THE ARMY. Six Cotripanies of the 13th Reginilent, quartered in Stirling Castle, have received the route for Edinburgh Castle. The first three companies set off on Thurs day. Several companies of the 4th Veteran Battalion; at present quartered at Ayr and other places, have re ceived orders to join the Regiment at Stirling Castle. Y.sterday six hundred of invalided men from Chatham were landed at the Tower Wharf, and the - whole (except those will could not walk and were conveyed in coaches) were marched to Chelsea, under the command of a Major, in order to pass the Board to-morrow. Many of them wore the Waterloo medal. The detachment was composed of men from the fol .lowing regiments:-21, 6th, 7th, 11th, 21st:, 24th, '26th, 37th, 64th, 661 h, 68th, 70th, 76th, 83d, 54th, and 88:h, infantry: 4th, Bth, and- '2lst light dragoons. They have all been in foreign service. THE QUEEN. The Rev. Mr. FELLOWS performed Divine Service' brlore her MAJESTY, at Brandenburg House, on Sunday. During the day, a great number of persons wai:ed upon her MAJESTY, and had the honour of being introduced. At three o'clock her MAJEATY sat down to dinner with a select company of friends. In the evening she sat upon the lawn. A vast num ber of most respectable persons came up the river in boats, and stopped opposite to Brandenhurgh House, eager to catch e”en a distant sight of the QuEEN. On Saturday a courier was sent off to Italy, with dispatches for the pet sons employed to bring over the QUEEN'S witnesses. Numerous Addresses ate coming in. About one o'ilock yesterday her MAJESTY took an excursion on the Thames, attended by two of the foreign Ladies of her suite, Colonel OLIVIERA, Mr. Avsrtx, Sic. Her MAsErry is in excellent spirits, her only source of regret being the delay that has taken place is bringing on her defence. At about six o'clock yesterday morning the Dover nail-coach drove rapidly np Downing -street, with several Italian witnesses ; but, on their arrival at Lord • CASTLEWEAGR'S office, they wereordered to be taken to the depot in Cotton garden. These witnesses are presumed to be the pe: sons who, having taken fright at Beauvais, returned to Milan, and is expectation of whose art ival the Arrohxkv-thlNt km. requested a delay of four or five days. Although they have come tco late for the trial, they are in time to obtain their travelling ex' enses. Our late excellent Mo narch, GEORGE 111. was once, after purchasing a horse, presented by the dealer with its pedigree. Take it back," said he, laughing—" it will aro as well for the next horse you sell." So we say to the .ATTORNEY-GENERAL--" Don't fret about the late arrival of your witnesses: they will do as well for any other trial !' SPOR77NG IMILLIOENC.S. BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S YESTERDAY.

During the first and second heats a young man received *kick from a horse, which broke his leg. It was near dark before the Races were ended. BOXING. Saturday evening two young men of the manses of Bartholo mew and Garthshore, having quarrelled at a public-house in New irrton, about a reckoning, they agreed to go to a room in the vicinity, and fight it out for their week's wages, as bricklayers. They fought hard, but unskilfully, one hour and a half, in which they were more bruised by falls than by bitting. In the 57th round lit.rtboloniew fell in a close, and became senseless. A surgeon was sent fur, but the man was dead from a fracture of one of the vessels of the brain by a fall on the temple. New MATCH.—The Master of the Balls, it seems, Is about trying to obtain another batch of good luck, if his opponent, until Hudson, does not turn out too crusty for him. The latter also asserts that he intends to cut and come again at the Loaf, or be floored for his trouble. "If he wins it," Llar. observes, "it will be bread to him." The stakes of A5O aside are to be made good this evening. It must prove a hard battle. A RAPACIOUS FISIL A singular circumstance occurred a few days since, at the Devil's hoint, &onehouse > A man fulling there observed a very large conger in pursuit of a smaller one. The latter hav ing no resource, threw itself upon the rocks • but its foe eagerly followed it, and having Warn it In two, ca rried away one halt, leaving the other half for the astonished fisherman. IDENTITY OF A DOG. POLICZ Orme, Harrow-Gaium.—Testerday, George Rip. ley, Esq. of Euston-square, claimed a fine Newfoundland dog, which was in the possession of Mr. Summers, of Skinner-street, Somers' Town. Each produced respectable witnesses, who swore to the dog being the property of both the complainant and defendant. Mr. Ripley, and his witnesses, called the dog by the patriotic name of Cato; and Mr. Summers called him after the philosophic Plato, to both of which (no doubt from the simi larity of sound) the animal readily answered. The Magbtrates being unable to decide, the dog remains with Mr. Summers ; but Mr. Ripley threatened to bring an action for his recovery.

