SCOTLAND.
The Giesaote Argus reckons the present registered Liberal majority in Glasgow at 665, and antiounces a gain of 18 votes on the Lanark- shire registrettion.
A party of three hundred Liberals, members of the Reform Asso- ciation, dined together at Aberdeen on Wednesday week. The speeches, which are reported at length in the Aberdeen Herald, were generally of a rather Whiggish cast. That of Mr. Adam, editor of the //era/d, was the most independent in its tone. Mr. Bannerman spoke like one anxious to avoid the most interesting political questions of the day. One of the applauded toasts, which gives a clue to the mongrel character of the party, was the following-
" Popular Education; the, health of Henry Lord Brougham ; and success to the present Ministry in their scheme for the advancement of education in Soot. land ; and mug they nerer cease, so long as they hold the helm of a Reform Pat liatneat, to tuntbard ado House If Lords with yowl utcastircs !" [For rejection?) A numetously attended Anti-Church meeting has been held at Ilamilton. This is one of the results of Dr. Chalmers'a crusade in the West of Scotland.
At a numerous meeting held last week in the Magdalen Yard, Dundee, the " working men of Forfarshire" appointed Mr. Burns, the choice of the majority of the Political Union, their delegate to the London Convention. A rival meeting, but thinly attended, was held at the same time, on the same ground—the booths being about a hon. drcd yards upurt—tet which Mr. Hunter was appointed; but his elec- tiun is considered null and void.
