missal of the offender. _ _

DUNDEE TRADE.—We are7snll witnollt any
decided improvement in our general business to report,
and we now wait anxiously the next accounts from Ame-
rica, as on them depend greatly the character of our
winter operations. The prospects for the working-
classes are not encouraging, and the unfavourable result
of the corn crops in this quarter must seriously affect their
employment and wages during the ensuing winter. Seve-
ral vessels with flax and tows have arrived here from
Archangel during the last eight days, but there are now
very few more expected, for some time to come. Flax
moves eff in smart quantities at last week's prices. Yarns
and linens are without alteration either in demand or
prices.--. Dundee Courier.
