GLASGOW, MARCH

On Monday last, when a crowd of persons sur-
rounded our jail, a letter was thrown from the win-
dow of a room occupied by some of the twenty-seven
Delegates, calling upon the populace to rise and li-
berate them. The letter was picked up by one of
the sentinels, *nd delivered to his Officer. In addi-
tion to a strong detachment of Infantry, constantly
on duty in the guard-house of the jail, a mounted
Hussar rides round the prison, which has had the
good effect of preventing the crowd from approach-
ing, and of preserying order round it and the public
olii‘e3 there.

Wednesday-, John *At, carter at Tollcross, was
sentenced by the Justices of the Peace to confine-
ment in Bridewell, and ordained to find security to
keep the peace, for obstructing the constables in the
execution of a warrant, giving most abusive language
to a Magistrate, and exciting the persons collected
on the occasion to acts of violence.
We are informed, that on this, as on several occa-
-SHIS i.uety, the military were much insulted, and thel
M.lgl,trate in attendance was under the necessity of]
Ci;Fcrsing the mob by means of the Cavalry. We
c ,:irekst sufficiently reprobate the folly and danger of
suz'a conduct. and which, if persisted in, must ulti-
mately lead to very fatal consequences.
Yeacrday morning three of the Radical'pelegates,
se: on Tuesday -se'nnight, who belong to Paisley,
ws•:‘ ofithither in a coach. What further legal
L.veAigation their particular case may require will
pcbahiy take place there.
I statement in our last, that the individuals
lately apprehended in Glasgow were, on Sunday,
brought here (says an Edinburgh Paper) under an
escort of Hussars, is incorrect. The mistake ori-
ginated is the circumstance of two coaches having
.trrivei from Glasgow, containing a number of per-
ruts summoned as witnesses to appear here on the
.I.ary trial which took place on Monday last. Several
Hussars having passed at the time, the rumour was
iannerliate4 spread. and (Alt:Lifted credit, that they
v: ere escorting the Radical Delegates from Glasgow.
The Glasgow Yeomanry Cavalry were on duty
yesterday. Billets were also taken for the Dumbar-
t.l Yeomen, who arrived about twelve o'clock. They
are to parade to-day at twelve o'clock, and they will
probab.y return home to-morrow.
Yesterita , the corps -of Glasgow Sharpshooters
v.-ere reviewed in the Green. They appeared in ex •
cellent spirits, and went through their evolutions in
a masterly manner, considering the short time since
their enrolment. They hale all received notice to
hold themselves in readiness at a few minutes warn-
ing. The Yeomanry Cavalry were to do duty at
R-utherglen yesterday; it was however postponed till
Monday. However pleasing such proofs of loyalty
must be, it is hoped that the return of the deluded
few to reason and duty, will render more powerful
demonstrations unnecessary.
(room A COEIMPONDENT4
41 It is well known that some of the Radical leaders
have been sedulously labouring to induce their de-
luded adherents to strike, from the Ist of March, for
a restitution of what they call their political rights.
This, like all their other schemes, has failed. Being
in the country yesterday, I observed that the work-
men in shops, sheds, and quarries were as busy as
usual ; but the increased demand for labour which
has occurred in the course of the Spring, and the
progress of common sense, have so effectually thinned
the rank; of the Radidals, that all who yet remain
attached to their principles may have struck, and the
fact be hardly known beyond their own loom-stead.
Great praise is due to our Magistrates for the pre-
cautionary measures they took to preserve the peace
of this City."
