The sudden death of Mr. F. W. Grant, :M.P. for Inverness-shire, was mentioned in our Postscript last week. A Tory paper of the county alludes to his probable successor-
" The county of Inverness is decidedly and most thoroughly Conservative, and we trust it will not be misrepresented. We hear that air. Grant of Glen- morriston, or Mr. Grant younger, of Ballindalloch, is to stand on the Liberal interest ; and we beg it to be recollected that both of these gcntlemen recently presided as chairmen of meetings held for the purpose of condemning the recent proceedings of the Church—the one at Forces, and the other at Inverness. We are authorized to state that a Conservative will appear in a few days, who will give ample satisfaction to dap friends of the Church in the present critical conjuneture."—Incerness Herald.
Mr. David Dundas, the English barrister, has published an address to the electors of Satherlandshire, on the understanding that Mr. Howard, the present Tory Member, is about to retire from Parliament. Mr. Dundas is a well-known Reformer, and will, if returned, give "his cordial support to the present Govi:rnment."—Ghtsgwv Chrunadc.
