HIGH TREASON.

. OLD BAILEY, APRIL 21.
When the examination of Adams was concluded,
he underwent a severe cross examination by Mr.
Ano LPJJ rs. The following witnesses were then called,
all of whom had been examined on the preceding
trial. Some of them, particularly Monument, were
rigidly cross-examined by Mr. AnoLetrus;
Eleanor Walker, of the house in Foy-court, Gray's lan-lane,
where Inp.; lived; Mrs. Rogers, of the ram place; Joseph Hale
(Brunt's apprentice); Thomas Smart', the watchman in bros-
venor-square ; Charles Bisset, another watchman ; Henry Gillen,
who met two of the prisoners at the 'Rising Sun public-house,
on the evening preceding their arrest; John Heetor Morrison,
who sharpened a sword for the prisoner ; Edward Simpson, a
corporal in the 2d (Coldstream) Guards; John Aldoas, a pawn-
broker, 'to prove that Davidson redenned a sword which he
had pledged ; Thomas Hyden, to prove giving the note to the
Earl of tiarrowhy ; John Baker, his Lordship's butler; John
Monument, an approver; Thomas Monument; George Kay-
lock ; George Thomas Ituthven, James Ellice, William West.
cott, LaLe Nixon, Joseph Champion, Jahn Wright, William
&cobs, and William Lee-'all of the Bevesstreet Patrol; En-
sign ritzclarence; Serjeant Legge, of the piquet, who had cot
been c.:3mineel before ; Hercules Taunton, and Dank' Bishop,
both Bow-street Offiz,:rs.

Mr. GURNEY now said he had more evidence to
offer, as to arms that had been found.
Chief-Justice DALLAS observed, it would be better
to take it in the morning. Hit Lordship then said,
as it was impossible to finish even the case for the
Crown to-night, that the Court would adjourn over
to to-morrow morning.

At half-past eight o'clock their Lordships ad-
journed the Court.
OLD BAILEY-THIS DAY.

The Court met at the usual hour this morning, to
proceed further in the trial of Janes Ings. The
public anxiety respecting these trials is 'evidently
much on the decline. On the Bench we only recog-
nized Sir JAMES SHAW, Sir WILLIAM LEIGHTON,
and Sir WILLIAM DOMVILLE. The Lady of the
Chief Justice DALLAS, and his two daughters, are
accommodated with seats in the box of Mr. Sheriff
BOTHWELL. The galleries and the body of the Court
are almost deserted.
At a few minutes past nine o'clock, the Lord
Chief Justice DALLAS, the Loup CHIEF BARON, and
Mr. Justice RICHARDSON, took their seats on the
Bench; but the CHIEF BARON left the Court almost
immediately, to attend his duties in Westminster-
Hall. He returned about twelve o'clock.
Proclamation being made, and the names of the
Jury called over, Ings and the other prisoners were
brought into the Dock. They seemed to possess all
their wonted composure, except Brunt, who. looks

dejected.
The ristols, blunderbusses, swords, pikes, hand-
grenades, and ammunition, seized in Cato-street at
the houses of two of the prisoners, were brought, and
excited much curiosity.

Chief Justice DALLAS gave notice to the Jurors
not on the present trial, that their services would not
be wanted until Monday.

The further examination of witnesses on the part
of the Crown then commenced. _ _ _

Bishop, the officer, was examined by Mr. Grimm
and cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS.

