SCOTLAND.
Lord Kelburne is the Tory candidate for Ayrshire. Bailie Craig, of Kilmarnock, a Chartist, also offers himself to the electors—of course without the remotest chance of success. No Whig has yet appeared; Mr. Campbell of Craigie having demurred to the expense of an elec- tion which may not secure a seat for a month, to serve a Ministry which is manifestly tumbling to pieces. [This was written yesterday ; but we learn from the Ayr Yeldvertiser received this evening, that Mr. Campbell has at last been prevailed upon to conic forward as the Whig candidate.] We have heard it very confidently stated that Lord Corehouse has re- signed his seat on the bench, on account of bad health ; and, probably in consequence of this resignation, the Solicitor-General left Edinburgh on Thursday, for London.—Edinburgh Courant.
