DISTURBANCES IN GLASGOW.

Between Saturday and Sunday morning there
was posted upon the walls of Glasgow, Paisley, and
in all the manufacturing towns and villages tor a •
dozen miles round, an Address to the People of
England, Ireland, and Scotland, calling upon them
to come tbrward instantly, and to effect, by force it
resisted, a revolution in the government. 'finis paper
is suppoYed to have been printed in biglaint ; tutu
we should suppose it of English composition, tivan
its dwelling much upon Magna Charts and tile Bi:i
of Rights, in %%nick Scotland ha< no interest. It is
probable, then, that this same tddress has been
circulated through the manuf.cturing districts of
Englund; and the accounts of its effects there are
looked for %vita much inixicv by both loyal and
disloyal in this part of the country.

GLAsutov, APRIL 3.
Many corps have been observed drilling in this
neighbourhood for souse nights past, and even during
the day. In some places strangers have taken pos-
session of smiths' shops, who immediately fell to
work in manufacturing pikes, &c.
The times arc perilous in the extreme. We do not
exaggerate when we say there are, at this moment,
60,000 persons in this city and the surrounding
towns and villages, who have struck work ; many of
these, not a doubt remains, have been compelled to
join this highly illegal combination by threats; such
an immense bully cannot, however, long remain
inactive. it strong measures be not instantly
resorted to, it is impossible to say when and where
the mischief will end.
tin iron foundry was last night broken into, in
the Gallowgate, and a number of tiles, &c. carried
off. It lire-arms were their object, they were for-
tunately disappoiuted, as these had previously been
lodged in a place of safety.

The streets are crowded, and some audacious in-
sults have been offered to the Yeomanry of the
adjoining counties.
Last night, about twelve o'clock, nearly thirty
Radicals wen: out titan Paisley to Lounsdale, a mile
south-west from the town, and demanded whatever
fire-arms might be in the house. On being told
there were no arms in it, they said they would
go next to Foxbar, a little to the westward. The
proprietor of Lounsdale told them, that if they did
they would meet with a determined resistance,
which they found to be the case, as the proprietor,
after vainly giving them warning to retire, fired
upon them, by which a young man, of the name of
Cochran, was killed, and, it is supposed, several
others were wounded, as blood was traced to some
distance from the house. The body was lying at
Foxbar this morning, the party having retired after
the first fire, without carrying off the body.

CHAIRING OF
MSIR. R FROBHOUSERANCIS B.
URDETT AND

Thursday being the day appointed for Chairing the
Representatives recently returned members for the City
of Westminster in Parliament, preparation was made
at an early hone to give effect to a ceremony which many
considered the triumph of independence. The line
marked out for the procession was from Sloane Street to
the Crown and Anchor, in the Strand, and within that
range all business seemed to be suspended. The shops
were shut, and in geoeral, arrangements were made to
accommodate friends with places at the windows to see
the procession. Purple streamers and laurel decorated
many of the houses ; and soon after two o'clock the
streets were crowded with spectators, whilst carts, cara-
vans and coaches, drew upon each side the way, for the
purpose ..f making money. The public were acconi-
misdated in those vehicles at the rate of a shilling or

sixpence a head.
At half-past eleven the hands and banners of the dif-
ferent parties arrived and took their stations. Barou-
ches and horsemen arrived, decorated with blue and
white ribands The riders and drivers wore a blue
cockade with white rosettes in the middle.
The ear was superior in taste to any thing of the sort
used on former occasions. The triumphal seat was
elevated ten feet at least from the body of the vehicle,
and the ascent to it was by steps. The whole was
covered by dark blue cloth, and ornamented with gold.
On the back of the car appeared, in gold letters—
" Trinmab of Reform." The sides were tastefully
adorned with scrolls of burnished gold, commencing at
top, and twisting to in • d breadth at the bottom.—
It was hung with drapery, intermixed with the favours
of Burden and Hoblmse. S•x grey horses were har-
nessed to the car. The postillions wore blue and white
silk jackets, with caps of the same.
About two o'clock, the procession being formed in
Sloane Street, Sir F. Burdett, and John Cam I :obbouse,
Esq. made their appearance amidst loud shouts of
applause
I'he procession moved down Piccadilly, the Hay-
market, along Cockspur Street, and up St. Martin's
Lane, to Long Acre and Covent Garden. About half-
past three o'clock a shower, which had been some time
expected, cattle down so smartly, that few remained dry.
Sir F. Burdett and Mr. Hobliouse, in their elevated
situation, weie really pitied by the spectators. They
could not have a dy thread on them. An umbrella was
put upon the car but neither would use it. On their
arrival opposite the church in Covent Garden, the bands
of music played " Hearts of Oak," and " The Con-
quering Hero." The procession went down Southamp-
ton Street to the Strand, and thence to the Crown 31141
Anchor Tavern, where the members and their friends
arrived at foto. o'clock. They were saluted by loud alto
repeated cheering from the populace collected round St.
Clement's Church.
THE DINNER.
After the Chairing, there was a dinner at the Crown
and Anchor Tavern, Strand, in the Grand Boom of
that house.
By. six o'clock, the dinner was placed on the table;
and Immediately afterwards the Members, Sr Frattets
Burdett and J. C. Hohbouse, Esq. entered the 100111,
amidst thunders of applause.
Mr. Boundthwaite took the Chair ; Sir F. Burdett on
his right, and Mr. Hohhouse on his left hand.
The cloth having been removed, the Chairman gave
the first. toast—" The People, the ottl• Source of Leci-
timate Power." (Great applause.) 1 he music played
" Role Britannia "
The next toast was " The King, and the Principles
which seated his Fatuity on the Throoe." Three times
three. Tune, " Hearts of Oak."
The Chairman then gave, feeling that it reqtt red 110
comment. " The perst•ented but fearless and undaunt-
ed Advocate of the People's Rights, their worthy lie-
presentative, Sir F. Burdett." (Immense applan.....)
Sir F. Burdett then arose, amidst loud and coin ilitaca
platoli.s. Ile said lino it was the first wish of his heart
to merit the approbation of the enlightened Electors of
Westinioster ; and he could not but feel grateful for the
various ways in which it had been shown d • g the
day. It was an Mounted& wish to tis:stre the appro-
bation of one's fellow-cidzens. Many events had nap.
pelletl since tile period when he last saw them, of the
greatest importance, especially since he had been ho-
noured with the notice of the Administration by an
ex officio information ; but had lie not written that let.
ter—a proceeding which he had Bever regrened—he
thought lie should not have merited the confidence of
die Electors of Allestaiiiiister. As to 11. e trial at LeltTb-
ter, he laint meal that Welt impel feet reports had goue
before the public ; but he could account for them, as
the reports were necessarily compressed. One income-

