MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
at 5,C03 bales, including 1,000 for export and on speculation.
Tne market closed quietly.—Railway Shares were active at
advanced prices.
The Bank of England returns afford the strongest possible
evidence of the abundance of cash, as we have on former oc-
casions shown. In one week, it is true, 3,738,0001. was with-
drawn for the payment of official salaries and for dividends,
but of this 2,461,0001. was immer-Jely returned by the re-
cipients, chiefly bankers and cap' lists, aid placed to their
drawing ac-mnts. We find also a very marked diminution
in the discounts or loans, for PS bills run out fresh
applications in these days of plethora do not
come in, and loans, according to the usual prac-
tice, are repaid when the transfer books open. Another
item deserving of notice in the 3 returns is that of Govern-
ment securities. It is alwoys difficult to fathom precisely
the movements indicated by the rise or fall of the "Se-
curities," but the belief is, that the Bank has been a pur-
chaser of stock and Exchequer-bills lately, as well as a lender
on them. As to the bullion, it still increases, although in
consequence of the quarterly payments it is no longer on a
par with the note circulation, the last-named being more
than a million in excess. When we reflect, however, that
during three days this week, no less than 400,000/. in the
recious metals, and chiefly in gold, was received, we see no
present check to the increasa. The Australian advices by
the Overland Mail to the middle of April, as noticed yester-
day under this head, justify the expectation of a continued
large yield Of gold, and. California sends as much as ever to
the United States, a fair quota finding its way to Europe in
payment for merchandize. Silver has been rather more in
demand this week for exportation to the Continent and to
the East Indies, and all that arrived by the West India mail
steamer has been sold at an advance of Vs d. per ounce.
Compared with the previous return, the changes in the
Bank of England accounts are as follow:

There was a slight decline yesterday afternoon in the rates
billsfor of exchange upon the principal continental cities.
Par.

'2 Cl3/4 to 1 • liamburgh, 13 91/2 to 934 ; Frankfort, 12074
to 121; and Trieste, 12 4 to 111 8.
There are advices by a direct arrival from Port Philip to
March 25. The Overland Mail, yesterday, brought rather
later news, but the following may be interesting:—
" Gold has still further declined this week. The market
opened at last week's closing price, viz. 595., and during the
middle of the week it fell to 58s. It afterwards rallied to
58s. 6d. The cause of this slight advance in price was
Owing to the arrival of a number of purchasers from Adelaide,
who from their operations have tended to keep the price to
58:. 6d., at which it closed.
"Since the Witting out of Sydney as a profitable market
for some of our gold, caused by the stringent decision of the
banks as to the advance on and discount against gold, we have
had an unexpected field for speculation opened up to us
in Adelaide. There is a vast difference, however, in the
confidence of the parties operating for the Adelaidehich
market and those for the Sydney market, and w
indicates the degree of doubt that exists as to the confirm.
ance of the tempting lure held out to speculators by the
Assay and Bullion Act of South Australis. The principal
parchasers are from Adelaide, and all seem anxious to get
hold of gold, so as to forward it to realize the present tempt-
ing price of 68s. We can easily foresee the effects of such
prices, and the disappointment and loss that must inevit-
ably follow such a course as a Government stepping
forward to dictate to bankers and merchants
regu-
late and conduct their monetary matters. The quantity
to
of
gold that will be forced into the Adelaide market within the
next month or two will test the soundness of their views in
interfering with the currency. Already the tocsin of war has
sounded in the repudiation of the Act by the manager of
the branch of the Bank of Australasia at Adelaide.
The amount of bullion exported from London direct
during the week, to Thursday last, was 14,500 ounces of
silver, and 249601. in gold. the latter to the Cape of Good
'lope, the Mauritius, and Sydney.
The English Stock Market has been rather variable again.

quoted Dein to 5/4 for Transfer. and 100% 34 for Account.

Foreign Securities have been weak again in some in-
si,tances: Spanish Deferred have been 22% %. Brazilian

Stock is at 105% to 106. Austrian Scrip is firm at
premium. Mexican have fallen to 25% 'A, and since to
"41 to 2514. Dutch Four per Cents. are 971,4.
Railway Shares have been giving way. The speculators
for a fall commenced banging" the market yesterday after-
n"n• and have continued since, being most successful with
those that had previously experienced the greatest rise, in-
cluding Caledonian. Great Northern, Great Western, North-
Western, South:Western, Midland, and South-Eastern.
French Shares are dull.
Owing to the accounts from
discovererdne y,

inion
given by Mr. Hargreaves, the
tralia, that companies will not prove successful, the market
for Cruld Mines is flatter, especially British Australian. The
gold buying and refining companie.s, however, will be in a
different position.

MIDDLESEX ELECTION.

THE NOMINATION.-(THIS DAY.

(FROI OUR OWN REPORTER.)

