SCOTLAND. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, EDINBURGH. SPRING GUNS. Monday, James Craw, gamekeeper to the Earl of ,Home, was put to the bar, accused of wilful murder, having, on the Ist of February last, loaied a spring gun with ,powder and shot, which he placed i the Her sel plantations, and atoched a wire or string to the -.trigger, - wherby John Guthrie, son of the late James •Guthtie, carder in Coldstream, who tmving trespassed •in the said planation in quest of game, came in contact with the said suing, which caused the Rim to be dis . ;charged, and the contents lodged in the knee of the said John Guthrie—who died in consequence of the wound, •on the 28th March last. • The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Cocenunwsaid, that upon the main facts of this case—that a spring : gun had been set within the Hersel pLintation, and that:3 man had tome by his death in -consequence of trespassing, both parties were agreed. But there was still a grave, and hitherto untried, ques tion in this country involved, whether it was illegal to set spring-guns without notice, and being illegal, whe tf.ee it justified so serious a charge as that preferred against the pannel ? It was his opinion, and that of his Learned• Friend (Mr. Jeffrey), who appealed with him. that no Vet bal argument could supersede that more grave mode of disposing of new questions which was usual in that Court. The LORD AkovocaTa admitted that it was of great importance to htve a solemn decisi• , n of the Court on this questkn. He was not quite prepared to go into . . any lengthened verbal discussion, and should therefore agree to writtzn pleadings, provided that they wire .seen and intetchatigrd by an early day. The Coos'. then ordered informations to be lodged before the first and second box days—and the diet was continued against Craw till the 14th of November. MURDER. • Peter Moffat, juni.o, was next put to the bar, nn a 'charge with the wi fol murder of his lath: r, Moffat, late carter in Kilsyth, having, on the 2J day of April, 1822, assaulted and attacked the said l'e er Dioffat with a knife, or o her lethal instrument, and in fi cted several wounds in the belly of his father, whereof he died in four days Ihereafter. ."4 104 The fact having been proved y two iiitntsi Loan JUSTICE CLERK summed up, and the Jury, after in absence of a very few minutes, returned a verdict finding the pannel guilty as libelled." The Lone JUSTICE CLERK then mid the sentence of the Court, ordaining ihe pannel to be executed at Stirr ling, on Friday the ‘2Bth July next, and his body there after to be given to Dr. Munro for dissection. • The pannel is a very dull looking young man, about 21 or 22 years of age. He seemed to feel his situation most acutely, never lifting his eyes from the floor, and often shedding tears during the course of the day. We •heax that before the trial be anticipated the worst, and was. therefore prepared, in some measure, for the sen tenie of condemnation, which Le heard with apparent ,composure. His mother and sister were in attendance a, witiososs, but neither were called. After the trial was over, the-former had to be led from the Cotyt• room, suppottecl- by two men, apparently suffering an iadisiribable itenty of mind. , Such was the intensity of the heat on Wednesday, that several persons fainted in the streets ; sone apparently hale young man, while proceeding up Lonprane.from Smithfield, fell so suddenly, aild with such violence, that he cot his temple in a high ful manner. .

About half past two, on Wednesday afternoon, a thunder storm passed over the northern suburbs of the Metropolis, and, we regret to say, slid considerable damage. Judging from its effect-, the storm (if we may use the expression) was about two miles and a half in breadth, extending at one time from the New Road to Hampstead Hill. At a quarter to three the tempest was at its height. Two dense .clouds were seen ap proaching each other is on different tacks," and midway, between Primrose Hill and Highgate, they came in contact. The effects of the collision were awful; vivid lightning, peals of thunder, and the heaviest showers of hail ever witnessed in that neighbourhood, imme diately succeeded. The hailstones were as large as pigeons' eggs. At the two-mile stone on the Hamp stead Road, the storm seems to have been at its height. In the gardens ef Mr. Money, nearly opposite Chalk Farm, upwards of 200/. worth of glass was broken; in Mr. Browne't gardens, a short distance higher up the hill, the destruction was more complete; al most every square, of glass, many thousands in num ber, in his very fine and extensive green houses, arras destroyed, 'together with most of the valuable plants.