PRESENT ZABOIIRS OF ADMINIS TRATION AND THEIR FRIENDS. Lord B—NW—a is actively employed in Stirling Castle in the herculean task of adapting to English ears the vernacular dialect of the L... 13 AD —vs of Scotland Said Mr. The arraugeaseut was, it is said, made at the close of the last Session, in consequence of the oratorical propensities of these Gentlemen, and the necessity of cultivating their style for a southern audience, consequence of the pertinacious adherence of Lord A. HAMILTON to a retrospect of Scotch poli tics. It is said in the ministerial circles that it was found difficult to effect this arrangement between Lord B. and his pupils; the former, though not u bashful man, thought the task was hopeless. Mr. B—oas B—TM—T reminded the Noble Lord of the triumph of DSMOSTWENES, by simple means, over even a 'sitarsl iospediusent, and referred with exultation to the fascinating perfection of Mutt- RAT'S oratory, by a proper course of practical study, when he became Lord Mausetat.n. In vain did Lord 8..-4111—a urge that he was not Neptune. or his intended pupils "Merrays ;" his scruples were, however, overruled, and lie at length consented to undertake the task, and the garrisou of Stirling Castle was permitted to retire with all the honours of war, to make way for the new drum-major. A dif ficulty was now started, when it was least expected. On the arrival of Lord B—u w—a at the Castle, he required, as a sine lima now, a strict adherence to precedent. He informed his pupils that the prece dents of DENosestaxes and MUSRAT had been urged by Mr. when lie undertook his present task, and though inapplicable in mine re epee's, they were yet worthy of notice in others. lie the case of DIMOSTNSWES, as he was informed by Lord ABSIDSEN. tit.. orator dial tint gas an re peat set speeches by the water's side, he merely went to run over and bring into pleas. the 44 gamin" of his voice (to use a musician's tt.,.m). He there fore required neither notes nor manuscripts. In Muitaaw's case, the first thing dose by that great orator was to exclude from his library all work. in the idiom of the Scottish langnagr, lest he might occasionally fall into the use of that national dia. lect, which it was at the time both his taste and interest to forget. The Noble Lord therefore urged as a preliminary step, that the lahr aries of the L—D AD --TS and Mr. K. F—n—T should be purged of all Scottish works. The L—o All-...-• 411 had no objection, provided he could re tain, merely for refreshing his political recollection, and qualifying himself for the better discharge of his professional pursuits. the printed reports of the trials of Nair, Skirviag, and lfargatot. Fysche Palmer, sod Lam aud Baird; and Mr. IE— F—NIr merely asked the indulgence of retailing an old edition of ALLAN RAMSAY'S Gristle Shep herd, as the country around him was so pregnant with pastoral recollections. These reservations were firmly resisted. The first, on the ground that the precedents were not the most inviting, and the language of the libels. if studied, quite subver sive of the proposed dialectical improvement; and the second, because of the two lines in the fourth scene, which Reformers might apply to the subversion of Scotch Burghs— 6 Such oarless hesitates of a eovalsonwealth. Shoold be lope of, to gie a State weir health." The latter has consented to commute his condition for • copy of the old ballad of Chevy Chas., and the former, after considerable difficulty, has agreed to • temporary exchange of the Scottish trials for those of Watson, Thistiewood. and Co.—these containing enough of useful precedent, couched in the unobjectionable medium of the plain Eng lish language. The last accounts were most fa vourable of the progress of the orators—the fine air on the Castle-hill has had the best physical effect. Sir G—a Wx—a is training a white rat, of the original Norway breed, u a present for Bsematerts, King of Sweden. It is already taught to dance with exquisite skill, and when its proficiency shall be complete, it will be soot to its destination as soon as the worthy Baronet can escape from his professional labours and accom pany his trust. Sir Nif—st Sc--.T, according to the duty imposed upon him. has pointed out the following text, for • sermon to be preached before the Commissioners to inquire into the abuses in charitable trusts— He that dueth these things shell never be wowed." Psalm so. s.—Tile construction of the Commis sion gives every hope that the text will be adhered to. The learned Civilian has also, at the request of the Ca—Lt.-11 of the Ex-QU—x sod Mr. W— OKR—ce, given out the following text, for a ser mon to be preached by Lord CAS.--1111—.11's Chaplain at the opening of Congress; but, it is said. the Noble Lord thinks it would be giving a new jeohtre to his mission. The text is from Peter, ii. 19.—" While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the ser vants of corruption." As General TUOIIIIITOII is not expected to sit in the nest Parliament, Ministers do not mean to repeal any of the Test Laws; and we fear that Mr. LOCKHART'S rejection at Oxford will prevent his intended alteration in the Acts for the relief of Insolvent Debtors. The amendment, if report be true, was simple. It wee the substitution of the Italian for the English plan. In the town-hall of Padua is a stone called Lapis Vitsperii. on which any debtor who swears himself not worth Sl. is thrice seated by bailiffs in an uncovered and rathe► cool posture, he is then released from all further claim. It is recorded. that for four-and-twenty years together no debtor would incur this ordeal. It was the intention of M►. LOCKHART to abrogate all our existing insolvent laws. and erect the Madden ordeal in Westminster. Hall. the place being admi. rably suited to the cool proem of the ceremony.