:fieW MECHANICS• INSTITUTION FOR THE FROHO.
TION OF ART AND SCIENCE, AT GLASGOW.

On Saturday, the 20th nit. about 400 persons met, 374 of.
whom had previously subscribed from lialf.a.gninea to is
guinea earn, to institute a second Scientific School in
Glasgow-200 or 300 more may be ealcolated upon in a
short time. This new Institution is the result df what,
prima fade, would appear an evil, via. a sece.sion from
another most useful society, called the Ander.onian
tution, by the hulk of a class of 600 individnal+. The con-
sequence of this seces4on will be—Olasgow enjoying two
institutions instead of one—the labours of balfm-dozen
lecturers instead of two or three—and an increased energy
in the now rival managers of.both. •
On the sth of July, the final resolution of secession was
made, and a Conitnittiee of 2t members were appointed to
frame a constitution, procure a hall, correspond with lec-
turers, and take measures fur the furrostion of a library.
On the 26. h of the same month, the Committ-e con:-ened
a public mertinir of the mechanics' class, when a Coustitu-
Von was laid before them, and met with their decided ap-
probatian. It related principally et 'the intern fovern-
ment of the Institution, and concluded' with the
clause:—
tt ltt. That as soon as this Institution Shall have been.
founded, the Committee shall apply to the magistrates sa4,
Town Council for a chmter of incoripttition. to secure the
property of the limitation to the Mechanics:of Idlasgow
for ever."

GLASGOW ASSIZCS, neer. 23.

Natter frinnin,t, were charged with having on the evenipg
of the 21st July; along with a tumultuous assemblage to
the number of 2,500 or thereby, provided with hammers,
plovers; bars, aid, other implements of destruction. proceeds
ell to the wall oti the boundary of the West Thorn estate,
the property of 'Thomas Harvey; and with haiing, with
loud shoots and:clantour, deneolished.a part of the said wall
'which terealstatod in the river Clyde. .
Mr. Morrasru, in an eloquent speech, objected to the
relevancy of the indictment. The major proposition in the
indictment charged that the pelmets. in a riotous manner
sesesibledtwith tiro arms, gunpowder, crow bars, levers,
jumpers. be. for the purpose of pulling down a will. The
mound op which the portion of the wall which had been
palled down was erected. belonged to the public--to Hee
• -• le is the villages adjacent, and might for any this/
,that could be shown to the contrary :be part of the property
of the pooh at the bar. He denied that there was any
HIAL-the ponds merely provided the necessary implr-
terate, lidl to work, and pulled down that part of be .well
which wm erected on that part, which they had long con-
sidered ai public property. If the purchaser of an estate
node' a known servitude. thought proper to build a wall oa
the part which belonged to the public—the goblin had
clearly a right to pall down that wall. If the indictment
weal to the Jury.in its present shape, it would put the
pounds to wpartienlar hardship, as it involved them in the
Woo Posspoitiou, namely, that of a riot, and did not afford
Oar an opportanity of proving that the part of the wail
Which was demolished. was pot Wilt es the property of
• ' •to Jimmies Coax is repelling the objecuus,
spit • that although the erection of Tbos. Harvey were in-
_ al'eneroachment, opposing be bad no right whate-
ver to erect that Wall, yet if demolished in the way and ono-
.ser stated in the indictment. what bad been urged by the'
Coital for the pelmets could be no objection whatever to
'lts relevancy. On a former occasion it was given out in
that very ball, by a lawyer of the first authority, that Hsu
association was formed to pall down walls and fences—if it'
was even formed to demolish brothels and houses of bad
fame—although their object was even of a laudable nature,,
yet their proceedings would be a direct lelying of war
against the King. He knew of a case which came before,
the Court of Session with respect to certain erections on the
fishing, of Sir James Colquhoun of Lass. The. Court or.
dried these erections to be torn down and removed ; but
• the people of Dumbarton assembled and in a tumultuous
wooer, not indeed with fire arms, to deter opposition in
'such a formidable manner as the present case, and yet-the
Court had no hesitation in finding that. the conduct of the
people was grossly illegal, and manifesting contempt for
the authority of the Court, although the Court had previ-
ously decreed that the very obstructions should be removed.
The nitration was not,whether Thomas Harvey had built the
.wall in a proper site or was justified in its erection; but it
swat. whether or no the wall was taken down in a legal
manner. His Lordship then repelled thg objection.
The prisoners then pleaded guilty, and Mr. hantwe
said that his clients bad expressed their sincere contrition
for their conduct. and he hoped their Lordships would
visit them with lenhy. Before they began to demolish
the wall, a line of chalk was drawn, and care was taken
that no part of the wall which wai erected on the property
of Thomas Harvey was injured. and no fire arms were
discharged till they were at a distance from the spot on
their return. As the planets had come forward in a contrite
manner, as there had been no bloodshed as generally oc-
curs at mobs of this description,as they were poor unlearned
men; acting in obedience to a legal opinion which they bad'
got, a fact which be hoped the public prosecutor would
not deny or dispute, sad as three of the men had large
families, and had never been guilty of any offence before, be
hoped the Court would award a lenient punishment.
Mr. ALtsore, Advocate Depute, said it was bat seldom it
f II to the lot of men on his side of the bar to plead ou the
side of mercy, but he did so with pleasure on the present
1 occasion. Ile fully concurred with the learned Counsel,
that as the men had acted in obedience to a legal opinion,
he would not press the Court for a severe punishment.—
! Under no pretence whatever have the people a right to
assemble in mobs and tumultuous bodies, and arter what
had fallen from his Lordship—after the principles of law
and common sense he had laid down, no riotous assemblages'
uhatet•er could meet in future, and plead ignorance fur
their lawless conduct.
The lard Janice CLERK said the learned gentleman
had acted with great prudence in advising the ponds to
plead Guilty; and they might to he highly grateful to the'
Patine Prosecutor ; fur, tal it not been fur his lenity, the
Court, in discharge of the duty they owed the law and the,
vonntryoroald have been under the necessity of awarding
