A requisition, already numerously signed, is circulating in Gorbals, calling

upon the Chief Magistrate to convene a public meeting, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament in favour of Vote by Ballot, and against the Corn-laws. This is encountering Lord John Russell on the two most obnoxious points of his speech—his shallow sophistry on the subject of the Ballot, and his assertion of the divine right of land- lords. The model of Mr. Grote's box, will, we believe, be exhibited at the meeting : and other district meetings will, we doubt not, be held for the same purpose.—Glasgow Argus, Thursday.