— It is to be hoped that the Hon. Gentleman's hint will not be lost to Parliament and society. MANCHESTER COTTON SPINNERS. The reign of disorder is not over. The refrac tory spinners have, during the last week, pro ceeded to even greater acts of violence iii mil treating the few operative spinners who continu ed to exert themselves for the maintenance of their families, titan they hid evinced in the preceding weeks. The industrious have been beset on their way to the mills. and personally injuied, and the peace officers, who have been called oa for their pro tection, have been insulted, and, inineny instances, personally assailed with stones and other missiles; and to such a 1-neth did the outrage extend, that the Magistrates were twice obliged to read the Riot Act. before the tumults could hr quelled. Amidst these disorders, there was ass evidently organised method. The assailants of the spinners, who are content to work at the ',norm rates, were seceder. from other Mills than those where she attacked are employed ; and a crowd of women and children were mode the settee agents in the attack on the muni cipality and military, both of whom evinced mach praise-worthy forbearance, from the recollection that she issfuriated creatures were tint aware of the crime they were commiitmg tender the directiou of the maeter-spiriis w'.o urged them forward. Tit. , something tuore than meets the eye was me ditated by she cootrivers of the disturbances amongst the working classes of society, becomes every day more and more evident.- The " General Meeting of Trades," noticed to our lest week's Paper, where it was resolved. that the eombitied work-people of all trades should support each particular trade when the workmen employed in it may think proper to demand additional wages. or insist upon any new regulation or mice's from their employers, fur .isshrs proof. The turn-nnt of the colliers, and the threatened turn-out of the weavers (publicly avowed by printed placards. in which they theist ou an ad. Villee of seven 'dialings in the pound upon their Present prices, without any exception of those artwlev for which. within the last two years, from thirty to forty per cent. his beets advanced to the weaver), are additional proofs of the active agency of an influence pregnautt with mischief and ruin. An increase of income is a tempting hail to every men ; and it is not every one who can apply the fable of the goose which Mid golden egg*. The consequent operation of mooten•ly i ii • corn market is pretty generally understood, and as uui. venally deprecateie Yet muc h as mouo p„tig er , have been blamed for their conduct, we newt,' heard of one who, when he insisted upon having a certain price for the article he possessed. used violence to prevent other person% from supplying the market at a more moderate rate. If such were his conduct, what would be the general 11111111011 of such a 'tan Yet such, we are sorry to add, has been the conduct of those persona, who will not allow the peaceable progress of the men who are content with their present earning'. We, however, begin to see ail opening to more peaceable pursuits by the industrious ; for on Sa turday last the executive committee of the turn out spinners, consisting of five persons. were taken into custody, along with a box of papers, which tend to throw much light upon this most interest ing subject; and after a long and patient reran. nation before the Magistrates, assisted by a learned Courted. the whole were, on a charge of conspi racy. held in hail of two sureties, in 1001. each; which not being forthcoming, they were, of course, committed till the Quarter Sessions. Till then, it would be improper to detail the particulars of the charges against them. This strong, but necessary measure. we hope will not only operate as a salutary chuck to the ill-ad vised men who have so long remained out of em ploytneot, and who have also prevented so many thousands of women and children, whose work de pends upon them. from earning a anaintenance, will not oily induce them to think of the sacrifice they have made and are making s but also be a swain to the colliers who have followed their example, and are now out of employment, sod to the weavers, whose placards announce their determination to weave sin more. except on the indiscriminate ad vance of 33 per cent. for their work, though the existing disparity of prices paid for weaving diffe rent goods. in consequence of a greater or less de mand for them in the market, is, in very many in. stances, much greater than their required advance upon every deecription. without regard to present prices.—(Manelterter Herald, Sept. 1.) This day the Hon. GEE. ANION will make his entry intoYa►mouth. His friends, with the utmost alacri►y and enthusiasm, have agreed to meet him, and he will he drawn into the town amidst the joyful acclamat►ons of his party, which, so far from being depressed by the persecutions excited by the late poll, has added greatly to its numbers and its vigour.
