GLASGOW W EAV ERS.

A Meeting of the Heritors (144d-owners) of the
Barony Parish, where the Weavers chiefly ;il,,nrid,
was held on Thursday, which was attended by the
LORD PROVOST and Magistrates of Glasgow, as re.
presenting the community thereof who are proprie.
tors in the Barony Parish, agreeably to the point*
made to the Deputation of Weavers, at the croon
Hotel, on the day preceding. It vas resolved that
work of both a public and private nature he
created, and a Committee was appointed for the pr.
pose of carrying this resolution into immediate deo.
It was also resolved, for the purpose of affording in.
stant relief in extreme cases, that the Weavers then.
selves should report where such cases exist, to :mother
Committee, who were authorized to give such reef
as these cases seemed to require, and that a vols•
tart' contribution should take place immediately. A
number of respectable individuals present undertook
to procure subscriptions.
According to appoirtment, a Deputation free
the Weavers waited next day on the LORD PROVOR
and Magistrates, when his Lordship commuificattl
to them the above resolutions, and the DepuLrion
proceeded to the Green, where an immense bodyof
Weavers were assembled to hear the result. The
communication was received with the most enthu.
siastic cheers ; and the thanks of the Meeting being
moved to the LORD Pnovnsr for his humane cu.
duct, the same was carried amidst the most rapt:.
rous applause, when the Meeting dispersed.

On account of the number of Weavers and some
others tieing at present out of work, soup-kitchens
have been opened for the immediate relief of such
families as live within the city. This will be the
means of furnishing a good wholesome meal once a
day to sober and industrious families who mry st4,l
in need of such temporary aid.
The Magistrates of Glasgow, Sheriff of ce
County, and Justices of the Lower Ward, have ismi
a Proclamation, stating that they deem it
this manner publicly to intimate, " that sir,
sympathising in the present distresses of many

labouring classes of the community, they are
every means in their power to alleviate these
tresses, and to afford Relief to all those inhabital
this City and populous suburbs who are actual:y
necessitous circumstances. But while they x

endeavouring to mitigate the pressure of the
the Magistrates, Sheriff, and Justices, hereby
their determined resolution to maintain the

peace, and to repress all disorder, riot, and at
at depredation, and for these purposes to employ
the force, both civil and military, placed by the
at their disposal."
The Proclamation adds, that " whereas nume-c:s
bodies of men have'of late assembled in the Gras,
and have from thence paraded through the street<
the City, to the imminent hazard of the publi
the Magistrates, Sheriff, and Justices farther .
that such large and tumultuous assemblages and,
cessions, which are altogether unnecessary for
purpose of representing the distressed situation,
dividuals, or of obtaining relief, are contrary
and can no longer be permitted."

Saturday last a Meeting of the Weavers of .
ton was held in a small Green near the Church,
the purpose of ascertaining the best mode of
Ling their present distressed situation. A Comni.:
consisting of the most respectable individuals of &
district, were appointed to meet on Tuesday,
berate on this important subject. After takir
subject coolly into consideration, it was recr

out, stating their distress, and craving that the:
adopt the most expedient measures for their .
diate relief. It has been ascertained, that ort
1209 looms regularly employed, 499 are nos
