S C 0 TLAND.

ARGYLLSHIRE.—Mr. W. Campbell is in the field
for this county : he voted for the Bill.
AYRSHIRE.—Mr. Oswald, of Auchintreen, has an-
nounced himself for this Bounty as a Reformer, in opposi-
tion to Mr. Blair, the late Member, who voted against
the Bill.
DUMBARTONSHIRE.—Lord W. Graham is not
again coming forward. Mr. John C. Colquhoun, how-
ever, is in the field, hut he has made no avowal of his
principles with respect to Reform. The late Member
opposed the Bill.
EDINBURGHSHIRE.—Sir George Clerk, in his ad-
dress, says, " that he is ready to give his support to any
measures calculated to correct the abuses which may have
grown up in the political system." That part of the sys-
tem which returns such men as the worthy candidate for
a county is, (if all ethers, perhaps the abuse most deserv-
ing correction.

FIFESHIRE.—Mr. J. Lindsay opposes Capt. Wemyss,
who supported Ministers; the new candidate is one of the
" well-regulated Reform" supporters, and talks in his ad-
dre,s of " that religion (we suppose boroughmongering
and place-hunting), which the experience of many aces
has shown to he the surest foundation of our liberties and
happiness."
HADDINGTONSHIRE.—Mr. Hope (late of Gatton)
will have an opponent on the side of the Ministerial mea-
sure of Reform in Mr. Baird, of Newbyth ; fie says that
" the measure is founded on justice, and well adapted to
calm the agitation which now exists throughout the
country."
KIRKCUDBRIGHTSHIRE.—Mr. Cutlar Ferguson
has come forward here on his old principles as a supporter
of the Ministerial Bill of Reform. A second candidate
has started. Mr. Forbes, of Callendar-house, who de.
dares himself " firmly resolved to support establishments
in church and state," and " not indisposed to support
any prudent change in the representation, consistent
with the safety of the Constitution,"—that is, with the
maintenance of rotten boroughs, and equally rotten Scotch
counties.

LINLITHGOWSHIRE.—GeneraI Sir A. Hope has
again come forward. He was an opponent of the Bill,
and declares himself opposed to any change tending to de-
prive those really (parchment voters—query?) interested
in land of their just influence in coun►y representation.
LANARKSHIRE.—Sir C. Dougles, the late Member,
comes forward again.
PERTHSHIRE.--Sir G. Murray is up again. He
declares, in his address, that "he has never been an
enemy, at any period of his public life, to prudent ame •
liorations of the political system of the country." Did
not Sir George vote against the transfer of the franchise
from East Retford to Birmingham ?

RENFREWSIIIRE —Sir Michael Shaw Stewart, one
of the few Scotch Members who supported the Bill, has
addressed the electors.

ROXBURGHSHIRE..—Mr. Scott, who voted against
Ministers, says in his address to the freeholders, that
" after the late discussions, &c. in the House, he is in-
clined to believe (a new version of the Marquis of London-
derry's ' almost lead me to think') that some equitable and
moderate alteration as to the distribution of the elective
franchise ought to be adopted. How parrot like ! These
" equitable, moderate, just, and fair" Reformers seem to
have obeyed the instructions given them by the Con•
servative Senate in Charles-street.

STIRLING BURGHS.--.llr. Johnstone has come into
.he field as a Reformer.

SELKIRKSHIRE.—Mr. A. Pringle has solicited the
suffrages of the freeholders ; he opposed the Bill. Mr.
A. E Lockhart is to be put in nomination on the
other side.
