SCOTLAND.

HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY.—FFn. 8.

Henry Kinnear was brought before the Court, charged
with the murder of John Blyth, tailor, having, on the 23d
of October last, in the street called the Green, in St.
Clairtorn, in the parish of Dysart and county of Fife, at-
tacked the said John Blyth, and with his fist or some
weapon struck him one or more severe blows on the head,
and knocked him to the ground, whereby his skull was
fracturei, and he died of the injuries so received on the
28th of October.

It appeared from the evidence that the dece: sed had
been for some time " a teetotaller," but had broken
through the rules three mcnths prior to his decease.
One of the witnesses stated that ho knew this, and that
Blyth had been " on the ball" for several days; that
he, along with the prisoner and a person named Smith,
had met deceased between three and four in the after-
noon of the previous day, and went to several public-
hoases in Kirkcaldy and Pathhead. They purchased two
bottles of whisky in Kirkcaldy, which they took to a pri-
vate house at Pathhead, and drank it. They purchased
other two bottles in a house in Pathhead, by which time
all were worse of liquor ; and in going from house to
house deceased said to one of his companions that he
would try a fight if he, liked. The individual pointedly
refused. Ile then offered to fight the prisoner, who said
he would not, and had got nothing to do with him. Da.
ceased put himself in a fighting attitude, and continued
squaring at Kinnear for a considerable time, applying a
great deal of insulting language towards him; but the pri-
soner kept his temper so well, that one of the witnesses,
said he never saw a man get more provocation, or keep
his temper better. When they had got to the east end of
Pathhead, Kinnear parted with deceased and another,
and went towards his own house, leaving deceased and
the other, who wanted to get into Kirk's public-house.
A voice like Kinnear's, and in the direction he went,
called to Blyth, who ran towards him ; the sound of a
blow was immediately heard by a witness, about the time
Blyth might have reached Kinnear, and the fail of a body
in consequence, and then a person was heard running
northward from the body. The witness went up, and
found the deceased lying on the road insensible. With
the assistance of two chaise.drivers, and Mr. Kirk, the
publican, the deceased was got upon his legs, and coming
to himself a little, walked home " rather smartly" with one
of his companions. His wife heard him come to the door,
and a voice say, " Can you make in now, John ?" She
got out of bed, but he opened the door himself, and came
in • he said, " Kirsty, take off my clothes and put me to
heti, for lam murdered." She took off his neckerchief,
and tied it round his head, as he complained of pain there,
but lie was unable to bear it tied, lie was attended by
Dr. \Whams (who is since dead). His wife asked what
bad happened, but lie made no answer, and scarcely spoke
after. He died on the Sunday morning.
- -

The prisoner's mother stated that he was engaged in
marriage to a young woman, who, on hearing of the charge
of murder being brought against him, took ill and died, it
was believed, in consequence.
The S.ilicitor-General admitted that he bad fai'.ed to
make out the charge, and could not call upon the Jury to
give a verdict, even of the lesser crime of culpable homicide.
The Jury, notwithstanding the statements of the Coun-
sel and the Court, at first gave a verdict of not proven,
which the Court refused to receive ; and which they after-
wards, apparently with reluctance, altered to not guilty,
and the prisoner was dismissed.

ADELPIII THEATRE.—A new " operatic, TO-
mantic ballet, burletta spectacle," as it was reservedly de-
signated in the bills, entitled Salaries, and being an adap-
tation of the grand ballet at the Academic Royale, Paris,
Le Diable Arnoreux, was last night produced on these
boards. It was placed second in order in the entertain-
ment, and was appropriately preluded by a piece of dis-
turbance in the house of a very uncelestial quality, and
caused by a very long delay in raising the curtain on the
novelty. Our space will not permit us to enter into any
detailed account of the plot of the Sri tunas. It comprises
the adventures of a gay Lothario, who almost sacrifices
himself to the father of all demons, but who, after many
rare adventures, is saved through the grace of a pure pas-
sion of love to which he has been faithful. A great variety
of characters are connected with this main line of story,
amongst which that of the imp Flick, by Wieland, was
very conspicuous. There is a great deal of ballet scenery
and show introduced into the whole affair, and it has been
got up with a degree of splendour which does great credit
to the theatre. For this it was much applauded, and an-
nounced for repetition, by Mr. Yates with the most ample
concurrent: of his audience.
ROYAL VICTORIA THEATRE.—On ThursdayM. Laroche and M. Noel, the Ineredibles of Paris, made
their second appearance in

Witness.

