Yesterday the borough of Lewes was in full bus-
tle of election, arising from the Ron. THOSIAS
ERSKINI having offered himself • candidate, and
being put in nomination with Sir ,TORN SHELLEY
and Captain SUMNER. The secession of Mr.
Scsituvr was considered by their friends as a
glorious victory, and prepsrstions were made for a
general entertainment to the electors, but the un-
expected appearance of • competitor wholly de-
ranged the plan of walking over the course. Such
is the nice parity of votes, that the party who can
obtain six neutrals will gain the election. The
bombers last night were—
Fur Sir John Shelley
Captain SW ffuer
The Hon. Mr. Erskine
The lion. Mr. ERSKINE had 89 I.lumpers.

The nightingale, winch is supposed never to visit
either Scotland or Ireland, has, it is believed, made
its appearance about Paisley. Whether it is really
the sughtingule, or come other bird that sings dur-
ing the 'sight, is uncertain, but many of the
silts of Paisley have been gratified with a lnn:lit
8...ug, believing it to he that of the nightingale. For
wine nights back the crowds of people to hear it
have defeated their own purpose, by their noise;
bet, when left to itself, the bird continues its smug.
The appearance of such a bird is out more uncom-
mon in ihis climate, than the extremely tine wea-
ther which has been experienced fur nearly the last
Mir weeks.—(Greenock Paper.)
