SCUTIIIVABr SLECTIO.W.

The contest so unexpectedly commenced in tKs
Borough, has as unexpectedly closed. Sir TitmeA‘:
'forms intimated this morning that he withdrew
from the field ; in consequence of which the High
Bailiff, Mr. Pa IN SEP, at twelve o'clock this day de-
clared MT. CALVERT and Sir ROBERT WILSON duly
elected. The declaration was hailed by a riumerous
assembLige of the Electors, with the most joyous
acclamations. Mr.CALveirt and Sir ROBERT WIL•
sox respectively returned thanks,
Mr. CA LIMIT said, it would always be his study
to act agreeably to the wishes of the Electors of
Southwark. His past conduct in Parliathent, which
had been approved by them, would be the model of
his conduct in. future. On all occasions when the
interest of his Constituents was concerned, he would
never act without first consulting them.
Sir Roberti. WiLsox congratulated the Electors
nn the result of this contest, which had proved that
they were Independent Electors. The high station
in which he was again placed, would only be an
additional stimulus to his exertions; and he trusted
that as his past conduct had met with their ap-
probation, so would his conduct in time to come.
He was glad to see that they had rescued this
rough from the disgrace of being half. Whig and ;4 Alf
Tory. The will of the Borough could now be pre.
cisely ascertained, and that will was decidecily in
favour of Reform. Sir Rousnr concluded a long
speech amid the loudest cheers.
The Chairing of these Gentlemen will take place
to-morrow. The final numbers on the roll were as
follow :

11r. Calvert - - 1264
Sir Robert Wilson - - 11 SS
3ir Thomas Turton - - 458

GLASGOW, MARCH 7.

The alarm which lately prevailed respecting the
attempts and the numbers of the Radicals has so
completely subsided, that the silver coin is now, like
the copper, circulating in greater abundance than is
required for change. Two young men were appre-
hended yesterday on suspicion of having connection
with the Radicals, and having pikes in their posses-
sion. They were brought from Calton; and it is
pleasant to be able to state that, on examination,
nothing improper appea • 1 against them. A num-
ber of the Radicals, formerly seized, are to be ad-
mitted to bail to-day. Robert Smith was apprehended
in Calton yesterday. A pike handle, ready for the re-
ception of the head, as well as an old musket, loaded,
were found in his loom shop. A happy Radical,
Mani cable, was apprehended this morning, in Old
tennal, and lodged in the Police Office. On mount-
ing the stair, he turned to his mother, who had fol-
lowed him and was crying bitterly, and, after a few
consolatory sentences, exultingly raised his voice and
assured her, that " the cause he was suffering for
was a glorious one." A man was yesterday prose-
cuted before the Magistrates for hooting and insult-
ing the military guard stationed at the gaol on Sun-
day last, and punished by fine and imprisonment.
If this practice is continued it may lead to the most
painful results. It is usually commenced by a set of
pitiful, cowardly wretches, who escape on the least
appearance of danger, and leave the less guilty to
all the punishment.
