THE A RMT.

The report is not correct (and would in fact be a
libel upon the judgment of the Marquis of WELLING.
Tow.) that he was the first to enter Salamanca at full
gallop at the head of a regiment of hussars. The
Horse Artillery preceded, and scoured the town in
an instant.

At no single period in the history of Britain has
she had so numerous, so well equipped, and so expe.
rienced an Army employed upon any foreign expedi.
tion, as she now has in the Peninsula under the com-
mand of the illustrious WILLt'OTON. We rejoice,
too, in having the means of •adiing, that with the
experience and after the fatigues of four campaigns,
this gallant Army was never in such ,health and
spirits as at the present moment. We would have
them instantly reinforced, bey disembarking at Co.
runna the troops intended for the Expedition to..t.he
Elbe, provided the policy of their first destination be
not manifest and instantaneous. Had a force of 4000
fresh men opportunely arrived at the close ci the
Battle of Salamanca, it is possible that the awftil
conflict now doubtless pending might have been de-
cided in the last campaign.
A division of tie Spanish army is to march upon
Madrid, which is but weakly garrisoned.
His Majesty's ship Lconidas-has arrived at Cove
to convoy a detachment of Horse Artillery to Lisir,n.
The Waterford Regiment of Irish Militia has em.
barked at Deal, on their return to Irelanl Its place
is supplied in Deal Barracks by the Ist West York.

The*King's County and .Limerick regiments of
Militia arrived safe oa the 7th of this month at Cork
from Portsmouth.

His Majesty's ships Rota and Trinculo sailed on
the 7th from Cork, as convoy for Quebec, and the
Childers brig kr the West Indies.
INDIA.—The accounts from the different stations of
the Army in the Behar, 13undlecund, and Benares
districts continue to notice additional preparations
for the defence of our territory agaidst the Pendarree
hordes, who at this moment have a peculiar motive
to attempt an incursion, in consequence of the famine
which prevails in the West of India. Our frontier is
now lined with troops, and in perfect security against
any marauding expedition whatever.
In consequence of the preparations from the side
of Bengal, it has been supposed that Dosr Mitflo)t-
MED, who leads the principal Penelarree force, medi.
tates an invasion of the NIZAWS dominions, to coma.
teract which the cavalry attached to the sulsAdiare
force at Hydrabad have made a movement to die
Northward.

A detachment of six companies of the 2i battali 41,
L'th Native Infantry, and a squadron of the Id Native
Cavalry, with one of the gallopers of that Regiment.
commanded by Colonel Manrisout., have marched.
frotn Keitah, and were encamped at 2+l9tv. This
force is directed against the Pendatrn:, who have
committed depreJationc in the neighbouling countries
on the llundlecund frontiers.

