Ia accordance with the calls issued at the last
meetings OF the Union republican general commit
tees primary elections held last evening in the
various assembly districts by the district associations
Of both wings OF the republican party TO eject OIL
and delegates to the general committees for the
year 1859.
The radical republicans OF the Second Assembly
district held their election last night to determine the
officers and organization Of their portion OF the par
~, at No. Centre street. Two tickets headed re-
spectively by Theodore O. Williams and Denis shea
were run and the voting and the feelings Of the vo
tiers were unusually excited. When the inspectors
announced that 1t was nine p M uhe hour for clos
ing the polls) rush made for the ballot boxes
and some excited individual attempted TO turn out
the lights. Both efforts were unsuccessful, owing TO
the presence Of large squad Of police. To add TO
the confusion pistol was fired probably with u
blank charge since no one was hurt up the narrow
stairs leading TO the balloting room. For few mo-
ments there was great confusion and quite fair
chance FOR fight; but the presence OF the large body
OF police put danper on the prospect and II ended
In u mutual rccrimination The vote as announced
finally was l26 for the Williams ticket and 70 for the
opposing ticket.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

There is nothing special to nste this week In
the general condidition of the money market
Currency at Chicago continues scarce, and there
are no accommodations at the banks except fol
moving produce. In Ottawa the banks are easier
and good borrowers have ne difficulty in getting
accommodations.
Gold is a very little lower, and is quoted in
New York at 1431S, and is worth about 14o in
Ottawa Silver 1876
Foreign drafts are very little lower, and are
being purchased quite largely by foreigners here
to send to their friends at home
Exchange on New York and Chicago remains
about the same.
Government bonds are steady, but very dull,
and will probably go little lower. They are
quoted by +. A. Sherwood & Co. as follows:
