to provide numbers of the Framework-knitters with
dinners at their own houses. We are pcsiiively as-
sured, that within the last seven days mote than fif-
teen hundred dinners Lace been given by different
individuals of this town. On Monday nearly 400
women, who had come from Hinckley, and various
villages in the County, to shcw their zeal for the
Framework-knitters cause, were liberally regaled by
one respectable inhabitant only. Wine, with some
necessary accompaniments, proved very acceptable
to the softer sex, after walking from ten to fifteen
miles in a hot sun. This practice does not seem yet
to be relinquished. We understand that 150 guar-
tern loaves and as many half pounds of cheese are
to be given away this day, by one individual.

ANOTHER MEETING AT GLASGOW.
On Wednesday upwards of a thousand poor wea•
vers from Calton met in the Green of Glasgow, to
take into consideration the best mode of getting their
sufferings made known, and a remedy provided for
their present wants. After a short deliberation a de-
putation was chosen to wait on the LORD PROVOST
and Magistrates of Glasgow. The deputation, ac-
companied by the whole body, then walked in pro-
cession, a melancholy sight, to George's-square, to
wait on the Magistrates, who were then convened on
public business. The Committee, who consisted of
five, having told over their tale of distress, his Lord-
ship stated that the Barony parish being without the
pale of his juiisdiction, he could not interfere—but
that he and the other Magistrates, as representing the
community, who are Heritors in the Barony, would
attend a public meeting, which was to take place
there next day, and would do every thing in their
power to alleviate the general suffering.
His Lordship addreresi them in the most feeling
manner, and expressed a deep sympathy in their dis-
tresses. The deputation, with the other members,
quietly dismissed, returning to their homes in proces-
sion as they came.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Wednesday, ahotit twelve o'clock at noon, a num:-
her of unemployed Weavers began to assemble in
front of the Jail. By one a considerable number as-
sembled, when they proceeded to the Green, where
they were addressed by two or three speakers, who
each in his turn enjoined good order, adding, that
they should pursue every legal measure that was left
in their power ; and in case that these failed to pro-
cure relief, there was reason to fear that the social
comp-et would give way to the laws of nature.—.
Here they formed themselves into a file four or six
abreast, and taking acircuitous route, proceeded to
the George Hotel, where the Loan PROVOST and
Council were. Four or five of their number went in
to his Lordship, and informed him that they waened
him to take their case into his consideration, and pro-
vide either work or victuals, so that they and their fa-
milies might not be left to starve any longer, as they
could not subsist another day without some relief.—
h is replied, that there were soup kitchens
erecting, and that every thing in his power would be
done for their relief. When the Deputation came to
the Stairhead and told the multitude what his Lord-
ship had said about soup-kitchens, there appeared to
be a considerable disappointment in the whole crowd.
They then sent back the Committee to know of his
Lordship when he would be pleased to give an answer
to their request, which he promised to do nest day
at four o'clock. The crowd then moved off slowly
and in good order ; all retired so, their homes, after
appointing a meeting next du to wait on his Lord-
ship for the answer.,
CARLISLE UNION SOCIETY.
Societies of this description have extended to Car-
lisle. An Union has been established there, the Com-
mittee of which have published an Address, in which
they state, that " the Union that has just been en-
tered on, by the inculcating of every thing beneficial
to the human race and the opening the eyes of the
mind, need only alarm the hypocritic and the profli-
gate. Their proceedings, so far from being kept se-
cret and clandestinely carried on, will be open to the
severest scrutiny and strictest examination ; and it is
to be hoped that as the amelioration of society in ge-
neral is its object, that the liberal of all religious sects,
and the philanthropist of every degree, will -afford it
their aid,;"

BLEEPING AT MACCLESFIELD.
SATURDAY EVENING, NINE O'CLOCK.
The Reform Meeting at Christchurch is just over
It was but thinly attended : the whole number pre,
sent certainly did not amount to 2000. At four
o'clock two carts were lashed together by means of
ropes, and about six the leaders in the business took
their station upon them. The only persons who spoke
were one Burtinshaw, a cobler, from Stockport, and
a man of the name of Buckley. A series of Resolu-
tions were moved, and (of course) carried, similar in
purport to those which have been passed at"other
Meetings of the same description.
A woman from the Stockport Female Union So-
ciety, was in one of the carts, and addressed her Sir-
ters, hoping that they would be helpmates -to their
'husbands in the good cause of Reform:
On the business of the Meeting being concluded,
the people dispersed very quietly to their rdspectiv
homes.
