POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) • BOW-STREET. This morning a busy-looking little gentleman, who we understood had some connection with Mr. eobbett, attended at this office in company with Mr. French, the barrister. When Mr. HALLS, the Ma gistrate, was disengaged, the little gentleman bowed, and addressed Mr. Halls as follows Your Worship, I have to apply for a warrant lainst Ann Cobbett, the wife of the celebrated Mr. Cobbett, of that name. Mr. HALLS—Mr. Cobbett of Mat name. Applicant—Oh, 1 beg pardon, I mean Ann the wire of the celebrated Mr. Cobbett, the political writer. She has accused me of a most heinous offence —of an offence which I consider worse than murder; she has spoken the slander in the presence of Mr. French and other persons, and Mr. French is nere to prove it. Mr. HALLS—WeII, what have we to do with it, if she has. It is no charge here. If she has as sailed your character you must apply to the laws of the country, when you will have your redress. It quite a mistake, you must go to an attorney.— Sur ely your friend, Mr. French, could have told you tnat this was not the course. The Applicant—But I would wish to proceed by a more summary process. wo rship, French—But I should have thought, your b n c " : ll iP, that when the accusation related to a matter, that— HALLS—Hanging by the head or the heels ? 11 'r• ROBINSON (a Barrister and County Magis trate, on the Bench) —I should have thought that Mr. French—you are a Barrister, I believe ?—(to kr. French.) Mr. French I wish no observations to arise on that. I think that observation particularly uncalled for—(to Mr. Robinson). 'What right have you to ask me such a question ? It was a very impertinent observation. 1 might as well examine you as to What you know of the law of real property. Pray, Sir (with some warmth) what is a " Constitutional l imitation" in law ? Mr. OBINSON—You, as a barrister, ought to k now that the criminal law does not take cognizance of slander. All this time the audience were amused with two dialogues, the little gentleman importuning for the * arrant, and Mr. F r ench - examining the Magistrate as to his knowledge of law. Mr. HALLS asked Mr. French what his mode of Proceeding had to do with the application. French complained of the impertinence of a lr• Robinson.

The sounding round the reef gives about five sagenas (35 English feet), and on the reef itself sine and a half feet.

We were favoured yesterday with a private view of this very imposing Panorama, which for force and richness of colouring, variety of scenery, depth and ra nge of perspective, and general grandeur of effect, e q u als, if it do not surpass, any that we have yet seen from the pencil of Mr. Burford. Moreover, It deserves additional interest from the changes that are now daily t a king place at Constantinople, and g ene rally throughout the East. The time of day well chosen ; it is about two hours after sun-rise, While the sun is yet veiled by the . mists of the I,i' r ning, through which his beams shed an agrees arid natural light rather than a brilliant and f a t e h r vid ref u l gence . The same tone is kept up all pr ro ugh the composition, and is productive of a de- W e e of harmony only to be surpassed, as we think, by th ature herself. Among.the most striking objects are e ' ma gnificent), Mosques of Sultan - Osmyn, Bajazet, Soly tnan(the ' a gnificent), Mohammed, Selim, and the splendid M° clue of Santa Sophia. The other interesting O bjects are the Seraglio, the Divan, the Green Kiosk o l f tli Pmerthouse), the Harbour, Galata, Pera, Mosque ,the Turning Dervises, the Inglees Sarai, or Eng asn Ambassador's Palace • the Tophana ; the Bos- V r ns ; the Barge of the Sultan ; the Barge of the la r aiount Olympus,' Aja • Leander's (or the Maiden's) Tower; and a Turkish line-of-battle-ship (saiiith_ree-ecker) admirably fore-shortened. The hi s 'an appears reclining alone under a canopy in . .barge, which is closely followed by the barge in 14116 the Sultan returns ; they are preceded and o f i' ) Wed by similar barges, in which are various Cr eB of State.

