GENERAL ELECTION.

INVERNESS.
(From the Inverness Courier.)
The contest for the Representation of this important County,
which for nearly two years has been matter of eager and anxious
anticipation, both to the parties interested, and to a considerable
portion of the Scottish public, has at length been brought to a
close. The day appointed for the election was Friday last the 7th
inst. ; and its near approach was evidenced by the increased ani-
mation of the roads leading to the scene of conflict, and of the
town itself; our streets rocked beneath the roll of gay equipages;
and the broad area between the two principal inns exhibited vary-
ing and motley crowds of gazers, in which age and youth—the
brave and the fitir—the plaided highlander, and the peaceful
burgess—appeared agitated by one common excitement. The
interest was in proportion to our long exemption from similar
calls on our attention, the phenomena of a contested election never
having been witnessed within this county since the year 180 t.
Of the four Gentlemen who had long since stood forward,
Colonel Baillie, of Leys, now M.P. for Hecker, withdrew from
the contest soon after hid election for that Burgh, and his example
was on the 6th inst. followed by M‘Leod, of APLeod. The re-
tirement of these two Gentlemen left the Right non. Medea
Grant and Lord Macdonald the only competitors far the vacant
prise; and the subsequent proceedings assumed all the marked
interest of a single and individual struggle.
At 12 o'clock on the day of eleetion, the freeholders assembled
in the Court-house. The throng of persons desiring admittance
was immense, and would probably have created confusion, had it
not been fear the judicious arrangements mathr to secure to the
proper members of the Court, the undistorted exercise of their
franchise. On entering the Court room, we observed that the
Bench was occupied by the two 'Candidates, supported on the
right, by the Hon. Col. Francine; William Grant of Grant, 11. P.
for the County of Moray, and Lord Lieutenant, of Invernass-shire,
and on the left by William Fraser Tytler, Esq. Sheriff of this
County. About 50 of the freeholders, as made up at the last
Michaelmas Head Court were present, together with upwards of
30 new claimants. These with the Counsel and Agents in the
respective interests of the Ciindidates, occupied the area of the
Court Rouse ; and the Gallery was appropriated for the accom-
modation of strangers.

;mance highly grateful to the public. Multitudes of persons
inrmtadiatell• thronged to the new theatre of action. The front

vests of the gallery wart graced with the presence theVeral high-
born and elegantly-dresseal 'tidies. The large central pew,
immediately under the , pulpit, technically called the Latrob,
was, occupied by the Presee end the Candidates, with a few
Friends, having their respective COuntel and Agents arranged
[ts the seats on either side; while the adjoining pews, and.even
!tie presenter's box, (of which Colonel Macilonell of Glengarry
took possession) were filled with voters. Meanwhile the hails
;eats and outer spaces, both of the gallery and of the tire of the
shush, afforded convenient stations to crowd* of epectators of va-
rious ranks, front the respectable trades':Stan to the humblest urtisa».
-Expectation was now wrought up•tn theltighest pitch ; but the
audience had not recolleeted the nature of the matters which
almost always oetsupy the foreground of a contested connty,clec-
tion. The attempt on both sides to introduce new voters on the
Molt, or to prove some of those who airAdy stand there disquali-

