ELECTION MOVEMENTS.
NORTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.

THURSDAY NIGHT.—The field is still in the possession of
Lord Henry Bentinck, and he is; to be returned without op-
position, with a Welbeck protection feather in his cap. How
long he may be allowed to wear it is another matter. His
single notion of legislation (for upon the corn-law continu-
ance alone he speaks in his appeal to the electors) he must
find, will not held good long. The period is not distant
when, he may rest assured, his noble father's tithes will be
pressed upon his attention, if no other subject was. If he be
the "farmer's friend," he must prove it by questioning the
propriety or impropriety of this impost, which is fast wearing
down the tenantry. That a farmer should be called upon to
pay a greater amount of tithe than rent (and which is really
the case in Nottinghamshire since the Tithe Commissioners
set their feet into that county) is t,c, monstrous a grievance
to be endured. It does appear a stretch of the truth to as-
sert that the tenantry are paying more amount in tithe than
rent ; nevertheless we are assured from a quarter upon which
we can rely for the accuracy of what we state. Well may
the Bail of Lincoln, in his address to the electors of South
Nottinghamshire, declare there are other matters besides the
corn-laws requiring rectification. Lord H. Bentinck is so
much engaged with bis Lincolnshire fox hunt that he has
not time to canvass the small district of North Nottingham-
shire, although from the date of his address to the first day
of election there is a lapse of eleven days, exclusive. of
two Sundays. A high compliment to the electors of North
Nottinghamshire this! The Liberals do not think it worth
while to trouble the electors, or incur any expense, until
in
this genera! election ; then they feel confident of succeeding
this over long Tory-ridden division.

EASTERN DIVISION OF SUFFOLK.
Irsmcit,Tuu ItSDA Y.—The ceremony ofelecting a Member
for this division of Suffolk took place to-day, when Mr.
Gooch was returned without opp sition. For some time an
impression prevailed that Captain Rous, the defeated of
Westminster, would be put in nomination, and Mr. Gooch
was expected is that case to resign in favour of the Gallant
Captain, who is a relation of his own ; but when the hour,
arrived for the nomination nothing was heard or seen of the
expected substitute.

The High Sheriff having opened the proceedings with the
usual formalities,

Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the county in
Parliament, which was seconded by R. F. Yeatman, Esq. ;
but the meeting became so impatient that nothing of these
gentlemen's speeches could be heard.
Mr. FLOYER subseque-Aly addressed the electors under
similar difficulties. He was understood, however, to rest his
principles on support of the Established Church and the prin-
ciples of protection, which he considered interwoven with it.
JOHN BROWNE, Esq., of Wareham, then came forward to
propose Lord Ashley, but his Lordship interposed, and stated
that, after his public notification that he would not, directly
or indirectly, put his honourable opponents to any expense
by demanding a poll, he could not think of being a party to
any contrary proceeding..--(Hear.)
co elector having any other candidate to propose, Henry
Kerr Seymour, Esq., and John Floyer, Esq., were then de-
dared daly elected by the High Sheriff, Charles Percher,
Esq., to whom a vote of thanks was subsequently carried by
acclamation.

W. C. FONNERICAU, Erg., nominated E. S. Gooch, Esq., es
a fit and proper person to represent East Suffolk in Parlia-
ment.

N. BARTHBOPP, Esq., having seconded the nomination,
and no other candidate appearing,
The HIGH SHERIFF declared that Edward Sherlock Gooeb,
Esq., was duly elected.
Mr. Goocu then came forward, and was received with
cheers and groans. He said he was for protection, the whole
protection, and nothing but protection.—(Laughter, and
cries of " You won't have it.") There were throe or four
millions of acres of land out of cultivation in Ireland now,

the country in which he lived for three years.—(A voice—
" And why didn't you stop there?"—Laughter.) if this
land was not cultivated with protection, would it be culti-
vated without protection ?—(Yes, yes.) After a few other
observations, the Hon. Gentleman concluded a leng address
by thanking the electors for the honour they had done him.
(Three cheers were then given for the Hon. Gentleman, and
three cheers for free-trade.)
Lord RENDLESIIAM M.P., in seconding the vote of thanks
to the Sheriff, made a lengthened address to the meeting, and
complained much that Sir Robert Peel had not given the
constituency of the kingdom an opportunity of declaring its
feeling upon the free trade measures.
The proceedings then terminated.

DORSETSHIRE.—(NOMINATION).

