ELGIN.—It is uncertain whether Mr. Fox Maule will con-
test this district. Sir Andrew Leith Hay is in the field on
the liberal interest. A conservative, Mr. Duff of Haddo,
will also stand.

PERTH.-it is generally believed that Mr. Greg will not
be wound-up again for the Fair City. Mr. Fox Maule it is
supposed will take his place ; but, we trust, not without op-
position.

KILMARNOCK.—TIiere is some talk of opposing Mr. Col-

party to stand on their ground.

STIRLING.-Mr. Ayton, advocate, is in the field against
Lord Dalmeny—both are liberals—the former the more ra-

WicK.—We understand Mr. Dempster of Skibo, a worthy
conservative, has every chance of defeating Mr. Loch.
WihToN.—Sir Andrew Agnew, it is confidently believed,
will oppose Mr. Mactaggart, the present radical member,
and with proper exertions, there is little doubt he will carry

SLAVE.LABOUR SVOAtt,

!edeotedsvasto of time, most of it mt.

eupied by ministers and their supporters in • needy
tions, this debate of eight nights' duration in the House of
Commons has at last terminated in the signal defeat of the
leading measure of this most .precious budget, " the intro-
duction of foreign slave labour giown sugar 'into the con-
sumption of this country," a fate which I believe is certain
trvuttend the remaining portions of it, should it be perse-
vered in. . .

Were the object of this novel debate not of a most serious
and vital character, we might be amused by the ingenious
manner in which it has been defended—we might for the mo-

ment be led to forget that we have other colonies, foreign
possessions, public debt, or public faith, to protect—we might
have been induced to conclude that those countries,,whose

produce they were anxious we should consume in preference
to our own had a choice of cheaper and better markets than
ours, to which if they pleased (should we put them out of
humour) they could resort, and draw from them the supplies
of manufactured goods, and that tijey were in a mind to give
up all other sources of supply, provided We would abandon
our colonies, and give a preference to their produce. Whilst