— Toe extent of Mr. Browne's loss is said to be at least two thousand pounds. The storm continued its course in a north easterly direction, crossing Highgate, and could be traced in its progress from Hampstead Heath for several hours, nearly realizing is us Cocknies the description of an Alpine storm, as given by travellers; for from the Heath the lightning could be seen at the distance of several miles, and the rolling of the thunde: heard, gradually becoming less distinct, untirit imper ceptibly died away. Very little rain fell in the town of Hampstead, and not a drop on the Heath. At St. John's Wodd, Mary-la-bonne, the storm raged with the utmost violence, and in a short time, all the extensive gardens and nursery grounds in that vicinity presented a scene of frightful devastation. Evet y green house, hot-house, and all the glass used in the gardens were in an instant smashed to atoms. A Gentleman residing at the corner of Hall-place, Circus-road, had 2 000 squares of glass br.tken ; Mr. Anderson, fl Pine Apple-place, 30,000 squares ; Mr. Bell, Grove End-road, 2,000 squares; Mr. Atkin , on, Grove End road, 10,000 squares; Mr. Jenkins, Portman Nursery, upwards of 50,000 squares ; Mrs. Hogg, Grove End. road, three or 4,000 squares. The Greenhouse of Mr. Faithful, which was filled with the choicest plants, had every square broken, and the plants beaten to pieces. The private hcasses are also much iojured, the windows being broken, and the fruit in the g irdens completely destroyed. Mr. Bowden, of Elm Lodge, Grove End road, and many others, are considerable sufferers. At the Portland Nursery, Primrose Hill Road, Re gent's Park, the hailstones which fell there were of a very unticual Site, ahrie4'll such force did they descend, that the whole of the windifies - in the liot-houses, green howes, pits, frames, &c. film, amounting to nearly 4001. were in a few minutes -completely demolished. Its effect has been most severely felt by the proprietor of these premises, It. Hastings, a worthy, honest, and industrious man; he had only just, as it were, recovered from his former severe losses, when this lamentable event occurred, which has•proved most ruinous to him. Lieut. Colonel hall, of the Albany Riding Academy, opposite Portland-place, Regent's Park, had 371 panes of glass broken in his skylights and other windows be longing to the premises, and the horses in the stable were terrified beyond description. WINDSOR, Jurm '2B. The towns of Windsor and Eton wete this day visite.' with one of the most tremendous storms of thUnder and lightning ever remembered by the ()West inhabitant. About a quarter past two o'clock, an awfully vivid flash of lightning, illuminating the whole town, was succeeded by a report resembling a volley of the heaviest artillery. In a few moments it was ascertained that the electric fluid had clescended upon the malt house of Mr. Garraway, the Christopher Inn, Eton, with such force as to cause a wide fissure in the whole of the building, at the same time igniting the tiarbers, and threatening the safety of the adj ,cent buildings. Assistance was promptly renderei: the engines of the town and barracks hastened, with roost praise-worthy alacrity, to the scene of danger, and, by great exertions, tht ravaging; element was confined to the spot where it first broke out. One of the attendants, who was in a stable at the Christopher, has been seriously hurt, and two of the trees in the Great Park sere completely stripped of their fuliage. By accounts from Pete,rsburgli, dated the 6th of June, we learn that the E.operor NtOiroLAO has made an important alteration in the ciixninal law of Finland, that of abolishing the punishment of death in all cases except that of treason. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—These G irdens were numer ously attended on Wednesday, and anuniber of fashionable parties were present. The Concert continues eminently attractive. The entertainments were much applauded, and the utmost gaiety and vivacity prevailed throughout the night. His Serene Highness the Archduke CHARLES of Austria, and the Archduchess 11/INRIETTA, his consort, arrived at Vienna on the 16th inst. in good beaith. Lord and Lady LONGFORD and suite, Admiral PAR- Futand suite, Masters CUALSIRRS, Messrs GURNIXS servants, well in Dublin on Sunday, from }inland.

Last week the remains of the Hon. Mrs. STOURTON Vavasoa were Interred in the old Catholic . Chapel of Hazlewood Ibll, Yorkshire. There is a large burying ground to this Chapel the only one belonging to a Catholic Chapel remaining in England. During the sailing match, on Tuesday, the Mor ning Star, a vessel which accompanied the match, owing to a violent squall, upset, and immediately sunk. There were bye persons on boArd, one of whom, the Captain of an Indianian, was unfortu nately drowned. At the London Adjourned Sessions, yesterday, Ann Murrell, a complete Amazonian, was indicted for as saulting Wm. Byrnes, M fry ltymes, and James Pearce. The parties all reside in the same house together, and a quarrel ensued, when the prisoner seized a chair, and beat ;he three severely. She was found guilty, and, ifi consideration of her having been in prison one month s the Court sentenced her only to pay a fine of Is. On the 7th of this month, at 34 minutes past eight o'clock in the morning, there were two smart shocks of an earthquake at Smyrna,each of them was of about 15 minutes duration. • A plant caked the " epidenchiurn," a native of Java and the East Indies, is kept in houses, suspended from the ceiling by a string, where, from year to year, it continues to put forth new leaves and new blossoms, excited only to new life by the stimulus of thesurround. ing atmosphere.

Monday, a Detachment of 250 men, from the 32d Regiment of Foot, passed with their wives and baggage through Taunton, on their route from Plymouth to Halifax, in Yorkshire. The Re giment landed at Plymouth, about nine months since, from Corfu, where it had been stationed some years.