NAVAL WTELLIGENCE. • • .. TRIeILB Al' FORK, PM HIGH TREASON. YORK, SAM MY Emma:. " In addition to what I wrote you of the pro ceedings of the early part of this day, I have now to state, that all the prisoners, as was expected, entered pleas rd . Not Guilty. The Counsel assigned them are Mr. WILLIAMS (one of the Counsel for her MA iiSTY), Mr. BLACKBURN, and Mr. STA au*. Mr. WILLIAMS, however, has not yet arrived. Mr.STARKUL oared a plea in abatement against the Indictment which includes the Huddersfield rioters, on the ground that the germ should have been laid not generally in the parish of Huddersfield, but in the township or townships of that parish, in which the alleged acts of Treason were committed. The plea stands over for the consideration of their Lordships on Monday. " All the prisoners are of the working classes, mostly weavers and spinners; and, if we may judge from their exterior, are rather in comfortable cir cumstances. Canastive, the Most active among them, and a sort of spokesman for the rest, is a good-look ing intelligent young man. " I have not been able to ascertain whether it is the intention of the prisoners to challenge singly or separately ; but there is no expectation of the trials being over in less than eight or ten days at the least." ' , EXECUTION OF BAIRD AND HARDIE, FOR HIGH TRE4SOSV. Andress) Hardie and John Baird, two of the per sons seized fighting against the King at Bonnym and found guilty of High Treason before the Special Commission, were executed on Friday last at Stir ling.—At an early hour the gallows was put up in front of the jail, in Broad-street. Coffins, decently mounted, and the blocks for decapitation, were placed nn the platform. About twelve o'clock two troops 'of the Bth Dragoon Guards an ived from Falkirk and paraded in the square in front of the Castle Since the unhappy men have been under sentence of death, they have been regularly Attended by Dr. WRIGHT, Dr. WALL, Mr. SMART, Mr. HEWN, W I Basic; and Mr. Sheriff. Fully sensible of their unhappy state, the criminals paid most implicit at tendon to the pious exhortations of their instructors. About a fortnight ago .the prisoners were put into one apartment. On the 'night previous to their exe cution, Mr. Bnuca, andsome of their relatives, sat up with them, and spent the time in devotion. When the other prisoners in the Castle assembled to take farewell of the men about to suffer, Baird briefly addressed them in a firm voice, and warned them to venerate religion, and pay proper attention to their moral conduct. An affectionate parting of the rela tions followed. About one o'clock the Shesilf, Magistrates, and attendants, proceeded to the Castle. On their ar rival they were met by the military officers ; and the guard, consisting of a detachment of the 19th Regiment, were turned out. When the guard and order of the procession was properly arranged; the prisoners came walking steadily and smartly out of the Castle. They were decently dressed in black clothes, with weepers and white gloves en their hands. Immediately after they were seated in the hurdle, the executioner took his seat in front of them, clad" in a dark cloak, aad veiled with black crape, holding up his weighty axe. The 11ev. Dr. WRIGHT Dr. SMALL and Mr. Bauer-, were at the sides of the hur dle, which was followed by two Sheriff's Officers. A strong detachment of the 18th marched along, and the rear was guarded by a Sew cavalry. The moment the melancholy procession moved off, Hardie and Baird, who had each a copy of the New Testament in their hand, began to sing, with great composure, the last hymn, beginning with 4 , the hour of my de parture's come." Baird sung with mournful down cast look, but Hardie occauonally laid his left arm across his breast, and raised his eyes to Heaven with a pleasant expression on his countenance. It is nearly a quarter of a mile from the Castle-gate to the place of execution, and when the hymn was concluded, Hardie frequently bowed to the spectators as the procession passed along, and on one occasion to some women, who wept very loud, he exclaimed—" (ion bless you r As the procession moved along not a single word escaped from the