The Appeal Sheriffs of Stirlingsbire terminated their protracted and laborious sittings on Saturday, night ; and now, that the best and worst are known, we rejoice to say most favourably for the Liberal cause. We do not allude to the new claims, on which (thanks to their active and unscrupulous conveyancing) the Tories possess a small majority; but to the state of the old constituency, so far as that may affect the approaching Parliamentary inquiry. Of those who, at the last election, voted for Colonel Abercromby, two have been struck off the roll; though it is confidently believed by the legal advisers of the party, that one, or perhaps both, may yet be sustained by a Committee. On the other hand, five of those who voted for Mr. Forbes have shared the same fate. Taking matters as they stand,—two of Colonel Aber- eromby's votes and five of those for Mr. Forbes having been thus proved to have been bad,—tbere is a balance of three in favour of the former ; while, if we add to this the double vote of the immortal and immaculate Peter, and the misplaced miscounted vote of Mr. Bow, Colonel Abercromby will go into Committee with a clear majority of firm in his favour ; a start which it is highly improbable the most un- stinted use of cash or cunning will be able to make good in behalf of his distanced competitor. Such being the case, each Member of the Liberal party ought instantly to be on the alert, as nothing is now required beyond activity and the command of a good deal gf money to oust Mr. Forbes from a position which, bad the Liberals been true, firm, and united, he never could have occupicd.—.9colsman. [This is close work. Activity and a "good deal of money' will be required to oust Mr. Forbes; and it seems to be admitted that the result of the regis- tration, affecting a new election, is favourable to the Tories.'