We are enabled to state that the Marquis of
Normanby, her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home
Department, has recommended the Magistrates of New-
castle either altogether to withdraw the prosecution
against Mr. Robert Blakey, for a libel published in the
Aorthern Liberator, or to allow him to plead guilty, on
an understanding that he will not be brought up for judg_
mom. Mr. Blakey and his friends had applied to Lord
NorrnanFy to make this application to the authorities at
Newcastle. The prircipal grounds stated by his Lord-
ship are, that the appearances of the times since the publi-
cation of the libel have materially changed, and that the
Northern Liberator has ceased to exist. We arc not
aware as yet whether the authorities have come to any de-
termination about the matter.—Tyne Mercury.
Last week banns were published, in the cathe-
dral of Ncvcrs, of marriage of a woman who bad al-

MORNINI EDITION

POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE
MORNING JOURNALS.

The Morning Post adverts in the following strain to
Mr. O'Connell's letter to Mr. Ray on Lord Morpeth's
Registration Bill for Ireland :-44 We presented to the
perusal of our readers yesterday a letter of Mr. O'Connell
to a man named Ray, in Dublin, which letter is full of
real or affected exultation at the state of circumstances
produced by the proposition of Lord Morpeth's measure,
He does not hold out any prospect of the certainty of its
passing. He has too mush care for his prophetical repu-
tation to say anything so absurd of that or any other Mi-
nisterial measure. But he is indifferent whether the Bill
succeeds or not. It it should succeed, then Radical and
Romanist influence (which he calls ' liberty ') will be in-
creased in Ireland. If it should not, the repeal agita-
tatihn will be increased, or, as he expresses it, we aug-
ment beyond the powers of calculation, the zeal as well
es the number of the Repealers.'"
On the negotiations for a commercial treaty between
this country and France, the Times makes these re-
marks :—" The hopes which had been encouraged in this
country of an agreement between France and England on
the terms of a commercial treaty, calculated to benefit
the great interests of industry and the bulk of the popu-
lation on both sides of the Channel, have been greatly
damped by the recent discussions in the Chamber of De-
putieA on the commercial tariff of France and the treaty
r cently concluded bete een that country and the Nether-
lands. The French Liberals exult in the destruction of
that aristocratic class which affsrds, as we think, in the
discharge of its high political duties, the best secui ity for
the maintenance and the safe improvement of the perma-
r. interests of the country, apart from the private or
temporary interests of men of less independent fortune
and dignity. But the class which has usurped the legis-
-1 itive power and legitimate influence which the decayed
and despised ar.stocracy of France never really posaiscd,
Exhibits a degree of interested prejudice and exclusive
dealing in the great affairs of the nation, calculated to br.ng
contempt and disgust upon their deliberations.
Puseyis-r, or modern Popery, which we have so often
dcscribt.d, forms the subject of a long article in the
Chronicle, which concludes thus :—" But for the entire
Tory pvty, as a pirty, the position is rather a ridiculous
onv. Its own principle is at war with its own policy. Its
hard brains and its dirty fingers are in collision. I's war-
cry is the preserva•ion of Protestantism, and its religion is
the revival of Popery. By its unprineip!cdness it has
fished for the alliance of Puseyi.:rn, and Puseyiset comes
i to the alliance to denounce its unprincipledness. The
incongruous compound cannot long hold together ; but its
momentary existence is one of the strangest netieltics of
the nineteenth century."
The 111,-,rniny Adrertiser draws the following striking
c)ntrast :—" While the Tories parade the most acute syn.-
path), with toe sufferings of the pauper population, thc)
Jeny the pa.)r free access to the most ocvious means of
aleviating their wants—the purchase of food at the cheap-
est market. The Tories are most eloquently indignant in
denouncing the severe op 'ration of the New Poor-law ; but
they are still more indignantly e:oqu.frit in denouncing any
itttmference with the atrocious Corn laws, to which is
mainly attributable the great mass of paupet ism and suffer-
ing which festers and murtifies through the very core of the
working population."
The Morning Herald, in denouncing the Counties
Court Bill, exclaims :—" The Constitution I We stumble
at this word in contemplating the provis'ons of the Bill of
Mr. Fox Maule. If ' constitutional principles' mean any-
thing, and the phrase is not an empty sound, we must con-
sent to renounce these principles before we can en-arao
a plan for ' reforming' the administrat:or, of justice, which
recommends itself by their reject'on. The Benthamite
origin of the measure is seen in the hostile spirit which it
evinces to trial by jury—far Bentham, though eternally
inveigbiug against what, iu his pedantic jargon, he called
jutlge-made law,' was a' reformer,' anxious to destroy the
share which the pe.9ple have in the administration of the
lass by means of Juries, and to transfer their powers to a
single Judge."

