Bar on trial for High Treason.. • Mr. PRIME SERJEANT 'stated the case for. the Crown, with a most energetic. Appeal to the jury, to discharge from their minds every trace of prepossession or prejudice which might arise from the multiplicity of victims which had already, been necessarily offered to satisfy the violated Laws of the Country, and secure public tranquillity._ In the course of this trial it appeared, that the Miloner at the Bar was the person ; who piked the Dragoon to death in Dirty-lane, on. the..night of thOnsurreaion, as testified by. M r ahafy on the.for mer. trials, as well as on this. The &fence was an Alibi, and a good charac, ter. It appeared on cross-examination of the Pd_ toner's own Witnesses, that the Pawner absconded from his work on the Monday :following the night of the InsurreCtion, and .never since returned to it. Verditi—Guilty. Killin and IVl'Can Were this day executed pur suant to their sentence. They were the associates of the last Prisoner. Several offenders in 'the cause of Treason were brought in since yesterday, and lodged in the Cas. tle and Prevost ; among these is AIRY, a gunsmith, of Parliament.street, who harboured the Rebel Ge. oeral Russel. Lieutenant-Colonel PETER M e GRECOR MUR. Ray, who was lately killed at the retaking of the Lord Nebou, by a shot from the Seagull, near Ferrol, tsfithe Northwest coast of Spain, was one of the heads of the ancient, unfortunate Honse Of•M'GR c. Got. About thirty years ago, he went out to In. dia, in the Nimble capacity of Surgeon's On his passage, he was insulted by one of the Of. ficers of the ship; to whom, after his arrival in In. dia, he sent a challenge. This the other, did not think, proper to accept. TheGoVernment, 'hOw. ever, seeing that he was a young man of spirit, of fered him aCommissio n i n t h e i r serv i ce ; which he . accepted, and, by his merit, .rose to, the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. For many years he held the lucratiVe - appointmenr of Adjutant-General to the ForCeiiin India ; and is supposed to have acquired a fortune of not less than 200 1 left 0001. As he has illinate issue, the greater part of this int. 'Dense sum will - go-to his eldest brother, Sir ,JOHN IM 4 CPAGOR. MU RRAY,' of Latiti!, Perthshire, Bart. Iles'ides this Gentleman, there are two other bro thers, Colonels - iR the Artrlyi who have also ac quired very handsome fortunes in India. One of these, namely 'A LEXANDER, is at present - Colonel o( the Royal Highland Edinburgh VOlnnteers ; to which a ppointment he was, last War,;and, since the commencement of the present, has been again unani mously chosen by the Regiment. The shock which the news of the above melancholy event must give to the relatives,and more especi a lly to t h e brother, of the unfortunate Gentleman deceased (who expeded to)tave spent, in happiness, the remainder of his days: with them in his native land), may be more easily conceived than described. What must add to their grief, on the present occasion, is, .that between four and five years ago, ;he Colonel had re turned frotn India, with -an intention of retiring from service.; but, finding his health not so good in Britain as. in Bengal, he,Went out again in the au, tumn of riioo, in hopes of being . better Seasoned for his native climate ; at his second return, Provi dencei however, whose ways, in. many instances, are, to short-sighted mortals, inscrutable, has,, doubtless in — his wisdom, seen fit to frustrate those hopes and expedatiOns. The eldest brother (the Baronet) has the rank of Colonel in the EaSt India Company's Service ; and having been bred to the Law, filled for aeveral years, with credit to himself, family,, and friends, the high and-important station of a Judge in India.