spectators, but numbers were weep. ing, and a hollow melancholy moan ran through the whole. When the procession reached tke jail, the two prisoners walked up the stairs leading into the Court Hall, each leaning on the arm of a Minister. When all had taken their places, Dr. Waltonr began the religious services by reading the Bible version of the SI st Psalm, after which he made a very impres sive prayer. Dr. SMALL next read from the 7th to the 18th verse of she same Psalm, and Hardie held up the Testament in his right hand, and read two lines at a time with a clear ',Dice, which were sung by the people present. Dr. SMALL then made an ex cellent prayer, and the 130th Psalm was given out by Mr. Baud& and sung.. Hardie read out the lines of it also, and the devotions in the Hall were con cluded with another impressive prayer from Dr. WRIGIIT. The arms of the prisoners were then bound in the usual manner, and after each had got a glass of wine, Hardie requested that their most grateful thanks might be given to General GRAHAM and Mau jot Pupa, the Fort Major, for the humanity they had uniformly manifested towards them. The pri• soners then went out on the platform at a quarter before three o'clock. On their appearance the crowd set up a faint cheer. When silence was obtained, Baird bowed respect fully to the crowd, and said they were con. ben to witness the untimely end of himself and his assfociesa„ They all knew perfectly well the cause of hii Wang in that deplorable situation, and he would not say a word on that subject ; but he Sincerely exhorted them to think of what Our SAVIOUR bad suffered for as, vd cleave to him, and never allow the troubles of, . , this tedrld to make them forget the concerns of their precious souls. He then en:rea , ed them to love and venerate the Bible, and when they trok it up to con , rider that it was not o:.e of the pro! hare or pet ishirg productions of n.an, btu the I.les.ed ord f Goo He Concluded with stating, that they kticoa not how soon they might e called to a:Tear !wrote their CnitaTon: and he enti eated them to retire and pray that they mizlit be enabled to avoid the workers of iniquity. Hardie then stepped forward, and in a less addible voice dent over neatly the same topics. Ho reAuested the crowd not to go to public.houses to drink to the memo's. of Baird and Hardie ; hut to go !rime and think of Goo, and mend their lives.— He then jai 1. " I die a martyr to the cause of truth and kis ce 1" The cloud save a fa lit cheer, an.i immediately, as if in a panic, they fled towards the. cross streets and closbsi. While the executioner was busy in putting the cap over Baird's face, and the rope found his neck, Har die knelt down beside his ccffin, and again sting the first verse of the fifth hymn, and said a short prayer. He then stood up, and when the cap was dra►. n over his face; and the ripe put round his neck. Mr. Bared came close behind them, and pronounced a L cry im pressive prayer. As soon as he had concluded, the prisoners caught etch other's hands, and prayed for a moment. Hardie dropped the signal, and they were immediately thrown off, and died without a struggle. Baird kept his copy If the Nev.. Testatrert in his hand, and it afterwards fell on the street. At ter hanging fully half an hour, the bodies were cet down by the Sheriff's officers, and placed on their respective coffins with the faces don nwards. When the necks were bared, the man in the mask came forward, and was assailed by the crowd with hisses, yells, and some faint cries of •' Murder." He appeared to he the same pet son who officiated at Glasgow, but he completely lost his former firmness and dexterity. He felt the neck of Hardie's corpse with his right hand, raised his ondemus hatchet, hesitated, low•e►ed it, adjusted the crape on his face, and raised it again, and after two powerful strokes, a third slight touch was still necessary to sever some of the adhering fibres and skin. He then held up the gory head in his right hand to the shuddering spec tators. and exclaimed, " This is the head'of a traitor r He next turned round to the corpse of Baird, and took his aim apparently with less trepidation: the first stroke of the axe cut