Yesterday, so early as eleven o'clock, the mob commenced
their outrages, by ittlackiwo a geolleastan who had acted as
a special conatable the previous nights; after being 1141•311 II•
I with stones he escaped with difficulty to the 'routine
lea. Soon after "the Radicals proceeded to demolish w in-
dare • about thirty. or forty boys brought large stakes,
feilltal from fences, towards the Council Chamber; the
elagietretet and special eamstables approached the mob,
and the stakes were soon is poosession of the police officers;
4he mob had then recourse to stows and brick-bats; the
rti.4 Art was read, and the cavalry, aided by a detachment
of the 80d, regt., preceded by the Magistracy and a strung
lady of special constables, advanced towards them : warn-
inc was given to disperae, which was answered by a shower
of atones ; the cavalry charged, followed by the infantry
and censtahles. The mob was their dispersed; the paroles
who went through the differeut at during the night,
were often assailed with stones from chaste, and in two m-
stare% were fired upon with pistols. All was apparently
quiet befere mideigh.
Last night, a considerable somber of villains, who had
in the Green with a view of joining the rioters in
Peed. y, r. weed to this city about seven o'clock, after hay-
ire been three miles net of town, and were joined at the
New Bridge by a crowd of others, perhaps in all about 3,000,
olio paraded the streets for SOW time, to the great annoy-
ance oldie peaceable inhabitants. It bring represented to
the Lord Provost and Magistrates, that a rust would take
place in cosisequence of the cavalry being sent to Paisley,
two troops were brought from Hamilton, and the Mack-
tratesoll the alert to preserve the public peace. At half-
past seven o'clock. information was received that great
crowds were assembling at the Old and New Bridges, and
at I imps, windows, &c. were broken on the opposite side
of the ('tale. Parties of the Magistrates went out to see
the elate asking', and on their return it was judged proper
to go the Black Bull Ina, in order to observe more dis-
t,nctly what was going ow. Two troops of the 7th 'inseam,
Vw Oils regiment, and the horse artillery, were ordered
o. t. Alton) nine o'clock, by order of the Lurd Provost, the
11:0! Act was read by &dike Alston. In a short time,
the cavalry assembled at the Black Bull Inn, waiting
far orders. During that period, glowers of stones were
thrown at the Magistrates, which obliged them to take she'.
ter in the lobby of the ion. Every thing was done to per-
suade the mull to diaperse, but to little effect. When no.
thing eke could be dune the cavalry were ordered to clear
the streets, which they did with the greatest promptitude,
and very few instances occurred where any hurt was sus-
mud these were from obstinacy or accidents, from
the darkness occasioned by the lamps being broken.
Almost all the lamps in the Gollowicsie, Siltmarket, Kent
rind Great Hamilton-dreg'', on the bridgs, and iii front of
the houses un both sides of the Clyde, were broken ; and
irnwsi.lerable injury was done to several shops in town,
elltou, at Greetthead, sod Tradeston. About 100 persons
st err appethended and sent to the Police office, sixty of
whom sere afterwards discharged ; and this morning the
Mag:strates and official persues are engaged in further inves-

We have just now learned that 210 public lamps were
I .at nomt destroyed by the rioters, besidvs a number of pri-
vate lamps.---( Glasgow Herald )
