IFUITHER PAII7CUI.IIO.I *e have 'learned, from eye witnesses, that the forbearance of the military its therlisgrareful scenes of Monday night *44 altogether unexampled, and that the treatment which they renewed was such as would _have disgraced barbarians. Sir William Clark, of the sth dragoon guards, had his skull laid bare, through his helmit, by a blow from a stone. The serjesot tnerrtioeed in our last, 114 d nearly log hi. life, stud the by-slander who attempted fo assi.t hitu had nearly shared.the same fate. One after repeated blows, was again snuck with each violence, by the 'imp end of • stab thrown at tris'back, as to be wounded to the bone. Another was-so dreadfully lonised, that he with difficulty crawled to • sequestered spot, where, amiable to move, he remained till the morning. The area io front or the gaol, covered with stones next morning, attest the hers that were thrown. When the Lord Provost and other Magistrate* "mired with a reinforcement, not only was their loothority derided and defied, but their persons as well as the persons of the military, were most grossly insulted, severely beaten and bruised ; and when the latter were forced to make that demonstration of repelling force by force, which drove the crowds to the bridge, where the idle curiosity -of many soil the eight of others occasioned the .catastrophe by which so many accidents occurred, .=the military, as far as in their power, shewed the -utmost alacrity to aid the Lord Provost and the Civil Power, in rendering every assistance to the -unfortunate sufferers. The persons (twenty) in the Royal Infirmary who were hurt on Monday night by the falling of .nort of the timber bridge, were all in a fair way of recovery this morning; besides the above, a numeber of others are confined to their own houses front the hurts they received, sod, as far as our infomiagoes, none of them are dangerous. The boy who was severely hint by the bursting of a pistol 'the same day, is uut out of danger. —(Glatgoir {eerier.)
