RIOT IN AIRDRIE.

We regret much to state, that a serious riot took
place in Airdrie last night, attended with destruction
of property. It seems that on Wednesday the mili-
tary, so long stationed in this district, were withdrawn,
and this circumstance, added to reports of a renewal
of riots in the neighbourhood, put the town all yester-
day in a very unsettled state. In the afternoon, upon
the arrival of five prisoners in custody or sheriffs' offi-
cers, who had been apprehended at Ballochney, ac-
cused of intimidation, the shopkeepers, who were
apprehensive of a riot, shut their shops. At this time
a number of the unemployed were congregated in
various parts of the town, and a rescue of..the
pri-
'soners was understood to be resolved upon. Upon
the prisoners being brought to the town, applica-
tion was made to have them lodged in one
of the inns until they could be examined by
the authorities, but this, it is said, the innkeeper
refused from fear of the mob destroying his
premises. About this tame a band of about 400
strange colliers, apparently from the east, appeared in
the streets, and the officers in charge of the prisoners
immediately took them to a public-house adjoining
the inn. After some consultation amongst the mob,
the result was, that a rescue was determined on, and
accordingly the house where the prisoners were con-
fined was attacked, and,tas great resistance was offered,
it was some time before an entrance was effected,
and the prisoners liberated. The house was com-
pletely gutted, and the liquor, furniture, glass, &c.,
carried off and destroyed. Before this was aecom•
plished, the Magistrates met opposite to where the
crowd had collected, and read the Riot Act, but as
they had no force at their command, they just had
to look on, during the time the destruction was
going forward, without being able to put a stop to the
lawless proceedings. Before the house was gutted,
the sheriff-officefs repeatedly fired out of the windows
to intimidate the crowd ; but to this they paid no at-
tention whatever, but proceeded determinedly to effect
their object. Whilst this was going forward, the Ma-
gistrates sent expresses for aid to the Glasgow police-
office, and to the Sheriff, but before any force had
arrived the town was quiet. The cavalry did not
arrive till this morning. We are informed that the
Secretary of the Colliers' Association was appre-
hended in his own house late last night, and com-
mitted to the jail, but we have hot heard upon what
charge. The town is quiet to-day.—Glasgow Chro-
nicle of Friday.

(From the London New Price Current of September 27.)

large, have.caused the trade to come forward reluctantly,
although importers have been desirous to sell, and have

presented a dull appearance, both grocers .and refiners
operated with caution. The arrivals continuing, large,

chases are only 250 hhds and trs.

sale of 100 hhds Barbadoes Sugar, and the prices ac-

For all sorts of Brazil many inquiries have prevailed,
and the parcels offered have found ready purchasers at

This afternoon there was no public sale; privately se-
veral inquiries existed for all s6rts, but the stiff rates

against business: a parCel of, low and middling white

Id to 1-id under those of the last auctions. On Pouchong

tained the previous value.
To -day the transactions were extremely limited• in

THE HARVEST IN SCOTL-
(From the Scotsman.)
The harvest is now over, the fields bare, and
grain crop beyond the 'reach of injury: ' The 1.'1'"5-
tive quality is admitted on all hands, and so far lic,
has been yet thrashed out, the yield on the barn-
is as ample as the quality is fine. - •

The weather still continues excellent for the Py)l

now beginning to be more frequent, thoughk.
