MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE, O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY.-The sales
this day are 3,000 bags, all to the trade ; nothing done on
speculation or exportation.

From the Australian Papers to the Bth of August, we
extract the following
" THE BLACKS.—We have received the following letter
from a respectable settler in the southern district, and its
authenticity may be relied on Galang, Aug. 24—1
hasten to inform you of the alarming state in which the
settlers in our part of the country are placed, in conse-
quence of the blacks. For this last month they have been
killing cattle in all directions, both outside and within the
boundaries ; the last three weeks they have commenced
their havoc here among the cattle of Messrs. Ryan,
Roberts, Henley, Fennel, and mine, to a ruinous extent:
in fact, one-third of the increase is lost through them, for
what they do not kill they scatter over the country.' "

Rio Janeiro Papers received to the 23d November bring
the Exchange on London 31/ to 31i.
The Dutch mail of the 22d instant has arrived, bringing
the prices from Amsterdam, Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
51} ; Five per Cents., 98k; Ardoin's Spanish, 24.
Both the public and monied interest were rather taken
by surprise yesterday afternoon, on the Bank Directors
giving notice of lowering their Discount from 6 per cent.
to 5 per cent. The prevailing opinion is that it will have
the effect to improve commercial affairs, both in town and
the manufacturing districts, as well as among the middling
classes.

Owing to the boisterous state of the weather the usua
Foreign mails are still due—two Ostend and a French.

EVENING EDITION.

SOUTHWARK ELECTION,

(THIS DA Y.)

DECLARATION OF THE POLL-RETURN OF

MR. WOOD.
This morning it was announced that the declaration of
the poll would take place at eleven. But to the great
disgrace of some parties, there was no appearance of any
body till past one—the crowd waiting all the time, with ex-
emplary patience, under a drizzling rain.
At that time Mr. WOOD appeared upon the hustings ac-
companied by Mr. Alderman Wood ; and the High Sheriff
having declared the poll—Wood, 2,059, and Walter,
1,535 ; majority for Mr. Wood, 524—the latter gentleman
thereupon " duly returned to serve in Parliament," be
came forward, amidst great cheering, and said—,, Gen-
tlemen, you will not think me ungrateful for the honour
you have conferred upon me if, at the same time, I must
beg to observe that you have bestowed greater honour on
yourselves—( Cheers)—and that you have done more for
the cause of liberty than has been done for some time by
any constituency in the kingdom.—( Cheers.) We bail'
had an extraordinary battle to fight—we have had a com-
bination of interest and party and power against our liberties.
—( Cheers.) Bribery has been attempted.—(" No, no.")
I repeat, bribery has been attempted—(Cheers)—bet
bribery has failed—coercion has failed—a powerful Press
has failed—a long purse has failed, and you are the victors.
—(Cheers.) Let the stand you have now taken be an
example to the people of England, and above all to those
places who are now day by day being called upon to exercise
the suffrage. Gentlemen, we are threatened with a speedy
dissolution of Parliament—(Hear, bear,)—and with the
turning out of the Whigs and the bringing in of the To-
ries—(Cries of " Now," and cheers)—with the destruc-
tion of our liberties, and the turning upside down of the
Reform Bill, and with the stoppage of all the great nlea'
sures of civil and religious liberty—but, I say, Gee'
tlemen, here is an example which you have nobly set to
the electors of England—unaided by any extraneous
power—against all the efforts:made against your liberties'
(Cheers.) You have returned one of your own body
(Cheers)—to fight your battles—to stand up against both
Whig and Tory—to disregard the interests of parties";
and simply to endeavour to carry on the cause of goon
government.—( Cheers.) Gentlemen, we are charged
in one of the Morning Papers with acting unfairly;
but we have only exemplified the old adage
about the bundle of sticks, that could not be di-
vided, and therefore could not be broken.—( Cheers.
Now, speaking of the press; Gentlemen, I think I have a
right to complain of the Morning Chronicle, for not giving
me that support to which I think, as an advocate of the
policy which that paper supports, I was entitled fairly--'
( Hear, bear)—but of which I have experienced nothing
of any value, while I have had to contend against an able,
a powerful, an influential paper.—(Cheers, and cries
of the Times ) Gentlemen, I lament that I should have
been so deserted, especially as the struggle has been a
most severe one, and as we have only conquered by ind°l
mitable resolution.—( Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, Ivv
~1'
now state the numbers I have polled in each parish. ?t'
George 644—majority 177 ; Bermondsey 412......r0aj0rl
170; St. Saviour's 378—majority 57 ; Christchurch 26"
—majority 37 ; Rotherhithe 136—majority 48 ; Sj
Olave's and St. John's 227—majority 33.—(Cheers./
And, Gentlemen, +here polled at this election 3,594 elec-
tors—more considerably than have ever almost polled be;
fore in the borough.—( Cheers.) Gentlemen, I now g
to take my scat in Parliament—(Cheers)—aud while 0'
pressing my deep gratification for the support I have re;
ceived, and my determination to advocate the just measures
of reform, allow me to add that I trust those who dig er
from me will never think they are debarred from calbeg
on me to look to any measure affecting the interests of t'"li
borough—with as much readiness and zeal as if the car
were from my supporters. —( Cheers.) My endeavea
will be, Gentlemen, to act in such a manner as best to
promote the true interests of the empire.—( Cheers.)
Mr. Em.ts. (the proposer of Mr. Walter) came forwar'
in the absence of that gentleman; but it was with dr;,,
culty the crowd were persuaded by Mr. Wood to all
him to speak, and what he said was almost totally inaudib'ea;
Mr. Curling was present, but the general opinion
,hat he would not be able to be beard.
