MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 8,000
2,000 being on speculation. The market closed
steadily. Shares were much the same.
Thellerald brings news of April 9 from Sydney. Trade
was not brisk. Exchange on London, 5 per cent. discount.
Freight for Wool, I%d. to per lb. "Ilie Sydney people
had held a large meeting on the subject of the New Zealand
conflict, anti it was the general opinion that energetic mea-
sures alone could preserve our tooling in that colony. A
collision is said to have occurred at. Kororarika between
Johnny Mackey and the Europeans, during an outbreak at
the Bay of Islands, in which a number of persons were
killed ; but we are glad to learn that two vessels, with more
troops. had sailed from Sydney. The New Zealand Bank
had stopped, there being a defiCiency.of 2,500/. Pecuniary
assistance, by means of public subscriptions, was to be
aflorded to the unfortunate settlers, who were di iyen out of
their homes.
The Funds arc rather heavier to-day.

REPRESENTATION OF SUNDER-

LAND.

THURSDAY, AuGusr 7.—The following letters addressed
by the late Noble and talented representative of this borough,
to A. J. Moore, Esq., Colonel lhompson's professional legal
agent, will explain the cause of the delay which has occurred
in the issue of the writ for this borough :
" llowick, August 1, 1645.
" Dear Sir,-1 have just received your letter of yesterdas ;
in reply to it, I beg to inform you that 1 have not been abbe
sooner to take measures for eutaining my summons to the
House of Lords, because 1 could not find the patent of peerage
which it is necessary to produce. This has, however, now
been found, and 1 have instructed my solicitor in London to
apply to the Chancellor to issue the summons without any fur-
ther delay.

I am, yours " GREY."
" Aug. 5, 1845.

" Dear Sir,-1 write to you one line to say, that I havo.
received this evening an intimation from my solicitor its
London, that the papers which I had sent up, and which
had supposed to be all that were required in order to obtain
my summons to the House of Lords, are not considered sub-
cient by the Lord Chancellor's secretary, and further evkience
in support of my claim has been called for. This evidence has
been sent off by return of post, and I trust there will be no
further delay. I shall be obliged to you if you will explain to
the electors of Sunderland that I regret very much that which
has already taken place, and that I have done all that is in my
power to expedite the issue of the writ, and to relieve theta
from the excitement of a canvass and contested election. I
should be glad to have this known by ail parties in the town ;
as I should consider it avert bad return for the kindness 1 ex-.
perienced there four years ago, if I needlessly prolonged a period.
of suspense, which I know must be very inconvenient.
" I am, dear Sir, yours, " GREY."
The usual nightly meetings save been held, which have net
diminished either in interest or numbers ; and in addition, a
meeting of ladies exclusively was held in the Lecture Theatre
of the Athenaeum this morning, which was very numerousky
and respectably attended. The principal speakers were Cot.
Thompson and Mr. Robert R. R. Moore.
Another diabolical attempt has been made to damage the
character of the Gallant Colonel in the estimation of the Wes-
leyans and other Dissenters, by the publication of some gat blest
extracts from speeches delivered at Hull, and reported in slot
Hull Pocket (the Tory newspaper of that town ), under the
head, " The Religious and Political Opinions of Col. Thco:dp-
son." There is also a quotation from Hansard of part of a speech
delivered by Cul. Thompson in the House of Commons nn a Bill
being introduced for the better observance of the Sabbath.
It as follows :—" By the same right by which our fathers
protested against the doctrines and practices of an ancient
church, so he would protest, and if he stood alone in the House
he did not stand alone out of doors, that the judicial observance,
of the sabbstli was not only not directed in the Scriptures, to
which all parties professed to look for authority, but was abst,-
lutely prohibited." This is surely innocent enou.,lh, though it
may be regarded as a ening sirs by some few Wesleyan 3 • its
publication, however, shows the shifts to which the Tories' are.

full expectation that Mr. Hudson will be returned, and. that
