The proper and legal way of proceeding, in all cases ofthis kind, is the best. indivichsals may act as they think proper with re spect to their workmen, but for Gentlemen so en-• lightened as those of Glasgow, to enter into .a com bination against the workmen, is not wise, and cer tainly is not legal. Let the objectionable individuals be seized and punished according to law, and even let those who particularly employed them before, cast them off, if they please, for ever ; but' avombi natiou of this sort cannot be defended, and we trust the Gentlemen themselves will see it in this light. We are happy to see, from the subjoined *accounts, that the panic is over, and things returning to their usual course : . 1 FROM vas GLASGOW CHRONICLEorIATURDAY., 14 The appeal eaide by the Radicals to arm; is now confessed, even by those most addicted to v4onary' fear, to have failed. No One now denies chat the scheme was one of the -wildest and most ridiculous . ~~.- in the annals of the world. "'llse Radicals have had every opportunity that thercould wish for a Bill muster. Their ueason able placard was very geaerAlly perused on Sunday. For the three following dayr they were allowed to infest the streets, in obedience to its injunction to be idle; and when theyboisted their banners ef rebellion in Bridgetown,they remained threehours of thestreets or in theneighbourhood,unnsolested surd unquestioned by any person. So circamstaikecl;they would doubt* less bring forward whatever strength they possessed. Its nthnerical amount deserves to be waited. From Calton and Bridgetown there came ninety-five armed men ; from Gorbals and tr*destown, sixty ; those routed at Kilsyth were fifty-one; and if the forty men that appeared at Kirkintillech did not belong to Bridgetown, they *ill make a total of two , huedred and forty-six men, armed with pikesallsrlinaseeea. blunderbusses, and pistols; but of these ionlfety: one took the field. . .- 64 We have reason to believe, that the total num ber of members of the Union Societies belonging to Glasgow. its dependencies and neighbouring villages, fall short of a thousand. In the hey-day of Radi ealism they never amounted to fifteen hundred. That this small portion of the populatioa...;bout one hundredth part—should have ruled . initeriously the greater number of the working people, *orio cite surprise, if we did not every day witness bow easy it is for a few men united to dictate to the facile Public, midif we did not know that the commercial pressure must have enabled the Radicals to exotic:- rate their numbers, by confounding discontent with the wish for revolution. 64 4 Of the persons,' says Dr. Johnson, s who,ll 1780, plundered the Sessions-house at the 014,1)01* there were not, I believe. an hundred ;,ini*dielltit their work at leisure, in fell security, witVoselese's ads, without trepidation, as men lawfullisteaßlete4; in full day.

Yesterday, at half-past one o'clock, the Sizesit pirate, Justices of the Peace, and other Civil Qs. ems, assisted by a party of the lOils Hussars, the Bilsyth Yeomanry, and a party of tie Veterans, marched into Kilsyth, and searched many houses foto arms, when they found one pike, a few shafts, and a quantity of gun bullets buried in a garden,. and two muskets concealed in a dunghill. gi About five o'clock, yesterday morning, nearli forty armed men, accompanied by a leader, and beaded by a drum, entered Kirkintilloch, saying they were the advanced guard of a body. c Radicals from Glasgow, come to assist the people; whoa they un derstood .to be in a state of revolt About oni-third of the number had fire-arms, the remaTnaer pikes, of a very rude construction, old swords, hatchets, &c,— They remained about half an hour t every thing being quiet, and not receiving the least countenance from a single individual, they retraced their steps to wards Glasgow, along the banks of the Canal, seem ingly much disappointed with their reception. When a little way from the town, many wrenched the iron beads from their pikes, put them in their bosoms, snd threw the staves into the Canal. Many staves, a few pike-heads, and one musket, containing from siz seven inches of a charge, have been found. The use had generally the appearance of factory-men, sack as spinners, &c. The staves appear to have been asfd as searchers' poles, or for some similar purpose. They were probably fr3m Calton and Bridgetisrlf."

