SCOTLAND.

EDINBURGH.--Neither change nor opposition is expected.
EDINBUROIISIIIRE.—Mr. Gibson Craig opposes Sir George
Clerk, and will beat him.
GREENOCK.—So far as we have heard, there is not likely to
be any contest in Greenock—the business habits and industry
of Mr. Wallace having secured to that gentleman the appro-
bation of many who disapprove of his general politics in various
respects. In the county, as yet, no candidate has come for-
ward to oppose the sitting Member, whose friends have for
some days past been carrying on an active canvass. We know
of no man so likely to regain Renfrewshire to the Whigs as
Captain Houston Stewart, the brother of the late Member;
but it is doubted by many whether be would be inclined to in-
cur the expense attendant upon a contest. How far this is cor-
rect we are not able to give an opinion ; but we feel persuaded
that by no other Reform candidate could the attempt be made
at less cost, or with better prospect of success.—Greenock
Advertiser.
GLASGOW.—No public or direct announcement has been
made by either party—the registrations chiefly occupying the
time of both.
PAISLEY is in the same situation, and at present there is no
likelihood of Mr. Hastie being opposed.
GREENOCK, also, we understand, will not be disturbed by a
con test.

KILMARNOCK BURGHS.—Dr. Bowring, it is now said. is to
be opposed by Captain Montgomery Hamilton, Saint Colqu-
houn having found Kilmarnock, like Perth, unwilling to have
anything to do with him. The Captain had better imitate the
Saint's example, and retire in time.
AYR BURGIIIL—Mr. Johnston redeems his pledge to stand
for these Burghs, and will be returned.
LANARKSIIIRR.--Mr. Lockhart is canvassing this county on
the Tory interest ; but so hopelessly that he is already half-in-
clined to retire. The Courier's " negation" receives little
positive encouragement.

RENFREWSIIIRE.—We fancy that the Liberals here are so
heartily ashamed of their past misdeeds that they will not
enter the field ; they have indeed abundant cause of being
ashamed of themsel►es.
DUMBARTONSIIIRE.—Mr. Dennistoun's delicate health will
compel him to retire ; but it is understood that Sir James Col-
quhoun, the Lord Lieutenant, the most extensive proprietor
in the county, and a firm Liberal, will stand in his place. The
Tory, Mr. Smollett, supported by his father and friend, Sir A.
Campbell, who devide betwixt them nearly the whole govern-
ment taxes of the county, in the shape of pension or pay,
without service will, we have heard, oppose Sir James. He
may save himself the trouble and expense.
STIRLINGSIIIRE.—Another Tory " negation" of the Courier,
Mr. Forbes, is to be opposed by Colonel Abercromby, the son
of Lord Abercromby, and nephew of the Speaker, an able and
active Liberal who, according to present appearances, will beat
the " negation."
Avastriart.—Mr. Dunlop encounters the opposition of Sir
Charles Lamb, the husband of Lord Eglinton's mother, who
drove his tenantry to the poll at last election, and watched
them, and who, in Lanarkshire, adopted the most persecuting
measures against any of his dependants who voted against M.
Lockhart. He will be as soundly drubbed as his Tory pre-
cursor, Sir John Cathcart.

ARGTLESIURR.—CampbeII of Islay will again be opposed by
Campbell of Monsie, and with the same result.
PERTHSHIRE—Lord Stormont's opposition to the Honour-
able Fox Malik, lags already—the rejected of Norwich " stinks
in the nostrils" of the majority of the constituency as Reform
stunk in his own.

LEITK.—The Lord Advocate will again represent this town.
Mr. T. A. Mitchell announces his intention to stand when-
ever a vacancy occurs, as also the Honourable James Erskine
Murray.

BERWICKSHIRE. —The present Tory Member, Sir Hugh
Campbell, is likely to retain his scat.
PEEBLES-SHIRE. —Sir J. Hay retires from this county. Mr.
Gibson Carmichael stands on the Liberal, and Mr. Forbes
Mackenzie on the Tory interest.
FALKIRK BURGHS. —We hear of no opponent to Mr. Gillon.
PERTH BURGHS.—The Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, on the Libe-
ral interest, is opposed by Sir P. Murray Thriepland.
STIRLING BURGHS. —The Tories here give out that a Can-
didate on their interest is forthcoming against Lord Dalmeny.
ORKNEY, &c.—Mr. Balfour, the present Tory Member, will
be opposed by Mr. F. Dundas, on the Liberal interest, who
has already gone north.
IN V ERNES!. SIIIRZ. —We have great pleasure in stating that
a gentleman intimately connected with the interests of this
county is to start as a candidate for the suffrages of the Liberal
constituency.
INVERNESS BUROUS. —Major Cumming Bruce retires, and
Mr. Roderick M'Leod, the present representative for Suther-
land, stands on the Liberal interest. He is to be opposed by
Me. J. R. Mackenzie.
SunittaLatinstnan.—The Hon. Mr. Howard will be re-
turned on the Reform interest, without opposition.
CAITHNESS. —Sir George Sinclair will be opposed on the
Liberal interest by Mr. Trail, it is saiti successfully.
EAST LOTHIAN.—Mr. Ferguson of Raith is to be opposed
by Lord Ramsay, the late Tory candidate for Elinburgh.
HADDINOTON BURGHS. —Mr. R. Stewart is to'bt) opposed
by Sir T. B. Hepburn, but will be returned. The Tory op-
position here is got up, as in many other places, for t'he sole
purpose of arousing the Liberal electors, and creating expepse
to the Liberal candidates.

ROXBUROHSHIRE.—Tho Hon. Francis Scott has, it will be
observed, issue an address to the electors of the county of

It is tuii ut the ,erk•st humbug. \\ Crt juiCC
/lint the contest in this county will again determine whellit.r
Toryism or Reform is in the ascendant. We feel assured th zt
the faction will find themselves here, at least, utterly diseotn-
fittl;_Kciso Chronicle.

Elliot is almost certain of being
returned.

BERWICK ON-TWEED.—Mr. Hodgson':: principles are Tory,
and he will coilesce with Mr. Billy Holmes; we hope the Re-
formers will throw them both overboard.

Ihkvvicxstuae.—We regret that no opponent of the present
represcritatitc of this county has as yet declared himself. A
mete unmeaning representative could scarcely exist.—Kelso
