ELECTION OF A REPRESENTATIVE PRER
FOR SCOTLAND.

EDINBUitGH, JULY 9. .
Yesterday being fixed for the election of a Represen-
tative Peer, to sit and vote in Parliament, in room of
the late Marquis of LOTHIAN, the Peers assembled in the
Picture Gallery, at Holyrood-house. On the Union
Roll being called over, there appeared--

Earl of Kellie
Dr. Inglis, one of the Deans of the Chapel Royal, opened the
proceedings with prayer; after which Colin Mackenzie, Esq. read
the Royal Proclamation, dated from Carkon House, 25th May last,
to eleet a Peer in the room of William Marquis of Lothian, de-
ceased; and then produced the Commission to himself and Sir %Val-
ter Scott, Ban. from the Lord Clerk Register to act for him as his
Deputies. The Union RoU was then called, when a claim was of-
fered for the dormant Ilarquisate of Annandale', and admitted by
the Clerks, subject to all objections competent. The claimant then
took kis seat among tke Peers present, and voted for Lord Napier.
On the name of the Earl of Mar being called, Lord Nairn pre-
sented a Protest against the place in which the name of the Noble
Earl stands upon the Roll.
Sir Wavrea &Orr replied, that the name stood in the someplace
where they found it in the Union Roll.
The Protest was received, and entered on the Record.
When the name of Lord Elihauk was called, it seas stated that
his Lordship had sent a signed list, but being incorrect in point of
form, it could not be admitted.

The oaths of allegiance, adjuration, and assurance, were respec-
tively administered by Sir Walter Scott, and taken and signed by
the Peers present. The election then proceeded. when the total
number of votes for Lord Napier was found to be eighteen ; ♦iz.
six Peers present; the proxy for the Ear I of Mar, by Lord Nairn;
and eleven signed lists. William John, Lord Napier, was accord-
ingly declared to be duly elected ; and he was returned in the usual
form by the Clerks of &ssion, acting under the Commission from
the Lord Clerk Register.

Lord Na rims then returned thanks to the Peers for the honour
they had conferred on him. Ile would, he said, whenever he took
his seat among the Peers of the realm, in Parliament assembled,
make it his study to maintain the dignity and independence of the
Peerage of Scotland. Upon such an occasion, he would not, he
trusted, be considered as out of place, if he took the liberty to com-
pliment a Noble Baron on his appearance arming the Peers of Scot-
land, as the representative of an ancient and illustrious house.—He
also felt great satisfaction on seeing in the hand of that Nobleman, a
proxy from a venerable and much respected Noble relative of his
ow* The restoration of those titles he bailed with heartfelt satis-
faction—it was an act of grace on the part of our gracious Monarch,
dune with that Magnanimity which accompanied every act of his
reign...an act of justice to the representatives of those Noble fami-
lies, and of special favour to the whole people of Scotland. He
trusted those Noblemen who.had been restored, would long live to
erjriy their honours, and hand them down to the latest posterity.
Lord Name returned thanks to the gallant Lord, in his own
name, and in that of these Noblemen who had been restored to
their titles. His Lordship, however, spoke-in su low a tone as to
be heard only by those persons who happOned to be very near him.
Dr. GNAi ? closed the election with all appropriate prayer.
• Stewart Souter Johnstone, Esq. claims the title of Marquis of
Annandale, as being descended in a direct line from Sir Adam John-
stone, from whom the last Marquis was also descended.

COURT OF SESSION.
A question respecting the right of publishing the
E•dinburgh Philosophical Journal was, on Tuesday,
brought before the Court of Session. Most of our
readers know that Professor Jameson and Dr. Brewster
had been, till recently, joint conductors of the work.
A difference having arisen, the particulars of which are
net before the public, Dr. Brewster wished to continue,
as sole Editor, a new series of the Journal ; but Messrs.
Constable and Co. having resolved, as proprietors of the
work, to carry it on under the superintendence of Pro-
fessor Jameson, they applied for an interdict against Dr.
13rewster's publishing any continuation of the Philoso-
phical Journal. The Lord Ordinary, in respect that
the copy right of the Philosophical Journal was in
Messrs. Constable and Co. passed the bill, and con-
tinued the interdict. Dr. Brewster petitioned, stating
at the bar that his wish had been, after the Edinburgh
Encyclopedia was finished, to publish all he should
compose in the way of science, during his life, is the
Philosophical Journal; that it was a favourite project of
his; that the contributions of Dr. B.'s friends constituted
the Philosophical Journal, and that a half of the copy-
right at least was in him; and contending that neither
party ought to be interdicted ; that Messrs. Constable
and Co. might continue to publish the work, Professor
Jameson being Editor, while Dr. Brewster might also
continue the work, Dr. Brewster being Editor; and that'
in this way only could justice be done to both parties.
The Court withdrew the ratio as,igned by the Lord Or-
dinary, as settling the point as to copyright ; but they
adhered to the interlocutor in so far as it passed the bill,
and continued the interdict against Dr. Brewster.