ments of Counsel, shed octr the subject an interest not its myth
The business begets with the clearing of the old roll. Tht name
of Mr. Bruce of Mylemore, who had renounced his qualification,
was struck off; and claims of restrietioetveve sustained, for Pa-,
crick Grant, Este of Lakefield, and thy Macleod of Macleod. The
ailments who were understood to be in the interest of Mr. Grant,
were then introduced on the roll, without any opposition on the
part of Lord Macdonald, except that initiates were tnteeed re-
serving to hint the right of objecting to some' of them, on the
ground' of nominality, if such an objection should be taken to any
of the claims preferred on his silo.
Thus far the proceeding's were tolerably smooth, but as soon
as the first claim was proposed on the part of IVl'Leod and
Lord 1114 Donald, "the tug of war" conunenced. To all these
claims in suctession, written objections and answers were entered ;
and both obiections and answers then became the subject of ani-
mated &Tette, first between the profeeeional gentlemen employed,
ind next among the members of the Court. On the part of Mr.
Grant the lead was taken by Mr. Grant of Rothietourchus, who
stated that it was a matter of fixed determintakm With Mims&
and his friends, to advance no objection of a captious or frivolous
nature, nor any which they did tint on good advice, knoW to be
well founded on law. Besides special exceptions urged against
many of the claims, there were objections common to all or most.
of them, and which, if fatal in a siogle instance, could not fail
to operate in exclusion of nearly the whole masse--In the discussions
that accompanied this part of the proceedings, no slight degree of
promptitnde and ingenuity was displayed, and AV may in perticn-
lar observe, that some lumMons and masterly expositions of feudal
law by Mr. Grant's Counsel, (Mr. Moncrieffi) excited, notwith-
standing the ruggedness and abstruseness of the subject, great and
general attention. In the Navel, the claims i.n question, three
• of which were understood Mho preferred in the interest of M`Leod
and seventeen in. that Of Lord WI/Dodd, were rejected by the
freeholders, and written protests were regularly entered on the
proceedings by their respective claituanes.
Amidst these conflicts the night passed away. A great pro-
portion of the audience, inchuling the bright bevy that fringed
the front of the gallery, had gradually disappeared. Against this
exhaustion to which the freeholders would, have been exposed,
they were protected by the use of the viands, which in great va-
riety, and with unsparing liberality, were distributed in the Ses-
ition-house adjoining to the Church ; but the attacks of sleep
were not so easily resisted, and about seven or eight o'clock, when
the wearisome continuance of discussion, and freouent reiteration
of topics, nearly or identically the Name, had worn out whatever
interest the legal part of the proceeding posseseed, no small de-
gree of drowsiness might be °heaved to pervade the, Court.
Several of the pews gave to view " nods and becks," though not
with " wreathed smiles," and even half recumbent figures and out-
stretched limbs, appeared in the distance. These sYmptorri
were, however, soon dissipated by the cosifirmed brightness
of day, and by the near approach of the crisis of Combat.
'The vacant seats were insensibly te-oeselpied. 'The gallery
again in a great degree exhibited its living embellialuneins, and
the remnants of languor were at once dispelled by the itWOUtiela-
-6011 of the Prestos, that the roll of ft eeholdera was now fully
completed, and that it, was imaranbeut on the Court to proceed
to the imMediate election of a Parliamentary Representative.
Sir Ewes; CAM/110N of Vassfern arose. The venerable Ba-
ronet, now in hie 87th year, was not able to make himself gette-
rally audible, but his reverend appearance, and the associations of
high character, and splendid ancestry attached to his name, attract-
ed the respect of the audience, while he signified that he proposed
the Right Hon. C. (;CANT asi a tit .Member for the county,
Anax. Noaata Anent), of Harris, in a speech, short Ina of ,
singular impressiveness, eeconded the nomieation. He' etated leis
regret that the task had not fallen into more competent hands. I
It was not, however, necessary for hint to recommend a prove-
eition sufficiently recominendstory of itself, and he wouldtheretore
he content with observing, that the mayor Inverueas could not
better consult its interests, or its honour, than by selecting as its
Representative the most ambient etatesinan, and most accomplish-
ed orator, whom Scotland had produced fora long series of years.
The appearance and manner of this gentleman added interest to
hie address, which 'was l'eteived with loud acclamations.
Me.cesam of Macleod then roe, and addreeled the Meeting to
the following effect:—'c Ipreeent myself to your notice, for the

