MONEY MARKET CITY, Two'o'CLocK. Accounts from Manchester describe business as 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 note s unem p lo y ed ; 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, FO that the Chancellor will have ample funds at his command to discharge the o bligations of the State which become clue 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 isTowing 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 suLjoioed : Active Circulation Increase Bullion Increase AND CO MMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. 1 Cr. £18,584,44 0 67,075 —. 10,322,297 24,632 Rest Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Increase Seven-Day and other BilLs 19,401 Decrease 11 G overnmen t Securities Decrease Other Securities 19,998,712 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 ...

Until the 4th proximo has passed no relief need be looked for, as the com mercial 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 9 3 1 1 for mone y , 931 f for April 8, and 94} j for May.

Since the above was written Turkish 6 per Cents. have' declined 4 to 1 per cent., viz., to 97/- and 98k, owing to an unfavourable rumour in connec tion with the new State Bank of Turkey.

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 Nbich will prevent him, on his rtlease, resuming his old employments. The use of the 4t guard bed," too, is found to have a most deterring effect, without in the slightest degree injuring Scotch p 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 th e deterring system as carried out in this district might be extendedo with advantage to the public, and ultimate benefit t 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 coin- - mitted to reformatories, although there are nine of these useful institutions in the Scotch district. The 1 ; inspector, Sir J, Kincaid, adheres to his opinion that the ticket-of-leave system " never answer in this 5 0 country." The details of the report on the borough gaol of Newcastle will probably induce the interference of the Secretary of State. That prison is to be considered 100 rather as " a nursery for crime than for the correction 100 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 be formed respecting them. VANDALISM AT DOVER.—The Saxon Church upon the heights of Dover is about to be pulled down to make way for some building for which, by the knowledge, tionsent, and order of the Government, a contract has been taken. Really some inquiry should be made before this venerable structure be destreyed, in order to stop, r !t i if possible, so sacrilegious an act. ' 0 EXTENSIVE BORGLARY.—On Thursday last or early 100 OD the following morning, the residence of E. Thomp. 10 son, Esq., Dromenagh, Iver-heath, Bucks, was burgle- . 5 , riously entered, and numerous articles, in gold and f° sto'en, including 10 guineas, 10 half guineas, eight gold seven-shilling pieces, silver snuff-boxes, silver m table spoons, silver cups, silver articles for the breakfast i f oo and dinner table, gold box, 100 THE.

Kinuaird THE GENERAL ELECTION. 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 11. Omlow, 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. Fti ilkinson arrived first, and was faintly cheered. Ho was followed by Mr. Williams, who was loudly cheered. A few minutes after these gentlemen and their friends had taken 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 carrikes 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 exhibition of a placard with the words " \Viscount Villiams fur 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 Gov e r nmen t t o b ecome a Mi n i ster i al supporter—even 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 rour.d 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 havirg been gone through, Mr. ON SLOW (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 patient and impartial hearing. Mr. IL ELLINGTON, in proposing Mr. Williams, said 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 ment he had fearlessly done his duty. He had also at tended to all local matters, which was of as great im portance to them as imperial questions. After 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 gloving Mr. Williams as a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament. Mr. SILVESTEIS seconded the motion, and in doing so he alluded to the sarcastic remarks of the Times on Mr. Williams, in which he had been daubed Viscount Wil liams—( aughter) —and said that notwithstanding these sneers Mr. Williams had earned high honours. He had worked his way from the working classes, and as the representative and follower of Joseph Hume, he greatly checked the extravagance of the Government (cheers)- -and was therefore entitled to support. Mr. RHODES nominated Mr. Wilkinson. (Cheers and hisses.) He had practically carried out the principles on which he was returned—(cries of " No," "yes,' and cheers)—and in addressing his constituents he had by manly arguments sustained his principles and con duct. (Cheers and hisses.) After some furiher remarks, inaudible 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 pol. Mr. R. A. GRAY seconded the nomination. Mr. F. DOULTON nominated Mr. Roupell. (Cheers.) He expressed his regret that the electors had not given a patient hearing to the previous speakers. He asked them to support Mr. Roupell for various reasons. (Cheers.) The first reason was—(a voice, " Because he has plenty of money," cheers and hisses)—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 be was not a sup porterofany party. (Cheers.) He expressed hisconfidence in Mr. Roupill'sreturn, and called on the electors toratify that statement by placing Mr. Ruupell at the head of the poll on Monday. Mr. Gftovss seconded the nomination of Mr. Roupell. 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 had—(cheers, hisses, and cries of humbug)—and be 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 that the present was' a liberal Government when he in formed them that they required six millions of money more than was wanted in the last year of peace by Lord Derby and Lord Aberdeen. It was necessary, therefore, for the people 'to return mon to Parliament who would oppose such extravagance. (Hear.) Since be 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 import ant financial reforms that bad ever been accomplished with in the memory of man, that of compelling the six 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 bad had to pay the tax. (Cheers.) It had this year taken two millions from 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 sodden termi nation of the session was intended as an electioneering claptrap. (Hear, and cheers.) He 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 anal honestly represent theta in the present Parliament. (Cheers ) Mr. WILKINSON then came forward, but from the uproar that prevailed he could scarcely be heard. H e said that he came forward on the las t occasion at the last hour, at their request, and he now asked them to place him in his late position. in Parliament he During itthe time was not he to was ga ve 700 vo tes, andbe expected that he had pleased every one, but be was pre 50 a: 25 a] 12A al 12 al 20 al 50 a 50 a 50 a 25 a 122 a 50 a: 25 a: St.'loo SHARE MARKETS—(Phis Day.)

