SCOTLAND.

Mr. Henry Cockburn, Solicitor-General for Scotland, has been unanimously re-elected Lord Rector of Glasgow University for the en- suing year.
A preliminary meeting was held in Edinburgh on Monday, at which it was resolved to call a public meeting of those who disapprove of the warlike proceedings against Holland, for the purpose of expressing their opinion in the manner of an address to the King. We are fully aware that there are many men of all parties who deprecate this war; but, as we lately observed, such persons ought to have held their meetings and made their remonstrance long ago, when these might have availed in averting the war ; which certainly has not come upon us by surprise, and which cannot now be prevented by such demonstrations. The meeting is to take place on Thursday.—Edinburgh Observer of Tuesday.
