Mt:mum—The body of an unfortunate man,

.aturJay morning in a small pond, situate at a short

rwn to the Highgate Archway. On being dragged
the shore by the men who found it, appearances
:d to the conclusion that death had been produced
rident means, and that, in fact, a foul murder
lad been committed. The features were disfigured
•ith blood, and the clenched fists and curved arms
the man induced the bystanders to suppose that
had died in the act of resistance, and this belief
"Is aided by the declaration of a woman residing
21r the spot, who stated, that, at about one o'clockir the morninq, she heard loud shouts, and a scuffle,
1- if people were quarrelling. The body was con-
ed to the 801 l and Gate public-house, where it
11(''.v lies for the Coroner's Inquest. It was examined
Mr. HARDING, a respectable Surgeon, of Kentish
own, but he was unable to discover any wound

SPECIAL COMMISSION, GLASGOW,:YILY 1
The Court met this day at nine o'clock, consistrat
of the Loan PRESIDENT of the Court of Sessitin,
LORD JUSTICE CLERK, the LORd Crt,EF Bakott of
the Court of Exchequer, the LORD CHIEF CoMDIIB
SIONER of the Jury Court, and Lord PITMILI.Y.
On the part of flee Crown the Counsel are—Tbe.Lord Ad'vd.
cate, the Solicitor-General, Mr. Ilullock, Mr. H. 11. Drum-
mond, and Mr. Hope. On the opposite side of the t.thle—Me.
A A. Murray, Mr. Grahame, Mr. Monteith, Mt. Pyper,
Cullen, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Sandford, Advocates, with Me.
Harmer, the Englhh Attorney.

James Wilson was put to the bar, having been
brought from Blidewell.

The Clerk of Arraigns then called over the list of
the Petit Jury, consi,ting of 200 names, which occu-
pied a very considerable time.
After many challenges on the part of-the Crown,
and on that of the prisoner, the following Gentle-
men were chosen, to try the case, viz.

David Laird, of Balornock.
Thomas Muir, of Muir Park.
John Lochhead, of Govan.
Robert Grandberry
Thomas Somerville, younger, of Carnvrath.
Andrew Smith, of Auldhouse.
James tlowison, of Douglas.
Jones Gilchrist, of Ginner. •
George Rowan, of Ilnlmfauldhead.
Thomas Douglas, of Moss.
John Waldrop, of Dalmarnock.
Janie, Ewing, merchant, Glasgow.

The LORD PRESIDENT informed the Jury, that
when they came to returktheir verdict they must be
unanimous, and that they must return it viva pace.
His Lordship next infortned the Reporters for News-
papers, and others, that- not one syllable of the
speeches or of the evidence should be published, till
the whole business is over, as it is one extcnsive piece
of conspiracy through the whole of the Commission.
The indictment was then read by Mr. KNAPPE,
Clerk of Arraigns, charging the prisoner with having
assembled in arms, in the month cf April last, and of
having published the Proclamation which was posted
on the walls of the houses of this city, on the Ist of
April, calling on the people to rise in arms and as-
sert their rights, &c.
Mr. HOPE then stated to the Jury the heads of the
severs Counts of the indictment, charging the priso-
ner with levying war against the King. &c.
The LORD ADVOCATE addressed tile Jury in a most
eloquent speech, which occupied about as hour and
a half in the delivery. The tribute he paid, in the
conclusion of his speech, to the general loyalty of the
people of Scotland was particularlv gratifying ; he
ridiculed the puny efforts of the disaffected to over-
turn the Kingly Government of Great Britain, living
as it did in the bosoms of nine-tenths of the people
of Scotland ; for he was not to be told, after all that
had happened, that they were otherwise than a most
virtuous and a most loyal people. •
Twenty -eight witnesses were. examined on the part
of the Crown. The prisoner had emitted two decla-
rations; but Mr. MONTEITH, his Counsel, objected to
the production of the first one. on the ground that
the Magistrate had recommended to the prisoner to
be candid, saying, that if he were in his place be
would speak out. The COURT sustained the objec-
tion. No fault could be found with the mode in
which the second declaration was taken, as the Ma-
gistrate had cautioned the prisoner to be on his guard
against saying anything to criminate himself ; but as
iu this second declaration the prisoner had admitted
the accuracy of the first declaration, which was made
under an undue impression, this deckaration was also
rejected.
It was now ten o'clock, and the Court intimated
its intention of rising for the night, and coaches
were ordered to carry the Jury to some place where
they could be all kept together. Mr. J. A. MURRAY,
for the prisoners, in the meantime commenced his
address to the Jury, and concluded about twelve
o'clock, when the Court rose to meet again this
morning at ten.