Conservative, _ pared to defend every vote he had given. He did intend t o tell them the profligacy of the4it no Gover n merit, orhat he was th e on l y honest man in P an liament, but he 6i,1 int en d t o sa y th a t t h e Governmen had ar.ted right in reference to China, and the news re ceived this morning confirmed that asserti n, the Ern per,r. 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 adtlreesirg the meeting in consequence of the clamour that prevailed from a certain section of the crowd. Mr. Roureee, then came forward and was loudly cheered. In the course of his address be stated that be had come forward at the earnest solicitation of his frieeds as a local and independent candidate, and it was in so'i ci the t stron their gest and fullest se nse o f the word that he ed suffrages. He was happy to fi n d th at the principles he entertained bad been sanctioned at crowd:d meetings of the electors. (Rear, bear ) Connected as he was w i t h t h e bereugh, be felt that be could not bett e r d evo t e hi s means and position than in advancing !he interests of the borough, and he asked for no higher honour than being its representative. Il e was a supporter of Parliamentary reform, and he Would la'mur hard to get rid of the anomaly that but one ro am out of eevtn should be entitled to vote. He was an administrative reformer, and as regarded social questions he was anxious to see the working classes cared fur—(cheers)—and their hours of toil lessened without at the same time lessening their wages. (Loud cheers.) He wished to see the working c'asses properly repre eeeted. They were the bone and sinew of the country, without whom our national greatness would eoon 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, bu', not otherwise. He had an inestimable advan tage there over the other candidate, for, not having been in Parliament, he had no bad votes to account for. He, however, now pledged them that he would support mea sures of reform and progress if returned, and he should be happy at all times to render them an account of his conduct as a pulite man. Two objections had been made to him. The first was his age. It was true he did not offer them the last days of a used-up man or a hackneyed statesman, but years that w ere va l ua bl e t o himself and friends , and which he bad no d o ubt wou ld b e found val ua bl e t o he electors. The other objection was that be was wealthy. So far from that being an objec tion it should be a recommendation, because in such a nopuleus borough as Lambeth, containing 250,000 inhabitants, there would be ample opportunity afforded him of devoting it to the advantage of his poorer brethren. A show of hands was then taken, which was in favour of Mr. R.iupill 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. SOUTHWARK. 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 ball, 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 com. menced great amusement was created by different parties in the crowd calling for " Three cheers for Napier 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. PRITCHARD, attended by Sir C. Napier, who wore a large number of honours o❑ 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 HIGII BAILIFF said they were assembled that day for the purpose of electing two persons to sit in Par liament for the borough of Southwark, Tiiere were three candidates for the honour, and he trusted the eiectors 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. (Loud cheers, and cries of " Yes, yes.") Mr. Vicißs seconded the nomination of Sir Charles Napier. Mr. T. POCOCK nominated Mr. Locke. Ho said he did not think it was 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 cheers, and cries of " He'll do, he'll no. Mr. T. MARTIN said it gave him great pleasure to second tho nomination of ➢Zr. Locke. Dr. CHALLIS then came forward to nominate Mr. A, Pellatt. At this moment the proceedings, which had been of a very noisy description, became perfectly up roarious, and the whele of the observations were lost amidst cries of " British Bank," "Turn him out," &c. The nomination c f Mr. Peltatt having been second( al, The HIGH BAILIFF called for a show cf hinds, which was in favour of Sir C. Napier and Mr. Locke. A poll was demanded, which will take place on Mon day. THE PROVINCES. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. At tho nominations for the following places to-day a poll wa4 demanded :—_ - Barnstaple—Mr R.

It is said that the conspiracy of the latter counted above 200 members." POETS' HEADS.-Sir Walter Scott's hat was always the smallest in any company he happened tobe in—the bead was pyramidal. Byron's was the same. Sir Charles Na • pier, in his diary, thus mentions his meeting with Byron:—" Lord Byron is still here—aiery good fellow, very pleasant, always laughing and joking. An American gave a very good account of him in the newsaperS, but said that his head was too large in proportion, which is not true. He dined with me the day before the paper arrived, and four or five of us tried to put on his hat, but none could ; he had the smallest head of all, and one of the smallest-I ever saw. He is very compassionate and kind to every one in distress." At the opening cf Burns's mausoleum in 1834, for the interment of his widow, the poet's skull was taken up and examined. Nine gentlemen were present, and every one tried his hat on the skull. Only one of the nine could cover it, and that was the hat of Mr. Thomas Carlyle.
