The following are the results of the proceedings in several
of the Scotch Registration Courts.
In Stirlingshire the Reformers have established a majority of O. At the last election, Mr. Forbes defeated Admiral Fleming by a majority of 22 only-. In Clackmannan and Kirross Counties 112 votes have been added to the Liberals, and 60 to the Tories.
In Caithness-shire we are right glad to learn that Mr. Sinclair's sup- porters tire in a minority. The Liberals have registered twice as many new votes as the Trimmer.
In Inverness-shire the Tories maintain their advantage ; but in the borough of Inverness the Liberals have added so much to their strength as will surely enable them to displace Cumming Bruce; whose majority over 'Mr. Ellice was only four at the last election. In Selkirkshire the majority of new votes in favour of the Liberals is (iS to 12. At the last election, Mr. A. Pringle, the sitting Tory Member, bed a majority of 31. his seat is therefore very insecure.
The majority of the Liberals int Forfarshire will be increased by about 50 votes by the new registration. Dr. Bowring visited his constituents at Kilmarnock, on the 18th instant.
The houses in Fenwick were decorated with flags, and the inhabitants turned out in crowds to cheer him as he passed. A short distance from Een- wick, a procession came up from Kilmarnock with flags and music.. On reaching the George Inn, the honourable Member was met by his Committee, and walked to the Town-hall, where the Magistrates were in waiting, and from the balcony addressed the immense crowd in front explanatory of his Par- liamentary condrict, and was presented with an address, approving of his pro- ceedings. Thereafter it was moved and carried by acclamation, that he.slioulti be requested to continue his services as their Member. A soiri,e was given in the evening.
Mr. Colin Dunlop, M.P. for Glasgow, has accepted the Steward- ship of the Chiltern Hundreds, so that a new writ may be moved for the first day of the ensuing session.
