REPRESENTATION OF LAiiTBETH•

A meeting of Mr. Tennysoi D'Eyncourt's Committee toot
place last evening at the Elephant and Castle, at which Mr.
D'Eyncuurt attended.
SAMUEL PALMER, Esq. in the Chair.
The subject of a coalition in the Committee with that of
Mr. Hawes was taken into consideration, and although there
was an unanimous desire on the part of Mr. D'Eyneourt's
friends to use every exertion to promote the success of Mr.
Hawes, the scheme of a coalition being considered to be im-
practicable, was abandoned. Although this union of action
between the friends of the two Liberal candidates cannot be
effected, there can be no doubt that the friends of Mr.
Hawes will respond to the friendly disposition evinced by the
supporters of Mr. D'Eyncourt in favour of Mr. Hawes, and
that no injury win result to the Liberal interest from this ne-
cessary division of labour on the part of the Liberal consti-
tuency of Lambeth. The necessary arrangements for can-
vassing the borough were then entera upon, and considerable
progress made in the necessary detailsfor effecting that object.

contest.
The same local organ of the Tories has also the following
not over-veracious observations, amongst others, relating to
the elections :—" With the utmost congeniality of opinion,
we refer to the highly appropriate appeals to their constituents
from Lord Henniker and Sir Charles Broke Vere, the pre-
sent, and it may be confidently anticipated, the future Mem-
bers of Parliament for the Eastern Division of Suffolk.
" The canvass for Mr. Baring the Member for Yarmouth,
and Mr. Gambier, the other Conservative candidate for the
Borough, which commenced on Wednesday last for those two
gentlemen has been attended with unequalled success.
" Accounts from all parts of the Western Division of Norfolk
agree as to the proud position attained on the canvass by
Messrs. Bagge and Chute."
BATH.—We do not dissent from the opinion that canvassing
is an irrational practice, and that the electors ought to be
left to their own unbiassed conclusions ; but we must be per-
mitted to doubt the consequence which the Bath Herald,
Captain &obell's untired advocate, has pinned to the contin-
gency, viz. that the aforesaid Captain would be promoted to
a seat in St. atephens,*as one of the representatives of Bath.
He deserves no distinction, nor do we think he will obtain it.
SOUTH NOTTINGIIAMSIIIRE. Lord Lincoln, through the
powerful influence of his father, and of the other noble land-
ownars of the county, reigns paramount here, and his election
is without doubt, Take away the tenant voters, and let the
election depend upon freeholders and copyholders, the case
would then be materially altered. The independent voters,
are bewever increasing, and we do not despair, by attention to
the registry, of even South Nottinghamshire being rescued
from its present dege44e4 state of thraldom. Mr. Denison and
Colonel Rolleston are beating the bufhes for votes, and which
will be second Member, time alone can show,
NORTH NOTVOPHAMSHIRE.—Mr. Foljambe's canvass is sa-
tisfactory. The rane will lie between Knight and the eloquent
cotton-spinner (the Duke's nominee), and it matters not a
rush to the Reformers which of the two " goes to the wall 1"
BURY.—Sergeant Spankie is the Tory candidate. The
Learned Gentleman, we beg to tell him, need not lay the
flattering unction to his soul, vainly supposing that his eloquent
talk about Mother Church, the C. Priltitution, and other catch-
words, which the Conservatives employ Its stalking-horses,
will be sufficient to drive out Mr. Walker from the borough
which he has so faithfully represented.
BARNSTAPLE.—Mr. Chichester has a rival in the person of
the well-known Mr. Gompertz. A contemporary says,
Barnstaple Tories who may wish-to give Mr. Gompertz a vote,
will find that gentleman at No. 6, Portland-place, Borough-
road, near (and within the rules of) the King's Bench prison,
where he is always to be found at home."
NEWARK.—As far as we at present know, there is no pro-
bability of a contest in this borough : no one having been an-
nounced in opposition to the present Members.
ReTeoere—We are happy to state, that a Liberal candi-
date is likely to come into the field, although we are not yet
able to announce his name.
BoLroN.—There is no talk of the Conservatives bringing
forward a second candidate at present. No other canvassers
are in the field except Mr. Bolling's friends ; but a few days
must put them all in active motion. The Reformers are san-
guine in their hopes of success.
CRICKLADE.—Captain Howard has nearly completed a most
gratifying canvass, and the other candidates, aware of this, re-
sort to every stratagem to contradict it and amend their own
sinking cause. The honest, liberal, frank Captain Howard
has won a host of friends, and they will not desert him.—
IVilts Independent.
EAST SUFFOLK.—A meeting was held yesterday, at the
Suffolk Hotel, Ipswich, which was attended by several of tho
leading gentlemen in the neighbourhood, who profess Reform
principles. Mr. Adair and Mr. Garden. were also present,
and had it not been for that thick-headed political marplot,
John Moseley, Esq., of Glenham-house, thoSe gentlemen
would at this moment have stood in the position of candidates
to represent the Eastern Division of the County of Suffolk in
the ensuing Parliament. Mr. Adair's exposition, we under-
stand, gave universal satisfaction ; but Mr. Garden having de-
clared that he was favourable to an extension of the cuff, age,
Mr. Moseley, without going any further, declared that he
should not have his support, for he considered that the Reform
Bill had already made the franchise too extensive.—SuffoTh
Chronicle of this day.
Wason re-visited the town on Mcnday, and
intends to remain until the election is decided. Mr. Kelly
and Mr. Gibson still remain hero, canvassing, el cetera. They
have not ventured on a public meeting ; but have several
times addressed the electors in their " ine2rest" at public
houses and beer shops. At night, the slumbers of the peace-
able inhabitants have been disturbed, by the uproarious re-
joicings of their followers, who walk in procession with a
band of music, which accompany them from their places of
carousals, playing " Hurrah for the Bonnets of Blue," and
greeting their friends with loud and long continued cheering,
and their opponents with groans and imitations of the crowing
of cocks. In thin latter respect, the County Press has been
especially favoured, w hilst the Blue Bank, the senior partner
in which, a short time since, declared he would "fight up to
hi: ears in blood, in support of the Established Church"
has been honoured with vehement demonstrations of an oppo-
site character. It is gratifying to add. that the Reformers
have not been tempted to commit similar breaches of the
peace ; but have conducted them-elves like rational beings,
and as orderly and well-disposed members of the community.

