rity required in the War Department to attain these and other important ends , tho languor and hauteur in the late regime were onlv observab ' e . Many other reasons for incessant and wpll . direcied efforts in the Ministry of War existed , to which , as they are not specifically alluded to in tbe journals , we shall nm here refer . The distinguished vetemn at the head nj the War Department is said to enjoy ths entire eon fidence of the nation , but we find thit more of life , vigour , strength , and promptitude ! tbat had not been displayed since the revolution are expected ia him .

LATEST FROM PARIS . Northern Star Office , Saturdav morning , Mar . 4 th
ARRIVAL OF TIIE EX KING AND QUEEN OF THE FRENCH . Lwris Philippe and his . Consort arrived at Newhaven , on the Sussex coast , at noon . It has been known for some- days that the Brighton and Continental Steam Navigation Company ' s packst ? , besides other steamers , had b ^ en sent to the French coast f r the purnose of buinging away any perrons , Englishmen or French refusers , who muht bes ekintt means of reaching our shores . One of these fva ' s , the jLVewhaven , Captain Moor ? , had been cruising under orders from the Euilisti j Admiralty several days along the c-iast < -. f Havre ,: St Vallery , St Mslo , Dieppe , and Trelport , as we now learn , with the special object ot taking on j board his Majest y , the ex-Kins-, Falling in this j object the vessel was on Friday sent from Havre , j by the Endish consul there , with despatches from j the French to the English Government . j
Mean-while , the Express , Southampton steamer , was cruising off the coast , near Ilonfleur ; and on ThvMday afternoon , jnst before dark , ( ell in with 3 fishing boat . romwhich the captain wa ? hailed . Itcontained , 3-es r ] es the crew , five persons , whoprovec to be the ex-King and Queen of the French , ane their attendants . They ware immediately tak' -n OL br-ard , and tbe vessel turned towards England After steaming the whole night , the Express arriyec at Newhaven at seven o ' clock , on Friday moaning
but , owing to the state ofthe tide and the weather tha vessel coa'd not safely enter the harbour until nion . Soon after eleven o ' clock , Mr Iron , secretary of the Brighton atid Continental Steam Navigation Company , put off in a shore boat to meet the royal fugitive ? * , who had by this time left the steamer in ose of her boats , and havin ? addressed Louis Philippe , offering him every facility and assistance ^ it was possib'erbr him to afford , returned to _ receive him and his suite on shore , which he did in company with a ff w other i-entlemen . ^ I
Ac twelve o ' clock the king and qu ? en , with fou attendants , one of whom was a female , stepped fron the boat at Newhaven bridge . Louis Philippe ap p = ared extremely delighted at having reached ih < shores of Engl ind , and expressed his pie sure ii Tery warm res to those around—not more thai half adr-zen >> -sides the persons already mentioned Though cheerfu he looked pale . Our corresponden was one ot m . > -e who heard nia exclaim , in reply t ( a ramark fr . om one of the persons present , ciipgrtta latins him on bavin ? reached this country : 'Ye ? yes . I know I am safe among you—a great misfor tune . I know the English people ; th ° y are kind t ( those in misfortune' He shook hands with all those who offered their hands , as did the queen . _ Sann one said his anxieties were now ever ; to which h «
answered , ' Tes , I have suffered much during the past wesk , —but the country people were very kinc to me , " meaning the peasantry in the neighbourhood of Honflenr , in whose houses he had been secreted in disguise . In this disguise he now appeared . It consisted ot a oi-ieen blouse , dark trousers , a red and whit' ' comforter , and a casque tie , or peasant ' s cap . Over the blouse was a pea coat , which had been borrowed from the captain of the Express . __ The king carried a small cane . The queen was attired in mourning of the humblest kind ; consisting of a black bonnet , a very thick veil , and a woollen cloak of black and white plaid with broid checks . She looked much care-worn . The whole of the lugea ^ e which the party brought was a small portmanteau about aftnt loan .
While they were walking towards the Bridge Inn , Louis Philippe was very anxious to obtain a London morning paper , but appeared to be quite cognisant of the latest events in Paris . On reaching the inn the party was received by Mrs Smith , the hostess , and the first act of the ex-Km ? was to call for writing materials . ' I wish , ' he said , ' to write to the Qneen , ' to inform her of my safe arrival . ' He then wrote , in a very short time . ' more than one letter , and enclosed them in one envelope , which he addressed to her Majesty . With this despatch Mr Iron instantly hastened to town . So destitute were the fugitives of what was necessary , that Mr Iron was coramissioned to return with several articles of under clothing , dressing-cases , etc .
