SCOTLAND.

The Earl of Dalkeith was elected on Saturday, without opposition, as Member of Parliament for the county of Edinburgh. He explained the phrase used in his address, "large and liberal policy," by applying it to that course of policy which has been so beneficially pursued for the last ten years. He will be ready to repair the defects of our ancient institu- tions, but to uphold those institutious themselves ; to uphold and promote the principles of the Reformation and the Protestant religion ; education with religions teaching, freedom of conscience being preserved ; and to maintain a pacific policy,—but to be pacific in the end, attacks on our- selves must be firmly resisted, and our allies courageously supported.
