WOOL.

There is still a fair demand for most kinds of English
wool, and prices are well supported. In foreign and
colonial qualities scarcely any business is doing. Last
week's imports were 6 bales from Leghorn, 1,600, from
Sydney, 90 from Mogadore, 91 from Callao, 100 from
Bombay, 1,496 from Algoa Bay, 140 from Hamburg, 70
from Naples, 150 from Trieste, 24 from Alexandria, and
91 from the Cape.
The following are the current rates of English wool :
Down tegs, is ld to is 3d ; half-bred hoggets, is ld to is
2d ; do. wailers, is Od to is ld ; Kent, fleeces, is ld to
is 1 d; combing skin, 10d to is ld ; Down ewes, is Id to
is ; Leicester fleeces, lld to is Old; flannel wool, is Od
to is 2d ; blanket wool, 9d to is Od per lb.

SIR COLIN CAMPBELL AND THE KE-
PRESENTATION OF GLASGOW-.

A number of gentlemen, says the Glasgow Herald,
represented by our townsman, Mr. D. M'Corkin-
dale, deeming that Sir Colin Campbell might ap-
propriately bo 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.

have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of the 22d November, desiring to be in-
formed whether, in the event of my visit to England
being prolonged, and a dissolution of Parliament taking
place, I would allow myself to be nominated to represent
the city of Glasgow in Parliament. In answer to this
—to me very flattering and distinguished mark of consi-
deration on the part of those gentlemen of the city of
Glasgow whose wishes you have conveyed to me in terms
which I feel cannot be justified by any merits of my own
—I beg to inform you that I intend 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 sentiments you represent, which I
request you will express to them. At the same time I
would add, that, as from the age of fifteen I have devoted
my best energies to the profession of a soldier, I have
had no time to give to the consideration of those subjects
in which the prosperity of so great a commercial city as
Glasgow is concerned. I therefore feel that I could not
do justice to the position which I might obtain through
the good opinion of its electors, and I therefore purpose,
as long as it pleases the Almighty to give me health and
strength, to persevere in a profession to which I am
ardently attached and devoted. Under these circum-
stances, I beg respectfully to decline the honour pro-
posed.—l have the honour to be, sir, your very faithful
and obliged servant,
(Signed) C. caLITZLL."
