PPP' LANARKSIIIRE ELECTION. The enthusiasm excited by thii contest was di.. played by the people of Lana►k, on Thurday, e lir day of election, in a variety of forms, and to a degree of intensenrst, of which an adequate idea c..uld only be formed by an eye.witneis to the im p %tient crowds which awaited Lord Archibald Fla. 'stilton's arrival, and applauded his entry by shouts %Inch made the welkin ring. It would be indrli. cite to the one Candidate, mid invidious to tl,e etlivr, to repeat the emphatic acclamations of the i..lluptt ions claws., while they recounted the various coots of their illustrious favourite, as they drew his t.aliage into the county town, preceded by their owes Wooers and music. _ _ _ Soon after mid-day, the Sheriff opened the bossi ness its the Sheriff Court House, and adjourned to the County Hall, where a protest was taken against the regularity of publishing the writ. It being evi dent that the Hall was utterly incapable of admit ting the people who pressed to witness the proceed ings, an siljnarnment took place to the Church, after precautions taken to secure the middle area fur the use of the freeholders. The front of the gAlleries exlsibittel a placard in these words," Wel come, illustrious Hamilton !—Hail ! protector of the civil and religious liberties of your country !" No words can discribe the fervour of his receptiun on entering the Church. On proceeding to call the roll, the third person no it, the Hots. William Elphinstone, was, after he hid voted, asked by Mr. Dickson, Advocate, to t..ke the trust oath; and after stating that he had held his vote for forty-five years without ever being asked to do so, he yet declared his readiness to oblige the proposer, although not bound in these ciictinistancev. The trust oath was also put 1.) Mr. C. Hamilton, and to Mr. James Wingate, and Mr. Archibald Millar. Much time was con mimed by discussions excited during the calling of the roll ; and it was settled and acted on, that only freeholders should be permitted to address the Meeting. Sir John Maxwell, of Pollok, Bart. as Preset; and Mr. William Bennet, W.S. as Clerk, were chosen by a majority ; and the Meeting proceeded to purge the roll. It stolid be impossible to abridge, and too te dious to &tail, the minutiae by which the proceed g. were protracted till long after midnight. Some pond', however, occurred of more prominent i Arrest. A claim of enrolment for Mr. Robert Brown, factor for the Duke of Hamilton, was oppimed by a long hut of intetrogatories. implying that be was dependant on the Duke'. family, and not in • condition to vote freely, without hazording the loss of his offire. _ _ After the most prompt and satisfactory answers bad been made I.y Mr. Brown, Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON stated, that he had, from motives of delicacy, abstained from tak ing any part in the discussion ; but since it was terminated, he deemed it due to the family, to Mr. Brown, and the Meeting, to observe, that if Mr. Brown ►1 11l crape to hold his present employ tueist, it would be a loss not to himself, but to the family of the Duke. A very interesting and spirited discussion a►ose on the claim far admitting as a freeholder the new CARlidate. Sir Attainder Inglis Cochrane. It was objected that his conveyance was null and void, fiom expressing untruly the price of his vote at , 2.00/. his than he actually paid for it, and from tn.t Inswing , the stamp required for the actual price. Nit explanation of the fact was offered for the clainsaut, and in the issue his claim was refused. HOBERT LOCHART, Esq. of Castlehill, in a manly speech, proposed Lord Archibald Hamilton, as a most conscieinious, attentive, and independent Member of ['ornament; sod, from his excellent t Intruder, high rank, respectability, slid eonnexions, as thy fittest person to be again returned as the Re premaitative of the county. JAMES Joiyeu HOPE VERE, Esq. of Blackwood, in a speech of great eloquence and feeling, seconded the nomination of the late representative, whose con duct hail on all occasions exhibited a most honour. ulile, independent, and perfectly disiuterested system of pnliti ~l principles. He had defended the Con stitution on a very occasion, and maintained the liberties of the people, and the integrity of the laws, and in every view of his public life was the fittest person to represent this