HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY,

SCOTLAND.

MURDER AT PIERSHILL BARRACKS.
Yesterday having been appointed for the trial of James
Bell, late a private in the sth Dragoon Guards, for the murder
of Troop Sergeant Major Moorhead, of the same corps, the
Court was crowded at an early hour. From the great anxiety
thus manifested on the part of the public to gain admittance,
the Court ordered the gallery, which had been kept closed for
a considerable time back, to be opened, upon which a tremen-
dous rush took place, and it was immediately filled. Many of
the officers of the regiment, and several of their ladies, took
their places in Court so soon as admission could be obtained.
The case of Bell having been called, and the indictment
read, the prisoner, in a firm tone of voice, pleaded not guilty.
Mr. MONCRIEFP, as Counsel for the prisoner, gave in de-
fences, in which he denied generally the charge contained in
the libel, and pleaded specially that he was insane at the time
the offence was committed.

Witnesses being examined,
The Jury, after retiring for about one minute, returned, una-
nimously finding the prisoner guilty, as libelled.
The LORD JUSTICE CLERK then proceeded to pass sen-
tence on the prisoner. The sentence of the Court was, that
the prisoner be executed on Monday, the 13th of July next,
between the hours of eight and ten, at the usual place of
execution, and his body afterwards be buried within the pre-
cincts of the gaol.
The Court was extremely crowded during the trial, which
did not terminate until half-past seven in the evening. The
prisoner, who is apparently about twenty-six or twenty-seven
years of age, has rather a mild countenance than otherwise,
and was quite unmoved throughout the trial and during the
time he was receiving sentence. Immediately before the
Jury had delivered their verdict, and when the result must be
quite evident to all, including the prisoner, one of the officers
of the Court presented some refreshment to the prisoner,
which he declined, but at the same time politely, and with the
greatest coolness, offered the same to the police officers who
were sitting beside him.

THE STUDENT, BY THE AUTHOR OF " ENG-
LAND AND THE ENGLISH," " EUGENE ARAM," Sze.—" Mr.
Bulwer," observes a contemporary, " has already attained a
high rank in our literature, and he will be raised still higher
by the present work. A more pleasant book than " The
Student "—a book more abounding in strong and vigorous
thinking beautifully expressed—it has not of late been our
lot to meet with. Mr. Bulwer has assumed in it a new
character. We knew him before as an exquisite writer of
fiction, and a sound political thinker. We now know him
as a delightful teacher of philosophy. He calls the Essays,
Tales, and Criticisms which are contained in " The Student,"
" poetical philosophy," " the metaphysics of the heart and
passions." Mr. Bulwer's work is, indeed, eminently beauti-
ful. It abounds with novel and striking remarks, and con-
sists of profound criticism on the greatest authors, and moral
instruction conveyed in allegories and tales of the most terse
and delightful kind.
