MONEY and COMMERCIAL
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 2,000 bates at previous rates.—Rail'ial
Shares were inactive.
The Cape of Good Hope news is considered to be let
favourable than that previously received; but no doubtF
entertained of an eventual successful issu©.
The rates at which Foreign Bills of Exchange were
~,
negotiated yesterday afternoon exhibited a sligbtr
s compared with last post-day. Parl so
90 days were taken at 25 521 to 55, Amsterdam 12
Hamburgh at 13 91 to 10, and Trieste 12 to 19 6'
The following is from the Circular of Dies°o,

" COTTON.—Our lust review was dated the 15441
May. During the four weeks elap the
sed our market P
undergone a very material change; speculation and 00
necessity of filling freight engagements enabled faci.,o
to advance their prices, and the favourable accounts fr..uas
Europe coming to hand in the meantime, reporting
sales in Liverpool every week, with steady thoet,
slowly advancing prices, and expressing the utmost o°,
fidence in the article, reg.ardlees of the present or tu4
growing crop, could only contribute to
stregthen then,
,
in their position. All descriptions have been in fair red
quest, the better qualities especially so being wathe
for Spain and France; and owing to their searcen-'„ all grades above middling have continued advancing,
grad
dependent of slight fluctuations which the lower grill P-f
have been subject to. Even running lots command verA
full rates, and vre hear of sales of strictly middlings,
10k; good middling at 11 to 1 lie. Our quotations
_,°°; low may be considered as merely nominal, as prices wo
extremely irregular. For some time the business w
entirely in the hands of speculators; it seems, however'.be
that they have retired now from the market, and
late purchases are made for shipment to Great Brittaf)f
France, and Spain. The market closes very firm tiPli
tending upwards. Our stock for sale is reduced to
very email figure, and the receipts in our port are quite
et,
insignificant; only a limited quantity is expected lif
and the season promises to close at an unusually earl
date. With regard to the growing crop, we can o'9o
that the same promises well the weather having bee,o that could be desired. Ie Louisiana, as well as in ee
sissippi, they have had blooms on various plantationswi
the last week of the past month, which is very earl
in other sections of the country the plant is said te,..s
in rather a backward state. The receipts during the Teo
four weeks were 45,568 bales, and the sales 33,000 blot,
during the first; 16,500 during the second; 14,000 11(1.,4 ing the last; and 22,250 bales this week. Latest deter

THE ELECTIONS.

(THIS DAY.)

WESTMINSTER.
T• he nomination of candidates for the extensivethe
hustings
of Westminster took place this morning on the
austings erected in front of St. Paul's, Covent-garden.a.d
The attendance was exceedingly numerous,. the” la 1
aat:one party mustering in great force, " sporting a large
rplay of colours and
thaneglori in a couple of Tery noisy
erase
the bands. A ;Jody of division of police, under
able superintendence of Mr. Pierce, were present and
kept as much order as was possible under the eircum-
Btaaces, displaying a remarkable degree of good humour
and tact iu the discharge of their difficult duties.
Twelve o'clock had been fixed by the High B
°,ll3ellleg the proceedings of the day, and astahieliffhoftiorr
drew near the various approaches to the hustings
sleame completely choked up with the supporters
the different parties in the field, namely,
Sir De Lacy Evans, Sir John Shelley, Lord Maidstone,
and Mr. Coningham. The hustings were divided into
compartments, one of which was allotted to either side,
and there was consequently very little confusion. Sir
1)8 Lacy Evans and Lord Maidstone presented them-
selves in front of the hustings together, and while the
former was greeted with manifestations of disapproba-
tec on the part of the " unsoaped," the latter was re-
"lved with vociferous cheering. Something was said
about the Gallant Candidate having at one period of his
cereer been a hired slaughterer, and the interval be-
tween the arrival of the candidates and that of the High
Bailordiff was filled up with repeated " Three cheers for
L Maidstone." at this Nothing was said about Coningham;
•
et e,„,t,uce he had not arrived, but when he did come
atte-Zedulb g'cat style, the Honourable Candidate being
showy sPn
tromendous array of hard fisted supporters,
of ee and d a coule of
amateur
bends.
Y
took up bands fllSesLacybanners, Evans and Sir J. Shelley
whaler DOsition on the left of the returning officer,
rt leLrd rilitidetone and Mr. Coningham were on the
eus. Mr. Coningham, who came in an open carriage,
o"ad some difficulty in escaping from the fond embraces
swarthy admirers; but by dint of a good deal of shout-
g, pushiug, and crushing, the Hon. Gentleman got
safely landed on the hustings. At twelve o'clock pre-
cisely Mr. F. Smedley, the High Bailiff of Westminster,
advanced to the front of the hustings, and went through
the
writ, abutfr thality
is of
was p readingurely a the Bribe
m atryter Ac
ot and the
f dumb
show. At the close of the ceremony the
High Bailiff addressed the electors upon the importance
of the privilege they were called upon to exercise, but if
the electors heard no more of the returning officer's
Speech than caught the ear of our reporter, it must have
had very little effect upon them, as indeed appeared to
be the case, judging from the uproar they kept up.
Dr. BAINBRIDGE, at the close of the High Bailiff's
address, came forward to propose Sir De Lacy Evans,
but scarcely a word that he uttered could be heard. He
was understood, however, to urge the claims of
the Hon. and Gallant General as a consistent
reformer, and one who had done his utmost to
promote the interest of Westminster. His
votes, the mover remarked, would bear the strictest
scrutiny, and he hoped the electors would once more
honour him'with their confidence.
Mr. LE-wes, of the Strand, seconded the nomination
of Sir Do Lacy, and contended amidst continued confu-
sion that they ought not todischarge an honest and faith-
ful servant, as the Honourable and Gallant General
Evans proved himself to be, and he had no fears that
he would be returned at the head of the poll, should the
other side be rash enough to push the contest to that
Point.—(oh, oh.)
Mr. DEESEN nominated Sir John Shelley, but being a
weak-voiced man, not a word was to be collected
from a ten minutes' eddress.
• Mr. NELION seconded the nomination.
Mr. MILLER stood forward as one of the trading corn-
to
to-
uchy, to propose Lord Maidstone, and said he
had every reason to believe that the Noble Lord
Would be returned at the head of the
OF
this he was ccnvinced, that the Noble Lord if
1" 'Was returned, would vote for nothing which was not
Abe good of the people, and our Protestant country.

