NOMINATION-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.

The nomination of candidates for the seat in Parliament
for the borough of Southwark, vacant by the death of Ad-
miral Sir Charles Napier, took place this morning. Origi-
nally there were four candidates for the distinguished
honour, namely, Mr. Scovell, Mr. Mellor, Mr. Fawcett,
and Mr. Layard, but the second gentleman having given
up the contest some days ago, and Mr. Fawcett having
announced late on Saturday that he intended to withdraw
his pretensions, the other two gentlemen—Mr. Scovell and
Mr. Layard—contended for the coveted seat in the House
of Commons. In consequence of the fineness of the weather
a very large concourse of persons assembled in front of the
hustings for some time prior to the commencement of the
proceedings, and kept, up the usual excitement that inva-
riably attends contested elections. As each candidate
arrived, attended by their principal supporters, they were
most heartily cheered by the crowd.
The HIGH BIILITF of SOUTHWARK, OR coming forward
to open the proceedings, informed the assemblage that they
had assembled that day to elect a fit and proper per •
son to represent the borough of Southwark in Par-
liament. Two gentlemen were candidates for their
suffrages, and in order that they might be able to form
their opinions as to which of them would best fulfil the
duties of the office it was necessary that each gentleman
should be allowed a quiet hearing. (Cheers.)

The respective candidates having been proposed and
seconded, both gentlemen proceeded to address the electors.
Mr. SCOVELL, having paid a tribute of respect to the late
distinguished member, Admiral Napier, said he ventured
to offer himself to fill the vacancy in the representation.
He said he had taken the best means in his power to make
the constituency aware of his opinions with respect to the
many questions likely to be submitted to Parliament in the
ensuing session. He presented himself as a local candi-
date. In 1852 he came forward, when there were great
misrepresentations of the character of Mr. Pellatt, but
he was proud to say that upon that occasion no person-
alities were indulged in on either side. It was the same
in 1857, with regard to the late Sir Charles Napier, and in
that year and in 1859, he voted for Mr. Pellatt. In sup-
port of his claims as a local candidate, he could refer to
several questions of vast local importance in which he had
a common interest with the electors of Southwark. One
great question was that of the equalisation of poor rates.
(Hear, hear.) It was well known to those present that the
parishes on the northern side of the river were increasing so
much in prosperity and wealth that palatial edifices were
springing up in all parts, while the labouring classes, by
whose toil and skill these results had been produced, were
compelled to remove to the parishes on the southern side of
the river, to which, in case of distress, they and their fami-
lies became chargeable. That was a question that must be
submitted to Parliament, and it was one in which he felt a
great interest, having been for many years a member of an
association having for its object an equalisation of poor-
rates, and he asked the electors to send him to Parliame,,A,
to assist, if possible, in carrying out the object. if re-
turned to Parliament, he should support Lord Palmer-
ston on the great principle which he I7ras engaged
in carrying out, and which he had mrried out, if it
were true as was reported, that Pe? in was now in the '
hands of the Allies. (Cheers.) Ho would also support
Lord John Russell in carrying out the great principle of
non-intervention—the right of every people to choose their
own government. Referring to domestic questions, Mr.
Scovell declared that he would have supported Lord John
Russell's Reform Bill, but would have desired to see that
scheme amended by the addition of the ballot and a lodger
franchise. lie was also in favour of triennial Parliaments,
and, although unfeignedly attached to the Established
Church, he thought the interests of that Church would be
best served byan immediate and total abolition of churchrates.
Those being his opinions, he felt, from the favour he had
received, that to-morrow afternoon he should find himself,
at the close of the election, at the head of the poll with a
triumphant majority. (Loud cheers.)
_ _ _ _