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
( From the Globe.)

If Sir Robert Peel be not much more callous to
the opinions of the press than is ger eraly believed,
be must wince, we think, not a little under the dail•-
chastisement which is being administered to him, in
small but pungent doses, by a clever writer, whom his
friend, the Times, has lately taken into its service, for
the sole purpose, it should seem, of ridiculing and reviling
the worthy Baronet. He will ask himself, probably,
What have I done to deserve this harsh treatment
from that respectable journal ? What was there in my
Ta-nworth discourse to provoke its virtuous indigna-
tion ? Whilst cluing the heroic the other day at that
place, and lecturing an admiring audience on the ob-
jects and advantages of science, did I no;, take care at
the same time to demonstrate the perfect innoxiousness
of the new institution to the poor innocents, my
fellow-citizens, who might enrol themselves as members
of it, by the security which I gave them, not only of
my owa perpetual presidentship, into which I had
elected myself, but by the safeguard which I had esta-
Visited for the purity of their morals by placing the
selection of the books to be read by them, unt'cr the
superintendence of their friends, the vicar and curate of
the town? Did I riot speak well of the Church and its
Ministers? What more could I have done ? And now,
lo and behold! steps forward a gibing Catholicus,
graced with all the distinctions which the Times can
bestow upon him, honoured with the broadest
type and the most prominent situation in it columns,
who treats me no better than a Judas Iscariot,
or a professor in the London University ! All
my usual prudence has proved ineffectual, all
my precautions and protestations are derided as
insincere, and even the two worthy divines, the
vicar and curate, can do me no more service
on this occasion than the " two clergymen" could
to King Richard in his attempt to bamboozle the citi-
zens of London. No benefit of clergy am I to have
—a just retaliation, I admit, for my abolishing it in the
case of all other criminals. Again, I ask, how have I
merited this treatment ? Why do my friends use me
thus? Poor easy man r. He may go on for ever asking
these questions, without chance of getting a satisfac-
tory an-Ave to them. Does he not see that the Tories
are tired of him Dscs he not see that they wish to
get rid of him ? And what better way can they take
than to employ their mou.hpiece, the 'limes (ever
ready for any dirty job), to abuse and insult him ? To
hope and believe, forsooth, that he is still a Christian !
To trust that he has no dangerous designs in con-
tetnplation I _ _ _

(From thc. Standard.)

