ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

Conn.—The first day's poli dosed with a majority, in
favour of the repeal candidate, of 21. At six o'clock the
numbers stood thus:—For Dr. Power, 241; for Leader, 220
—majority for Power, 21. Leader maintained thelead up to
half-past tour o'clock, when the oonservative strength having
abated, the liberals made a rush and secured a majority. The
Blackness of the poll during the day is accounted for by the
necessary presence of the liberal electors of the surrounding
district at a great cattle fair iu the neighbourhood of Ban-
don. They were expected to come up yesterday in large
mambas.

LiALlFAX.—mere are now live candidates in the field for
the representation of this borough, though scarcely a fort-
night ago it was thought there would be a walk over. The
two sitting members, Sir Chas. Wood and Mr. Protheroe
offer again, the Antiatate Educationists have called forward
Mr. E. Miall ; and the radical section of the electors have
resolved to support Mr. E Jones, a barrister. Mr. H.
Edwards, a resident in the neighbourhood, possessing cow
sidemble local influence, has also offered on the conserve.
tire interest; and it is not improbable that he and the Chan-
' cellor of the Exchequer may be returned.

COCKBANB.—e friends of Mr. Cochrane &INTIM
bled in large numbers, yesterday, at the Hanover
equere Rooms, to hear from that gentleman a "politi-
cal address, as candidate for their suffrages, and also •
refutation of certain attacks upon his character and con-
duct. The meeting assembled in pursuance of a resolution
recently passed by his committee, who considered such ex-
planation due. Lariat preparations bad been made ; the
room was decorated with banners and devices, among which
one dedicated to "The Queen and the Ladies ' was elo-
quently conspicuous. Nor was the compliment misplaced,
for the larger portion of the assembly—with which the room
was completely tilled—appeared to consist of that sex. Mr.
Hallett having been voted into the chair, Mr. Cochrane cora-
-1 menced his address. It related principally to Mr. Cochrane's
permaal career, from the age of 13 down to the present
I time, and its tendency was to negative the slanders which
bad gone abroad respecting him. The political portion of
the address was of a character similar to others which have
been repeatedly recorded by the public journal. At its con-
clusion, an attempt was made by a person present to 'peak
in reply, a comae which was, however, disallowed by the
meeting, who passed thereupon a vote of unqualified confi-
dence in Mr. Cochrane as their representative. The pro-
ceedings concluded by three cheers for Mr. Cochrane, and •
similar compliment to the ladies—a portion of the commu-
nity with whom that gentleman seems to have the happi-
ness of being perpetually associated.

VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.—A private letter from
• mercantile gentleman, of good standing in Hobert Town,
dated the 9th of last December, expresses briefly and pithily
the then prevailing sentiments of the colony:—" We are
anxiously looking for the arrival of our new governor, who,
it is expected, will bring out with him directions for • total
reform in the prison discipline of this place, and, it is to be
hoped, the abolition of the probation system, which has not
only been the ruse of the colony, but has also, instead of
reforming, plunged still further in crime and misery the un-
fortunate convicts."

DUBLIN, Ilex 4.
Unpleasant sTmptoms are again apparent in the
state of his Excellency Lord Besborough's health.
The cessation of the favourable progress occurred last
night, and the utmost alarm is now felt by all his
friends—an alarm which fully justifies the accounts I
have added from time to time to the official notifica-

SCOTLAND.

EDINBTJRGH, Aram 29.

The vague way in which Mr.Wstaon questioned the
Lord Advocate with regard to fees said to be received
by Scotch.judges renders it difficult to say what the
precise drift of the member for Kinsale was. A *hart
time ago, Lord Robertson was asked to arbitrate be-
tween certain proprietors and the Clyde Trustees,
Glasgow, when the award of his lordship caused great
dissatisfaction to the latter body, who gave expres-
sion to their feelings without overmuch delicacy.
The arbitration would necessarily involve expense,
but we are not aware that a fee to the judge formed
one of the items—nor indeed can we say that this is
the cue Mr. Watson had in his eye.
Mr. G. S. Duff has addressed a letter to the electors
of the Elgin burghs, announcing his intention of
standing, and also asking them to demand from Sir
A. L. Hay, the present member, a distinct reply " as
to which party he looks for support," and this he
asks in consequence of " a rumour that the pliant
knight has secured the support of the party to which
he has been so long opposed."