Detachments belonging to the sth, Bth, and 214 Regiments of Foot, received orders to embark yesterday evening on board a vessel in the River, for Leith, on route tts Glasgow and Edinburgh. That fine Regiment, the 60th, or Duke of York's own Rine Corps, passed through Cheltenham in *evebi Detaehmt nts on their route from Manchester to Plymouth. The Dragoon Guards, stationed in Shefficld• Barracks, under the command of Colonel WILDMAN, will march this week to their former station, at Canterbury.

The roguery was however frustrated, and thus the intended winners became the losers. It should never be forgotten that the man who is capabk of taking money to sell a fight, is equally capable of deceiving those who would induce him to be dishonest. " Honour among thieves," is not always to be depended upon.

BORROWED BOOKS.—Those who have collected honks, and whose good nature has prompted them to accom modate their friends with them, will feel the sting at an answer which was made to one who lamented the dif ficulty which he found in persuading his friends to re• turn the volumes that he lent them. " Sir, your ac quaintance find, [ suppose, that it is ersier to retain the books themselves than what is contained in them." A ROYAL l i tlisimur..--Our title of Solicitor-Gpkti was Once strangely mistaken by no less a peisonage than Frederick the Second of Prussia, the follosving anecdote is taken from a Publication, called tie, aid ic Anomalies :—" A great intimacy and friendship, pri• vate as w ell as political, subsisted between the late Lord Ashburnham (Mr. Dunning) and Colonel Barre. They travelled to the Continent together, and chanced to arrive at Berlin at the time of a grand review.— Being particularly desirous of seeing it, they found means of being presented to the King on the very ground. as two Englishmen of distinction, And Members 'of the British Parliament, Colonel Barre, as Colonel Barre, and Mr. Dunning as the King's Soliciter General. Frederick knew enough of Colonels and Generals to be caught by the sound of such titles, never dreaming that in this particular instance they were not equally mili tary ; war horses, richly caparisoned, piste immediately 3rdered for the English General and Colonel, and of necessity accepted. The Colonel rode Ike a Colonel, but the General no better than any other Solicitor General, and very unlike what the Prussian troops and Frederick himself had been accustomed twee in the field. '1 he horse on which he rode seemed to be under the same mistake as his Royal Master, and was not sparing of his military movements, to the no small embarrassment of his lawful rider, who being quite unused to such actions, had a great difficulty to keel , his seat, and in going through the variuus trianatavres which he had no means of controuling, afFotded consi derable amusement to the company at large.' POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 130W•STREET. John ragan, a will-known character to the police, was y e ss ert i al brought before Sir fficussin Hume, its the custody of Nichol!. a conductor of the patrol, who stated that whilst on duty yester t h ; morning about three o'clock, in Pall mall Bast, he met the primm e at the bar lurking about, and, knowing bins to be a huspictuu s character, he took him to &. Martin's watch-house, where he searched him, and found no less than eight silk pocket handktrch:r's on his person, five of which bear the initials of their owners. Ir conjectured that " the young Gentleman" was on bis return from Vauxhall with his night's booty, when Nicholls took iiim.,mder his surseillonts. The prisoner, who offered no defence, was remanded until Tuesday next, in the hope that some of the ow;:ers of the handkerchiefs will be forthcoming to identfy their property. HATTON-GARDEN. - . FILAOOS Old ens Gotosurrit's Coamter.—Yesterday Matilde, a watch case manufacturer, was brought before A. Luso, Esq. by Lloyd, one of the officers of this estahliAnievrt charged with transposing the assay, or Hall-mark, (ruin see. ' pieces of plate. The Solicitor of the Company attended for the prosecution. Mr. Harmer appeared on the part of the prisoner. Mr. Adam Thompson, in the employ of Mr. Veullimie, of Val' mall, watchmaker, produced a pair of gold watch-cases, which west brought to Mr. Veulliniie's shop by an errand man of the prisin.er's. on Tuesday last, the bottoms of which had the Hall-mark, hat lte wires or exterior rims had nor ; the bottoms had evidently bma cot out of other cases, for a fraudulent purpose. Mr. William Citty, of Bethnal Green, one of the d;,w•er c in t ;,.. Assay-office of the Goldsmith's Company, recollected five watch-eases having been brought to the Hall on the 23d o •, by a person in the prisoners employ ; they were assayed a,..1 stamped in the usual way, and delivered the same evening to tLe person who brought them. The watch-cases produced bore new rims, but the bottoms were the same as those assayed. Mr. Thompson said, that Mr. Veullirnie's books would prove the delivery of those casts on the day mentioned. They were referred to, and the entry was found in the French language, corroborating the fact. This is a very common practice, and there is no doubt that the public suffer largely from it. Mr. Harmer, on the part of the prisoner, declined making any defence. The witnesses were hound over to prosecute, and the prisoner was remanded for A week,to give time fur the production of other ch azes. Johat Newton Smarr, a clerk in the employ of Mr. John Wilson Mill, varnish