The party having partaken of a little wine and biscuit , a London paper was brought , over which Louis Phili ppe glanced . He had previously sent to Brighton for Mr Packham . This gentleman mas at onetime very much in the confidence of his Majesty respecting several engineering projects , being a miii ' er and a tenant of the king , on an estate near te the Chateau d'Eu . He has since retired from business , and resides at Brighton , but was , up to last week in constant communication with the king . Indeed , he was closeted with Louis Philippe at the commeccementof the outbreak , and on making some remark respeetasg it , the king exclaimed , ' Oh , it is not-ninff—it will soon blow-over . '
At thr- -e o ' clock the Hon . Captain Hotham ( one of the directors of the London and Brighton Railway , and chairman of the Packet Company ) , left Brighton by special train for Newhaven , taking with him the carriage built ior the Dachess of Kent , to be placed at the service of the ex-monarch . Soon after ED expre- * train starter ! with a second parcel of de ? - pa ' . che from Louis Philippe b the Queen . The Sussex Express cives the following particulars ple = ced by its reporter , who was introduced to Louis Philiape by . Mr fackham .
Upon his congratulating bis Majesty upon his safe arrival , ihe Xing of the Trench replied , 'lam ebhgsd for your kind hospitality and congratulations . ' The queen was engaged in writing during the interview . His Ksje & ty was appparently in good health and spirits . Early on Friday morning a steamer ivas seen off the harbutir , and at ten o ' clock the captain of tbe vessel came as ' Eoru and engaged apertments at the Bridge Inn for a family , observing a d : gree of caution which rather excited suspicion tbat the family about to be ' anded from the * t < -amsr was connected with the French refugees . A fly was shortly afterwards sent to the pier , and E-iert ' y aftsrwards a fishing boat came in with two laoi-.: a anil three gentlemen . As the boat approached the
shore Mr Thomas Stone recognised his ll & j-sty . Mr Sims , tbe landing waiter , had the honour of handing the royal party eshorc , and congratulating them upon thi-ir safe arrival . His Majesty seemed much agitated . On his entering the Bridge Inn Mr Thomas Stone said , ' vHcome to England , yonr Majesty . ' Upon which his i'j-ety replied , ' I thank you—1 thank you ; I have al A-ayi felt pleasure in coming to England . Thank God I Jtn in England ence more . ' Mr Stone then said , ' We will pr & rtfet your Majesty , ' The King repeated , roach agitated , "I thank jon—I thank you . ' The Q-ieea 1 seemed much pleased , and expressed her delight at the ' wcrcn reception which had been given her . It was evi-1 deat that ths royal fli g ht was wholly unprepared , as no ! Iuigage whatever was landed .
The custom-house oficers offered tb' ir services to his "Majesty , Several parties bad interviews , among whom i-w .-ra Mr William Catt and Ur Cole , both of whom bis IMfcjesty recognised , The inhabitants of Newhaven ( Offered tbeir services in every way which thiy thought lmightcor . ' ucetathtcomfortof ; he illustrious personage . . —His Ei ^ hick forwarded to tbe apartments a chest of ( Clothes for her Majesty ' s use , but they were respectfully { declined , -ill these various traits of good English ihospitality completely overpowered the feelings of both 1 tfc * ir M . ijtrsties , who in acknowledging them were mffected even to tears .
Sis o ' clock , —During the afternoon several parties bad i interviews with tbe King , wi'h which his M .-ij-sty ises-m-fd much gratified . Br Cry and G . Molineus , "E- 'n „ wcrs- introduced hybis Msij -sty ' s attendants , upon I which Mr llolineux said , ' We congratulate your Maijeny u ; . on your safe arrival in England , where great t amice ; i' . as been felt for > our welfare . ' His Majesty ret spondee ? . ' I am highly eratefied with the reception I Jhuve had since my arrival , and feel greatly obliged for j joiir kind attention .

remain at the latter place two days , when finding tbey could not embark they returned to Honfleur . with the intention ol embarking from that place , but the weather still continued very rough , and the King t ' earins tbat the Queen in her exhausted condition would be unable to bear the fatigues of a roueh passage , deferred his departure till the weather changed on Thursday . In the meantime information was secretly conveyed to the Express , S . ti ! ti >; impton steam-paefcet , that thev would be nqaived to lakea party from Uavrc to England . On Thursday afternoon the gentleman who sheltered the dethroned monarch and his consort at
Honfletir engaged a French fishing boat to _ convey rhe party from Ilonfleur to Havre , a < d fearing that ¦ n this am . 1 vessel the features of the King might be recognised , the gentleman ensjaecd an interpreter to interpret French to ihe King , who . to render his disguise more complete , passed as an Englishnmn Nothing of moment transpired on the passage to Hivre . where the express was waiting with her :-t ? am up , ; ind at nin > - o ' clock on Thursday evening the roval fugitiees and suite sot sail for Enalaild . The vessel reached Newhaven h . trbour at SCTeu o ' clock on Friday morning , but owing to the state of the tide they could not enter the harbour til ) nearlv twelve o ' clock . We may here state that the ex King was accompanied by General Dumas and General Rumigny , M . Tburet ( valet to Louis Philippe ) and a German lady as larfy ' s maid to the Queen . This comprised the whole ofthe party who Hid with Louis Philippe .
