SCOTCH ELECTIONS.

Am Buttons. —Lord James Stewart will be returned with-
out opposition. Mr. Stirling, the Tory candidate, found he
had no chance, and prudently withdrew.
DUNDEE.—Mr. J. B. Smith, President of the Manchester
Chamber of Commerce, and of the Anti-Corn-law Association,
has accepted an invitation to stand for Dundee, and arrived
there on Monday.
ROXBURGHSHIRE.—The Hon. J. E. Elliot is generally
blamed for abandoning this county at so early a period. A
meeting of Roxburghshire elect ors was held in Jedburgh on
Tuesday, at which Mr. Elliot was present. The propriety of
his resuming the field was strongly urged upon him, and he
at length consented to allow himself to be put in nomination,
but declined to canvass. _ _ _

HAWICK, TUESDAY MORNING.—It having become known
here last night, about seven o'clock, that our county was still
to be contested, not less than 5,000 human beings were in
the streets in less than an hour. About half-past eight o'clock
the shops were shut, and all business suspended. In short,
the streets were one moving mass of men, women, and ehil-
dren, who paraded the town, preceded by a band of
music, and a man carrying a placard with these words,
" Electors of Hawick who want a pound of sugar for four-
pence, and a four pound loaf for fourpence, vote for the Hon.
J. E. Elliot ! Electors of Hawick whe want to pay eight-
pence for a pound of sugar, and eightpence for a four-pound
loaf, vote for the Hon. Francis Scott !" Such a scene was
never seen here, not even at the passing of the Reform Bill
KiLstaRNOCK BURGIIS.—We are enabled to write with the
utmost confidence of the security of the Reform cause in this
district. The reception which Mr. Colquhoun experienced at
Rutherglen on Friday must have proved no slight damper to
tho hopes of the ex-legislator. The contrast between the con-
temptuous reception of Mr. Colquhoun, and that given to his
Liberal opponent, was of the most marked character, and, along
with the accounts received from the other burghs, fully justifies
us in stating, that Mr. Johnstone will without fail be returned
for this district.—Glasgow Argus.
FALKIRK BURGHS.—The blustering tone assumed during
the past week by the supporters of Mr. Baird, was calculated
to deceive those who were unacquainted with these burghs.
From returns which we have seen, and the accuracy of which
may be relied upon, we have no hesitation in stating, that
Gillon will be again returned by an overwhelming majority.
—lbid.

GLASGOW.—At a meeting of Conservatives, held in the
Black Bull Hall, on Friday, Wm. Stirling, Esq., in the chair,
it was resolved to request the Lord Provost to allow himself to
be put in nomination as a candidate for the represezi ion of
this city in Parliament. The meeting also resolved upon ma-
king application to Mr. Carrick Moore and Mr. Horatio Ross,
to come forward along with Mr. James Campbell. If (says
the Argus) the Tories make up their minds to come forward
in earnest, we promise them a much more decisive beating
than they received on the last occasion, when Mr. Robt. Mon-
teith, who has since seen the hopelessness of contesting Glas-
gow, stood forward as the colleague of Mr. James Campbell.
WIGTOWN BURGHS AND COUNT 7.-011- adviees from the
higher parts of Galloway sate succintly that the Burghs
are safe for Mr. M.Taggart, while the County will presentsome-
thing like a neck-and-neck race. Both candidates have been
exceedingly industrious; Mr. Blair, from previous service in
Parliament, possesses decided advantages on that ground alone,
and has agents to aid him equally experienced; but his op-
ponent, Captain Dalrymple, has a winning reset
that gaited
numerous friends wherever he went ; and such as dip deepest
into his secrets say, " success is in the cards, provided they
are well and skilfully managed."—Durefrics Courser.
STEWARTRY OF KIRILCUDBRIGHT.--111 the Stewartry the
issue has never been doubtful, exceptiinng as

amount of the majority that will poll faurray.
—lbid.
BANFFSHIRE.—As yet it is not by any means certain that
a Tory candidate for this county will come forward. The
requisition to Lord Redhaven —not " emanating spon-
taneously from the electors themselves," as is alleged
by the Constitutional, but hawked about with great dili-
gence by some Tory agents, who are sadly in want of emplo y -
ment as canvassers—has received some signatures on the Sea-
field estates, but in other parts of the country it has been
treated with ridicule. Up till Thursday night, not a solitary
signature had been obtained in the whole of the Ernie' i and
Tomintoul his Lordship's friends have been equally unsuccess-
fuln In the meantime Mr. Duff has madehisappeat arancer,rg
is canvassing the electors personally. He was at

INVERNESS BURGIIS.—It is understood Arthur

Robertson, Esq., of Inches, will start in the Ceruservative in-
terest for the Inverness district of burghs.
CAITHNESS-SHIRE.—Sir George Sinclair has addressed the
constituency, soliciting their suffrages at the ensuing election.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY, 8 o'CLocK:—The
utmost indignation was expressed here this evening on
the arrival of the packet, for which all Dublin was on the
qvi vice, at the lie attempted to be foisted-upon the public
by the Standard, in publishing a falsified state of the
poll, for the purpose of gaining a paltry triumph for a few
hours or minutes by such a discreditable mu. I have
seldom known, even on the part of the Tories, anything
so disgraceful. I can assure you, with the most perfect
truth, that the utmost joyous excitement pervaded the
people of the Irish metropolis, notwithstanding that
two Tories were returned, when it was known that the
leader of the House of C,,nnnons, and the hereditary
enemy of the oppressors of the pt 4 pie was ahead upon
the poll.