that haVing.tinemand of the roll, as oar opponents have, they are

the conducting of a contest, and better known to the merits of the

views. I noes, Sit, take my leave, and beg to propose the Right
Honourable Lord Macdonald as our representative in Parliament.
• Aux. MACKINTOSH of Mackintosh, 'eeconded the noniination
of Lord Macdonald. . .
• Mr. GRANT now rose and addressed the Court, but we do not
think that any report can convey an adegoate itga of his speech.
Ile began with iitatibg that after the long and laborious duties in
which the Meeting had been engaged, it would little consist with
his respect for them, if he were guilty of any unnecessary intrusion
on their exhausted patience. But under the peculiar circumstances
•in which he was placed, be trusted that they would indulge him
with their attention for a few minutes. He then in terms of
grateful warmth, expressed his obligation to his excellent and ve-
nerable friend, Sir Ewen Cameron, for his presence and support,
for the honour of his nomination,--and for the feelings which led
him to undertake a long journey to the scene of contest, at the risk
of much 'personal inconvenience, and smiler the pressure of ill-
health, with a spirit of resolute friendship worthy of his name.
He thanked with opal fervour, the honourable gentleman who, in
such glowing terme, had seconded the proposition of the venerable
Baronet. He was fully aware that the commendations which
the honourable gentleman had been pleased to bestow on him, very
far. tranacenuied his hitutble ; but the, more deep his cons
scioUsnetie of that inferiority, the more. deeply did he feel the
partial friendship which had dictated that warmth of eulogy.
—He observed that it was now eight, years since he had first
been elected the Representative of the county in Parliaments—an
honour to which he was preferred by the concurrent voice of all
the freeholders. Since that period he had thrice been re-elected
with the same unanimity ; and besides these more solemn proofs
of the confiders e of his constituents, he had, on Various occasions,
been gratified by receiving their special thanks for his Parliamen-
tary conduct. It was under these circumstances—profoundly
sensible of his own deficiencies—yet fortified by the consciousness
Of having, to the best of his ability, rendered them faithful and
honest service—that he again presented himself to the county, as
a candidate fpr their suffrages. He knew not on what grounds it
was attempted to persuade the freeholdeys that they ought to with-
draw from him their confidence and gold ()Onion. It was, how-
ever, satisfactory to observe that, for such an attempt no ground
was professed to be laid in any Parliamentary delinquency or mis-
conduct on his part. None of his opponents, when they first en-
tered the lists, had assigned any such reason for their proceedings.
Nor wits any such reason assigned by his Hon. Friend who .had
just spoken. Those opponents bad acted far more worthily of them-
selves. They had not endeavoured tt, build their own. elevation on
the ruins of his pretensions. They had regarded the representas
thin of the county as a fair object of honourable ambition,--a
prize, to be sought and won in the field—not of personal hostility
but of honourable rivalry. For Muse& he could experience no
surprise that others should aspire, to au honour which hie awn
heart so deeply valued. Of his, honourable competitors he would
speak RS he felt, with great respect. He had no complaint to..
'make of them. Ho was perfeethy willing to admit their: claims to
the high distinction for which they were contending. Mr. Grant
proceeded in pointed terms to acknowledge the courtesy he had
experienced' from his Honourable and Noble Friend. He paid a
compliment to the character of. 111‘leod, and reverted to the
handsome support he had received from that. gentleman, tin
occasion of his first election for the countyr•—a support, how-
ever, quite consistent with his present opposition, as be (Mae
Teod) had at that time, publicly reserved to himself the right
to become a candidate whenever be should think proper. • He
then spoke at some length, and in terms of great kindness of
the merits of Lord Macdonald : recurring with emphasis to the
agreeable hours, which they fiwinerly passed together in social in-
tercourse and intimacy. The Honourable Gentleman next alluded
to the time, upwards of a year and a half. age, when the opposi.
tion to him wss first announced.- It weemerithen to be Imagined
by some persona, he said, 4, that the very menace of such an op-
position *toad drive me from the held-that the mere sound •9f
the chariot whet.ls of my rivals would, throw dismay into the ranks
of my friends. But surely no man can wonder, that enjoying a
..onnexion forma under ouch honourable auspices—repeatedly
re-
newed under auspices equally honourable—endeared by inittual
kindness and friendship-endeared to Me, above all, by the ex-
ample and memmy of one who is gone before,—l was resolved not
to relinquish it without a straggle—a struggle even ,to the.. utter-
mast. lily hon. Opponents themselves would, 1 stn persuaded, have
regarded such a relinquishment as a base desertion of my friends. I
'knew that in thitsqueAion wereius olvcd the deepest and sumo sas
clash feelings; justice fo the living, and VeneratiOn and gratitude
to the departed—ronernbrance of public service and public confi-
dence—long habitudes of friendship, matured through a series of
years, even to tenderness. , -All these wens eempreheaded within
the range of the sesseatiews, touched by, the representation of this
county. To these feelings end sentiments I Made 'My appeal.
made my 'appeal to you. And Imw has that appeal been answered?
The egt1(10111* of my Hooourable Friend bbs told you. You have
yourselves given the living and eloquent reply. , . You have rallied
round me. I should in vain attempt to express my feelings at the
unexampled ardour and devotion which, on this anxious oecasion,
have been manifested toward, me by tug friends. When I look to
the right awl the left of me, and behold the support with which
am honoured, the illustrious names arrayed in nay favour—names
among the most honourable in Scottish history...-.names: recorded
in our traditions, and blazoned in our annals—
'• " Unspotted names, and memorable lung,
" If there he force in virtue or in song."
When I reflect on the personal inconvenience, the fatigue,—in
some instatteets even the hazard•—that 'have been cheerfully • in-
curred—when "'consider from what distant quarters some of-my
valued !supporters have flocked to my aid—whenswith this excess of
enthusiastic friendship, I contrast n ty own feeble preteusiens—when 1
recollect the many' end deep deficiencies of which I am conscious,
in comparison with the obligations imposed on we, anti the res-
ponsibility which I ought to feel—l contests,- I ain astonished, and
can ascribe my present situation, only to the superintendence of
tha, gracious Providence, whom I desire to acknowledge in every
event, of my life. Gentlenien, I have done. I now leave the
'question in your hands—l hive often experienced your kindness
and your justice ;—to that well-known • justices-to that deeply
felt kindness, my heart and my conscience alike embohlen me to
commit the result of this appeal."
We have thus afforded as perfect 4 sketch as we are able, of an
address which probably even the Right lion. Gentleman himself,
would find it hard to recover; with any accuracy. It was a-buret
Of eloquenee and fiseling, Called forth-by the peculiar eircumetan-
ees iu which he was placed, and its effect on the sympathies of
the audience was evinced, not only by the enthusiastic applause
.Which:seminpanied and followed it, but by net inore unequivocal
sYmptonts of general and profound emotion.
Lord Maeonsa in begged to express his obligations to the
gentlemen freeholders who bad favoured him with-their support
and in so doing, he NUM assure the meeting that if he haul been
aware how much the Right Hon. Gentleman possessed the con&
dence and support of the county, be would not, have troubled
them on this occasion. Indeed he was led to expect a very dif-
ferent result. But considering that the county hoe been repre-
sented for a quarter of a century
by the family of the Right Hon.
Gentleman, and considering his large stake in the county, it waft
natural that lie should continue to aspire after the high honour.
He (Lord-Macdonald) expected to be more fortunate on a future
occasion.
The Hon. Prows then proceeded to call the roll and collect the
votes, when Mr. Grant first, and afterwards Lord Macdonald,
respectively declined voting. Colonel Mcdonnell, of Glengarry,
in giving his vote, stated that up to that moment he was totally on.-
declared, and that,- though he gave his vote for Mr. Grant, he did
-net wholly approve of certain parts of his public conduct which
he *Pealed. Colonel Grant, of Grant, accompanied the declara-
,
tmts. of his vote by a Ana exposition of his sentiments, in which
lie eulogised in my oaten-and appropriate terms, both the public
qualifications and private-virtues of his Right Hon. Friend and

