The Radical portion of Mr. Gillon's constituents at Hamilton and
Falkirk refuse their future support to that gentleman, on :tumult of his objection to vote for Universal Suffrage. At two recent meetings. they passed votes of "want of confidence" in their Member. Perhaps the canny folk suspect that all is not right with Mr. Gillum. from the cir- cumstance of his being selected to propose an addition to the income of the Duke of Sussex, already between 20,000/. and 30,000/ a year. There is no natural connexion between Mr. Gillon and Royalty a and any thing like officiousness in adding to the cost of the Royal family, is out of place in the Representative of a Scotch Burgh constituency. Workmen have been busy during the last summer and autumn in building a wing to Teignmouth Castle, the magnificent seat of the Marquis of Breadalbane, to correspond with that on the east side, which formed part of the original building. It is generally understood that the cause of the completion of the building, at the present time is to be referred to no less than an expected visit of Royalty. Rumour says that it is fixed, so far at least as such movements can be so, that our young Queen is to visit her ancient kingdom of Scotland next s ear and in the list of noblemen's residences to he honoured by her presence, Taymouth Castle occupies a distinguished place.—Perth Courier.
