SCOTLAND.

(From the Scots Times.)
CLASGOW.—The sheriff having fixed Tuesday next as the
day of nomination, and Thursday and Friday following as the
days of polling, a very short interval must now elapse ere the
question be decided by whom she is to be represented. In
addition to her late members, Colin Dunlop, Esq., of Toll-
ercss, has taken the field as a candidate, after having had a re-
quisition presented to him, signed in six hours by no fewer
than 1,500 voters I No other candidate will appear; and the
struggle, therefore, must be betwixt Mr. Dunlop and Mr.
Ewing, every elector being perfectly satisfied with the vs:ARS
and principles of Mr. Oswald. Mr. Dunlop stand's or the
Liberal interest. His address is highly satise.actory
and
explicit.
PAISLEY.—The contest here seems at present to lie entirely
betwixt Mr. Ross, of pigeon-shooting celebrity, and our able
townsman, Captain Speirs of Culcreugh,.. The former is the
champion of the Church_we give them joy of their choice---
how refreshing to a sound divine to be represented by a clever
sportsman, a most accomplished pigeon-shooter 1 The latter
is the chosen of Liberal politicians, who do not think it neceP
sary to mix up Church government at this momentous crisis
with the existence of our independence and freedom as 8
nation.

( From the Edinburgh Advertiser.)
Alin-LoTurAN ELECTION.—Every thing goes on in the inOt'
prosperous manner for the canvass of Sir George Clerk, anall
understand that his election is now secure beyond all doubt. 7,
are told, to be sure, that Mr.. Craig still entertains smite hoPF,,',
and his friends say that it is grounded ttpon " the conscientiol
judgment of the electors approving of the public principles whir
lie professes ! " This may be, but if his hopes are like his print!"ples they are very little worth ; for, in fact, he professes no prio6.
pies at all, at least it is in vain to look in his address for them.
CONTEST FOR PERTHSHIRE.—The Hon. Fox Maule has bef°
again unearthed, and induced—under what influence we do 11'4
pretend to say—to withdraw himself from the privacy of Dalguise•
and enter the lists with Sir George Murray, as a candidate for th°
honour of representing the county of Perth. Mr. Alav!,e's pre'
tensions to fill the important station, either on public on priirar
grounds, are unknown. For however respectable hie
station in lit°
as the eldest son of Lord Panmure may be, he }as neither by edu-
cation nor study, fitted himself for the discharge
of the various ot_t:,
ties which the representative of a great .county is necessarily calk;
upon to perform. And as for claiMs---as a private geetleman-16
the county of Perth, he has none. He has no connection With the
c not even the indirect connection on which Mr. Robe";
land in it.
Graham founded his claims,—Lord Panmure has not an acre ob
DumBARToNsiirRE.-111r. Dennistoun has now met the elect Or.
publicly in almost every parish. Air. Smollett has not dared t°
show his face, though formally and repeatedly solicited. Mr. Joseph
Dixon, the rejected of Glasgow, and now an inhabitant of: Helens'
burgh, and James Smith, Esq., of Jordanhill, with whe,se eloquel
pnd liberal politics Glasgow has long been well acquainted, v°
force Mr. Smollett, it is said, to make a public display at Helena'
burgh on Thursday first ; we trust they will suziceed, and we trot'
soo, that some of the independent electors will attend the meeting'
and ask the candidate a few questions.
GREENOCK.—Mr. Wallace now wall's the course, and though,
in our estimation, riot a blameless representative, we know of none
who deserves better of his constituel'its.
KILMARNOCK BURGHS.—IF.Lherto no opponent to rantais
Dunlop has appeared, though application has been made to ,„
than one gentleman to become a candidate. The Captain is cer-
tainly not the representative whom we would be inclined to eh°r'6e,
if a better couid he got ; but as he has pledged himself to or,P°6o,
0
the Peel Ministry, there can be little objection to his return
on t"
present occasion.
AYR BURGHS.—Mr. Johnston's canvass prospers, r.nd there Ls
now no doubt of his sucbess.

LANARK BITRGIIS.—No opposition has at any time been t
of in these burghs.