ARRIVAL OF M . GUlZO'l ' . M . Guizot arrived at Dover on Friday morning by the Viiie de Bruges steamer from Ostend . The ex-minia ' er travelled to town by the 4 pm . express train . On his arrival at the London bridge terminus he was received by Mr MacGregor and the officials i > f the company . M . Guizot was recognised by the by-staneiors , and there was snme slight cheering as the cani ^ ge in which he rode drove out of the station . A Frenchman present , however , exhibited an opposite feeling , and cried out A has Guizjt ! ' The ex-minister was enveloped in a large cloak , and carried a glazed portmanteau . He looked careworn aud ill . Pams , Friday , Nine A H . ACKNOWLEDGMENT OP TIIE FRENCH
REPUBLIC BY BELGIUM . In tbe Chamber of Representatives , on Thursday , M . Castian made a speech eulogistic of the people and provisional government of France , and the speaker then proceeded to ask the cabinet if the existence of the provisional government of France had been notified to the Belgian administration ; and , if so , ^ hat reply had been given . He also asked questions respecting the arming of the for tresses , and the recent arrest of various persona in Brussels and other places .
M . D'Hoffschmiot , Minister of Foreign Affairs , stated , in reply , I will not enter into any discussion respecting the grave events which have passed in France , or the reflections which they have suggested to the honourable member ( M . Castian . ) Up to the present time ( continued the minister of foreign affairs ) the government has received r . o official or direct notification of tho establishment of the new government . But the Prince de Ligne ( the Belgian ambassador in Paris ) forwarded to me yesterday the foliow'ng letter , which he ( the ambassador ) received from M . de Lamartine :
Monsuur 1 Ambassa : eur , _ I have the honour to inform you that the provisional government of the- French Republic has entrusted me with thepor'efettiUe ot foreign affairs . The Republican form of ihe new government has neither changed the posi-ion of France in Europe nor its sincere disposition to maintain its friendly rv > latt ' ons with those powers which liko France desire the independence of nations and the peace of tbe world , I shall be happy to concur , through all tbe means in my power , towards promoting that concord of nations in their reciprocal dignity , and to remind Europe that the principle of pesee and the principle of liberty had birtb on the same day in France . —Accept , M . I'Ambossndear , etc . , < fcc , signed LaHabtike , The conclusion of the letter was greatly cheered .
M . D'iloyFSCHHiDi ( in conclusion ) : The Belgian government has requested the Prince do Ligne to reply immediately tu M . de Lamartine , in order to informhim that tbe Belgian government has received with much pleasure the assurance given bj-the provisional -government ; that ; France is actuated by sentiments favourable to the independence of territory and the peace of the world , sentiments which resnond so well to those of Belgium itself . M . D'Ooff-chmidt then proceeded to state that precautionary measures had been taken in the fortresses on all the Belgian frontiers indiscriminately , that Belgium could not inter / ere in the affairs of other countries , nor busy itself with the form of government they should think fit to adopt .
On Thursday afternoon Lord Norraanby had another lorn : interview with M . de Lamartine . atthe Hotel des Affiires Etrangeres , when the ambassador cummunicJited the substance of despatches he had recciren from Lord Palmerston , the tenor of which was , that according to the diplomatic usages , a temporary government like the present was one to which a regular ambassador could u ^ t be accredited , but that Eigland nad no intention or desire to interfere in any measures which France might take in Che formition of a new government , and that whatever the forms of that government might te , the ambassador should bs accredited to it as soon as it was regularlyconstituted . _ It was added that in the meanwhile the most amicable relations between the ambassador and the provisional government would be maintained .
A delegation from the operative classes waa assembled at the Luxembourg on Wednesday , and a meeting ofthe masters and employers met in the same place yesterday , both under the presidency of MM . Louh Blanc and Albert . The immediate result of these meetings has been , that the provisional government have decreed that tho working day in Paris shall be reduced from eleven to ten hours , and in the provinces from twelve to eleven hours , and that the emplojment of workmen by intermediate Cashmasters shall be abolished . Nothing is said in the decree respecting the rate of wages , but it was understood that , for the present no change in the customary rates will be made .
The Paris papers of yesterday are crowded with proclamations and decrees of the provisional government , with adhesions to the Republic , and with despatches from the provinces proving that the recognition of the Republic was universal in France . " Parisrras perfectly tranquil . The re-organisation ol the army and the training of the new National Guards were proceeding satisfactorily . The public were paying , with unassembled good will , the taxes in advance . Switzerland is in ecstasy at the late events in France .
