tal guilty of the crimes of stouthrief, robbery, and
raps, libelled, and Hugh •Mollvogue guilty of the
crimes of stouthrirf and robbefj. An accomplice,
Bernard Hutton or Hatton, was sent to prises
during the trial for gross prevarication on oath.
At half-put eight o'clock, the LORD Jusnce CLERK
sentenced the three prisoners to be executed at Gree-
nock on Friday, the 10th day of October next.—The
prisoner l are all natives of Ireland, and stout young
men, nol one of them apparently above 24 years of
age, and received the LORD JUSTICR Ccanies admo-
nition and sentence of death with seeming indifference.

Tua Emu;Sitia.—This singular character, whose
dexterous achievements afforded such amusement to
the public about twelve months ago, has again re-
tutned to Leith with Captain NZWTON. Upon re-
visiting his native country, he learned with much
sorrow 'ha; his sister, who loved him with the most
unfeigned affection, thinking him dead, had died of
a broken heart. During his residence there. the na-
tives were continually flocking around him, and
would sit for hours together, listening with the great-
est astonishment while be would relate, in his native
simplicity, the wonders he had witnessed in this
country. He proved of great utility during the ship's
stay in the Straits. and among other desperate exploits
which he performed in his canoe, was the killing of
an unicorn, the horn 'of which is now in the possession
of Mr. S. W. Scatvem, of Edinburgh, the Surgeon
of the vessel.

and retirement, in the braes of the Carse, near Fin.
gask, and who was, perhaps, one of the most inno-
cent of beings, has lately disappeared. His disap-
pearance has naturally occasioned considerable un-
easiness to those who were in the habit of frequenting
his abode, and who considered him to be one of the
interesting spectacles of the place. Some 'circum-
stances have occurred, which make it highly proba-
ble that he has been forcibly carried off, and that a
few young men in the neighbourhood have been'the
wicked perpetrators of the deed. This they could
do with the greater facility, as he never used his
voice; seemingly incapable of doing so, whatever
might be the cold or heat of his espied residence.
Indeed, his insensibility to external good and evil
was so perfect, that none living ever saw him laugh
or smile, or change his attitude. His beard was ex-
tremely long, and his raiment lately renewed; and
it is suspected that it was to get possession of these
that the villainous deed has been perpetrated. Some
Magisttrates of the, eonaty have very properly taken
an active part in the endeavour to bring the guilt
home to those accused, but hitherto without effect.
He has not yet been beard of. His cross and some
Ismail articles have been picked up on the neighbour-
ing hills, which excites a painful apprehensioo, that
something ,worse than theft may bay? happened.
