THE LORD RECTORSHIP.—We understand that the
decision regarding the suspended Lord Rectorship cannot be
made until near the meeting of Parliament, as Colonel Mure,
with whom the matter now rests, will not return from Italy
until the commencement of the session approaches. The de-
cision must be given by Colonel Alure personally, but there
can be no doubt that it will be in favour of Sheriff Alison.—