Thus terminated this remarkable and. keenly expected contest ;
in which, supposing the . losing candidate to have bad every ad-
vantage, of which he was deprived either by the absence of
promised supporters, or by the rejection of tendered votes, still his
opponent must have won the battle by an overpowering majority.
The result has proved the deep hold of the Right Hon. Gentle-
man, on the confidence and affection of the Metropolitan county of
the Highlands. No party, no interest, no contrivance, secured
his return. It was accomplished by the great body of the inde-
pendent proprietors, and reflects equal credit on the electors and
the•representative. Among his supporters there were many who
resorted to the election, under circumstances of great peril,
difficulty, and inconvenience. In this view the names of Major-
General Macdonald, or Major Fraser of the 7th Draloons,
of • Sir James Riddell, 9f Mr, M'Pberson Grant, yr. of Hahn-
dalloch, of Sir Ewen Cameron, • and of Captain Cameron,
r. of Lochiel, have been mentioned, and in particular those of
the two last. The aged Baronet might fairly have remained at
his mansion in the west Highlands, and have pleaded his years and
infirmities in excuse for his absence : his young Chief and relation
hurl a similar cause of detention in London, where he luul very
recently been confined in consequence of a serious injury occasioned
by the fall of his horse; both, however, 'lusted to the standard
which they had adopted, with a spirit and fidelity characteristic
of • the names they bear : and the celebrated clan of Cameron
seemed well represented by the veteran dignity of the one, con-
trasted with the youth and engaging appearance of the other.