THIS respeaable,, numerous, and well-disciplined Corps was reviewed yesterday by Lord HARR TO tr, in Hyde Park. A party of the Royal ,Westmin stet Corps, consisting of the Grenadiers, Who served, as a Guard of Honour for the Revie w i n g G eneral, an d about 250 of the other companies, took possession c)1 theground at nine o'clock. 'The Sr., James's assem, bled at their para4e. in Dufour-plaCe, Broad.street, where their armS are kept, at half..pal! . eight, and marched thence to the Park. They, areiVed on the groUnd at half past nine, and forosed in line from South to _.North on the North of the water.— They mustered about goo ; 650 con . ipsiog the ten companies to be reviewed, and about 250 of the newly enrolled Members, whose state of discipline did not qua)ify , them to perform their military evo.' lutions in conjunEtion with the main body. Lord HARRINGT9N, and his Aides-du -Camp, entered by Hyde Park Gate, Piccadilly, at ten o'clOck, and were received 'on the ground by the St. James's Corps, and,The Westminster Grenadiers;. with pre. sented arms. His Lordship then, accompanied by his Aides-du-Camp, and Lord AMHERST and Ma. jot Dow sas, Colonel and Major of the Corps,. passed from the right to the left, along the front of the line, and back again on the rear, for the purpose of inspediog the equipments,!ind appearance of the Corps, His Lordship.then proceeded to the ground where the Regiment was to pass in review before him. The Corps, forming in companies, marched twice by his . Lordship, first in ordinary time, and then in quick time. They theri fired two rounds by companies from the right to the left, in a stile, with the exception of one or two dissonant vollies, not inferior to their marching. The whole body, then marched forward, - irttwo divisions, each divi sion alternately discharging a .volley, and halting, to load, until they, had fired two rounds, When hay.. ing regained the position from which they had' re.. treated, the whole body halted, and, discharged two, general vollies, with a degree of regularity and dis... cipline that would do credit to a veteran regiment. Whatever irregularity occurred in the first firing;" was more than compensated by the order -.and unison of the general, discharges. The flank Com.. panics were particularly correct in their firing.— . After the, firing ceased, the Reviewing General ceived a 'general Salute,. and then in ,the hand.. somest manner. expressed his satisla6tion dis- . cipline,.soldierly appearance and efficiency' of the Corps to the Colonel, Lord AM H ERST. The whole terminated'about twelve o'clock, when the Corps was led by the Colonel through GroSvenor. gate, Grosvenor-street, Bond -street, Conduit.street, &c. to their parade at Dufour-Place, where Lord AMISS lUT communicated to thern'the sat klaaion ex pressed by Lor'd HARR IN6TON at their soldierly appearance, discipline, and steadiness. During the firing, one of the COrps, by mistake, fired or hi , ramrod, which went about seventy iards before it fell, to the ground; it happilyoceasioned no accident, taut was near hitting one of the fugal. oleo. LOYAL LONDON VOLUNTEIRS. About three-o'clock Lord FIAR R r NGTON, attended by the LORD MAYOR and his Staff met the Firstite giment of the Lbyal London Volunteers on a piece of ground behind the Shepherd and Shepherdess, in the City Road. After the usual -ceremonies they went through t he.manual exercise in a very coned moaner. • After various . evolutions,..which :were performed w ith great correaness, they marched in line, halted, and saluted, the . band playing- God taw the iGifg. Lord INGTQN then rode up to the Command. ing Officer, and told him. he was surprized as well as -pleased at the forwardness of the Corps, and that their soldier-like appearance Merited his particular approbation. • .The ground was kept by the 3d Battalion . of Loyal, London, 20 of whose grenadiers, with two serjeants and an Officer, formed a guard for, the General. THE BLOUMSBURY VOLUNTEERS Had their weekly Field-day yesterday. They met at the Foundling Hospital at one o'clock µoe ci,iely, and remained on the ground till past four. Each man was-provided with fifteen rounds of car tridge,, and the Corps went through a variety of different !evolutions, with uncommon steadiness and accuracy ; aftet which they were 'formed into a circle, and Licut, Colonel WATSON, in.a very impressive manner, read over to them.the Vote of Thanks - of the House of Commons. The .Corps Nits then dismissed. Notice has been. given that Lieutenant.

