SCOTLAND.

The mysteries of the Sidmouth dynasty are at last on the eve of being cleared up. Mr. Richmond has brought an action against the London publishers of Taies Magazine, for tut alleged libel contained in a review of Mr. Mackenzie's History of the Spy System, which ap- peared in that periodical. Mr. Tait, we rejoice to learn, is bold in his defence. Those who fear disclosures may buy off the action, but he will not. It is his intention, we are informed, to produce in the wit- ness-box every individual implirated in the proceedings of that period, from Lord Sidmouth down to Mr. Hardy. The sufferers are now, we fear, much scattered ; but we call upon every man who knows any thing about these dark machinations to intimate it either to Mr. Tait or to the editor of the Glasynu• Argus. If this opportunity be let slip, the silence of the grave must ere long, and for ever, brood over the secrets of the prison-bow:v.—Glasgow Argus.

Iii Dumbartonshire, the new hands were introduced into the different print-fields on Monday ; and owing to the excellent arrangements of the civil power, and the ample military force with which it is supported, every thing has been going on smoothly inside of the public. works ; but wheuever any of the new hands venture out, they are attacked with brutality and violence.—Glasgow Courier.