Since the at rangement has been concluded with respect to the approaches to the new London -bridge, the work has been carried on with uncommon vigour on the London side. Numbers 125, 126, 127, and 128 of the houses in Thames-street have been taken down. The inhabitants of the line, including Crooked-lane up to East-cheap, were a few days ago served with notices to quit in six months. The masons are actively at work preparing the stone at the Isle of Dogs for the land arch over Thames street—which arch, it is anticipated by the architect, if no untoward circumstances occur, will be turned by February. Considerable difficulty is experienced in providing for the immense traffic of Thames street in the meanwhile, but every exertion is pro mised to prevent the public being put to any grievous inconvenience. The lines of the main approaches on the north side are, as we are informed, definitively settled, with the exception of the variation to the extent of one or two houses at the opening of the line leading into Gracechurch-street. The rental of the houses to be taken down is very high, and the claims for compensation (the larger proportion of which must be settled by juries) will be by no means lighter than were anticipated. It has been talked of as a proposition to be made to the Corporation, that in the letting of the new frontage of the new lines of approaches,, of the present residents in the vi cinity, whose business may be affected by the change of the course of traffic, but who do not ieceive com pensation, shall have the same liberal preference that is usually given by the Corporation in the renewal of its leases to its old tenants. There is no delay with the bridge itself. More than half the cornice has been laid down on the western side of the bridge, and it is expected that by the spring the whole will be ready for the parapet. The centreings have been removed from all the arches except the centre arch, and the second arch on the north side. The arches from which the centerings have been removed were measured yester day, when it was found that they had all been finished exceedingly well. Some had sunk more ;han others, but the average sinking was about two inches and a half, which is much less than was an ticipated, and much less than was ever known with arches of the same flatness or radius of curviture and magnitude. The condition of the old bridge is such as to de monstrate the necessity for building a new one, and to urge on its speedy completion. Cunstant atten tion is required to preserve in safety the old and frail fabric. The consequence of removing some of the piles which surrounded one of the arches, and of opening wider the water way, was, that the current was very soon deepened from six feet to twenty-four feet, and it became immediately neces sary to throw in an immense quantity of stone to protect the old edifice. SLAVE TRADE. DISINTERESTED ADVOCACY. The following letter from James M'Queen, Esq., editor of the Glasgow Courier, was read by Mr. Mitchell, in his place in the House of Assembly at Tobago, on the 16th of January " Glasg ow , July 31, 1828. _ " Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your favour of the sth of June, enclosing your bill upon Mr. Cunningham, Bristol, at 90 days, for 100/. sterling, which has been duly ho noured. " This sum you inform me is a present from the Legislature of Tobago for what they are pleased to consider my services, as editor of the Glasgow Cou rier, in defence of our much-injured and deeply ca lumniated West India colonies. " Permit me, Sir, through you, to convey to the Legislature of Tobago my thanks for this unex pected mark of their approbation and regard, which, from the feelings which prompted it, I highly esteem; and to request that you would inform and assure the Legislature of Tobago of the continuance of my efforts in their defence, because, in defending our colonies, I feel, and I know, that I am defending a valuable portion of our empire, and performing a serious, imperative, and important duty to my coun try. Your cause, from being grievously misunder stood, and as grievously misrepresented in this country, is a most unpopular one, though it is now become less so than formerly; but obloquy and re proach have ceased to give any concern when I am conscious, in my own mind, that I am labouring in defence of truth and justice. " 1 remain, Sir, yours most respectfully, " JAMES M'QUEEN. " Robert Mitchell, Esq., Tobago." MEXICO. By the arrival of the Mountaineer, Dodd, at Li verpool, from Charleston, sailed the 15th ult., the following intelligence has been received at the North and South American Coffee-house : " HAVANNAII, JULY 7.