Matters continued much as before ; except that, according to the Diario of the 21st ult., the reports from all quarters were more satisfactory, and tran quillity then reigned generally throughout the kingdom. There was no longer an enemy in arms. The power of the Junta had been crushed, and the authority of the queen was, for the time at least, su preme; yet the government of the queen was exhi biting little energy, and the reorganisation of the kingdom proceeded bat slowly. The financial ember rasaments were as great as ever, and there was still no prospect of a loan. Though expert enough in devising the means of oppression, it is manifest that those in power are unequal to the flatlet, and that it will requtre cooler heads and abler hands to origi nate the measure of comprehensive reform which the condition of the people demands, and to carry out to the means by which alone the crisis which threatens Portugal can possibly be averted. There was nothing . wanting which could give effect to the expedition proceeding against Madeira and the other revolted settlements of the crown, but there was nothing doing to consolidate the peace which the arms of the allied powers had forced upon the people. Matters, of course, cannot continue thus, and England must either maintain a force in Portugal or suffer the people of Portugal to redress their own wrongs. No party appears nowto have any confidence in the govern ment, who have become the subject of common jest. The high chartists had sent a memorial to the queen wider a feigned name, commencing as follows : Benhora—lt becomes requisite to address to the throne the sincere and agonising voice of the parties into which the ex-Portuguese nation has hitherto been digided, now that they are shout to expire, not through the salut►ry interven tion of your majesty'■ worthy allies, or the subtle measures of Hispano-Anglo Gallic di plomacy,whose agents here call them • selves the =nista* of the Portuguese ex-crown, and still less through the effects of the troll:l...into ens care con ceded by your majesty to all your subjects—Miguelite, Sep temheist, sham chartist, rogues, deserters, and meassina—but by virtue of the inanition and extinction of all your subjects, male and female, big and little We entreat' your majesty to send instantly to Queen Pomare, to console her for being placed under the French protectorate, by as. suriog her that her misfortune is nothing to yours, she hay. ing only one protector, while you have three, by the grace of the blissel Trinity, Ste. According to our present accounts, the prospects of an abundant l.arveat continue ; new wheat was sell ing at a reduction of fifty per cent. on former rates. There had been but few transactions in the funds, for want of purchasers. The discount on Bank of Lis bon notes was at 1,700. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE, MEMBERS RETURNED. CARDIGAN BOROUGH.—Mr. P. Pryse.

Itus. sell, the chairman of the Great Western Railway, at Read in,v, the less of his seat has been a matter of anxiety, not only among these interested is the company which he re resents, but to the rejected member himself, whose pm. session of a seat in parliament is requisite for the re tention of his seat of presidency ►t the board of directors, It is therefore said to be definitively ar ranged that Viscount Barrington, who is deputy chair man of the above railway, will retire from the county representation to make room for Mr. Russell. Owing to the extremely clime approach of the election, Mr. Russell has not had time to issue an address to the constituents, so that the arrangement will not he generally known tillthe nomination, I which talus place to-day (Tuesday), when Viscount Bar riogton will make known his retirement in favour of Mr. Russell. It is in contemplation among a large portion of the electors who are opposed to Mr. Posey on account of his anti-protestant principles, to urge Viscount Barrington not to retire, with a view of displacing the former gentleman ; but it I. unlikely that his lordship will stand a contest with Mr. Piney, who would be strongly supported by the agricul tural interest. HEREFORDSHIRE. The nomination is fixed for to-morrow morning. The candidates are Mr. Bailey, jun., Mr. G. Cornewall Lewis, and Mr. F. Hagiritt. There is a rumour current that Sir John Cam Hohnouse, Bart., will be put in nomination at the hustings. The county regietzation is said to be such as to ensure the election of two reformers.

