Lyeett, Mr. Under,Sheriff Creasy, Mr. tllebraierif /De Jersey, ke. The fed edition of the „m i ler contains the names a The committals are 101 se prisoners, 91 males and Diesseba follows r—Freen the my of Landon, 44 ; from Middlesex 46 ; hem Rest, 7 ; a s k from the society of Surrey, 7. beveled pinnies are a t en bell. The offence are thus classified :—Aseaultang w ilb talent to rob, IS ; burglary, 17 , feloniously uttering ou g ai sfsit coin, 10 ; embezzlement, 6 ; abstracting ; 2 ; tregery, 8 ; housebreaking sad larany, 1; larceny, leresay in a dwelling home, 3 ; larceny from the pee ps, 3 ; Weeny by servants, 8 ; stealing and leseetiog • re inter, 2; maaslaughter, 2; misdemeanor, 15; repay, blanion• sosault upon a warder, 1 ; robbery, 4 ; MOUT iss deka goods, ; and wounding with intent to mnr se, 8. The Reeorder, in Ids charge to the grand jury, said that sae was only one charge of wilful murder, on which the pr ism had been committed since the calendar was 'nada *sad it appeared to have arisen throao a quarrel be the prisoaer and the wife of the &oseasd, .and the in the coarse of the disturbance that ensued the pri ses struck the deceased on the head with a gamer, and canoed his death. This wee pima bole a ease of murder, and if the feats should s established as he had stated them, it would be toeir clay to return a tree bill. The only other saes waving the leas of human life was a charge against • wan aimed Sarah Holmes of having amused the death "I her child by neglect and starvation. The child • eureka, is appeared, was born in the work bags, and there was no doubt that the prisoner ee In a state of great destitution ancl owi rz o t mad the only question's for their o yes wiasere the paeans was in a eonditioa to provide neemery food and sustenance for it, and that wal l ah was osessioned by her neglecting to do so. The ody e her ores to which he considered it necessary to aired were two charges of perjury of a very peculiar dia. mien The first was against twes polisemen. and the a quelien spinet them appeared robe that they had falsel g a n ged two young men with being in the garden of a bale at the north-west of the town with intent to commit a I•l4lary. The parties accused were acquitted, and w ording to their evidenos there was not the slightest fleastion for the charge made against them. This esument was confirmed by the evidence of three a oser persona, and it appeared to him that it ma • ease is addi the grand jury ought to return a true ta The ether charge of perjury was against two persons, sbybew and another, and the offence alleged against them en very peculiar. It appeared that one of the de foliants bad for a considerable time been in the habit a t r oodeies • payment of • guinea a year from peens who were liable to serve on special and o ther juries, and it was alleged that the defen dilb In return for this payment undertook to get the lades excused from serving on juries. The roods of oration appeared . to be that when one of the r oom who was in the habit of making the pay. seat referred to was summoned and fined for not steed* the summons was sent to the defen dant, and ' it appeared that he then made an affidavit that et the time the summons was served the party referred to it was out of town, and had not received the seremeas, and upon this the fine was remitted. He are at a loss to understand how persons of education tad respectability could have lent themselves to such a worm of proceeding to escape from the performance of Mies for which they were responsible, and which ought to bare been performed by them. These were, however, tie facts, sad it appeared to him it would be the duty of to mad jury to return a true bill. Is the New Court, Mr. Commissioner Kerr took axe, la to state that, as complaints had been made on a for me coercion of the inconvenience to which the juries 'steadies in that court had been subjected upon one occasion swag to no judge being in attendance, it being his duty to ins presided on the occasion, he thought it right to Of that the mistake had occu rred owing to the mew sager of the court having wilfully neglected to deliver • lialor to him informing him that hie attendance would be mend. The mistake had arisen entirely through the olligenee of the messenger, and he had since been dia domed. With regard to another complaint that had he made to him that a jury had been compelled n attend on a Saturday when the session was concluded • Friday, all he could say was that the session had W arta sooner than was expected, and that the sheriffs Li the entire management of the arrangement for sum. rising *on, and they were the parties to complain to.