DUBLIN, APRIL 29.
The following bulletin respecting the health of his
Excellency was issued thin morning, signed by the
Surgeon-General and Dr. Purcell, the family phy-
sician : " Ills Excellency passed a tranquil night, and
his breathing is much relieved this morning. The
general symptoms, however, are much the same as
yesterday." The reply in answer to inquiries at the
Castle this afternoon was that the symptoms conti-
nued unchanged. There is, however, no hope of re-
covery.
The Evening Post announces that Captain Burke,
of Marble-hill, the son of Sir John, will stand for the
county, and will be unopposed.
The northern journals complain of the mode in
which the seed supplies, forwarded by the British
Relief Association have been disposed of. The
southern papers re-echo the complaint, and the
Western Representative, received to-day, harps on the
same string. If the following facts be cornet,
there is a prirnii facie case of undue precipitation
in the discharge of the cargo. The Dragon steamer
anchored in Galway Lay on the 18th, with a supply of
seed oats for farmers, at Is. M. per stone. Oa Tues-
day, the 20th, circulars were sent by post to the
neighbouring farmers and gentry. Many of these
could not have reached before Wednesday, so that the
applications could not have been before Thursday.
" Yet, on Wednesday afternoon," eays the Galway
Vindicator, "the cargo was safely deposited in the
stores of one of our private merchants." It should,
however, be remembered, that the Dragon was ex-
pected long before, and if parties wished to avail
themselves of her cargo, they might personally, or by
order, be relieved on application. They now complain
when visited with the consequence of their own
negligence.

ma hardly credit this statement, whoa I find in the same
journal that ks bad resided in the emu place for the last
thirty years. It was rather late, therefore, to and anti.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY. Four o'Clock.
According to the last accounts from Constantinople,
to the 19th ult., the state of relations with Persia en-
gaged the special attention of the Porte. The Shah was
Still collecting forces at Teheran, with a hostile pur-
pose, which was rather inferred than avowed ; and it
was understood that he had sent emissaries into Kur-
disthan, offering the rebels facilities for maintain-
ing the revolt. In this direction matters were
sufficiently gloomy, but from another quarter ac-
counts were of a more satisfactory kind.; Intelligence
had reached the Porte of a victory obtained by the
Turkish troops over the insurgents in Bosnia, who
were completely routed, with the loss of 100 killed,
and 300 taken prisoners, the remains of the rebel force
taking refuge on the Austrian frontier. Among those
captured were several influential chiefs, some of
whom were shot, and the rest sent to the
capital, where they will be incarcerated in
the Bagnio for life. The leader of this
revolt was an Albanian, of Hike, named I‘lahmond,
who, with some 500 followers, gave himself
up to pillage, and was for a long while the terror of
the whole province, attacking villages, forcibly raising
contributions, and murdering, indiscriminately, all
who resisted him. About the middle of September he
laid a heavy fine on the city of Trikora, and on the
refusal of the inhabitants to accede to his demands,
he *ortured and murdered several primates and three
mollahs. The audacity of this chief finally rose to such
a pitch that the immediate attention of the government
was required, and Halil Kiamil Pacha, at the head of
3,000 Albanian troops, advanced against him. The
result was a battle fought at Dohrina and the victory
over the insurgents above noticed. The correspondent
of a contemporary, to whom we are indebted for this
news, attributes the revolts in Bosnia and Kurtlisthan
and the hostile attitude assumed by Persia, to the
secret influence of Russian intrigue.