SUMM:K LAND._ The nominatina of the candidates for the borough of Sun derland took place yesterday.—Dr. Brown proposed Mr. David Barclay. as a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Sunderland in parliament. Mr. J. Allison seconded the nomination.—Mr. J. J. Wright then pro posed the Bight. Hon. George Dodson, Lord Mayor of York, an the most fit and proper person that could possibly be selected to represent the borough of Sun derland in the ensuing parliament. Mr. R. Spoor seconded the nomination, and said that whoever op posed Mr. Iludson was a taaitor to the well-being of the borough.—Mr. W. Morley proposed Mr. W. A. Wil kinson an a fit and proper person to represent the borough in the ensuing parliament on liberal principles, and as an advocate for the modification of the navigation-laws.—Mr. Joshua Wilson s.condixt the nomination.—Mr. Barclay then addressed the (lectors. defending his conduct in par liament on the corn laws and the sugar duties, and avowing his conviction with respect to the future, that the navigationlaws formed an exception to the principles of free trade, and that it would he dangerous to repeal them. — Mr. Hudson then proceeded to addreu the electors, re lying upon their suffrages in his favour upon the protee tioni4 principles which he had always advocated, and upon his strenuous exertions for the local improvement of the borough and port of Sunderland.—Mr. Wilkinson next ad dressed the electors, claiming their suffrages so a liberal and a free-trader in the full sense of the appellation —On a show ' of hands bring taken, the mayor declared it to have fallen ' upon Mr. Hudson and Mr. Wilkinson. A poll was imme diately d mantled fir Mr. Barclay. Thanks were then voted to the mayor, and the proceedings terminated. QUARTERLY RETURN OF HEALTh AND lORTALITY. This official and authentic document confirms the apprehesslms that were entertained respecting the high amount of mortality during the spring quarter. It is important to at t er, in the first instance, that the quarterly res u m e are o bt a i ne d f rom Ili districts, subdivided into .5.q. sub districts. 36 districts arc in the metropolis, and the r:ma:ning 81 com p r i s e , w ith s o me agricuPurai districts, the principal towns and cities of Eogland. The population was 6,612,800 in 1811. The deaths registered in the June quarters of the five years were as follows: 1843, 40,313; 1 80, 38977; 184.5, 40,647; 1816, 43,734; 1847, 51,585. Thus the mortality during the last spring quarter, ending J une 30,g reatly exceeds the average morality of the preceding corresponding peri'ds. Had the mortality been uniform. and the population increased from 1839 at the rate of 1.75 per mat annually, the deaths during the last guarter would only have amounted to 44,840 instead of 51,684, the actual num ber, which is an ezzem of 6,745 above the corrected average. The deaths registered during the four quarters of the five Pin endi v e June 30, 1847, were—lB43, 163,162; 1844, 164,673; 1813, 17(1,810; 1846, 163.058 • 1847, 212,210. The t . average ..r7 roes is 161,1431. Add 7.19 per cent. for in crease of pnpilafion, and the average applicable to 1847 is 177,700. The exces• on the year ending June 30,1847, was thus no less than 31,000 deaths. The districts tinder re •II`W are however stated by the registrar-general to include nearly all the towns of England, end are • always unhealthy in their natural state. The mortality is not more than 18 in 1.000 in many districts, and entire counties, where the population is far from being in • favour able eandition ; and after every allowance has been made, if the ages dike inhabitants had been taken Into amount, the mortality should certainly not exceed 2pe cent. ; at which rate, as the population was about 7,274,900, the deaths in the year, June, 1846.7, would have been 145,498, or l ee by 32,200 than the average 177,700. The excess of mortality tried by this standard during _the pear ending June 1847, was 66,712, and that is only e n s. fewth part of the parakeets of the United Kingdom. These holispregere us kw do information that sickness prevailed to a fearful extent thaweihout the eseadry daring the 4rt se = quarter. Common =pa the re vue fatal ; se sere or less ow the sentetey hest the m am et et vegetelle food, the potato haste, *Med ; ell had became scam and dear ; typhus brake est. is ISM siddlssie, and sho decline. To sit te the selangti e es of the counws no sign of try, the poor of Ireland dying ef stswesdee, and consumed by fever, even east ea the sort et lissiand, are now lodged in the crowded, illidest parts of the most insalubrious cities, or in worthiness sal beigitals provided by Eng • shah pari.hes. In Leaden, we ere told, small pox has been latterly prevalent; the death*, which were from 3 to 7 weekly in the beginning of the year, amounted at the close of June to 26 in the week. Typhus, which always prevails more or lea, killed 58 persons in the last week of June; and was on the increase. Diarrhea, too, was becomicg more fatal as the temperature advanced. Purpura and termite meals have both been unusually common. They are prolia bly of the nature of scurvy . The following remarks on diet are particularly deserving of attention, emanating as they do from the high medical authorities in communication with the ratistrarieneral: _ dime prejudice against fruit, and the absolute necessity in diet of vegetables containing an acid, as the potato does, were dwelt on before scurvy end its kindred diseases mad, their appearance. It is true, that fruit, when taken to caress, produces symptoms which may be mistaken, by persons unacquainted with medicine, for common cholera. But beef or mutton in excess will do the same ; and the ex perience of this year has shown more clearly titan had ever been shown before, that bread and meat alone are not suffi