MANSION-HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.) The excitement consequent upon the discovery of an immense quantity of woollen goods, jewellery, and articles of every description in the warehouse and dwelling house of Moses Moses, a marine stare dealer, the former premises being situated in Black Horse-yard, Aldgate, and the latter in Gravel-lane, Houndsditch, has in no degree diminished, and the justice-room was crowded with per sons anxious to hear the proceedings on the occasion of the prisoner being brought up for further examination. It will doubtless be remembered that the prisoner hav ing given information to the police that his warehouse had been broken into and a quantity of woollen cloths stolen therefrom, Detective Sergeant John Moss, with officers Whiting, Brown, and Green, of the City forte, made an inspection of the premises, ind near the aperture in the wall through which the thieves had got access they dis covered amongst a large quantity of loose rags a valuable gold earring, a bracelet, and other costly articles of jewellery. On further search the officers found the debris of two cast-iron safes on each side of the hole in the wall, and which had evidently been recently broken open by the use of a sledge hammer or some such heavy intro ment. It was regarded as remarkable that the prisoner had not mentioned anything the occurrence , or that he had been robbed of jewe llery, but confined the state ment of his hies to woollen goods only. That the jewellery had formed part of the contents of the two safes ap peared to be shown by the fact of the discovery on the spot of the small articles of jewellery already mentioned, which it was supposed had been dropped by the thieves in the hurry of making up their booty. Remembering the extensive jewellery robberies at Manchester, Liverpool, and other provincial towns, the officers took the prisoner and conveyed him to the police-station. At the former examination aquantity of India rubber combs, which had beer. stolen from a case on its transit to the Victoria docks for shipment to Australia, was identified by Mr. Cohen, of the firm of Cohen Brothers, merchants, as their property. A man named Buckmaster (now awaiting his trial in Newgete, had stolen the combs a few days prior to the discovery of the property on the premises of the prisoner, in Black Horse-yard. To-day, after the night charges bad been disposed of, the prisoner was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Finals fur further examination. Mr. Lewis, sea, again attended for the prisoner. Mr. Superintendent Forster was in attendance to watch the case on behalf of the City Commissioners of Police. The first witness called was Mr. Samuel Farrady, of the firm of Farrady and Davey, of 47, Hatton-garden, wholesale jewellers, who proved that on the 23rd of last month the traveller of the house was robbed of a black leather bag. containing jewellery to the value of 300/. He (witness) had been shown by Detective-Sergeant Moss a quantity of jewellery which had been found on the premises of the prisoner, and these he identified as the property of his firm. There were several other witnesses called to identify other portions of the property found, and which had been stolen, and the inquiry resulted in a further remand. Mr. Wontuer then stated that he was instructed by Messrs. Joyce and Sons, of Water-lane, Tower-street, to prefer a charge against the prisoner for feloniously receiv ing a quantity of elephant's teeth, well knowing the same to have been stolen. It appeared that the prosecutors onJuly 27 last received from the St. Katharine Dock Company an order to unload from the ship Fairy Vision 77 elephants' tusks, and accordingly they sent a barge round, the Sir Robert Peel, in charge of a man named Reddin to receive the tusks. lie did so ; and having secured his barge, he went ashore to supper. On his return, he found that the hatches of the barge had been broken open and 17 of the tusks stolen. Re wards were offered by Messrs. Joyce for the discovei/ of the offenders, but without success ; and nothing was heard of the property until it was found in the possession of the prisoner, as stated by the officers on the first examination of the prisoner. These facts were proved by Mr. Joyce, and Reddin the lighterman, and the property was in part identified by Mr. Calder, a clerk in the St. Katharine's-docks, and by Mr. Peel, the broker. who identified the 60 tusks which bad been left by the thieves on board the barge. In this case a further remand was also granted as in the -41 11 X ease. DREADFUL MURDER IN DERBYSHIRE. About 12 o'clock yesterday morning a murder was reported to Deputy Chief Constable Moran. of the co my of Derby, as having taken place at Chaple Hollow, Belper. He immediately repaired to the spot. and found that an old man named Alfred Gibson had been shot dead by a young man who goes by the name of Daniel Marsh, who was then in custody, with a discharged Ran in his band. The murdered man was instantly removed ; two or three surgeons (including Mr. R. R. Allen end Mr. Johnson) were sent for, but on their arrival in a few seconds deceased was found to have been dead some time, having been shot in the bowels (from the side), which were protruding. An old woman, Sarah Gaunt, was passing the "Hollow" when the diabolical deed took place. She said that deceased, the alleged murderer, and several other men were standing together in the street ; as she was nesting them she heard a gun discharged ; then saw a blaze ; deceased commenced to stagger, and she ran up and caught hold of him round the waist. saying, " I em afraid you are hurt, my lad." He replied " I am shot ; it's all over with me !" and then fell dead at her feet. Just at that moment Sergeant Carter, Acting sergeant Hollingworth, and another police-constable came up and found prisoner with the recently dis charged gun in his hand. The deputy chief-constable then arrested the accused and administered the usual caution to him. He then remarked, " say 'nowt' at all ; he wanted to take my gun, and the affair was done in a struggle." The accused was then safely conveyed to the Deputy Chief-constable's house, where he was kept under surveillance all yesterday. The murdered man is a charac ter well known to the police, having been several times convicted. He is also a married man, with a famiLC of children. The amused is also a native of Belper, being a nailer by trade. Previous to the committal of the murder the parties, with several others, had been drinking at various public-houses in Belper. No reason can be assigned for the act, save the prisoner's state ment to the police. Necessary information was instantly • given to the coroner of the district, and also to the chid . constable of the county, Mr. J. W. Fox. Quite a gloom L was cast over the town during the whole of yesterday, and I the news rapidly spread through the surrounding districts. , The inquest will be held to-day (Monday.)—ittreiinghires Gazette. ►RTI: [GElk.i CE Oa ELaOTI3O Vitaawm) MET MEETING.-(THIS DAY.)

