LINCOLN.—The county of Lincoln met on Friday ; the High Sheriff in the chair. It was rumoured that Mr. Sibthorpe meant to lend his extraordinary countenance to the meeting ; but the Colonel, as he is called, remained at home ; and the disturbance which was anticipated from his appearance was thus happily averted. Essex.—The Sheriff has declined to call a meeting of the county; the county will meet without the Sheriff. 1Vho chooses these Sheriffs ? Were they purposely selected from the Tories, like the other official functionaries throughout the country ? ScoTcrt COUNTY MEETINGS.—The example set by the county of Lanark, has awakened public feeling in the other counties. Inverness met on Tuesday last week, and passed resolutions in favour of a Reform
in conformity to the late Bill. East Lothian is to meet on Friday next. We believe a desire exists in every county of Scotland to give a similar manifestation of opinion, and that it is repressed by the influence of those Tory Lord Lieutenants who use the power they derive from Go- vernment to frustrate the objects it is pursuing for the public good.— Scots/nun.
