SCOTLAND.

Our readers will be much gratified to learn that
Mr. Finlay's election for this district of burghs is
secured. This day Mr. R. Campbell, master-
builder in DUmbarton, was elected delegate for that
burgh. Thus two Members in favour of Reform
are returned for the burghs connected with this
county, in place of two in last Parliament against
it.—Glasgow (9irouide.
The Stirlingshire Anti-Reformers have returned
Rimsay instead of Fleming. Could there be a great, r
proof of the necessity of Refoim ? An untried boy,
of 23, instead of a man of vigorous and mature
mind, possessing talents far above the average of
his contemporaries. The Scottish counties are ab-
solutely more in need of Reform than the boroughs.
The processions at Stirling went on very quietly;
no tumult—nothing than an enemy could make a
handle of. The successful candidate, or as he ought
to be termed, the representative of the anti-national
faction, wisely ev,cuated the Town-hall by a back-
door (through the gaol, we believe), a new road to
St. Stephen's.— Ibid.

Colonel Bailhe, of Leys, has relinquished the con-
test for Inverness-shire. The Colonel came forward
on the around of opposition to the Reform Bill.
Mr. Gram- will, therefore, be re-elected on the 27th
without opposition—a circumstance as creditable to
the Right !-ion. Gentleman as to the county. Sir
Hugh Lines, of Lochalsh, as the pledged supporter
of the Bill, succeeds Lord F. L. Gower in Suther-
Inndshire. In Cromarty, we understand, there will
be a prerly close run--he Reform candidate, Mr.
Macleod, jun., of Cadboll, and Mr. Davidson, of
TuHoch, his Anti-Reforining rival, being about
equally matched.—lnverness Courier.

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, MAY 14. —The partial triumph of the
Anti-Reformers at the city election on Thursday
roused the friends of the R-form candidates from
the lethargy into which the assurance of success had
lured them, and on Frid ty morning they came to
the poll in such numbers, and with so much of sys-
tem and energy in their arrangements, that they
took a decided lead on starting, and kept their adver-
saries far in the distance during the day. The
small majority obtained by Moore and Shaw on
Thursday was soon got over, and at the dose of
yesterday's poll the Lord Mayor had a majority of
335, and Mr. Perrin of 325. The freeholders have
nobly performed their cloy to the cause of Reform,
and it is to their exertions that the victory in
Dublin, which is now no longer doubtful, is chiefly
to be attributed. It is supposed the Anti-Reformers
must retire on Monday, if they do not resign to-
night. The victory is signal and complete.
COUNTY OF DOWN.-1 apprised you on Thursday
of the stoic of the poll on the first day. Mr-. Cra‘V.-
ford, who was then in advance of Lord Castlereagh,
increas d his majority on the second day (Thurs-
day), and at the close of the poll was eighty-one
a-head of his aristocratic opponent. My letter from
Downpatriek this morning is not, however, of so fa-
vourable a elkaracter. The Marquis and AL;r•
chione-s of Londonderry have arrived in Down, alit
have set at work their joint influence to prop up
the to; tering cause of the heir of their house.
COUNTY OF WEXFORD.--The Tory, Lord Va-
lentia, is at the foot of tie poll; and, as far as I
can judge from appearances, will rem-tin there.
COUNTY of MEATH.—The late Members, Lord
Killeen and Sir Marcus Somerville (who voted foi

has been received today. We wish more than
hope for it : yet these immense armies are a heavy
burden on all the European nations.

object of the mission of Admiral Ver,iuelle : it is

The Finisterre Journal of Brest contains the
following article :—" We learn from a source which
may he deemed authentic, that Don Miguel has
agreed to give France the satisfaction and indemni,y
she requires. This will suffic,ently explain the su.-
pension of the levy of mar nes ordered by the Mi-
nister of the Naval Department, and prove to that
Government tha: France shall be respected and
obeyed every time she assumes an attitude worthy
of her-elf."

asked further explanations from the Min•sler for
Foreign Affairs on the nature of the negociations on
foot with the Cabinets of Vienna, Stockholm, Con-
stan.inople, and others, and as to the several agents
employed at these various Courts. The answers of
the Minister, without emering. into details, were
perfectly satisfactory."

The Arabian observer contains an article of a
very pacific nature. It states that if the powers
continue to manifest a disposition to peace, it will
soon he pos•ible to effect a disarmament ; and that
then nothing %%7,11 remain to be done but to regulate
the affairs of Belgium and Poland, and for this pur-
orKe a Congress might be assembled at Aix-la-
Chapelle.

It is said that several new lines of telegraphs are
about to be established, and particularly one be-
tween Paris and Nismes, by Avignon. The inter-
mediate points will also hold direct communication

large towns in the department of the Gard.

vantages derived to the navy from the use .of
