GLASGOW. APRIL 13.—Eveximo.—Floutrly and momen-
tarily, night and day alarms are given.
Yesterday af'ernoon the rioters in Bridgetown and Cal.
ton, attempted to effect a general rising, with drums,
flags, and arms, but soon dispersed. In the evening
several shots were tired as signals, but no meeting took
place. In the inuriii ng. :bout 'lay light, between 30 and
40 rioters armed with gu:.., pistols, pikes, &c. marched
through the village of Condorrat, in military order,
the smiths' limps in that village hail previously been
taken possession of, anil used for making pikes. A roari
siderahle body of rioters were seen un the banks of the
Clyde, opposite Glasgow, this morning; many houses
in the neighbourhood were searched by them for arms.
A number of pikes were fonud along the banks of the
great canal, and [nought into Glasgow by the Sheriff.
Early this morning a party of Hussars and Riflemen
arrived at Lhinstoebar, and surprised a number of rioters,
most of whom 111.11, but nine were taken and carried pri-
antlers to Dumbarton Castle, three were left wounded at
Dunstiiebar. Had the Hussars arrived one hour coiner,
they would have surprised shout 300 of thou, at drill.
An extra patrole of 70 men parades the streets of
Glasgow; they, as well as the yeomanry and hussars
have been several times insulted by the rioters, some oaf
whom have been taken up for that offence. A party of
eleven, supposed to be a committee, were sent under an
escort to the police-office, one of the 10th hussars was
tired at from behind a hedge, dear Airdre. The per-
petrator escaped. Yesterday Calton and Bridgetown
were kept in constant ferment, by accounts of pretended
victories obtained at Kinyth, Paialey, and other strong
holds of the disaffected. About 200 men assembled at
Calton and Bridgetown, of whom about one half were
armed with pikes, blunderbusses, and pistols. In
Tradestown assembled, at the sound of a bugle,
armed with pikes. This day, being (lbw veil as a fast-
day. has gone off qiiietly, and it is hoped that the cot-
ton-milis will all r.--coniusence oinking to-morrow or
Monday.
STIRLING, APRIL 6.--A regular battle took place at
Bonnie Moor. yesterday, abort nine o'clock, between a
party of rioters from Glasgow and Kintigh, about ZAP in
number, who were on their way to Falkirk and Carron,
to rouse the workown there, and a party of Hussars.
They formed behind a wall, and when tile officer of
hussars ordered them to l.y down their anus; they an-
swered by treo err:. o for rounds of shot; they were quite
desperate, one fellow ran his pike into the Hussar
Officer's horse's breast, and attempted to fire in his face.
when a private Hussar shot him dead on the spot. Pour
were killed in all, and three brought in severely wound-
ed, and fifteen other prisoners. A but' of fifteen was
among them. and fired Pt shots ; shortly after this
affair. Captain Nicholson with his troop advanced upon
the adjoining where they were received by a
large concourse of people with screams, hisses, and
yells. Captain N. inameiliately formed a line, and ad-
dressed the multitude in a most manly and energetic
manner, expressing at the same lime the most comps.
sionate feelings towards the deluded people. His ad-
dress was listened to in solemn silence, and seemed to
pro lace great effect.

Our local authorities, with that regard for the,
prtiervation of pnblie tranquility tbr wide+ jbeiyl
are renowned, have thought' it necessary to fat{
very mach alarmed at certain risings wi.ich are skid
to be meditated in this neitrhbonrhood. In their
anxiety to save us from the danger with which they
only seem to be acquainted, they have in their
judgment pronounced our " garrison" incomplete
for the defence of the town against the Radicals
" in buckram," who are on the road to sack it. ,
The yeomanry are held on the alert for active duty,
and we are assured that the saretving members a'
this gallant corps manifested their usual eagerness
to stand forward and maintain their steady cha-
racter fin. " undebalehed loyalty." The special
constables have been formed into divisions in order
to be more readily disposable. The New Bailey
barracks are bristled with cannon and chez-aux
de frise and every precaution adopted to present
survrise. The 85th regiment marched into the
town on Sunday. And so far as military move-
twat', and police whispers can agitate the inhabi-
tants, no pains have bean spared to produce the im-
pression of impending dangc.r. (Alandseeter
