REPRESENTATION or ROSS-SHIRE AND
CLACKMANNAN.—The Right Hon. Col. Abercromby has
resigned the representation of the united counties of
Clackmannan and Kinross, and Gen. Morison has
started in the Liberal interest. This step, on the part of
the Gallant Colonel, has, we regret to say, been caused
by the state of his health. A more zealous and inde-
pendent Member than Col. Abercromby the House did
not contain ; but, ever alive to the interests of his coun-
try, he felt that this was no time for a Member to be
absent from his post, and therefore voluntarily placed in
the hands of his constituency the seat which they had,
at last election, so cordially committed to his keeping.
While all, even the political opponents of Col. Aber-
cromby, must lament the cause of his retirement from
public life, it is still satisfactory to him, and to the Li-
beral party, that a worthy successor has been found.
Gen. Morison has long served his country in India, and
latterly was a member of the Supreme Council of the
Governor-General, along with our distinguished Mem-
ber, the Right Hon. T. B. Macaulay. The selection for
this high appointment is a sufficient testimony of his
inciples,
dd talents and spirit in public affairs. As to the liberality
of his
straightforward address
only to refer to his own
; from which it will be seen
that he is not a Reformer of yesterday. In the words of
a Correspondent, "he is' one of the right sort." It is
understood that he will be allowed to walk the course, as
did his gallant predecessor at the last election.—Caledo-
nian Mercury.
THE END OP MORTALITY.--There is some-
thing peculiarly humbling in the dissolution of frail mor-
tality! While the executor pries, with authority, into the
formerly secluded secretaire, and searches knowingly for
the last will and testament of the frail departed, there is
something of a sickening character to see the legal re-
presentative looking into the pocket-book or the purse of
the dead, and conning over the private memoranda of a
depepulated spirit. The loved or the paid, who watched
about the couch of the flying soul, are all gone to some
other occupation, or but occasionally renew the sacrifi-
cial homage of tearful regret or attentive consideration
to the last relies of once dignified man. He who deals
in black does his part, and the people meet, and the last
garb or wooden receptacle is brought down the stairs,
where once the living being moved upwards with all the
sprightliness of health, and all the buoyancy of a mind
at ease. Then the chamber is cleared, the house is ven-
tilated, the chair is put into its accustomed place, the
garments, which lately warmed the living limb, laid by,
Things move on as if the absent one had never heel).—
Essex Herald.
PAISLEY, JAN. Paisley itilbgb hate
now reached the pltchs the, as regards business; they
can scarcely be worse. We anticipate no more
failures in this town) because all *fie *eh
ness to any extent (Ottgept It Very tew capitalists,
who have for a long time been lying on their oars,
rather than pursuing their usual vocations) already
have failed. We anticipate no further throwing of
our
workmen, because, so far as the trade of Pais-
ley is concerned scarcely any of them are on,.
ployed, at least three-fourths of the few weavers
who have work being employed by Glasgow ware-
houses. The number on the relief list of Paisley,
Johnstone, &c., is 16,770. In Paisley the increased ac-
cumulation of misery is every week becoming more ap-
parent, from the protracted sufferings of the people.
Several thousands of our lately industrious and inde-
pendent operatives are now as destitute and helpless as
common beggars.—Glasgow Post.
A human skeleton, in a perfect state, was found
on Monday by some labourers, who were digging gravel
in a pit at Stibbington, adjacent to Wansford. Such
things are very common in the parish. The deposit is
thought to be referable to a very ancient period.---Stam-
ford Afereury.
