ract has been taken. Really some inquiry should be made before this venerable structure be destroyed, in order to stop, if possible, so sacrilegious an act. EXTENSIVE BIIRGLARY.—On Thursday last or early on the following morning, the residence of E. Thernp. eon, Esq., Dromenagh, Iver-heath, Bucks, was burgla. riously entered, and numerous articles, in gold and silver, stolen, including 10 guineas, 10 half-guineas, eight gold seven-shilling pieces, silver snuff-boxes, silver table spoons, silver cups, silver articles for the breakfast and dinner table, gold box, 4%0. 20 10 20 10 18 20 100 100 20 25 20 100 10 SHARE MARKETS—(This Day.) riiirll li'iLttton RAILWAYS. 5 all Blyth and Tyne 10 p e.pref.

NOMINATIONS THIS DAY. LAMBETH. The nomination took place this morning at the Tri angle, Kennington-Park, where a commodious hustings, with every convenience for the press, had been erected by order of H. Onslow, Esq., the returning officer. The attendance at the commencement of the proceedings was very small, considering the severity of the contest. The candidates arrived shortly before 10 o'clock. Mr. ilkinson arrived first, and was faintly cheered. He was followed by Mr. Williams, who was loudly cheered. A few minutes after these gentlemen and their friends had take❑ their places on the hustings a long train of carriages was seen to leave the Horns, at Kennington, and almost immediately the " man of the people," the millionnaire, came dashing along in an open carriage and pair, with postilion in livery, followed by two carriages containing ladies, friends of the honourable gentleman, and these followed by others containing his friends and supporters. His appear ance was hailed with loud cheers, which was re peated on his appearing in front of the Lustiogs. After the proceedings had commenced the assemblage of per sons greatly increased. There was the usual amount of shouting and singing, the favourite being a parody on " Villikins and his Dinah," in which frequent allusion was made to Roupell's " siliver and gold." Some amuse ment was created by the eathibition of a placard with the words " Wiscount Villiatns for Lambeth," in conspicu ous characters, in allusion to the hon. gentleman's state ment a few days since that he had withstood all the seductions of the Government to become a Ministerial supporter—evaa to the refusal of a title. During the delivery of Mr. Williams's speech a man on horseback, grotesquely dressed, and covered all over with Roupell's bills, followed by another man on horseback, repeatedly rode round the triangle, distracting the attention of the crowd, and interrupting the delivery of the hon. gentle man's addrees, which caused him to exclaim rather pettishly, "Don't pay attention to that mountebank." The proceedings, on the whole, were very creditably conducted for an election. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, Mr. ONSLOW (the Returning Officer) addressed the electors on the importance of the duty they had to per form, and called on them to give every speaker a patent and impartial hearing. Mr. B. ELLINGTON, in proposing Mr. Williams, said that it was the duty of the electors to select a man to represent the views of the majority in the House of Com mons on great and imperial questions, and who was ready at the same time to give every attention to local matters. Mr. Williams was well known to them as a tried man, and during the time he had been in Parlia• wont he had fearlessly done hi s d u t y . H e had also at tended to all local matters, which was o f as great im portance to them as imperial questions. A fter referring to Mr. Williams as the auditor of the public accounts, and one who, by resisting extravagance, was worthy of their support, he concluded by inovin g M r. W i lli am s as a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament. Mr. SILVESTER seconded the motion, and in doing ff° he alluded to the sarcastic remarks of the Timcs on W M:: : Williams, in which he had been daubed these i liams—( aughter)—and said that notwiths tan s din lle had sneers Mr. Williams had earned and as worked his way from the working c l asses, .,., ll H ume , he the representative And follower 9' " y r high honour 20 20 10 St. 211 58 3 7i 9 88 73 8 213 53 263 11 4Gi i i 46 39i i 160 k 15/ 591 46 - 48 39 - 40 i- 1 p 54 56 5 - 7 dl 10 r Bdl 91 69 8i 11 i 97 6 101} 5f 68g i 102} i 108 i 1041 5 303; * I 39 i 82 1 i 5717 444 86I sal St. 63 125 1 10 1.0.6, MISCEL: 19 'Australian Agricult.' all Austrain.