important county. Lord A RUDD D HAMILTON then stated, that after the long and fatiguing sitting, it would be un becoming to take up much time in thanking them for their support, or in professions of future service. " I um not unaware," said the Noble Lord, " that the line of politics that I have uniformly adopted hog exposed ins occasionally to censure from some if my constituents ; but I feel coufident, that if my character and conduct are to be fairly estimated, not by the accounts of my enemies or adversaries, I say it without meaning any offence, but from the impartial opinion of the public at large, I trust I shall he found on no occasion to have acted from any selfi-lt or interested motives. I not only love nay Sovereign, sod profess to admire our political Coostitutiou, but I really value it, have ever strug gled to maintain its legal forms and free spirit, and have omitted no opportunity of withstanding mph to suspend, impair, or infringe it. I may take the liberty to add, that the interests of this comity, and even the wishes of the individuals which c root its population. have been always attended me •itli impartiality, seal, and assiduity. I hope I may he permitted to say, that iu the dis charge of soy various public ditties I have never In-en influeocell by either subserviency to a Minis try. or even the fear of any party in Opposition. If I have nut had the good fortune always to conci liate the good opinion of all my constituents, 1 fear I could nut hold out any different line of future ! stabile conduct to recommeud me to their favour. This address, as well as those of the mover and seconder, was received with great applause. The Honourable CHARM DOUGLAS then spoke n-ally dm. : —" The Noble Lord has told us that he has acted on his own lodgment (and I am sure tootle can be boles), and we are now met to act opine ours. I propose as our Representative the I lonouroble a.ol gallant Admiral Sir Alexander Inglis Cochran'', who has earned abroad a cleanse ter which I sin sure he will not disparage by his sir.% to us at home."

This magnificent place its now a scene of most de lightful festivity. It is not merely a fears of splen did hospitality, but also of the most valuable intel lectual eti.oyineist. Mr. Coke, who, by his own efforts, loos converted a poor anti alincoat barren waste into a luxurious genitl', has also, by his exam ple and patronage, spread his improvements over all the neighbourhood, and instead of the necessity hf importing from more favoured districts grain for tile use of t h is part of the island, Ines enriched them b 7 reporting to other places their superabundance. his day the and grateful Yeomen from every part of the county, and Agro.oitterists from the most remote content of the kingdom, are assem bled to receive from, and to c ttttt uounicate to one another the results of their experiments in far g. thereby to advance and perfect the most useful of all the arts. It is gratifying to the heart to see the warm, s.alour, amid active spirit of improvement which these Meetings inspire, anal the emulation which they pro:mole. The prejoulicrs of habit are sub dued by the detuoustretions presented to the judg ment, and men are taught to think on the menus of abridging labour and of bettering their system, in stead of going doggedly (no in the plodding practice of former times. It is only, however, by the *we test or experience that they are here to be taught. No t'dng is t 4ken up on the surmises of theory. Before a Yliggrslloll towards chainze is recommended, the au thor must have tried it. Even yet we know so little of the processor of nature, that we must nut confide iti the onaginetions or conjectures clietnists, as to the probable effects of this or of dirt manure, or-of Alois or that combiontion, but must subject it to the proof of an eceniate and repeated trial. This is the principle of the school of Mr. Coke, and it is by pursuing this simple mod ratio:id course, that he loots so greatly and so amide. hilly succeeded in his object of re.miciling his neighbourhood to ex ertions iu agriculture. The affection of the tenants of this distitoguished Patriot—the cordiality that soloists hetweeto dodo, owing to his conciliatory fratiktitss—the confidence which tfcy all hare in hit I unable views—avid the dogerooess onto which they seek for instruction from loon—are the rewards