FOR eturtnen Awn liniment.
Dr Monday we briery . noticril this lintrestins trial. Tbe fol-
lowing full account of it will not be deemed iinatceptable to
but Readers
Monday se'nnight, the triel of John APDottald,
painter, and Jima PA/&mum Mach, slater, ;teethed of•
murder and robbery, came on before the High Court
Ist Justiciary. The facts charged ageinet the priso-
ners were, tlatt on the evening of Wednoecley, the
12th of May, on the road leading westward from
Coltbridge to tha village of Corstorphine, they at-
tacked William Moirhead, blacksmith, residing in •
the Calton, Edinburgh, and discharged at him a
tool, leaded with slugs, one or more of which passed
through his heart, and occasioned his death ; after
:which they robbed him of his watch. The following
witnesses were called on the part of the prosecution :
William Muirhead, blacksmith, son of the decea-
sed, stated, that be resided in his father's family ; re-
collects that on the 12th of May last there• was a
meeting of the corporation in Calton, to which his
father belonged, which his father said he did not Mean
to attend, as he wished to take a walk to the country.
He accordingly left the house between the hours of
silt and seven in the evening. Witness waited up for
his father till twelve o'clock, when he began to get
Uneasy, and thinking that some persons whom he
knew might have persuaded him to go to another
Meeting, he went out to seek him, leaving his sister
In bed; and a candle burning. When he returned,
he was told that two Gentlemen had been calling,
Who wanted to see the witness; and left word that
somebody wished to impose on his father ; Millie
Johnston was ohe of them, the name of the other he
could not recollect. He immediately went out
again to seek for his brother-in-law, limes Mum;
whom he met about the middle of Leith Wynd, who
told him that his father was murdered. They went
together to the guard-house, where they saw his body
quite dead ; he then returned, informed his sister- of
what had happened, and got a table-cloth to cover
him.. His father was nearly. 73 years hf age. The
body had a wound on the left breast, and was very
bloody ; deceased had a silver watch, which the de-
ponent saw before his father went out ; it had a
clumsy steel chain appended to it.
James Brown, lastmatcr, is married to a daugh-
ter of Muirhead, and a member of the same corp.-.
cation ; was present at the meeting of tee corpora-
tion 12th of May ; the deceased was not present. Be-
tween twelve and one o'clock, be was called out of
the -room by Bailie Johnston and Captain groan,
who told him that his father-ineaw was not conic
home ; he told them he suspected he had gone to
another meeting, and would go to seek him ;—but
when half way down the Calton-hill. they informed
}rim that he was murdered, and that his body was in
the guard-house. He went with them, and saw his
body quite dead ; sew a large wound in his breast,
tneastuing four inches by two and a half. Coining
towards home, he met W. Muirhead alreut half way
down Leith Wynd, who begged for Gea's sake to
tell him the worst, as he was prepared f at. it ;—on
which he informed him that his father was actually
killed. They went together to the guard-house, and
watched the body all next day, to prevent improper
visitors being admitted. They saw the body inspec-
ted by the surgeons on Thursday in the gum d-house,
and again on Saturday in the deceased's own home
on the second inspection, saw three balls taken out of
the body (one quite flat), which one of the surgeons
*rapped in a piece of paper, enal put in his pocket.
Robert. Young, writer, came -from Glasgow to
Edinburgh, in the Telegraph coach on the 12th May;
the coach left Glasgow ableut four o'clock, and ar-
rived in Edinhuagh before eleven that night, which,
he believes is rather later tlrin usual. About halt a
mile on the west side of Coltbridge, he saw a man
lying with Iris Lace on the road. The coach stopped,
when he g:1 out, and, nn exemiiiing the Lode,
found a large wound on the left breast, with e great
deal of blood on the foot-path below where the man
was lying ; on the body being removed a little tram
the spat, the waistcoat was opened, •and the wound
appeared so large that a man might have put his three
fingers into it. The pockets of the deceased were ex-
amined, he thinks by the guard, but no money oarl
watch was found in them ; only two keys, uhidh
Were replaced. This was nearly about ten o'clock
at night, and it was moon light. Whilst they were
examining the dead body, two men ceme up, and
infhtmed them that a man had celled at a Loose,
whom they had dttained,to take his name; they found
out thee he was a tanner, and be was let go. They
then lest the body a little to the westward tif the road
to Ravelsi‘lo, and proceeded to Colthri4c and gave
the alarm. They were informed by a persy.x. at a pue-1
;fic Leese, that a suspicieus per.o::, who was lame,
had called there. After desiring the body to be sent.'
fir, they took this person to ELburelt with thenel
to give what information lie could to the police, alai :
Ad, him with some police officers at the west end of
Prince's-street.
Adam M.Ccul, servant to Mr. Lindsay, Colt.
bridge, re ceilected the body of a man being found
',Rest of the road to Raveleten, about two miles from I
Edinburgh, and a qu:.: ter of a mile iron) Coltbridge. I
wee desired by Vs master to take c..tf, winch
he did, and heipe! to f;e: the dc,', eody into the I
.cart, and corweyed it :o the West Pei pohce. office,
'whence he was desired by Captain Brown to carry
it to the city guard, which he did, when it was leid
tie a kind of hoard or bench. He saw the wound,
•which ails very large, on the left breast. It wee
eboat a quartet past ten o'clock when the body was
eta into the cart, and about twelve or one o'clock
when he left Edinburgh.
lir. Fat qttharson was called to inspect the body of
the deceased on the 13:11 May ; it then lay in the
beck room of the guard-house, which is dirk, and
from the quantity of ceegulated blood, with which
the wound was covered, he could only examine it
generally. He put his fiend into the wound, which
was very large ; and on pressing forward one of his
fingers, he kit a hole through the heart, which he
a thought sufficient to have caused his death. iDn the
15th, he examined it, along with Mr. Andrew Inglis,
surgeon, in the deceased's own house, with more
minuteness. The wound was in the left breast, of a
triangular shape, about four inches and a half lasi
oa the one side, time and a hail on the other, and
_