Maker, of Maiden-lane, Batik-bridge, was charged with embezzling sums of money, the propel ty of his employer. Mr. Neik said, the prisoner had been in his employ, as traveller and collecting clerk, for nearly nine months, during which time it appeared that various sums of money had been paid on account, by different customers, which had never been accounted for by the pri soner. tie had already traced to the amount of sizty.four pounds, and he had no doubt but that a !peat deal more would appear to hive been paid in the same way, it he was allowed sufficient time to go round amongst the customers, which were very numerous. Theme was fully proved, and the witnesses bound over. . . The,prisoner declared, that what Mr. Nene said was not the fact; he had not defrauded him of more than fifteen or sixteen pounds,l which he intended to replace. Mr. LAING said, that sixteen punt!' was just the same in the eye of the law, as sixteen hundred pounds ; the quantum ot suns mace no difference in the quality ot the clime; and when melt begat. with small sums, it generally followed that they went ou to a much greater extent. The prisoner was remanded for a fortnight. fill A RLBOROUG 11-STREET. Neoxiestms Wom—Yesterday Mary Gouldeng, an interesting young female, about 18 years of age, was brought up on a warrant by Westcoat, the officer, before F. A. Hoe, Esq. tke sitting blagis. trate, for having neglected her employment with her employer, Mr. Wilson, milliner. Mr. Wilson deposed, that when the prisoner was engaged by hint, he stated that the regular hours of employ were twelve hour s per day. This, however, the defendant said she could not perform, when they agreed that' she should work ten hours a thereby averaging the six days as five, and for which she was to be paid at the rate of Bs. per week ; or if she made the six full days, she should have the Bs. per week, and which was ultimately agreed to. Upon Monday last he gave the defendant a particular sort of work, which was for Mr. Dyson, the laceman, and which was to go home as yesterday afternoon ( Thursday). Only one person. could be employed on it, as it was necsssary that the same sort of work should be in it, and which being a particular order, the defendant was informed 3( the circumstance. But on Tuesday the defendant, instead of coming to work, sent word she was ill, which he believed, and passed it by; but not seeing any signs of the deletniaat on the Wednesday, he went to where she resided, and discovered her washing, on which he instantly applied for a warrant, and had her apprehended. l'he order was of the utmost importance, and he was afraid that he should have it returned on his hands; and betides losing his business with Mr. Dyson,of whom he took on an aver:ge above 1000/. a year. The defendant, on being asked if she had any thing to say io her defence, replied in the negative. Mr. Rosa—Then if your master insists upon it, I must commit you to hard labour in the House of Correction. COmplainant.—l do nut exactly wish that to be done, althoagh perhaps a little punishment will be necessary, as an example to the rest. MR. Roc —You had better wait upon Mr. Dyson, if you think you gave the defendant sufficient time to perform the work in, and state how the case stands; and also inform him that if he will give you 24 hours longer to complete the work, I will let her go, other wise she will be sent to prison. The complainant then left the office, and in about half an hour afterwards returned, on which he said that he had stated to Mr. Dyson how the case stood, who had refused to allow the additional time, and also to take the work. Mr. Roe—Then I have no alternative left but to commit her, but which I wished to avoid, from her being a respectable person ; however, she must go to the Howse of Correction for eight days, and be kept to hard labour. The worthy Magistrate then inquired if there was any place set apart for those who were similarly situated to the defendant ftom prostitutes and others ; when the gaoler re plied in the negative. Upon the Magistrate's decision being made, the defendant burst Into tears. UNION-HALL. Several of the drivers of go-carts, who ply at the Elephant and Castle, were summoned on informations charging some of them with carrying more passengers in their vehicles than by law al lowed, and others of them with neglecting to have the nunabeis affixed to their carts. The Magistrate observed, that no set of men were more loud( complained of than the go-catt men, and he was exceedingly glal that the present proceedings had been instituted against them k was, be said, scandalous to see, on some occasions, the loads wince the poor animals were obliged to carry, and very frequently to s great distance. The worthy Magistrate then proceeded to inflict penalties of 54 each, and costs, on those defendants against whom the charges were made out and smaller fines were awarded again;t the drivers who neglected having numbers affixed to their carts t tite purpose of distinguishing them, in the event of their consmittin; any offence. Au eminent Barrister had, some years age, a case sent to him for an opinion. The case stated was the most preposa.ous and improbable that ever occurred to the mind of man, and concluded by asking, whether, under such circumstances, an action would lie ? He took his pen, and wrote, is Yes, if the witnesses will lie too, but not other wise MARRIED. Yesterday morning, at St. George's, Hanover-square, the Hoo. Mr. Moreton, son of Lord Dude, to the Hon.