High Sheriff proceeded to the usual place of meeting, where
hustings had been erected. Mr. Seyferer and Mr. Floyer, the
two new candidates, arrived first, and were cheered by their
friends. Lord Ashley was also cordially received. [His
Lordship arrived in the town on the previous evening. When
he had approached it within two or three miles, a crowd of
persons stopped the carriage, intending to remove the horses,
and draw his Lordship into Dorchester themselves; but the
honour was declined. Before the King's Arms Hotel, where
his Lordship had apartments, a large number of persons
assembled and remained for an hour, cheering for Lord Ashley,
Sir R. Peel, and free trade.] About 6,000 persons were col-
lected around the hustings. After the usual preliminaries,
The HIGH SHERIFF requested an impartial hearing for
every speaker who might address them.—(Hear, hear, and
cries of " Lord Ashley for ever.")
Mr. H. K. Seymer was then proposed by Mr. Far-
quharson, and seconded by Colonel Mitchell ; after
which the Hon. Candidate addressed the meeting at
some length. At the conclusion of his speech
Lord Asnun- presented himself. The Noble Lord began
by stating, that although he was about to interpose between
the address of the Hon. Candidate and the answer of the
electors, yet it was not his intention to exercise the slightest
influence over their decisi,m, or to claim any part of their
sympathies for himself.—( Hear.) But, having had the
honour of enjoying the honourable post of senior represen-
tative for the county, he did conceive that he was acting
regularly and conveniently in proceeding to address them on
the nomination of the gentleman who was intended to
supply the vacancy caused by his retirement.—(No, no, and
cheers). When he addressed them by letter on accepting
the Chiltern Hundreds he told them distinctly that it was his
intention to test the feelings of the county by calling for a
show of hands, and at that time he did not despair of a
favourable issue. Since that time, however, a meeting had
been held, on the 6th of February, at which a great number
of gentlemen and farmers assembled, and not only put up
for their representation two gentlemen of the county, but
also agreed to pay a great portion of their expenses. He there-
fore saw that it was hopelessfor him to make any furthereffort
in the contest, and he at once announced his determination
to his honourable opponents publicly. Now, he would put
the question to the gentlemen on the hustings, and to the
arena before him, what had they seen in him (Lord Ashley),
what had they seen in either his public or private life, to
justify them in as,erting that he should disgrace the county
by its representation ?—(Great cheering.) Had he bartered
them for place or pension?—(No, no.) Or had he lounged
away in idleness the precious hours of public service?—(No,
no, and cheers.) Then why this resolution—and let the
electors mark the words, that " it would be inconsistent with
their honour to vote for Lord Ashley."—(Great cheering.)
He challenged them all to state a single reason why it would
be inconsistent with their honour to return him as their re-
presentative to Parliament.—(A Voice—" Free trade.") Oh,
but this was not all ; for the canvassers employed against
him, even in the most northern parts of the county, were in-
structed to solicit the electors, not so much to promise to vote
for the other candidates, as to pledge themselves not to vote
for him; and to such an extent was this system carried, that
many persons were solicited in the most pressing manner to
affix their names to a document to that effect. Hence the re-
quisition so numerously signed presented to his opponents, and
which was considered by many as the most remarkable and by
some minds as the most painful document in the history of
electioneering transactions.—(Cheers.) People talked of the
importation of corn—they spoke of it in their speeches, and it
appeared in their addresses; but from the beginning of the
existing discussions in the House of Commons, had any Mem-
ber adduced a single argument or fact to show that such an
apprehension was founded on even the shadow of a proba-
bility ?—(Cheers.) The thing was altogether impossible.—
(Renewed cheering.) The largest amount ever entered for
homeconsumption did not exceed three and a half millions of
quarters, and these were sold in London at 50s. per quarter.
It was clear, then, that if the demand required an additional
supply of a million quarters, it would raise the price at least
10s. per quarter in the foreign market, and another addi-
tional million would raise it to 20s.—(Hear, hear, " That's
a home thrust.") At this moment they could not get a
quarter of wheat at Dantzic for less than 405., and there
could not be found in all that district corn enough to meet
even the tithe of their necessities. Two frien4a.,,of his
engaged in the cotton manufacture went abreact :some: time
ago, for the purpose of examining with 4heir own eyes
the condition of the foreign factories, and the amount and
character of the labour performed in them. They went
. .

Lord Ashley, on retiring, was loudly cheered.
The successful candidates having returned thanks to the
electors, were girt with the sword at the Shire-hall, after the
approved ancient custom.