A meeting of the Committee and friends of Mr. Hawes was
held on Thursday evening at the Hercules Tavern, near the
Asylum. Mr. Redhead was called to the chair.
Mr. CANNON rose to move the first resolution. lie said
that it wa. unnecessary for him to say anything on behalf of
Mr. Hawes. lie was satisfied with his attention to his public
duties. The resolution was then seconded, and unanimously

carried.
Mr. OLIVER moved the second resolution, to the effect that
it was the duty of this meeting, in consequence of a Tory can.
didate being in the field, to use every exertion to secure the
return of their present representatives. He said that Mr.
Hawes had proved himself a thorough Reformer.
Mr. COWARD seconded the resolution.
Several other gentlemen then addressed the meeting in sup-
port of the resolution, expressing their determination to sup.
port the cause of Mr. Hawes, and hoping that no disunion
would take place among Reformers.
The resolution was then carried unanimously, amidst enthu-
siastic applause.
Mr. HAWEs then rose to address the meeting. As they
had hitherto found him, so would they continue to find him.
He hoped to have earned their approbation by acts, and not by
words. With respect to short Parliaments, he should advo-
cate triennial ones, provided the expenses of elections were
diminished to the candidates, as it was advantageous that men
in Parliament should frequently come in contact with their
constituents. He should never rest satisfied until no dis-
tinction existed between the Churchman and the Dissenter'
He felt assured that every exertion would be made by his
honourable oppinent, Mr. Baldwin, to secure his return ; but
he was ready to fight the battle to the last minute, and he
confidently trusted to the cordial and zealous aid of the
electors.
Another meeting was then announced by the CHAIRMAN,
the object of which was to be the formation of District Com-
mittees for the purpose of ensuring an effective canvass.

