THE SUN, LONDON., FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1837

tended to retire;,called out the lion. James Bruce. Capt.
Wemyss has YiFhleii to the .oish'es Of the Constit ucncy, and
Mr. Bruce will best coniiilt his safety tenil el'edit by re-
treating as speedily as possible.
CUPAR BURGHS.—Mr. Ellice stands for these burghs,
'inwever unwilling Mr. Maitland Makgilj may be to believe
t ; and we have no doubt, when the day of Trial comes,
that the constituency will prove themselves shrewd enough
to distinguish a real and thoroughgoing Reformer from a
sham one.

STIRLINGLINGSHIRE.—This is one of the COUtilleS 0
which the Tories promised themselves undisturbed pos•
session, but their pleasant dream has been rudely inter•
rupted. Colonel Abercromby's canvass proceeds most
favourably.

LANARKSIITAE.—The lion. Charles Murray, of the
Dunmore fumily, a young man of Liberal principles and
fine talents, comes forward with the full support of his uncle
t!:e Duke of Hamilton and the whole Liberal party. Mr.
Hope Vere has withdrawn his claims, and most handsomely
recommended the electors to unite in supporting Mr. Mur-
ray. No doubt is entertained of his success, though the
Tories have been canvassing most assiduously for Mr. Mac-
donald Lockhart.

ARGYLESIIIRE.—The merits of the present excellent
Member, Mr. Campbell, of Islay, arc too well understood
to permit a doubt of his being returned by a majority of
two to one.

PEEELESHIRE.—The Hon. Baronet, who has so long
misrepresented this county in Parliament—now that Mr.
Gibson Carmichael, younger of Castlecraig, has presented
himself as a candidate for the representation of this consti.
tuency in Parliament, he the Honourable Baronet, has
wisely intimated his intention of withdrawing from the
field, rightly deeming it better to withdraw from the con-
test than to expose himself to the mortification of a de-
feat. Notwithstanding, the county is now the scene of a
keen and spirited contest, Mr. Forbes Mackenzie, of Port-
more, a new Tory aspirant, has had hardihood enough to
take the field against Mr. Gibson Carmichael.—Kelso
Chronicle.

HADDINGTON BURGHS.—Sir Thomas Hepburn will put
Mr. Steuart to a good deal of trouble and no small expense,
but will not carry these burghs, the present Member hav-
ing a largetmajority of the Iladdington voters, and North
Berwick, it is understood, to a man. On the other band,
the young Conservative has,' it is said, a majority of pro-
mises in Dunbar, Lauder, and Jedburgh.
Ant BURGHS.—We regret to see a second candidate
appearing on the Reform interest for these burghs, which
have been ably and faithfully represented by Lord James
Steuart. "If Mr. Johnstone is a sincere Reformer, we
hope be will withdraw ; and if he does not, we trust the
Liberal constituency have sufficient sense to avoid a divi-
sion which might be fatal to their cause."
AYRSHIRE.—Lord Kelburne has started for this county,
in opposition to Mr. Dunlop, the present Member. The
Liberal party are remarkably strong in Ayrshire, and there
is no risk in saying that his Lordship has not the remotest
chance of success.
Lord Kelburne commenced his canvass for the county
to-day under very encouraging circumstances. We under-
stand arrangements are in progress for bringing forward a
Conservative candidate for the representation of this dis-
trict of burghs.—Ayr Observer.
ROXIIURGHSHIRE.—AdmiraI Elliot being called away by
his professional duties, the .Liberal electors have offered
their support to the Hon. J. E. Elliot, his younger bro-
ther, who has agreed to stand. No doubt is entertained
that this county will be rescued from Tory domination.
BANFFSHIRE.—The report that the Hon. Mr. Duff is
to dispute this county with the present Tory Member, is,
we believe, unfounded ; but it is to be hoped that a Liberal
candidate will yet be found.
