THE SCOTCH RerOnll BIT.T,.—There are twenty-one notices of motions tespecting
this Bill ; contrary, however, to what took place in respect of the English Bill, all of them, three excepted, are motions for exten- sion. The exceptions are—Major Bar ca s motion for taking the votes in burghs by the majority in each burgh, not by the majority of the whole; Sir WILLIAM RAE'S, for regulating the qualification in counties by the valued rent ; and a marvellously absurd one of Mr. A. JOHN- STONE, for disqualifying clergymen from voting. The Bill is to be fur- ther considered on Monday.
