Perceval, and,.since his dethise, thelioliticS of
the recent Administration, he could not, ha've
failed to render himself a most acceptable Member

of this highly respectable County. Mr. PcmSouby,
whose politics are' of the Grenville cast, goes in as
the other'llemiier.
• Colonel Longfield is again to be returned for
this city. So highly is this gentleman esteemed
for the undeviating intergrity of his public and
private character, by the really opulent and inde-
pendent freemen and freeholders, here, that not a
doubt exists even in the event of a contest, that
he-could. be for a moment shaken-7—a •sure 'proof.
how justly they can appreciate the blessings which
result from the internal tranquility of their coun-
try, in opposition to the visionary schemes of
dreaming reformers.--No contest taming place; of
course Mr. Hutchinson Nvill also, be re-otected.
The Hon. Mr. Bernard, a junior branch of the
Noble Family of Earl Bandon, and brother of
Lord Bernard, Member for the County, will be

family has uniformly adopted: •

Laurence Cotter, will be returned upon the 'in-
terest of Mr. Jephson, for the town a Malloi.v. A

Fire at Dalkeith.—On Saturday, the 3d instant,
about four o'clock in the afternoon; a fire broke
in that large tenement, situate in the south-west
end of the town, occupied by Mr. Peter Moffat,
innkeeper. The houSes being covered with thatch,
and, by•anunfortunate coincidence, a strong wes-
terly gale, tepproaching even to a hurricane,
blowing at the time, in less than 15 minutes the
fire cOmmuuiCated itself to that extensive range of
houses occupied by Mr. Robert Charles, stabler,
and others, and in an instant the whole were
wrapt in one sheet of inextinguishable flanke.---
The utmost consternation ensued ; and for mac
than an hour it was_ feared that the fire would Jix
on an adjoining square of considerable magni-
tude, consisting of some of the finest buildings in
the town. .This, however, was happilYprevented.
A fire so tremendous, and causing such extensive
devastation, has not happened within the memory
of the oldest inhabitant. No less than seven fa-
milies have had nearly their whole property con-
sumed ; and though some part of it be insured, it
is understood-to be very far short of Abe loss sus-
tained. Th.e.greatest praise is due to those per-
sons who hive the management of the fire engines
of this place, as well as to the officers and pri-
vates of the Aberdeenshire Juilitia, for the great
exertions made to keep the fire under, and to se-
cure to' the unfortunate sufferers the miserable
_re-
mains of their prOperty. The DUke of Buccleugh
and Queensberry, very.mucb to -his o*n honour,
exerted himself in a most conspicuous Manner ;
but such was the violence of the flames, rendered
tenfold more dreadful by the gale, as to set at de-
fiance every human exertion. We are happy to
hear that, though some persons have been miser-
ably scorched, no lives have been lost. It has
not as yet been ascertained from what cause the
fire originated.
