In London a ttifling disposition to riot was
exhibited IN the earlier part of the week. but
the disorders we're confined to few mischievous
boys and artisans out Of employment. Order
was speedily restored. In Glasgow the tumults
were more serious, and several persons have been
unfortunately shot by the military. The rioters
in that city were merely thieves who pundered
