ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

REIGATE.
There is little doubt that the Hon. Edmund John Mon-
son,
candidate for the representation of this borough in
rm. Thraent, will be unopposed at the next general election.
337eia. present member Mr. Granville Leveson-Gower, at a
+,",iting of the electors, announced that it was not his in-
"ip nn to again solicit the support of the electors, and Mr
• Wilkinson, who contested the borough with him,
sog fed, there seems to be no opposition to Mr. Mon-
states no hon. gentleman has issued his address. He
accepted MY principles are those which are universally
Libe as embodying the political creed of that great
fare of PartY Which has done so much to advance the wel-
in °lir country, by extending to every class the bless-
gB of civil and religious liberty." Although a Church-
m, he declares himself in favour of the abolition of
scie
Trch rates, considering them an injustice to all who con-
ntiously dissent from the doctrines of the Church. Mr.
--cn promises to explain his principles more fully at a
Meeting of the electors, to be held at an early period.

o'valet: he says will take place in July, but he expresses his
enfidence that the electors will not " forget an absent
friend." The hon. member adds :—" My political opinions
rsust now be well known to you all, and I can only say
that I shall not swerve from those principles of indepen-
dence, which it has been my pride to adopt."
There is a probability of a close run, Mr. John Chapman,

geld.

MONEY MARKET

AN

OumMERCIAL INTELLJGENE,

TWELVE 0' CLO Ci .

The Money Market is showing easier symptoms
to-day. The inquiry has not been very large, and
capital being abundant, first-class paper has been
negotiated at 38 per cent., with exceptional opera-
tions at 34 per cent. In the Stock Exchange loans
have been charged 2i and 3 per cent.
During the last few days there has been an in-
creased business transacted in the Foreign and
Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars have been in
fair demand at full rates, while a moderate amount
of business has been done in coffee,,rice, and tea at
former prices. In tallow the dealings have been to
an average extent for both present consumption and
ca speculation, and quotations have shown an up-
'Ward movement.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank

pose of purchasing the freehold property in Ply-
trth called Queen Anne's shipyard, together with
Ply-
the
business, which it is proposed to extend, and
the different branches of mechanical engineering.
it The present docks will be much enlarged, and as
there are no iron shipbuilding works in the locality
f
°r repairing vessels outward bound, a large profit is
expected to be reaped. The capital required is
£250,000 in shares of £25 each, and interest at the
rate of 6 per cent. is to be guaranteed for three
years upon the amount paid up.
The report of the Asiatic Banking Corporation,
to be presented on May 4, states the available ba-
lance at £70,439, and recommends a distribution at
the rate of 20 per cent. per annum. The preliminary
expenses of £8,484 are to be extinguished, £5,500
to be added to reserve, which, from premiums on
new shares, will amount, on the 30th of June next,
to £175,000, and £6,455 will remain to be carried
forward.

cial liquidator to the Factage Parisien (limited).

telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 30c.

The English Stock Market has been very ani-
mated and buoyant, and a rise of about I per cent.
has taken place in the Funds. The improving state
of the produce markets, and the idea that a large
expansion of trade will succeed the close of the
4-Inerican war, have contributed to the encouraging
state of affairs. Consols are 91i # for money, and

Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

Market strong. Sales will probably exceed
10,000 bales.

A PILFERER'S DEATH.—Yesterday Mr. W. J.
Payne, the deputy-coroner of the City and Southwark, held
an inquest at the Vestry-room in Horselydown on the body
of John West, late a labourer at Fenning's-wharf, who
came by his death in a terrible manner. Daniel Crummings
stated that he was employed at Fenning's-wharf, and that
on Friday last deceased came to him and asked if a "drop"
could be got out of some casks which they both supposed
contained brandy or wine. They both had a " suck at the
monkey," as it was called, and while the witness was some-
what burnt in the inside by what he took, the other man
died in a few hours. Mr. Arkless, the Customhouse gauger,
said the spirit in the cask sucked by deceased was pure Ham-
burgh spirit 66.8 over proof, and was, in fact, "liquid
fire." It was shown by the evidence of Mr. Lacey, a sur-
geon, that death was caused by the collapse arising after
taking an acrid poison, and a verdict to this effect was re-
turned.

•
SALT.—The export of salt from the United King-
dom in the two months ending Feb. 28 this year amounted
to 37,701 tons, as compared with 58,231 tons in 1864, and
54,728 tons in 1863 (corresponding periods.) The exports
to Russia were 233 tons against 365 tons in the correspond-
ing period of 1864; to the United States, 8,578 tons against
11,547 tons; to British America, 2,449 tons against 1,222
tons; to British India, 10,144 tons against 23,284 tons;
and to other countries, 16,295 tons against 21,813 tons.
There was thus a decrease this year in the exports in all
directions. The declared value of the salt exported to
Feb. 28 this year was £18,308 against £26,508 in 1864, and
£26,061 in 1863 (corresponding periods.)
THE LATE ACCIDENT TO MR. HENRY HOARE.—
We are glad to learn that Mr. Henry Hoare (the well-known
banker), who recently met with a serious injury, while
travelling on the Great Eastern Railway, is making a fav-
ourable recovery. The immediate result of the accident
was a concussion of the brain, attended with very grave
symptoms ; but we are happy to say, on the authority of
his medical attendants, that Mr. Hoare has now so far re-
covered as to be able to move about again. After such a
severe shock to the system, however, it is not considered
advisable that Mr. Hoare should engage in his ordinary
occupations for some time.—Sussex Advertiser.
MR. J. W. ANsoN's BENEFIT.—The annual
benefit of Mr. J. W. Anson, treasurer of the Adelphi
Theatre, has been fixed for Wednesday, the 3rd of May,
and following evening. The claims of Mr. Anson upon
the public and the profession renders it a wise arrangement
to set aside two evenings for the occasion, because the
Adelphi Theatre on one particular night would certainly
be quite inadequate to accommodate the immense circle of
friends he has secured by his urbanity and attention. Mr.
Anson has our best wishes for a double bumper.