AMERICAN MONEY MARKET.

The intrinsic par of exchange, based on the Mint regula-
tions of England and America, being, for gold 49 28 pence
per dollar, or 4.87 dollars per pound sterling ; for silver 55.18
pence per dollar, or 4.35 dollars per pound sterlini, ; for gold
and silver jointly 52.23 pence per dollar, or 4.61 dollars per
pound sterling, which, taken in connection with the corn.
ercial par, will give 109 58 per cent., 97.85 per cent., and
103.70 per cent. respectively, according to the last advices
from New York, the current rate paid for the most approved
bills being 120 per cent., it follows the exchange was 10.42
per cent. above gold par, 22.15 per cent. above silver par„rand
16.30 per cent. above the medium or true par.
The price of sovereigns at New York being 5.50 dollars
each, which, remitted to England, would establish a net ex-
change of 119.18, and the current rate at New York being
120, it follows there would be an advantage in such remittance
of 0.92 per cent. over a remittance in bills.
The gold coins of America, of the old coinage, bearing
a premium of 14 per cent. at New York, and the London
market price being 775. 3d. per ounce, a remittance to Eng-
land would establish a net exchange of 115.36, in which
there would be an advantage of 4.64 per cent. over a remit-
tance in bills.
The gold coins of America, of the new coinage, hearing a
premium of 94 per cent. at New York, and the London
market price being- 765. per ounce, a remittance to England
would establish a net exchange of 117.16, in which there
would be an advantage of 2 84 per cent. over a remittance in
bills. _ _ _

Mexican silver dollars, bearing a premium of 101- per cent.
at New York, and the London market price being 4s. 9id.
per ounce, a remittance to England would establish a net ex-
change of 116.53 dollars, in which there would be an advan-
tage of 3.47 dollars per cent. over a remittance in bills:
Spanish doubloons, bearing a value of 17.50 dollars each
at New York, and the London market price being 745. 3d.
per ounce, a remittance to England would establish a net ex-
change of 118.33 dollars, in which there would be an advan-
tage of 1.67 dollars per cent. over a remittance in bills.'
Mexican doubloons, bearing a value of 17 dollars each at
New York, and the London market price being 735. 6d. per
ounce, a remittance to England would establish a net exchange
of 116 97, in which there would be an advantage of 3.23 per
cent. over a remittance in bills.
French five-franc pieces, bearing a value of 1.03 dollars
each at New York, and the London market price being
4s. qd. per ounce, a remittance to England would establish a
net exchange of 116.66, in which there would be an advantage
of 3.34 per cent. over a remittance in bills.

STOKESIIILL PLACE."—The new novel by the
authoress of " Mrs. Armytage," is to appear in the course of
a few days. It is likely, we are told, to lighten the labours of
the new candidates by the force of its electioneering bits. The
hero of the story, " John Barnsley" will be a warning to many
a sanguine canvasser.

DR. GRANVILLE'S SPAS OF GERMANY.—We
are requested to state that Mr. Colburn, of Great Marlborough-
street, has this day published " The Spas of Germany," by
Dr. Granville, author of " Travels to St. Petersburgb, &c.
in 2 vols., Bvo., with 38 illustrations." Agents : for Scot-
laud, Bell and Bradfute, Edinburgh ; for Ireland, John Cum-
min.., Dublin; and to be had of all booksellers throughout the
kingdom.

THE SPANISH WAR.—If it be true that there are
no narratives so stirring in their interest as those which relate
to " hair-breadth 'stapes th' imminent deadly breach"—
and especially of still living and distinguished individuals
whom we see and hear of in our daily life—then must the au-
tobiorrraphy of Colonel Shaw, which is just published, be re-
garded as a work of eminent attraction. But it has other points
of peculiar interest and value, the chief of which is the simple
and straight-forward truth of those parts which relate to the im-
portant actions and engagements of the British Legion in
Spain, in which the writer acted so conspicuous and brilliant
a part. The marked differences of opinion on important mili-
tary points, which existed between Colonel Shaw and the
leader of the Legion, and which can be only come at through
the medium of these pages, give an additional and peculiar
interest to the work at the present moment.