George Ruthven, another Bow-street officer, who
was examined by Mr. GURNEY, deposed to the ar•
tides be had taken in Cato•street, and upon the
prisoner.
Ings here denied that some of the things said to
h ave been found cm his person, had been so.
John Morrison, shopman to Mr. Underwood, the
cutler'; Taunton, the officer; and Serjeant Harrison
of the Royal Artillery, were examined by Mr. Guit-
NM The latter dissected a hand grenade, and es,
bibited its contents to the Jury.
All the prisoners, except Ings, bring removed from
the dock,
• Mr. Cuftwoon rose, and addressed the Jury at

considerable length, on the law of High Treason and
the nature of the evidence adduced on the part of

the Crown,
During the speech of Mr. CURWOOD, the Jury re-
quested that the gunpowder, cartridges, itc. might
be removed from the Court, which was done imp
mediatel y.
Mr. Cwswoop concluded his address at a quarter
before twelve o'clock, when two witnesses were called

on the part of the prisoner, viz.
Thomas Chambers, of No, 3, Heathcock-court,
Strand, boot-maker, and who was one of the flag
bearers at the Smithfield Meetings, was examined by
Mr. ADOLPHUS, Rlid cross-examined by Mr. Gunicsv.
Mary Barker, daughter of the prisoner Tidd, was
examined by Mr. CURWOOD, and shortly cross-exa-
mined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL.
Mr. ADOLPHUS rose, at a quarter past twelve
o'clock, to address the Jury, on behalf of the priso-
ner. His object appeared to be, to impeach the cre-
dibility of some of the witnesses for the prosecution,
and to convince the Jury that the conspiracy did not
amount to High Tseason—ELeft speaking, 4; one.:l

A Meeting of the Nobility, Gentry, and Clergy of
the County. took place at Maidstone on Wednesday,
when an address of Condolence and Congratulation
was unitnimously agreed to. The Address was
moved by the Marquis of CAMDEN, in a very neat
speech, and seconded by tke Earl of THANE; ; who,
speaking of his present MAJESTY; said, Of that no
Prince had ever ascended the Throne with a more
anxious wish to have the love of his people, to ad-
j)en p the laws) an 4 to administer justice in mere;,"

SIR WALTER SCOTT.

We last week noticed that his 11isamerr had directed later; pa-
tent to be passed under the Great S:al, ranting the dignity
of Baronet to Wavraa Scow, of Alsbotsbrd, Esq. and his
Lehi male.

Where is my harper 2—Off with all your helms,
Bring out the golden sword. Ile shall be crown'd.
When I lay sick in Palestine; and oft
When I have sunk grave-sleep with heavy thoughts,
Seeing as many fiends as he who fires
Ills fancies at the moon, his harp bath slain
More deadly enemies than all your swords.
What, ho—Let him come forth!
Land of the mountain and the wood,
The purple lake, the thund'ring fl )od ;
Land of the tartan and the plume,
Of valour's breast, and beauty's bloom!
If ever bow'd thy nobly ear
The minstrel's golden string to hear ;
Scotland, exult! thy minstrel son
Has the high prize of genius won;
Has stood in England's Royal Ring,
Prated, 1°,4'1, and honour'd by his Elsa !
The day is past of fight and feud,
The spear has lost its sullen food ;
No more the Chieftain in his hall,
Starts at the Warder's trumpet,calL
The moat is fill d, the umber'd tower
Is curtain 'd with the woodbine's flower.

0;4) PLAY.

The allies round the portal shield
Veil the rich spoils of flood and field ;
But, Scotlaoi, by thy victor son
Are spoils of nobler combat won !
Upon thy solitary shore,
Upon thy mountain's summit hoar,
Upoa thy red deer's forest tract,
Upon thy desert cataract,
He sent his voice—and from the wave,
The mount, the cataract, the cave,
Rose at their Minstrel Lord's command,
The thousand spirits of the land !
The soul of bending Beauty came,
The Warsior's restless shape of Same,
The Priest, heav'n-gaziag, proud and pile,
And gave him each its treasur'd tale !
Life has no brighter day to come;
Return, thou man of heart and home ;
Thy Boy, in vision, sees the blade
That on thy knightly neck was laid;
And, to the ancient impulse true,
Swells with the glories of BOICCLIUGH
And joy is wild in bluer eyes,
And softer cheeks wear burning dyes, •
to her Father's bosom prest,
The whole high heart is calm and blest,
And cups are crowning round thy board,
To 1-Lat-who gave the Spus and Swonu!