cient to sustain the system in health. Fruit and acid vege tables are an auntiel part of the food of man ; but it appears that the body when duly supplied with the prin ciples it derives from these sources, husbands them up, and can do without the acid diet for some time. The appetite for fruit and pickles is not then without its use, although the chemists have not hitherto explained how vegetable acids subserve nutrition. Without these aliment, the blood loses some of its essential properties, and escapes from the vessels in purple spots under the skin, or with more fatal effect into the structure of internal organs." Our readers are probably aware, that • great number of medical men have fallen victims to their inde faVitable attention to the sick in the poor districts of Liverpool and Manchester. The returns before us allude feelingly to these philanthropic individuals ; and the registrar-general very properly expresses a hope, that the heroic conduct of those now alive and of those who have perished will nut be forgotten by their country. But clergy men as well as medical men have died. The registrar of Great Howard-street, Liverpool, says:— " Eight Rooms Catholic priests have fallen victims to their indefatigable attention to the poor of their church, mid one clergyman of the church of England. Another (curate of St. Manias) nearly fell a sacrifice to the same decease. Indeed, their exemplary conduct in visiting and relieving the sick has been the theme of praise with all. From 10 ta 14 re nons connected with the relieving department in the parish offices have also died of the fever, taken by them in discharge of their duties." We observe that ins:ructions were given to the registrars throughout the country to state in their returns whether any epidemic disease, such as measles, typhus, ex. has been pre vailing in their districts. The number of registrars is 447. 118 have made returns to the effect that typhus, scarlatina, and other epidemic diseases, have been raging to • calamitous extent. The registrars in Liverpool and Man chester state that the " Irish fever" has prevailed amongst the lower classes to an unparalleled degree. Indeed, we base seldom perused a more afflicting account of sickness and mor tality than is here presented to us. The metropolitan returns do not present a much more favour able aspect than those of the large country towns. In all the districts the mortality during the last spring quarter exceeded the average of previous quarters. The deaths during the last five spring quarters were—in 1843,11,748; 1844, 11,597 ; 1845, 11,424 ; 1846, 11,423; 1847, 12,361. A very large proportion of this mortality was occasioned by epidemic diseases consequent on the want of ventilation, water, and the absence of sanitary measures.' On this subject the registrar general says, " That insalubrity exists is incontestable; the causes of it arc known; and that they admit of removal to a considerable extent is allowed by all who have paid atten tion to the subject. But it is a long time before the plainest principles can be carried out. W hen the works are commenced, it will be some years before they can be completed; and as yet nothing has been begun. After Captain Coo k had demonstrated that the health of the navy could be immeasurably improved, thousands of the best seamen had to perish, expeditions to be defeated, million, of pounds expended, 30 years to elapse before anything what ever effectual was done to place the health of the British navy on a satisfactory footing. So it is to be feared that through the natural obstacles in the way, and the perti nacious opposition of parish vestries, of corporations, and companies, and the enemies of the public health, many times the number who have perished this year will fall • sacrifice are the towns of England enjoy, trretraineenention of galenite, a moderate share of the health which nature confers on the country around them." There are two striking and most important facts, so aptly illustrative of the advantages arising from sanitary measures baud on science, that we add them to the foregoing remarks. In 1750 the condition of Newgate and other prisons was such that a fever, called the "gaol fever," broke out, and in the above year killed the Lord Mayor, two of the judges, and an atderman on the bench, who were trying prisoners at the Old Bailey Session.. The assistance of the Royal So . ciety was requested by the City authorities, to ventilate the prisons; and accordingly, Sir John Pringle, and other dis tinguished fellows of the society, took such steps as effeetu ; ally banished the fever. This is the first record of eyste . matic sanitary measures being adopted in our prisons. . Now, these are carried to such a state of perfection that it was only a few weeks ago that we had the pleasure r of recording, under the head of " Provincial Intelligence," that in Glasgow, when fever was raging around, the prisons, containing about six hundred inmates, had riot one fever patient. Surely these facts render all ceniment unnecessary. The meteorological tables which accompany the neurn en able us to deduce the following results. The mean tempera ture of the quarter at Greenwich was 53 deg. 2, which is 2 deg. below that of the corresponding' quarter of 1846, and 0. 2 above that of the quarter for 2o years. The tempera ture of the dew _point was 44 deg., being lower than in the spring of 1844, o, or 6, by 3 deg. I ; 2 deg. 4 ; and 4 deg. 2 respectively. The mean height of the barometer was 29.71:3; the quantity of rain 4. 49 inches. The horizontal movement of the air 819 miles weekly, being about the average amount. We observe that some valuable instructions for making and registering meteorological observations are appended to the report. CRICKET. THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS MATCHES.

