GENTLEMEN, -

IHAVE received a requisition, very numerously sig dby
a large and influential body of Electors connect with
this Ward, soliciting one again to offer myself as a ndidate
to represent your interests in the Town Council ; d I have
much pleasure in communicating to you thus e ymy cor-
dial assent to the invitation, and of assurin y u that lam
not insensible of the honour conferred upo eby the ex-

pression of your confidence.
The principles which I professed and advocated three
years ago, and which then had your sanction and approval,

With respect to my views of the erection of Warehouses
by the Dock Trustees, I need only refer you to the amend-
ment of a motion upon this subject, which I had the honour
to move in the Town Council on the 2nd of October, ]839,
which I annex.* Had this amendment been adopted, all the
supposed advantages to the port would have been secured—
the private interests of a large number of individuals would
have been respected—and a very large sum of money, spent
in a fruitless application to Parliament, would have been

.ved to the toti

In conclusion;

—that I shall continue to advocate those en-
lightened principles of commercial policy which have raised
this great and flourishing town to its present eminence, and
that whilst I am anxious to maintain the civil and ecclesias-
tical institutions of the country, I am nevertheless desirous
to promote all measures of safe and useful reform.
I remain, Gentlemen,
•
Yours, faithfully,

me to repeat what I have before

grays as they may think suitable for the erection of ware-
houses, upon such terms and conditions, for ensuring the
due management thereof, as may be hereafter determined
upon ; and that the powers proposed by the Dock Commit-

subject to this qualification, the resolution of the Dock

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF
EXC RANGE WARD.

GENTLEMEN,
HAVING had the honour to be invited by a la e and
highly respectable Public Meeting, of the 7 ectors of
Exchange Ward, to come forward as a Candidate r the Re-
presentation of the Ward, in the Town Council; t the ensu-
ing Municipal Election, I now beg to solicit our Votes in
my favour.

Never having filled any public situation, I cannot appeal
to past services in the cause of the people, as a claim for your
confidence, and a plea for your suffrages ; but should you
return me as one of your Representatives at the Council
Board, I pledge myself to be faithful to your interest, and to
support, by my vote, all measures tending, in my opinion,
to improve the Trade of the Town, and to promote the wel-
fare of the Working Classes of our community.
Believing that the Educatlon.of the People is of the utmost
importance, and most intimately connected with their phy-
sical, as well as moral well-being, I will give my best support
to the impartial system of education now pursued in the Cor-
poration Schools ; being persuaded that these could never be
so generally useful as they now are, if placed under the ex-
clusive superintendence of the Clergy of any denomination
whatever.

As I ant of opinion that the erection of Warehouses upon
the Dock Quays would tend materially to the dispatch of
business, and promote the security of property, I will, by all
Means in my power, further those measures now in progress,
for bringing about this desirable object.
Should this expositkin of my opinions upon Municipal
matters meet with your approval, I shall look forward with
confidence to your support on the day of Election.

I am, Gentlemen,
Yours, faithfully,
WILLIAM WOOD

JOURNAL OF THE MONEY MARKET,

THURSOPAy EVENING.—TiV: great operators in the Eng-
lish Funds,to-day were,t.he Hebrews, who made large bar-
gains for the fall, and prices consequently became even more
depressed than yesterday. Another circumstance, and an
important one too, may be mentioned as keeping the market
down—namely, a demand for money, which sprung up in the
afternoon ; to supply which, sales of Exchequer Bills were
made. This accounts for the decline in the premium borne
by that security. Consols for Money left off 87i to -, and
iunt 87/ to 8. Exchequer Bills closed 5s to is
Bank Stock maintains 166 to 167&.

The de
partero p

laration of the Queen of Spain in favour of the Es-
.rty soon rallied the value of Spanish at the opening
and the Active Bonds were in one instance done

uLbubii
at 22?

The increasing depression in Consols, however,
checked further improvement, and the last price marked was
to -a. Portuguese Bonds were slightly influenced, and an
d
•alent advance took place, but was not long sustained :
.e per Cents were quoted 321 to 1, and the Three per
1+ to 1.. The other Foreign Stocks have given way
under the general weakness of the markets.

---
FRIDAY EVENING.—Some purchases of money stock ral-
lied the prices of the English Funds in the course of the day,
and the advance gained upon yesterday's prices, at the close
of business, was rather under a quartet per cent. The tent-
wants of the jobbers being supplied, money is now
in the Stock Exchange. Consols for Money
I, and for the Account,. 881,-, buyers; Bank
to 1671 ; and Exchequer Bills, ss. to 7s. prem.
Though there has been no great extent of business done in
the Foreign Stocks, the prices of the leading speculative se-
curities are firmer. In Spanish the bargains were mostly for
time, and the Active Bonds left off at 22i; to ; Portuguese
Five per Cents, 32+ to ; Ditto Three per Cents 50 to l, and
the Five per Cents 99 to 100. Belgian, and the Transatlantic
and other Bonds are still heavy. Belgian closed 96 to 98 ;
Danish, 77 to 79; Brazilian, 77 to 79 ; Colombian, 223 to
23; Mexican Old 25 to 26; and Ditto New 27 to B+.
The continued unfavourable advices from Liverpool and
Manchester as to the state of the Share Market there, have
affected the price here.. Birmingham were last quoted 75 t 6
77 prm.; Great Western 16 to 17 pros.; Brighton 11 to 101
dis.; and Blackwall 3+ to 3 dis.
