, M. Remilly's amendment, proposing a tax of 15f.
per alumna on dogs, was distributed yesterday to the Deputies. We
find that it is modified by the exemption of all dogs used as guides
by blind men ; dogs employed in tending or driving cattle; dogs
used exclusively as watch-dogs at farms, manufactories, and houses
and buildings in iso:ated situations. —Gal/gnaw'.

REPRESENTATI)N OF WEST SUFFOLK.—Strange
as it may appear, the vacancy in the representation of West Suffolk
has existed nearly a fortnight, and-we are within a week of the elec.
tion ; yet, up to this nornent, it appears a matter of uncertainty
who is to be THE candidate. The Whig party have made no move-
ment; it rests, therefore, with the Conservatives to determine
upon whom the choice ihall fall.—Bury Post.
ELECTIONEERING MOVEMENTS.—It appears that we
are to have an electioteering canvas from Capt. Sutherland of
Udale, who threatens tt contest with Mr. Loch for the representa-
tion of the northern btrghs at the next election. We are in-
formed that Mr. Matheion, of Achany, is prepared to offer himself
for the representation o' Ross-shire, and that he will be opposed
by Mr. Mackenzie, of Sratwell, it being generally believed that, in
the event of a dissolutiol, Mr. Mackenzie of Applecross, the pre-
sent Member, will not stain stand for that county.—John o'Groat
Journal.
