Our readers will ask, when will the election take place?
To this it is imposallc we can give a precise answer. Tho
Pertisracnt assemble again on Tuesday next, on which
night the new writ will probably be moved ; it may be
sent down by that night's post, to the Sheriff, who it is
likely will make the necessary proclamation immediately.
After that three clear days must elapse, so that Monday
week is the earliest day that can be fixed for the nomina-
tion, and in that case the election may take place on
Tuesday week, from eight o'clock until four, unless as at
the last election, one party should be so much a-head, that
the other should fling up the matter in despair.—Notting.

DUNDEE TIIADE.--This week we have no al-
teration to report in the prices of yarns and linen. Com-
pared with the business geoerally done at this season of
the ear, the demand this spring for Dundee fabrics has
been very limited—caused, no doubt, by the unsatisfactory
state of our relations with foreign countries ; but as there
is now every appearance of matters being favourably
settled, we hope that trade will soon assume its wonted
vigour. Several foreign vessels have arrived from the
lower part of the Baltic within these few days, laden prin-
cir ally with fax and codilla ; and we are glad to learn
that the quality of the stuff gives satisfaction to the im-
porters.—Dundec Courier.

ROMAN REMAINS.--The excavations in which
the Historical and Aram°logical Society of Wisbadea
has been actively engaged for the last four years, on the
Heidenbcrg, in the neighbourhood of that town, have at
length yielded en interesting result, in the discovery of an
extensive Roman fortress, in excellent preservation, which
bad been originally flanked by twenty-eight towers, and
surrounded by a triple moat. The foundations are of ex-
traordincry solidity, and the various compartments of the
fortress are clearly marked and readily distinguishable.
The Society is preparing drawings of these ruins, said to
be the most considerable remains of Roman architecture
ever brought to light in Germany.

SPINNING MACIIINE.—There has been lately
invated at Dinan, in the Cotes du Nerd, a spinning ma-
chine which combines the advantages of a hand and
power loom. It is small in compass, extremely simple,
and of low price-. Two women may keep in motion six-
teen spindles, producing thread as strong and ties as those
of the best manufactories,

JEWISH CONVERSIONS.-oil Saturday last
two young Israelites, sisters, belonging to one of the hest
families in Strasbourgh made a public abjuration, and re-
ceived baptism in the church of Notre Dame des Victoir-s.
They had ben under instruction by the Abbe Bautsin for
some year 3, during which time they have had to encounter
much oppoli:ion from their friends. In a word, they have
renounced friends and fortune to follow Christ. The ce-
remony was in the highest degree edifying,.....Unioers.
