Extract of a Letter, dated Glasgow, Sunday, 3 o'clock : " 1 have just time to eneation accounts of a very serious riot in .Greenock, edlich rook place last night. A party of the Port Glasgow Vo leers were escorting some prisoners from Paisley to the jail at Greenock ; when they entered the town, they were attacked with stripes, and pelted severely ; they succeeded, however, in lodging their prisoners safe in jail, when on returning to Port Glasgow they were attacked by the mob (partly Greenock and partly from the neighboOr hood) and were obliged to fire in their own de fence. They effected their retreat. There are already nine of the mob dead, and nine more dan gerously wounded—there are two of the Volun teers also wounded.—ln the mean time, atter the military had retired, they broke open the jail acrd liberated the Radicals, who had been lodged there from Paisley.

The Court proceeded, at ten o'clock, to the further hearing of this case. Mr. SCARLETT addressed the Jury on behalf of the Defendants ; after which he examined several witnesses with respect to the question of heated oil i n the preparation of sugar, and the dan gerous conseq►tences likely to result in the maim. factory. The exa►t►ivation of these witnesses occu pied the Court till seven o'clock, when the further proceedings were a►ijourned to this morning, EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ARSON, &c. We stated a few days since the 'particulars of the stables belonging to the College attached to the Hereford Cathedral having been burnt, and also of the College having bten discovered to have b ee n on fire on Sunday morr.ing, the 2d instant, which was then said to have beta discovered and got under by the great exertions of 11r. Hayter, the organist of the Cathedral, who rang the alarm-bell at All Saints Church, anti gave the alarm at t other Chhrcnes where the congre gatiOns were assembled, it bring during; the time of Divine Service. All the persons assembled, as we ll as a great number of others, flocked to the shot; and all the engines in the town drove with all possible speed, but all their anxiety and exer tions proved useless, as the fire had been extin gitished by the exertions of a women, a boy, end Mr. Hayter's brother, throwing pails of water on it. From various circumstances, it was supposed to haft been the act ot incendiaries. and application havint.,e been made to the Publie Office, Bow-street, Lavender wa• dispatched to ileret , ord. from the 'conduct of Mr. Hayter, Lavender had suspicions of that gentleman. Colonel MATTHEWI, the Magistrate, presided to hear the different examinations. on Mon day, after a long investigation of witnesses and weighing the circumstances, the Magistrate informed Mr. Weyer, that it was necessary to hare some circumstances of his conduct ex piaiaed, and the Gentlemen of the C o llege re, quested him to remove his residence from the Col lege. At the close of the investigation, which lasted till between five and six, the Gentlemen re tired to the College dinner, at which Mr. Hayter did not attend, which he was entitled to do by vii►tue ot his office. After the Gentlemen had dined; the servants sat down to their dinner, and during the time the Gentlemen were partaking of a Wats of wine, one of the party looking out of the window, discovered smoke issuing train out of the roof of the upper cloister. Au immediate alarm was given, and exertions were made by numbers to extinguish the fire, in which they fortunately succeeded. It was discovered to proceed from under a staircase which led to a lumber room Where there was straw and a va riety of similar light matters. Lavender, the liow•street Officer, w+•as among those who went to assist its extinguishing . the fire,• and met with Mr. [layer's brother near the spot, whom he took into custotty ; and soon atter meeting with Mr. Paver, also took him into custody, and after wards' lodged them both in the prison. SoUTHWARK. AUXILIARY BIBLE SoCIETY.-The Anniversary Meeting of the above Society was it ,- .ld yesterday at the Horns Tavern, Kennington. At twelve o'clock, Earl - SPaNcen, the' President of the Society, took the Chair, supported by se veral Divines, who made long and able speeches, in support tit this laudable Association. The Report, which was read, detailed the progress of the Society during the last year, and presented nrtny € •tatitying instances of the utility of distri• hating tie Holy Scriptures among the poorer classes of society. Alter thanks were voted to the Chairtitan, the Meeting, which was highly nutr►e tous and respectable, adjourned. A liberal col! ection was nude. AwnsTs' General BENEVOLENT FUND. The Annual Dinner in aid of this excellent Associate nt t , :ok place yesterday, hi 3 Royal High ness the Duke of Sus Six in the Chair. When the 'inal loyal toas!s had been given and drubli with an enthusiasm tvii;;ll showed how st sibly the company felt the coon enanee bestowed . upon the. Arts by the ding and Ruyai Faintly, 111r,' Douglas Kinnaird, aver a suitable enlogium, in which he adVerted to the loss which every bene volent Institution :Ltd sustained in the Duke of Kent, proposed the health of tl, President, which was received with acclamations. His - Royal ifighnesi rose to return thanks„ !nit was so overpowered by his feelioes (rernembetiog. that his brother had sat in the same chair at the