—The expedition against Mexico sailed on the sth of July, and went out most brilliantly—the troops full of enthusiasm. The transports were the following American vessels : Robin flood, Captain Evans; Roger, Williams, Master; Bingham; Triton, Captain Smith; Chi lian, Butler; Cornelia, Constant; and the Spanish brig Catalina, with 3,500 troops. " Ships of War—Line ship, Soberano ; frigates, Lealtad and Restauracion; brigs, Cantivo and Ama lia. Admiral Laborde has gone as Commander of the squadron, and can land from his ships 800 ma rines, well armed and disciplined. " The expedition is furnished with from 3.50,000 to .500,000 dollars. " The following is the proclamation of General Barradas, Commander of the Spanish army, to the inhabitants of Mexico : " Inhabitants of New Spain,—His Excellend) , the Captain-General of the island of Cuba addresses you in the name of our King, at the same time that I present myself on your shores with the first divi sion of the Royal army, which is bow about to oc cupy your kingdom, in order to re-establish in it the order and paternal government of the best of Sove reigns. " ' Mexicans,—l do not come to avenge insult, nor to gratify a wish of revenge for injuries. All that is past is in oblivion, because it is the Royal will of our august and amiable Sovereign. I come with bayonets, not to use against your breasts, but to resist those who persist in rebelling against the will and clemency of our generous Monarch. As a faithful executor of the Royal will, I offer you, under my word of honour, that I shall see it accom plished very speedily, and then, when reason has succeeded passion, you will be able to compare and judge the difference between 300 years of happiness to the seven of frightful revolution. " i ' Thanks to Divine Providence,you are about to free yourselves from so horrible a scourge. " Mexicans ! the moment is now at hand when peace and plenty are to be restored to you; with draw yourselves from the hateful banner of anarchy which has alienated this beautiful country, and which has only enlisted the unprincipled adventurers who have tyrannized over you. Remain by your tire-sides; continue in your daily avocations, and your persons and property shall be respected. The division which I have the honour to command is an example of subordinatio and discipline ; the soldiers that compose it are your brothers ; our religion, our ' language, and our customs are the same, and the same blood runs in our veins. _ BANKRUPTS.

This number, which contains the History of the Rebellions in Scotland under the Viscount of Dundee and the Earl of Mar, the former o! . which took place in the year 1689, and the lat ter in 1715, will be read by all classes, and espe cially by Scotchmen, with great interest. Few things, indeed, in modern history, exceed in ro mance, and variety of adventure, the rising of the Highlanders under Dundee —the " bloody Cla ver'se"—as he was generally called by the Whig Cameronians, from the period of his departure from Edinburgh, after the arrival of King Wil liam in London, to that of his death in the Pass of Killiecrankie, the last scene of his triumph as a soldier and a Jacobite. its famous warrior, of whom Sir W. Scott has made such interesting mention in his " Old Mortality," resembled Napoleon in many points ; first in his inflexible resolution and unalterable fixedness of purpose ; s econdly, in his zealous love for mathematics, and the! abstract sciences. Like him, too, he was cold, and unused to sympathise with human nature, And, like him, ,exercised an unbounded authority over his adherents. The following sketch of his character will convey a favourite. idea of the way in which the present number is written : " Dundee was one of these individuals whose souls are such an exquisite compound of lofty aspirations and groundling common sense, that, for the very purpose of elevating themselves out of the irksomely humble situation in whielr they find themselves placed by fortune, they will heartily grapple with, and perform with the most serene punctuality, every duty connected with their place in so ciety, carrying through degradation and drudgery a spirit which will eventually shine out, when the grand object is obtained, with uninjured splendour. Minds of this order' resemble the fairy-gifted tent in the Arabian Tales, which was so small as to be carried in the pocket of the proprie tor during the day, but at night could be expanded to such a width as to cover a whole army. The world, which is too apt to judge of men with a mere reference to their o igin and early history, is seldom liberal enough to sup pose, in the case of a man exalted above his native sphere, that he may have all along, from the very first, possessed a tident and a spirit which fitted him for high situations, but generally accounts for his rise by either the vulgar error of good fortune, or by suggesting that he was tempt ed forward, step by step, by prospects which gradually opened before him. It is, however, abundantly evident that such minds often exist, and that their rise is entirely owing to the discretion with which they have managed their powers. Their merit was from the very first equally great, but only it was not prudent or possible, in their earlier situations, to give it ostensible shape. To such an order of minds—so great, yet so humble—so far reaching in contemplation, yet so diligent in minute employment— Dundee unquestionably belonged." lIOOGEVEEN'S GREEK PARTICLES. LONDON. 