About 2co in Kirkwall have taken arms; and feveral boats armed, have alfo this day gone for Sanday. There is, however, no great fear to be apprehended from the Dutchmen, who have been wonderfully docile. They are without arms, and fcattered through the Wand.

Wednefday !aft, Matthew Smith, who was lately condemned by the High Court of Jufticiary, for the murder of a female infant child, at Paifley, was exe• cuted at the weft end of the Tolbooth, Edinburgh. He behaved in a penitent and resigned manner. He was a (lender man, about 28 years of age. On occa fion of this execution, it was remarked that the mob was nothing like fo numerous as ufually is the cafe on like occafions. Sunday morning the people of Mary-la bonne were entertained with a light that might not have been im proper altogether if it had not happened on the Sab bath. A man, who had been found guilty of beating his wife, was doomed by the fummary jullice of the mob, molt of whom were of the female order, to undergo a ludicrous puniihment on the large piece of watte ground in the vicinity. of Baker-flreet. The connubial culprit was furrounded by a very numerous body of the judge, and jury, by whom he was con demned ; and in addition to all the opprobrious ap pellations that female eloquence could fupply, had to endure the yelping of dogs, not without fomething of that difcipiine which he was accufed of having too feverely exercifed on his cara !pole.
