GLAsoow.—During the two election days,- everything was
conducted with comparative decorum, and, with the exception
of 80111 - slight attempts at disturbance on Wednesday, by. .a
handful of paltry fellows, who, were. instantly put down by the
coustatrilary and police, there never Wassa popular election got
over more peaceably; and the maurier in which the whole body
ofthe citizens deported themselves was so exceedingly creditable
to them, when we compare it with the . excesses that have fre-
Aitently been indulged in in some small surrounding places,
that we cannot help (r bein proud of the behaviour of our towns-
men. , The state, of the was issued every hour for the satiS-
'faction or the curious, and A the Close of Tuesday the numbers
stood thusl—

. It will be, recollected that the registered constituencret the
city-was 7024; -so -that' the -differeiii.'ebetavixt 12287 and 141)18
votes, falls to be made up by the plumpers, deaths, infirmities,
removals, &c. With regard to Mr. Dixon, the gentleman who
`stands lowest on the poll, we feel it to be our duty-to state that
we have heard a very general, nay, an almost universal expres-
sion of regret, that after his good services he should have beds
passed over; and the only. excuse advanced for not placing him
again in his former situation,, is,_ that he did not apply in time,
and not till, after many pledges had been given which could not
be recalled. Certainly .ffr. Dixon, in the course of his canvass
and most sensible public
_addresses, made a very favourable
impression on his hearers, and convinced them of his .perfect
fitness to be- one of -their reprcsentatives.—At. half-past four
o'clock on Wednesday:afternoon the conclusion of the poll was
announced (not officially) in the Tradee -Hall, in-presence of
a crowded 'audience; who received.the announcement with loud
applause; after -which three cheers were given tolthe'Lord-Pro-
vost, three to. Mr. Denniltoun, and three 'to'Sir Daniel Sand-
ford, when the meeting broke up in great good humour. It is
understood -that the sheriff will declare the result of the poll
some time_?to-day; but there is to be no public exhibition•either
on the part of the sheriff' or the cancLidates. We have hid
enough of speechifying and public -demonstrations.L—Giasgoio
