PRESBYTERY MEETING AT GLASGOW:

Wednesday there was a good deal of animated
discussion at the ..‘lreting of the Presbytery of Glas-
gow. After some routine business,, the Rev. Princi-
pal Tnyt.on rose and proposed an Address to the
King at the present juncture.
The Rev. Mr. LAPSLIE seconded the motion.
The Rev. Dr. TAYLOR, jun. hoped it would pass
unanimously.

The MODERATOR put the question.
The Rev. Dr. CHALMERS objected to any inter-
ference with politics on the part a the Pre,bytery.
He recommended to them rather to devote their ex-
ertions to the religious improvement of their pa-
rishes—(App/mac in the gallery).
The Rev. Mr. LAPSLIE made a warm speech in
reply to Dr. Chalmers. Alluding to the applause,
he told the audience that they ought to remember
that they were not in St. John's Church—(The Rev.
Gentleman Was more than once admonished to ad-
dress his observations to the Chair). _ _

It was then resolved that there shoal be an Ad-
dress; and one, prepared by the Rev. Dr. Ctrs, was
proposed. A number of modifications were made in
it by the Moderator and others. -
The Rev. Dr. CHALMERS said that he was more
and more convinced that there should be no Address.

The Rev. D. Mum thought it absolutely neces-
sary that the Presbytery should express their loyalty
on this occasion.

The Rev. Mr. CLAsox, in a neat speech, opposed
the Addres..

The Rev. Mr. MARSHALL concurred in the oppo-
sition.--Some farther discussion ensued: In the end
the Address was carried in its modified shape, with-
out being put to the vote.

NORTIIALLERTON MEETING.—We are particularly
desired to state, that the followin4 are the exact words
which were used by MARTIN SrAP'VLTON, Esq. at
the conclusion of his speech at this Meeting :—" If
the disthissal of his Majesti's Ministers, and a com-
plete change
in his Majesty's Councils, could be ac-
complished by the sacrifice of my life, I should be
'rifling this day to lay it down to effect an object so
essential to the sa/dy of-my country."
liodsELEss Pooh.—A considerable increase took
place in the number of applicants on Saturday, and
cm Sunday night those parts of the London Wot k-
house NithiCh Inive beet; placed under the control cf
the Committee, were c: owdeJ u ith inmates, most of
them appearing in the most abject distress, and all•
grateful for the assistance afforded by the Charity.
LON DON -B IDGR--I;ertelikay, about one• o'clock,
the River was so choaked up with ice from the con-
fined and narrow arches of London-bridge, that 21
lighters and craft were blocked up in the ice above
the bridge; the accumulating ice, with a tremendous
crash, at length forced eight of the barges through
the arches, they being nearest the 'midge, hat &ft
other 13 remained` immovable, till the return of &cc!
tide, amidst the ice. Connected with the barges were
many loads of floating timber, great part of which
would be lost to its owners, as well as a barge sunk
on Saturday by the ice through the bridge. The
situation of many oldie lightermen who were in alb
barges was quite distressing, is no boat', could get to
them, and the ice was Lc() rotten for thein to venture
on it to the shore.
