Tan Rarortx Btu..—The following letter hag
been transmitted by Mr. E. Craufurd, M.P., to the chair-
man of the reform meeting held a few days ago in the
Assembly Rooms, Ayr :—" House of Commons Library
March 5, 1866 :—My dear Sir,—l was duly favoured
with your letter of the Ist instant, enclosing re-
solutions on the subject of reform, unani-
mously adopted at a numerously attended pnbli
meeting of electors and non-electors of the perils.
mentary burgh of Ayr, end transmitted to me by yourself,
as the chairman of that meeting, and at their request, for
presentation to Earl Russell. I lost no time in applying
for en interview with his lordship, and, in con-
sequence, had the honour of wait ng upon him this
morning at hie resident's in Cheeham-place. I was
most oondeously received, and on heading him the reso-
lutions, and calling attention to their very temperate
and reasonable tenor, hie lordship was pleased to express
his sympathy with the very natural desire for an increased
representation for Scotland. I regret to say, however,
that I gathered from the very few observations that fell
from Earl Russell that therm little chance of the govern-
ment measure of reform containing any scheme for the re-
distribution of Beata.— I am, my dear air, yours faithfully,
E. H. J. CRAIITORD. T. B. Gemmell, Esq., tirrankville,
Ayr."
Dr. Bowerbank, who it seems is at Paris and
not at Kingston, writes to the Times to say that the late
Mr. Gordon seoeded from the established church, and be-
came en active dissenter. Subsequently he used his beet
efforts to induce some clergymen of the church of England
to administer the Sacrament to him. " Bat," Dr. Bowerbank
adds "fortunately the bishop of the diocese and the clergy,
being wars of his object, refused to lend themselves to his
designs, or thus to desecrate this most holy rite." As re-
gards the part enacted by Gordon, the custom et Kingston
(who effected his arrest) thinks " as he is no more, the less
said about it the better.'
31TH MIDDLESEX Itirmts.—The members of this
corps gave their first amateur dramatic performance at the
Cabinet Theatre last evening. The pieces played were
Diamond Cast Diamond, Charles the Twelfth, and
the burlesque of Pra Diaoolo. The characters were well
sustained by the members of the corps. The burlesque
was produced in a manner that would not have disgraced
one d oar larger theatres.