first Meeting, and taken so ralr►us a concerts in' the welfare of the Charity), that his voice failed, and he was compelled to relinquish his porpose 'of addressing the assembly. ",God save the King" was played, to aIIOW his Royal Highness time to recover from his and we may say that the best seeech he ever made never ►lid him so much honour in the eyes of thoSe who beard him, as this unaffected and manly tribute of fraternal affection. " Success to the Benevolent Fund" was the neat toast, and his Royal Highness took occaSion to presS its merits upon consideration ; d 'elt upon the causes end nature of the distresses peculiar to Ar tists, and concluded with a forcible appeal to the feelings of those friendly to the object for which they had met, by saying, that while they indulged in the delight of relieving distress, they might also reflect that it would be the finest memorial they could raise to his departed brother. " The Royal Academy" was toasted, and due acknowledgMent made by Mr. Phillips. The like compliment to the British Institution called up Sir T. Baring, one of its Directors, who, in an able speech pointed out the national value of the Ails, and insisted upon the purity of the British School, which lent not itself to the corruption of the Country, but contributed largely to the moral improvement, as well as the refinement of the people. The Secretary., Mr. YOUNG, read a Report of the cases which had received relief. They were all cases of aggravated distress. The sufferers from which were chiefly artists of respectability, or their widows, of very advanced years. The relief 'afforded was in moat cases only 101 —The case was that of an historical painter, advanced in life, and afflicted with a complaint of the eyes, who bail derived the chief part of a miserable sub sistence front► the grati' ode of a poor female whom he had formerly supported as au orphan child. Mr. A. ROBERTSON, the Deputy .Chairman, spoke of the beneficial effects which had been pro - in the instance just mentioned by the relief afforded by the Society, on the health as well as the temporary comfort of the sufferer, and men tioned facts to prove the advantage which result ' ed from the practice of the Institution in conceal ing the names of those whose poverty obliged theirs to apply for assistance. '" The City of London" being drunk, Sir T. Bell returned thanks, and enumerated the parii cular instances in which the Corporation had pa tronized the tine Arts. Many other' patriotic and co n vivial toasts followed, and the ple.rst►res of the evening were heightened by charming glees and songs, in the latter of which Bto,►dhnrs: got im• (prim applause fur his " Scots whit bee wi' lirallare bled," " Greet► grow the rushes," and " John Anderson my Joe." Mr. Arnold also sang, en amateur song, in as perfect and empsisite a style as perhaps was ever heard. The Collection amounted to between 3 and 4001• About ten o'clock his Royal Highness retired, and the company soon after separated, gratified with an entertainment which did great credit to the Tavern and to the Stewards, while tended sck largely to the support of a Charily,• (judging flom six or eight cases stated to the Meeting), most deeply required and calculated to confer the dearest of blessings upon objects the most de serving. ESCAPE OF CAPTAIN DAYlS.—Yesterday Mr. John Teague, keeper of the Giltspur-street Compter, accompanied by one of the MArshal men, waited on the Sitting Magistrate at Hatton Garden, and requested a warrant, in order to search a house in Lamb's Conduit-street, where it was stated a trunk belon . ging to Captain Davis was to be found, as a lady, having three children by the Captain, resided there. Wain right and Edwards both accompanied Mr. Teague to the premises in question. They ascertained that their information with `:regard -to the afotesaid trunk was correct , but . what route the Captain bad taken Wfl4 kept secret by them. However, the belief was, that he had not quitted the country, in opposition to the story of his getting off via Brighton, upon alleet horse, in waiting for him in Smithfield. ExECUTioN.—Yesterday morning. at a quarter after eight o'clock, the five following delinquents forfeited Omit liver in the Old Bailey :—John Bird, aged 21„ and George Bird, 20 (brothers), for a burglary in the house of Mr. .J. Wiley, of Fulham, and stealhig therein a variety of articles of plate ; Henry Wicks, John Smith, and Charles Harris, for uttering a great number of forged notes. They were ell flue young men. The two Birds had, for a considerable time, marshalled a gang of desperate fellows who infested , Hammersmith, Fulham, and their eicinities. The malefactors were introduced to the Hall a little before eight o'clock. The two brothers embraced each other most affectionately. They were soon ushered to the scaffold, and after a few minutes devoted to prayer, the fatal signal was given, and they were launched into eternity. G. Bird by some watts got one foot upon the scaffold, by rehonuding after he was turned off, and, the consequences might have been dreadful, had not the executioner pulled him down by the legs. lire clowd was very great. Monday morning a young girl fell from a win dow, cat six straits height, into the Corenaut Close, High-stiect, Editiburgh,,und was killed on the 6pot. cliEsrEß. ASSIZES. TRIAL OF Slrt.

