john Hay, otherwise Hayes, was put to the. 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. Mrahafy 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 MeGRECOR 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 aCommission in their service ; 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 2001
left 0001. As he has
illinate issue, the greater part of this int.
'Dense sum will- go-to his eldest brother, Sir ,JOHNIM4CPAGOR. MURRAY,' 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 'ALEXANDER, is at present -Colonel o(
the Royal Highland Edinburgh VOlnnteers ; to
which appointment 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 especially to the
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.

TUT/ THE A.TRE.-11,1r. JOMNSTON last night
made- his first. appearance at Drury,lane in the
charaftcr of
.Young Norval, a charaCter in which
he has often been seen upon. the LondOn 'boards.
Nis person and talents are very Well suited to the
part. He comes into the field with sufficient. ardour,
but his powers are not properly disciplined.. He is
sometimes much . too solemn and sometimes much
too violent, and his transitions to each of these cx.
ceases are so abrupt as to render them still more
conTicuous. However he plays with a degree of
spirit that makes a strong impression upoh the
nudience. Ills best scene was that in which he re.
sQtit s the rimming insults of Glenak)on. He was. ye.
1Y well received by the audience, and excited much

The Haymarket Theatre closed for the Season last
"'Slit, with The Mountaineer', and Love Laughs at
Locksmiths. The season has been very productive,
and the spirit and variety which have attended the
Management, gave the Proprietor strong claims to
Public encouragement. The House wits last night
crowded, and the performance went off very sue.
cessfully.
On the conclusion, Mr. ELL !STOW addressed the
