EDINBURGH.

After the close of the poll on Friday, the candidates
addressed their respective committees. The meeting of
Mass. Macaulay and Craig's committee was rendered
rather remarkable hy the intrusion of a supporter of Mr.
Cowan, whose personal pique spinet Mr. Macaulay not
having found sufficient vent by his vote against him thrust
himself into the meeting of that gentleman's personal
friends, to have the pismire of hissing at him—Mr. Gibson
Craig declared that his return, separated from Mr. Macaulay,
WWI no triumph to him. They had eat together to
parliament for six years, and never differed is opinion
except on one question. Of his late colleague, Mr.
Craig said, " there never was in parliament a man who was
more strenuous or untiring in his exertions for the country
at large, or one who devoted himself with such seal and
ability in behalf of the constituency which he represented."
Mr. Macaulay said that he " stood before them defated but
not degraded ;" that their " political connection had termi-
nated for ever."—Mr. Cowan did not, like the other ausdi-
dates, confine his oratory to his own committee, but addressed
the crowd In front of his committee-room. He told them
that " a great triumph had that day been achieved for
Edinburgh and for the interests of old Scotland."
Upon this declaration of a professing liberal candidate,
or member, an instructive comment was read by the epochs+
in the committee of the tory candidate. Mr. Nearns,
giving vent to the concentrated venom which the brilliant
talents of Mr. Macaulay have awakened in the breasts of the
underlings of the old tory party, congratulated his colleagues
that " one of the ablest ministers of the "
oppositeparty " had
been unseated, and described Mr. Macaulay as never com-
ing among them (the tory underlings) but with his septen-
nial smile of supercilious scorn," All the speakers in this
committee were agreed that their success on this occasion
ought to encourage their party to renew the struggle for at
least a share in the representation of Edinburgh.

OXFORD UNLVERSITY..

While Mr. Gladstone's majority over Mr. Round readily
Increased from the commencement of the polling on Saturday
morning until five o'clock in the afternoon, when it was
closed for the day, the excitement which marked the pro-
ceedings of the first two days gradually abated, until every
one seemed to be et opinion that the election was virtually
over, notwithstanding that. Mr. Round's committee had
issued as many, it is said, as 400 solicitations to unpoll
, ed
voters to come forward to-day and to-me:row and exercise
the franchise in his favour. Even should this call be libe-
rally responded to, it is not considered to be within the
range of probability that Mr. Gladstose's present majority
of 193 will he mach affected, while his friends assert, with
confidence, that it will increase so king as the poll is kept
open. Early on Saturday the right hon. gentleman's com-
mittee published a notice requesting " res dents" not to vote
at present; and, at four o'clock, announced the receipt from
Mr. Round's committee of an intimation that "at a full
meeting held that morning they had resolved so far as the
event depended on them to keep open the pill during the
earlier part of next week." The pchluig will be resumed at
10 o'clock this morning.
