NOMINATION AT KILMARNOCIC.

(From the Scotch Reformers' Gazette.) ,
KILMARNOCK, SXTURDAY.—This was an exciting al
in Kilmarnock. By Mr. Robertson retiring, the grotto
remained clear for the Hon. Edward P. Bouverie, Refor-
mer ; Mr. Henry Vincent, Chartist ; and Mr. Henry
T. Prinsep, Tory. Shortly after 12, as these gentlemen
approached the Council Chambers, and appeared on 1.138
balcony, they were severally loudly cheered—Mr. Illn"
cent, as a matter of course, coming in for a double share
of popular favour. The windows of the opposite buildings
were filled with the beauty and fashion of the district ;
and the house-tops were clad by a number of anzl°lll
and daring adventurers. of
Mr. Sheriff Bell officially commenced the business
the day. Mr. Sheriff-substitute Jameson was also oil
the platform, as was also Provost Brown, Bailies Blot
wood, Wilson, and Young, Sir J. Campbell, Sir J.
Fairlie, Charles M'Allister, Esq., E. H. J. Craufurd,
Auchenames ; J. Pattison, Esq., Cunningham head; •
Cowan, Esq., Ayr ; G. Mitchell, Esq., Glasgow;
Andrews, Esq., writer; L. Lamond, Esq., writer, 30.
Mr. HUGE CRAIG, ex-Chartist, in a highly laudatorf,
speech, proposed Mr. Henry Vincent, with the confiders,
expectation that ere long he would be the Right fl? „1.1;
Sir Henry Vincent, Prime Minister of England ! Ti
auspicious announcement was received with loud cheers.
Mr. GEORGE OSBORNE seconded the nomination.
Provost BROWN came before the meeting, not, to oak;
a long speeeh, but simply to propose the Hon. T.
Bouverie as a fit and proper repretentative.
Bailie YOUNG seconded this nomination, and expresso('
his conviction that Mr. Vincent's appearance would 0011
divide the Reform interest.
Mr. WM. WALLACE proposed Mr. Prinsep, the Cer
servative candidate.

Mr. J. THOMSON seconded the nomination.
Mr. VINCENT then stepped forward, and in a long sO,
highly popular manner addressed the multitude, eschl:
ing all party feeling—appealing to the sense of jusn
and conviction of his hearers—and leaving the result o
the contest in the hands of the Reformers themselle4
He denied the assertion that had been made, thatL'A
came to divide the Reform constituency, and asset
that he witc the only candidate who could honestly CO'
forward, anti appeal to the people.
The Hon. P. BOUVERIE then addressed the meetil
and stated that, respecting as he did the character, %e
honouring the abilities, and appreciating nearly all the
political principles of Mr. Vincent, he could not go
whole length that that gentleman was prepared to
In reference to his other opponent, Mr. Bouverie
dered that he was totally unfit to represent the 101).d
Mr. Bouverie then defined the true meaning of the te';
Conservative—that a Conservative is truly a 1.0.1.1'
opposed to the alteration of the corn-laws, and the los:
provernent of colonial interchange laws. Having llitioa
trated at length the evils of these restrictive laws---40
dwelling on the absurdity of rejecting slave sugar, ale
accepting slave-grown cotton and tobacco,—Mr„ Boujer
concluded by a hearty appeal to the numerous asserobw
which was favour ably received.
Mr. PRINSEP then addressed the assemblage, but bble4ij
Conservative opinions were far from being ali'S•ei
and he was accordingly but indifferently received,
frequently interrupted by loud and repeated mark
dist,approbation. t fet
The SHERIFF then took a show of hands—firs; for
Mr. Vincent, when a whole forest was shown—next
Mr. Bouverie, when comparatively few appeared
as for Mr. Prinsep, we only observed a stout gentleol""
in the centre holding up both hands I
The SHERIFF then declared Mr. Vincent elected

by the other two candidates, which would take placed,

GATHERINGS EXTRAORDINA.--
•
A venerable pair, man and wife, and both toff A
respectable people, died lately in Galloway, wine,
day of one another, whose effects, if brought to ion
would furnish matter for one of the most curicion
catalogues that was, perhaps, ever submitted by
auctioneer to the attention of the public. Ainlds' to
popular reports abroad on the subject, it is difficultken
arrive at the exact truth; but as we have to the
some pains to inquire into the facts eli i.
case, the following will be found a close spr
motion : —Deposits of siver coin, secreted
places where no one would have ever dres!l',
of looking for such articles—one parcel carefll
wrapped in a piece of rag, found in a corner of
lumber-drawer, others in paper crammed into an
basket, or hid in outhouses or some equally unprole
ing corner. These coins appear to have been shut e
from the light of day for a number of years, froth :0
different values they represent, such as ls. 6d., 19.9 0t
2s. 6d., and 55., and had become in consequences ilif.
only tarnished, but nearly as black as soot ileb,
There were also gold coins, foreign as well as Brits
of very small values, up to 51., with a great the
riety of very different articles, the fancy °f inB
parties appearing to have been, to have a soinno
of everything. Of these, let the following sPecaiwur
suffice richly-mounted riding-whips; l° 90
broken pieces of linen ; 30 pairs of good sbeets;od,
dozen of towels ; about 250 rich-coloured silk ihti 30
kerchiefs ; 3 dozen thimbles, of divers meet, of
pairs of scissors, and 1 gold pair ditto ; 100 1)1` 16
silk stockings ; 30 gowns, made and unmade' 1
women's bonnets ; a lot of shoe-makers' vas
threads, with bristles attached ; coffin-lacing ; 5,111