There seems very little doubt that, generally, the Irish Elections will go against Lord Palmerston. This is ef fected by very strange political distractions. In the County Tipperary, the Tories had no chance, and the contest being bet ween a protege of Mr. George Moore and a Mr. Waldrop, who was Whig pure and very simple, the Tories voted against Mr, Waldron and re turned " The O'Donoghue." This will occur in several Counties, and in Boroughs the Independent party re turns the compliment by voting invariably against the mere Whig for the Derbyite. Lord Palmerston is likely to lose, at least, twenty votes in the Irish Elec tions. The only constituency that pledges itself to his Government is that of Belfast—certainly the most " ad vanceci" town in the United Kingdom, but, for some years, abjectly in the hands of an Orange faction. Here the political game is very peculiar. There are five candidates ; the two sitting Members, Messrs. Cairns and Davison, an ultra-Presbyterian puppet, Mr. Thomas M'Clure, and two Radical can didates, Mr. M'Clean, the well-known London En gineer, a native of Belfast, and Mr. J. F. Ferguson, one of our first merchants. As regards the Burgess roll, the contest would be hopeless for the Liberals, but —indicating a very prevailing feeling—the mercantile people generally, Conservative and Liberal, are so strongly in favour of Lord Palmerston, that hundreds of Tory votes will be given, on purely commercial principles, against the Tory candidates, both of whom figured in the division against the Government on Mr. Cobden's China motion. This opportunity of destroying "Orange" ascendancy is being made the most of by the Liberals, and there seems every certainty of Mr. M'Clean being returned—a distinct gain to Lord Pal. merston of one vote. Theie is, in Belfast, an inextri cable connexion between the local and the Imperial poli. tics. The Belfast Corporation (Tory) are in Chancery, besieged by the ratepayers, for inalversation of property —and as this Corporation has an " Indemnity" Bill standing over, in the House of Commons, for a second reading, the conviction affecting the whole contest is that the Government, if favoured with the return of a Palmerstonian candidate, will " settle" this Indemnity Bill, and effectually dispose of the Conservative Town Council. But, even apart from these peculiarly local considerations, there is here, in the commercial capital of Ireland, where the Irish problem of mixed races and opposing creeds is concentrated--an intelligible and earnest fight between Irish Orangeism and Imperial Liberalism. Belfast is intensely Radical, and the masses here have a very remarkable man for their leader—a Young Inlander imprisoned in 1848, but now with modified, and yet enlarged, politics, appealing for con ditional imperialism to the whole democracy of the country, and, at present, ardently engaged in procuring the return of Mr. McClean. This is Mr. John Rea, who is a very effective speaker, and who is more power ful in Ulster than any other rem He is emphatically Palmerstonian, and the course he is pursuing in favour of the Government is more or less influencing the whole politics of the Nortls. The Government, secure of its English and Scotch majorities, seems to be very earelees In . respect to th e I r i s h e l ec tions ; but this Palmerstonian ardour of Mr. Rea is understood to indi cate some tendency in Lord Palmerston to deal fairly and comprehensively with the Tenant Right question. All the elections in the North will be affected by the result of the contest in Belfast. The town is in a state of great excitement. A letter from Cattaro in the Agram Gazette says : " A priest, named Mina, and Captain de Negos have been arrested at Cettingen as accomplices of Lucas Radonitch. It is said that the conspiracy of the latter counted above 200 members." k a THE BALLOT.—The following is an extract from a letter dated Collingwood, Melbourne, Australia, Nov 12, 1857 We tried the ballot in the recent elections, and it answers admirably, doing away, in a great mea sure, with treating and intimidation, and consequently securing a better class of members." _ 751 6i 88 7i 20 4 20 10 10 62 3 ni 11 12 309 293 267 260 MEMBERS RETURNED FOR THE NEW PARLIAMENT.

