TORY LOYALTY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUS.
Sitt---In your severe, but just animadversions on
the speeches of Messrs. Bradshaw and Roby, in
The ,',112 of the 4th inst„ you very properly cen-
sured the ungallant conduct of those military gentle-
men who could sit, hear, and applaud those who
abused our youthful and beloved Sovereign.
Amongst the names of others who attended the
meutinc, of the Tories at Ashton-under-Lyne, the
name ofr Captain Clarke appears.
Now, Sir, allow me to ask some of your readers
at Ashton, through the medium of your pain',
what kind of personage is the Captain Clarke
question ?
I ask this question, because, at the two
last contested elections for Devizes, a Cap-
tain Clarke, who was looked upon as an agent
of the Carlton Club, assisted the Tories, he also
acted with " Croucher," for Sir F. Burdett, at the
general election. If the same, he is a person under
the ordinary size, and usually wears a party necker-
chief, a sure and certain sign of a Tory of the ultra
school. Should the Capt. Clarke who mixed with
the Tories of Ashton, and who sat and heard Roby
without reproof, prove to be an agent of the " Carlton
Club," and the same who was at De-
vizes, I think we have strong grounds for
suspecting the intentions of the " Carlton Club."
These suspicions are considerably increased
when we reflect for a moment on the insolent and
revolutionary tone of many of the Tory papers for
some time past. Let every patriotic Briton ob-
serve the movements of the Tories with a watchful
eye—let our beloved Queen place her confidence in
the whole, and not a faction, of the people ; and
then, in time of trouble, she will find that people,
under God, will safely defend her. And let the
Government deal with equal-handed justice between
the Chartists and ultra-Tories, and then they will
both gain and retain the confidence of the country.
I am, your's humbly,
AN OBSERVER.
Devizes, Nov. 6, 1839.

MUNICIPA L ELECTIONS.
(SCOTLAND.)

The annual election of Town Councillors took place
last Tuesday. The results are as follow :---
EDINBURGH.—Though four of the five wards here
were contested, the interest which the proceedings ex.
cited was comparatively limited—the cause, we presume,
being that in only one ward was the contest between
persons of different politics. The others were between
Liberals ; and turned solely on feelings of personal pre-
ference, so that the great body of the electors did not
think it necessary to vote. In the Fourth Ward, in-
deed, there was hardly any voting at all till nearly two
o'clock, when some faint exeitement began to be exhi-
bited. The greatest interest was in the Third Ward,
where the Tories concentrated all, their strength to carry
Messrs. Whyte and Johnstone in opposition to Messrs.
Melville and Caldwell. We regret to say that their
efforts were bat too successful, though fortunately the
numerical loss has been made up in another Ward. Dr.
Macaulay, a Liberal, has been succeeded by Mr. John-
stone, a Tory ; but the electors of the Fourth Ward
having returned Sir Thomas Dick Lauder in place of
Mr. Maclaglan, there is, on the whole, no change in the
relative strength of parties.
GLASGOW.—Here the greatest struggle was in the
second ward, where the Tories concentrated their
strength on Mr. Bain, and put forth tremendous exer-
tions ; but they have been defeated, and now both the
Eastern wards of the city are saved from Tory misre-
presentation.
The Retiring Councillors were:—
Reformers—Gray, 1341 nkier, Johnston, Hamilton, and
Douglas,
Tories... —Gilmour, Bain, Turnbull, Paul, Wilson,

Burns, and Robertson,

In all,
The Election yesterday has returned—
Reformers—Messrs. Dunlop, Fleming, Johnstone.
Bankier, Ure, Hamilton, and Brodie, 7

Mitchell, ( More a Whig than a Tory) 1
Tones ... —R. Fleming, Wilson, Robertson, and Burns 4

The result of Municipal Elections has been gratifying
to Reformers. The Liberal party have gained two votes,
which, but for the ex-officio seats which these two re-
presenta'ives of the old close system, the Dean of Guild
and the Deacon Convener, hold at the Council Board,
would give them once again a control over civic affairs.
As it is they muster as strong as their opponents, and
thus 'l'ory measures must be carried by the casting vote
of a Lord Provost, whose legal title to the civic chair
is at least doubtful.—Glasgow Chronicle.
the candidates were professed. Re-
formers. In the Ist ward, Mr. John Campbell, a Char-
tist, was opposed by Mr. Valiance, a voluntary, who has
hitherto voted with the Torie . Mr. Valiance had a
majority of two votes. Every exertion was made by
the supporters of both candidates, but, as Mr. Camp-
bell, in his address, had declared himself a no party
man, there was a good number of Reformers who
declined voting for either of the candidates.

In the 3d ward Mr. Walter Blair, a Radical, started
against the retiring councillor, Mr. Taylor, a thorough
and consistent Reformer. Mr. Blair was supported
principally by the Tories, and Mr. Taylor by the Re-
formers. At the first Mr. Blair was also highest on the
poll, but at the close he was ten votes in the minority.
In the 4th ward a few of the rabid Tories set up Mr.
Stirrat, and Mr. Paton, merchant, Cross., against the
retiring members of Council. Mr. Todd and Mr.
M'Arthur, about 3 o'clock afternoon, expecting to
carry their men by surprise, but the attempt was a
failure, though the plot was supposed to be well laid.
In the third and fourth wards Baillies Taylor and
Holmes were returned without opposition.
GREENOCK.-The elections for this burgh were
unusually keen in three of the wards. The result leaves
both parties on a par in the Council ; the Liberals
having lot the majority of one on the present occasion.
The Conservatives returned will be good councillors
however.
