GLASGOW, Oct. 7.

The shameful system of intimidation, we are sorry to say, has
been revived in a cotton-mill in the Gothals, but we do not find
that it has extended farthet, and trust it will not. Tuesday night
a number of spinners who had struck, in consequence of some dig-
pute with the proprietor, attacked a party of the new hands on their
leaving their work, and disturbed the whole neighbourhood by their
cries and the throwing of stones. Two boys, Graham and Nally,
the former the son of the man who Was wounded in the back last
year with a shot by Kean, were obliged to take refuge in Sheriff
Moir's premises.—Wednewlay night the same violence was tesoned
to in a less degree; but last night the new wotlers, or Robs, as they
are called, having get armed, and being much pressed by their
pursuers, they fired two shot., but without hurting any person, the
one bullet having dropped from the pistol-mouth from the deficiency
of powder, and the other going through a shop window and striking
a wall. These proceedings must instantly be put a stop to.
We are extremely early to learn, from a respectable correspond-
ent, that an organised system of combination has been esta►fished
among the sailors at Greenock. A vessel which reached Greenock
from Glasgow on Sunday evening, bound to the Mediterranean, and
another which dropped down on Wednesday, were both of them
boarded by strong parties of combined seamen, who inquired into
the terms upon which the seamen sailed, and finding them lower
than what they prescribed, they would not allow them to sail.
There are no soldiers, we believe, quartered in Greenock at presenr,
but a few hours can carry a sufficient number from our garrison to
put down all opposition to the laws; and there are two brigs of war
on the station, which will instantly support those seamen who wish
o work for their bread.

We have reason to expect, says a correspondent, that
in an early Casette, a new Patent for the Commissioners of the Board
of Stamps in London will he announced; and that Mr. SEDIIII/ICI
Chairman, and Mr. Hatt.ax, willgo out, Mr. &Twain; late of the

Strwasm to be the new Chairman. The other Commissioners, Mr.

Anntiscrron, ice. to remain.—Dobfin Corntspondera.
Several of the columns which formed part of the Elgin
Marbles, and which, from their enormous size, could not be advan-
tageously exhibited, and from their want of ornament would have
excited little attention, have been moved from the British Museum
to the border of the Lake, at Virginia Water. Eight of these
fragments of antiquity, are so enormous, that one column required
the force of fourteen horses to convey it to its destination.
French Papers to the 7th, and the Et.ile of Saturday,
have been received. They now state, on the authority
of letters from Vienna, that instead of haviug taken the
oath to the Portuguese Charter, as it had been reported,
the Infant Don Miguel had eluded the act, by telling
his sister that he bad addressed his brother Don Pedro
in a direct manner with regard to his personal• claims
to the Regency during the prolonged absence or mino-
rity of the Sovereign, and that he should wait before he
adopted any decided step till he should know his bro-
ther's intentioas. He also said that he was anxious to
consult with his great protector, the Emperor of
Austria, by whose advice he should be guided, and
whose absence occasioned unavoidable delay. As ell
the Coons of the Continent have acknowledged the
Constitution and Regency of Portugal, the Emperor of
Austria will probably not venture to give any other
advice to the Royal Infant than that of instant sub-
mission. It is the only course which can befit him as
a man of sense and a patriot, both of which it is to be
hoped he has by this time become.
The Moniteur publishes the Treaty of amity, naviga-
tion, and commerce, concluded between France and the
Emperor of Brazil, and signed at Rio de Janeiro on the
18th of January, 1526. It also gives an Ordonnance
issued by the King on the 4th inst. to carry that Treaty
into full effect. The first article places Brazilian ves-
sels, in the ports of France, on the same footing with
respect to the payment of dues and the performance of
quarantine as French ships. The second makes the
produce of the soil and industry of Brazil, when im-
ported into France in Brazilian ships, pay no higher
duties than when brought in Brazilian vessels. The
third directs, that all vessels shall be considered Bra-
zilian, when belonging to Biazilian owners, and cow
manded by a native, whatever be the country of the
rest of the crew. The other articles merely reduce the
existing duties on Brazilian cottons of different kinds.
Several individuals who bad publicly sold portraits of Young l'Ia•
poleon at Lille, have been tried and condemned, some to ten and
.ome to fifteen days' imprisonment, together with lines of from 30
to 30 francs. There is no intelligence whatever front the Mona
hoe Papers, nor from any part of Greece.

THE TH EA TRES.
Rurß
.LAN
1) E.
?he Heir dt Law was performed on 'Saturday night,l
when Mr. EDWIN, from the Nottingham Theatre, made
his first apt earance in London, in the part of Mid
Homespun. He looked the character well, and played
with juJgrnent, vigour, and expression. As far as a
first appearance will justify an opinion, there is reason
to expect that he will prove a valuable acquisition in
the line of character for which he appears to be intende&
Mr. Hooraa was respectable in Dick Dotoitts. Dow-
-troN'a Lord. Puberty is admirably humourous and
natural. Mr. BURKE, who represented Sir Lucius
(tTrigger a few nights since, played Kenrick, and
:hewed himself equal to the part. Miss KELLY made
her first appearance this season, as Cicely Homespun,
and was received with those marks of approbation which
her distinguished excellence deserves.
ADELPHI THEATRE.
This favourite little Theatre opened for the winter on
Saturday, under the direction of Messrs. TERRY and
YATES, whose able managemeat last season called for
that approbation which was so deservedly shewn them.
The interior of the Theatre has been newly decorated,
and the orchestra enlarged. The national anthem of
4! GOD save the King" was sung with great effect by
the whole corps dramatigue, after which, an old friend
with two new *es made his appearance, o.the unques-
tionable shape of l he Pilot, whose attraction drew such
foil houses up to the close of the last season. The dif-
ferent chatacterk in this burletta remain as they were
ab origine, with the exception of the two heroines.—
Mrs. HUGHES, from Drury Lane Theatre, made her
first appearance on these boards, and sustained the part
of Katharine Plowden with great ability. A young
Lady made her first appearance on any stage as Cecilia
but, owing to her excessive timidity, we were unable
to form any estimate of her talent. Mr. T. I'. COOKE
resumed the character of Long a Tone Coffin, and was
received with great applause. A new ballet, by Mons.
}lows, entitled La Me des Rations, was warmly ap-
plauded. The different national dances were very well
executed by the Corps de Ballet, in which are enrolled
the Lilliputian ENGELLINA and MELANIE DUVAL, ft orn
the King's Theatre; and an Arabian pas de quatre by
Messrs. Knox and CHICHINI and Misses HENRY and
TAYLOR, was deservedly encored. An w comic bur-
letta, entitled Old Love and Young Love, closed the
'entertainments of the evening with eclat,being supported
by the fine and pleasing acting of TERRY, YATSS, and
WRENCH. The House was crowded in every part.
