LONDON COMMERCIAL REPORT

WEDNESDAY EVENING.—There was nn activity in the
markets to-day, and there did not appear to be any tendency
to rally from yesterday's depression in prices.
The large public sales of Tea coming on to-morrow check
business in this article also, and prevent any material fluctu-
ation in prices.
Commercial advices of the 25th ult., from St. Petersburg,
notice sales of 15,000 poods Y. C. Tallow, first quality, at
31 1-7 roubles per berkower, to be delivered in August, with
2 6-7 rs advance. _ _

The Stock Market has been exceedingly flat all day. Con-
sols dosed 881 to 9 for the opening. Bank Stock 1691 to
1701. Exchequer Bills 7s. to 9s. premium.
In Foreign Securities there was nothing doing, but prices
were depressed. Spanish Active with the Coupons were
down to 23 to 1. Portuguese Five per Cents 331 to 1, the
Three per Cents 19* to 20. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents 52ft to 1, the Five per Cents 991 to 100. Belgian 100
to 1. Brazilian 67 to 8. Mexican 271 to 1. Colombian
201 to j.

ELECTION MOVEMENTS

LONDON (CITY oF).—The liberals seem very badly off
for candidates. As both Messrs. Grote and Pattison retire,
there only remain in the field Sir M. Wood and Mr. Craw-
ford. Lord. John Russell will not, we think, consent to
expose himself to the risk of a disgraceful defeat (what in-
terest in the city would the noble lord represent ?) ; and at
least three of the conservative candidates will be returned..
with Sir M. Wood on the liberal side. Mr. Crawford has
very little chance of again misrepresenting the electors of
London.

MARYLEBONZ.—Mr. G. A. Young hal; challenged Com-
modore Napier to submit their conflicting claims to a public
meeting of liberal electors, and offer to withdraw if a ma-
jority of the meeting should think the gallant commodore
the more eligible candidate. To this mode of adjusting the
dispute the commodore demurs, on the ground that it would
be impossible to exclude non-electors and toriss from a pub-
lic meeting. _ _

IPSWICH.—Rigby Wason, Esq., has again come forwrrd
as a candidate for the suffrages of the whig-radical clique at
Ipswich ; his address is a free-trade one.
BARNSTAPLE.—It is now stated that a second conserva-
tive candidate will be started with Mr. Hodgson.
BEwDLEY AND STOURPORT.—Sir Thomas Wilmington,
the radical member, will assuredly be supplanted by Mr.
Robert Monteith. The latter gentlttnan has offered himself
as an independent conservative.
BIRMINGHAM.—The question no longer remains pro-
blematical, whether or not the borough shall be contested by
the conservatives at the approaching election. A large meet-
mile was held on the subject on Monday, night, and a still
larger was held on Tuesday morning, when it was resolved
that two candidates should be brought forward. There is
every probability that Mr. Richard Spooner and either Mr.
James Taylor or Mr. Alston, will be the parties.
BRECKNOCKSHIRE.—There is no doubt of a strong oppo-
sition against Colonel Wond in the ensuing election in Breck-
nockshire, and we therefore hope that gentleman and his
friends will be on the alert to prevent an addition to the "no

corn-law" members.
BRIGHTON.-Sir Adolphus Dalrymple arrived here, and
issued an address to the electors, stating that as his princi-
ples were so well known, he need not repeat them, but
should immediately proceed to pay his respects personally to
his friends, when he hoped to meet with their support.
Captain Pechell has also issued an address. _ _ _

CARNARVON.—Lord George Paget has addressed the
;lectors in the liberal interest, in opposition to Mr. B.
Hughes.

DURHAM (SOUTH).—Mr. Pease positively retires.
GATESHEAD.-Mr. Hutt, M.P. for Hull, intends, it is
understood, to start for the borough of Gateshead at the en-
suing election. The chartists, however, it is said, are de-
termined to oppose him might and main.
HIIDDERSFIELD.—The electors here are perfectly tired of
_ _ _ _

their sham representative, Mr. Stansfield, whose conduct,
or rather no• conduct in Parliament, has thoroughly disgusted
them, and justified his nick-name of " old woman." They
are looking out for somebody else, and we understand that
by the advice of their old friend Mr. Oastler, who was de-
feated at the last election only by a majority of 21, it is in
contemplation to send to Sir George. Sinclair a requisition to
stand for this borough. There could not be in any point of
view a better choice, as, independently of his general politics
and unquestioned talents, Sir George has completely identi-
fied himself with the opposition to the diabolical code of the
new poor-law, which is so decidedly and deservedly unpopu-
lar in Huddersfield.

