MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER. TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was dull.
American sorts were Id. per lb. lower. In other de-
scriptions there was no alteration. Egyptian was id.
per lb. higher. Sales, 4,000 bales. American, 61d. to
7id., and Surat, 4id. to sd. per lb. Railway Shares
were very quiet, but steady and firm.
The arrivals of grain at Antwerp continue extensive.
From June 30 to July 5 there entered the port thirty-
four loaded ships, having on board 6,286,038 kilo-
grammes of grain, rice, flour, &c., and there were in
bond on the sth July inst. about 4,000,000 kilogrammes.
There are no later ship arrivals to-day with news of
general interest. Letters intended for the Washington
steamer are to be pre paid and posted this evening.
The intelligence from the continent has still an effect
upon the tone of the Money market here, and there is
much suspense felt in connexion with the aspect of
Spanish affairs. The new French loan is not likely to
find much favour here, as the intrigues of Louis Philippe
are of a nature to excite well-founded mistrust.
Consols are heavy still upon the news of the loan.
For present transfer they realise 88i 4, and for time
88i The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
been 9034 to 91. Bank Stock is firm at 1961. Exchequer-
bills are 1 ls. to 14s. premium.
There have been no bargains in the Peninsular Se-
curities. Mexican Bonds are steady at 191 to if. Ve-
nezuela are at 39. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
have been 57i 1.
In Railway Shares there is no movement. Prices are
much the same.
Yesterday, after much evidence had been gone through,
the Committee of the Lords decided that the preamble
of the South Yorkshire and Goole Bill was proved.
It is expected that the Bill will receive the royal assent
by the 15th inst. This news has given an impulse to the
shares, which were done at par ; and in the event of the
Act being obtained, are expected to reach ahigh premium.
The forged shares have been circulated lately in various
quarters, but as yet no discovery bas been made of the
authors of the forgery.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY

' CORN EXCHANGE—FRIDAY.
Since Monday the a: rivals of English Wheat for our
market have been on a very limited scale, and the show
of samples here to-day was small. Although the at-
tendance of buyers was by no means large, there was more
firmness on the part of the factors, and, in some few in-
stances, the best qualities of white Wheat sold at a
trifling improvement in value—say is per quarter; but
the amount of business transacted was trifling. From
abroad, 16,350 quarters of Wheat have come to hand
this week. On the whole, there was rather more doing
in this article, but we can notice no actual advance in
the quotations. We had a very limited quantity of
Barley on offer; yet the sale was heavy, at the late de-
pression in value. In Malt next to nothing was doing;
yet the holders would not sell except at full prices.
Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, the supplies of
which were good, were very dull.

The supply of Beasts brought forward here was tole-
rably good as to number, but very deficient in quality.
The attendance of buyers being small, and the weather
unfavourable to slaughtering, the Beef trade was in a
very sluggish state, at, in some instances, a decline in
the quotations of 2d per 81bs. There were on offer 8
Oxen from Spain; 350 Oxen and Cows, 1,220 Sheep and
Lambs, and 180 Calves, from Holland and Germany; as
also 212 Scots from Scotland. With Sheep we were
fairly supplied; yet the demand for that description of
stock was firm, at Monday's currency. There was an
increased amount of business doing in Lambs, and the
best Down qualities sold at an improvement in value of
2d per 81bs, the highest figure being 6s 2d per. 81bs.
Although the supply of Calves was very great, the Veal
trade ruled firm, at full prices. Pigs moved off Aowly,
at late rates. Mulch Cows may be quoted at from 161
to 191 5s each, including their small Calf.

ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

CITY OF LONDON.
Last night a large and influential meeting of the
electors of the city of London was held at Anderton's
Hotel, Fleet-street. Mr. William Carpenter presided.
There were present Mr. Pattison, M.P., Sir William
Molesworth, Bart., M.P., Baron Rothschild, Sir George
Larpent, Bart., Mr. D. Salomons, Mr. J. Travers, Mr.
J. Gurney, Mr. J. Lowe, Mr. William Hawes, and a
great number of the Court of Aldermen and Common
Council, and influential gentlemen. The room was
crowded to suffocation.
The CHAIRMAN having opened the proceedings by
briefly adverting to the object of the meeting, which he
said was to enable the candidates for the next election
to explain the grounds on which they seek the suffrages
of the electors at the ensuing election,
Mr. PATTISON rose. He said that as their present
representative perhaps he had better address them first.
He did not know that he could say much. He had been
their representative for ten and a half years, and his
votes were before them. 'Whenever he had been called
upon to give a vote, or to speak on religious subjects, be
had always given it in favour of civil and religious
liberty. With respect to the ballot, he hoped that in the
next Parliament it would be made an open question.
He was every day more convinced of the necessity of
some change in that respect, as it was only that day that
a person told him that he had lost a gentleman's custom
of more than 1001.' per yenr through voting for a person
against his will. He (Mr. Pattison) hoped his past
votes would be a guarantee for the future. With re-
spect to the suffrage, he would vote for the fullest ex-
tension of the household suffrage, but he could not say
that he would go to the fullest extent at present with
the suffrage.—(Hear, hear.)
Baron ROTHSCHILD said, he thought that general
pledges were better than any specific pledge. He ob-
jected to specific pledges. Their inutility had been
clearly shown in the last session of Parliament. He
should be happy to answer any questions which might be
put to him, and this he thought was the best way of eli-
citing a knowledge of his intentions. With regard to the
suffrage, a question which had-been mooted by the pre-
vious speaker, he should certainly vote for any possible
extension of the rights conferred by the Reform Bill.
He would not say that he could further extend its opera-
tion at present, but the should do so whenever he
found that it could safely be done. On the subject of
taxation he thought that any reduction of the revenue
of the country which a better apportionment of the na-
tional burdens might requir'e, could be Soon made up, as
the resources of the country were so great. He cer-
tainly preferred direct taxation to the present indirect
taxes on commodities in general use. He would support
any measure that might be brought forward for a re-
duction of the duties on tea, for he considered tlait the
tea duties pressed very heavily on the poorer classes, and
certainly ought to be abolished. On the subject of civil
and religious liberty he considered that there
ought not to be any intervention by the State to
restrict perfect liberty of conscience. During the past
year the Government bad broken through the prescribed
bounds, and of course it would require time to see
how such an experiment would woik. With respect to
grants and endowments for religious purposes, be thought
that circumstances might occur where it might be neces-
sary to concede grants. The subject was a very delicate
one with him, and therefore he would not say any more
on that point. With regard to free trade he should
certainly support its full development. He did not
think that the strongest Protectionists would say that
we could in the difficulty which he hoped we had just got
over, have supported the people for any length of time, if
we had not been supplied with corn from foreign coun-
tries.—(Hear, hear.) He concluded by saying that he
hoped that he should have the support of the meeting at
the ensuing election.—(Loud cheers.)
In answer to a question Baron ROTHSCHILD said, that
he thought the state of the Exchequer would not allow
the repeal of the income-tax at present.
Sir GEORGE LARPENT, Bart., said he rose with con-
siderable difficulty after the two gentlemen who had
preceded him. He hoped, however, he was sufficiently
known to the gentlemen present to claim a patient hear-
ing.—(Hear.) On the subject of the suffrage he
thought that every difficulty ought to be removed,
and that every person who was intended to have
been enfranchised by the Reform Bill ought to enjoy
that privilege, and not be kept out of his vote, and dis-
qualified by any subterfuge. He would vote for the
extension of the franchise as far as it was safe to extend
it at the present time with prudence. On the subject
of taxation, he could only say that he had been chair-
man of the committee on the income-tax in the City.
He had seen the working of that tax, which pressed very
heavily on the working classes. He regretted to see that
it was likely to be made a permanent tax. On the sub-
ject of the tea duties, he begged to assure the meeting
that he had taken a great interest in it; he had urged on
both Lord John Russell and Sir Robert Peel the cruelty
of this tax on the poorer classes; he believed that they
were both impressed with the necessity, but the state of
the Exchequer would not then admit of a repeal. If he
were returned, he would endeavour to procure an altera-
tion in the Customs and Excise laws. After adverting
to the subject of free trade and some minor matters, the
speaker sat down.
Mr. LEE would ask the gentlemen their opinions and
intentions with regard to the window chilies.
Mr. PATTISON would vote for the abolition of the tax,
which he considered pressed very heavily on the poor.
Baron ROTHSCHILD would do the same.
Sir G. LARPENT would vote for the abolition if a sub-
stitute could be found.
Mr. WILLIAMS (Common Councilman)—If it was the
intention of the Government to endow the Roman Ca-
tholic Church, how would the gentlemen vote?
Mr. PATTISON would oppose it.
Baron ROTHSCHILD would oppose any endowment
unless it was extended to every sect.
Sir G. LARPENT would never consent to endow any
church unless under very peculiar circumstances.
Mr. GALLOWAY, having heard with satisfaction the
declaration of the Liberal candidates, would propose a
resolution for the consideration of the meeting, when
The CHAIRMAN said, that as he observed Mr. Alder.
man Johnson present, it would only be fair to give that
gentleman an opportunity of addressing the assembled
electors.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Alderman JOHNSON would net waste their time.
He liked plain dealing and sincerity ; he had been a man
of candour all his life, and he honestly told his three
friends opposite that he would go to the poll, and fight
them to the last.—(Cheers.)
An ELECTOR—WiII you support any motion for the
reform of the Corporation of London?
Mr. Alderman JOHNSON—No, I will not.—(Hear.)
Now don't mistake me; I don't want to have your votes
if you don't like it. I say that the city of London is
the only corporation in the country that does not require
reform.—<Shouts of laughter). I say it again, fearless
of the consequences.—(hear, and cheers.) Thank God,
your diabolical Reform Act, one of the worst Bills that
was ever passed—(llear, cheers, and laughter)—has
not been able to destroy the privileges of the City of
London. I have lived in it from my boyhood, and I ask
it there's any other place where the people have the
power of electine their own magistrates ? Why I can
go down, if I like, to my own borough of Plymouth
and put up for mayor; and if I please I can be made
mayor of the borough or mayor of anything else.—
(Great laughter.) Before a man can be made Lord
Mayor be must go before the L very and obtain the
suffrages of his fellow-citizens, which is a delightful deal
better than the operation of your Reform Bill, because
if he is of doubtful character you have an opportunity
of rejecting him. Look at my friend Mr. Salomons, he
was elected by the people, though he could not take his
seat ; and I hope the law will be altered, to give him
equal privileges with the rest of us.—(Cheers.)
A Voice—That is the best thingyou have said to-night.
Alderman JOHNSON—No, it is not, I don't think so.—
(Great laughter.) I've told you my sentiments; I shall
stick to them, you may depend on it. You shan't find
any deceit in me. If any man wishes to ask me a ques-
tion he shall have a straightforward answer. The worthy
Alderman here resumed his seat, amidst a burst of un-
controllable merriment.
Mr. BOYLE thought the meeting had heard quite
enough of Mr. Johnson's views to enable them to make
up their minds as to his fitness to represent them in
Parliament.—(Cheers.) The worthy Alderman was
engaged in a great work at Plymouth; would he employ,
to superintend :it, a man who was not only averse to
the task, but who bad prophesied that the work would
fail?—(Hear, hear.) He would not detain them, for
further remark was needless, but at once propose the fol-
lowing resolution :
" That this meeting is of opinion that Mr. Alderman
Johnson's views are not such' as to entitle him to the
confidence of the electors of the city of London."
Mr. J. LEVY seconded the motion.
A GENTLEMAN present wished to know by what
means he could obtain a knowledge of the real views of
Mr. Johnson, because, on Saturday night, in Bride-

