HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY.

On Tuesday came on the trial of Neil M'Glaugh-
lan, alias Neil Gallus, and Robert Brows'. alias
Robert Mgeor. alias hililvor, charged with mur-
der and robbery.
The indictment charged the Pannels with hay-
upon the evening of the 1211), or early on the
morning of the 13,11 April last, upon the road
leading from Elvaofoot to Moffat, in the county of
Dumfries, or in the immediate vicinity of the said
road, attacked and assaulted a person of the name
of David Galt, or of some other name to the Pro-
secutor unknown, who was then travellina in com-
pany with them on the said road, and did both and
each, or one or other of them, give him many se-
vere blows on the head and neck with a stone, or
other instrument, by which he was knocked down
to the ;pound ; and when he was so lying upon the
I ground, they did !roth end each, or one or tither of
them, kick him on the head and neck, and other
louts of his body, in a cruel and barbarous man-
ner, and they did theta and there tie a neckcloth or
handkerchief, or something else, tight about the
I neck of the said person, su as to strangle hint ; in
eonserpierice of which injuries he did tininediately
I die, sid was thereby murdered by them, or by one
or other of them.
After a variety of evidence bud been adduced,
the Brunel* were arquitted, the Jury having found
the libel Not proven.

The following intelligence is from a Charleston
Paper, slated August 1 i :—" It becomes our pain-
ful duty to state, that the yellow fever has made its
appearance iu this city. a doing this, we con-
ceive that we are performing • duty to humanity.
and to the public in general, to whom we pledged
ourselves to report the case that tree:turd.
We have been guarded in nut exciting untieces-
awry alarm, and have therefore made this state-
ment on the hutbority of the Board of Health
of this city, as well as with the approbation
of the respectable medical gentlemen who 'mended
a stranger that died this morning, nod who are also
in attendance on two others that are now affected.—
We think proper further to state. that the above
cases of fever arose from peculiar eilll!WP, by no
memos general, and should not immediately excite
such serious alarm. as to induce persons to leave
the city. whose business may require their atten-
tion. The general health of the city is good. We
forbear to say more at present."