support only such measures as were good,
and would take care that the country should not be in-
sulted by a foreign potentate.—(Cheers.) If the electors
did their duty to themselves and the country they would
send Lord Maidstone to serve as their representative
in the next Parliament.—(llear, hear.)
Sir CeutatLes Alma next proposed Mr. Coningham
as a min of the people, but the people did not seem to
thick so, or they would have honoured his proposer
with a little more respectful attention. Mr. Coningham,
however, as far as we could elicit from his proposer's
speech, was in favour of free trade, a supporter of Par.
liamentary reform, the ballot, and triennial Parliaments.
He was also a friend of Church and State, and it the
electors of Westminster wished to uphold that institu-
tion in an efficient manner, they would vote without he-
sitation for Coningham and the rights of the people.
Mr. GEORGE DAvas, a Westminster tradesman, se-
conded Mr. Coningham's nomination, and contented
himself with simply doing so without wasting his breath
upon a noisy and inattentive audience.
There being no other candidate to be proposed,
Sir DE LACY EVANS presented himself to the electors,
hat in hand, but he was received with such an outburst
othowling and shouting that it was impossible to hear a
word he said. We collected, however, sufficient from his
.brief address to understand that in his own opinion he
had ,always faithfully endeavoured to discharge the
duties which the electors had hitherto imposed upon him.
He had carefully attended to their local rights, and had
only voted for such general measures as he thought best
'calculated to further the interests of the community
at large. He had, therefore, no hesitation in now asking
them for a renewal of their confidence, and he should
retire from the scene before him in the
full hope that to-
morro
the In w he shonle ld be returned at the head of the poll.
midd of the Hon. and Gallant General's ad-
dress the weather-beaten veto raubearing the cross of
the Spanish Legion, and attired in a dilapidated suit of
regimentals, was hoisted on the heads of the people in
font of the tin steel
exlimisted by . The poor fellow, who appeared
he se the exertions his friends were
imposing on him, interrupted the Hon. and Gallant
Cieneral's address with this demand, " Where is my
pension after 20 years' service?"
The lion. and Gallant General smiled blandly upon
the poor wretch, and made some reply to the hint about
the pension, but the mob became so exasperated that his
speech was eonculdecl in dumb show. Ho promised to
advocate the rights of the electors and to endeavour to
extend their privilege, and with that declaration he took
leave for the present of the boisterous electors.
Sir Jour; SHELLEY presented himself next, and ob-
tained a liberally
be W 416 fair hearing He said, if he was re-
turnedprepered to uphold the rights of the
,ple, and to support the constitution against all at-
tucks, whether Irons within or without. He would vote
for parliamentary reform, residtntal suffrage,
and every
other measure that Was calculated to promote
civil or
religious lib' rty, no matter frem what quarter the 'flea.
Surenan came•—(Cheers.) He would take care, too, that the
tenant tattnets were 310
.
longed balaboehled by pro-

