The election of Town-Councillors for Elitthoreh took place on Tuesday. As i was known that the result of these would determine the issue of the contest b:aween Sir James Forrest and Mr. Adam Black for the Mike of Lord Provost. the Foe:or-dings were more animated than on ony previous occasion. Six of the Councillors elected were understood to be for Mr. Black, four for Sir James Forrest, and two for Mr. Drysdale. The nominati :11 of Mr. Drysdale, however, was doubt- ful ; and it was supposed that his :lien Is would name Sir James Forrest. It appears from the calculations of the IV, (the latest Edin-
