MURDER.--At the Circuit Court of Justiciary, held 1
at Inverness on Wednesiay se'nnight, Robert Fergu-
son was tried for the murder of Captain CHARLES .
MONRO, late of the 49d Regiment. It appeared in i
evidence that the prisoner had used some hisetingi
language to the deceased in a smith's shop,
,in Cha- i
1 peltown, for which he had turned him out, but with-1
out using any violence. The prh'ner shortly after
returned with a knife, and stabbed the Captain in the,
lower part of the belly, of which wound he died ini
a few hours. The prisoner was found guilty, and
ordered to be executed at Inverness on the 30th of
October, and his body to be give to the surgeons for
dissect;on.
Tat SHERIFF'S FUND, designed and instituted by
Sir RICHARD PHILLIPS, in 1807, is happily rendered
permanent by the legacy of £lOO per annum for
ever, lately bequeathed to it by Mrs. A. M. STAF-
FORD. It amounts in the current year to nearly £5OO,
by which upwards of Forty Debtors have been libe-
rated, nearly two hundred naked prisoners cloathed,
and several hundreds essentially relieved in moments
of pinching distress.
SHIP LAUNCH.—Yesterday the DEVONSHIRE, a fine
74-gun ship, was launched at Deptford, from a pri-
vate yard near the Church. She went off the slip at
a quarter before three o'clock, amidst theshouts of a' ,
vast body of spectators. One of the Commissioners
of the Admiralty dashed a bottle against her bows
as she was in motion, giving her the name of Devon-
shire.
Every accommodation was provided for the
spectators near the launch, which appeared, as usual,
, adorned by flags. Bands of music performed loyal