A rumour has been spread that Baden is in full insurrection . The tri-colourci flag , it . is reported , is displayed in Mayence and Darmstadt .

fay introducing Mr White to ihe meeting . Mr W , commenced by pointing out tbe fundamental rightt of man—explained what tbe social compact ought to be , and proved that it was a nulity ; showed the overwhelming distress which existed ; cited several heart-rending cases in England and Ireland ; commented on the state of trade ; and showed the utter hopelessness of it ever being resuscitated ; the rtckle-ii tyr- 'finy which existed in the manufacturing districts ; and proved that the English Parliament ano government was nothing more than a hutie machine by which the people were plundered , and murdered by slow starvation . Mr W . dwelt at great length , and in forcible language , on the rottenness of thtwhole system . Lie then referred to the glorious re
volution in Paris , and asked them whether they were not in a worse position than the French ? Whether they really sympathised with such a noble aci soul-stirring deed ? Tbey often heard the bonsi o : EiijJitdibriiYery and great prowess , but he thought they were a nation of willing slaves , for at that moment tiity were paying for an a « 3 'ium for that castaway tyrant Louis Philippe .

rjJE GREAT OPEN . AIR MEETING IN TRAFALGAR-SQTJAKE . —BRUTALITY OF THE POLICE . InconsCQUeneeof Mr Charles Cochrane having advertised a public meeting to bo held in Trafalgarsquare , on Monday , March 6 th , at one o ' clock , 'To demand the repeal of the Income Tax , or the immediate surrenderor the reins of government by the Ministers , ' an immense assemblage of both sexes were present ; in fact , from the Union Club on
outside to St Martin ' s Church on the | othcr , and from the Natonal Gallery to below . the statue of King Charles at Charing-cr . 'Ss , waa filled with human beings . Meanwhile Mr Cochrane , who had called thy meeting , never made his appearance , for the Home Office had raked up an old obsolete law , 5 f Gaorge the Third , chap . 19 , and the commissioners wrote to that envct to Mr Cochrane . Mr Cochrane therefore abuuduned his intention , did not attend the meeting he had called , and sent out instead a number of men carrying tbe following placard : —
The commiaeloners of police having ileclared that tbe public meeting to be held this day in Trafalgar square , against the Income tax , is Illegal , Mr C . iehrane respecttally , bat earnestly , requests that the public will not congregate or remain in the square , but return quietly and orderly to their homes . Ho deeply regrets , in consequence of tho decision of the commissioners , ho has put the public to bo much unnecessary inconvenience , — Monday Morning , March 6 , 1848 , This announcement was received with indignation by the people , who tore the bills to shreds , and determined on holding their meeting ; when Mr G . W . M . Reynulds , tlis author , was called to the chair , and several able addresses were delivered , congratulatory ofthe French people—against the Income Tax—dolnunciatory ot the present system t , f taxation—iu avour ofthe People ' s Charter .
Mr Wilson made an excellent speech ; and resolutions and a petition were adopted . The meeting gave ' thundering cheers for the brave Parisians , and the People ' s Charter , and the meeting was then peaceably dissolved , on which Mr Reynolds was cheered up the Strand to his residence in Wellington-street , where he addressed the people from ihe balcony of his houso . About three o'clock , as the meeting was dispersing in the utmost order , some sleek well-fed man asserted that the people assembled were lazy , and would not work—that they could get work if they wanted it , which caused an indignant fetling , and he was reprimanded for his libellous language on the suffering sons of toil . Some -light excitement having been created , the police commenced a violent and unprovoked interference . When remonstrated with by the people , they drew their staves , and began an onslaught , cutting and wounding the peonle indiscriminately in all
directions . The people , astonished at this uncalled for outrage , stood to their defence , when a body of tbo 'A ' division of police , who appeared to have been icady and prepared for what happened , marched up in a body . But the people closed in upon them '; the space which they cleared , one moment , was again filled up—and they were driven back to Scotland yard . Strong reinforcements of police now poured in on all sides , as at a preconcerted signal , and commenced a fresh attack on the defenceless populace . The police then pulled down the boardingon the north side of the Nelson column , and occupied the enclosure . The police divisions from A to F were brought out and numerous captives were made , while frequently the maimed and bleeding victims of the brutality of the police were carried to the hospital . Some of the Coldstream Guard ? mixed among the crowd , and became exceedingly popular .
One ofthe dail y papers saya of this disturbance' Had the rioters shown a little more pluck , they might have madetheir demonstration something mote formidable than a street row . ' By six o ' clock the populace showed every inclination to desist from violence if left unmolested , but , after this time , some turbulent characters ! mixed with the people , evidently not belonging to those who had taken part in the magnificent demonstration of the day . They began tearing down and breaking some of the lamps . The police having been again brought out in great force , some severe skirmishing took place , and * heavy blows were exchanged on both sides . Men , women , and children were now savagely assailed and struck by the police—even passers-by merely going on their own business . Seven or eight persons are so much injured , that they were removed to Charing-cross hospital tobave their wounds dressed . One poor boy was so badly wounded , that little hopes of his recovery are held out .