POLITICAL ARITHMETIC.—We have to present our
Readers with a most interesting account (falling within our own
knowledge) of a poor artizan family, whose united earnings do
not, on an average, exceed three pounds a week, and yet they have
never had recourse to parochial assistance, although, as it will be seen,
extreme age and infancy are comprehended in the list. This family
consists of one great grandmother, two grandmothers, two fathers,
lour mothers, two husbands, two wives, two widows, ten children,
nine grandchildren, two great grandchildren, four brothers, two bro-
thers-in-law, six sistert, two mothers-in-law, three sisters-in-law,
one grand-uncle, two uncles, one grand aunt, three aunts, seven
cousins, nine second cousins, one grand nephew, four nephews, one
'rand niece, five nieces, one daughter-in-law, and one son-in-law
—eighty-nine; all living in three small apartments in Bethnal-green.
query—How many individuals ?

The following was yesterday posted at Lloyd's:
" VALTAIMISO, Fre. 23.—The Colombia, a Genoese ship, from
Gibraltar to this place, was taken by a privateer, and carried into
Chilue, but has been liberated, and she arrived here a few days
since. Several French and North American vessels are reported to i
have beer, captured to leeward; one of the French vessels is said to
be valued at 120,000 dollars, and to have been carried into Callao."
Friday morning, at six o'clock, three men confined at
Barking, in Essex, for capital offences, unironed, ef-
fected their escape from the House of Correction, by
forcing an opening between the bars which for security
form a covering over the outer area. Alarm having
been given, pursuit was immediately made, and two of
the felons were in the course of the morning ietaken—
one within the precincts of Barking, and tie other in a
ditch by the new road leading to London. The third
man is still at large.
Yesterday, during the funeral procession of the le-
inlins of Lord BYRON, a fine looking honest tar was ob-
served to walk near the hearse, uncovered, throughout
the morning ; and, on being asked by a stranger whe-
ther he formed any pai t of the funeral cortege? he re-
plied, that he came there to pay his respect to the de-
teased, with whom he had served for two years and a
half in the Levant, when he made his tour of the Gre-
cian Islands. This poor fellow was kindly offered a
place by some of the servants who were behind car-
riages, but he said he was strong, and bad rather walk
11:414 the hearse.

ASSAULT AND FALSE IMPRISONMENT.
THE KING V. BARTLETT AND GREEN.
This was a prose,Fution instituted at the instance of
a Mr. Leviss against the defendants, two of the Parochial
Officers of the parish of St. Giles, for an alleged most
brutal outrage on his person, on the 25th of October
last, and with falsely imprisoning him. This case ex-
cited very considerable interest, from the high character
the officers have borne in the parish for many years.
The facts of the case were, that on the day in ques-
tion, two women came to the Committee-room of the
Parish where the Board was sitting, and behaved in the
most outrageous manner, until the defendants were or-
dered to remove them. In doing this, Mr. Leviss came
up, and interfered. The result was, that the officers
took him into custody, and conveyed him to Marlbo-
rough-kreet, where Mr. Dyer ordered him to find bail,
and from what then took place, directed that he should
give twenty-four hours' notice of the same.
To prove the case, several persons were called by
Mr. ALLEY, on the part of the prosecutor.
Mr, ANDREWS, for the defendants, called a number of
most respectable inhabitants of the parish, amongst
whom was Mr. Biggs, the Assistant Overseer of the
Parish, whose evidence was diametrically opposite to
that of the witnesses in support of the prosecution.
The worthy CHAIRMAN summed up the evidence on
both sides, and tht Jury found a verdict for the plain-
tiff. The verdict was received with surprise in the Court.
The COURT sentenced them to pay a fine of 51. each.
ASSAULT.—Yesterday, Captain Edward Barber stood
indicted for committing an assault on the person of
Thomas Croft, a ivery-stable-keeper. The defendant
hired a stable of tlt! plaintiff, and left it when indebted
for three weeks' rent. The plaintiff went to the defen-
dant's new stables in New Burlington Mews, to ask for
the rent due to him ; he knocked at the door, and the
defendant said " Walk in r as soon as he had entered,
and asked for his rent, the defendant said to him," You
old scoundrel, if I catch you here again I'll horsewhip
you: you know you robbed my stable." The plaintiff
replied, that he was not to be frightened so easily, and
he wanted his rent; when the defendant got a bucket
filled with water, and threw it over the plaintiff, and
the plaintiff still continuing to dun him for the rent, re-
ceived the contents of a second bucket.

Mr. C. PHILLIPS contended this was an unprovoked
outrage: but upon the Captain offering to pay 51. to the
plaintiff, he did not wish to proceed further.
The Captain paid the money and was discharged.
