His Majesty's birth day was celebrated at Edinburgh by a grand military field slay —" The troops afterwards marched to their several private parades to lie dismissed ; acid the Royal Edinburgh Volunteers proceeded down the High Street. and along the North Bridge to the Lord Provost's house in Abercromby Place, and there depo sited their colours, and were afterwards dismis sed. We regret to add, that on their way to Princes Street, the fine martial appearance of the volunteer corps did not rosette it from the derision of the mob, which consisted principally of idle boys, who pelted them with dirt. A porter's basket, commonly called a kreel, was frequently flume in the midst of the hand, whose tune was obstruct ed by it several times. As a party of volunteers, who belong to Leith, were returning to their homes, in com pany with the Leith riflemen, after being dismissed, they were again outrageously assailed, when a regular encounter took place, and several of the snob were seized. On the way to the George Street Police Office, to deposit their prisoners, the soldiers were pursued and pelted, which exasperated thesis to such a degree that a tile of the military :aced about and charged upon the mob, which stood their ground, and in coming in con tact with them, the volunteers unfixed bayonets and cudgelled them with the INC t ends of their muskets.— Many were much hurt in the scuffle; several of the vo lunteers were most seriously lacerated on the face and hands by blows trout stones and staves, and a rifleman in particular, was exceedingly bruised and di:figured.— Only about 2tl of the military maintained the conflict to the last; and these, on having succeeded in conducting their prisoners within the gates of the Police Office, proclaimed their victory in several cheers of defiince.— in the whole, eight or nine of the snob who made the attack are now in custody at the Police Office." GLASGow, APRIL t4.—Yesterday the King's birth day was celebrated with the customary demonstrations of loyalty. The military and volunteers, tan the presence of an immense crowd mangevred and fired in the Green ; and in the evening Isis Majesty's health was drank at the Cross, amid great applause, by the magistrates. The juvenile loyalists amused themselves during the day by letting off pistols, squibs, and crackers. The populace came i n to play as the evening advanced. A flaming tar barrel was paraded through the principal streets, and then used to light sip a bonfire in front of the prison.— BaillieCielland's Railings are the materials usually seized for expressing loyalty.—Five months ago the nob con signed theist so conflagration for the escape of the Queen —and last night a similar use was made of them m ho nour of his Majesty. The bonfire had not lasted long, before the police-officers came forward and endeavoured to prevent furrher depredations: but they were fiercely assailed by the mob and obliged to retire. A small party of dragoons then carnet() the spot. The officer commanding them, in the most humane manner, tried in persuade the populace to desist, but they answered his mild deportment by hisses and a volley of sticks, the officer still coetented himself with keeping off the crowd from the fire. By and by the inagissrates appeared with a company of infantry. The crowd, persisting in their attack, were ultimately driven hack; but they renewed the conflict with sticks and stones, and severely wounded souse of the soldiers. The patient forbearance of the dragoons deserves the greatest praise; every man of this small party was cut and bruised : a serjeatit and private were unhorsed. The Lord Provost and the head jailer were cut on the head. Several gentlemen near them were also wounded, more or less. One of the 41st was knocked out of the ranks. After some delay, the dra goons having been reinforced, advanced ; and the crowd made off in all directions. During one of the evolutions of the dragoons several hundred is en, women, and children, were tumbled over each teller. The confusion and cries of terror, as well as the loud lamentations for the loss of lists and shoes, were striking.—They who endeavoured to get away by the wooden bridge soon blocked up the passage, and the first arch, 25 ft et in width broke down with the pressure. it was a terrific crash; the cries which arose front the su ff erers were most piercing, and were re-echoed by others little less fearful from the spectators. A mingled mass of men, women, and bops, were precipitated into the bed of the river— the water was not at the deepest more than ten inches, but much injury was sustained from the fall and pressure. The police officers assisted the bystanders in carrying out the wounded, but the soldiers were by this time too much irritated to offer any aid. 