The friends arid admirers-of Sir WALTER SCOTT,
of Abbitsfoid, Bart. in 'this town and neighbour-
hood, met here yesterday; to celebrate his accession .
to his new dignity. GEORGE CRAIG, Esq. was in the
Chair. The company, to the number of fifty-, sat
down to a most excellent dinner, in Mr. Scarfs
new Intl, Upon Sir WALTER'S health being drank
with enthusiasm, the following song, composed by
a Gentleman of the company, was sung •in great
style by Mr. A. 1.-ItsLor, to an enraptured audience,
highly delighted that their feelings should have been
embodied in verse on such an interesting occasion.
Under the mighty Minstrel's shac.!e, harmony hal-
lowed the evening's enjoyments.
The Thames, lung of Britain the glory and pride,
Must now yield to Scotland and lovely Tweedside;
For the harp lies unstrung in fair Twickenham's bow*,
And the ruses of Windsor have shed their last !bower !
The Muses, disgusted with bustle ar.d noise,
Have fled to fair Scotland's sweet pastoral joys; •
On the banks of the Yarrow their gambols are seen,
Where Hone leads the dance in the Wake of the Queer 1
But chiefly, 0 Tweed, on thy green grassy vale,
They love thy sweet breezes of health to inhale,
Where the Abbey of Mei; ose raises its head,
And Abbotsford rises the grace of th: Tweed !
All hail then, sweet hlinst:el, the pride of our cliane,
Whose song lifts the soul to fair Virtue sublime !
•
May the Muses, evraptur'd, long lighten this e hours,
• And en the mild ev'nirg of life shed their flowers !
To thee has the power and the blessing been given,
To lighten the Earth with the halo of Heaves !
To burst through the clouds of detnstion that rise,
And shine through the shades of the deepest disguise!
While Tweed shall roll on in her sylvan career,
Thy name shall be hunoar'd, and hallow'd thy bier ;
While the peasant shall point to thy turrets sc fair,
And say the great Minstrel, Sir WALT'S, dwelt there !'

L.4IV.4RK ELECTION.

THE LORD PROVOST OF GLASGOW, AND MR.
OWEN OF NEW LANARK.
Friday, March 31.
The whole of the inhabitants of this town having
unequivacally declared themselves in favour of Mr.
Owes:, and their Town Council having (by a majo-
rity of 13 against seven) chosen Mr. MoNTErrit as
their Delegate, all looked with anxious expecta-
tion to the events of to-day. Although the morning
was rainy, a considerable body of men, from Old
Lanark, went down with banners
,and music to Mr.
OwEN'S residence (Brasfield), and drew him and the
Linlithgow Delegate, and his friend, in a carriage,
up to the town. Lyon their reaching the Council-
room, which can contain but few persons, a general
exclamation of " Open Court"—" Freedom of Elec-
tion"--and " Adjourn to the Church !" came from
all parts of the crowd. In order that the business of
the day might proceed peaceably, the Delegates re-
moved to the Elder's seat, and the test of the Church
was filled by the inhabitants. Mr. OwEa's entrance
was greeted with loud applause, but Provost MON-
TEITH was received amidst groans and hisses.
When Mr. MONTEITH was declared duly elected,
the loudest disapprobation was testified. He at-
tempted to speak, but could not be heardb until Mr.
OWEN had obtained silence for him.
Mr. MiINTEITH then proceeded to thank the Gen-
tlemen who had supported him, for the high honour
which they had just conferred upon him—(Lt • ri
hissing)--an honour which any individual, whatever
be his rank, might justly feel proud of obtaining.
He assured them he should go into Parliament quite
free and independent—(Laughter and loud disappro-
