ling, younger of heir, to enter upon the hopeless task of oust-
ing Lord James Stuart. Judging from the tone.; of Mr. Stir-
ling's address, we do nr,t expect that he will venture so far in
his silly crusatle as to :40 to the poll ; and, in fe ct, not a single
individual has ;been foolish enough to ask a vote for him in Ayr.
On Saturday, ford James Stuart completed a most euccessl
canvass in Ayr.
BANFFSHIRE.—"Are are indebted to our Contsmpee.ary the
Constitutional, fir the accurate designation o' the new Tory
candidate for 13anff shire. He has been talked t,f for some days,
bet under such a .variety of names that no one could tell ex-
actly who he was.. Some called him Lord. Redhive—others
Lord Redhall—a nd a third set Lord Hee:herring ; but the
real title turns oat to be Lord Redhave n, and belongs, it
seems, to the eldest son of the Earl of Scsfield.—Aberdeen
herald.
SCOTTISH ELECTIONS.—The number of counties to be con-
testedin Scot/and is six —Kirkeudbritilitshir e, Renfrewshire, Stir-
.
iingshire, Virigtonshire, Banffshire, and Lo.narkshire. We wish
• we could add Ayrshire, Dumbartonshi re, and Argyles/me. The latter are still without. Liberal CA rulidates, although, in
stm:le of them, we believe, the Reforra interest is sufficiently
strong to warrant a contest. With regard to the burghs, it is
understood that there will be contests in the following places :
--Ayr, Dumfries, Elgin, Falkirk , Greenock, Haddington,
K ilmarnock, Perth, Stirling, Wic.4, and Wigton. Of these,
Snrufries and Stirling will attract comparatively little interest,
ergie struggle is to be betwe:en Liberals. Leaving them
fore out of the list, there are of counties and burghs in
Scotland, fifteen seats to he c ontested. It depends on these
at laces whether the popular c'„, use in Scotland shall gain or lose
hthat approaching election. *ln the Parliament just concluded,
eea of these have been in, the hands of Liberals, and four in
hands of Tories. Ti e chief contests will be in Lenfrew-
shire, Stiriingshire, The chief contests will be in F.enfrew.
shis.o, Stiriingshj, WiJ4,nshire, Lanarkshire, and the Kil-
• suarnock burghs.
.IIarIiESTNATION 90.. r THE ClTY.—Letters received from
LLeStr a John Campbell on Monday. announced the completion of
the
rrangernent so often talked of, by which he succeeds
Lord Plunkett as C, often
of Ireland. He renounces his
ok;; Claim, however, to t' se retiring allowance, and therefore does
15 '44 I'st. go, like Ed, rard Sugden, tn secure a comfortable pro-
yinon for life, in re turn for a few months' services. This event
11-41)Pening almost :lose upon the elections, took the Liberal v. trty surprise. A numerous meeting of the Aggregate
rarontee of the I dberal electors was held upon the subject
yesterday, which vr, I have briefly reported elsewhere. It was
reed to put Mr. 'o7m. Gibson Craig in nomination as a can-
date, and he has accepted the invitation. The Dissenters'
rarnittee, who me t the night before, resolved to invite Mr.
wart, who is now c anvassing the Dumfries Burghs, and a de-
gone n ff to confer with him upon the subject.
e. result of their n 1;sslon will be known this evening. Re-
Pmt states that his p: :ospects are extremely good in the south-
e
eme r!' burghs, and the probability therefore is, that he will de-
invitation. —Scotsman.