the neck sl . ghtly, and stuck in the wood, but the second severed ►he head from the body. He then held it up also, streaming with blood, and made the same proclamatiiin,'" This is the head of a traitor !" and recited. The mangled bodies were then taken inside of the Gaol, and the crowd instantly dispersed. Though the day was very• fine, the crow of spectators was very small, few of the windows in the opposite side of the street were occupied. Wo men and children were walking fr•.ely within sir yards of the cavalry, and the aggregate, exclusive of the guard, did not perhaps amount to 2,000. Hardie, though born at Auchinaiin, was educated in Glasgow. He was bred a weaver. He served in the Berwick Militia upwards of five years, and was discharged inimediately after the battle of Waterloo. He came home to his loom, and became a member of the " Castle-street Union Society," but never bore any office. The Society was given up before the end of December. Upon the 4th of April he was informed that there was to be a great Meeting that night at Germiston; he went to the place, but found only thirty or forty men. They never separated af terwards till they were seized at Bonnymuir. He was, twenty-seven years of age, and has left two younger lorothers, a sister, and an aged mother. Baird was born in the parish of Cumbernauld, and bred a weaver. He enlisted into the 95th Regi ment, and belonged to it more than seven years. He was in Spain with Sir Joint Moons. When he was discharged, he settled at Condorrat, and worked as his trade till the beginning of April, when he was taken in arms at Bonnymuir. He was thirty-one years of age, and unmarried. He has left two brothers and an aged father to lament his death. OUTRAGE ON, ONE OF THE WITNESsES AGAINST HARDIE.--Friday afternoon a violent and grass out rage was committed on Mr. JOHN STIRLING, who is District Surgeon for the Northern Division of the City of Glasgow. After having visited a poor wo man in the Rotten-row, he went into a house in Kirk street, which was instantly surrounded by a number of women, boys, and some grown-up men. having in their hands stones, &c. who urged the people in the house to turn out the Doctor. He, however, so con cealed himself in the house, that the crowd, after the doors and windows were opened, could not find him. Captain MITCHELL, the Master of the Police, with several officers, came to his rescue, which was accom plished with considerable difficulty, and he was taken to the Police Office; all the way stones" ere thrown at him, and the officers and several persons were consi derably hurt. Four or five panes of glass were broken ift his shop-window and house. The cause of this violence against Mr. STIRLING is au ing to his having accidentally been an evidence on the trial of Hardie, whose execution is mentiuned above. Tuesday last, Michael Stephens, who was convicted of sheep-stealing at the last Assizes for the County of Cornwall, was executed at Bodmin. pursuant to his sentence. The unfortunate man was informed that mercy would not be extended to him as he was about to attend the Sermon preached on the morning of the execution of Sarah Polgrean, who suffered the dreadful sentence of the law, for poisoning her bus- - band, on the 12th of last month. From. that period he attended to the exhortations of the Rev. MK FATlttit t the Chaplain, with becoming seriousness, and became truly penitent; he acknowledged the Jae. tice of his sentence, and attributed his dreadful fate to the loss of his character. on having, on a former conviction, been imprisoned for a year; the effect oh which was, his being hardened in guilt, and fitted for the perpetration of farther offences. He walked with much firmness to the fatal drop, accompanied by the Chaplain, and, after exhorting the.spectators to take warning by his melancholy tate, he spent. a few moments in prayer with the Chaplain, and con cluded by putting up some petitions suggested by his feelings on the awful occasion. He was much affected on praying for his wife and children; and, after repeating some verses of a hymn; he said. “t ar s. well—l am ready ;" and was quickly launched into eternity. \~ _ _ ~ ~. - - .1"'- IL A
