SCOTLAND.
On Monday sennight, the three prisoners, Kemp, Cleghorn, and Nelson, sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment, for forcing the door of the Sheriff Court-room at Haddington, Scotland, and setting at liberty Maelauchlin and others, in May last year, were discharged, after having been one year under lock and key. Their pardon came from the Crown agent, As soon as its arrival was announced, the burgh was in a general commotion, and in a few minutes hundreds were ready to welcome them from their den ; and no sooner did they make their ap- pearance, than they were hoisted on men's shoulders and carried to their respective houses.—Caledonian Mercury.
We understand that grouse are exceedingly abundant in the Perth- shire Highlands this season, and also that black game and partridges are as numerous as ever seen. As for bares, complaints are heard in every place from the farmers, of the destruction occasioned by them.— Duniffies Courier.