The people became once more exasperated , and shortly . bafore nine o ' c l ock , a detachment of the crowd , consisting probably ot 200 persons , dashed off towards Pail Mall , amidst loud cheering . Many of them were _ armed with pieces of wood , snatched from the palisade at the Nelson Column ; and as they proceeded along the Mall , now and then broke a street lamp or a window . Several squares of glass were broken at tbe Reform Club ; indeed , all along , as far as St James ' s Palace . A portion of the crowd entered St James ' s Park by the Duke ot York ' s Column , and another portion by Stafford House . Here they destroyed a great many lamps , and at length a cry was raised , To the Palaco . ' In the direction of Buckingham Palace they accordingly
proceeded , breaking almost every lamp in the range lining the south side ofthe walk , thote on the north being left untouched . In front of the palace two or three of the large lamps were demolished ; the guards were called out , and tbe crowd passed out at Buckingham-gate into James-street , and some evil disposed persons who had joined them demolished a considerable number of shop windows in tho lower part of James-street and York-street ; they also forcibly entered one or two bakers' shops and demanded and obtained bread . In one shop they contented themselves with taking four loaves , but at
another , alter the baker had thrown out to them a large quantity of bread , they demolished his window . In one instance only , they also stopped at a publican ' s and a few of tbem compelled tbe landlord to regale them with boi-v . Proceeding by this rouie through Westminster , they reached Strutton-ground , when a party of police encountered tbem and took one or two into custody . They then rushed round Westminster Abbey , got into Parliament-street , and thence found their way to Charing-cross , from which they had originally started . Here tbey gradually diminished , and by twelve o ' clock Trafalgar-square was almost entirely cleared .
Tuesday—In the morning a few boys had gathered together at play in the square , and were playing at horses , around the fountains , and some of them tore pieces of the boarding that bad been damaged the preceding evening , tbe police appeared in large numbers , composed ofthe ABODE and F divisions , under the command of Mr Commissioner Mayne and Superintendents Hayes , Pearce , Hughes and Beresford , and chased the boys round and round the square , but , not content with this , they used their staves with brutal severity , and several were again taken to hospitals bleeding and maimed , About 3 . 000 police were in the neighbourhood . This atrocious violence soon attracted a crowd , and shortly before 12 o ' clock some stones wero thrown from the terrace , B y five or six a large body had assembled and moved down Whitehall and Parliament-street , —and by this time the police had been wisely somewhat withdrawn , and in oroportion to their withdrawal , order was restored .
On Wednesday great excitement prevailed—but tbe police , seeming to have had somewhat of a lesson , did not obtrude , and consequently , there was comparatively quiet . In the evening , however , a body of mounted police , armed with cutlasses , rode through the principal streets , at the west-end of town . ' The only effect of this demons : ration' says a daily London paper , ' appeared to ua to be that a crowd ot gaping ragamuffins wero thus collected , who might otherwise have been tulr ' ing up their usual lodging under the dry arches of some of the metropolitan bridges . Indeed , we greatly ques'ion whether the presence of the police in huge numbers liaa not had the effect of very much increasing the original excitement . ' -
Indeed—the whole disturbance ) owes its origin to the infamous and brutal conduct of tho police , and calls for a signal reprobation from the entire people , who would be slaves and cowards to permit such indiscriminate bloodshed . The Daily News has the following letter , from an important person , and a member of the wealth y circle , < -n tbo proceedings of the police in Trafalgar-square . Tbey may justly be culltd the tfunicipal Guard oi London . TO THE EDITOB OF THE OAILT NEWS .

Commotions At Glasgow. On Monday A Large...
COMMOTIONS AT GLASGOW . On Monday a large portion ofthe destitute unemnloyed assembled on Glasgow Green , in order to take steps for laying their circumataucee before the roagistra'cs , and other memoers of the Relief Committee , who thoy were informed , had upwards of £ 2 000 m their hands for such objects of relief . An immense concourse was as . -embled iv twelve o ' clock , they were addressed by several speakers of thoir own order , at tho close ot which the immense mass proceeded through the Green up into the principal streets , iirel from thence thoy waited upon the leading authorities of the town , when it ia understood that . Hot having got a satisfactory answer to their demand
for immediate relief , they were greatly annoyed . Tho crowd after this proceeded , by way of Neil-onstreet , into Tronga ' e and the principal streets , where th » y broke open baker > ' shops , victuallers' shops , gunsmiths' shops , and all the prominent warehouses where they could find either food , guns , or pi > t'ils . We may mention that the violence was not partaken in by the unemp ' oyed directl y , except in so far as the bread ghopa were concerned ; but the thieves and blackguards < -f the town were the real depredators . Tho military were called out , also the police , and the wealthy inhabitants at once came ? forward to aid the authorities to put down tho emeute . At the hour wo write the streets are still crowded , and not
quieted . All tho shops are shut—business is completely suspended . The Pest Office deliveries have not been sent out this afternoon . A number ef mm have been apprehended . Ni ^ ht is coming on , and it is impossible at present to say what may be the ultimate result . Besides breaking open the shops , several carts laden with meal were stopped in the most public streets , and completely emptied in a few moments . An express was f ent to EdinVurgh for a portion of the military stationed in that city , in addition to the forco in Glasgow .
