The column of regular troops gave way ; the militia adtaatted with boldness, and entirely dispersed the enemy.

Yesterday, owing to the fate rains, the Clyde was very much swelko, and large readies of ice came down the river during the whole day. The pieces were often plied on one another, and presented the meet faistastic shapes as they separated from each other. All the three bridges were thronged by hundreds of admiring spectators. About 2 o'clock a load of ice came in view with the tee and circle that is around it for it mark to curlers. ..no. iee accumulated at the Broconlelaw `to such an esti* that the water rose from four to six leer higher at the head, than it was at the foot of the Quay. At' a quarter past nine, the mass of ice aid water bunt . with a tremendous crash'. The sloops, with one ex. ception, stood out : the shock; but warps, hawsers, cables, chains, timber beads. and palls of the Steam Boats, gave way in every difettion. A dreadful icons of confesion and alarm followed. Ten steam boats were forced from their moorings. and carried down the rivet. They had been previously secured with the greaten care. The Wateeloo was moored with a 9 inch -bowler, a 4 inch warp, and besides had out one of her bitiverenchor with a forty fathom chain, yet the whole gave way. The steam heats have been all more or less - injured. One was forced down to Bowling, two were brought tip at tiavan, and the others are lying indifferent places in that neighbourhood. 'The William and Betsy, a sloop belonging to Dumfries, loaded with grain, was carried down, it is believed, to Dumbarton or Greenock. and the Ring,Dove, a Brig' from Peterhead, had two sideplanks stove in by large pieces of ice.
