We are glad to observe that Colonel Ferguson
is meeting with a hearty IA elcome in the Kirkcaldy
Burghs• He has had various meetings with the electors,
who seem to have been greatly pleased, both with his po-
litical sentiments and the frank way in which he expressed
them. It is presumed he will be allowed to walk the
course, as no other candidate has yet appeared. —Scotsman.

MADAME LAFFARGE.—The Audience states
that Madame Laffarge is to undergo her confinement for
life in the prison of Cadillac, in the Gironde, and is there
to be placed in the sell which was occupied by the woman
Bancal. who obtained such horrible celebrity in the Fualdes
me. The servant who has never quitted Madame Laffarge
from her first arrest is not allowed to accompany her.
" The prisoner," it adds, •' appears to be resigned to her
fate, but shows some little repugnance at the idea of being
obliged to wear the prison dress of gray cloth. She has
addressed an affecting letter to the Queen, thanking her
Majesty for saving her from being exposed on the pillory."