The first shop broken open was that of Mr Anderson , baker , Trongate , from which a large quantity of bread was carried off ; from ihence the crowd proceeded to the shoo cf Messrs Young , Gallowgate , whence they carried off several guns . Tho riot then . -issumed a much more serious appearascc , as the gathering was joined by a number of unemployed naviuators and other parties , and who were not inhabitants of Glasgow . They then proceeded to enter a number of bakers ' and provision shops in L-ndons'reet , Argyle-street , and Buchanan-street , breaking the windows of the bouses as thoy proceeded . At tho foot of the last named street they seized acart ailen with mea I , which was soon distributed amongst the women and beys . Amongst other shops enten d were those of Mr B . Mu- 'trove at theTros . * , Mr Landeils in CandleriggP , Mr Martin , in Exchangesquare , Messrs Paton in the Salt-market , where a great number of fire-arms were taken . A few
shots were fired as the crowd _ proceeded onwards , at the same time cries were raised of 'Bread or Revolution , " Vive la Republiqoe , ' and others of a similar character . The alarm by this time was widely sprsad ,. and the shops were closed in many parts of the town . The police could do little against such a body , so tbat the military were called out , at five o ' clock . A strong body of infantry , followed by a troop of cavalry , marched along the principal streets ' , headed by Baillies lirown and Orr . -The riot act having been read at the Cross and . the Exchange , steps were taken to clear those localities . In the meantime other bodies of the people proceeded in different directions , entering ^ provision stores and other shops and warehouses in several parts of tbo town . During the evening the crowd in the streets was very great , and the greatest alarm was felt . At the time the mail left a large reinforcement of troops was especled from Edinburgh .
Another writer gives the following account of the causes of this outbreak : — Considerable excitement has prevailed for some days among the unemployed , of whom there are several thousands in Glasgow and its suburbs , and for whom no public provision is made by tbe Poor Law system of Scotland . Repeated applications having been made to the magistrates without producing any effectual relief , tbe unemployed resorted last week to the expedient of holding meetings on the Green ; and on Saturday night a distribution of meal took place in tbe City-ball , by order of the authorities . It was also announced that soup kitchens would be opened to-day , for the relief of the ablebadied in a state of destitution . Tc-rlay a large crowd accordingly assembled at the City-hall to obtain the soup tickets , but from some cause or other these were not prepared for
them-LATER PARTICULARS . Outrage by the Out-Pensioners . —Five Psrsoks Murdered . Tujbday , Onk o'Clock—The military nnd outpensioner * are still under arms . Rioting has now commenced at Bridgeton , where an attempt had been made to stop a mill . The out-pensioners have behaved with unexampled savagenesa . They we ' re ordered to fire by Superintendant Smart , ofthe Calton police . A poor old man wasshot through the head ; his brains and blood bestrewed the pavement at the corner of Muslin-street . Another youneer man had also betn shot , and three young boys , who chanced to be near the place where the people were assembled , were shot , but were still in life . The
excitement amongst the working population from the mills , who by this this time were collected in crowds , was very great . The out-pensioners , to the number ot eighteen , who had committed this act , under the orders tf Superintendent Smart of the Calton police , quitted the scene amidst the shouts and im orecations ofthe people , and made their way into Glasgow at double-quick time , followed by Dr Campbell , who had examined the bodies . About fifteen minutes afterwards a troop of cavalry , with Captain Pearce at their head , entered Bridgeton at a canter , ana were received by the populace with great cheering . In the midst of the display , one of the dead bodies of the men who had been shot was carried down Main-street on a deal
board , supportid on tho shoulders of six or eight men , and followed by a concourse of mourners , who ever and anon shouted ' military murder ! ' The dra « oons at once made way for the passage of tbe mournful corteqc , by taking the oppos ite side of the road , so that tiie body andifci fu'lowe < $ > passed without interruption . On inquiry amongst ^ 'he peoplv who were assembled at the different come of the streets and on the pavements , we ascertained hit the cause of the shooting was , that a number of hoys bad , in the first instance , commenced throwing clods and stones at the out-pensioners , that one boy was made prisoner for so dointr , that tho crowd effected his rescue , and that Captain Smart gave e > rders to firo , when live individuals fell after the first discharge .