Bd. to 6e. per stone ; second quality, 6e. 4d. to 6e, 6d.; moderate, de. to 6e. 2d. The 'apply rather scanty. -- - KILMARNOCK FAIR, JULY 30.—1 n the Horse fair there was an average number, and prices of good drought Horses varied from 201. to 401. There were not many Cows present, and they were generally in bed condition —those from Ire land particularly so. For Highland Cows the prices ranged from 41. to 81. ; Irish, from 31. 10s. to 41. 10s. HORNRY FAIR, JULY 30.—This fair was pretty well imp plied with both Beasts and Sheep, yet so great was the de. mend for Mutton and Beef of first-rate quality, that several buyers were unable to procure what they wanted. Beef fetched 50. to 6.1 d.; Mutton, sd. to 61d. • and Lamb, sd. to 6W. per lb. Inferior stock was rather dl of sale. LANGHOLSI F Mt, JULY 26.—The number of half-bred Lambs present was greater than for some years past. Prices ranged front SO!. to 245. Tha show of Cheviot Lambe was less than last year ; many, no doubt, holding back their lota until Lockerbk, in consequence of their smaller size this season, and the desire of the owners to have them somewhat improved before selling. Prices, how ever, were anything but small, it being one of the beet markets ever held at Langholm. The average priest of the Cheviot Lambs was from 12a. to 14s. We have heard of some that reached 16s. Langholm is rather a regulating market for wool. The rates were below last year's in about the some proportion as at other places. Not much business was dame. MAODALRN OR MANNHILL FAIR, ATHIRST 2.—The show of Beasts was not large; those for sale were chiefly poor and ill-conditioned, and they sold at lower terms, by from 3e. to ea per head, than at Weyhill. The best Cows were in good demand, as were also Calves for keeping. The few Sheep offered were sold quite as high se at Aires ford. The Horse fair was ver7 large, yet the chief part were inferior kinds. Good cart Cola and Horses were in con siderable demand, several making from 35/. to 451. each ; two.year.olds, 211. to 301. ; three to four-year-olds, 311. 10s. to 341. In the saddle and gig strings there were many fine animals, making prices up to 001. each., very indifferent fetching 3.51. to 40/. NORWICH, J ULY 31.--Our market exhibited a good show of Scot and Short-born, with a few Demons. For want of buyers, trade was dull in the extreme ; in feet it was impos sible to effect sales even at lower prises; this turned out one lof the dullest markets this year. Fat Beasts scarce ; trade dull at 6d. to 9s. per stone of 141 be. The Sheep pens were w filled. Lambs quite as dear. Keeping Sheep, a large number, from Is. to 2.. per head lower. Fat Sheep, Bs. ed. to 9.. per stone, without a clearance. Ewes, of alleges, scarce and dear. Store Pigsfrom 225. to 255. per head. Fat Pork, 8.. to 8.. 3d. per stone. Swignow, ALIOIRT 2.—Fat Calves sold slowly at 9e. to 10e. per score ; lean i3east, Cows and Calves were not so saleable. For Yesterday's .uarstets so lid pap*. SHIPPING.

