(rrina The Timm) " This town has been in a dreadful state shire Saturday, and still continues so. On Saturday week there was to be a Meeting of the Weavers, to express their opinions respecting the late Manchester Meet ing ; but the day was stormy and wet, and the assem bling in consequence pot off for a week. Saturday proving a very line day, great numbers gathered in from all the neighbouring villages. 'They marched in order, with music and flags at their head, and with inscriptions on them. I noticed one with Justice and Liberty,' and another with the letters 4 R. L.' upon it. These two came with a motley group from Glasgow, and were allowed by the Civil Power to pass through the town without molestation. At the Meeting these initials were explained and commented on, and proved to stand for Rights and Liberty.' These flags were seized on the return of that party from the Meeting, and in consequence the disturb ance began. At Trine o'clock on Saturday evening the lamps were broken, and also the windows of the Town House. The Special Constables with great difficulty succeeded in restoring order that evening ; but on Sunday morning, when the report of what had hap. pened spread abroad throughout the country, the i people poured in from all quarters, and attacked the Magistrates going to and returning from the Church. By the evening, the town was in a state of uproar.— Between seven and e;ght o'clock, it appears, was the time they had agreed on for a general attack on all the most respectable houses and warehouses. In less than an hour all was fury and demolition ; many thousand panes of glass were breken. In the houses of two of the Clergymen, on account of the tenets they maintain, not a single pane was left unbroken. In the Town Chamber, the Public Coffee-room, and in all the Warehouses, more or less, on the Causeyside, the destruction has been nearly equal. " The houses of Mr. POLLOCK, in Maxwelton, and Mr. BUCHANAN, are a complete wreck. AU the houses were shut, and proclamations issued for the well-disposed inhabitants to assemble at different places. A party of cavalry arrived in the town on Saturday night, at twelve o'clock, and yesterday snore of the military were sent for. A few of the ring leaders were taken. Those who are most active are Glasgow people, and from the adjacent villages; " A Gentleman, who left Paisley on Tuesday morn ing, at half-past nine o'clock, states, that the town was then tranquil, but that large parties of people were assembled at the corners of the streets with no appearance of an intention of going to work." -GLASGOW SEPTEMBER 14. •1' W!-.- 0 (Pm* the Page" Clitysiok.) *The Meeting on Saturday, et the Me. Diil r. went peacefully off, and .the.Mentber,, spectators all left the ground in good order; but poor persons from Glasgow, in returning through Paisley, were stopped by the constables and deprived of their flag. A scuffle ensued ; and in a state of things so ripe for tumult, a mob soon collected, win doors were broken, the Riot Act was read, and the Military were ordered from Glasgow. On Sunday, the Magistrates, in_going to Church, were hooted by the populace ; and in the evening tlitelyork of demo lishing windows was resumed, and other enormities were committed. The Riot Act was read thrice, before nine o'clock; and the Military, in clearing the streets, were at one time seriously opposed by num bers who had armed themselves with bars of iron torn from the railing in front of a Church. Monday the streets continued crowded ; and the Authorities having procured a reinforcement of troops, read the Riot Act at two o'clock in the afternoon ; and about five the crowd were compelled by the soldiers, with the least possible injury, to leave the streets. Every thing continued quiet this morning. " These proceedings could not fail to awake inte rest in Glasgow; and a pretty general rioting corn menced last night. A great number of lamps and windows were broken, and other breaches of the peace practised. The perpetrators were doubtless the same persons who figured so much on the 4th of June, seizing every occasion of mischief, whether it is occasioned by a regard for Royalty or Radical Reform. About nine o'clock the Riot Act was read by the Magistrates, at the Black Bull Inn, and the Military immediately proceeded to the removal of the people from the streets. At midnight the customary peace was restored ; and this morning there is no appearance of outrage." (FURTHER PARTICUI .&RS raost THE SANfE.) Last night "Monday), our streets exhibited one scene of confus'on, alarm, and mischief. A body of men and boys, to the amount of nearly 3000, assem bled at the east end of the sown at darkening, from Bridgeton, Calton, &c. Paisley, it was urderstood, was their place of destin ation. On their way through Gallowgate-street, they left oaly six whole lamps, and at eight o'clock that part of the• town was In complete darkness. Breaking Tamps Trongate, Candleriggs, Argyl e-street, Stockwell, Glasiford street, they proceeded to the west end. of Trades town, leaving not one on the bridges. Ott arriving at Bridge-street, they assailed the Methodist Meeting House there, while , the people were at worship, an 4 broke almost every window. The windows in Clycit , street, West-street, Dale-street, and