WEST SUFFOLK.—So nobly have the electors of the Western
Division of the county responded to the call of Bunbury and
Wilson, that there is no doubt whatever both will be returned.
The drift of the Herald in attacking, Sir Henry Bunbury is ap-
parent to the meanest capacity. The man who is appointed to
pull down Colonel Rushbrook from a seat iii the representa-
tion of the county must not be suffered to pass unassailed.
The championship of the Herald is, however, but Quixotic.
The days of the Gallant Colonel, as respects his possession of
a seat for the Western Division of Suffolk, are closely num-
bered ; his lease being out, he sits no more as its representa-
tive. He has " counted out the House" for the last time.
HULL.—One of the largest inn-door meetings we have ever
witnessed, on Thursday night nominated as a candidate, in the
room of Colonel Thompson, Mr. Benjamin Wood, brother to
Mr. Alderman Wood, Member for the City of London.—Hull
Advertiser.
Addresses to the electors of this borough have been issued
by S.r Walter C. James, Bart., the youthful step-son of Sir
Henry Hardinge, the adjutant of the Tory club, and one of
the Castlereagh blood, and William Wilberforce, Esq., whose
chief recommendation appears to be that he is of the same
name as lie to whom a column is erected in
WIGAN.—We have the satisfaction of being assured that
there are in this borough a number of stanch, resolute, un-
purchaseable Reformers, quite sufficient to secure the return
of the two Liberal candidates, Messrs. Richard Potter and
Standish, and to relieve Mr. Kearslcy from any future tempta-
tion to expose himself, by exhibiting his Bacchanalian propen-
sities to the House of Commons.—Blanchester Guardian.
LANCASHIRE. SOUTH.—Wherever the Liberal candidates
have presented themselves they have been favourably, in most
cases even enthusiastically, received.—lbid.
EAST SURREY.—The Kingston district, so favourable at
the last general election to Captain Alsager, has been partly
canvassed by the friends of the Hon. Locke King, and the
feeling displayed in his favour being almost unanimous, the
Kingston Committee have resolved to invite another candidate
to come forward, being confident that the pretensions of the
ultra-Tory Captain would then vanish, and the:would-be M. P.,
Mr. Kemble, follow the same prudent course of Sir E. Sug-
den, who, not having had confidence, preferred an honourable
retreat. Major Beauclerk's retirement is a subject of regret
by a large majority of the voters,
SIIRENTSBUtiV.—We announced last week that the approba-
tion of Mr. Slaney's political and private conduct had induced
some gentlemen to request another candidate of similar prin-
ciples to stand forth in favour of the misrepresented inhabit-
ants of Shrewsbury. On Monday last Mr. Francis Dashwood
was announced, and it appears by his addresses that his opinions
are those which coincide with the declared opinions of the
Grey and Melbourne Adminissrations.—Shrewsbury Chron.
COVENTRT.—Mr. Ellice last Thursday addressed the elec-
tors. He offered himself once more as a candidate for their
suffrages. He had explained all which had been required of
him ; his principles were well known to them, and with this
he remained at their service. He had served his constituents
and his country faithfully, and it now remained with the elec-
tors whether they would confide to hint the same trust again.
Mr. Ellice retired amidst long-continued cheering, which was
followed by nine huzzas for the Queen and throe groans for
the Tories. Mr. Williams has been actively engaged on his
canvass, and we understand that the promises of support are
very numerous, and highly satisfactory to that gentleman and
his friends. We noticed last week that Mr. Bell ( Editor of
a London paper) had transmitted an address " to the Radicals
of Coventry," offering himself as a candidate, and that the
Radicals had suppressed its eirculetion, and written to Mr. Bell
that they could not, under existing circumstances, support him.
To the great surprise, however, as we believe, of all parties,
Mr. Bell made his appearance in Coventry about six o'clock
