EDINBURGH.-!--Mr. Black, who was elected for
Edinburgh about a year ago, on the retirement of
the Right Hon. T. M. Macaulay, again offers him-
self as a candidate for the city, with every prospect
of his being returned. Mr. Cowan, who ousted
Mr. Macaulay in 1847, and who still represents
the city, has also intimated his intentions again to
stand. Various other candidates have been named
as likely to come forward, but no one has yet taken
the field.
GLASGOW.--Mr. Buchanan, the gentleman
elected last week to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Mr. John Macgregor, has announced
his intention of offering himself at the approach-
ing general election. There is much difference of
opinion as to the second seat. It is pretty gene-
rally desired that Mr. Alexander Hastie, the sitting
member, should retire, and various focal names
have been mentioned from whom a successor may
be chosen, but as yet nothing has assumed a definite
form.

GREENOCK.—Mr. A. Dunlop has intimated his
retirement from this burgh on account of his vote
against the Ministry, which is distasteful to the
great majority of the constituency. Admiral Sir
Houston Stewart, Sir Henry RawHugon, Lord
Melgund, and several lozal gentlemen have been
spoken of for the seat, but nothing is as yet de-
cided.

represented these 'burghs for 16 years, has an-
nounced his intention once more to tender his ser-

unworthy coalitions as that which lately attempted
to throw out Lord Palmerston. No opposition has
yet been intimated.

- LEITH BURGHS. —The Lord-Advocate addressed
meetings of 11.78 supporters at Portobello and Mus-
selburgh on Tuesday, and at both places resolu-
tions were passed unanimously expressing confi-
dence in Lora Palnierston's Government. Mr. -
Miller, of Liverpool, has been mentioned as a pro-
bable candidate to contest these burghs with the
Lord-Advocate.
RENTREWSHIRE. —The vote of Sir Michael Shaw
Stewart, in opposition to the Ministry, on the
Chinese question, has given much dissatisfaction ,
in this county, which embraces a strong Liberal
element. It is understood that Mr. Cunningham, -
of Craigends, will start on the latter interest, in
opposition to Sir Michael:
