DUNDEE.—Mr. J. B. Smith, President of the Manchester
Chamber of Commerce, and of the Anti-Corn-law Association,
has accepted an invitation to stand for Dundee, and arrived
there on Monday.
ROXEURGHSHIRE.—The Hon. J. E. Elliot is generally
blamed for abandoning this county at so early a period. A
meeting of Roxburghshire electors was held in Jedburgh on
Tuesday, at which Mr. Elliot was present. The propriety of
his resuming the field was strongly urged upon him, and he
at length consented to allow himself to be put in nomination,
but declined to canvass.
lIIWICE, TUESDAY Moeierern—lt having become known
here last night, about seven o'clock, that our county was still
to be contested, not less than 5,000 human beings were in
the streets in less than an hour. About half-past eight o'clock
the shops were shut, and all business suspended. In short,
the streets were one moving mass of men, women, and chil-
dren, who paraded the town, preceded by a band of
music, and a man carrying a placard with these words,
" Electors of Hawick who want a pound of sugar for four-
pence, and a four pound loaf fur fourpence, vote for the Hon.
J. E. Elliot ! Electors of Hawick who want to pay eight-
pence for a pound of sugar, and eightpence for a tour-pound
loaf, vote for the Hon. Francis Scott !" Such a scene was
never seen here, not even at the passing of the Reform Bill
KILMARNOCK BURGII.s.—We are enabled to write with the
utmost confidence of the security of the Reform cause in this
district. The reception which Mr. Celquhoun experienced at
Rutherglen on Friday must have proved no slight damper to
the hopes of the ex-legislator. The contrast between the con-
temptuous reception of Mr. Colquhoun, and that given to his
Liberal opponent, was of the most marked character, and, along
with the accounts received from the other burghs. fully justifies
us in stating, that Mr. Johnstone will without fail be returned
for this district.—Glasgow Argus.
FALKIRK BURGIIS.—The blustering tone assumed during
the past week by the supporters of Mr. Baird, was calculated
to deceive those who were unacquainted with these burghs.
From returns which we have seen, and the accuracy of which
may be relied upon, we have no hesitation in stating, that
Mr. Gillen will be again returned by an overwhelming majority.
—ibid.
GLASGOW.—At a meeting of Conservatives, held in the
Black Bull Hall, on Friday, Wm. Stirling, Esq., in the chair,
it was resolved to request the Lord Provost to allow himself to
be put in nomination as a candidate for the representation of
this city in Parliament. The meeting also resolved upon ma-
king application to Mr. Carrick Moore and Mr. Horatio Ross,
to come forward along with Mr. James Campbell. If (says
the Argus) the Tories make up their minds to come forward
in earnest, we promise them a much more decisive beating
than they received on the last occasion, when Mr. Robt. Mon-
teith, who has since seen the hopelessness of contesting Glas-
gow, stood forward as the colleague of Mr. James Campbell.
WICTOWN BURGHS AND COUNTY.—Our advises from the
higher parts of Galloway state succintly that the Burghs
are safe for Mr. M"faggart, whilethe County will presentsome-
thing like a neck-and-neck race. Both candidates have been
exceedingly industrious; Mr. Blair, from previous service in
Parliament, possesses decided advantages on that ground alone,
and has agents to aid him equally experienced, but his op-
ponent, Captain Dalrymple, has a winnine. presence that gaired
numerous friends wherever he went; and such as dip deepest
into his secrets say, " success is in the cards, provided they
are well and skilfully managed."—Dumfries Courier.
STENVARTRY OF KIRKCUDBRIGHT.—In the Stewartry the
issue has never been doubtful, excepting as regards the exact
amount of the majority that will poll in favour of Mr. Murray.
—lbid.
liniirrsiurnr.—As yet it is not by any means certain that
a Tory candidate for this county will come forward. The
requisition to Lord Redhaven —not " emanating spon-
taneously from the electors themselves," as is alleged
by the Constitutional, but hawked about with great dili-
gence by some Tory agents, who arc sadly in want of employ-
ment as canvassers—has received some signatures on the Sea-
field estates, but in other parts of the country it has been
treated with ridicule. Up till Thursday night, not a solitary
signature had been obtained in the whole of the Enzie, and in

market, Keith, Fife-Keith, and Newmill, on Thursday, and
carried all before him.—lbid.
MORAYSIIIRE.—A requisition has been set ageing in Mo-
rayshire, calling upon General Sir Alexander Duff to allow
himself to be put in nomination for that cunty.—lbid.
INVERNESS BURGHS.—It is understood that Arthur I.
Robertson, Esq., of Inches, will start in the Conservative in-
terest for the Inverness district of burghs.