1529. This is the republication—duly abridged, and amended and translated—of a well-known work, just now much wanted in its present form. It is printed by Mr. Valpy, to whom the classical world owe so many obligations for the vast im provements his industry has been the means of carrying into execution in that department of literature. Of the present little work we shall merely state that it is one which no scholar should be without, as it treats at a becoming length, and with due critical exactness, on the nature and properties of those puzzling points in Greek literature—the particles. - - - - FRENCH CATTLE MARKETS. In January 1707, the King of France issued an edict, by which he erected a Board, consisting of an hundred Counsellors, to act as treasurers of the purse of the markets of Sieaux and Poissy, who should be bound to have an office open every market day, to pay and advance to cattle dealers, who are strangers, at the moment of the sale, the priee of the beasts they had brought to these markets, sold to the butchers and other solvent dealers. The same edict grants these new officers a fee of a sous (half penny) for every livre enpence) of the price of all beasts sold in these markets, payable by the vendor, although the treasurers had not advanced them the money. During the Revolution, these officers were dismissed, and tinder the First Consul a public chest of the butchers was established to receive the bail money, and to make advances to those butchers who needed them. On the Bth February, 1811, a decree ordered the number of butchers to be neces sarily reduced to three hundred, and imposed on the strange cattle-dealers a duty or three centimes and a half (one-third of a halfpenny) on every franc of the price of beasts sold in these markets. The butchers fearing that this reduction would augment the value of stalls, laid out 1,609,000 francs out of the chest to buy them up. In 1822, they were re duced to 370, but the limitation was then abolished, and the law so remains. A house of some note has stopped payment to-day, whose connections are chiefly with the Mauritius. Its outstanding engagements are about 45,0001.—a liabi lity which would have been thought small at many former periods, but iu the generally contracted state of trade, is thought considerable enough to occupy a good deal of at tention. The house was originally confined in its busi ness to the Mauritius, but was led to form an establish ment in London by the favourable prospects that were pre sumed to present themselves on the admission of East India sugars on better terms into the home market. MONEY MARKET, FRIDAY EVENING.— The Consul market has maintained itself with great firm ness throughout the day, and left off at higher prices than any quoted since the alarm at the close of last week. As Drat alarm is now clearly proved to have been without foundation, there is a good deal of excitement among the jobbers on the subject, inasmuch as many of them ima gine themselves to be the dupes of a preconcerted design to mislead them. It is no uncommon practice, we believe, among the speculators in the funds on a large scale, to seize that moment for creating an alarm and depressing prices, when they know the prospect of affairs to be in reality good, because they buy in the cheaper, and the subsequent rise is necessarily more certain and rapid. Sus picion of this kind does attach in a particular quarter, but the imputation is of course denied, with the complaint that the parties themselves were misled by the information in question. Some of the dupes to this pretended news have been pretty severely punished ; the transactions of one broker, entered into in the open market, and who acts for some houses at the west end of the town, exhibits a loss of several thousand pounds. The Stock Exchange, it ap pears, have had nothing to do with the scheme; but many of its members have, on the contrary, been severe sufferers by it : they feel anxious, therefore, if possible, to expose its authors. Consols for this account have closed to-day at 88i buyers, and at 89i for the October account. There is a great abundance of unemployed capital in the money market, but its influence is not so apparent as usual on the value of Exchequer Bills, which remain at 70s. to 71s. premium. The bankers, however, complain that they have no eligible objects to which to apply their surplus ba lances, and that they have never known the circulation of bills so low as it is at this time. There is evidently no thing which can relieve them, except a great increase in the transactions in goods and produce, which have been so long on the decline, that all purchase with cow.i4erable hesitation, and none in greater quantitiq than are required for immediate use, or, as tlip phrase is, "from hand to mouth." There is a ratite/. better feeling abroad on this subject within the last few days, and an expectation seems to prevail among the produce brokers, that the facilities for obtaining n i oney -- may encourage a renewal of the large , gagements of fo rmer ti mes , w ith a spei.:alation for a rise in , prices. Nothing of the kind, however, is as yet openlY , manifested.-- Times, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BURDEROP RACES.