There can be no doubt of the right of all persons, in
the condition of the Highlanders for whom Mr. Henry
13aidie appeared to claim protection from perishing by
want. The only question that can arise respects the most
politic and economical means of affording such pro-
tection, and no means appear so politic and eco-
nomical as those suggested by the parties themselves
—the removal of 40,000 of them to Canada at en ex-
pense of 120,0001. Let us fairly take account of the
probable losses and gains of this proposition, putting alto-
gether on one side the considerations of justice and hu-
manity. The whole outlay is ascertained, 120,000/. ; but
double this—call it 240,000/. Now, what does the
country receive io exchange for this moderate nutla) ?
an addition of 40,000 to her Mrijesty's loyal subjects,
in a place where loyal subjects arc more necessary t)
the safety of the empire than any other which owns
our Queen's authorEy. These 40,000 hardy High-
landers, it may be presumed, number the usual pro.
portion of men of military age—that is, one fourth,
or tee thousand fighting men. At the rate of increase
in the North American continent, these 10,000
would be twenty thousand in 23 Years, gradually
augmenting up to that term. Here, then, for,
gay, 240,0001., you have a permanent addition
to the British garrison of the Cenadas, regularly aug-
menting from 10 to 20,000 men during 25 years.
The cost of an infantry regiment in the cheapest
120,000/. per annum, and an infantry
quarters is
regi nent rarely exceeds 700 effective men—but call it
one thousand. To maintain one regiment, then, in the
Catialas—saying nothing of the cost of transports for ne-
cessary exchanges—would, in 25 years, amount to three'
millions sterling, or more than /wave times the
sum which, according to all reasonable calcula-
tion, would secure a permanent garrison of not one
thousand, but from len to twenty Eliowand men,
. during tho slate period. And this is what is called
economy T. to refuse 240,000/., with the perfect assur-
ance, that, in refusing it, you lose within 23 years (no
long time in the life of a nation), an advantagednvata
in a military point of view alone—an a
equivalent to Mirty-sir
millions, even supposing the
original settlers not to add to their number. But
the military is not the only view, nor perhaps the
highest political view of the Lfrair, How much
of her wealth does the metropolitan state owe
to her colonies ? and all this wealth is the
result of the increase of the colonial popula-
tion. It is not too much to say that 40,000
industrious persons, now a Lurthen to Great Bri-
tain, transferred to the rich and progressive pro-
vinces of Canada, would in three years fully repay the
expense of their removal—in ten years repay it five or
sixfold. When will statesmen acquire true notions of
economy ? When will they learn that a prudent ex-
penditure is the only certain source of wealth ? Alas,
they must first unlearn all the rubbish upon the subject
a national economy that has been popular for the last
'P
-If century.

(From the Courier.)
Upon the correctness of the general principle on
which the equaliz ► ion of the duties as between East
and West India rum is proposed, we apprehend there
cw !)~ no great difference of opinion, but we are not
:..ri.pared to affirm the immediate and rigorous
,n of that principle to be either expedient or equi-
talble. At once, and without such fair notice prelimi-
narily as should enable thcae extensive interests most
deeply zEetcd to prepare for the change, by the with-
drawal of capital invested on the strength of existing
1 1W F, or otherwise. to endeavour to economise cost by the
ar:cession and importation of more labour, and, conse-
quently, tfT,:et a reaonah!e reduction in the wages of la-
hour, in the production of an article to be competed with
ooequal fi cal terms by that raised in lands where labour
is rtdundant, and its value at zero, would manifestly be
unjust and oppressive. Justice to the Eist Indies can-
cot consist in injustice and ruin to the West Indies ; and
Ott f' yet such must he the result of twat instant equalisAion
of the duties on rum, wLich is contended for and is
to ha brought forward this evening. y

the only product worth talking of cultivated in the West
Indies, is sugar. Nearly all the capital invested in
land is so invested, all the buildings and machinery
upon the land were so constructed and fixed, and all the
labour hands employed were so trained for the cultiva-
tion and manufacture of sugar, from which rum, a more
finished stage of manufacture, is of course made.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS,

(TITURSDAY EVENING.)
TIMES.--The impression wearing off of warlike ap-
pearances, the Consol-market assumed buoyancy, which
was increasing in consequence of speculative purchas a,
when a check was given by the Government broker, who,
taking advantage of the temporary briskness, effected
;:nother of his operations in a sale of money stock to the
extent of about 30,0001.
It appears by some late returns of colonial produce that
in February, 1839, the stock of West India sugar in the
port of London was 20,640 hogsheads, 2,701 tierces,
1,540 barrels: in February, 1840, it was 22,234 hogs-
heads, 2 454 tierces, 965 barrels, while in the present
month it is only 9,600 hogsheads, 775 tierces, 1,308 bar.
rels. This immense difference can hari:y be accounted
for, unless by the supposition that the West Indians are
directing their principal efforts and using a great part of
their produce for the manufacture of rum, finding that arti-
cle the most profitable while they are in full enjoyment
of the monopoly, and that therefore they send less sugai
to the market. . . . .

