SOUTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.

NEWARK, THURSDAY.—At three o'clock, Lord Lincoln
and his friends appeared in the Corn market, attended by an
immense crowd of tradesmen and operatives. The number
of persons assembled could not havebeen less than from three
to four thousand.
Lord LINCOLN, on presenting himself, was received with
vociferous and continued cheering. He commented with
much force upon the obvious manner in which his opponent,
Mr. Hildvard, had avoided any contest of argument with
bins, and the ineffectual chase he (Lord Lincoln) had had
after that lion. Gentleman. His Lordship then, in a long,
earnest, eloquent, and argumentative speech, upheld the
policy of which he professed himself to be an adherent. We
regret that press of other matter prey eats us from giving the
Noble Lord's address complete; but it is sufficient under the
c.rcumstances to mention, that it had its due effect upon the
listeners, and that upon its conclusion the crowd gave three
hearty cheers of approbation.

AONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very quiet.
Sales, 3,000 bales, all to the trade. Prices were %d. per lb.
lower than on Friday last. Shares were dial .and prices
were declining.

In commercial circles much satisfaction has been produced
by the course taken by the Directors of the Bank of England
in extending, natter than contracting, as was anticipated in
many quarters, the period for making advances during the
time the transfer books remain closed, preparatory to the
payment of the quarterly dividends. It is now quite evi-
dent that all those serious consequences, so much
dreaded by alarmists, in consequence of the railway
deposits were very greatly exaggerated. The constant
demand for money stock is itself an indication that the
public have full confidence in the national obligations-and
the reaction that has taken place recently in values is mere
to be ascribed to a desire on the part of the Bull speculators
to realise than to any other circumstance. It must be held.
a most satisfactory feature that the purchases on account of
the savings' banks are continued with a remarkable degree
of regularity. This is not indicative of the prevalence of
such extensive distress and embarrassment on the part of
the middle and rather inferior grades of society as a Morning
Contemporary still talks of, the result, as unfoundedly as-
serted. of specultilons in railway schemes.
No information has come to hand yet of the arrival of the
West India m ail steam-ship. The merchants are in full
attendance at the Jamaica coffee-house now to obtain in-
formation upon the subject. No doubt she will be in
Southampton waters in the course of to-day. The accounts
from Mexico are looked for with some anxiety.
There have been some very good purchases of Stock to-
day, but the quotations have remained very much the same
as yesterday. Consols for the Account have fluctuated only
from 96 j‘ to 964, but for immediate transfer the value has
been raised from 96 to 964. The premium upon Exche-
quer-bills has receded from 395. to 365. The New Five
per Cents have been quoted at 122 ; Bank Stock has
advanced from 208% to 210 ; and the Reduced Three per
Cents. from 961/2 to 963/4.
In about five of the foreign Stocks have operations been
entered into this morning. Spanish Five per Cents. for
Account have advanced to 27% ; the Three per Cents. to
38, (also for Account): the FrPiirli Three per Cents. to 84
75 ; but the Dutch Four per Cents. have been flat at from
943/4 to 95.
The Railway Share Market has been comparatively steady
this morning.

OPENING THE THAMES JUNCTION RAILWAY.--The
Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company have certified
to the Board of Trade their intention of opening the Thames Junction.
Railway—the branch from Stratford to the river Thames, for goods
traffic, on the 2d of next month (March), provided the line should be
approved of by the Government Inspector-General of Railways. The
line is near completion,—the engineers, labourers, &c., being now
busily engaged in forming a junction with the main line just above
the branch or junction of the Cambridge line. It runs close by the
river Lea, on the eastern side of the Thames, where extensive quays
have been erected for the prompt unloading of the eolliers—the
traffic, it is understood—being intended to be principally devoted to
coals. It passes under the Stratford and Plaistow high roads, and
the different bridges being lower thau the usual standard, an altera-
tion will have to be made in the height of the locomotive power now
in service of the Company.