Yesterday being the day announced for the grand Sail ing Match between ten or twenty fishermen's vessels, for four purses of sovereigns, to take place, a number of cut ters and every denomination of boats crowded the River at Waterloo-bridge, and at an early hour in the afternoon the bridge was thronged by spectators, who were anxious to witness the starting of the boats. The Endeavour steamer was engaged by Mr. Sandwell, of the Dog Tavern, Holywell-street, Strand, who had issued tickets at three shillings a-head for admission on board. She was moored off Waterloo-bridge about four o'clock, and a numerous and highly. respectable company shortly arrived ; and on twelve or fourteen fishing-boats assembling at the bridge, nothing short of a " Majestic Naval Fete" was anticipated, and more especially so, as Mr. Nelson, the Deputy Water Bailiff, had arrived to start the vessels. The vast assem- blage, however, was doomed to experience disappointment. The gentleman who had taken upon himself the collection of the subscription-money was not forthcoming with the needful. When this fact became generally known, it ex cited strong expressions of disapprobation, and the fisher men were loud in their vociferations. A private inter view, however, subsequently took place bet Ween some gen tlemen from the steamer and the collector on shore, at the request of the latter, when be handed over five pounds, declaring it to be the balance, after deducting printing, &c. This not being sufficient to sail for, Messrs. Nelson, Bishop, and C. Noakes, guaranteed to make the money 251., which is to be sailed for on Monday week. The steamer proceeded up the river with the company, and returned about nine o'clock.—A good band was provided, quadrille parties were set, and the junior portion amused themselves on the " light fantastic toe," whilst the elderly partook of more solid enjoyments, provided in abundance by Mr. Sandwell, with elegance, comfort, and variety. The trip was really a very agreeable one. EXECUTION OF JOHN STUART AND HIS WIFE. (From the Edinburgh Evening Courant of Thursday.) Yesterday these atrocious criminals underwent the last sentence of the law at the usual place of execution, head .4f Libberton's \Vynd, for the mur der of Robert Lamont,.on board the Toward Castle steam boat, in December last. The novelty and atro city of this case, and the peculiar and almost unprece dented circumstance of a husband and wife going to the scaffold together, excited a deep and general in terest ; and in consequence, notwithstanding the torrents of rain which fell from an early hour in the morning, a most unusual crowd had assembled by eight o'clock. On Tuesday night, about nine o'clock, the crimi nals were removed from the Calton Jail in 'a coach, attended by the Governor and others, and lodged in the Lockup-house. They seemed to have been quite prepared for this removal, which was carried into effect without any inconvenience from the pass ing crowd in the streets. On entering the Lock up-house, the female culprit wept much; and on being questioned whether it was the fear of death, she answered with readiness, " Oh yes, yes, it is the fear of death." Dr. Gordon visited them shortly after eleven o'clock, and spent several hours with them in religious exercises, in . .vhich they appeared to take a deep interest. It was subsequently proposed by the attendants, that they should lie down upon the bed in the room. To this Stuart at first objected, stating that when they wakened they might meet with a sudden surprise, the effects of which he dreaded, both as regarded his own and his wife's resolution. They were, however, at length prevailed upon to agree to the proposal, and went to bed. The man was in irons, but the woman was perfectly at liberty. They showed no gfeat inclina tion to sleep, but conversed with each other in whispers, apparently on the awful fate which awaited them on the morrow. During the night the woman was almost constantly dissolved in tears. Stuart. endeavoured tO console her, and seemed to be touched by her grief, observing that it was useless to indulge in vain regrets, as " they were now in the hands of the Almighty." She said it was the fear of dying that caused her to cry—not that she doubted the Divine mercy. The ardent affection and sympathy which the two criminals testified for each other, in their misery, appears a singular ano maly in such a life of crime as they had previously pursued, When they first met in the Lock-up house, the female fell upon the neck of her htoband, where she lay weeping and sobbi g n s g ‘ f , o e r r se: ll e lo ra re l. tours, almost unconscious of the presence of tile clergy man. Stuart, r t m i Ty ug re h t ur h n is ed fe l e ie li r n :•,aecti on, repeatedly embracing her and otheTwise testifying his regard for her. At five o'clecic in the morning, they were waited on by l ilia Small, who had some conversa tion with them of a religious nature. He wv,s soon after joined by Mr. Porteous. At half-past six o'clocir l &,tuart descended with firm step . from the Yell where he slept to the hall.