tection, and ho would not cease to agitat a, if he got
into Parliament, until free-trade was fully developed
and carried out.—(Cheers.) He asked wl sere were the
Protectionists now? Nowhere, nd why v rare they no-
where, why simply because the symp: ithies of the
people were not with them.—(Cheers,) Hie noble op-
ponent did not want for the support of th a fair sex, for
he saw before him a great number of lat lies in the bal-
conies of the market " sporting" the Noble Lord's
colours, but he hoped these fair cream!: es would take
care not to coerce their perfumer or draper if he
happened to vote for him,—(Cheers and laughter.) He
was for a fair, open, stand-up fight, a clear stage, and
no favour, that was what he wanted, give him that and
he did not fear the result.—(Cheers.) rfhere were as
good men out of office as in, and only let him get into
the House and he would take care that the interests of
Westminster were not neglected by either side.
Lord MAIDSTONE addressed the ele, ators amidst re-
newed uproar. He said he was rejoiced to find that the
only argument that could be brought against him was
that the ladies were in his favour.—(llear, hear.) He
appeared there as the supporters of toe cause of order.
The country did not want Socialism or Red Republi-
canism, but an honest and fair Goverrenent.—(Cheers.)
Don't find fault with Lord Derby until you see what
the present Government intended to do, for the country.
The Whigs went to pieces like a rope of sand, through
their own imbecility, and left office, leaving the country
the Kafir war as a legacy.—(Oh, oh.) He warned the
elactore not to be led sway by those specious principles
which had worked the ruin of France; and he called
upon them to support those who would perform what
they promised.—(Hear.) Ho was as independent as
any one of his honourable opponents, and if they
returned him to Parliament he should only vote
for Lord Derby so long as the measures he proposed were
good.—(Cheers.) The Tories were fetid to be opposed
to the people, but it was no such thing, and he hoped
Westminster would confirm that opinion by returning
hi m. —(Ch eers.)
Mr. CONINGSAM was received with much cheering.
It was said he came forward to divide and injure. Ho
c nlainly had not come forward to divide, but certainly
to conquer.—(Cheers.) He was convinced he should
stand at the top of the poll to-morrow,—(Cheers.) Lord
Maidstone asked what was there after Lord Derby but
the deluge; but he warned them that after Lord
Derby they might again have the Whig happy
family—(A laugh)—which be did not wish
ever to see.---(Cheers.) Too long had Westminster
been made the tool of a few, and he had come forward
as the liberator of Westminster, which in days of old
was a staunch supporter of manhood suffrage, and not
the franchise which attached to bricks
.and snorter.—
(Cheers.) Thus it was that Charles James Fox strug-
gled, and if they returned him he should endeavour to
tollow in that great statesman's footsteps.—(Cheers.)
He wanted to see every man armed with the fran-
chise, and protected with the seeresy of the ballot.—
(Cheers.) Lord John Russell yesterday evaded these
questions, and therefore he said the Noble Lord
was not fit to be the leader of a party.—(Cheers.) For
his own part, he was in favour of manhood suffrage,
and for annual Parliaments, but the latter question was
not, like the former, one of principle but of detail; and
he should never allow that to stand in the way of his
voting for any good measure of Parliamentary reform.
—(Cheers.) As he was in favour of manhood suffrage,
so he was a supporter of equal electoral districts, and
in favour of the development of free trade throughout
the whole of our commercial systero.—(Cheers.) Free
trade in bread very properly cases first, but there
was also free trade in knowledge:—(Great cheering.)
First fill the bread-basket and then the knowledge-
box.—(Cheers and laughter.) Free trade was as wide
as the world, and as time advanced so it would spread
until the happiness of the people was complete.—
(Cheers.) America was far in advance of us, and far
beyond Fronce, where the country was governed, not by
the enlightened wishes of the people, but by the power
of the sword.—(Cheers.) Louis Napoleon the little
never could have made the coup de dtat that he did in
December last had universal suffrage prevailed, or had
the Legislative Assembly, which was elected by uni-
versal suffrage, stood true to their colours and
pledges.—(Cheers.) He went beyond the Man-
chester school in his notions of freedom, and
he hoped Westminster, by returning him, would show
the world, not alone the country, the way to freedom;
and he called upon the electors to let their cry to-morrow
be—Manhood suffrage, and no surrender!—(Cheers.)
The show of hands was then taken. There were very
few held up for Evans and Maidstone, but a large
number for Shelley, and a complete forest for Co-
ning ham.

The HIGH BAILIFF declared the election, according
to the show of hands, to be in favour of Sir John
Shelley and Mr. Coningham.
A poll was immediately demanded on behalf of Sir
De Lacy Evans, and it was appointed to be opened to-
morrow at eight o'clock.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the High
Bailiff, and the proceedings terminated, as they began,
amidst a scene of uproar and confusion, shortly before
two o'clock.
