MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
There was no change at Liverpool on Saturday in the Cotton Mar-
ket. Sales, 4,000 bales, all to the trade. Railway Shares were heavy.
There has been a very fill attendance of the merchants
and others in the places of public resort, and lousiness
wears appearances of improvement not to be mistaken.
An increased amount of produce has been announced for sale.
Should the corn question Bill be passed by the House of Lords (it is
held to be certain as respects the House of Commons), the most san-
guine merchant, who has favoured the great principle of free
trade, will be short of the mark as to the approaching
revival in the trade with the continent and elsewhere. In
the meantime, it may be expected that some parties
will be placed in difficulties. Indeed there are one or two addi-
tional firms " talked of." But until an authorised notification of
the fact of suspension is given, it is not the duty of the " City Corre-
spondent" of any paper, to give hints, whether direct, or indirect.
The mostsanguine expectations are entertained here as to the future
condition of the cotton and the woollen manufactures. The stocks of
cotton at Liverpool are larger, and the consumers, generally speak-
ing, are and must be steady and regular buyers for a considerable
time to come.
By the Washington, advices have come to hand one day later
from Boston. There is nothing new to report connected with the
Oregon debate in the American Legislature, if we except the con-
tents of one letter. It is stated in this communication, that in all
the agricultural sections of the Republic, the prospect of a repeal of
the British corn-laws has had a most decided influence in checking the
war-cry on the "paltry Oregon question," as our correspondent calls it.
Farther he states it as the concurent opinion of all but the Polk-
party—that should the Cortes agree to give the notice of a dissolu-
tion of the joint occupancy of the territory in question; an amicable
arrangement " will and must" be come to.
There has been an improved market for the British Securities to-
day The political antagonism in the Stock Exchange—the Change,
"where merchants most do congregate," and in the City generally,
is rapidly softening down, and with a serious degree of earnestness
are people Woking out for the ;wonderful change in the commerce
of the country occasioned by the prospective repeal of the corn-laws.
That the advent will be forestalled, and money required for invest-
ment in foreign produce, and very early too, is deemed an fait
accompli, and the unfunded debt looks rather downwards. Ex-
chequer-bills have been quoted as low as 345. this morning. Consols
for the Account have just been done at 96% (one-eighth below the
opening price), and for transfer to-morrow, the figures have been
96%. Bank Stock has advanced to 210.
A heavy market has existed for the Foreign Stocks to-day. Bra-
zilian Five per Cents. have been quoted at 83% ; the Equador Stock
at 3%-3- Matieue, at 31%-f Portuguese at As; spastwi at 26%-, the
Passive Bonds at 6%, the Three per Cents. at 37% ; the Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. at 59%, and the Four per Cents. at 94% %.
In the Railway Shares there was a very steady business transacted
this morning, but the prices have altered but in a trifling degree.

NORTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE
ELECTION.
THE NOMINATION.

MANSFIELD, SATURDAY.—This morning the nomination of
Loid Henry Bentinck and Lord Lincoln, as candidates to
represent North Nottinghamshire in Parliament, took place
in this town, according to previous official announcement.
After the usual formalities, Lord Henry Bentinck was pro-
posed as a fit and proper person to represent the northern
division of the county in Parliament.—(Long and loud
cheering.)
W. H. BARnow, Esq., of Southwell, seconded the nomi-
nation.

T. BAILEY Esq., of Basford Hall, addressed the meeting,
and concluded by nominating the Earl of Lincoln.
Mr. PARKINSON (amidst the general clamour)—As a friend
of Lord Lincoln, I ask you whether you do this with his
Lordship's sanction and authority.
Mr. BAILEY—I can tell you that it is by Lord Lincoln's
knowledge that I appear hear.
Mr. PARKINSON—I press for an answer. I ask you if you
have his Lordship's authority for him ?
The SHERIFF put the question; and Mr. Bailey replied that
he had answered it.—(Continued confusion.)
Sir T. WritTE—l ask you if you have his sanction to nomi-
nate him here.

