INVERNESS-SHIRE ELECTION.—The friends of
the Right Hon. Charles Grant, are on the alert, and have
made a very successful canvass in his absence. The result is,
that Mr. Grant, should he receive no additional pledges on
his arrival, will be returned by a much larger majority than on
the last occasion in 1832. A careful examination has been
made of the whole roll, with reference to the pledges actually
received in the different districts, and the return of Mr. Grant
seems to be beyond all doubt. The Right Hon. Gentleman
is daily expected, as he was to leave London immediately on a
successor being appointed to the Board of Control._Gorre•