The measures proposed by the Commissioners on the
French Customs' law for regulating the importation of
Indian shawls seem to have excited great indignation
among the French merchants. The proposition is to
prohibit their transit through the country, to subject
them to a stamp, and to authorze search and seizure in
the interior, which would involve a right to enter private
dwellings. Theco measures are owing, it is said by the
French journals, to the :makers of French shawls, and at
the same time a question is raised, as to whether they
have acted judiciously in enforcing measures so rigorous.
Though the French manufacture is an object of the great-
est interest, occupying as it does 65 000 workmen, and
producing articles to the value of 20,000,000 per
annum, and though this branch of industry is not pros
perous at present, it is doubted whether the Indian
shawls are the cause of the decline, since 3.250,000 of
French shawls arc fabricated annually, while the number of
Indian shawls imported does not exceed 1 200 or 1,500.
If fear is only entertained for the French cashmeres, it is
remarked that in this case it loses much of its generality,
while the manufacture of this particular article sutlers
much more by imitations made with an inferior material
and the ordinary changes of fashion. However, with
respect to the prohibition of transit, the journalists,
that otherwise oppose the prohibitive measures, admit
the prevalence of smuggling, now that long cash-
meres are subject to a duty of 150 f., and square
or es to 801., it haring been calculated that
in 1839, of 2,353 Indian shawls that entered the
warehouses only 209 paid duty. The merchuts carry on
their contraband trade by choosing the swls in the
warehouse, and then sending them to the frontier, wheneei,
they are again introduced into France surreptitiViasty:-
lowering of the duty to prevent smugglinr#ohld, ►t it=
considered, be found impossible, on account of:-the
tion it would excite among the French manufheaurers,. and
therefore it is proposed that the transit throug)i- Franco be
prohibited, which would annihilate the contrabead,ptac-
tice. To this part of the proposed measurq.'itodoes not
seem that any objection is made, but the right,4f search is
considered en unnecessary inquisition.

. ,
CEI RON IC L E.—We understand that the. Committee
of Spanish Bondholders, at their meeting held to-day,
lehich was very fully attended, approved of the principle
of capitalising the Coupons, as contained in the recent
financial decrees issued by the Spanish Regency, and that
they also expressed satisfaction with the exertions made
by M. Gambea to restore the credit of his country. The
Committee at the same time agreed upon a memorial to
the Spanish Minister of Finance, to be transmitted through
Lord Palmerston and General Maya, suggesting the pro-
priety of making the irterest on the Coupons 5 per cent.
instead of 3 per cent.; and of the adoption of ulterior
measures to secure the payment of the monthly bank depo-
sits. The Committee could not with propriety, perhaps,
have acquiesced at once in so low a rate of interest as 3
per cent. without having drawn the attention of
the Spanish Government to the subject, and calling
upon them to ccme forward with better terms of
settlement. We can hare no great difference of
opinion with them on that point, as our information
at first led us to believe and to state to our readers
that the rate of interest, in all probability, would be three
per cent., until the Coupons were cancelled by the sale of
Church properties. The memorial also suggested the
propriety of some alteration in the mode of applying the
proceeds of the sales of the Church properties; and it was
stated, we believe, by a gentleman present at the meeting,
that the Spanish Government contemplated the appoint-
ment of a commission, consisting partly of Englishmen, to
whom the whole of the secular Church properties should
be assigned, in order to secure the appropriation of the
proceeds for behoof of the foreign creditors. The result
of the meeting appears to be so far satisfactory, and
if the Committee can get a higher rate of interest for
their constituents, so much the better. It is well for the
bondholders, in the meantime, that they have admitted the
fairness of the principle of settlement in the decrees, and
abstained from all doubts as to the honest intentions and
means of fulfilment on the part of the debtors. The
points !eft open are matters of detail, and if the steps
adopted in those respects do no good, they seem at all
events to fie, innocuous, and cannot do any harm.

It may be useful to remark, that by the convention of
commerce entered into by her Majesty and his Highness
the ['minim of Muscat, signed at Zanzebar on the 31st of
May, 1839, and lately presented to both Houses of Parlia-
ment, by command of her Majesty, the trade between the
dominions of her Majesty and those of his Highness the
Sultana of Muscat is declared to he perfectly frce, subject
only to a duty not exceeding 5 per cent., to be levied at
the place of entry in the dominions of his Highness, on
any goods the growth, produce, or manufacture of the do-
minions of her Majesty, imported in British vessels, in full
of every charge upon the vessel 3, or upon the goods so im-
ported or exported, and no additional duty to be levied
upon the goods when transported front one place to another
within the dominion of his Highness. British vessels may
enter the ports of his Highness to refit or for refreshmentF,
without being subject to any charge. The right of ap-
pointing Consuls is reciprocally acknowledged, when re-
quired by the interests of commerce ; and the subjects of
both countries arc mutually declared to be entitled to re-
side in, trade with, and pass with their merchandise through
the territories of the two countries, and to enjoy all the
privileges and advantages, with respect to commerce or
otherwise, which arc or may be accorded therein to the
citizens of the most favoured nations.