• • ott •
tteo tad Iran tatlN flutse e r were
out of the body, two complete, and one flattened and
shattered ; they Were Seiledsap and delivered, with a
report to. the Shelf; the heart was hoted through, as
also the left lottessetths,langs.
Helen Bihny lives with her mother, who keeps an
alehouse at Coltbridge ; remembered, at the begin-
ning of May last, two lath coming to her Mother's
house, between fa arid seven of the afternoon, who
called for a bottle of porter. She shelved them into
a room, and recollected to have seen one of them be-
fore, Black, whom she identified: they set about en
hour over the bottle of porter, and afterwards had a
gill of whisky; they remained in all about an hour
and a half in the house: She did not like their sitting
so long over their porter, and thought it suspicions t
she took the keys of a closet, and looked through a
hole, when she saw Black tying somethieg tight round
his re:dd:c. then went down stairs, and, on te-
furnieg, s Black thrust something into his left
breast, and pull his coat down on it, but could not
say what it was ; the other lad (meaning Wllisnald)
who was leaning on the table, looked at him and
winked: they then went out; the big one paid the
reckoning; I d.—he paid Is. and got one penny back.
They went to the westward : she looked after them
only for a short time, and did not observe how far
they went : she went dowa to the bridge some time
after, and while there, heard the reports of two pis-
tols, betwixt nine and ten o'clock; the reports did not
appear very distant—[Here the witness appearing to
be considerably agitated, was removed]—and
John Binny, journeyman skinner, brother of the
former witness, was called in. Recollects two lads,
on the 12th of May, about a quarter past six o'clock,
coming to his mother's house, who called for a bottle
of porter: saw one of them before, Black, who is the
shortest ; he never SAW the other before, who was
tallest, and could not swear to the prisoner M•Do-
nald being the. person.. They were shown into the
west room up stairs : he then went out to the fishing
in the water close by Coltbridge, and sta) ed till about
a quarter of ten : he heard, while fishing, two shots
fired—first one crack and. then another—just as hard
as they could fire them ; the mild came from the
westward, and seemed at no great distance ; this
might be twenty minutes or half an hour past nine ;
he did not rem on much longer at the fishing, perhaps
a quarter of an pour, and was going to bed when the
Glasgow coach came up; a Gentleman came in ; the
witness had off his clothes, but put them on spain :
he went to Mr. Lindsay's to get a cart; the Gerrie-
man tGlel him a man had been murdered, and deshed
him to go .west with him and get assisti.:ice, hut, es
he was about half way, he was turned back again to
go to Edinburgh and alarm the liohce, which be did,
and iti;ormed Captain Burnet of all he knew about
the persons who came to his mother's uouse : he was
in Edinburgh when the body arrived at the %Vest
Port, and saw it deposited in the city, guard.
Ilelen Binny was again examined.—Was standing
on the bridge, and her brother was ti,Ling
when she heard the reports; there win, no time be-
tween thAti : the lads left the hoarse btqween in
and eight ; the reports were between nine and teii :
the Glas.,,;ow coach came up about half an hour aft:r
the repot Is w, re heard ; a Gt litkili:3l Came Oat et
the coach and went to Mr. Lind,a)'s; saw the dead
body placed on a cart; A. M.Caul brought it to
town. She is positive as to I:llack—has known him
five years.
Mar,4aret Smith lives at Coltbridge; recollected
two lads, on Wednesday the 112th of May, codling to
-her hoes:: between six and seven o'clock, and asking
her if sine sold spirits : she said she did not, but they
would find them next door over the bridge : they
went eastward. She identified the prisoners as being
fine lads she meant : she lives to the westward of the
bridge. About ten minutes after eight o'clock, they
came back and asked what o'clock it was; her p.m,
a little boy, looked and told them : they then lounged
about some time, and at nine o'clock they s ent west,
the i. ;7.;est first ; the little one waited a
then followed. She said, loud enough to be heard
by tla.m, it was a pity they were not followed, a; she
thought they had seine bad ity.el.tions : they weikul
west very hard. ‘Vhen the coach from Glt,T;ow to
Ethriburgh came past, she told the gdard she suspect-
ed two young men, one whom had a balk; the
coach came past about half an hour alter tho lads
went to the westward : witness did not hear any re-
port of firearms.

