GLASGOW DECLARATIW,7.

[From " The Glasgow Courier," Oct. tc.]
On Thursday, at a Meeting in the Town Hall.
of the Merchants, Bankers, Manufacturers, and
other inhabitants of this City, the Lord Provost
presiding, the following Declzration was proposed
by Mr. Chas. Stirling, seconded by Mr. Kirkman
Finlay, and unanimously adopted :
" We, the undersigned Merchants, Bankers,
Manufacturers an:; otters, of the City of Glasgow,
deem it our duty, at the present juncture, thus
publicly to declare our sentiments.
" We observe with detestation the attempts
now made throughout the country by factious and
desperate ruen, who, for their own selfish pur-
poses, take advantage of the distresses of the
times, and by calling together large assemblages
of people, under various pretexts, and by circu-
lating blasphemous and seditious publications
among the uninformed part of the community, arc
endeavouring to weaken the sanction of our holy
religion, to mislead the understandings, and irri-
tate the feelings of the labouring classes, and to
engage them in measures, which, if not resisted,
must end in the subversion of all social order and
regular government.
" We sincerely commiserate the distresses ender
which certain classes of our fellow-subjects have
for some time laboured. We consider the pa-
tience, with which a large proportion of the po-
pulation of this manufacturing district have borne
these distresses, as en►itling them to the h►ghest
praise.

" We hope and believe that the present pres-
sure is merely of a temporary nature, nod, while
it continues, we will lend our aid in the promo-
tion of every measure calculated to afford re-
lief to the really necessitous. But we, at the
same time, declare, that it is our firm and de-
cided resolution to resist every attempt of the
turbulent and disaffected to overawe the Con-
stituted Authorities; and to employ all the means
in our power, for the support of our inestimable
Constitution—of that wise system of equal laws
and rational liberty, under which this Nation has
long enjoyed so much happiness and prosperity."
The present aspect of our country is alarming.—
We see, every day, the Throne tradueed, while we
never had a more virtuous King, nor his Majesty
more faithful Ministers—the Laws held up to deri-
sion, when our Judges are just, protecting the
Peasant equally with the Peer—our blessed Reli-
gion ridiculed—and the Clergy scoffed at, in con-
veying 1,1 us the mild precepts of the Gospel. Is
it not, therefore, full time for every honest man
publicly to declare his principles ? The ;;teat body
of the people is still sound. This is not the time •
for dalliance.

—Nought shall make us rue,
4' If Britain to itself do rest but true."

A beautiful meteor, apparently as large as the
moon, was observed at Glasgow on Monday even-
ing, the I I tl► Oct., about half past seven o'clock.
Its direction was north, and was step about four
seconds, when it exploded.

MANCHESTER, MOYDAT, OCT. 18.

NEW BAILEY.

This morning dart Scott, the woman who was
apprehended on the 16th August last, in Deans-
gate, was brought into Court to be bailed. This
woman has remained in confinement ever since
the 16th of August, and the charge against her
was for inciting to riot and disturbance. On the
day of the Meeting she was in Deo.nsgate, at
about 7 o'clock in the evening, and was taken up
by -- Ashworth, a baker, residing in Manches-
ter, near Mr. Wood's, hatter, in Deansgate, tor
throwing bricks and stones at the constables, anti
for crying out, " D—n them ; kill them." She
was, immediately after her apprehension, immured
for five nights and days in a damp cell in the New
Bailey, in consequence of which she was attacked
with an inflammation in her bowels and a horning
lever. In a state almost approaching to death she
was retnoved to the Hospital, where she has re-
mained ever since in a very weak state of health.
At about one o'clock she was brought up be-
fore Mr. Marriot, the Magistrate ; and Mr. At-
kinson, the solicitor in her behalf, tendered bail.
Mr. Marriot desired Mr. Milne, the Clerk, to
see if the bail were gond.
The names of Mr. Dracup and Mr. Candinett
were then tendered, and they both appeared in
Court. It appeared that they had been bail for
other persons ; the former for Mr. Wroe, we L.
lieve, the Editor of The Manchester Observer, and
the latter five various times in other causes. They
gave bail for this poor woman in 201. e., a to ap-
pear at the next Quarter Sessions at Manchester,
to answer any indictment which may be preferred,
and to keep the peace in the mean time. Thu
other parties were, however, out bound over v.;
prosecute.
