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, which

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."

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.

Omner.--Dariag the kat week the inhabitants of Truro
have been amused, aMoalsised, or alarmed, according to
the different degrees of nerve and judgment possessed by
each, by the mischievous freaks of a ghost, whose pranks
kayo excited no small degree of interest; and who has
hitherto eluded every attempt to discover its retreat or
detect it is the exercise of its vagaries, though numbers
of persons have been oa the watch for that purpose. Near
Carelew-itreet, a part of the tows lately built, a house has
Usti hired as a depot, in which the arms of the militia
of~taunt of Royal Miners are deposited. On the evening
ianifuhMlgbt the person who resides in a part
of Milrlommet sod WWI takes etre of the arms, was alarmed

She pones who *brew their, or the precise spot from
whence they same, was Menvailing. This continued
thrones the night, and the people in the neighbourhood
Insisted that the stones were directed by no mortal hand.
At length the Mayor Diu applied to, who, with the active
constables of the parish of Jimmy's, Messrs. Clentence and
Brown, hastened to the place, accainpaitiod by numbers,
eager to witneu the proceedings. The scene of attack was
now changed from the front to the rear of the houses; and
though the stones continued to fly, and the civil power was
on the alert, and scouts were sent out in all directions, no
discovery was made. The ghost appeared to enjoy the
confusion it bad excited, for both his Worship nod his as-
sistants were struck with stones whilst endeavouring to un-
ravel the at)stery.. After the activity of the scouts and the
ingenuity of the constables were exhausted, sentinels were
plated at various points; some of the cavalry in the barracks
which adjoin the spot were engaged to assist. and the ma-
gistrate and constables withdrew. Still no detection took
place, though the stones continued to be thrown occasionally.
and lit utter hopelessness of wearying out the invisible as-
sailant, the windows of both the Mouses were barricadoed
on the outside with boards. The attack has been continued
up to the present moment, and io the presence ul hundred.
of persons of all descriptions who have gone is crowds to
view the premises which are subject to this most persevering
and extraordinary annoyance. The lower claws, who have
alwaxs a taste for the mares limo, are fully persuaded that
this is a supernatural visitation by some troubled spirit, and
numberless tales of the most extravagant uature bare been
circulated. Some assert that the stows smell of brimstone;
others, that they are quite warm; and one person alio re-
sides near the place very gravely assured us that the stones
continued to enter the rooms and break cups, plates, &c.
though the wtuduws were barricadoed and the doors strut
and that a few minutes before we arrived, be bad heard
two fall inside. As the sport has been as long continued,
we should think it very probable that the ghost will overact
Its part, so as finally to lead to detection. At nil events. it
appears to he susceptible of fatigue; for its attacks are only
resumed at intervals, and bet one stone is dung at a time.—
The homes attacked are open both at front and rear; on
the ()Decide are several newly-built and uninhabited houses,
and on the miser are bat racks, from which two companies
of: the 16th Lancers have marched.
• ATROCIOUS Oneemea.—On the night of ltlonday
the 16th inst. a most barbarous murder was committed
in the neighbourhood of Bannagher, in the King's
county. Between the hours of twelve and one, a body
of villains, in number about thirty, most of them armed
with muskets and fixed bayonets, attacked the house of
a man of the name of Murphy. On their shooting the
dog outside the house, Murphy took the alarm, and had
scarcely put on his clothes, when the door was burst in,
and five or six fellows entered, against whom. having
seised a pitchfork, he defended himself with desperate
resolution. The villains having retreated, had not cou-
rage to enter into the house a second time, but despatched
three of their gang to a short distance for fire, with which
to burn the house and inmates. consisting of Murphy,
his sister (a woman about 40 yeers of age), his aged,
old blind mother, and his nephew (a boy about ten years
old.) The roof being first bet on fire, Murphy's sister
first endeavoured to escape; but on her coming out, one
of these savages stabbed her in the eye with a bayonet,
which pierced through to the back of her head, whilst
others beat her about the face with their musket ends,
until a musket-shot through the heart, from the hand of
another, put an end to the period of her existence! The
house being in flames, and part of the roof having fallen
in, Murphy next rushed out, when he instantly received
a musket ball in h's head, which traversed the skull; a
second shot passed through his heart, and lodged in a
block of wood upon which he had fallen. The next
victim was the poor, old, blind mother, whom they oar.
tied to a deep bog.hule, into which they threw her. On
depaning, they struck the boy with the butt end of a
musket in the mouth. by which several of his teeth were
knocked out; they then fired at him, and lodged several
slugs in both his legs. Cul L'Estrange, of Moystowu,
SS soon as he was informed of the outrage, repaired with
a party of his staff to his house, and allonled the unfor-
tunate man, who was still surviving, every assistance,
and had hint conveyed to the barrack at Banagher,where
he now lies without hope of recovery. Nearly twelve
months ago the house of Murphy was attacked by a
body of ribandinett, who demanded his fire-arms. The
assailants were repulsed, and finally beaten off, which is
supposed to have been the cause of this dreadful outrage.
teiliwae Rosittaitr.eßAs Mr. Matihewson, of
Marshall-vireo, St. James's, was travelling in hit gig
from Cobham on the forest to Cherisey. on his way to
London, about four o'clock on Thursday afternoon. he
was slopped in a lane about three wiles front the latter
place by three fellows undisguised, two of whom pre.
1401414 pistols and detnanded his money, whilst the third
stood at the horse's head. He gave them 71 in notes
end some silver, all he had about him, when they took
his watch and his broach. The villains next cut the
harness and turned the horse loose, and then compelled
Mr. M. to go into the further end of a large field, threat-
ening his life if he did not comply, and the three escaped
without its being known width way they went.
