Sydney, 90 from Mogadore, 91 from Callao, 100 from
Bombay, 1,496 from Algoa Bay, 140 from Hambnrg, 70
from Naples, 150 from' Trieste, 24 from Alexandria, and
9, from the Cape.
The following are the current rates of English wool :
Down toga, is ld to is 3d ; half-bred hoggets, is ld to is
2d ; do. wethers, is Od to is id ; Kent, fleeces, is ld to
Is 10; combing akin, 10d to is ld ; Down ewes, is ld to
is 141: Le;oester fleeces, lid to is Old; flannel wool, is Id
to is 2d ; blanket wool, 9J to la Od per lb.

SIR COLIN CAMPBELL AND THE jr.
PRESENTATION OF GLASGOW.

A number of gentlemen, says the Glasgow Herald,
represented by our townsm:sn, Mr. D. Al`Corkin-
dale, deeming that Sir Coli n. Campbell might ap-
propriately be elected for Glasgow in the event of
a dissolution, wrote on the, subject to the gallant
General, who replied as follows :
" United Service Club, Pall-mall, London,
December 7, 1855.
" Sir,—I have the honour tt t acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of the 22d Nov ember, desiring to be in-
formed whether, in the event! of my, visit to England
being prolonged, and a dissolut don of Parliament taking
place, I would allow myself to he nominated to represent
the city of Glasgow in Puha. nent. In answer to this
—to me very flattering and die \e-inguished mark of consi-
deration on the part of those tentlemen of the city of
Glasgow whose wishes you bar a conveyed to me in terms
which I feel cannot he justified by any merits of my own
—I beg to inform you that I in .tend leaving this country
for my post in the Crimea in a.. few days, but that I am
most deeply sensible of the high honour contemplated by
the gentlemen whose sentimen to you represent, which I
request you will expre-s to the m. At the same time I
would add, that, as from the a; ;o of fifteen I have devoted
my best energies to the prof :scion of a soldier, I have
had no time to give to the con) ideration of those subjects
in which the prosperity of so ; ;rest a commercial city as
Glasgow is concerned. I therefore feel that I could not
do justice to the position whit 11 I might obtain through
the good opinion of its elector) r, and I therefore purpose,
as long as it pleases the Almighty to give me health and
strength, to persevere in a orofession to which Tam
ardently attached and devote 1. Under these circum-
stances, I beg respectfully t. r decline the honour pro-
posed.—l have the honour to be, sir, your very faithful
and obliged servant,
(Signe' 1) " C. Caldrura,."