constituency, soliciting their election.
FLUCTUATING DUTIES.
The present mode is not only absolutely fallacious, but
injurious—:o the farmer, whom it professes to protect ;
the consumer, whom it professes to relieve ; and the
revenue, which it professes to assist ; benefiting no one
but the speculative merchant, whether English or foreign.
* As * The merchant having purchased
his wheat and knowing that it will arrive here at a cer-
tain time, it becomes of course a matter of interest with
him to pay as low a duty on it as he can ; and with this
view, a proceeding, technically termed " working the
averages," takes place,. which is, forcing. the averages up,
by entering fictitious sales at high prices, whereby the
duty is reduced from the amount it would be, if left to
the natural action of the markets, viz., 13s. Bd. or 10s. Bd.
to Gs. Bd. to 2s. Bd., or even as low as ls. per quarter, if
not interfered with by any unforeseen and uncontrollable
change in the market. This proceeding is also assisted
by the speculators frequently, when the arrivals of Eng-
lish wheat are small (which they must be or there would
be no cause for the importation) buying up the whole or
greater part of the supply as soon as the market opens
for the day, even if afterwards resold at a loss ; as it
then becomes a calculation whether, to obtain the desired
end, it may or may not pay him to sacrifice 3s. or even
ss. on 10,000 quarters of English wheat thus purchased,
to save 7s. or 10s. duty on 30,000 or 50,000 quarters of
foreign wheat. This operation may be looked upon as
impossible, but that it does occur is notorious to all who
are conversant with the trade, and the annexed extracts
from printed circulars, addressed by factors in Mark-lane to
the farmers and dealers in the country, prove that the fact
is no secret, although the extent to which it is done may
not be suspected.... ,Blot as it will not always answer to
pursue this system.; the_ proceeding of " working - the
averages" is the most general method. The first time it
was worked lately was in the year 1838 ; the years
1833-4-5-6, having produced average crops, there was
no importation of foreign wheat, except in small parcels
for seed, &c. ; but the harvest of 1837 having proved
considerably below an average crop, it was soon evident
that foreign corn would be wanted, and speculation be-
came rife. The holders of foregn corn having been
locked up nearly five years, a release was eagerly looked
for, and it was thus obtained.
Having thus explained' the actual practice under the
present system, and, I think, shown the fallacy of the
practice, in comparison with the correct intentions of the
theory of the sliding scale, the evils arising from it will be
easily understood.
. The farmer is.not protected by it, as it is clearly in the
rower of the merchants, by co-operation, to defeat the
Intended protection. by inundating the market with an
immense quantity of foreign corn, at a duty of is. or 2s.
sd., perqUarterewhich is almost equivalent to a free trade.
The consumer suffers, from having the price of wheat
forced up unnaturally, to a higher rate than it would
otherwise attain, during those operations ; and also by
having the supply of foreign corn, intended to relieve
him, withheld a longer period—as it naturally folloWs,
the merchant will not pay a duty of 10s. Bd., or Gs. Bd.,
if he sees it is likely that, in three or four weeks, he will
not be required to pay more than 2s. Bd. or ls. per
quarter.
The revenue, it is equally clear, must suffer to the
extent of the difference obtained by the merchant in the
duty ; and this, it will be seen, is no trifling amount, as,
taking the difference in September, 1838, between Gs.
i Bd. and ls. to be ss. . onreven 8d the three

Marguerite Boutiet, a single woman, 76 years of
age, living in the Rue Contrescarpe, was taken ill about a fort-
night ago, and was sedulously attended by two of her nieces.
The morning before last, she perceived death approaching,
and desired that a notary should be sent for to make her will.
As she had always lived as if she were in a state of poverty,
her tee attendants, believing that she was delirious, hesi-
tated, and reminded her that this would create an expense,
which they had no means of paying. The dying woman re-
plied, that she knew what she was about, and insisted on the
man of the law being brought. A notary, and a sufficient
number of witnesses being collected, she commenced by dic-
tating leeacies of 100,0G0fr. to cash of her nieces, then pre-
sent, who, on hearing these bequests, were only the more
confirmed in their notion of the weakness of their aunt's
to earn
in-
tellect; nor were their convictions lessened when she went on
making further dispositions of property to an amount in the
whole of 500,600 fr. Their scepticism, however, was some-

list words, for she expired almost immediately after. Yester-
day her body was lying in a coffin covered with a rich poll.
and surrounded by 150 lighted tr,pers, in the narrow alley
leading to the house in which she lodged, and thence was
borne away for interment by a splendid hearse, followed by ten
mourning coaches.
. DOVER, .JULY I.—(From a Correspondent.)—
The nomination took place to-day, Mr. Rice, Sir J. Reid,
Sergeant Holcomb, and Mr. Galloway, are the Candidates,
and severally addressed, the freeman and electors. The show
of hands declared in favour of Mr. Rice and Sir J. Reid, and
there is no doubt they will be re-elected to-morrow by great
majorities,
