A Chartist Convention is to be held in Glasgow on the 14th of Au- gust. Thirty-eight places have promised to send Delegates.

Great excitement prevailed in Forfar during the last week, occasioned by a number of individuals withdrawing their money from the banks and converting it into cash. Bills had been posted throughout the town, published by .order of the National Convention, of Bolt Court notoriety, which intimated the necessity of the people providing them- selves with arms, and taking their money from the savings banks, without delay. The result was, that the greater part of the ehartists who had any money in the banks withdrew their deposits ; which they .converted into silver, and kept back from circulation. This led to a temporary embarrassment ; so much so, that the banks had to procure silver from other quarters. The appearance of the silver allayed the panic, and there is now little or no difficulty in the way of discount.— Dundee Advertiser.
