Extract of a Letter from Glasgow, dated' Oct. 2S
" A Public Meeting of the Inhabitants of Glasgow and its
vicinity is to be held in that piece of ground called the Clay
know, situated on the south side of the Gallowgate, east side
of the Toll-bar, on Monday, the lit day of November, at one
o'clock, to take into their consideration the propriety of Peti-
tioning or Appealing to the Prince Regent for a Redress of
Grievances, and to obtain a Radical Reform au the Commons
House of Parliament. Likewise to express their sentiments con-
cerning the late Massacre at Vanclit.ster, &c.

" kcosting-bills have been printed for Meetings of the. Radial
Refonntira on the same day at Clay Knew, in this vicinity; at
Kilsyth, about twelve distant ; at Caumsie, ten miles ;. and at
Airdrie, twelve miles. Bills are also posted up at Pa*ry, for a
Meeting there on the same day."
In consequence of a most respectably signed Re-
quisition to the Bailiffs of Bridgnorth, a Meeting of
the Inhabitants of that town and neighbourhood was
held in the Town-Hall, on Thursday, when an Ad-
dress to the PRINCE REGENT was produced, and
unanimously agreed to.
At the Meeting of the Town Council of the City
of Edinburgh, held OR Wednesday last, the I'aovosr
said, that he thought it proper for the Council to send
an Address to his Royal Highness the PRINCE RE-
GENT, and he would therefore move that a Committee
be appointed to prepare it before next Meeting. It
was his, the LORD PROVOST'S wish, that the Address
should be moderately worded, avoiding to offer any
opinion on the recent transactions at Manchester, but
merely contain matter expressive of the attachment
of the Council to the Throne and the Constitution,
of the loyalty of the People in that Marty of the King-
dom, and particularly alluding to the exemplary
conduct of the lower orders in Edinburgh and its
neighbourhood. A Committee for the above purpose
was accordingly appointed.

in an animated and able speech, deplored the distress
of the labouring classes, and assured the Meeting

alleviate it. We are happy to add, that the endea-
vours of his Grace to procure employment for those
who would otherwise be destitute have been crowned
with success, and that work is provided for every
applicant.