MR. GRANT'S DINNER.
r : lo the evening a splendid dinner was given by Mr. Grant on
the occasion' of his re-election, to about 140 persons, consisting of
the freeholders who bad supported him, the magistracy and clergy
of the town, and many other gentlemen both from the town and
the neighbouring parts of time county. The great room of the
hotel, though thronged with tables, was not equal to the ammo-
mialation of this party;, about twenty therefore dined in another
apartment, and joined the larger company after dinner. Mr.
Grant was in the chair, toupported on the right and left by no in-
roti.dileridde 'display of the ,ohlattninry wed ehivelry' of the north,
ineluding the .eouteling none* of ',Fahnfern, Levin, Loehiel the
younger, Glengarry,. Glennwriston,,. and several others. At the
opposite corners of the room Mr. Grant of Rothiethurelms, and
Mr. Robert Grant of Drummore, M. P. officiated as Croupiers.

In the entrance-hull was stationed the excellent band of the Inver.
ricst4shire Militia. The tables groaned with a profusien of deli.

cacies and of choice wines of uncommon excellence. 80,

ehief merit of the entertainment coosimeti in the tone of spirit an,

of feeling which the gnestfl aialt!d; in the diffusion of a hilarity
full 'without iwerflowing—in the perpetual :now. of kindly and
Cordial sentiments, mingled with principlea of a loftior and more
public nature.
~After the. cloth had been removed, the usual toasts coniinemo-
rative of the King ,and of the Members of hit Royal House, were
proposed by Mr. Grant, and were drank by the company amidst
tumultuous cheering. - •
' The lion. Wm.' Fraser, brother of Lord Saltoun, then retie,
and in a short but effective speech, after congratulating the com-
pany 911 the issue of the contest in which they had been engaged;
and eulogizing in strung and' appropriate terms, the distinguished
individual on Whom the choice of Hui
,County lied fallen, begged
to propose the Right Hon. Charles (leant, with all the honours.
The key-note of enthusiasm was struck by the annunciation of
this toast. It was drank with the enthusiasm which might have
been expected, and the loud and long continued tumults of applause
that followed, could scarcely be controlled, in order to afford Mr.
Grant en opportunity of tuldressing the company.
The speech of the Right Honourable Gentleman was concise,
but highly warm' and energetic. He acknowledged both the sup-
port which he had received from the freeholders, and the convivial
honours which they had now paid him, in terms of eloquent gra-
titude. "To you" (he observed) " l confided my cause ; satisfied
that a representative who, to the best of his ability, consulted your
interests, would never find his own interests suffer in your hands ;
you have, not merely not disappointed that expectation; you have
fulfilled it beyond my most sanguine hopes:—with the deepest
emotions, I thank you."--.(Great applause.)
Sir JAMES MILES Rionm..t., Baronet, begged leave to propose
a toast to the health of a gentleman whom he was happy to call his
friend, and who established his relation to their eloquent chairman,
by the possession of kindred virtues, talents, and attainments—Mr.
Robert Grunt, M. P.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. Roamer GRANT expressed his deep sense of the compli-
ment which had been paid to him by his Hon. Friend and the
companya compliment to which he felt be htul no pretension ;
and the gratification which he derived from tho occasion on which
they were assembled. During the last 86 hours, he hid seen the
freeholders in various states of inconvenience, if not of privation—
at morning, noon, and night—but in each state and at each period,
their spirit and their purpose had remained unchanged.—(Loud
applause.)
The Preset next proposed the health of thallighly respected
Baronet who, at an age almost patriarchal, and in an extremely
delicate state of health, bad quitted ,the comforts of his borne, and
exposed himself to the fatigues and ineonveniencies -both of a
tedious jourpey, and of their late protracted contest, in order to
afford him the benefit of his support and countenance. The health
of Sir Ewen Cameron was immediately drank, not only with the
usual honours, but with visible demonstrations of the respect due
to hisage and character. 'The venerable Baronet rose, with much
emot ion, and after thanking the company, proceeded, in their sight,
to drain to the dregs a hearty buMper of acknowledgment.
Mr. GRANT-..." I now rise to announce a toast which will, I
am sure, be received with perfect cordiality, I will not say that
I 'impose it in order to bury in oblivion all the feelings of animo-
aitrwhien our recent contest may have excited ; for I can assert,
for myself, and I an persuaded also for my friend, that in our
bosoms no feeling of animosity
has •existed for a moment. It is,
therefore, only as a just and genuine tribute of respect to the vir-
mons and estimable qualities of the noble individual referred to,
that 1 invite a bumpers with the honours, to the health and hap-
piness of Lord Macdonald."
The feelings which dietited this proposal were instantly caught
by the assembly; and the health and happiness of the rival cans
dithite were drank amidst loud and general cheering, and with