Kittep-strest,l were more or less broken, and the shops ck littgON and --. DUNN, bakers, • were broken ;ntn, and bread and other articles carried away. Jorge COCHRANE, spirit dealer,• had his house . completely emptied of rum, whisky, porter, /se. and the jars I broken to - pieces. In Calton several shopkeepers' shops were ransacked, led the windows of many re , spectable inhabitants broken. At the Black Bull, the Itiot Act was read blt- the Sheriff at nine o'clock, and the streets, which were in the utmost confusion with depredators and women and men, who had collected from mischief and curia sky, were cleared in a very short time. Two pieces of ordnance, accompanied with a body . of Infantry, and a troop of Hussars, were speedily brought out. We have heard of no particular accident further than at a fire which happened in a small wright's shop in Stockwell, which was soon extinguished several of the Military, by the' throwing of stones, from a new building there, were much annoyed and hurt. Seve ral of the inhabitants' received slight sabre woonds; but, owing to the good conduct of the Hussars, which deserves the highest praise, nothing of a seri ous kind happened. At two o'clock this morning, The Military retired, leaving a small picquet behind, and till this moment all remains quiet. The house lof the Rev. Dr. M , Leasr, Gorbals, was also 'assailed, and the whole windows in the second floor broken Two hundred and twenty city lamps have been de molished. During the night, upwards of 200 men and boys were made prisoners. They have not yet 'beer; all examined; but of those more than 90 have 'been sent to Jail to undergo a strict precognition. Those found in the new house corner of Stockwell . have been wholly sent to prison. At this place the (rioters th r ew a fence, made with tresses and masons' lislanks, at the time the fire was burning, across the street, to prevent the Cavalry and the firemen from a dvancing ; besides the military, many of the firemen' have got themselves much bruised, as those of the mo b w ho had climbed up into the interior of the new building threw stones indiscriminately on those in the streets. The night was exceedingly dark, and the mob rendered it still more irksome by attacking every win dow in their route, even at the height of three stories;' in which the light was not put out at their approach ; this, with the horrid yells they emitted, swelled their numbers almost to infinity in the minds of the terri n fied inhabitants. When the fire-drum beat, it was, 'conceived that the Revolutionists had set fire to tba toWn, and that all was over. The real depredators had retired previouily to the reading of the Riot Act, and the majority of the prisoners were mere spectators, apprentices, many of whom were drawn from their homes by the report of fire. Mint 60 of them were discharged this morning at one ecto - o. GLASGOW, SEPTEMBER 14. - (Freon the Glasgow Giffin%) 48 Last night a considerable number of villains, M. had collected in the Green, with a view of joining the rioters in Paisley, returned to this city about seven o'clock, after having been three milestint - of town on the road to Paisley, and were joined at th New Bridge by a crowd of others, in-al} three thousand, who paraded the stre ets some 'time, to the great annoyance of the peaceable inhabi tants. It being represented to the LORD PROVOST that a riot would take place in consequence el the absence of the Cavalry at Paisley, two .... . _ • . . , ght from Hamilton, and the Magistiapplyare all on the alert to preserve the public pew.. , 44 At half-past seven o'clock, information,. was cowed that great crowds were assembling et` glisiOld and New Bridges, and that lamps, windows, 'lke. were broken on the opposite side of the Clyde.,.Psz • of the Magistrates went out to see the state of . •, g s, and, on their return, it was judged pryer Tg sto the Black Bull Inn, in order t o observe aid* st j 'nctly what was going on. Two troops of tkeltb Ussars, the 80th Regiment, and the Horse Artit. key, were ordered out. " About sine o'clock, by order of the LORD PRO VOST, the Riot Act was read by Bailie ALsTON. In ' short- time the Cavalry assembled at the Black Bull Inn, to wait for orders. During that -period shdwers of stones were thrown at the Magistrates, which obliged them to take shelter in the lobby of the Ina. Every thing was done-to persuade the mob to disperse, but to little effect. ~ . 4 88 When nothing else could bider*, the Cavalry were ordered to clear the streets, which they did with the greatest promptitude; and very few instances occurred where any hurt wad sustained, and these were from obstinacy or accidents from the darkness, occasioned by the breaking of at least two hundred of the putiic, and a great number of the private lamps in the Gallowgne, Saltmarket, Kent, and Great Hamilton-streets, on the Bridges, and in front of the houses on both sides of the Clyde. Consider able injury was also done to several shops in Town, in the Calton, and at Greenhead and Tradeston. 84 About one hundred persons were apprehended , in the course of the night, and sent to the Police Of fice, sixty of whom were afterwards discharged; and this morning the Magistrates and official persons , are engaged in further investigation."
