EDINBURGH ELECTION.

The flight from Egypt was a bagatelle to the appear-
ance of Edinburgh this day. It is the annual "flitting
day," and the entire population seems turning out : it
will not benefit Sir John Campbell on Friday. I send
you a squib just published. It will be the closest run
ever seen.--May '26, 1834.
The following is the squib :
COACHMAKER JOHN.
When city corruption, and Tory misrule,
Were the' life and the pride of each privileged fool ;
When bribery's beams from the Treasury shone,
Oh ! these were the days for our Coachmaker John !
When our Bill was thrown out, and the last nominee
Was sent, the last time, from our last Thirty-three ;
When the Provost was hissed from the Cross to the Tron,
Who slunk at his tail, sir, but Coachmaker John ?
But the times are all changed, and we all of us see
What a liberal coachmaker John is to be.
The Tory Lord Provost is dead and is gone,
And he comes forth a patriot, Coachmaker John !
He abuses the Whigs, and he swears 'tis severe
To keep on the house-tax another half-year ;
But who for the last fifty years laid it on?
Who, who but the Tories, like Coachmaker John ?
But all ye Ten-pounders, do go, I beseech,
To hear John thu Coaehmaker making a speech ;
For though Patrick has given him his lesson to eon,
He's but slow at the uptak', our Coachmaker John !
Such a humming and hawing, to get out a word,
Such a bungling and boggling sure never was heard ;
He'd mak' but a poor representative, von ;
Sae back to his coaches send Coachmaker John !

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 6' CL 0 CK.
The anxiety and excitement increase in the city
respecting the formation of the new ministry, which,
our city politicians say, it will be a difficult task to
accomplish ; and if not formed on a solid basis, will
not be of long duration. Up to the present time, we
have nothing official of any new appointments. All
we know is, according to West-end information, that
his Majesty has given a carte blanche to Earl Grey, to
make up the deficiency in the cabinet. The general
opinion is, that the resignation of Mr. Stanley is a
severe blow ; but Earl Grey will do all in his power
to make up the loss.

THE FUNDS.

At any other period, so important an event as the
breaking up of an administration, would undoubtedly
have had a great effect in depressing the funds, but at
present it is quite the contrary.
The Funds continue firm ; Consols, which left off
yesterday at 921 for the next Account, and 92i- for
Money, opened at 92 #, with little doing as yet.

This being the anniversary of King Charles's Re-
storation, the Royal Exchange was closed until twelve
o'clock ; the moment the gates were opened the usual
assemblage of speculators took place, who commenced
their operations, although the races has thinned the
City with the amateurs of that sport.
We have been favoured with a letter from Oporto,
four days later than the last arrival from that quarter,
the 18th May, stating that the Duke of Terceira had
reached Permes, a short distance from Santarem ;

We have this moment heard of the arrival of the
Countess of Pembroke steamer from Lisbon ; the con-
tents of her information have not as yet transpired.

HALF-PAST ONE.
The Countess •of Pembroke steamer, which has
brought the ratification of the treaty by Don Pedro,
has arrived at Plymouth, having been seventeen days at
sea---sailed from Lisbon on the 12th instant; there-
fore she cannot bring later news than we received by
the Espoir.
lip to this morning we understand that the dissen-
tients were about four millions on the four per cents.
