SCOTLAND.
A dinner given to Mr. Cobbett, in the Black Bull, Glasgow, .oix Monday last, was attended by one hundred and thirty persons; Alm Hamilton of Dalzell in the chair. Mr. Douglas of Barloch, one of the candidates for the city, after a warm and most deserved eulogium on the character of the late Lord Archibald Hamilton,—a sound-hearted Isla zealous Reformer in the worst times,—proposed the erection of also- nument to the memory of that nobleman. The proposal was receive& with the readiness of approbation it merited, and a committee to carry it into effect instantly formed. Mr. Douglas deserves thanks for his suggestion. The strenuous endeavours of Lord Archibald, and we may add, of his worthy coadjutor Sir Ronald Ferguson, were important agents in promoting in Scotland that spirit of general Reform, which Sir Ronald, more fortunate in this than the illustrious deceased, has lived to witness.
