Athices from Glasgow report the failure of J. Anderson and

Co., merchants; W. and A. Taylor, manufacturers; M'Phail, spinners; Gilmour and Kerr, the same; and T. Waddle, merchant. The liabilities of Anderson and Co. are stated at 170,0001., of which 60,0001. is in bills on Cotesworth.

Some discharged navigators on the line of the Caledonian Railvray have become outrageous. A number of Irish who had been paid off, resolved before departing to "pay off" the English and Scotch portion, for some real or imaginary injury. Accordingly they made an attack; and having been repulsed, they retired, with the intention of renewing operations after nightfall. A. party of cavalry from Edinburgh put a stop to the project, and peace was restored.