At this stage of the proceedinas it was announced that a depu-

taining his supporters inta friends, west, desirous of being ad"
mitted for the purpose of delivering a message to the ',reseal
company ; the request was instantly complied with ; the depute-

Macdonald; Macleod of Macleod, and Mr. Sirielair, younger of

the &ardt with lin-
nours as sincere as atedrid the betted at which the Noble. Loyd
himself had presided. A similar tribute had since been paid to
Mr. M`Leod. He would now propose the united bealthi of Lord
M‘Donald and Nl‘Leod of M'Leod, and invited the deputation to
join in a floWing hiiniper to that toast.
M'Leod shortly returned thanks.
•Mr. Grant now submitted to the coliqiely that it would be
proper to:requeSt Some gentlemen of their own-bo4 to !Proceed as
a, deputation to the opposite inn, with the expression of 'their
good feelings towards Lord Macdonald, and the party there:assem-
bled. the proposition being received with universal plaudits,
the Hon. W. Fraser, Sir Francis, Mackenzie, and' Mr. Grant of
Rothiemurehus, were forthwith named aft the members of the
prnpesed deputatioq, and accepted the office. To this proceeding
hthvever, some degree of opposition arose, in a quarter from
Which it could hardly have been anticipated.
Mr. Robert Grant addressed the company, and after declaring
his entire concurrence in the liberal and benevolent sentiments
professed by all parties, observed that the best feelings of humanity
were too often alloyed by a tincture of selfish iuteeest, and that
to this rule he did not himself pretend to furnish an exception.--
He then remarked, that when he recollected the relation between
one of the members, (Mr. Dudley Macdonald) of the deputation
from Lord Macdonald and the Noble Lord by whom they were
commissioned, he could not help feeling some -little jealousy, at
being himself excluded from the similar embassy Which the pre-
sent company were about to delegate. The complaint of Iklr, R.
Grant was received w ith much applause and pleasantry, and the
Hon. Gentleman washy acclamation voted a member of the de-
putation from Mr. Grant ; and with his Colleagues immediately
proceeded on the appointed service.
The healths of Lady Macdonald, Mrs. Macleod of Macleod, and
the other ladies who had honoured the meeting of yesterday with
their presence, were then proposed by Mr. Fraser, of Torbreck,
and were drank with great applause.
Mr. GEORGE SINCLAIR, one of the deputies from Lord Mac-
donald, now requested leave to propose a toast ; and be prefaced it
with a Speech distinguished by its merit, and delivered with emi-
nent propriety. The following is a brief and imperfect sketch :
" Although nearly allied in blood to the unsuccessful candidate on
this occasion, I feel gratified in being employed to convey to my
-Right Hon. Friend, Mr. Grant, any message of a friendly nature ;
as well as in the opportunity of being allowed publicly' to testify
my sense of his merits. I have long known and admired him.—'
I chanced to he present in the House of Commons when he made
his first speech in Parliament. Of that speech he had scarce pro-
nounced a few sentences, when lie rivetted the attention. of the
House ; and he had no sooner taken his seat, than I expressed my
conviction to those near me, that we had before us an individual
fitted to rise high in the councils of his Sovereign, and in the esti-
mation of the public. For that prophecy I take no credit ; for my
voice only coincided with that of 'every Other individual present.
The prediction, however, has been fidfilled. Mr. Grant has, by
the force of his 'own intellectual endowments, risen to places of
high honour and trust, and hat discharged-his public and official
duties with credit to himself, with usefulness to the country, and
with the almost unqualified approbation of public men of all par-
ties. Retired, Sir, as I have long been, from public life, and re-
siding in a remote district of the country, I yet enjoy opportuni-
ties of observing the conduct of my early friend, and my solitude
has often been enlivened by receiving sonic, new and additional
proof of the soundness of my original prediction."--(Loud and con-
tinued cheering).—Mr. Sinclair then proposed " The health of
the Chairman," which was drank with unanimous applause.
" The Hon. Dudley Macdonald," by the Chairman.
" George Sinclair," by the Chairman.
Mr. Sinclair,again addressed the company, in a short speech,
distinguished by its wund taste and propriety.
The li.oor-tree of tilongurry," by the Chairman.
GLENGARRY returned thanks. So long as the Right Hon.
Chairman enjoyed the support of 'two chiefs from the west, he
might always command the west, He begged leave to gives a
sentiment—" May the laurels which Mr. Grant has this day bound
round his brow, long continue green and unfading."- (Lond ap-
plause.)
• Mr. GRANT observed, that if any such laurels were bound round
his brow, they were placed there net' by himself, but by the kind-
ness-Of his friends; and he could only say, that if they proved as
unfading as his gratitude, they would rival in immortality the Par,
liaysan laurel itself.---(Applause.)' •
Mr. GRANT of Glenmorriston, in rising to propose a tout,
obseived, that however much the successful candidate owed to the
support of his friends, he certainly lay under strong obligations to
his professional. advisers. The triumph of the day bad been ren-
dered much more complete by their uncommon exertions. lie
alluded mare particularly to one distinguished professional gentle-
man, who bad by his eloquence imparted interest to the usually
dry details of • election laws,—he meant Mr. Alonerieff.—(Loud
cheers.)
Mr. Moiseitierr..—" I request the company will accept my
thanks for the flattering manner in which this toast has been
given and received. I am' little conscious of the merit that has
been ascribed to me. My success do this occasion was founded on
the able. assistance I received, and on the justness of the doctrines
it was my business to uphold. I hope that on every occasion
when professionally employed, a sense of my responsibility will
prompt me to make every exertion for the interests of my consti-
tuents. 1 must isay, however, that on this occasion all the feelings of
my heart, and all the anxieties of my mind, accompanied my pro-
fessional labours. My duty and my inclination went hand in hand
together. It in my pride to be in any way instrumental, in addiug

