SCOTTISH ELECTIONS.

Mr. Hope Johnstone bas been again returned for Dumfries-shire, Mr.
Maule for Forfarshire. The Wigtonshire election eras terminated in fa-
vour of Sir A. A gr.ew by one vote ; MeCutlar Ft.rguson's seat for Kirk.
endbright is also to be undisturbed. .411 these are in favour of reform. Our
fears are stronger than our hopes for Ayrshire ; this guy's post will pro.
bahly enable us to state the result in our second edition. The conduct of
an miner's legal fitt,ctimary engaged in it seems to us to require separate
notice. It world appear, from what rested at the Dumfries county elec-
tion, that Mr. henis Douglas PUN the reform bill with rather siiffenn•
eyes now to C.as he did in the house of Commons. The contest be
tweets hint and General Sharp for the Dumfries-shire Loroughs is very
close, two and two, and the field of battle is at Lochnsaben. If we
may trust so appearance, tel will gain, whoever wins; but it is
perhaps not very safe to trust to" death.bed repentance.," of which the
present is very pnbably only another instance.
Dumbanon election went on Monday in favour of the eremy of re-
fonts. The Charm, Free Press says, 28 freeholders voted for Lord
W. M. Graham, and 23 for Mr. J. W. Colquhoun ; majority, 6.
The election of a Member of Parliament for the county of Linlithgow
took place at Linlithgow on Tuesday, when Sir Alexander Hope was
re-elected without opposition.
Anzaeorstio, 17TR.—The candidates for this county are Sir Michael
Bruce of Scotstown, a staunch reformer. and the Hon. Captain Gordon,
brother to the Earl of Aberdeen, a most decided anti-refortner. There
remains little doubt bow the election will go; the majority who voted
at the county meeting against the reform nieestre, will undoubtedly
support Captain Gordon. The supporters of both candidates intended
to Wile together after the election, but Captain Gordon, in order to
preserve the peace of the town, has recalled his invitations. The du-
appointment caused by this announcement of the gallant Captain is
quite wonderful. I should suppose it very mach resembles the OSITOV/
of Lhe citizens of London, when the King's visit. and consequently the
dinner, was put of/ Great interest Is excited by the election.

" For having, at Bangalore, on the 20th of August, 1830, wantonly,
and without provocation, struck Ensign William Hake, of the Hon.
East India Company's Service, and attached to the 39th Regiment of
Native Infantry, a violent blow in his face, with his clenched hand.
" For baling at the same time and place' though informed by En.
sign William Hake, that he was an officer, again violently struck him
in the face with his clenched hand, at the same time making use of the
most insulting language to him, the said Ensign Hake, by saying you
are not worth a damn • if you are worth a damn, you know where I
live, or words to that effect.

" The above being in breach of the articles of war."

SIGNOR PAOANINI'S indisposition will, we trust, ove-
rate as an example, and prevent other avaricious Eel-sons
from abusing public generosity in like manner. Pre-
ference, when given, ensures sufficient recompense
to merit, without a tax en curiosity. In this Me
but very few Boxes were taken ; and we know that
yesterday afternoon, places might be had in all the
best parts of the house. When extortion succeeds, as in
the case of the high price of the trash of Novels, it is when
the dupes are isolated ; but assemblies where the vax poptsli
prevails, seldom submit to any palpable imposition. If
Paganini announces a performance at the liberal current
price, he will still have overflowing audiences
The attempt at Northampton to confer votes on the mem-
bers of its Corporation, because the Body holds lands, in
the hope, that the narrow spirit of Corperators would
favour the Anti-Reformers, is the thousandth proof,
that one of the first acts of the New Parliament
should be to throw open all corporations ; and among others,
corporations which profess to have the guardianship of edu-
cations—for Mow indeed must be the march of knowledge
which depends on the spirit of a close corporation.
There is a letter in town from Warsaw, from an English
Physician, who speaks thus : " On my arrival in this city
with Mr. WEBB, and my other compeers, we were imme-
diately employed in the Grand Hospital ; and are kept
closely occupied, on account of the vast number of
sick and wounded. Here there are about fourteen
thousand persons in a very miserable condition ; and I regret
to add, that the Cholera Morbus has made deadly ravages.
I have only time to say, that a great number of the Russian
p.iaeners have joined the Standard of Liberty."
