OUTRAGE IN SCOTLAND.

It is with much regret that we are again obliged to no-
tice the lawless operations of certain persons supposed to be
combined cotton-spinners. The threats made that all the
new workmen would be rooted out during the ensuing wine
ter, are attempted to be put in execution with all the
former malignity. Bell, who so fearlessly appeared against
Kean, has, by repeated acts of intimidation, been forced to
quit his employment, and has been wandering about idle
for some time. There have of late heen sefi,:ral cases of
assault upon the workmen termed " Nobs," in Messrs.
Dunlop's mill. Since the mill commenced lighting last
week, a crowd of several hundreds have every night lain
in wait for the new hands, at the entrance to the work, and
as soon as they appear (for safety they prudently come out
in a body), a general huzza is got up, and a cry is raised
—" There's the Nobs coming out." Brick-bats, stones,
and mud are then hurled at them from all sides, and,
from the darkness, their assailants are not easily identified.
When they reach Clyde-street, matters getsworse. Nina-
hers whoare lurking in the closses join in the molestation,
and they are insulted with the most opprobrious epithets,
and pelted up the street. On Wednesday and Thursday
nights affairs assumed a more serious aspect. The workers
on their way were so pressed that they were divided from
each other, and then they were stoned, and forced to take
shelter In the first openings. Some who found refuge in
the Police Office had been very ill-used, and made grievous
complaints that they were not protected in following th,:ir
lawful employment. A married woman, who works in
the mill, was dreadfully agitated from the brutal ustre she
had received. She was repeatedly knocked down, and her
clothes were covered with mud. She was unable to go to
work next morning. Writ. Graham, son of the wounded
man, was particularly hooted and maltrer.ced. Another
spinner was cut on the face with a stone, and they have all
received injuries on the body. Some of the crowd were ob-
served to take stones out of their pockets, and throw them.
For some time past every method has been 'ttied to irritate
the new hands to make them commit breaches of the peace,
and thus bring them under public odium ; but this hav-
ing failed, assault has been resorted to. Two persons who
have been actively concerned ih these acts of intimidation
are to be tried in the Calton Police Court. It is absolutely
necessary to appoint a guard to protect the worker. from the
mill till they reach their homes.—Gfaxgow Chronicle.

The Room was crowded this afternoon, but the business was
not very extensive, consisting chietiy in book-squaring. With the
exception of Redgauntlet and Homer, scarcely any alteration has
taken place, the termer, it will be perceived, has (ell back a little,

ROWING

—rem—
Hangerfoid-stairs yesterday became the scene or mirth, In con •
sequence of a rowing-metch for a new wherry, given by the
ladies and gentlemen of the parish of St. I'llartin-in.the-Fields.
The whole line of barges down the shore was completely throng-
ed, and every avenue that command;:d a view of the scene was oc-
cupied long before the time of starting. St. Martin's bells ring a
merry peal on the occasion.
The dlstance to berowed iras as follows :—To start front buoys
off Hungerford stairs, row round a boat moored oft the Speaker's
house, down again round the Thames Police vessel off Strand lane.
up again to, and round the boat off the Speaker's house, down
again round the l'olize vessel, and up to the prize-wherry off Hun-
gerford.
F;RST IiTAT.—At two o'clock the following men :ook their
stations off Hungerford, viz.—

Scat let—John Parry sod James Fagen.
Yellow—Thomas liunford and James Davis.
Blue—Thomas Yoking and Wilson Emery.
White—John Brand and James Jones..
In a few minutes the signal gun tired. Blue took the lead and
slowly passed by Yellow anti Scarlet; White followed-and at
Waterloo-bridge the boats were within a fel yenta of each
other. On coming up, Bins took rather an advanced position ;
but SCarlet and White. seemed bent ou keeping them at work.
However, by some mistake, Scarlet and li'hite fouled on rounding
Waterloo-bridge ; and neither being inclined to give way, Yellow
anti 131ue shot s-head, and came in first and second some distance
a:head.

John Reynolds and George Butcher, Orange.
At starting, Orange got the lead, followed by Pink and Blatt.
closely pressing on them. This was perhaps as good a match se
has been witnessed during the summer. Orange and Pink put
every nerve to work to get in first. In fact, they kept on est.h
other's quarter the whole of the distance, and came in &It and
second.

GRAND LINAT.--Shottly after five o'clock the sifal gun fired;
and the following boats, ()range, Pink, Blue, an Yellow, went
off to their moorings. In this instance the competitors had to row
from the buoys down ?bond the Police vessel, up to the boat oti'
the Speaker's house, down again round the Policy vessel, up again,
and down to the prize wherry. At starting Pink seemed rathm to
have the advanytge, but Blue and Orange soon got forward. and
the contest ROW excited the most intense interest. • Betting ran very
high, and Orange was the favourite on board the accommodatiott
barges. Blue, hOwever, was not without her friends, and very
considerable sums changed hands. On coming up, the last heat.
Orange was about tour boats' length a•head, and maintained het
distance until she reached the prize. The successful competitorl
jumped into her, and were carried on shore by their fellowswater.