which lie dijoys, and the noblest rewards that he can enjoy. Sesetal hundred realms, and enlightened agricul turists this day examined the progress he has made since the last year, and the present condition of his Moms and stock. They set out after breskfa.t, m idal on horseback, and in open carriages, and made a round of several miles, itospectiog new sod improved implements of hushandry. viewing the sherpothearing at Longloindi Farm, where, by the bye, the South-down breed, after long tool accu rate observation, is pet ferred—and going; over the farms of Quarles, Egmetos, ru.rl Brentliill. In this !mar, the inu.t expert egricultiotist was gratified, by wet lug the stic..tso of the drill system, and of moonsho t ; with rape-oil cake; while the inexperi enced received • lesson which he cannot forget. The flourishing state of the crops in a 'brawn' of unexampled (bought where a field of fine barley is scarcely elsewhere to be seen. displayed the ef ficacy of the care which is here bestowed. They saw also a proof of successful inoculation of land, the art by which one grass field Wray be mended by having part of another grafted on it ; and they were de lighted with the view of the very superior builds ings, farm-yards, und comforts dins Innards. The idler this tour, Sat down to a sumptuous dinner, rrquiritig, by their numbers, all the principal rooms of this immense house. Mr. Coke was at die head of one table, the Earl of Albemarle at another. The Duke of Norfolk, Lord Erskine, Lord Lynerlock, the &I II of Surrey. Lord Wm. Bentinck, Lord Bury, and a number of other distinguished permit's were present. Among other excellent sentiments, the Collo.lllll tow, so congenial to the heart of this excellent landlord, " I ire and let lire," was drunk with enthusiasm; and in the evetoiog the company viewed the North Detroit incomparable breed of oxen and coos —the prize sheep and boars—to determine which prize, Judges were appointed; anal there was a sale of South-down (heaves, fur the improvement of the s:ock of his neighbours. Some &olds also exhi bited a number of North Devon steers for sale. Thus the first (Loy of this Agricultural Fete was passed. The menther was delightful, and a more animated or inure gratifying scene was never wit sitsattl. _ _ Extract or n letter from • gentleman at S'ortio way, to 1116 friend in Aberdeen, dated June 22, 1918: _ _ '• I hod a very fine sight here yesterday afternoon.

One man, however, by tearing a leaden pipe from the wall, succeeded in g g the top, and no seeing Mr. S. ran along it to some distance and then sprung to the ground, ■ height of several yards.— Mr. S. in followilig fell upon a stone channel, sod bruised himself in a (heedful 161: ttttt er, but contiourd the pursuit till he gave the alarm to ►osne persons near the toll-bar, towards able!) the fellow weld, when he was soon apprehended its an adjoinitig close by the bar-keeper, and re-conducted to his old trawlers. • We cannot refrain from giving the following occount of this motility, which as written by au officer who witnessed it. It is very characteristical of the Bengal sepoyr. " The mu tiny (ibis officer observes), excepting a general spirit of mur mur said discontent, was confined to the single instance of refusing the service. and whilst in that state preventing the march of two companies which were ordered to protect stores, &c. preparing for the expedition. The uses were guilty of no violence of any description, and treated their officers with the usual respect. The discipline of the corps was carried uu as usual ; and notwithstanding some of the native officers, and men mho had acted the most conspicuous part, were confined in the quarter•guards of their ►espective regiments, nu attempt was made to release them. After a lapse uf several weeks, a general court•sartial was held. and two suliadars, and one or two senors, were sentenced to death by being bitten away from the mouth ur comatose The sentence was carried into execution in the presence rif those troops which had mutinied, excepting one other regiment, whirls was at the station, without the smallest opposition, or even murmur ; and the troop' were marched round the spot of execution lst the mangled remains of their fellow. soldiers, wttbankt any other apparent feeling than the Ism ror which such a scene was calculated to excite, and pity fur their fate."