nienee that resulted front such imperfect reports was,
the trial was not fairly before the country. The trial of
Mr. Hunt WilS most important—and he could not but
observe, that the public ought not to stiffer that indivi-
dual to bear the expellees of the trial.—(Applause.)
With respect to the proceedings at Manchester, the Ma-
gistrates evidently haul not known what to do or what
charges to prefer; and it was most extraordinary that
large meetings and banners were not to be considered
legal. He had, when standing for Middlesex, been
present at larger meetings than what was assembled at
Manchester; and he had been preceded by inflamma-
tory placards, &c. detionhcing the Bahlle. The worthy
Baronet here noticed at great length, a late speech
of Mr. Canning's, against Reform, and concluded,
amidst immense applause, with giving—" Reform, the
only remedy for our grievances." Three tunes three.—
Tune—" Bunnies strike h
The Chairman next gave their new Representative,
the able advocate of Relhrm, and the victim of impri-
sonment without even citation, .1. C. Hobhouse, Esq.
It was received with loud and continued applause and
htizzas.
Mr. lioblionse, after silence had been obtained, said,
that the testimonies which they had joist bestowed on
him affected fume tolost sensibly. 'rite toast introduced
him with new recant ii endation—though be hoped he
should never be known as a new character; it intro-
duced him as the Representative of Westminster. Af-
ter contending at considerable length that corruption
could not be deemed legal—that Reform was required—
that at every General Election many laws were violated,
lie concluded returning his acknowledgments.
After sonic further toasts, &c. the company sepa-
rated.

We cannot close this account without censuring
the folly and inconsiderateness of the Committee,
in causing so great an additional waste of time as
they did, by postponing the chairing. It is a ce-
remony which if it take place at all, ought to fol-
low immediately the declaration of the numbers on
the hustings, and not be made the means of ano-
ther day of idleness, dissipation, drunkenness and
riot.

of the indictment for high treason found against.
Arthur Tlitsilewood, William Davidson, Jas. logs,
John Thomas Brunt, Richard Tidd, James William
IVilson, John Harrison, Richard Bradburn, John
Shaw Strange, James Gilchrit.t, and Charles Cooper,
were delivered to them respectively in the Tower of
London, and at the House of Correction for the
county of Middlesex, with a list of the Jury for
their trials, and also a list of the witnesses to be
produced for proving the said indictment. We have
only room to give a short abstract of the indictment
The list of the jurors contains the names of upwards
of 200 of the freeholders of the county of Middlesex,
resident in the different parishes and places in the
county, many of them at a considerable distance from
the metropolis; the list of witnesses contains 162
names, and amongst others those of the Earls of
Hurrowby, Viscounts Palmerston and Chet wyntl,
Lord Castlereagh, the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
the Right Hon. Charles Bathurst, Robt. Baker, Esq.
the chief magistrate at Bow-street, Richard Birnic,
Esq., the Bow.street officers and the military present
at the apprehension of the prisoners, several warders
of the Tower, and others. We understand that the
prisoners are to be arraigned on Saturday, the 15th
instant, and that the trials will be proceeded on, the
following Monday, under the general commission of
gaol delivery, at the Old Bailey, and that the pri-
soners are each entitled to challenge 35 jurors pe-
remptorily; therefore, unless they join in their
challenges, they must be tried separately, for the
jury panel, numerous as it is, will not admit of a
joint trial, if the prisoners serer in their challenges.
The act of the 3il William 111. directs that the pri-
soners shall be admitted to their full defence, by
counsel learned in the law ; and the 7th William
that they shall not. be attainted but by and
upon the oaths and testimony of two lawful wit-
nesses, either both of them to the same overt act, or
one of them to one, and the other to another overt
act of the same treason, unless the party indicted, or
arraigned and tried, shall willingly, without violence,
in open court, confess the same, or shall stand mute,
or refuse to plead.
The indictment contains four counts; the first is
on the statute of the 25th of Edward 111. and charges
the prisoners with compassing, imagining, invent.
ing, devising, and intending to deprive and depute
our Lord the King from the style, honour, and