WOOL.

HUDDERSFIELD, JAN. demand for Wool
has not at all increased during the past week. Indeed, the
unprecedented rase in the staple articles of burn in food, has
cast a gloom over the markets in this districts. The distress
of Ireland is now found to be more general, and of a deeper
character than was at onetime believed to be, and this operates
very severely upon our home trade. Prices however remain
firm, in anticipation of something being done in manufac-
tured goods to America.

MANUFAI

I RES.

HUDDERSFIELD, JAN. s.—This market opens very
poorly for the new year, for we can by no means report so
favourably this week as we bad the pleasure of doing last.
Very little has been done today in any kind of goods ; but
we may, perhaps, be allowed to say, that the dulness of the
day has had coma- rabic effect in keeping the merchants
from the Piece-hall this morning, for it has been dull and
dark during the whole day. There has been rather more
doing in the warehouses the last few days, but all purchases
are for immediate use.

SALISBURY, JAN. U.—Some tone were pitched in
the market this day. The best Somerset', 665. to 70s. per
cwt. ; double Wilts and Gloucester, 58s. to 65s • dark,
to 561. ; common Dorset, 465. ; inferior, 365. ; skim, 30s.

SKINS.

SALIABCRY, JAN. S.—Best Dawn Skins, 46. to
4s. 6d. each ; inferior, 3s to 3a. 6d.; Leicester's, or Cottawold,
from 4s. to ss. ; horn do., 3s. 9d. to 4,. 3d. Market Hides
all at one price ; weighing from 501 b. to 901 b. each, 20.
per lb., being less than half the Lnndon prices. Calf Skins,
41d. per lb., or 65., if weighty. Hone Hides, from 7s. to 11,.
each.

•
CATTLE, &c.
LrvEaPooL, JAN. s.—The supply of stock at our
market to-day hay been lager than last week, the principal
portion of second-rate and inferior quality ; anything good
eagerly sought alter, and sold at high prices ; the remainder
met with dull sale. Beef, bid. to 60., and Mutton, 61d. to
to 71d. per lb.

SALISSVRT, JAY. s.—There were between three
and four hundred Beasts for rale this day. Some in good
marketable condition were purchased by London dealers at
the prime of last market day, prime Oxen fetching 4.. per
%tone of 81b.; inferior Beasts, 3s. 4d. to 3s. Sd. Coarse, in-
ferior Sheep, 4s. ; second quality, 4s. 4d. ; prime South
Downs, ss. ; superior 2-tooth and 4-tooth, ss. 4d. There
were some good Calves, which sold at from 4s. Bd. to ss. ;
sucking Calves, at from 20s. to 25e. each. Fat bacon Hogs,
large and coarse, Bs. 6d. to 9.. per score; best quality, 10r. ;
neat small l'orkers, 10s. 6d. to I Is.

'hie H ARVEST. —M I D-K EN T.—The hiuirest through-
out is now nearly completed, and we are thankful to say
that the crops are excellent, and that they hare been housed
under the most favourable circumstances. Whether the

—s.
farmer's return will be commensurate with his produce ie
another question; grime apprehensions exist that prices will
not be remunerative.

oar last the weather has been

favourahletolh; ingathering of the Crops. Great quantities
of wheat and oats have been secured in excellent condition
in South Lancashire, and large breadths are now fit
for carrying. The bulk of the corn harvest may now be
considered safe. By the end of the week the fields will
be clear in all casts where there bee been ordinary
diligence in securing the crops. As far aa we can
judge from observation, and hear from inquiry, we
believe that the wheat crop is fair in quantity, anti excellent
in quality, whilst that of on.. is ',itch more than en
avenge, and in excellent condition. Barley is toe little
grown in this part of the country to afford us the means
of judging of it from extensive observation, but the reports
from other parts of the country are very favourable. Beans
are everywhere either a total failure or a very email crop.
The gram crops of Lancashire as • whole are very good,
both en to quantity and quality. With regard to the green
crops, we have to report as follows Mangelwurzel, which
is beginning to be grown to an extent proportioned to its
value, is a splendid crop. Swedish turnips are very fine,
and in general healthy. Yellow turnips have grown luxu-
riantly, but are losing their colour. Potatoes are a fine
cep.but extensively diseased. The severity of the disease
vanes greatly, being in some places almost confined to the
leaves and stem, en others extremely destructive to tlis ,
roots.—Licsrpool