Surrap ; &c. &c. II One instance is lives in the work before us of the ac- Him of this violent spirit. In 1772, a sepoy of the now first battalion of the loth regiment, who hail suffered what he supposed au injury, fell out of the ranks when the corps was at exercise, and going tip to Captain Ewers, the corn maudiag officer, with recovered arms, as if to make some re quest, took a deliberate aim, and shot him; then patiently awaited the death he bad merited. We could give, from our own knowledge, several examples of similar feeling— two will suffice. Captaiu Crook, formerly of the Madras cavalry, struck a sentry for allowing a bullock that brought water to his tent, to step over the threshold and dirty it. The man took no moire of what had occurred till relieved from his post: he then went to his lines, and a short time afterwards sought his Captain, and, taking deliberate aim at him, shot him dead upon the spot. He made no attempt to escape. He had avenged hie honour (ruin the blows he hail received, ■od met with calmness and fortitude the death that wa■ awarded as the p ' 'anent of his crime.—An officer (still living) was provoked at some offence the man had committed, to strike • Madras native trooper under his command. On the night of the seine day, us lie was sit ting with another officer in his tent, the trooper came in, ■nd taking aim at him. fired; but owing to the ether officer striking litsartn, the hall raissrd. As, however, he fell in the confusion, and the light was extingui►hed, his coat paniuu, who considered him kite killed, ran to obtain •id, nod to seise the murderer, who had another pistol in his hand. The moment he was out of the tent, be heard the other pistol go offi and on returning with a guard of men sad same lights, he found that the trooper, conceiving that the first shut had taken effect, and that his honour was avenged by the death of the person who had insulted him bad, with the second pistol, shut himself through the head. %lure they deem their honour, of which tin hav e • very nice sense, to be slighted or insulted.

In 178 e, the Mathews was one of three Ben. gil corps who mutinied, wider an apprehension of being embarked for foreign service ; and though the conduct of these corps* was remarkable for the total absence of that spirit of general insubordina tion and disposition outrage by which mutinies of soldiery are usually marked, they were in the en suing year broken, and drafted into some other bat talions. " Thus fell the Mathews" (hays Captain William.) ; ".a corps snore highly spoken of dur ing the twenty-six years it existed, than any batta lion in the service; and at this day (he adds), if you meet any of the old fellows who once belonged to it, awl HA them what corps they came from, they will erect their heads and say, Mathews ka pultan,' or Mathews' battalion." The present second battalion of the 12th regi ment appears, from Captain Williaans's account, to have been raised some months before the Ma thews. He indeed culls it the first-raised baits boo. This corps war at the battle of Plessey. It was named by the sepoys the Lal Pesltan, or the Red t Battalion, and afterwards Gunn:, front the name of one of its first captains. It wad associated with the Mathems in all its early service, particu larly at Masulipatam, Gheretty, &c. ; but in 1764 it mutinied, 4111 the pretext of some promises which were made to it having been broken. Having no apparent ohject, it was easily reduced to obedi ence; hut Major Munro (afterwards Sir Hector Munro), who then commanded the army, thought severe example necessary, and twenty-eight of the most guilty were tried by a drum-head court martial and sentenced to death. Eight of these wete directed to be immediately Mown away from the guns of the force then at Choprah. As they were nu the point of executing the sentence, three grenadiers, who happened to lee amongst them, slept forth and claimed the privilege of being blown away from the right hand guns. " They lia , l always fought 011 the right (they said), and they hoped they would be permitted to die at that post of honour." Their request was granted, and they were the first executed. " I ant sure (says Captain Williams, who diet, belonged to the Royal Marines employed in Bengal, sod who was an eye witness of this remarkable scene) that there was not a dry eye among the Marines, although they It ail been long accustomed to hard service, mid two of them bad actually been in the execution party which shot Admiral Byng in the year 1757." In the native infantry of Bengal the Htiadoos are in the full proportion of three-fourths to the Ma limuedans. They consist chiefly of Rejponts, who are a distinguished race among the Klsiteree or military tribe. We may judge of the size of these men when we are told that the standard be low which nu recruit is taken is live feet six inches. The great proportion of the grenadiers arc six feet and upwards. 'the Rajpoot is bons a soldier. The mother speaks of nothing to her infant but deeds of arms, and every sentiment and action of the future man is marked by the first impressions that lie has received. If he tills the ground (which is the common occupation of this class), his sword and shield are placed near the furrow, and moved as his labour advances. The frame tithe Rajpoot is almost always improved (even if his pursuits are those of civil life) by martial exercises. He is from habit temperate in his diet, of • generous, though warns temper, and of good moral conduct. He is, when well treated, obedient, zealous, tend faithful. Neither the Hitidoo nor the Mahotnedan soldier of India can be termed revengeful, though both ore prone to extreme tinletice in points IPSWICH RACES. TUESDAY, JULY 7. Ilia Majesty's Parse of O.
