SCOTLAND.

The Senatus of King's College, Aberdeen, have unanimously reelected the Earl of Ellesmere as Lord Rector of the University.

In our Scottish news last week, we gave from the Scottish papers an extract imputing the blunder whereby Cnmmings the Chartist escaped on his trial, to the subordiate officials of the Lord-Advocate. We are in- formed that this expression would be inaccurate, as implying the profes- sional subordinates of the Lord-Advocate. Instructions by counsel are still extant which direct that the arrested Cummings should be identified with the Cummings who presided at the meeting of the National Guard. The two Cummingses "ace very like each other, and the police were Mis- taken in their identification."
