some further disturbances had taken place at .

Glasgow, Paisley, Greenock, &c. At no time
since the begitining of Radz'ca1z'sni, had there been
such a general appreliension in that quarter.—
tier-ions alarms existed at Manchester, and troops
were ordered there to prevent an expected riot.

At Glasgow, Paisley, and all the neigliboriiig

country for l2 miles rotind, placards were placed,

l|l1_ the walls addressed to the people of England,

Ircl-.md and Scotland, calling upon them to Cbme

forwt-.t'tl immediately, and q17Z"C't _by./3”“ ‘1 "’4""’l"'

zian in the go-oermizmt, and enjoining the manu-
facturers to abstaiti from work from the first pf

April. All the weavers, and other.w3rkmen in

Uittsggotv, Paisley, and the neighboring country,

to the number of 60,000, immediately struck

t-.roi'l<, and the streets were covered wiili ‘crowds
of the idle and discontented. -The niagtbtrutcs
of Glasgow had offered a reward of 5200!. atid the
govet'mnt~nt a fiirther reward of 5001. fol‘ the au-
thors or printers of these itillainmatory papers.

The troops were in motion, and some skirnitsliing

had taken place. Several had been killed and

others woiinded. At the last accounts, the weav-
ers in Glasgow and Paisly, had gent-ral,ly rctptn-
ed to their looms, as the want of leaders depitved

them of all coiilit-leitce and the power of the mil-

itary pointed out to them the hopelesness of
their cause.

On the 8th, a crowd assembled at Greenock,
‘to witiiess the arrival of five prisoners, who wt:t‘u
llrotiglit in from Paisly, at 5 in the afternoon, by
the Port Glasgow volu‘ntee_ts. \Vhen the volun-
teers were returning, they began to insult, and
pelttliem with stones and mud.

The volunteers fired two shot, which only ex-
asperatcd them the more. The party were then
obliged to be in earnest, and continued a running
fire till they gotgout of Catt/sdike. Nine of the
wotindetl were taken to the lio-.:piial, oi whom 4.
had died, and the rest daiigerous; five more
were killed in the town. They tore down the
iron railing of a house, and with the arms thus
procured, preceded by a piper, in the evening set
oil‘ to attack ort Gl-asgow—but alter preceding‘
to the house of Mr, G‘c‘n1llCll,“'.llc mob i'et:irl~.ecl.
They broke open the doors of the hridewell, and
set at liberty the i-adical prisoners, but none oth-
ers. All was quiet the next morning.

About 20 or :30 mdicals were appreheiidr.‘d at
(ire-eno‘ck on the 9th April; 2 or 300 had been
taken tip about Caltoii and lit-ightoii. In an of-
fray between the E‘lussars and i'adicals near Kil-
syth, on the 6th, Lieut. Hodgson received a pike
wound through the hand _; lhree horses were also
wountlt-d——'f1ve of the radicals were wounded, one
of whom was left on the field, and l9 were made
prisoiieis. Tiirec of the principal l‘aCilCLtl leaders
at Glasgow had l):'Cl1 appreliended.

There was a strong military force at Glasg"‘ow,
but so tlircateiiiiig were the appearances, that ex-
presses had been sent to Edinburgh, and other
places for rciiiforcemettts, and regular troops and
yeomanry poured in from various quarters ; ma-
ny respectable families had left their lioines, fear-
ing the consequeiices. At Paisley, several ef-
forts were made to get possession of arms, but
without effect. 30 daring had these people be-
come, that they seized upon smith-shops, manti-
facturcd pikes and other weapons, and even dril-
led and practised military matioeiivres, near the
towns in open diy.

‘ H.»-.v, {says tiie London Courier) this inflam-
ni;itory mass is to be bronglit back with safety,
into the social body upon which it now hangs as
u l't‘lg‘llll‘ul t:.\:-C‘.‘::sCt:l1Ce, we know not. \Ve can
only hope that it may be elfectcd.’ ‘ The milita-
ry force statiotietl in Glasgow is foiwnirlable, and
so fits‘, a stzccessf-til i.=istirrection may not be anti-
-:ip'.ttetl. Bait the sword will not eradiate corrupt
priticiplez. Blood may lloiv; but it will not wash
out sedition from the heart. \Ve must cure the
disease by operating in another qttarter. \Ve
must effccttially silence the rank seditious press,
and when inll.imm>.ttoi'y stimulants are no longer
applied, the m~.-tddeuiiig f::vt:i' they produce, may
be expecte.l gratlually to abate.’

It is stated that the disturbztnces in the ‘West
of Ireland, which had lately such a menacing
ch:-tracter, are gr-.idt.i-.tlly diminisliiiig.

