Captain.Pt caneolNT and Mr. FENWICK, both celebrated for
pedestrian feats, took place yesterday morning over a circle

every inch was closely contested. The Captain took the lead,
and until the sixth mile. both kept together. The first mile
was done in 5 min. 2 sec. ; second, 5 min. ; third, 5 min. 3

HIGH TREASON.

[From the Edinburgh Courant, August 571

The Special Commissen hate finished their la-
bours at Paisley and Stirling.
,At the former place,
;Spiers, accused of being the leader of a Mob
which stopped the eotton-works at Johnston.aud
its neighbourhood, on the 3d of April, was put to
the bar, and after a trial of nearly forty, hours,
the Juiy returned a verdict, finding the prisoner
Guilty of striking work himself, and of coinpel-,
ling and persuading others, to do so ; but the Court
informed them that as this only-amounted to a
misdemeanour, the verdict could not be received
On a- trial for High Treason. The Jury again
retired, and on their return pronounced the: pri-
soner Not Guilty. The Lord Advocate declined
prosecuting the other prisoners, who were then
dismissed from the bar. The Court :met at Stir-
ling yesterday morning to try the cases.Trom,
Camelot'. Two of the prisoners were put-to the
bar, when Mr. J. P. Grant intimated to the Court
that the prisoners wished to withdraw their plea
of Not Guilty, and throw. themselves on the mercy.
of the Crown. They.were then found Guilty on
their own confession, and along with the prisoners
taken at Bonnymuir, and other two men • con-
victed of Treason, were sentenced, after a very
impressive address by the Lord President, to be
executed as traitors on Friday, the Bth of Sep:
tember. In addressing the prisoners, his Lord-
ship held out no hopes of pardon to Bait-'d and
Hardy ; to the other unfortunate men he express-
ed a hope that the Royal CleMency would be ex-
tended to them:

The followinc, is the Address (above alluded
to) of the LoRDPRESIDENT, on passing the awful
Sentence on the Prisoners :

Andrew Hardie, John Baird, .Tatues Clelland, 'firma%
M'Culloch, Benjamin Moir, Allan Min-chic, Alexander Lati-
mer; Alexander Johnstone, Andrew White, David Thomson,'
James Wright, William Clackson or Clarkson, Thomas Pike
or Pink, Robert Gray, Alexander Hart, John Barr, William,
Smith, Thomas M'Farlane, -John Anderson, William' Craw-
ford, John M'Millan, and Andrew Dawson—You present a
melancholy spectacle of two•and-twentysubji cts of t hisroun-
try who have forfeited their lives to its justice, a spectacte,
believe unexampled in the history of this country; such at
least as I never witnessed, and I trust in God never shall wit,
ness again. The crime of which you have been convicted. is.
the crime of hipt treason, a crime thy highest known to the
law, and the highest I may venture to say, which can be
known to a reflecting mind, because, in fact-, whatever,
may be the motive, whicha man have in view, who en-
gages in the crime of High Treason, we all must-be4avare'
that that crime, whether ultimately successful or '•nut
in.its progress, if progress it has, most produce 'inoper-
able and confusion. It is impossible-. that Trea-
son can make any progress towards success, witlnsut de-
luging the 'country in which it takes place, in ,blood and,
slaughter, in plunder and devastation. All •countries there-
fore, and all laws havc considered the mime of HO) Tre:ason:
as the deepest which any subject can poisibly commit. •At the'
saute time, I ant well aware, that from the delusion which has
been practised against you, and from I beprinciples, perhaps,
which some of You have imbibed, you may view Ibis in a dif-
ferent light, and that you may consider yourselves not as-the>
victims of justice, but as martyrs to liberty.
Some of you, for any timing I know, may even glory in your
suffering; but remember this, that sentence of death is now•
to be passed on you all; and remember that, whatcycr.
may be your own opinions, as to, the moral .guilt of the'
crime of which you have been convicted, that all of you,
at least, are miserable sinners. All of you have vices and
sins to answer for at the throne of God ; and, die when you
may, or for whatever cause, those sins must be answered for ;
and, therefore, whatever may be your opinion of the guilt of
this crime of which von have been convicted, remember•thiat,
yon still have the sins that ;ieset human nature..to answer fora
at the throne of God; and I entreat and conjure you all. to"'
look into your own breasts, and recal the actions of your past-
lives, and to pray to God to give you that repentance which..
leadeth unto life, and which, alas! the best of us have too.
much occasion for.

Remember that repentance alone is not sufficient—rernem:-,
her that you bare to appear before a God who is not only,
possessed of infinite mercy but of inflexible justice—that Emit
!oust be satisfied by us, miserable- sinners, before we'catt-
hope for mercy at his Throne ; and as we ourselves, alas !,
have nothing to offer, have nothing to plead in saiti-.
gation of punishment front that inflexible justice, whicia-_
must be satisfied as well as his mercy, let me entreat- you'
to have recourse to that-Redeemer 'who stands as a.Meitiator..
between our God ,and us, through whom ;shine we cane all
hope for mercy.—lt only remains for me now to protiounde
against one and•all of-you the last awful sentence of thelaw.
In regard to you, Andrew I 'antic and Joint Baird, I catatnilt
out little or no bopei of mercy. You were selected for trial:
as the leaders of that band in which you were associated. Yon.'-
were convicted-, after a full and a fair trial, and. it is utterly.
impossible to suppose, considering the cons ulsions into which..
this country was thrown, that the CroWn must not feel a'
necessity of making smite terrible examples, and, as•yon were,
the leaders, I am afraid that example must be given by .you;.
With regard to the rest of you, 1 hope and trust that mercy;
may be extended to the most, if not to' all, .of you; but it IV
not to this Court that mercy belongs, and we'caunot guaian,,
tee it. It depends upon the mercy of the. Crown alone, a mercy,
which is never exercised capriciously, and ought never to be
exercised eapriciOnsly.- The Ministers of the Crowa, statiding
in the elevated situations which they bold, are hound to take-
into view the interests of the, whole community, and nut to,
extend mercy to individual cases, merely for the sake of utter--
cy, if the interests of the country should in Fact demand your.:
punishment. 'I hope and trust however that the contrary
may be the case,
.bitt_let me warn you all, in tl:e mean time,
to avail yourselves of the short time that is granted to You,
and to prepare for thee worst. The worst may come upeot,
some of you, and I hope and trust you will be prepared for-it,
and at all events you will not live in future the worse,.meu
that you have prepared to die.
The sentence of the law is, That you,- and each of you, be
taken to the place from whence .you came, .and that you he.
drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution, and ttree'e he'
hung by the neck until you are dead, and afterwards •Your;
head severed front. your body, and your body divided into.tour.
quarters, to he disposed of as his Majesty tray direct—and.
may God in his infinite goodness bare mercy on your souls. '•
I have only to intimate now, that a warrant, will be signed,
by the Court for your executions on Friday the sth day of
September.