— On eteri - iig this room he complained of being cold, though he % -. 1 ore a gree t t coat, and tea was ordered for him, 'He then asked permission to smoke a pipe. His behaviour was throughotkt calm sad col lected, without the least appearance of recklessness or indifference. About a quarter of an hour after, his wife came down stairs, neatly dressed in black. Wt, thought she felt gratified with her neat appear ance. Her husband rose from lAks sca t to receive her; she sat down near the fire, and entered into conversation wiAn ttjp 4 bat in a low tone of voice. She had by this time rallied and had an appearance, at least, of composure. Both partook of tea, and the female prisoner-requested the use of a pipe ; and cleaning it out with. a pin, which she borrowed from one of the by-stfinders, - pnrolled her tobacco, and commenced smoking, as if iflpltklging in an inveterate habit, and continued wliile . shi was listening, with apparent earnestness, to the pious exhortations of Mr. Porteous. At eight o'clock they walked into the room in which the duties of the executioner commenced. Stuart at first endeavoured to hide from his wife the pinioning of his arms, but she went round and round him to see the operation. They then for a minute stood close together in the centre of the room, and Stuart appeared to have forgot his own case in solicitude for the consolation of his wife. He exhorted her to be firm, to keep up her heal t, for God would pardon even the chief of sinners, for Christ's sake, when they truly repented. When her turn came to resign herself into the hands of the executioner, Stuart again renewed his attempts to inspire her with religious comfoi t. She told her husband that he had better take off the handkerchief which he wore round his neck, " as it belonged to one of the turnkeys of the gaol." He replied " 0 yes; never mind it." The matron of the jail was par ticularly attentive, and requested her to draw on a white cap, which had been prepared in order to save time. Turning to the executioner, she remarked, rather smartly, " You'll surely give me time to do that," implying that he would so far indulge ber on the scaffold. The necessary preparations being competed, the solemn procession moved from the Lock-up-lion ,e towards the scaffold, at a quarter of an hour past eight o'clock. After a soleirm, feeling and im pressive prayer by Dr. Gordon, and while praying for the unthinking crowd, Mrs. Stuart audibly repeated again and again, " Amen—Amen," they took their paces on the drop, and while the executioner was fastening the rope round the neck of Stuart, his ‘vife looked at him earnestly for the last time. Her face was then covered, and the rope put about her neck. She expressed a wish to embrace her husband; but this being impossible, they shook hands, she saying, " John, I trust we shall meet again in heaven." Each then prayed fervently, and implored forgiveness for themselves and for the per son by whom they were initiated in the diabolical practices which brought them to.the scaffold. The handkerchief, which was thrown away as the signal, was put into Smart's hands; arid he was now ob served for .the first time to falter, trembling exces sively, opening his hand and then shutting it con vulsively, as if he could not bear to part with the last hold which bound him to life. His wife was outwardly calm. She stood motionless; while her countenance turned to a deadly pale, Her lips moved as if in prayer; and she grasped the hand of her companion. The fatal signal was at last given, and both were at one instant launched into eternity, Stuart died apparently without a struggle; but the frame of the female was violently agitated for a few minutes. The prisoners were decently dressed in black clothes, furnished to them by the Governor of the gaol—Stuart wearing the clothes in which Burke was executed. He was of a stout, strongly-built frame, with rather a disagreeable physiognomy, his features harsh and ungainly, and his face much marked with the small pox. The appearance of the female, who was only 22 years of age, was youthful and interesting; and her fate appeared to excite a feeling of general commiseration. The appearance of these criminals on the scaffold, though their guilt was certainly deep and atrocious, did not give rise to any degree of popular excitement. No