Mr. LAYARD said he came before them at the request of
a very influential deputation, whom he thop.ght fairly
represented the opinions of the voters of ti,,e borough of
Southwark. They had informed hip., of the sort
of person the electors required, and as they
thought his political opinions `"sere in unison with
those of the majority, he kad consented to become
a candidate. He thought fra was right in judging that the
deputation which invite.. him to stand was not a clique,
and did not represent a clique. (Cheers.) Among its mem-
bers there were Mr. Apsley Pellatt's chairman and vice-
chairman, and men who had been foremost in supporting
Sir C. Napier, Mr. Locke, and Sir W. Molesworth in former
days. He had come there as a matter of duty, and he was
willing to abide by their decision as to whether he should
be their member or not. If that decision was in his favour he
should be a proud man ; and he would be moved by no abuse
that might be cast upon him during these seven or eight days.
He was content to rely upox what he had already done, and
to rest his claims to their confidence on what he would do
hereafter; and no calumny should deter him from taking
the course which he thought right and respectful to them
and to himself. He had been taunted with putting his own
claims against Mr. Scovell's. But what else could he do ?
It was a question whether he or that gentleman should be
sent to Parliament. He had had some experience of Par-
liamentary tactics, but Mr. Scovell was quite ignorant of
them. Mr. Scovell, however, had had considerable experi •
ence in that borough, and had great interests there.
For himself, he had neither the one nor the other.
He wanted to go to Parliament, and to remain their mem-
ber till he was too old for any other work, and he knew
that for him to neglect their local interests would be as
much as his seat was worth. He should value their un-
bought aid ten thousand times more than any paid ser-
vices, even if he failed to win the election; and so ought the
constituency also to value them, for not only was his reputa-
tion at stake, but theirs was at stake likewise. If he carried
that election, having spent nothing but the mere legal ex-
penses—and he intended to protest even against these—then,
he said, that borough would have earned for itself a name
in English electioneering history that was likely to lead to
most important results ; for he told them that, if returned
to Parliament, the first thing ho should do would be to try
and put an and to those means of electoral corruption. Mr.
Layerd concluded by earnestly appealing to his hearers to
be early at the poll.

The supplies of wheat on show in the Lending country
markets held on Saturday were only moderate. Fine dry
samples sold at slightly enhanced rates ; but damp qualities
were much neglected. Barley commanded quite as much
money, and most other kinds of produce realised former
terms.

Throughout tho continent there has been scarely any
inquiry for wheat for spring shipment, and the quotations
have had a downward tendency. All other articles have
commanded less attention. The latest advices from New
York state that supplies of produce were abundant, and
that next to nothing was doing for our markets. Freights
had given way considerably.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last
week, were limited. From abroad, we received 63,347
quarters of wheat, 8,209 barley, 11,358 oats, 4,496 beans,
2,651 peas, 1,400 tares, 9,813 linseed, 9,545 rapeseed, 1,000
maize, 285 sundry seeds, 5,803 sacks, and 45,661 barrels of
flour.

A very moderate supply Qf wheat, but in somewhat im-
proved condition, was received fresh up to-day, both from
Essex and Kent The limited number of samples on offer,
and the steadiness in most of the country markets, pro-
duced rather more firmness in the demand for both red and
white qualities, which, in some instances, compared with
Monday last, advanced is per quarter. At that amount of
improvement the bulk of the samples found buyers.
Notwithstanding that we were heavily supplied with
foreign wheat, the demand for all kinds was somewhat
firmer, and, in some instances, prices were the turn higher.
The business transacted, however, was by no means
extensive.

Floating cargoes of grain were firm in pride ; but the
demand for them was by no meaus active.

We were but moderately supplied with barley. Nearly
all kinds were in improved request, and prices generally
were well supported.
The demand for malt, both old and. new, was in a slug-
gish state, at about previous rates.

Oats, the supply of which was only moderate, changed
hands steadily, at very full prices.
Beans were firm, at quite last week's quotations.
Peas commanded previous rates, with a fair demand.
The flour trade was steady, at la;st week's prices.