Re had pra-ctically carried out the principles on which he was returned—(cries of "No," "Y es ," and cheers)—and in addressing his constituents he bad by manly arguments sustained his principles and con duct. (Cheers and hisses.) After some further remarks, inaudiLle from the noise and confusion that prevailed, Mr. Rhodes concluded by expressing his conviction that Mr. Wilkinson would be returned at the head of the poll. Mr. R. A. GRAY seconded the nomination. Mr. P. Done Tore nominated Mr. Roupell. (Cheers.) He expressed his regret that the electors bad not given a patient h ear i ng to the previous s p ea k ers. H e asked them to support Mr. Ronpell for various reasons. (Cheers.) The first reason was—(a voice, " Recanse he has plenty of money," cheers and bisses)—that he was a resident and an employer of labour within the borough ; secondly, on account of his attachment to the great prin ciples of reform ; and, thirdly, that he was not a enp. porter of any party. (Cheers.) He expressed his confidence in Mr. Roupell'sreturn, and called on the electors toratify that statement by placing Mr. Roupell at the head of the pal on Monday. Mr. GROVES seconded the nomination of Mr. Ronpell. Mr. WILLIAMS said that he had represented the elec tors for nearly seven years. He had served them as a faithful and honest man, and he asked them to renew their confidence in him. (Cheers.) No man in the last Parliament bad taken so much care of their pockets 'as he Lad—(cheers, hisses, and cries of liumbug)—and he had attended to his duties in the House of Commons more than four times that of any other member. (Hear, and laughter.) They would hardly believe teat the present was a liberal Government when he in formed them that they required six millions of money more than was wanted io the last year of peace by Lord Derby and Lord Aberdeen. It was necessary, therefore, for the people to return men to Parliament wile would oppose such extravagance. (Hear.) Since he bad been in Parliament he had devoted more time to his Parliamentary duties than any other member, in • order to protect their pockets, and those of the country at large, from being drained by official extravagance. (Cheers.) He had also accomplished two of the most im port. ant financial reforms that had ever been accomplished with in the memory of man, that of compelling the sir mil lions paid for collecting the revenue being brought into the accounts and paid out again by votes in Parliament instead of its being intercepted as formerly, whereby they had now a complete supervision of the expenditure ; and the other was the imposition of the legacy duty on land, which from the landholders having been so long the law makers, they had for 60 years been relieved, whilst every otherdescription of property had had to pay the tax. (Cheers.) It had this year taken two millions rom the pockets of the landowners and relieved the tax payer to that amount. (Cheers.) The hon. gentleman then stated his opposition to the income tax, and denied that his motion in reference to it at the sudden termi nation of the session was intended as an electioneering claptrap. (Hear, and cheers.) Be entered into a defence of his vote on the China question, and in con clusion asked the electors to look at his conduct and that of his opponents, and then to fairly judge between them as to which was most likely to faithfully and honestly represent them in the present Parliament. (Cheers.) Mr. WILKINSON then came forward, but from the uproar that prevailed he could scarcely be heard.' He said that he came forward on the last occasion at the last hour, at their request, and he' ndw asked them to place him in his late position. During the time he was in Parliament he gave 700 votes, and it was not to be expected that he had pleased every one, but he was pre pared to defend every vote he had given. He did net intend to tell them the profligacy of the Govern• moot, or that he was the only honest man in Par liament, but he did intend to say that the Government bad acted right in reference to China, and the news re ceived this morning confirmed that assertion, the Em peror of China having disowned the acts of Commissioner Yeh. (Cheers.) After some further remarks from the hon. gentleman in defence of his conduct, he desisted from addressing the meeting in consequence of the clamour that prevailed from a certain section of the crowd. Mr. ROUPELL then came forward and was loudly cheered. In the course of his address he stated that he had come forward at the earnest solicitation of his friends as a local and independent candidate, and it was in the strongest and fullest sense of the word that he solicited their suffrages. He was happy to find that the principles he entertained had been sanctioned at crowded meetings