GLASGOW, nECEMBER 28.

On the night between, Prid:ty the 24th, and Satur-
day the 25th inst. A singular circumstance occurred
at Garion Bridge toll-bar, on thercad between Ha- .
milton and Dalserf. Four fellows of suspicious cha-
racter had spent the afternoon in drinking at the toll-
house, and deeming it more coneenienz, instead cf
paying their reckoning, to attempt their esca by •
rt
the end window, which overhangs a considers!,
cipice, three of them had already accomplished t eir
purpose, and the fourth was just about to follow his
companibns, when he was secured by the tollman
and some assistants, and detained in the house.—
Wishing to release their comrade, the three fellows
manded from without that he should be restored •
to them, Otherwise they would tame back ~ and wring •
their hands in the blood of the fatnily." The toll, -
man, however, bolted the door, and resolved to de-
tain the prisoner. They shortly after went away,
but in consequence of the threat they had used, a •
good many of the neighbours were requested to conic
and guard tie house for the night. Two hours afte:--
wards, seven fellows, including the three above-
mentioned, some of them armed with muskets, came
in order to effect their object, the release of the pri-
soner, and to take revenge for his detention. But the
party that guarded the house being too strong for
them, they, after dischargieg one shot, succeeded in
surrounding and taking four prisoners, who were trn=
mediately marched off under an escort to Hamilton
jail, where they are at present detain:A.
Sunday evening, about eight o'clock, as four men
were going into Paisley, upon the Glasgow.risad, they
were attacked near flarsbaw-gate, by a-gang of fel-
lows, eight or nine in number, who after wantonly
knocking some of them down, and otherwise m.:b•
treating them, encoumged their dog to attack one
man, by which both his legs Weid cut and lacerated
in a rnost shocking manner. A party of Iltisf.ars
were dispatched from Paisley to apprehend them,
but unfortunately they did nut succeed.

Letters from Manchester, dated Tuesday last, ulsst
state, tl:at large orders had been received there, and
had occasioned employment to many hands; who
have lately had little or nothing to do.
Last week two very extensive warehouses in Pals-
ley took on a number of hands, and one of them
sent to Polloksban s for plain weavers. It is generally
expected that onr languishing manufactures will re-
vive considerably with then ew year.
Friday week, a person applieat the Queen's Head, in Dur-
ham, for a poet-chaise and four, to carry him to Baby Castle;
whither hessid he was proceeding with important dispatches tor
the EArl of DAIRUNGITOII. As soon as the chaise was 'ready he
set out, accompanied by a female, decently attired, but not sf
very genteel appetrance. On reaching Ruby, the stranger was
informed that the Lord Lieutenant was at b.ewton-house, whi..
ther he followed. At Stair.drop he represented himself as the
Duke vf Lancaster; and kis enviable consort, the Duchess, regaled
herselt with a glass of runt and water In the kitchen scf the mu!
His Grace made an unsuccessful application to one of the Earl of
Maxima:oes agents for a loan to defray his expenses en the road.
Ile also requested permission to remain at the Castle till the re-
turn of its noble owner, which was of course refused. On his
arrival at Newton-house, he found that lue assumed title failed
to obtain hint an audience. In this dilemota the post-boys, who
began to despair of receiving payment for their services, deemed
1 it prudent to bring the Duke and Duchess back to Durham,
where they arrived is the course of Saturday. His Grace having
' no money, left his watch and rinbs, and the Dsukors bet tre.lf
and dppct, as secarity to Mr. Psket, for the expenses ore journey
which cooldrody haveheen under taken through follyor inatursy.,
Exicurrox.--This morning Thomas Wildish, for
uttering forged £lO Notes of the Dover Bank, and
John Booth, a letter-carrier to the General Post-
! Otfice, for stealing a Bank of England Note out of a
letter entrusted to his care, were executed at New-
gate. Booth was a fine your.g man, and much ie-
spected in the Post-Office. Great intercession was
made to save him, but without effect. The uefor-.
tunate culprits met their fate with fortitude, and died
withotit a struggle.—A young woman, just at the
time of their being turned off, said to be arelation of
one of the sufferers, was seized with hysteric fits, and
obliged to be conveyed hon e to her friends.