Alexander Muithead, tenant Corstorch!re, was
in Edininirgh on the evening of the I`.:th of 1i t, ; in
comitig to town, met two lads going weF.twaid,
passed them ; he returned from Edif.bur,:;ll about
past eight, and .net them as he was going out, coining
eastward; a little on this side of the road which leads
to R•Ave;,:on, and was jo3tled by them, but be amain
parsed them, and went home straight; it might be
about halt ii-tst nine o'clock when he passed the road
leading Ravelston, and there W. 13 no dead body
lying on Elle road. As he went a!ong the Telewraph
passed him, just as he was entering. his own house at
storphine. A little below the Ravelston road and
Eon:loin, Le met Mr. Mnithead, an old man, coming
to Edinburgh; he knew him to be a smith in Calton;
L had a stair in his hand, and was quite sober at the
time ; spoke to him, and asked him if he was not
al.-aA to go to Edinburgh ; lie said no, it was a fii.e
nig!it, and lie was not afraid to go—on which they
patted: it was about 200 yards distance from the
place he met the lads going east, to the place where
he met Mr. MuisheAd : he heard no shots fired: the
wind was in the west.

William Inglis, butcher, in Corstorphine, about
eight or nine, going to Corstorphitie, met the lads
near to Ravelston entry ; a rod many people were
with them at the time, said, Haloo, Black, is that
you i" and went on ; !le did not.see them again.
George DP Amont, one of the sheriff.ollicers for
the county, recollected the prisoners being examined
before the Sheriff; went with • John Auld, and the
prisoner Millonald in a coach to a place on the
Queensferry road, to which they were directed by
bl,llonald ; they went by Blackball, and turned up
a road leading to Ravelston quarry ; they came to a
crooked tree, and Auld and the coachman went to a
wheaten field, while he remained with M'Donald in
the coach, and searched the ridges, where they were
informed by the prisoner the pistols were hid; and in
one of the ridges, to which they were directed by the
prisoner, they found the pistols stuck in the ground;
Auld gays ..the pistols in the witness; Mgllonald
marked them with s knife by his timber, and witness

(tethered theta it, the Shea. Pistols proditeed tins
identified. •
Robert Graham, shoemaker, Cowpte, was ehewu
the watch and identified it.
Andrew Inglis, Serjeant-ivtajor' of the Police—
about the IPginning of May, a person came to the
Police Mice with information Of a person being prur-
dered. About two o'clock in Ac morning, Captain
Brown desired him to go out to the place wheie the
man was murdered, and try to find any weapons,
such as pistols, &c. with which the deed niitht have
been p:rpettated. About a quarter of a mile paq
Coltbrid;,e, he saw a go-at ioamity of blood, and rn
examining it, saw something glittering among it,
which he took up, it was part tit a steel Cblin Rnd
key, he found also a seal and button, all which he
identified. Three men came up, one of wbcra was
Muirhead's son-in-law, who recognised the chain ;
went with him to Corstorphint, called at Coltbridge
to inquire after the suspicious person, knew imme-
diately, by the description of having a lame lee;, being
thick lipped, with black hair, that it Riust be Black,
who witness had frequently seen at the police odice.
He went nest day with CaptAit Brown, and parti-
cularly examitsed to wall, to see if there were any
marks cf bullets in it, did not perceive any, they
narrowly examined the wall ; could easily have known
shot-marks, having been twenty-ft/r years six months
in the army. _ _

Robert Adam, Clerk to Mr. EJmonstone, hard-ware mer-
chant, West Bow, knows John hiPllonald ; he tototht shot from
him once or twice, the last time was in the begineing of that
week the man was murdered ; he asked for the thin he had got
formerly, swan, or Drieto large shot ; did not tell for what pur-
pose, nor slid witness ask him; piper s::ewn contains shot same
as be sol.l M•Donald ; brought some of the shot to the Sheriff
Clerk's Mice, when he sealed the parcel ; it is the same kind of
shot he sold the lad; extracted balls shewn seem to be the same
size. Swan shot is marked with 2 B's, all of the lerge shot.