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. Hildyard, had avoided any contest of argument with
him, 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 lie professed himself to be an adherent. We
regret that press of other matter prevents us from giving the
Noble Lord's address complete; but it is sufficient under the
circumstances to mention, that it bad its due effect upon the
listeners, and that upon its conclusion the crowd gave three
hearty cheers of approbation.

the foreign producer. He (Lord Ashley) first imbibed the
notion that the English farmers were able to compete sac-
fully with foreigners from a conversation which he had had
with a tenant-farmer of this county.—(Hear.) Napoleon in
the zenith of his power, and with the entire comman of the
Continent, found his Berlir and Milan decrees inoperative,
because he was fighting against the necessities of the people.
There was now more wisdom in their forms of Government—
a tenfold force in public opinion, and he was convinced of
this, that in the present day, it would require a Napoleon mul-
tiplied by 20 not only to enforce, but to proclaim such decrees.
—(Great cheering and disapprobation.) But th ere was another
article of British consumption, a reference to which would
throw a light on the question of the corn-laws, and that was
the article of cotton wool. They were dependent on a single
country--that of America—for their supply of this article.
During the war of 1812 with America there was no suspen-
sion of the traffic in this article. The two countries agreed,
as it were, to fight with one hand, and trade with the other
-(Cheers, hisses, and laughter)—and so strong was the
feeling on this subject, that the two Carolinas, where the
cotton was chiefly grown, told the Government of America,
that if they attempted to interfere with it, they would secede
from the union, and declare themselves an independent
power. Now, it was quite possible that neither the good nor
the evil predicted from these measures might follow their
adoption; but he was of opinion that they could not fail to
give a stimulus to agriculture in these realms, and in doing
so they would confer an inestimable benefit on the working
classes at large. The multitude must be fed; and whether
it was done by improved production at home or importations
from abroad, an impetus must be equally given to agri-
culture. There was no wisdom so paltry as that which
inculcated to the professors of a principle the propriety of
not stirring until they were saluted with a kick—(Hear,
hear)—aud never encountered an evil until they tasted what
it was.—(Cheers and hisses.) Now the only amendment
which he felt disposed to propose to the Ministerial measure
was one which suggested itself on grave and, mature con-
sideration, and that was that they should have an immediate
and not a gradual abolition of the corn- laws.—(Cheering
and hisses for several minutes.) He had now but a few
more words to address to them before he finally concluded.
He would ask them was it their conscientious belief that
those laws to which they were so devotedly attached could
possibly be :maintained?—(Cheers and hisses.) He had
never heard the most ardent protectionist assign a longer
duration than five years for the existence of these laws.—
(Hear, hear.) Ile would ask them, then, would they for
such a trifling benefit protract this useless and bitter contest
—incumber the march of improvement, deprive their ulti-
mate surrender—for to that it must come—of all grace and
dignity, and perhaps the measure itself of all hope of mutual
advantage ?—(Cheers.) However painful the issue it shall
not sever those ties of charity which bind me to you, and I
am sure you to me; and I shall rejoice in a hope, amounting
to an assurance, that counsels such as these—devised to con-
solidate the peace and extend the intercourse of nations—to
reconcile man to man and interest to interest, will be abun-
dantly blessed from on high, and I shall hope that your
common welfare, forced on you in spite of yourselves, will
make you confess at last that the free and friendly intercourse
of all the families of the earth will secure your own prospe-
rity, under God, and bring all nations to the love of the law
and the freedom and the religion of the British people.—
(Cheers and disapprobation.)

LITERATURE.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF WEALTH. Second

Edition.

By John Cranford.