COMMERCIAL et MARKETS.
London, England, 1847-10-18

RAILWAY NEWS.

On Saturday the market showed symptoms of im-
provement. Speculatively, buyers were not wanting,
but at limits of price not yet to be realised. The
paents of dividends, however, have brought the
public in, for small quantities of shares individually it
is true ; but we know, on sufficient authority, that
sharebrokers have seldom been more busy in better
times in passing names for investment. The small
capitalists have evidently the sound judgment to
think and act for themselves in the midst of all the
monetary confusion that now exists. The settlement
of accounts passed over without difficulty.

MONEY MARKET.

SATI"RDAY EVIIIMIg.

The tendency of the funds has continued in decline
to-day, but the business was chiefly confined to the
smelter class of speculators. A considerable purchase
of Consols was indeed reported in the early part of
the day by a broker, usually acting for a great Hebrew
capitalist house, but on subsequent inquiry the fact
was not substantiated. Consols opened at 81 to 1
money, and 81,1 to 1 for the account. After various
fluctuations to and again they left off 80 to; money,
and 81.7, to 1 for account. The market was compare-
-1 tively a quiet one, and of what may be termed no
very decided colour. Reduced Threes were 791 to 80.
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 801 to 1 ; Exchequer
Bills, 20e. to 15s. discount ; India Bonds, 255. to
20s. discount ; Long Annuities, 81 to 3-16 ; Bank
Stock, 180 to 2; India Stock, 223 to 5.
The foreign market, beyond some forced sales for
the exigencies of holders, was little dealt in. Mexi-
can were 17 to 18 for money, but done for Account at
171 to 18. Brazilian 73 to 3. Portuguese 20 to 1,
although the bonds commanded higher prices at Am-
sterdam and Frankfort. Spanish Fives 161 to 17i,
the Threes 26 to 7. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
521 to 31t, the Fours 81 to 2. The settlement has
been quite an inconsiderable affair.
The stoppage of Messrs. Fred. Barnes and Co.,
merchants in the hardware trade, was announced to-
day. It is understood that the liabilities are not of
any serious amount. The esteem in which the par-
ties are held has caused much regret for this unfor-
tunate event. The suspension sf the Abingdon bank
of Messrs. Knapp and Co., also comes confirmed.
The reports brought by the Britannia steam-packet,
from New York, were read favourably, both iit the
monetary and financial senile. The money market
was easy, and commercial affairs unembarrassed by
any particular casualties. Exchange on England at
8i to 1, did not promise shipments of gold to this
quarter to any extent. It is to be observed, however,
that at the date of these advices, the worse accounts
from hence had not been received.

At the meeting of the creditors of Nlems. Lyall,
Brothers and Co., the following balance sheet was laid
before them:

Vbe Drama.

