Many corps have been observed drilling in this neighbourhood for souse nights past, and even during the day. In some places strangers have taken pos session of smiths' shops, who immediately fell to work in manufacturing pikes, &c. The times arc perilous in the extreme. We do not exaggerate when we say there are, at this moment, 60,000 persons in this city and the surrounding towns and villages, who have struck work ; many of these, not a doubt remains, have been compelled to join this highly illegal combination by threats; such an immense bully cannot, however, long remain inactive. it strong measures be not instantly resorted to, it is impossible to say when and where the mischief will end. tin iron foundry was last night broken into, in the Gallowgate, and a number of tiles, &c. carried off. It lire-arms were their object, they were for tunately disappoiuted, as these had previously been lodged in a place of safety.
