his troop at Falkirk, was stopped on the high road,
within a few miles of Kilsyth, by a party of armed
Radicals, who 'refused to let him pass. He ;puled
back, and, on his return, met an Orderly of the Kil-
syth Troop of Yeomanry, who was on his march in the
same direction, with dispatches. The two Yeomen
went to Kilsyth, AnJ reported what had happened.
Lieutenant HoncsoN, cf the 10th Hussars, and
Lieutenant DAiIDSON, of the Stirlingshire Yeomanry,
immediately marched with a small party of each of
az:Le corps in pursuit of the Radicals, and overtook
them near Bonny-bridge.
The Radicals, on observing this, Cheered, and
advanced to a wall, over which they commenced
tiring on the military. Several shots were fired by
the soldiers in feturn, and, after some time, the ca-
ra!ry passed through an opening in the ,all, and
attacked the Radicals, who resisted until they were
overpowered by the troops. Four were wounded,
and one of th'im was left on the geld. Nineteen were
taken prisoners, and lodged in Stirling Castle. Five
muskets, two pistols; ei.ghteen pikes, and about 100
rounds of ball-cartridges Were caked.
" In this encovnter,'Lientensint Horicsox received
a pike wound through the right hand ; and a serjeant
of the Hussass was severely wounded by a shot in
the side, and by a pike. Three horses were also
wounded. Lieutenant HODGSON has reported to Ma-
jor-General Sir THOMAS BRADFORD, that no troops
could behave better than the whole party under his
crimand ; and a General Order has been issued,

leaders, but none having appeared, the command
was usually conferred on the greatest boaster, par-

discharged soldier, of the name of Baird, at Condor-

bined operation of 500 men for seizing upon the
Carron woiks, with all their iniplements of warfare.
A party accordingly marched from Glasgow for
this purpose; but, when they came to Cundorrat,
Captain Baird could only turn out six men, and two
of those soon sickened of the and went home.
A number of the Glasgow people must have also ie,

they were to be joined by the remainder of their'

Falkirk ; but none appeared ; and our wretched Glas-
