SCOTLAND.

At a meeting of the Universal Suffrage Association in Glasgow, last week, it was recommended to the Mimicipal electors not to take any part in the ensuing election of Town. Councillors, as the Whigs declined to support the Radical candidates on the fair condition that the Radicals should support Whigs. If this resolutiun is genei-ally acted on by the Radicals, we suppose that the Tories will carry their men.

On Thursday last week, a storm of wind, with snow, sleet, and rain, made dreadful havoc in the North. At Aberdeen, trees and chimnies were blown down. The coaches could with difficulty get along the road through the corn sheaves, which had been carried from the fields. At Bervie, the " slates and stones were flying like chaff ;" windows were broken ii), and gates and railings curried away. The chain-bridge over the Esk, at Montrose, was taken by a current of wind, lifted up, and broken in the centre, one-half fulling into the water, the other hanging by the chains. Considerable damage was done to the shipping on the coast, the extent of which is not yet ascer- tained. The gale is said to have been the most violent with which the Northern coast has been visited fer many years.