• The company were next deeply interested and affected by an
address front Rothiemurchus, to which, as well as to the impres-
sion it-prOduced, we regret our sitter inability to do justice. The
Hon. Gentleman enlarged with great feeling and eloquence on
the worth, public and private, of the late Mr. Chas. Grant, .the
former Member for this county; enumerated many of the great
local advantages which the. Highlands of Scotland had derived
from his patriotic labours; . depicted, in pathetic fetus, the
strength tied constancy of his friendship and social affections; and
concluded a speech repeatedly interrupted by an excess of emotion
its which the audience fully sympathized, by proposing cc The

The toast having been drank, Sir James Riddell after returning-
thanks, spoke to the following effect :—" The exertion which nay
Hon. Frietid Mr. Robert Grant has commended, is not worthy of
mention; the arrangements for my journey having been so effec-
tually
made by my friends here, that it cost me little labour. Had
that exertion, however, been ten times greater, I should have
thought myself amply recompensed, I have seen a glorious sightr

each other in devotion to the common cause of independence, soil
to the support of their favourite candidate. Even ladies of high • ,
rank nearly sat out the silent watches of the night, while with.
eager anxiety they marked the progress of the conflict. I glory in
the result, and sincerely do I wish that my own and everY . •
County of Scotland would take example by that of Inverness.-
Sincerely do I wish that every freeholder in the kingdoms
laying his hand on his breast, would vote according to his con-
science, .- •
and to the best interests of his country. Such is my
own fixed resolution : and my Right Hon. Friend, to whom I
owe my introduction to this county, gave me that introduction. I
am sure, because he knew the unbending firmness of my prin-
ciples., Were this rule generally followed, then might vve expect
to see our country raised in the scale of legislation ; then nught
we expect that its true interests would be properly understvad and
eloquently advocated ; and then might we expect to find its a•ffairs