of the electors. (Hear, hear.) Connected as, he was with the borough, he felt that he could not better devote his means and position than in advancing the interests of the borough, and he asked for no higher honour than being its representative. He was a supporter of Parliamentary reform, and he would labour hard to get rid of the anomaly that but one man out of seven should be entitled to vote. He was an administrative reformer, and as regarded social questions he was anxious to see the working classes cared for—(cheers)—and their hours of toil lessened without at the same time lessening their wages. (Loud cheers.) He wished to see the working classes properly repre sented. They were the bone and sinew of the country, without whom our national greatness would soon decay. (Loud cheers.) He wished to see. the horrid truck system abolished. He wished also to see the factory children and women properly cared for, and he called on the men of England to stand up and protect these defenceless persons. (Cheers.) He was prepared to support Lord Palmerston in all liberal mea sures, but not otherwise. He bad an inestimable advan tage there over the other candidate, for, not having been in Parliament, he bad no bad votes to account for. lie, however, now pledged them that he would support mea sures of reform and progress if returned, and be should be happy at all times to render them an account of his conduct as a public man. Two objections had been made to him. The first was his age. It was true he did pot offer them the last days of a used-up man or a hackneyed statesman, but years that were valuable to himself and friends, and which he had no d ou bt wou ld b e found valuable to the electors. The other objection was that he was wealthy. So far from that being an objec tion it should be a recommendation, because in such a populous borough as Lambeth, containing 250,000 inhabitants, them would' be ample opportunity afforded him of devoting it to the advantage of his poorer g brethren. A show of hands was then taken, which was in favour of Mr. Rouptll and Mr. Williams. Mr. Wilkinson demanded a poll, which WAS granted, The polling will commence on Monday. A vote of thanks to the returning officer then termi nated the proceedings. SOUTH WARS.. The nomination of candidates for the representation of the borough of Southwark took place this day at the hustings, which had been erected in front of the Town hall, in High-street. There was a very large and noisy assemblage in front of the building at an early hour this morning, and for some time before the regular proceedings of the day corn. tnenced great atnusemeet was created by different parties in the crowd calling for "Three cheers for N3pier and Locke !" and the admirers and supporters of Mr. Apsley Pellatt calling for the same compliment to him. The crowd answered vociferously in the case of Napier and Locke, but when the cheers for Apsley Pellatt were called for, loud cries of " British Bank" were raised. At twelve o'clock the High Bailiff, Mr. ParrcriAnD, attended by Sir C. Napier, who wore a large number of honours on his breast, Mr. Locke, and 'Mr. Pellatt, arrived, and on the gallant admiral appearing in front of the hustings he was most lustily cheered. The precept having been read, The HIGH BAILI?F raid they were assembled that day for the purpose of electing two persons to sit in Par liament for the borough of Southwark. There were three candidates for the honour, and he trusted the electors would give each party in attendance a hearing. (Loud cheers ) Dr. EVANS then came forward to nominate Sir Chas. Napier as a fit and properperson to represent the borough in Parliament. The electors had no reason to be dissa tisfied with the votes of Sir Charles in Parliament, and therefore he trusted they would again return him as one of their representatives. (L,, u d c h eers, and cries of Yes, yes.") Mr. VICARS secondel the nomination of Sir Charles Napier. Mr. T. POCOCK nominated Mr. Locke. He said he did not think it wa9 possible for the electors of South. wark to select a better candidate. He was in favour of liberal and progressive reform, and of all measures that were calculated to improve the condition of the country at large. (Loud chews, and cries of " He'll do, he'll do.") . . Mr. T. MARTIN said it gave him great pleasure to second the nomination of Mr. Locke. Dr. CHALLrs then came forward to nnniinate Mr. A. Pellatt. At this moment the proceedings, which had been of a very noisy description, became perfectly up roariocg, and the whole of the observations we re l os t am idst cries of "British Bank," "Turn nut," &c. The nomination cf Mr. Pellatt having been seconded, T oe FjIUII B &MIFF called fora show of bands, which was in favour of Sir C. Napier and Mr. Locke.
