concluded amid loud cheers. Three cheers which were proposed for the
Charter proved a decided failure; while, on the other hand, three were
proposed for a repeal of the corn laws, which were responded to by
nearly the whole of the crowded meeting.

MR EWART AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.--William Ewart, Esq., the indefatigable
member for the Dumfries District of Burghs, is at present paying his

Lochmaben, and on Saturday Sanquhar, and addressed the inhabitants of
both these burghs.--_Dumfries Courier_.

the enterprising republican to efforts which may be more generally and
more permanently successful.--_Morning Chronicle_.

TRAVELLING BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FRANCE.--The number of persons who passed
from England to France, by Boulogne, in the week from 1st to 7th
September inclusive, was 2,409, and by Calais, 838. It appears that the
opening of the Southern and Eastern Railway as far as Folkestone has
increased the number of travellers between England and France by nearly