Our laic Report lett liartison hbout to com ttienee t►,e reading of Bentham Rernalks. At. 'ter he had gone through several pages be was persuaded by some gentlemen who stood near him not to proceed further in • their .perusal; but he observed, '' 1 like these remarks, they are free, and 1 like freedom; 1 look upon them as a help sent -nie by Providence. I shall now come to a close ; ray cruse, Gentlemen, is in your hands. I had a great deal to say, but to accommodate friends I shall not ssay what I intended. My cause is in your hands ; there maybe some doubts in your minds, and by the law of the land you will 'give the benefit of them to the defendants. cuts ine to the heart to think upon the conduct of some Julies in this part of the countty. It lihs struck me, that they take too little time to coosi der of the fate -to which their verdict may con sign a ratty ; even six months' imprisonment would be a serious loss to me ; hitt you cannot e'onviet me with oil tot felting your oaths. 1 ask no favour ; '1 only want justice, and I demand it. But what if the July have beforehand made up their minds ? Why, rather had 1 bear what I must sulf,4 on account of their errors, than st.e the i, - ,7lorious tight of Trial by .J ry done away. If you find me guilty, look at what will be my tate ; taken tt om my tamily, without the comforts of a letter, unless to be opened, as you have seen done this day, without my leave ; not that it con tallied any thing wrong, but let it be on ever such secret business, it would be the same. What I have said has never been fairly reported ; that is, no reporter ever wholly followed me throughout any one of my speeches. Ido not know if the Learned Counsel for the lion. Baronet iii ends to bring forward evidence against evidence ; but for myself 1 would do so. It Ido not bring for ward evidence, my enemies will say I had none ; and, not producing it, may perhaps tell their Lordships it is enough to make me guilry. shall leave the case where it is; 1 know thete wiil be a verdict, and I hardly know that it will con cern. me much whether it be one of Gtol.y or Not Guilty. Ido not despair ; my heart knows not despair ; and whether the verdict be tor we or against me, I say, the will of the Lord be: done." Thomas Garnett was some time ago a Reporter to the Manchester Chronicle. It is generally called a Ministerial Paper ; L attended the Meeting at Stockport to report the proceedings ; I have n o doubt there were 5000 persons present ; one cit., cumstance rather alarmed me, it AV 3S a pet 7 soli in the employment of Nadin, who was employed be tore Sir Chalks Wolseley came there ; if Sir Charles . Wolsrley had told the people to be patient: for a little time and that all would then be well, be must have heard it. . Cross•examioed by Mr: BEtsvoN—The paper lie reported tor is of Ministerial politics ; he was within three yards of the hustings, and went to take an account of the proceedings. Robert Thomas }Upson attended the Meeting at Stockport tot the , Manchester Obser er—l kit no terror at any thing I saw ; the shops were open ; all that 1 saw were ; I heard Sir Charles address the police officers to keep the peace, and then the people to do so ; he said be often tound peace officers break the peace, and he now begged them to keep it ; if he said in a few weeks th e great struggle would be made and ended, he must have beard it ; he heard no such thing. Cross-examined by Mr. LLOYD Remembered Harrison saying " it was as fOOliSh to petition the House of C,ommons as if a master were to go down upon his knees to entreat his Inertial servant to , do that duty for which he is engaged and paid ; remembered his saying, "to petit ion them as they now are, is absolote Folly ;" he said, it is a grand principle that a whole nation cannot err, and if there be a thousand walls between us and our Pi ince, we shall blow them all down either to heaven or hell, but we will hive them down," Those are not exactly Harrison's words, hut tips effect is substantially this same ; he remembers Sir Chalks Wolseley's saying something about the Bastile, but Witt - less could not exactly mention what he said. Re-examined by Mr. PARK—Hareison said, it was useless to have petitions addressed to the as Lord Sidmoullt refused to present them; it was with reference to Lord Sidmouti► that he used the expression of " ten thousan,i walls ;" he does not recollect Harrisor.'s having objected to petition the House of Lords. James Swinden examined by M. PasasoN—l am a draper in the town of Stockport ; I felt n(► alarm that day ; toy shop was not shut, and busi. ness was going on that day as usual. Here the case for the defendants closed ; and the Court adjourned at a quarter after eight till to morrow morning at nine o'clock. SECOND DAY.—TuEsnmr, APRIL 11. A few moments after the arrival of the Learned Judges this mottling, Mr. BENYON (Attorney-General for Chester) commenced his reply.—" Gentlemen of the Jury, I now beg leave to entreat your attention while I reply to the observations made by the defen dants, and offer such comments on the . evidence as the nature of my case demands. We must first, Gentlemen, recur to the charge made against the defendants, for it has been en deavoured to put a different intepretation "on it from that which it requires ; and sve shall also have to corv.ider the legality of one of the counts of the indictment, to which souse objections have been taken; by the Learned Coun sel for Sir Charles Wolseley. We have alleged, first, that these parties assembled an t assembly, an assembly calculated to disturb ihe pnisli - c peace, and by different means to excite in the minds of the people a con•empt and hatred of the Government and Constitntion of the realm as by la IV established. This general allegation stp.. peals to me to contain two uffeuces—First, that
