11013 Rol".—To thole persons who hare read
the popular novel of Rot Roy,,. the following ex-
tract from a Newspaper of 1754 may not be un-
acceptable :

EDINBURGH, FEB. 5.-=Yesterday was executed here,
pursuant to his sentence, Robert M'(regor, alias Campbell,
alias Rob Roy—{t his was the son of the herd of the siov'el]
for ha►nsucken, and forcible alltitti,ot of Jean Kay, heiress
of Edenbelly; be acknowledged the justice of his sentence,
died see►uingly penitent for his c►imes, and declared himself
of the Church of Rome. Ihnuediately before he was thrown
off, and while at his devotions on the ladder, some of the
populace cried out " a pardon ! a pardon!" which, made hint
start lip and inch annuli! hint; whereupon the Magistrates
ordered him immediately to be tbli,wn over."
THE INDIAN WARNIORS.—Ou Saturday, the
American Indians, who have been performing for
Some time in the Theatre here, were, at the re=
quest of tl►e Royal Company of A'chers, obliging-
ly allowed by Mr. All/lIRAY to shoot With theft) at
tl►e Company's Butts. The distaneei at which
the Indiins are accustomed to shoot, are So
much shortei' than the diStance practised by
the Royal Company, that 110 just comparison
could be formed of the merits of the shooters.—
'1•h; party afterwards 'Went to the field, where the
Royal Company 'flint at rovers, much to the asto-
nisionent of the Indians; who had Ito idea of the
distance which proper bo►vs and arroWs can cdm-
n►aud. The accoutrements of the Indians are eZ-
tremely coat se and awkward; and only calculated
for• short distances, where , they are used with
great precision and effect. The Royal Company
presented their visitors with some arrows and bow-
strings which highly pleased them'. At taking leave,
their Chief returned thanks, by tire iaterl►retef•,
fed- the civilities shown to then►, in a speeth of
some length, in which he expressed the sorpriie
of himself and his warriors at finding bi•other
archers in Edinburgh, so familiar with the rise of
the bows awl in particular, their surprise it the
distance and accuracy of the field shooting.=
In the evening, the Royal Company attended
the Theatre in compliment to the Indians, who
had a benefit on the occasion.—(Etthiburgh CU-
rant, Oct. 12.)

DREADFUL EFFECTS
.OF INTOXICATION..—On
Sunday morning Was found dead in his bed-room,
near the Commercial-roatf, Lambeth, IVILLIAM
UARLE, who for upwards of ten years had been
principal book-keeper in the bonne of Davy,
Sawyer, and Co., Old Barge House Wharf. For
about three weeks he isad indulged freely in his
propensity to drinking ; sensible, at length, of the
distress and ruin he Was bringing oh himself and
family, and stung with remorse, in a paroxysm of
despair, he put an end to his existence by pliscing a
stick through his neck handkerchief and strangling
himself. The character of this Math was eXtraor-
dinary-'—he possessed some excellent qualities; and
as an accountant his abilities were equalled by
few ; he was generally abstemious; yet such was
his occasional propensity to drinking, that be
would sometimes render himself incapable of bu-
siness for several clays. This degrading habit hals
unfortunately brought Islip to an untimely end,
and left four orphan children totally unprovided
for.---Yesterday a Coroner's Inquest was held on
the body] and a verdict returne4-Insanity.
