REGALIA or SCOTLAND.—WO understand that his
Majesty has been graciously pleased to transmit to Scotland
for the purpose of being deposited along with the regalia,
in the Crown-room of the Castle, a beautiful massive golden
collar of the Garter, with rose diamond and enamelled
George, left to his Majesty King George IV. by the de-
ceased Cardinal York ; and an ancient rose diamond
badge of St. Andrew, and sapphire ring set round wit h
brilliants, being Charles the First's Coronation Ring.—
The former of these jewels (which weighs about three
pounds) was presented to King James VI. by his Queen,
and worn by that Monarch. These articles were presented
on Saturday last by Sir Adam Ferguson, Deputy Keeper of
the Regalia, to whom his Majesty was pleased to entrust
these valuable relics when lately in London, to the Lord
Advocate and Lord Justice Clerk, being a quorum of the
Officers of State of Scotland, in presence of several wit-
nesses, and were by them deposited in the Crown-room,
along with the ancient Regalia of this kingdom.— Caledo-

The Horticultural Society, at their last Meeting in Re-
gent-street, on Tuesday, exhibited twenty-seven different
varieties of apples, and ten varieties of pears, all of them grown
in their gardens at Chiswick.

The late proceedings at Ashton-under-Line have created
great sensation in Lancashire. It has been deter; iuc,l at a
meeting of the delegates appointed by the spinners ir, the dif-
ferent parts of the country, that a general strike shall take
place on Monday, the 27th instant, of all spinners, who are
receiving less than 4s. 2d. per 1,000 banks for No. 40's, on
all sizes of wheels, and other numbers in proportion; and
the resolution adds, " that not one of such spinners shall
return to work until the full price be given."
The resolution of the delegates is evidently intended to
imply that the wages of the spinners shall be 4s. 2d. per
thousand banks, without any deductions; and therefore a
general turn-out will, no doubt, take place, as that rate
of wages is higher than is paid even in Manchester,
where the masters, from their contiguity to the market, can
afford (and have always given) higher wages than those re-
siding at a distance from Manchester. The price generally
paid is from 3s. 6d. to 3s. 9d. the latter is the rate of wages
offered by the masters at Ashton and the neighbourhood, and
which their men have rejected.
Avant's OPERA OP " Ls Mau ET LA BATADORI.
This long-expected opera has at length been produced at
the Acad‘mie de Music, and met with signal success. The
hero of the piece is the Brama of the Indian mythology ; the
heroine is a young French girl, who, from ignorance of the
Hindoo. is forced to be silent throughout the whole of the
piece. The plot is very simple. An old judge has fallen in
love with Toloe, a charming Bayadore, who does not re-
turn his passion. The judge, in the capriciousness of power,
sentences a youthful, agreeable stranger, in whose fate
Toles takes so deep an intim', that, to save his life, she
consents to become the mistrers of the dotard Judge.
At this juncture a proclamation arrives from the Vizier,
offering a large reward for the bud of a certain stranger, and
denouncing death to all who shelter him. Toloe conceals
the stranger, and is about to suffer death for his protection,
when be reveals himself as the great Brame, and confers
on her the blessing of immortality. The story, it will be
perceived, is not strictly natural; but the performance was
exquisite, and the success was complete.