shoutings were heard from the multitude; on the contrary all was quiet and orderly. Since their condemnation, we understand the conduct of both criminals has been quiet and or derly, and such as to give satisfaction to their reli gious instructors. Stuart, during that period, has twice read through the New Testament. The female, previous to her coming to Edinburgh, was comparatively illiterate. So late as Sunday last she entertained hopes of a reprieve; but when apprised that the application had been refused, she wept bit terly. This circumstance being mentioned to Stuart, he was greatly affected ; but said, it was good that she found relief in tears, for he himself, though his heart was like to break, could shed no tears. In a conversation which he had with some of his visitors, he said that he did not intend to murder Lamont, adding, " We would have been mad to have com mitted murder knowingly in a steam-boat." But his wife had administered the drug without his knowledge, for she was in the practice of mixing the potion ; but fearing that it had not been given, or that it had not taken effect, he administered another dose. In conversing with another gentle man, he said it was the least ho could do to put the public on their guard, and hoped his fate would be an awful caution to poor people against sitting down to drink with strangers, for the practice was more widely spread than was generally imagined. The mode in which the deception was managed was, he said, for the one party to engage a stranger in conversatic, n , while the other would take the glass and drir; k portion of it, then, holding it under the t;nle, or otherwise out of sight, pour in the fatal drug without being observed, and pretending to sip a little out ois it, place it before the victim of tly.ar intended t',. ea . chery. This is exemplified in ttee case of the unfor tunate Lamont. While on bo.2:ed the Tow , :ad Castle the person they first ititentkd to practis:e upon with their diabolical contrivances was a 'nawker's wife, who was observed to possess s notes. But finding her too prudent cash in Bank dent to be easily en snared,and observing that liobert Lamont was pos sessed or a sum of mc,aey, their arts were directed solely to him. With regard to the female prisoner, she was born in Glasgow; but brought up in Dumfries; and has been married, a s a l rea d y state d , two years ; but had no family. She appears to have been a young woman of strong passions, and though she was often subjected to the most brutal treatment fror, her husband, she was attached to him to u degree almost to infatuation, continuing to et.'"along with him in all his atrocious crimes, as se:itously as if he had treated her kindly. On ong ‘:;ccasion when they were travelling together in Irt l iand, they quarrelled, and he beat her so dreadfifty with a stick, that she was left lying in a sto.`te of insensibility on a muir. When she recovz:red she proceeded to Dumfries to her motile': ; but on reaching her door, did not enter 'having resolved to return to her husbandl . inough he had used her so, eruellv i The mother of Mrs, Stuart visited her in prison, but as may be supposed, they met and parted with increased affliction. After hanging the usual time the bodies were cut down, and carried back to the Lbek-up-house, with strict injunctions, which hP:ve been pointedly ad hered to, that no one should see them. At _nine o'clocl , precisely, the bodies were conveyed from the 1,04,4 -house to Dr. Monro's dissecting-room, w). - .. er e we saw them a few minutes afterwards. Having been laid on the table, and incisions made into the jugular rein of each, they bled profusely; it being a well known fact, that in all cases of vio lent death the blood remains liquid, whereas in eases of natural death it coagulates‘ This fact of ilia li quidity of the blood was strikingly exerr2.l',fied in these subjects; all the upper parts of the 'oody being of a pale white colour, while the l(n'er were livid, . the eyes bkoothshot, the jaws fir:fily locked, and fists clenched, another in.dication of sudden death. The figure of the wsman is good, her make slender and delicate, her skin of remarkable whiteness. That itoetnasn:creon proportion. of tto Man is extremely compact and robust in the had the same ex pression of hull headed, dogged resolution, which characterized him in life, and did not strike us in any degree more sinister or forbidding. The great E tri v m en k, in bu d t e t a h t e h le h g i s s a co re un t breadth across the cheeks, tho face terminating in an acute angle at the cilia, and the peculiarly small sunk eyes, are fully ; as remarkable in Stuart, as it, Thurtell, Corder,Burke o r s ta y other great mar derer.
