HALF-PAST ONE,

The British Funds continue inactive, scarce a bargain has
been done during the morning, consequently there is not a fea-
ture worth attention to report. The order of the day is the
elections, and nothing else is thought of in the City.

count ; Reduced, S 9 /.; Exchequer Bills, 9 7 10 prem. ;
India Bends, 2 prem.

QUARTER TO THREE.

There is nothing but politics talked or thou;ht of in the
City to-day, and the electioneering squibs are unusually
spirited. One street-crier announces a grand ball at
Newgate, for the benefit of the Conservatives, which is to be
so fully attended that he has only four tickets left,
and these he leaves us to infer are reserved for
the City candidates. The opposition party have two
dulls chained in a cage, as the representatives of the Sheriffs,
but say nothing about Tory votes having helped to put them
there. As to the Guildhali, it hai not quite the same brilliant
appearance as on the occasion of her Majesty's visit, being
literally plastered with electioneering bills and pictures.
Amidst the din of party strife, it gives us pleasure to advert
to the improved position of the Bank of England, whose stock
of bullion has increased by 177,00 CL This will be of service
in paying the July dividends.

How TO GAIN FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS.—
Any person who has received a bribe may get a third
party to tprosecute the briber, himself give evidence
against his corrupter, and not himself be exempt from all
penalties, but share with his friend the penalty of 500/.
The individual bribed will, of course, only proceed against
such persons as can pay the penalty on conviction, the
whole of which the law awards to the prosecutor. The
cases in which' such prosecutions can be instituted are
these :—First, where money has been paid down for a
vote ; secondly, where a promise is made that a certain
sum shall be paid for a vote ; thirdly, where a situation,
a receipt in full for a debt, the settlement of an action, a
long, price for a cabbage, cat, canary bird, &c., or any
such inducement to vote on the side the voter would not
have voted on without such inducement ; and, fourthly,
where any such inducement is given or promised not to
vote for a particular candidate, or not to vote at
all. The briber is, therefore, completely, at the
mercy of the bribes. It is true that the proceeding
would not be very creditable to the party, but it is not
a whit worse than the selling of the vote, and he that
has bartered his conscience for the paltry sum of 51. or
101. will hardly scruple at such a peccadillo when the
prize in view is 500/.
On Saturday afternoon, an iron steam dredging-
vessel was launched from the works of Messrs. J. B.
Maxton and Co. engineers, Leith. The vessel is the
first iron one that has been built in the Forth ; she is
about 200 tens measurement, and is intended for deepen-
ing Dundalk Harbour, under the management of the
Dundalk Harbour Commissioners. The vessel does
_great credit to MeSsrs. Maxton, the contractors. She
was named the" Victoria, of Dundalk," in honour of \our
gracious Sovereign.—Edinburgh Courant.
ILFRACOMBE, JUNE 22.—We understand that
a petition from this town will be presented to the new Parlia-
ment for the suspension of cash payments, and for the preven-
tion of the importation of gold and silver, on the ground that
the mines are worked by means of slave labour. Sir Robert
Peel will be requested to present the petition.
.A SAGACIOUS ELECTOR.—A patriotic can-
didate, 'Who offered himself as the representative of a
Kentish borough, told a yeoman to whom he applied,
that, if he were returned Member, he would use his in-
fluence to turn out the Ministry. " Will you ?" replied
the yeoman ; " then I promise you shall not have my
vote ; for I am not for changing them, be they good or
had. I know well enough how it is with my hogs ;
when I buy them lean, they eat more than they are worth;
but when they have once grown a little fat, the feeding
them is not half so expensive. So I am for keeping the
present set; a new herd would devour more."
THE BOROUGH ELECTION.—It affords us the
highest gratification to state that the canvass in behalf
of the free-trade candidates for the representation of this
borough, has hitherto been of the most satisfactory de-
scription, and that numerous promises of support have
been received in quarters *Om which support was least
expected. With energy, industry, perseverance; and,
above all, with perfect unanimity, the anti-monopolists
have it in their power—notwithstanding all the vaunt-
ings of the monopolists end their organs—to carry both
their candidates.—Liverpeollliercury.
