[PRICI SEVENPENCF,

RIOT IN GLASGOW.

On Thursday information was racclved by the
Authorities that some of the men in the work, of
Mr, Dutcs., Machine-maker; Jotl-street, •Glas.

gow, were engaged in the construction of pikes.
About three o'clock afternoon, a party of mili-
tary, consisting of sharpshooter; and hussars, ac-
companied by one tif the Magi rates, tint: several
civil officers, proceeded to search the premises.—
Mr. DUNN was sent for, and accompanied the;
officers, when it was found that two of the
had made their escape by a window which
looks into some gardens behind the Grammar
School. No pikes, however, were found, and
the men gave the party three cheers. While ati .
the premises, the men, from the very stature of
theirbuSiness, had rather =a formidable appear-
ance. They told the officers they might search
for the pikes and take them if they found them ;
but that not one of these tremendous weapons
should leave the premises so long as a .worker re-
tained lite. A great mob had collected, and
the cheers being given from the work, the popu.
lace joined in it, and even threw some Stones.
The forbearance of the military was praise-
worthy ; but• this only seemed to increase the
improper- conduct of the mob, 'and, while
they were slowly retiring down John Streer,
the rabble cried " Comet on, you

The military were steady
; but it was too much
for the Highland spiriloof one of the civil officers,
who rushed forward on the foremost of the crowd,
struck him dOwn, and apprehended hitn. The
lad made considerable -resistance:till he got . to
George-street, .after which he .walked quietly
enough. The military ,went doWn Puke-street,
and some of the civil -officees-toalc the lad
down High-street) a rescue was attempted, and
the officers, although not Meat, were _under, con-
siderable apprehension, when the feet of the
horses of three of hussars Were .heard,-and they
had scarcely come into view when the .mob en-
tirely vanished.. The prisoner was taketi to jail,
where, after receiving a suitable reprimaud, lie
was dismissed.—(Edinburgh toiircint, April 3.)
At one o'clock ihis-moihio6 the 80th regiment
rr marched from the Castle fo:Gia?govr ; also se-
veral troops of the hussars from Picrshill
harm acks. We have not heard the cause for this
unexpected movement.--,,(ltid.)

LONDON JOURNALS.

FROM THE,MORNING rAPERS OF THIS- DAY.

[Morning Vhronicle.]

Letters from-Gibraliar, clown to the 19th nir.
have been received. General O'Donnel is said to
have been deserted by his troops, and to be now
a fugitive in the 'neighbourhood Of St. Roque.—
But the most remarkable 'part• of the information
from Gibraltar is the reported arrest of the-Bishop
of Cadiz, as the instigator of thelate atrocities.