Glasgow rived at Strathaven, and with fine swilling accounts of undoubted success, roused the Radicals in !Ist* quarter. A party that night broke into theloust4 Mr. Cochrane,: hardware merchant there, and eir- , vied off a gun and a quantity of gunPOwder, and another party "visited the farm of East Overton, and tarried away a . gun. On Thursday morning the Regenerators began their march, all of them arntkd in one way or other, having a white banner, said,to inscribed Strathaven Union, Death nr Liberty.' In their march, they entered the house of Gavin Cowper, farmer, and demanded his gun, which 'IM. boldly refused. to deliver. The ruffians held thitz pikes and muskets to his bosom, and threatened hies{ with instant death. He still refused, and the bold:1 ness of his behaviour completely overawing the rag.; cab, they continued their march. On arriving lig Cathkin, they found nobody, and they histened back. On their arrival, the most guilty were seized by 4(1 4 special constables, who kept them in custody till t arrival of a party of military, - and yesterday teo %- them were lodged in Hamilton jail. Monday last a Rndical, armed, with a dable bludgeon, went into a cotter's hoe* near son Toll s .and demanded some moony:to 4rry on war.

A pop? . many pikes have been discovered.' • , f A member of the Upper Ward Cavalry has veered us with the following account of the proceed. ins at Hamilton ; 4 Han lkon, Friday. 4 The 01Beer commanding in Hamilton Basrukshad, ash is. reported, received information that the Radicals were to attempt tie capture of the place last night. However absurd the report, it was probably right to take measures for frustrating this daring attempt—sad all the Iroopi in the rarrison '(consisting of a strong party of unmounted Hussars, the Upper Ward troop of Yee ananry, upwards of 100, and as many from Kilbride, Camboslang, and the Hamilton Volunteers, and Staff of the Lanarkshire Mi litia) were ordered to lie on their arms during the night, with o horses ready saddled. A strong guard vrsi set, and parties ap- , pointed to patrol the goads in all directions. About eight o'clock. one of the sentinels beiMaging to the Hamilton Volunteeri, sta tioned on the side opposite the Barrack Gate, grown dizzy with his occasional walks on the top of the wan, and his fear of • Rsalicas, either saw, or supposed he saw, a man in the Park, and, fearful be Might take the place; fired his piece at him. In stantly the guard tamed out; and "to arms!" was the cry. Ilso Yeeinaosy were out in an instapt, with more speed than order to be sure, when unfortunately it was ascertained the alarm ear false. At three this morning, when those who menses an tlbe dui if the niiht. were getting a comfortable asp. the trompiti satin sounded to arms, which * alas! was again unfounded. 44 - Bree partyment to atrathaven and escorted the Police, who *might tp Hamilton ten Radicals, whose strength limited might be something net; that alipwed to nine tailors and an apprentice !' in the course of the day the Coostablos, protected byahe Mili tary, search.* }laminas for arms, and found three nid.fashioned swords, and an old pike, which had been kept as heir-looms since the batik of Bothwell Bridge!' FROM THE GLASGOW COURIER OF SATURDAY.. 44 This morning a party of the Hussars, Bike Bri-. Ode, and Dumbartonshire Yeomanry, went to Miln. gavie, about seven miles from Glasgow, where they made a search, and have brought into the city five pl.. :oilers, seven guns, and above SOO rounds of ball cartridge, which were found secreted in a haystaCk. A few of the ladicals had been at drill yesterday, but a great proportion of them had been expecting from the military, and fled the day before. Be-- . -.tvieen 400 and 500 had been regularly at drill for SQII3O weeks past. . . Wednesday night last, we. learn from various quar.l tors, was the period fixed.for a simultaneous attack . .upan this,City -by the Radicals. Cathkin Braes, about finis milmsouth, was the site chosen for their encamp: Mem. The Strathaven Division, between twenty and thirty, with such arms as they could seize or collect. grind there at the appointed time; but instead of ,tite many thousands expected to be encamped, they" Aid not meet with a single individual to welcome ;hem, and on that wet, boisterous, and dreary night, ,were necessitated to seek refuge in the woods. The, ;Radials, at last, finding they had been imposed on by a Delegate who had summoned them to the Meet ing next day, between one and two o'clock; left their: lonely and comfortless abode, threw away their arms, .sad disperaed. About a dozen of them were, on' :their return to Strathaven, apprehended by the artiefl trytenan of Strathaven parish, and car lied prisoners' a Hamilton.—Our streets have again aanunesl thesi l iri f o i rd a k ujet v ness.

The Staff of the Ayrshire and the Armed Association instantly as• sembled, and were under arms all night, and both have bets on duty ever since. The Yeomanry like. wise promptly collected, and a strong party of them immediately marched for Paisley - . During the nigh; a somber of the same papers exhibited to the Gentle.. man above alluded to, were stuck up by same trod known hands on different parts - of several towns hi t}e County, and next morning a Proclamation wag issued by the Sheriff and Prevost, for the purpose el counteracting these placards, and detecting their anthers.
