ELECTIONS IN SCOTLAND.
GLORIOUS CONSERVATIVE TRIUMPHS !!

(From the Scottish Standard.)
drit of reaction, so nobly exemplified in London and
English towns, has extended in good earnest to the
f Scotland. We have now to record what must be
as, perhaps, the two most signal triumphs con-
has yet achieved in the United Kingdom. The
)n and Falkirk burgh 4 have been wrested from the
and hateful thraldom in which they have so long
)y the Whigs and radicals. Mr. Balfour and Mr.
two conservative candidates, have been returned,
yhig-radical members, Messrs. Steuart
This is a gain of four votes to the
e party, and affords a glorious example to the

:ncies of Scotland.
1, Argyllshire, Dumbartonshire, will be with-
, ! Ten additional votes to Sir Robert Peel from
and the elections scarcely commenced!! Rox-
hire, it appears, is to be contested—a most despicable
lisgraceful attempt, which will, of course, end in the
failure of its contrivers. This will make twelve votes;
vith equal confidence, we reckon upon Stirlingshire to
make fourteen votes!

nburgh, Leith, Dundee, Perth, Stirling, and St.
e whips, it must be confessed, have done wonders
kept their ground! Mr. Aytoun, however, all-
big lord of the Admiralty, Lord Dalmeny's
majority being only nine! This is a sorry triumph. In
Dundee, too, the anti-corn-law league, the main authors of
all this agitation, have sustained a moat ignominious defeat
in the rejection of their president, a canting millowner,
namad J. B. Smith ; a plain merchant of the place, Mr.
Duncan, who is a tory at heart, as everybody knows, having
been.earried by a large majority. We make the Whig minis-
come to this triumph also. .
