COUNTY OF FORFAR ELECTION.

The election for the representation of the county of
Forfar (vacant by the death of Col. Lauderdale Maule,
Surveyor-General of the Ordnance, who lately died of
cholera in the East), took place on Weduesday, at
Forfar.
The election day was the anniversary of the first Lord
Duncan's victory at Camperdown.
Viscount Duncan, who was the only candidate, was
nominated by Lord J. F. Gordon Halyburton, who for-
merly represented the county, and seconded by Mr.
Collier, farmer.
Lord DUNCAN, having been duly elected, returned
thanks, and said he would adhere to the political princi-
ples which had heretofore guided his Parliamentary con-
duct. He proceeded to say—With respect to my conduct
in Parliament, I shall give my personal support to her
Majesty's Government as at present constituted. (Ap-
plause.) When we consider the war in which we are
engaged—a war in which the credit of the nation is at
stake—a war which is being carried on in an unmis-
takeable manner, as within these few days news has been
received of an important victory having been achieved, and
I trust that it is not the last, I hope our rulers will not
pause till the Russian Emperor is rendered unable again
to disturb the peace of Europe. (Cheers.) We are a
peaceful nation, and are fond of peaceful pursuits ; but
when we are dared into the field, then it is with feelings
of pride that we see that the blood of our soldiers
is the same heroic blood that flowed in the veins of
our forefathers, that the troops of a despotic Power have
no chance with those of a free and enlightened king-
dom like ours. (Cheering.) The Russian Emperor's
territories and population may be larger than ours ; but
we.know this well, that one Englishman is equal to
three or four Russians. (Renewed cheers.) I hold that
credit is due to her Majesty's Administration for en-
deavouring, as long as possible, to preserve us from
war, and afterwards for waging it with vigour ; and,
under these circumstances, they shall have my general
support ' • but I will not pledge myself to any man, or
agree to be a blind supporter of any set of men whatever.
I must reserve to myself the power when I see anything
wrong to point it out; and I think it is the duty of
a friend to tell them when he sees them going
wrong. If I did not act an independent part, I
would not adequately represent the independent and
enlightened constituency before me. If I were to
say that on all questions my opinions and those of the
constituency I represent will be the same, I would be
guilty of exaggeration ; but this I will say, that, when
our opinions differ, I will reconsider my own judgment,
and if possible correct it. Gentlemen, to one and all
standing before me I give my hearty and cordial thanks
for the position in which they have placed me. The
sentiment of gratitude with which their conduct has
filled me I am unable to express in words - but it is one
which I shall continue to feel to the last day of my life.
I shall take my leave on this occasion, with a prayer to
Divine Providence that my future conduct may be such
that you may never see cause to regret the choice you
have this day made. If there is one thing which could
have added greatly to the other favours bestowed on me,
it is that of having selected this memorable day—the
anniversary of my grandfather's victory—to place me in
this proud position. (Great cheering.)
A vote of thanks was then awarded to the sheriff,
after which cheers were given for the Queen, and for the
' army and navy.

BRITISH PENITENT FEMALE REFUGE. Yesterday
afternoon the annual general meeting of the subscribers
to this institution was held in the board room of the
asylum, Cambridge-heath ; the Rev. Josiah Viney pre-
sided. The secretary read the report, frown which it ap-
peared that since the establishment of the Refuge in
1829, 1,217 females have enjoyed the advantages af-
forded by it. Of these it. is calculated that two-thirds
have been personally benefited. The number of females
admitted during the past year, from all parts of the coun-
try, is 41, which, together with 54 on the foundation at
the last anniversary, make 95 who have participated in
its benefits during the year. All were poor and destitute,
the majority young creatures under 20 years of age, and
most- of them had lost one or both parents. During the
year 41 females have quitted the asylum, leaving 54 at
present in the care of the charity. Of those who have
been sent out, 21 have been reconciled and restored
to their relatives, 17 have been placed in situations, 2
have left at their own request, and 1 has been dismissed.
From the balance-sheet it appeared that the income has
amounted to 1,5221. 16s. 2d., and the expenditure to
1,4491. 14s. 11d., leaving a balance on the year's ac-
count in favour of the society of 831. is. 3d. This, with
the balance in hand at the last audit, has enabled the
committee to purchase 3001. stock Three per Cent. Con-
sols, making the funded property of the charity 1,1001.
Mr. Clements moved the adoption of the report, and
congratulated those present upon the progress the Re-
fuge has made. Mr. Wilkins seconded the resolution,
and remarked that the Institution had been of great im-
portance in checking vice, and of great usefulness in re-
! claiming those who hai llen, The report Wail Adopted,