Jollife, for the second and third men, took place yesterday. The com petitors were, as usual, young watermen whole term of sp• prenticeship had expired since the last year's race, and the distance, as usual, from the Swan at London-bridge to the Swan at Chelsea, against tide— William H. Ellis, Westminster J. H. Devoy, Roiherhithe 2 J. H. Knox, Old Barge-house. Richard James Mee, Greenwich. T. J. Williamson, Bonier's-quay. William Perry, Lambe•h. They started on the very top of the tide, at a little after six in the evening. It was an extremely even and excellent start, all being away at the some moment, without any cep. parent advantage. After a few strokes Mee and Devoy shot out in advance, Ellis lying close on to Devoy'a quarter. Devoy then drew a trifle more in advance, and led the way up to the beginning of Millhank, shortly before their arrival, at which Mee bad fallen astern, and Devoy and Ellis were making a most gallant race, the latter evidently drawing upon him at every stroke. Moe and Knox had also for some distance rowed very sharply. Nearly off Messrs. Cubitts', at Thames-bank, Ellis had rowed into the first place, and holding it, won by three lengths, the second man haying rowed extremely hard to endeavour to alter his position. THE POTATO AND BEAN CROP.—The result of our visits to many of the principle growers of potatoes and beans it this locality enables us to state that the bean crop is irretrievably lost ; but we have great pleasure in stating that this potato crops show no symptoms of disease, so far as observation can discern. It is, however, remarkable that a few weeks since several plots of potatoes exhibited the anal symptoms of disease ; but which, to the astonishment of many, after a few genial showers of rain, accompanied by the luxuriant beams of a meridian sun, resumed a most healthy appearance. Great doubts are, however, enter tained for the safety of the general mop. Perhaps on no previous season have we had such a numerous dam of growers of potatoes as we bast at the present.—Hoflor Guardian. COMMERCIAL MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o'Cloek.—We have had an uneasy market this morning, as the result of the heavy soles made yester day by a leading broker, and understood to be for account of the Scotch banks. These sales alone have thrown 130,0001. stock upon the market, as they were made for transfer this day. Consols soon after the commencement of business were marked as low as 88 toy for money, and 88: to for account, showing therefore a decline from the highest quotations of yesterday of no less than' per cent. The cessation of sales, and the apparent absence of any speculative tendency among the dealers caused a slight re-action from the extreme points of depression noted, and Consols are now quoted 884 buyers for money, and 881 buyers for account.

Tna Times, constituting itself the Treaaury organ, announced, at the commencement of the elections, that the nature of their result was already f. 40- cast, and that this would be a working majority of 30 to the present ministry—a majority which, though small, was peculiarly its own, and would preclude its having recoaree to other parties in the hoar of a division. . . We regret to say that the elections, as they become known, do not at all bear out the exactitude of this prophecy. The liberal side may, indeed, have gained ems thirty votes—that, too, by rejectinkr some men who, though called conservatives, arc an favour of freedom of conscience and of trade. Moreover, there have been changes in the different shades of liberal ism; and than changes, we fear, instead of serellias the working majority of any ministry whatever, vidt be found to be merely a replacing of praeleal liberals by impracticable ones. Ireland, whose staple produce in polities is the mad and the imprac ticable, will of course increase the latter quality of representatives. And what, then, we should be glad to know, is to be done with the House of Commons? If, indeed, these were quiet times—quiet, we mean, in domestic policy—if the public was contented that the state should rest on its oars, and government merely govern, ministers might be found to perform the simple task of administration with skill and good results. But such is not the humour of the pub It is eager for change, impatient of repose, as frill of go-a-head ideas as lotearnari himself. And as for ministers, prune or secondary, hoping ever to take a nap, that is out of the question. The statesman for the English public, at present, is he that will do most. And this is SIT ROBERT PEEL'S incontestable merit. Al a servant of ell work he promises to do more than any ten, and without saying exactly what he will do, Sir ROBERT has sought to persuade honest JOHN But• that, were he taken into ministerial service, and charged with the general management, he would effect such a clearing, such a repairing, and Buil.