THE GLASGOW CHARTISTS.

On Tuesday evening a meeting of the Universal Sue-
frage Association was held in the Lyceum, for the trans-
action, as the hand-bills announced, of important busi-
ness, and to hear an address from Mr. Moir, who, to
the surprise of some of his constituents, had a few days
before left the Convention, and returned to Glasgow.
The place of meeting was very crowded, and for some
time there was a call for adjournment to the Baz ler,
but this was found impracticable, and the business of
the evening proceeded. Mr. Cumming in the Chair.
The Secretary, after reading the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting, laid before the Association certain docu-
ments transmitted from the Convention. After hearing
Mr. Moir, and passing strong resolutions, the meeting
separated. The editor of the Glasgow Argus winds up
the account by saying, " We have this consolation,
however, that, let the sacred month begin when it may,
it will be a failure in Glasgow. The working classes
of Glasgow are not yet prepared for extreme ulterior
measures."

At Wicklow Assizes an action was brought by
the next heir of Miss Byrne, to recover a large property
left by her in trust to the Rev. Messrs. Ryan, O'Neill, and
Brennan, Roman Catholic Clergymen, for pious uses.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff', thus establish.
ing the invalidity of the will.