The public, and especially the constituency of Newark,

will be proud to learn that that accomplished scholar and
distinguished young nobleman, Lord John Manners, the se-
cond son of the Duke of Rutland, will stand as a candidate
for that ancient and fortunate borough, along with his friend
Mr. W. E. Gladstone, the present able and excellent mem-
ber. There is no doubt of the success of both indeed, it is
understood that Mr. Solicitor-General Wilde will not ven-
ture upon a contest.—London Courier.

KIDDERMINSTER.—Mr. Godson, the present member for
this town' has made his appearance amongst his constitu-
ents, and has been most cordially received. There is not the

least doubt of his return

The Earl of March, eldest son of the Duke of Richmond,
s in the field for West Sussex—as an out-and-out eonserva-

live. It is believed that his father will take office under
Peel. The son's declaration, in his electioneerfng address,
that " he" can repose no confidence in her Majesty's pre-
sent government, is supposed to express the father's opinion.
YORKSHIRE.—In the North and East Ridings of the great

County of York, the present members will, in all probability,
be returned without opposition. In the West Riding there
will be a severe contest, the independent electors being in-
disposed to accept Lord Fitzwilliam's two nominees, namely,

his own son, LOrd Milton, and Lord Morpeth. The con-
servatives have called into the field the Hon. John Stuart
Wortley, and Mr. Beckett Denison, of Doncaster, and such
is the improved character of the register, and such the spirit
of the electors, tha: there is every reasonable prospect that
these two highly eligible gentlemen will be triumphantly re-
turned.

PETERBOROUGH.—Mr. Thomas Gladstone, late M.P. for
Leicester, and brother to the members for Newark and Wal-
sall, will stand for this borough, with every prospect of suc-
cess. The Whig candidates are expected to be George Fitz-
william and Sir Robert Heron.

On Wednesday morning the following frightful gig accident
occurred in the New-road, St. Marylebone, London. A.
horse, in harness, having part of the body of a gig and the
shafts attached, came galloping along the New-road, towards
Nlarylebone, at a furious rate, from the direction of Battle-
bridge. At the corner of leveland-street, New-road, he
turned suddenly down that street, at the moment a Mrs.
Ann Bennett (the wife of a police constable), accompanied
by her father, turned into the street from Cirencester-place,
and the shaft, striking her on the side of the head, fractured
her skull in so shocking a manner that no hopes are enter-
tained for her recovery. Her father has also received serious
injuties. The horse afterwards turned again into the New-
road, and, in his progress, three other persons received
dreadful injuries, and were removed to St. Marylebone In-
firmary. The animal was secured near the Yorkshire Stingo.
It was unknown who it belonged to, or where it came from.

BIRMINGHAM.—According to a calculation in the Mid-
land Counties Herald, the population of this town, as ap-
pears from the returns for the present census, now amounts
to considerably above 180,000 inhabitants. We desire to see
perfect free trade between Great Britain and Ireland ; be-
tween Somersetshire and Middlesex ; between Kildare and
Dublin ; but we not only do not desire, but protest against,
equal competition in our markets between the independent
British or Irish farmer, and the corn-growing serf of Li-
thuania or Moldavia. We do not desire equal competition
between the free black of Jamaica, whom we have been at
such pains and cost to make free, and in whose prosperity as
a fellow-subject we have a direct interest, and the slave black
of the Brazils, in whom we have no immediate interest what-
ever ; and we do not desire equal competition between the
Canadian timber-cutter, whose clearances are in fact so much
added to the capital of the state, and who would not carry on
his improvements without our market for his lumber, and
the Norwegian or Prussian landowner, who, though he might
supply us with better timber, would not invest the proceeds
in permanent improvements on the British soil.—Dublin
Evening Mail.