The first edition of this work was published anony-
mously at Paisley, by Mr. Crawford, in 1837. Mr.
Crawford says he had then only a vague knowledge of the
question of the currency, derived from those authorities
or supporters of a metallic currency en the one hand,
and of a paper or credil currency on the other, of which
the late Mr. Cobbett, and Mr. Attwood, of Birmingham,
may be considered the respective representatives. Within
the last eighteen months, however, the author having
become a member of the Society for the Emancipation
of Industry, got acquainted with the writings of Mr.
John Taylor, author of " Currency Investigated," whose
views the Society was instituted for the purpose of carry-
ing into practical effect. Mr. Crawford acknowledges
that it is to Mr. Taylor's writings he is indebted for any
sound or correct knowledge he now possesses of the sub-
jects of money and currency ; and his book professes to
be no more than a digest or compendium of Mr. Taylor's
doctrines. The leading doctrines of Mr. Taylor are,
that gold is simply a commodity, dependent for its value
on the same laws which regulate er determine the value
of all other commodities ; that is, the labour or cost of
its production, and its scarcity or abundance in relation
to other commodities ; that labour being estimated in
corn, corn therefore becomes the standard of value,
whereas gold, is mer.'ly the measure of value ; that the
relation betwixt gold, silver, and corn is as one ounce of
gold to fifteen ounces of silver, each being equal to 21/2
quarters of wheat, but that if the corn be taxed this rela-
tion is destroyed ;:for instance, if five dwts. of gold, or a
sovereign, and five bushels oT wheat be natural equiva
lents, and a tax of 20 per cent. be laid on the wheat, that
then, if gold be not appreciated in proportion to the
taxation, the sovereign will now come to purchase or
exchange for 245. worth of wheat in place of 20s. worth;
that hence the depreciation of the pound of account
during the war, in place of having been an evil, as all
our political economists have considered it, was an excel-
lence, as it only preserved the equation which gold pro-
perly bore to all other commodities, enhanced as these
were by indirect taxation ; and that therefore the appre-
ciation of the " stlndard," as it is falsely called, by Peel's
Bill of 1819, has inflicted incalculable mischief on all the
industrious and productive classes of the country, by
preventing the necessary rise in prices, and so throwing
the whole burden of taxation on their shoulders, and, by
the low prices, doubling and trebling the incomes of all
those who live by the taxes, rents, annuities, interest,
and other fixed burdens of the country. Mr. Crawford
illustrates this by the following note :
" The secret lies here : the aggregate quantity of money
has been gradually lessened during the existence of Peel's
monetary policy; but the quantity composing each aliquot
part of which the while is composed, has not, at the same
time, been lessened. The pound, or unit of account, is kept
at 5 dwts. (3 grains), whatever the aggregate quantity of
gold may be. For the sake of illustration, suppose 100 to
represent the whole gold or bullion which forms the basis of
the circulation-5 dwts., or a sovereign, being the unit, and
therefore the 100th part of the whole; but suppose bullion
reduced by a foreign drain 20 per cent, or to 80, the 100th
part would then no longer be 5 dwts., it would only be 4
dwts. But we fix the unit, and therefore in the case sup-
posed the 5 dwts. are raised from the 100th to the 80th
part; that is, it is enhanced in value 20 per cent. So that

whole question of the Currency, and after reading it,
paragraph Mr. Crawford has condensed the
we should like to hear any man attempt to refute' the
position that gold ought not to be fixed in its price,
which Peel's law, either in folly or wickedness, has
done.
Mr. Crawford comes to the same conclusion as Sir
James Graham does in his celebrated pamphlet en-
titled " Corn and Currency," when he says—
" Since we must have a free trade in corn, let us have also
a free trade in money, and destroy that fatal connexion be-
tween the Government and a single chartered bank, which
facilitaies the prodigality of Ministers, and invests an
irresponsible body with the most delicate and important
function of the state—the control over the circulating
medium."

Sir James says—" Rescind Mr. Peel's Act, and restore the
paper circulation to the highest level of the war and of 1817.
The price of bullion would then rise, and the war standard
of depreciation be distinctly indicated—that standard of the
great mass of our debts and contracts, the measure of the
rise of our greatest interests. We then might debase our
metal standard to the precise level of the depreciated paper
currency, and, having lowered our measure of value, adjust it
to the existing interests and contracts created in paper
money, and issue, for the ordinary purposes of circulation,
coin of less intrinsic worth. But this is an indirect way of
doing the same thing : it possesses eel the evils of delusion."
Let Sir James, however, read the above paragraph
we have quoted from Mr. Crawford, and we venture to
say that he will no longer designate the depreciation of
the pound of account in the degree of taxation a " delu-
sion.' He will see it is the only just and necessary way
in which the equation of gold with other values can be
preserved. Monetary reform we hold to be essential to
carry out Sir Robert Peel's adopted free-trade policy
with advantage to the country, and we have not the
slightest doubt there will soon be as strong a popular
agitation for free-trade in gold as there has been for
free-trade in corn ; in fact, the monopoly of gold is a
mere grievous monopoly than the monopoly of corn.
Mr. Crawford's preliminary definitions of the terms
wealth, capital, gold, silver, cash, money currency,
standard of value and measure of value, and value and
price, are the most accurate we have seen, and they must
be great helps to all students of political economy. Tho
work, in short, is an admirable compendium or digest of
Mr. Taylor's writings, and we congratulate Mr. Taylor
on having so able a commentator.