POST.—The funds have partially recovered from the
extreme depression to which they were subject yesterday,
in consequence of the gloomy anticipations indulged in
by many of the speculators, regarding the issue of the
NPLeod case. Acting upon the opinions of others, to a
certain extent, seine of the num)er who had been operat-
ing for the fall, have, as we understand, brought back
their accounts, and hence the rally to which we have al-
luded.

The Money Market was much less practicable again
to-day. It is, indeed, some time since anything like the
same difficulty was experienced in procuring the necessary
accommodation. This, it is considered, may have arisen
in a meastue from political causes, the existence of any
dispu:e of a nature that may possibly result in hostilities
being always found to have the effect of rendering capi-
talists thrifty in their advances ; but the scarcity is quite
as likely to have been produced mainly by the placing out,
for permanent objects, an excessive proportion of the
slims with which the market was glutted only a few
reeks since.

With reference to the remarks made by us in our City
article of yesterdan on the subject of the arrest and deter.
tion of Mr. M•Leod by the State authorities of New
Yolk, and the serious consequences that may by possi-
bility spring out of that affsir, we think it proper to throw
out the hint, for the consideration of our readers, as one
which may tend in some degree to allay the apprehensi,n
that prevails upon the question, that the litigious spirit
manifested by the Washington Government may very pro-
bably have its origin in the fact that the present men arc on
the eve of being turned out of office. The political views
of the two great parties in America are so diametrically op-
posite, that the bitterest feelings have notoriously been en-
gendered in the minds of one of them by the adverse issue

no longer, they will, at all events, so manage matters
for their successors, as that they shall fiad themselves
as little at their case as possible, If such be the
truth the expedient of implicatina, them in a quarrel with
this country is, it will be admitted, one that is admirably
calculated to answer the purpose.lt remains to be seen,
however, whether the intended legacy will be accepted or
not. Mr. Forsyth, we are reminded, has. affirmed that the
trial of Mr. M•Lood cornea exclusively w
of the State of N( w York, and that the

that the Supreme Court of the United Statemsa iis one
las nothing
to say to. This view of the case cannot, it is considered,
and will not, he maintained. The Caroling steamer was,
at the time of her destruction, under the nag of the United
States, her papers were issued from the Government office
of the Custom House at Buffalo, and the vessel was he.;-
self destroyed in the navigable waters of the States, which
appertain as much to one part as to another of the republic.
All these circumstances being brought into review, the
belief is that the case will go to the Supreme Court, and
no fear whatever is entertained as to the manner in which
it would be disposed of by that tribunal.
The Commit
tee of Spanish Bondholders had a length-
cned discussion this morning respecting the financial de.
crees lately issued by Senor Gamboa. Various sugges-
tions were made by the different members in attendance.
Some Were for addressing the Lord Mayor, requesting
that he would grant the use of the Egyptian Hall, and
himself be good enough to take the chair upon the occa-
sion, and to lend an car to the grievances a number of his
countrymen have suffered at the hands of the Spanish
and Portuguese Governments. Others proposed to go
at once to Parliament and solicit the protection of the
Britifli Government and the Crown. It was, ho'.vever,
at length determined to give Senor Gamboa time and
full opportunity to carry out practically the professions
of an honest intention which he has made public by de-
crees and otherwise. One important and most
essential modification in the project of the Minister
was, however, unanimously felt to be called for
as a
sine qua non to the acceptance of it,
namely, that the new fund in stock to be formed
by the consolidation of the coupons accruing between the
Ist of May, 1837, and the Ist of May, am

to 201. per cent, should bear 5/. per cent,, instead of 31
per cent. interest per annum It • was further considered
that, as the whole of
the interest which had maturA c)!