When the goods were pack. ed up, he asked her in what flame liM should rnikc out the bill of parcels; she said in her husband', Whose name was Russel. She said that she was go. ing:to.Shorcditch to receive a bill of t 1, and would eitherians she came and pay for the goods, or they might be sent home to her, and she" would p,,y for: them ,thcre. The Prosecutor, . out of ci v i y proposed to send them; upon which she folde:i her gown, aodWalked our of the shop; the Pr 0 5 ,.... cutor had not the least suspicion of her ; but his - - , Nepheaa, who assisted him in the shop; suapeeled her, and said 'to him, '' Uncle, I thnlr. that wo. man has robbed you." The Prosecutor thaught it impossible, as he had never left the counter whie shr was in the shop. The Nephew went out, howeVer, and brought her laick„ with the Fort ty stated 'in the Indiament. The goods being produced, the Prosecutor proved them to be his property ; there was his Soso pri% ata mark on each, of them ;•,but he could not swear pa s ia sively they were in the shop the mort.ing the Psi. sorter came in, tho Ugh he believed they were. Totnkins, ,the 'Prosecutor's Nephew, said, he was in the shop all the time the Prisonet was there. He saw her put her hand uncler her cloak, but he did not see her take any Thing. 1-i.e saw these very handkerchiefs in the shop, that morn. ing ;" they ,had been shewn to another, who did not buy them, and the Witness put them buck upon thd shelf ; and his. Uncle had shewn them afterwards * • and they remained on the counter. in consequence Olseeing the Prisoner put ting'her hand up under het cloak, this Witness suspected her, and 'that induced him to go'nurafter her. hie took her at a place close by, but she had first gone into a Pawnbroket's'shop, and come nut. The. Witness saw her drop the handkerchiefs ; and a person behind him • picked them up ; he brought her back to the shop, where she Was charged with a Constable. William Barker, a Pawnbroker, said, that on the 3 Ist of August, the Prisoner came into his shop, end offered to pawn some black cambric muslin :—as he told her it was an article he never took in ahe otrared to pawn three silk handkerchief: ; asked ten' shillings for them : he glanced at them; he was busy, and said, "three half-crowns " that won't do," said she, and walked out. The Prosecutor's Nea phew came in, and in-consequence of what wal . said . to him, went instantly after her, and took her.--»a' !fhe Witness went otit and saw her dtop the black cambric muslin. • Mr. Baron HoloshlVl observed to the jury, that stealing . ..privately in a shop to the value of five shillings, or more, was a capital offence. - - With reit:el:to the fatt itself, he could hardly find it necessary to say a word to them, 131°C3Utie they haat proof of it, whichit was impossible to doubt. Tile handkerchiela and the musliO were proved to have been in 'the shop when the Prisoner came in, and she was seen dropping them in the street when put. sued. The remaining question .however wits more important, and it was entirely' for the Jury tonic. cide it, .and it was a question reapeeting the .ctta. cumstances which took place while she was in -the shop. 'As to the value of the property, he did not feel himself warranted to advist•thern. to reduce it belota the value of five shillings. The nephew of the Prosecutor did not see her actually- take the property, nor see it in her hands, yet he saw so "much as to induce hint to think, when she was putting up her hand under her cloak, that she was doing something that was dislioneat, This At of Parliament, said the Learned Judge, has always been donsttued favourably by Judges and jot ies, who had always'decided, that where a person was seen in the-ail, he should not be found nifty of stealing privately., Such a case did not tall within the mean. , ing of the severe part of the law. if nobody saw the Prisoner do any thing at the time she stole t h e goods, 'and 'aught 'were of more. than five value, she ought to be ConviCied of the capitai offance ; but, said the Learned judge, if you alionlat be of opinion the young man saw her in an alt which induced him to believe she was robbing' his uncle, then she ought to he acquitted of the ca iial part