It is understood that the Canadian delegates to this country, for the settlement of the Confederated Government and the guarantee of the Intercolonial Railway, have at length fixed to sail for England by an early packet-it is said on the 7th of next month. The reason of their long delay appears to be that the government of Canada were desirous, before settling this measure, of seeing the Ameri can elections concluded in the frontier States, ap prehending that if any Fenian incursion occurred, advantage might be taken of that opportunity, when the restraining power of the American executive would be weakest. These elections, however, are now peace fully passing by ; and official advices from Canada also describe the public alarm on account of the Fenians as subsiding ; and Fenianism itself as having lost much of its political aim and organiza tion, while such precautions have been taken by the government as to make any movement almost im practicable as well as unlikely. Meanwhile the de legates from the maritime provinces, who have been here for a considerable period, are understood to have made satisfactory progress, both with re spect to the details of the Confederation and to the additional sum found necessary for the completion of the Interoolonial Railway that is to connect Quebec with Halifax. It is understood that the direct line from Chicago to Port Huron, and thence by bridge across the River St. Clair to Port Sarnia, the western terminus of the Grand Trunk of Ca nada Railway, has also progressed to this extent, that the owners of the land through which it passes have made the road with the gradients ; and will next contract for the supply of the rails on the security of a mortgage of the line itself. When, therefore, the Intercolonial, at one extreme of the Grand Trunk line, and the Chicago Direct at the other extreme, are complete, it is computed that passengers will be able to travel from Chicago to Halifax and vice versa without changing car- PERMS.

Cummins, daughter of the late Judge Dimral Cummins, died on Monday morning at her resi dence in Dorchester after a long illness. Me is best known perhaps, as the author of " The Lamplighter," a novel, which was pubkiahed in 1833, and passed through several editions, both in this county and in England. Among ha othek books were " Mabel Vaughan," "El FureicVs," and " Haunted Hem is." Of late, we believe, her writings have been chiefly confined to contributions to the Atlantic Monthly and Uur Young Folk.—Boston 'dyer tior.

On Saturday his royal highness arrived by train at Pearee's Royal Hotel, Plymouth, where he will remain until to-day. Meanwhile the yacht has arrived in Plymouth Sound. A GIRL SHOT AT BIRMINGHAM.—A shocking occurrence took place on Friday afternoon, which resulted in the immediate death of a girl named Ellen Kempson, under the following circumstances :—The girl was in the employ of Mr. Duncan Miller, tailor and draper, 157, Broad-street, Islington, and about 3 o'clock she was in one of the upstair rooms when, it is supposed, she accidentally discovered a brace of pistols which bad been put by some time ago, but unfortunately capped and loaded. It is surmised that she must have been handling the dangerous weapons in a very careless manner. as one of them exploded and the bullet entered her left side under the heart. As soon as the report was heard she walked downstairs, and on reaching the bottom she fell to the ground. Mr. Suffield, a surgeon, residing in the locality, was celled in, but life was extinct. It is ex pected that an inquest will be held to-day (Monday).— Birmineham Gazette. A DAY OF THANKSGIVING IN THE UNITED STATES. —President Johnson has issued the following proclama tion:—`• Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, has been pleased to vouchsafe to us as a people another year of that national life which is en indispensable condition of pesos, security, and !progress. That year, moreover, has been crowned with many peculiar ng s. The civil war that has so recently been among us, has not been any where reopened. Foreign intervention has ceased to ex cite alarm or apprehension. Intrusive pestilence has been bennigly mitigated. Domestic tranquillity has improved sentiments of conciliation have largely prevailed , and affections of loyalty and patriotism have been widely re newel. Our fields have yielded quite abundantly ; our mining industry has been richly rewarded, and we have been allowed to extend our railroad system far into the in terior recesses of the country, while our commerce has re sumed its customary activity in foreign seas. These great national blessings demand a national acknowledgment. Now, therefore, I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do hereby recommend that Thursday, the 29th day of November next, be set apart and be ob served everywhere in the several States and territories of the United States by the people thereof as a day of thanks giving Red praise to Almighty God, with due remembrance that in His temple doth every man speak of Bias honour. I recommend also that on the same solemn ea-anion we do humbly and devoutly implore him to grant to our national councils and to our whole people that divine wisdom which alone can lead any nation into the ways of all good.