LATEST POLITICAL CHANGES.—Many and important are
every day taking place in the political world. To some
we may openly refer . others are as yet not in a state to be
publicly announced. The Duke of Richmond has declared
positively against the government. His grace has placed his
proxy in the band of the conservative Lord Ripon. The
Marquis of Wellesley has withdrawn his proxy from the whig
peer that had previously held it, and handed it over to the
Duke of Wellington. The Duke of Roxburghe has encouraged
his tenants to petition against the government plan, and has
desired his proxy not to be used in favour of the govern-
ment as heretofore. Lord Carrington has declared against
the government, and has sent his own lawyer as a con-
servative candidate for the future representative of High
Wycomb ! The Earl of llchester only waits to resign his
situation under the government, and to declare against them
in consequence of the request of Lord Melbourne, who
said to Lord Ilchester, " Pray withhold your resignation.
We shall all go out together shortly!" Such are some of
the changes which have come to our knowledge, and which
we are able to communicate with confidence. To this we
may add what we know to have been said by Earl Grey to a
friend of his lordship's at the Queen's ball, to the effect
that he had seen many wonderful things in his political life,
but none so extraordinary and unjustifiable as the conduct
of her Majesty's present ministers.—Northampton Herald.

DISCOMFITURE Or MR. ROSS IN BRLFAST.-With the
exception, perhaps, of Dr. Cooke's challenge to Mr. O'Con-
nell, nothing has been done for the conservative cause of so
dashing or effectual a character as the bold and decisive
proceeding of Mr. Emmerson Tennent, to which we hare
the pleasure, this day, of requesting our readers' attention.
The facts are simply these :—Mr. Tennent, being tied to his
parliamentary duties in London, Mr. D. R. Ross styling
himself of Rosstrevor, went down to Belfast, to canvass Mr.
Tenneut's constituency, on the ministerial interest; and,
Belfast being so peculiarly a commercial and manufacturing
town, sought to recommend himself, as might naturally be
expected, by frequent harangues, on the injustice of the
present corn-law, and the expediency of the changes pro.
posed by ministers. We don't at all find fault with Mr.
Ross for making the most of his opportunities, " while the
cat was away," any more than reasonable persons will
with Mr. Tennent, for pouncing upon Mr. Ross, as he
has done, on his return. He did his best ; and certainly,
during the time he was in the field, poured as great a quan-
tity of warm water down the backs, and as large an amount
of nonsense into the ears, of Mr. Tennent's constitu-
ency as Lords Charlemont and Gosford, who sent him
there, could in reason have asked or expected. To the
manufacturers he promised a cheap loaf, so as to enable
them to lower their wages. To the agriculturists and those
depending on that interest he held out the assurance that
Ss. a quarter would cause little or no difference in prices,
and that, though the loaf was to he lowered for those who
consumed it, the matter, as regarded those who produced it,
was still to remain as broad as it was long. And, finally, to
the artisans he represented that low wages were not by any
means to follow on cheap provisions, so that, though the
manufacturer was to be benefitted by the reduction in the
price of food, it was not to be at their expense. Consequently,
if his representations to the manufacturers were true, his as-
surances to the agriculturists and labouring artisans were de-
ceptive. If his representations to the agriculturists were
true, his assurances to the manufacturers and artizans were
deceptive. And if his representations to the labouring arti-
sans were true, his assurances to the manufacturers and agri-
culturists were deceptive. But, as there was nobody on the
spot to confront him, and expose these discrepancies to his
hearers, he managed, according to the class he had to address,
to carry on a flourishing thimble-rig—commerce, agriculture,
and labour being the three thimbles under each of which in
succession the pea of promised profit turned up at the•call of
the admiring bystanders. In this state of affairs Mr. Ten-
nent came home, and without an hour's delay took a step
which has rarely been paralleled for promptness, boldness,
and effect. He challenged this daily orator to a public dis-
cuesion of the corn-law question, in presence of the con-
stituency. Mr. Ross immediately bundled up his thimbles,
put his pea in his pocket, and declined the discussion !
