GLASGOW POLITICAL UNION.—A very noisy
meeting of the Political Union was held on Thursday evening
last, when the debate was resumed on the subject of a repre-
sentative for the city ; Mr. Birkmyre in the chair. Mr. Fulton
length denounced the conduct of the Reform Asso-
antintgior
neat for
the course they had pursued in recommendin4,
Lord William Bentinck to the electors, which he energetically
styled a conspiracy against the liberties of the city--an at-
tempt to ride rough-shod over the heads of the electors.—

STEAM VESSELS IN THE RIVER.—The port of
London Improvement Committee have judiciously passed an
order to the Harbour Masters and Surveyor of the Port of
London, to fix upon both sides of the River conspicuous posts
or other palpable marks at every half mile, between London-
bridge and Greenwich, that the public on board the steam-
vessels may ascertain with unvarying accuracy the speed of
every vessel for every half mile in the port, and at what parti-
cular mile or half mile the speed should be increased if the
vessels transgressed at any time the by-laws.
A public dinner was given on Tuesday last to the
first freely elected Mayor of Carlisle.
In consequence of the immense quantity of snow
which fell on Tuesday between Bath and Marlborough, the
Bath and Exeter mail, which should have arrived in this city
from London at eight in the morning, did not reach until
about five in the evening ; and the Bristol mail from London,
which ought to have reached us about the same time in the
morning as the above, did not come in until past seven in the
evening. The bags of both mails had been forwarded in post-
chaises and four, and reached the post-office shortly after four
o'clock in the afternoon. All the other coaches were late in
proportion ; no conveyances except the mails were despatched
from York House last night. The snow in some places near
Beckhampton was from nine to fourteen feet deep. The York
House day coach got buried on Tuesday afternoon in a snow-
drift, near Cherhill, and two ladies (one eighty years of age)
were obliged to pass the whole of the night in the inside, from,
which it was found impossible to extricate them until the coach
was dug out in the morning. The roads west of Bath have
been comparatively clear of snow.—Bath Herald.
