RENFRE W SHIRE ELECTION.
(FROM A CORRESPONNDET.)
Thursday being the day appointed for the election of a
Member of Parliament for the county, accordingly, at 12
o'clock noon, Colonel William Mure, of Caldwell, ap-
peared on the hustings at Renfrew, surrounded by
several of his friends.
After the Sheriff had read the writ of election and the
Sheriff--Clerk the oaths against bribery,
Sir HEW C. POLLOK Bart., stepped forward and in a
short and appropriate manner proposed Colonel Mute
as a tit nod proper ,person to represent the county i❑
Parliament.
HENRY MACDOWALL, Esq., of Currutb, seconded the
nomination.

No other candidate having been proposed,
Colonel MURE then came forward and addressed the
electors. He enunciated no new idea or principle in
the course of his speech; but he claimed for himself the
right of being " an independent member," and, further,
that he would not consent to the re-imposition of a
corn-law. He would support Lord Derby when he
brought forward any measure which he (Col. Mare)
thought conducive to the good of the country, b
otherwise, then he would vote against him.
Colonel Mare is the former member, and was, as we
understand, a supporter of the late Sir Robert Peeul.t if

which
election proceedings is, the decided stand which the non-
electors have taken, more especially in reference to the
town of Paisley, and should of itself form a strong argu-
ment in favour of the ballot. It is this: three or four
non-electors in almost every ward (there being five of
them) canvassed the electors in their respective districts,

instances where it has been put in practice, and it is
stated will be persevered in to the prejudice of the
elector. Every one knows that the rich and powerful
at every election contest practise intimidation, and are
accustomed to adopt the same tactics, and even at this
election instanc:.s of that sort have been stated to us to
heve occurred. We deprecate all such, be

ROYAL ORTROPADIC HOSPITAL.—Yesterday even-
ing a meeting of the friends and subscribers to the Royal
Orthopaedic Hospital took place at the board-room of the in-
stitution in Bloomsbury-square, for transacting the general
business of the charity. It appears that the number of pa-
tients now under treatment amount to about 700, in athlition
to which there are over 300 cases waiting for admission into
the wards, the afflictions complained of being too severe for
out-door treatment. The total numb-r of patient cured of
club foot and other den-males since the opening of the hos-
pital in 1838 exceeds 13,000, and so numerous have the
applications lately become, that a very urgent demand is
made for an ,increase in the number of beds. Having so
large a number of patients on the books for indoor treat-
ment (whose cases
grow more difficult, if not dangerous, by
delay) the committeei have issued art appeal for the requisite
funds, and it s hoped that they will speedily be able to carry
out their benevolent intentions. Sr.me routine business con-
nected with the charityhaving transpired, the meeting sePa-
rtitred,