.‘i‘,'z.zz'n.—-A 1\'h'lriil article of Marcli 20th, says,
‘ Order is perfectly i'esto=~etl--.iotliiiis_:; is wanting
but the re-zitiioii of the Cortes, to complete the
happiness ofthe pzople.’ A Royal ordinaiice fix-
es the convocatioii oftlie Cortes, for the 9th July;
they will coiisistof [49 members from the Penin-
sula,withoiit those of America, whose places will

‘be supplied llir the present, by 30 deputies, select-
ed from th: Americans’ who are re-iiding in Spain.

The follozviiig extract from -it private letter, da-
ted '.\'I.tdrid, I\'Iirch 27, speaks a very different
language from the ollioial articles.

‘ Spain is far from enjoying a tratiquil situa-
tion ; the excesses \VfllCl'l have been committed
are reii-awed in several (p.tarters. A sullen dis-
quietude prevails in the public mind. Matty good
men have ranged tliemsclves at the. head of the
:'evolution.iry movement in the hope of directing
it ; will they sicceezl ? Mistrust is at its height,
the tempest m-.-ntccs on all sides.

‘ The day before yesterday the revolution be-
gan to display itself. A decree of the Junta pro-
nounced the confiscation of all property belong-
ing to tbs Iiiqsiisithii, and this is the prelu-le to
a spoliation fir mire considerable, which affects
the first classes of the State", and the plan of
which, it is said, is already agreed upon.

‘ A club of Lilm‘-ales (Jacobins) is openly,or-
gahized in Mulrid ; it t:.‘{el'CiSeS its influence o_-
ver the Provisional Junta ; it is a faithful portrait
of your Breton Club, of 1789. Various mem-
bers ofthe Junta go to this association to receive,
their instructions.

he will not communicate it but to the Cortéfa.

London, J1/[Til 7.—VVe understand, that in con-
sequence of an application from the Austrian
court to our government, requesting that more
indulgence should be allowed to BONAPARTE, or-
ders have been dispatched to St. Helena for that
purpose, and carried into effect. VVe learn also,
with much regret, that young Napoleon has not
been discouraged from euteriainiiig the utmost
hatred of the English, on account of the impris-
onment of his father. The boy lately asked why
he was not styled as before, the King of P-.it:1ne.?
He was informed that his title was abolished on
the imprisonment of his father. He then asked
by whom he was imprisoned ? and on being told,
by the Englisli, he put his hand to his little sword
and exclaimed in a rage, ‘ Ali! these villainous
English.’

Just before the hour of meeting last evening,
an event took place in the Chamber of Represent-
atives, worthy ofiiote, from its not having been
fatal in its consequences. _ The chain by which
was suspended the massive. brass chandelier,
hanging in the centre ofthe hall, gave way, as
one of the attendants of the House was lighting
the lamps, and fell with a force proportioned to
its great weight. The servant was thrown some
distance from the ladder, and escaped unliurt;
and although the members were gathering fast in
the hall, and the fragments ofthe chandelier cov-
ered a considerable space, it happened the seats
immediately withinits reach, were not occupied,
and no member was seriously hurt. A more
provitlential escape can scarcely be imagined ;
the weight of the chandelier being several hun-
dred pounds.

Nmveunx, May 6.—-The Fisheries haye never
been more productive than during the?-ipresent
season. Shad have been taken in unusual"abund-
ance, and have been plenty at 2 dollars" per hun-
dred ; herring at 1 dollar per thousand, and often
at half that price. Corp 50 cents per‘busliel.--
This almost sets ‘ liard tinzcs at dc;/iaizce.’

Money is so scarce in Ohio, that in cases when
payments have to be made at the land office, al-
most any sacrifice is made to obtain it. Wheat
in some instances have sold for 25 cents pet‘ bush-
el, and other things at the same rate. The laws
of" the state ‘protect both ‘real and personal prop-
eity from sales on execution.

CONNECTICUT LEGISLATURE:
, House or REPRESENTATIVES.
T1“-’8da!Ia May 9.--_On the second reading of
‘the bill (ititroduced by-Mr. Beers,) concerning
the distrib't5i_tion’of the School Illoney, Ur. ;

V Mr. Beers observed, that theimonies proposed
to be divided by the bill, were derived from two
sources ; (viz) from the Splzool Fund, so called ;
and from the «State Tax. From the School fund,
there was divided last year, ofinterest, about 57
or $58,000. From the State tax, (called ilie S2
0“ We W00») there was divided about 812.000;
making in the whole 69 or $70,000, distributed
to the schools in that year. Hitliei'to,'both have
been divided according to the lislg, or in olhcr
words, according to the supposed -wr—a.’l/i of vari-
ous school societies and districts. '
The mode proposed by the bill now before the
House, is according to the number of children
between the ages of 4- and I6 years, eiiiliraciiig
those ages who usuallyattendour common schools}
{these monies are really designed to etlurate
the cliilllren of the State, the true and correct
pririciple is, to seek out the Cl‘Iilt‘ll't:'l‘l ; and where
the children are, there let the money be distribu-
ted and expended.