Thus this sanguinary policeman ordered troops to fire on the people , because a few boys threw mud and stones . _ One of the persons shot ( James Alexander , provision dealer } was , until one o ' clock in the morning employed an a constable for preserving the peice , and on this occasion he had just come out of his own shop , to dissuade the people from standing in the streets . At the time wo left , tho factory workers in that locality with horror and trepidation , were point ing out to each other the place where the old man ' s blood was spilled , and truly a lamentable sight it was to look upon .
Foon o'Clock . —There is still greater excitement amongst passengers on the streets , as' to the events of the day—tho shops and warehouses are now entirely closed—large bodies of military parade th < - leading localities in all parts—the banks and principal public offices aro guarded wi * h military , and the Glasgow Police office has more the appearance of a barracks than that of a place for the reception ot prisoners . WKDNEsnAT Morning . —During the greater pnrfc of the night the people remained in possession ot the streets . Two men were seriously injured yesterday by the cavalry when ordered to clear the street * . Wednesday , 6 p . m . —The magistrates have issued a proclamation this afternoon . All is quiet at this hour . LATEST PARTICULARS .

Street Fighting. The Following Extracts ...
STREET FIGHTING . The following extracts are taken from the leading article of the U . mtkd Irishman , published March 4 . Referring to the conduct , of the French people in their coiiflicts with the troops , the writer thus proceeds to point the moral : — Thfy know well that if railroads , telegraphs , mails , boar-Is , councils , and centralised innti ' . uiona of one sort or another , enabln a King , or Yice-Kinp , a government , or ( i ivernor , to sit in a capital , and therefrom rule a whole land , tho . . place at the mercj of tbe citizens of that capital tbe whole government of that land—tbat , In fact , to rnaater Paris wus to tnaater the existing go . rernrnent of France ; bs if we seized Dublin , we would hold in our gripe Engli-h rule in Ireland , i b head and body and limbs—to clioke it , or let it off again , as we
pleased . A centralised city , which thus enables a government to send its orders to every point , and bring its engines and mercenaries by steam frsm t-rery point , is also , for these reasons , admirably adapted to be cut off from every point by a people within . The Parisians accordingly blocked up or destroyed every road leading into the city , seiz .-don the railway stations nnd burned some f . f thi-m , tore up every railroad round Paris , broke down embankments , and out through bridges with ease and dexterity . Paris was thus isolated , and tbe cili . sens and troops within left to fi |? ht it out . Should any trt . in , laden with voraaious mercenaries dash on there , puffing and panting and screaming , it and its burden would tumble down to Erebus of its onn accord , without troubling any one .
The city ( Dublin is supposed . ) _ beins ; now cutoff from without , the ' work within is simple enough . ' And here ia the ' work' suggested by Air Mitchell—1 , Every street Is an excellent shooting gallery for disciplined troops , but it is a better defile in which to take them , In the vacabulury of drilling there is n 9 such phrase as ' Infantry—prepare for wlndow . pots , brickbats , logs of wood , chimney-pieces , heavy furniture , lightp-ukerB , & g , ; and these thrown vertically on the heads of a column below from the elevation of a parapet or top story ere irresistible . The propelling forces , viz ., ladles or chambermaids , or men , who can do no better , have the additional advantag * of security ; and the narrower the street and the higher the bou-: e , tbe worse the damage and the greater the security . A military proportion we recommend to the study of the beat lady ih the land .
2 . Bottles , delph , and such missiles , mixed with these , or of themselves , not only knock down and wound infantry , but render the streets impa-aabie to cavalry and artillery , A . horse may dance on eggs , but no squadr -n can charge over broken bottles . Artillery cannot ride oter them , nor i & det-d can disciplined footmen keep the step , or tread among tbem , with ease . These admirable weapons abound in every home ; and if any engineering urchin take a soda water bottle , or small flask ef thick glass , dry inside , filled with bite of gtone or iron , or metal of any sort—nails , for Instanceand with coarse gunpowder thrown Into the interstices , cork it tight ( the cerk being perforated ) , and then at .
tach a judiciously adjusted fusee , he will possess a domestic bomb or grenade , by which he can either' blow his arm off iir act with deadly effect against cavalry or infantry below , especially against cavalry . To those missiles , from windows and housetops , revolutionary citizens add always boiling water or grease , or , better , cold vitriol , if available . Molten lead is good , but too valuable—it should bo always cast in bullets and allowed to cool . The housetops and spouts furnish in every city abundance ; but care should be taken , as they do in Paris , to run tbe bulls solid—sou cannot calculate on a hollow ball , and that might be the very one selected to shoot a field officer .