HAT.asitart.—At this theatre on Sattutlay CUM-
lag, after " London Avurance," in which Mrs. NL,bett
sparkled with her usual vivacity, and Mr. Henry Farren ex-
hibited considerable improvement, a new farce was pre.eated
under the title of " Who's my Husband ?" The plot is
alight, as that of a farce should be, and the absurdity con-
siderable, but the dialogue is smart and humorous, not as in
many modern farces, a mere thread on which to hang the
situations. Almost the entire burthen of the fun lay upon
Keeley, but he bore it like a small Atlas. In the village in
which he figures as Daniel Tootles, a druggist's shopman,
lives a mysterious lady whose name is a combination of those
exceedingly rare appellations, Smith and Thompson. „Airs.
Smalls Thompson (Mrs. Clifford), having some 10 years pre.
viously married a smoggling captain, was separated from her
husband on the wedding-day so suddenly as to be quite in
the dark as to his identity, and had ever since lived in seclu-
sion on a pittance of which Daniel, without knowing the
real paymaster, is the hebdomadal medium of payment. His
visits to the widow provoke the jealousy of his master's
daughter, to whom he is about to be married, while on
the other hand, Mrs. Smith Thompson, who thinks
ho knows all about her husband, follows him every.
wkere, and resters him with inquiries. The ludicrous
perplexities arising out of such a situation, in the hands of
Keeley, may be easily imagined. He raves, dances, pretests,
fights, and goes mad through all the stages of comic misery of
which he is the unrivalled delinea,or. To Mrs. Smifh
Thompson, in reply to her frantic inquiries of " Who's my
husband ?" he suggests an application to Joseph Ady ; and
to the fair one he protests that he only pays "a certain
weekly pittance," with an air of indignant virtue which
kept the house in continuous laughter. His perplexities are
at length removed by the return of the smuggling captain,
who, under the protection of a pardon, comes to claim his
wife : and all parties are made happy niter the usual fashion.
The farce was successful, and was announced by the hero for
repetition " every evening until further notice." The even-
ing's entertainments terminated with Mr. Oxenford's suc-
cessful farce of " Twice Killed."

MONEY MARKET.

TUESDAY EVIIWING.
The stock market has gone rather wild to-day, as
it went wild before in the contrary direction. Prices
have been advanced by speculation beyond measure,
and they have received a salutary check ; perhaps they
may receive a ter check still. The mischief can-
not be re • in a day, and credit depressed or anni-
hilated by injudicious legislation for so long a time can
recover slowly and gradually only to be secure, al-
though in the interim there may be irregular mo-
ments of excitement, when it shall overleap its boanda.
We have had Consols to-day at 84j for account, a
rise scarcely justifiable under the circumstances; they
have left off more modestly at 831 to j for money,
and 83k to for account. Reduced Threes, 82i to 3 ;

any ccaution amoi:g our merchant.. The resolution of
the Bank of Bdgium not to discount bills which run at
a longer rate than thirty days causel great dissatisfaction, as
being amm asure wholly uncalled for. The Bank of Bel-
gium, whieh may be considered as the Bank of Brussels, for
its operations do not actually exten•l much beyond the extent
of the city, bears in mind the crisis of 1133, and the cata-
strophe which it then expetieaced has made it more careful.
The large bank, Sxiete Generale has nut followed its exam-
ple, but continues to discount at long sight.
liamnuno, OCT. 22.—The week was commenced under a
considerable depression in the money market, and although
discount, which was at 7 per cent., fell to 61 or 6, yet there is
still agreat scarcity of money. It is true that the failures in
Great Br:taia have continued to affect us but little either
directly or indirectly, and reports of expected failures in the
East have hitherto proved false alarms, yet extreme caution
is now manifested in business, and more money is kept back
than is actually requisite to meet present demands. The ex
change upon England has risen in proportion to the London
Banco cones, and with it the value of gold has risen, which
has induced us to send our gold to England. The state of
things in Great Britain still continues to appear very critical,
and there is no prospect that they will return to their former
state so soon as was expected ; nor does it yet appear that the
Bank will come forward to help the merchants at
this juncture. Nevertheless,. there can be no doubt
that all will soon return gradually to a better
state of thing', since there is a sound basis; and
meanwhile it will be well for is to examine the causes why,
in this general catastrophe, our city ha, maintained its soli-
dity, aid recognise in the unfettered freedom of our trade
and commerce a main-spring of our security. At the same
time let us inquire whether this be not the time for extend.