As a part of the monies proposed to be divided
by the bill, (viz) the $2 on the 1000, are raised
by tax, some may believe that this ought to be
(ll\’l(lc(l in a different manner‘ from the interest of
the School Fund. . But as it respects the latter.
(\iz.) the 7':1llr.~sif arzk-it-'g}"1'cn2 l/zc .86/zoo! 1"u7i(l', I
think no i‘eti’soii-able <li{i'crence ofopiiiion can ex-
ist as to the true, equitable, and constituttional
mode ofdistribution. Let us inquire from whence
this Fund arose ? It arose from the sale of lands
called the \\/estern Reserve ;‘ a property which
belongs to all the people of this State equally, to
thejzoor as well as to the rfclz. The poor man and
the poor child had the same interest in it, as the
rich man or the rich child-aall ttere tenants in
coinmon-—all then are entitled to an rgual share
in the interest, without regard to their wealth or -_
their poverty.

But our Constilution lias furnished us a guide
for its distiibtitioii, and one which we cannot de-
part from. without a ,qi'css violation of that instru-
ment. Under the title ‘ Etlncation.’ it is declar-
ed, that ‘the Fund called the School Fund, shall
remain a perpetual Fttiid ; the interest of which
shall be imiolably appropriated to the siipportaitd
encouragement of the public or common schools
thiougliout the state ; and for the equal benefit of
all the people thereof.’ I repeat it, * for the equal
benefit of all the people thereof.’ Whatever
might have been legal, previous to the adoption
of the Constitution, we have now no right to di-
vide this money according to the suppostd wealth
of the societies or districts ; for such a distribu-
tion is un-eqtial among the people. The /war"
society, or the flat)?‘ district, is, by the Constiiuéi
tion, equally entitled with the rich. _ .
ftvlr. Beers spoke at length on the benefits that
would result to the community at large by the
proposed alteration. He thought that the $2 on
the 1000, aiising from the State tax, ought to he
(li\l(lt:(i in the same manner as the lnIt:l‘€I-it ofihe
Fund. No one, he thought, could oliject to pay-

ing a small tax, for so laudable a purpose-as to

educate the poor children of the state. He also
stated the dilliculty of distinct modes of distribu-
tion, and the impracticability of its being made
under the present law, as the" towns in their as-
sessments had nct classed themselves intothe
school societies, Etc. M r. B. enumerated the
principal fcaturt-s of the the bill. It provides
for eniimeration of all the cltildreii from 16 to 4
years of age--tliat the cnuineration be made on
the first hloizday in August, by all the societies
throiiglioui the state, to prevent niistakcs and im-
positions. The committees of school societies
would be able to detect niistakes, the enumera-
tion being made under‘ oath by district <'.oiiimit-
tees, and the iestilt rettirticd to them. Societies
are to iiitike out returns to the Coiitroller by the
l5tli ofbepteiiiber, that he iii.:;.* have l5 days to

Jllay l*2-——'l‘lie report of the Coiiimissionm of
the School Fund was read, and refei'red to a joint
committee. .500 copies of the report were or-
dered to be printed. »
A bill repealing that part of the law on E:-teen‘-
lions, i'equit'ir.-g that a copy of Executions levied
on land, shall be t‘ec0t'tle(l in the oflice ofthe clerk
of tliecourt whence execution issued, passed.
The bill appointing and EXL‘CtJllVe secretary,

Education -Society.

A petiiioii was presented by Nathan Po'rtei-and
others, praying to be incoi'poraied into it glass
nianufactuiiiig company. It was stated before
the house that by (or in) a large pond, partly in
Vvoodbury, and partly in Middlebury, there is
fotind an inexhaustible source of white sand, ve-
ry pure and free from dirt ; that on experiment it
had been found to make excellent flint-_Q‘laS$.~’—
The object of the coiporazireii was to mairifacture
flint-glass. In the vicinity of the pond was an in-
exhaustible sourcepf fur-.l also, which would be of
very little value for any other purpose, it being
lar from inaiket and diflicult of access. The
prayer of the petitioners was graiiied.

[No business of general importance was trans-
acted on Friday, Saturday and Moiiday.]

of a Senator ofilie U. States, for six years from