3 , The Parisians never fall into this mistake , viz ., to attack barracks or forts , in tbe first instance . Their plan is to draw tbe soldiery into tbe narrow streets , where they can only advance a few abreast ; and where lanes , alleys , and streets , running at angles , afford excellent oppcrtunlties of taking them in flank or rear . Street-fig hting is most harrassiugon disciplined troops , especially when subject to the attentions of heads of families from housetopg and windows , as we have shown above . They are divided—disjointed—worn out doing nothing .

Assembly Booms , 83 . Dean-street , Soho , Feb 20 th . —Mr John Milns was unanimously re-elected treasurer ot the Westminster Land Branch , and Mr Grassby was also unanimously elected secretary in the room of Mr T . Pickersgill , who goes to take possession of his allotment at Minster Love ) . Mr Wilson then gave notice of the following motion for next Sunday evening : — 'That it ia the opinion of this locality , that unless the members of the Laud Company , commence Redemp'ion Societies and make weekly payments thereto , there will be no possibility ofthe sixty thousand members being located for very rrany years ; wo are there / ore of opinion , that Redemption Societies should be recommended for the consideration ofthe next Conference , I lie same
to . be based on the plan of the building societies , to terminate in twelve years' . Mr T . Clark appeared on behalf of the Directors , to explain their motive for writing the article that appeared in the Star of the 12 th ult ,, commenting upon some observations said to have been made by Mr Grassby . —Mr Grassby stated that he never did complain of the Directors running into the country , he merely stated in reply to those that did say so , tbat a resolution was passed at the last Conference requesting them to remain in tbe office , and although such motion does not appear in the report of the last Conference there is something implied by the observations made , to warrant tbe belief that such wa * the understanding . Mr Grassby said ho consideisd tbe letter of the Directors an attempt on their p ? rt to prevent an independent man giving expression to his sentiments . lie was also of opinion that his
name being mixed up with the DifFATACH would create an opinion in the country tbat he was a partisan of that paper . He also thought the concluding portion of the second paragraph to be both vindictive and uncalled for , Mr Grassby also contended , that there never would be any real satisfaction with the reports of Conferences until such time as there should be a supplement of the Star , containing a verbatim report of the whole proceedings from an accredited reporter—the extra expense of such supplement he believed would be cheerfully paid for by the members ; if this had been the case at the last Conference , much of the variety of opinion that has lately been expressed would have been spared . It was then proposed and seconded , ' That it is the opinion of thia locality , that even supposing it be true , that Mr Grassby used the words as stated in tho Directors' lettor , we are of opinion that their letter is too vindictive and uncalled for . ' Mr Clark
stated that tiie Directors were be-und to notice the observations of Mr Grassby in the manner they did , or tha people would-suppose that thev w .-. re continually running into the country and neglecting the business of the Company , fie waa also of opinion that no such motion had passed at the last Conference as Mr Grassby had alluded to . Mr Clark said , if Mr Grassby had been wrongly reported he was sorry for it , and if such was the case , no body of men w & uld be more willing than the Directors to- mako the
amend honourable . Several of the members gave their opinion that Mr Graaahy had not used the words as sot down at tho head of the Directors ' letter , and com plained that the speech of Mr Cuifay and others had buen lelt out of the report . An amendment waa then moved and seconded : — ' That a ; i it appe-trs by the explanation of both parties that no injury was intended on either side , it is the opinion ¦ f this locality that the subject had better bo set tit rest . ' The amendment was earried by a large milieu it-y .

The cattle market , however , generally speakiinr , very irregular during the day . With sheep we were subject to a very limited supply , which is unusual at tuis season of the year ; topping southdowns were taken off the hands of the salesmen at 58 8 d per stone , and coarsewoolled wethers at as 2 d per stone . Business in fleece samples was anything but passive . In the coarse or « nother six weeks wo shall be lucking out for lambs , when the prices of mutton may be expected to give way in fa . vour of the former class of meat . Calves were in mode , rate supply , and the most approved samples found purchasers at about a crown per stone , but ordinary real left off at a dull course of di mand . In pigs we had more than DEU ^ l stock , and our last week ' s currencies have sustained no manifest alteration . Prime ynung porkers
were efte-cted at 5 s per 81 b ; coarse articles hardly occupied a bidding . The quantity of cattle thrown into the market thii morning may be summed up , in relntion to the d-ffcrent grazing pastures throughout the United Kingdom , as is aunexed : -From the north of England , about 1 , 00 : '; from the western and midland districts about 50-J ; from the eastern counties , 1 , 050 , more or less ; from Scotland direct , "by steam navigation and railways , about two score , in capital condition ; and the rest , consisting of both oxen and cows , were made up from the Continent , tbe metropolis , and its suburban localities . The foreign side of the market was but scantily furnished with offerings , nor was the condition of the same beyond mediocrity . There were somewhere about seven score of Dutch oxen aud cows , twelve score and a half of loose formed sheep , and a middling display of large calves .
