A trial comes on to-day, in the Court of Exchequer,

sitting at Guild- hall, which is very apropos to these proceedings in Scotland. The notorious RICHMOND has brought an action against the London pub- lishers of Tait's Magazine, for an alleged libel on his character, said to be contained in a review of a work on the Spy System in Scotland, which war published in Glasgow two or three years ago. Justification has been pleaded by the defendants ; and there are a number of wit- nesses in town who can speak to Mr. RICHMOND'S proceedings on behalf of his worthy patrons. A precious exposure may be looked for. It will do good at this time, and serve to remind the people of the blessings of Tory rule, which it is now sought to restore.