* an economy, that every political housewife in the country would bless her stars for the advent of suck a prodigy. Three-fourths of these pretensions of PEEL are no doubt prodigious humbug, but they are, in • great measure, successful humbug, u far as he himself is on earned, and have the effect of disparaging and we* n- Mg the more honest and less artful efforts of the whig Imilere. In fifty instances the radicals and the imps.. 4 Make Will abandon Lord Jo lIN for Sir 1100 E nr,acu their balancing between the two men will render both unsafe. They will probably help neither to ver come the other, and yet, if both coalesce, they will go into opposition against both; so that really the pro blem of how to form a strong liberal government, or even a strong semi-liberal government of progrves, becomes something of as difficult solution as a neli tical algebraist might require. The elections seem not at all calculated to remedy the state of incertitude, the mutual neutralisation of parties and power, which made people long for the dissolution of the late parliament. The present else- Bons have undone in some degree, but not wholly, the reaction of 1841. Bat taking place under no strong feeling or dominant idea, we dare not hope that they have returned a parliament much more likely than the last to show a decided majority, or to ensure a compact and strong government. The Times calculates that "in the parliament recently dissolved, the protectionists formed nearly ' one-fourth of the whole number, and the Pint. party were of equal strength." We cannot admit this to be correct. In the great free trade and protectionist divisions of 1848, the free traders, including Peelitee and liberals, were about 340; the protectionists, 240. Of the 340 majority, the Peelites did not exceed 112. It may be true that Lord GEORGE BENTINCE, in his vagaries during the last session, could not command a greater fol lowing than 112 or 120 ; but this is no crite rion of what the party really was, or might have been, under an able leerier. In taking the late Home of Commons and calculating from the changes effected by the late election, wo must estimate the strength of parties by the large and decisive "otes of 1816. And if we scrutie;se and count up these changes, as we have endeavoured to do in a list given in another column, we fear in* that the result will be found to be what we have plored—a balance of parties, likely to render govern ment just as difficult in 1848 as it was in WE, apples. swim. After the close of the poll in Glasgow, Mr. DENNISTOUN informed his committee. in confidence, that his case was the exact countei part of Mr. MACAULAY'S. If Mr. DENNISTOUN can find In this parallel such consolation as Sir GEOFFREY HUD ' SON found in being arraigned on the same charge as the jolly six-feet knight PEYERIL of the Peak, it would be cruel to grudge it to him. Bat to any other than Mr. DENNISTOUN the two Cafes present much more of contrast than similitude. Until this lest elec tion, Edinburgh has been represented—as large constituencies returning two members are best represented—by one gentleman of local weight and influence. who is presumed to bo con versant with the affairs of the district, and one gen tleman of public eminence qualified to advocate the views of general policy maintained by the majority of the electors. Edinburgh has ceased to be so repre sented ; and Glasgow, which hitherto has not been so represented. is now. In short, the result of the Glasgow is exaotly the converse of the Edinburgh election. Glasgow has got its COWAN off its shoulders, and Edinburgh has encumbered itself its DENN/STOUN. . . The result of the Glasgow election is ono of which any constituency might be proud. Four enit didates offered themselves. Their avowed principles— principles which all of them were known to 11.4v0 avowed consistently for years—were essentially the same. Had the electors been satisfied it ith mete professions—with a mere election " cry," to adopt the phraseology of the Tapers and Tadpoles—any e-no candidate was as good as another. Bet the Glesgoly electors went more closely to work, and scrutinised narrowly the ability of the candidates to act up to their professions. They found that Mr. DENNIor,, um, during his ten years of public service, was utterly inefficient; they found Mr. DIXON stooping to be the cat's-paw of the coterie which sought to force Mr. DENNISTOUN again upon the electors; end they wisely resolved to have nothing to do with mere men of professions, " promise they never so fairly." In Mr. MACGREGOR they found a man who had shown himself possessed of the intelligence, energy, and perseverance required for public business in the service of government, and in Mr. HASTIE one who had developed in their local affairs the talents best fitted for the wear and tear of , the senate; and they chose these men as having ability to perform as well as to promise. 'fho in , at unscrupulous devices were resorted to by the friends of the rejected candidates, but the sturdy citizens of Glasgow were not to be deterred from their purpose, and they carried their men triumphantly. There is one circumstance connected with these 1 wo elections which our liberal leaders will do well act to neglect. At Glasgow the same elements of confusion —soreness about free-church matters, cenColod ideas relative to the question of Roman catho lic and general toleration, and the like — existed in as ample abundance as at Fein burgh. Yet the result at Glasgow is a decided improvement in the r epresentation: at Ed inburgh quite as decided a deterioration. The position of the ei-decant liberal leaders in both places explains tho contradiction. At Glasgow, the former popular leaders are left even more unequivocally " alone in their glory" than at Edinburgh. Bat, at Edinburgh, the malcontents of the liberal inclining who secede have no organisation, no leaders to take the place of the old. In Glasgow an efficient committee to conduct the election of MeEsrs. HASTIE and MACGREGOR was organised at once, and that committee is now about to