The nomination of candidates for the large and influential
county of Middlesex took place this:morning, in front of the
Court House, Brentford. A tolerably extensive hustings
was erected in front of the Town Hall, and we must
do the Sheriffs the justice to say that they provided
ample accommodation for the representatives of the
Dress, presenting a strong contrast to the courtesy
of come other returning officers in that respect.
Our thanks are therefore due to Messrs. Millard and Hop-
wood, the Under-Sheriffs, who not only made every provi-
sion for our convenience and that of our colleagues, but to
please the good folks of Brentford, took care to have the
hustings so erected as to be viewed to the best possible ad-
vantage from the surrounding houses, the windows of which
were completely thronged with gaily-dressed ladies The
early part of the morning, however, was extremely
wet and uninviting, and the attendance of electors
was consequently far less numerous than might
otherwise have been expected. A strong body of
police, under the superintendence of several mounted
inspectors, were present to keep order, but the non-electors,
who are generally the most noisy on these occasions, conducted
themselves with exemplary decorum, and the duties of the
police were rendered much lighter than usual, and performed

fordGrosvenor on the Conservative side. Lord Robert Grosvenor
I arrived at the scene of the conflict first. Ile
came in an open carriage and four, accomp mied by Lord En-
field, Mr. Robert Hanbury, Hon. George Byng, AMP., and
Sir W. Sterling, and was received with universal cheering.
The Marquis of Blandford arrived next. The Noble Mar-
quis also came in an open carriage and four, preceded by a
number of mounted supporters, and a brass band playing
" See the Conquering Hero Comes." His reception was by
no means flattering, and although the Noble Marquis met the
groans and hisses of his opponents with a good•humoured
smile, he seemed glad to escape from the carriage to the
rear of the hustings. Mr. Bernal Osborne came last, in
an open carriage and four, accompanied by Mr. C. P. Vil-
liers and Mr. M. Milnes. The honourable Gentleman was
preceded by Mr. Hume, M.P., who rode alone in his own
private carriage, and who was greeted with a splendid dis-
play of enthusiasm on the part of the mob. An amusing
incident occurred just before the proceedings of the election
were commenced. A tall athletic labourer appeared on the
roof of one of the houses in front of the hustings, bearingot
his head a huge loaf; inscribed with the words "Free-trade”..
and Cheap Bread ! Grosvenor and Osborne for everl wonbhuie

electors of the county of Middlesex could exercise their
political rights with temper and propriety.—(Cheers.
Lord ENFIELD then came forward to propose Lord Robert
Grosvenor, and was received with loud cheers. He ad-
dressed the electors as brother freeholders, and he said
they could not exaggerate the importance of
the duty they were called upon to perform
on the crisis in which they were met.—(Hear,
hear.) Middlesex was the first county in the first
kingdom of the world, and contained within its limits a
metropolis that was unsurpassed for wealth or industry.—
(Hear, hear.) The commerce of the metropolis extended
itself to every part of the world, and her ships were found
upon every sea.—(Hear, hear.) She was equally remark-
able for her love of freedom, and the county of Middlesex
shared that love with her.—(Hear, hear.) The electors
should remember that they were met upon classic
ground. A century ago Mr. Wilks, on the very hustings
which they now occupied, defied an arbitrary Government,
and bearded an hostile Court— (Cheers)—while still later a
Whitbread vindicated the rights of the people on precisely
the same spot.—((sheers.) And yet still later the veteran
Hume--(Ch eers) - made another successful effort in
behalf of reform in the same place, and now they were
called upon to fight the battle of Free-trade in
Brentford.— (Cheers.) They bad now to decide between
protection and free trade. Marylebone and the city of
London had declared in favour of the latter, and he hoped
the c runty of Middlesex would follow their example.
(Cheers.) Lord Derby must not be allowed to remain in
possession of the citadel of free trade, for it could
not be expected that free trade could be safe
in the keeping of those who had free trade
on their tongues and protection on their hearts.—(Cheers.)
He, therefore, called upon them to return Lord Robert Gros.

a period of twenty-two years, and he could assure them that
the Noble Lord had always been foremost amongst those who
had to fight the battle of the people,—(Cheers.)
Noble Lord was renowned for his charity
had
love of liberty, and since the Noble Lord had
more than once served the attorneys he hoped the attorneys
would now show their gratitude, and assist the Noble Lord

resdc..
in this election gratuitously.—(Laughter and cheers.)
Mr. R. HANBUILY seconded the nomination, and in
the electors that when he proposed the Noble Lord
as m
a sec
cessor to Mr. Byng, he promised them that the Noble Lord
would be found a staunch supporter of the rights of the
people, and the local interests of the county—(Hear.) Now
he stoked them if that promise had been broken.—Gioi 110

Well, then, let them return the Noble Lord again, and they
would find the Noble Lord still ready to follow the courg

that he had hitherto pursued.—(Cheers.)
Mr. 'Junin then came fzrward toopose Mr. B. Osboin,
and was received with great checring. He said he had;
satisfactory duty to perform. Five years ago
ventured to recommend Mr. B. Osborne to
county, believing that his views agreed Wl"'
those of the majority of the freeholders.—(Hear, hear.)
To say that Mr. Osborne pleased every man would be pre'posterous, but the majority of the county agreed with 010
principles, and they took him upon this recommondation..,_.-'
(Cheers.) And he was rejoiced to say that since then !y•
Osborne had struggled hard in the cause of reform. I/
Hon. Gentleman had done his best to being shoo,
a reform both in Church and State; and although he 113'
now been a political agitator for more than half a century'
he had never met with a man who had done his work better
than Mr. Osborne.—(Cheers.) All his own life had been dor
voted to the cause of the people, and although he had bee.O
denounced as a destructive, he was satisfied that the Prinil:.
pies he advocated were the best calculated to preserve *
constitution.—(Cheers.) The Britah constitution W 33 13;

He had more faith in his tried servant Mr. B. Osborn!' se
he hoped the electors of Middlesex would go with hiw!tecf
that the Derby Government might be shown that the on,
people of the metropolis had no confidence in their

one of these, he earnes•ly urged then to return bins fast