(WHaesar,haendochaeeprps.eal from

Johnson had of course a perfect right to appear before
the electors in a double character, as he had said be was
willing to take the consequences ; and what these would
be it needed no gift of prophecy to foretel. He would
cordially support the resolution.
The question was then put and carried without a
single dissentient.
Mr. J. A. GALLOWAY then moved, after a brief but
emphatic introduction, the next resolution, which was as
follows:
" That having heard Mr. Pattison, Baron Rothschild,
and Sir George Lerpent, expound their opinions upon
the various subjects that are at present before the pub-
lic, and those likely to be brought forward during the
next Parliament, and these opinions and sentiments
being in accordance with those of this club, we pledge
ourselves to support the above gentlemen, together with
Lord John Russell, at the ensuing election."
Mr. DEAN seconded the motion, which was adopted
without a single dissentient voice.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of Sir
William Molesworth, which was received with' much
applause.
Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH replied, and in comment-
ing upon the claims which the four Liberal candidates
had upon the electors of the City, took occasion to
advert in eloquent terms to the peculiar position of
Baron Rothschild, who came forward as the representa-
tive of a great principle—the universal toleration of
religious opinions.—(Cheers.) He felt satisfied that no
better choice than the gentlemen who stood before them
could have been made, and cordially wished that they
might triumph in the ensuing contest.
Several other questions having been asked and satis-
factorily answered, a vote of thanks to the Chairman
closed the proceedings. • -•- • . .

CONSERVATIVEMEETING.
A meeting of Conservative electors took place fester
day at the London Tavern, Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P.,
in the chair. The meeting was called " for the purpose
of adopting measures for securing the return of four ,
Conservative candidates ;" but only three have yet been
nominated, and it appears a fourth cannot be obtained. •
The meeting was addressed by Mr. Wilson, Mr. Hichens,
Mr. F. Hodgson, M.P., Mr. Russell Ellice, Mr. J.
Horsley Palmer, Mr. Colesworth, and other gentlemen ;
and resolutions were adopted expressive of confidence in
Mr. Masterman, Mr. Alderman Johnson, and Mr.
R. C. L. Bevan, the three present candidates on the Con-
servative interest ; and on the motion of Mr. Russell,
Mr. Baring was invited to stand as a fourth candidate,
but he at once declined on account of his engagements
to his present constituents. Lord Ashley's name was
mentioned as a candidate; but alter some discussion a
committee was formed for the purpose of deciding upon
some person who will consent to enter upon the forth-
coming struggle.
