THE WELLINGTON STATUE IN GLASGOW.—We
lament to sate that a rude and disgraceful attempt has
already been made to deface one of the finest parts of this
noble statue in Glasgow. Some brutes—they cannot have
Leer men—knocked off and carried away, on Monday night,
the as of the horses attached to the peaceful figure of the
plough, on the western department of the statue, entering to
the Royal Exchange. Disgraceful, truly disgraceful! It is
an act, indeed, of wanton barbarity ; and we take this notice
of it, for though we are opposed to the political creed of the
Duke of Wellington, yet, take him all in all, we have never
hesitated to say that he is one of the greatest men that ever
lived, and if he came to Scotland we could reverence the very
ground on which he trod. For the sake of the character of
our city, we hope it will never be found that any of our fel-
low-citizens has laid his unhallowed hands on this statue for
the purpose of deforming it. But if such there be, and if
such be found, we think the appropriate punishment for him
would be, to have him drawn on a hurdle, through the
public streets of Glasgow, with his name and designation
gibbetted before him, and then sent to the bridewell of Glas-
gow, there to be kept for a lengthened space at hard labour,
and have his back well thrashed at the next anniversary of
the battle of Waterloo.—Scotch Reformers' Gazette.
There was a rumour in Liverpool on Monday that
Mr. Hall, formerly of Liverpool, and now of London, was
about to retire from magisterial life, and that Mr. Rushton
intended to resign his office of stipendiary magistrate here
for the purpose of succeeding Mr. Hall in the metropolis.—

THE WEATHER AND TIIE CROPS.—The weather
av(' since our last, has been of the same trying kind as that we
previously experienced. The weather, with
one exception, was fine every day until yesterday.
when a considerable quantity of rain fell. The
injury done is, however, more confined to retarding

cut, than to

BUSINESS OF THE POST-OFFICE.--On Saturday up-
wards of 30,000 letters were received at the General Post-

extraordinary influx of newspapers, kept the whole establish-
ment in full work till near nine o'clock, when the last of the
bags were dispatched by the night mails.
