SCOTLADTD.
EDINBURGH, MAT 29.
All doubt as to Mr. Oswald's retirement is now at
an end, as his withdrawal appears in the Glasgow
papers of to-day. It is still rumoured that General
Arbuthnott is hankering after private life, and that
if Kincardineshire be contested he will not again
stand. Captain Fordyce, of Brucklay, is the liberal
candidate spoken of. Mr. G. S. Duff has commenced
his canvass in Elgin. The Scotsman contradicts the
report of the retirement of the solicitor-general from
Karkudbrightshire.
Lind John Hay has declined to stand for Greenock :
his supporters are wroth at his refusal, and are
sprftding a report that unfair means have been used.
There seems little chance now that a liberal will
oppose Mr. Dunlop, certainly no one will do so under
ministerial auspices. Conservative is the only oppo-
sition that, therefore, can be contemplated, and it has
never been known to be great in a Scotch burgh. The
Hon. F. Scott has formally retired from Roxburgh,
assigning no reason for his withdrawal.
Salient points in the proceedings of the two assem-
blies are still difficult to be laid hold of. Ia the esta-
blished judicatory, Principal Lee, who is no mean
antiquary, Sir Walter Scott being judge, moved for
the appointment of a committee to report on the
editorship of the paraphrases, the very reverend gen-
tlemai plainly intimating that all the glory belongs
to Logan. This may be, but the church that rejected
Home should not in consistency shield the
author of Runnymede, who, besides being a
dramatist, was something worse. Perhaps the
circumstance of Logan being black-balled by the
opposition, may lea to his canonization in the old as-
sembly—but the question is literary, not theological,
and will be settled " out of doors." The government
presentee to Tarbert bus been unanimously rejected
by the estimably. In the Free Church, the
central fund has yielded to each minister
two pounds less of annual maintenance than
it did at last division. But this arises from no
falling off of the gross sum received, which, on the
contrary, has, it seems, increased, but from the addi-
tion of many more clergymen to the fund-roll. Next
year an effort is to be made to increase the amount to
1301. each, which will be 301. more than is now
' awarded. _ _ _

Fever prevail. so alarmingly in Glasgow that a
requisition has been addressed to the Lord Provost
for a public meeting, which is to be held on the Ist of
June.
It being now practically settled that a living in
the church of Scotland cannot be held in conjunction
with a theological chair, the church is to memo-
rialise government or parliament for increased en-
dowments to the theological faculties. The chairs
are nineteen in number, and the average endowments,
exclusive of fees, 3001. But, as in the case of the
parish schools, when the question of university al-
teration is entertained, there are many questions to
be discussed besides mere increase of endowments to
a particular faculty ; and it were well if this applica-
tion should precipitate the question of scholastic re-
form.
Fever has been busy, both in Edinburgh and Glas-
gow, with an important class of victims—those im-
mediately in attendance on the sick. In the latter
place the chaplain of the infirmary and several assist-
ant poor-law inspectors were cut off, alter brief periods
of attack. Here, two of the infirmary medical clerks
have died, and a third is still in danger. The fever is
generally of a mild tyy, and has scarcely extended be-
yond the classes p to seizure, and the fatality
among the clerks arises from their continued expo-
sure to infection and increased susceptibility of attack
from youthfulness. The authorities are adopting mea-
sures to arrest the progress of the epidemic ; but,
amidst the multiplicity of boards which profess to
attend to public matters, the old adage threatens
to be exemplified—that what is everybody's business
is nobody's business.
