LONDON.
SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST 19, 1837.

Our readers will find, among the extracts from the
Morning Journals, an article from the Times, which
proves how sore the party whom it encumbers with its
patronage, feels at the issue of the elections in Scot-
land. The writer of the article in question shows as
little skill at his trade as he does acquaintance with the
subject he professes to discuss. He begins by remind-
ing his readers, that he had " calculated on deriving
from that country a positive gain to the Conservative
cause of about fire or six seats." Now to say nothing of
the insolence of this prediction, as regards the people of
Scotland, what a fool the scribbler must be to rake it
up out of the kindred rubbish in which it, lay en-
tombed. The man actually seems to think that the
readers of the Times regard, beyond the passing hour,
the incoherent rhapsodies with which that journal is
every day stuffed ! The prophet of the Times is now
obliged to confess that his " anticipations" " have not
been fully realized." What a delicate and ingenuous
mode of expression 7. What he had to say, had he
wished to speak the truth, was, that his prophecy had
not only not been realized, but that it had been re-
versed. The Scotch elections exhibit at present a
gain of two seats from the Tories, and there are four
others, namely, Lanarkshire, Stirlingshire, Peebles,
and Caithness, which may be reckoned upon as ulti-
mate conquests to the Liberal cause. Where an elec-
tion is won by a single vote, and there is proof of the
fraudulent manufacture of votes—as there is in abun-
dance in the cases we have mentioned—there cannot
be any rational doubt entertained of the decision of an
Election Committee ; unless, indeed, it consist of such
Members as Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR and his pupil
the old Westminster renegade.

But the way in which the writer in the Times sets
about accounting for the falsification of his prediction
must be a source of amusement to his Scotch readers
at least, if he have any such. First, he was not aware
" that Mr. BALFOUR'S purse was insufficient to con-
test Orkney." Aye, there it is—there we see the
truth squeezed out of this Tory partizan in spite of
himself—here we see it admitted that the " purse"
is everything with the Tories. Without the
purse they have no chance—whenever that fails them
they give up all. for lost. Next, Mr. BALFOUR is
abused for not having introduced a Tory candidate who
had a purse, as he had none himself. We can
assure this angry gentleman, that Mr. DUWDAS
depending solely on the good will and good principles
of the electors would have beaten any candidate out of
the field, however long his purse might have been.
Mr. ANDREW JOHNSTON next comes in for his share
of abuse, because being a Reformer himself, he was
more favourable to the Reforming than to the Tory
candidate. The Roxburgshire election was lost—of
course it was—because all the interest of the Admi-
ralty (!) was used against the nominee of the Duke
of i3LICLEUGH. Nothing, however, is said of the
mandates issued by the said Duke, enjoining his
tenantry, on pain of his displeasure, and its conse-
quences, which are pretty well appreciated in that
quarter, to vote for the Tory. Then again there was
a riot, and the LORD-ADVOCATE would not allow the
military to fire upon the people, although it is well
known that the row was got up by the losing party when
they saw the game was up, merely to furnish a pretext for
clamour afterwards. Banffshire and Argyleshire were
not 'won, because the Earl of FIFIL and the Duke of
ARGYLE intimidated their tenants, when it is well
known that these Noblemen left their tenants to vote
as they pleased, and they voted for the Reform Can-
didates in these counties.

On the whole, we think the way in which the Tories
account for their losses is fully as unsatisfactcry to
the public as these losses are to themselves.

A remarkable instance of the folly of Ministers in
allowing their enemies to retain the Lord Lieutenan-
cies of so many counties, was alluded to by Mr. SHELL
the other day at the nomination of candidates for Tip-
perary. Speaking of the efforts made by Lord Do
NOUGHMORE to return the rank Orangeman, BAR-
KER, for the county, in opposition to OTWAY CAVE,
the Learned Gentleman observed, " a charge more
serious than that of mere inconsistency attaches to the
Noble Lord. He was appointed Lord Lieutenant of
this county, when Earl GREY was at the head of the
Government. The prezent Cabinet was in some sort
formed by Earl GREY, for it waz he who recommended
Viscount MELBOURNE to the KING. Earl GREY
on almost every important occasion has voted with the
Government. J His eldest son, the heir to his title
and estates, is one of the most prominent Members of
the Cabinet; and yet my Lord DONOUGHMORE,
while he retains the office of Lord-Lieutenant, for
which he is indebted to the Whigs, leaves no ex- ,
