EDINBURGH, AVG. 3.—Yesterday, pursuant
to Royal Proclamation, the Peers of Scotland ao:sembled in the
Picture Gallery at Holyrood House, to choose a Representative
to sit in the present Parliament, in the room of the Earl of
STAIR, deceased. The votes having been read over, the Elec-
tion was declared to have fallen on Lord Arbuthnot, the num-
bers being—
or Lord Arbuthnot, . . . . 29
Lord Reay . . . . . 1
Majority for Lord Arbuthnot -
Lord ARBUTHNOT, in a very few words, and in a low tone
of voice, returned thanks.

After an appropriate prayer by the Rev. Dr. liTtYcE, im-
ploring the divine favour and assistance on the Peer elect, their
Lordships separated.
Noblemen who voted for Lord Arbuthnot—The Marquis of
Lothian ; Earls Kellie, Findlater, Kintorc, Roseberry, and
llopetown ; Lords Torphichen, Elibank, and Rollo.
Noblemen who voted by signed lists—Dukes of Lennox,
Gordon, Argyll, and Montrose ; Marquis of Queensbury ;
Earls Morton, Moray, Strathmore' Haddington,
Wemyss, Aboync, and Dundonald ; Lords Forbes, Saltoun,
Gray, Somerville, Colvin of Culross, Napier, and Forrester.
For Lord Recy—By signed list, the Duke of Argyll.

BRIGHTON, Atro. s.—The Duke of YORK ac-
companied by Colonel Cooke, arrived at the
Marlborough-row part of the Palace, No. 8, at
about seven o'clock this evening. _His Royal
Highness's Private Secretary, Mr. Dighton, will
be here to-morrow. Should the weather turn
out tolerably favourable, his Royal Highness's
stay here, it is said, may be lengthened to six
weeks. It is regarded as likely that the King
may land here on his return from Ireland ; and
so, that the Royal Duke may give his Ma-
jesty the first welcome on landing. But con-
jecture is ever ready in framing such events as
the heart desires ; and such, for ought that is
known to the contrary, may be our case in the
present instance.

THE KING'S VISIT TO SCOTT. IND.—We are in-
formed that a letter has been received from his
Glace the Duke of ATIIOLL, in which his Grace
states, that having had a private audience of his
MAJESTY, he asked whether it was his MAJESTY'S
intention to visit Scotland this season, as was
reported. His MAJESTY'S answer was that he
had no such intention this season, but that he
might probably be disposed to gratify the peo.
ple of Scotland next season.--(Perth Courier.)

—TH E DUKE 'OF WELLINGTON (Dover, Aug.
s.)—His Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON sailed
yesterday morning in the Eclipse packet from
the Roads, at 11 o'clock, for Calais. His Royal
Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE accompanied
his Grace to the place he embarked from. The
'guns from the Heights' Battery fired a salute
immediately when his Grace embarked in the
boat which was to convey him to the packet.
After remaining a short time at the Ship Inn,
his Royal Highness embarked on board the Lord
Duncan packet, Captain HAmltiroN; for Calais,
-7which sailed under a salute from the guns r.t the
Heights.

We are extremely sorry to announce the serious
indisposition of Lady FITZWII.LIAM. The family
were to have left Milton, on Friday last, for
Wentworth House, but were prevented by the
sudden illness of her Ladyship, which was so
serious as t cause Lord Mir.ToN to be sent for
by express from Doncaster, where he was attend-
ing his duty as an Officer, in the Southern Regi-
ment of Yeomanry Cavalry. Her Ladyship was
somewhat bitter on Tuesday, but not so much
so as to afford any very sanguine hopes of her
recovery. The whole family, and especially her
venerable Lord, are involved in the greatest
anxiety and distress.--(Wakefield Journal.)
