SCOTLAND.

Sir James Anderson, Member for Dunfermline, has incurred the disappro- bation of his constituents. His chief offence seems to have been that he voted against Mr. Roebuck's Sebastopol motion. At a public meeting in Dunfermline, last week, he explained his conduct in Parliament, but failed to satisfy his hearers. A resolution of confidence was met by a counter- resolution, expressing regret that the conduct of Sir James in Parliament did not entitle him to the continued confidence of the electors. The counter-resolution was said to be carried "by a considerable majority " on a second show of hands, the first having been held to be doubtful.
