SCOTLAND.

A meeting was held in Edinburgh, at the Waterloo Rooms, on Thursday week, to set on foot a subscription for a monument, to Palmer. Muir, Gerrald, Skirving, and Margarot. It was most re- spectably attended, and resolutions passed in conformity with the de- clared object.

The Lords of the Treasury have directed Sir John Hill to proceed to the North of Scotland, and take such steps as may appear necessary in the urgency of the case for the immediate supply of seed-corn and potatoes. Officers and commanders of the revenue cruisers, and of the Coast Guard, are to afford him every aid and assistance.

Mr. Mackenzie, of Muirtown, is said to be sure of Hs return for Ross and Cromarty. We shall see.