Mr. BAILEY—It is with the knowledge of Lord Lincoln.
The UNDER-SHERIFF—Has Lord Lincoln authorised you
to nominate him ?—(Cries of "Answer that.")
Mr. BAILEY, with much vehemence—l will not be beaten'
down by any one. I stand here as a freeholder, to nomi-
nate. any fit and proper person to represent the southern
division of this county in Parliament I choose, even though
lie be at the end of the earth. I will not be tied down
by any unconstitutional declaration.
Mr. PARKINSON said, if Lord Lincoln had given his
sanction, he had broken his word.—(Hear.)
Mr. BAILEY—But I offer him as a candidate.—(Great
confusion.) - . -
Mr. PARKINSON—But remember what Lord Ashley said.
—(Hear, hear.)
- Mr. BAILEY—I care Lot what Loni.A4ley.said and did.
,
—(Groans.) -
Sir Trium.ts Wirrrn and the SIrERIFF begged for order.
A voice—Let him empty himself of his speech; that's
all he wants.—(Laughter.)
The UNDER-SHERIFF expressed a hope that Mr. Bailey
had Lord Lincoln's sanction for the steps he was taking. His
Lordship had not said a word about coming forward to him.
Mr. BAILEY—I don't wish to give unnecessary trouble. 'I
have put Lord Lincoln in nomination, and I will bring him
in.—(Long and loud cheering, and great uproar.) Yes, I
repeat, I will bring him in.—(Ironical cheers.) It was not
necessary, be would say, in answer to an exclamation that
Lord Lincoln. would not come himself, that the general
should come himself. It is unnecessary. If we succeed, it
will not be the first time a subaltern has led on his cohorts
to victory:— (Cheers.) We knew we had a phalanx of
wealth and of power to contend against, -and we did not
attempt to break ground until we-were sure of winning the
contest.— (Loud cheering and uproar.)
Mr. GEORGE MOLINI COWLEY seconded the nomination of
Lord-Lincoln. He expressed his confidence that the free-
traders' formed the majority of the elcetors, and that the
election would terminate in the return of Lord Lincoln.—
(Cheers ar:d signs of disapprobation.)
Lord HENRYI3ENTINcx. then presented himself, and. was
received with loud cheering.' He could not but apologise
for having been forced upon their attention; it was, how-
ever by no wish of his own; there were many difficulties at
first in his path to be encountered, but now they had been
smoothened away, and the manner in which their leaders
had abandoned them ought to call forth their utmost ener-
gies to secure his return,—(Hear, hear.) Twenty years'
discussion and experience had laid before them all the argu-
ments on the great question of protection; and they were
much indebted to the present Ministers for some of the
strongest arguments that could be used against the arguments
of their now new allies, the League.—(Hear, and applause.)
His Lordship continued to address the meeting in this sense
for some time. At length he said he did think that, if
the measures of Government were passed, all the land in that
division of the county, from Arnold to Bawtry, would be
thrown out of cultivation, and would again become nothing
more than an extensive rabbit warren. - (Loud cries of "Hear,
hear.") When he called to mind what had recently been
done in the House of Commons, in spite of consistency, he
could not help but think that something was seriously wrong.
—(Hear.) Now these weak, ratting Ministers, were found
to be truckling to every wild cry of the League, and refused
to offer any resistance to the cry of the Papists; it had be-
come their duty to take their affairs into their own hands.
Their proceedings, hitherto, had plainly indicated their future
intentions, and it could not but be observed—

The confusion here was so great that the Noble Lord's
voice could no longer be heard. During the whole of his
speech much noise had existed, but now a wild and general
cry arose in the town that was almost deafening to those in
the Hall. Exclamations of the division, a dissolutien of
Parliament, &c., were very frequent, at which the protec-
tionists turned pale and still. At length a large placard was
held up to one of the windows announcing a majority of 97
in the House of Commons for Sir Robert Peel's measures.
This intelligence was received with repeated rounds of
cheering by the free-traders, during which the Noble Lord
ceased speaking.
Lord BENTIECK at length resumed, and after some further
remarks and disturbance, concluded.
Mr. BAILEY called for three cheers for the majority of 97,
which were given in hearty good style by the free-traders,
and reiterated by the vast crowd outside.
Each candidate was then put to the vote, when a vast ma-
jority of hands was held up in favour of Lord Bentinck.
A poll was then demanded by Mr. Bailey for Lord Lin.

A vote of thanks was riasetairtVo Siferift; aric

The greatest excitement prevailed in the town.