'The msforninate persons were conducted to the town hospital, the gaol, and the i nfirmary. Five of the sufferers were carried into the jail, four of them had broken legs, and one hail a broken ann. In the Royal Infirmary there are seven men and boys with fractured arms and legs. In the town hospital there are eleven men, girls, out! boys ; among the issjii ries are a fractured thigh boor, a compound fiacitire of the leg, a dislocated shoulder joint, a girl whit a fractured jaw -bone, and the remainder ate Moises. Ati ttttt ber were taken to the South Batik. A stir:term sit Hutch eson-town has three cases of fracture, and of severe cuts or bruises. A number more were hurt who went home. We lament to say ihat these accidents tire not the worst. One unfortunate man of the name of Geo. Andrew, a shoemaker in the Gorbals, was helped (Mon the bed of the river) into an adjacent house, and set down in a bed ; when he had got a think of water, he fell back and instantly expired. He has left a wife and four children to lament his death. There are rumours of more deaths; but they have nut been authenticated by our inquiries. EITILiCT FROM A PRITATE LETTER. " GLASGOW, APRIL 2-h.—Yesterday the military here, and our Sharpshooters, titet the Green as usual to fire a royal salute in honour of his Majesty's birth-day. The crowd was immense; a number of idle boys and own began to throw Statics at our sharpshooters tin their return. Little notice was taken of this, and as the streets in the evening were very quiet, no danger was looked fur. The mob wade aMu uppu►ite the gaol , w hich - - . N N ... G • .- e- r. • .6 i THE NATIONAL REGISTER came so large that the magistrates sent a party of the sth dragoons to prevent any mischief, and the fire put out. The mob begun to pelt the dragoons in a most desperate manner, wounding a number or them. The attack was made in such a desperate manner, that it was necessary to make a charge. The mob made for the foot-path wooden bridge, and the pressure and weight were so great that the arch next the Green gave way, and the whole of the people on that part fell in with the arch. The river was low, and it was dry ground. The height, I suppose, was about 20 feet, and the length of the part that gave way about 30, or perhaps more. By this ac cident 14 or 15 persons have got legs, arms, &c. broken, and a vast number were severely bruised. Two are cer tainly dead—report says seven. A number were carried , on by friends, that are not known. I saw some this morning taken to the Infirmary; 13 last evening were taken to the Town Hospital, which is near the spot, and every care taken of them. Several gentlemen got hurt by the stones thrown by the mob, and many of the dragoons were severely cut and hurt; one it is said has been killed. I suppose no troops ever stood such a pelting so firmly and quietly, and woe could behave with more humanity. I can lean► of none that cut or much injured any one; no doubt several were rode down. " 1 made no doubt that reports and statements will he made up, to throw blame on the military and our ma gistrates; but if any blaate is to be attached to them, it is that of being too lenient. "I forgot to mention that a party of the 41st foot were present, and also behaved in the coolest manner. There was scarcely a man or officer of them who did not re ceive bruises from stones thrown by the mob : one sol dier was knocked down by a stone, and very much hurt. " P.S.—I have just learned that the dragoon who was said to be killed, still lives, but in a very dangerous state." FROM TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. BANKRUPTS. T. Coney, Sculthorpe, Norfolk, miller.

A. , : • The Jury band a verdict of Mani/aught& lo the On Wednesday last a groom, in the service of Mr. Thomas Hawkins, of Stanton Court, Worcestershire, being sent by his master to the Haw, for some live tench to stock a pond, on his arrival proceeded in a boat for the imposed getting the fish out of a trunk, which was moored in the middle of the river, and whilst thus occupied, by some means or other he over balanced himself, and falling backwards into the water, sunk to rise no more ! It is a singular eircwnstance, and illustrative of the attachment and sagacity of the canine species, that a pointer dug (which had accompanied the man, and had been left in charge of a sack bag on the bank while the poor fellow proceeded to the trunk) on perceiving the man fall into the river, imme diately took the bag in his mouth, and jumping into the water swam about for a considerable time in search of his companion. When nearly exhausted, the animal was taken into the boat by some persons who were endeavouring to render assistance; but immediately on being relieved front the bag, the faithful animal again jumped overboard, and continued his search for nearly a quarter of an hour. In about an hour this. body was got up by means of nets, but life of course was totally extinct. When the corpse was brought out,the attachment of his dumb associate again manifested itself, as the poor creature stretched himself upon his breast and licked his face; and it was not without considerable difficulty that he could be separated from it. The Archbishop of Paris has addressed a circular to the clergy of his diocese on the subject of the late duel, in which a stockbroker was killed by his ad versary, whom he had detected in an intrigue with his wife. A person dying under such circumstances is, by the Romish church, deprived of the ceremonies usually observed previous to the interment of a body. A tumultuous assemblage, it will be recollected, forced the doors of the church of St. Louis, and compelled the curate to finish the funeral service.— The venerable Archbishop after a long exhortation to his diocesans, intbrms them that he has laid the case before the Attorney-General, and demanded justice for such a flagrant outrage against the rcli• gion of the state.
