citor, who was last session indicted for a number of robberies

to afford the prisoner an opportunity of giving information
that might lead to the recovery. of some of the mining pro-
perty, and that through his instrumentality the company
had regained possession of 1001. worth of the property so
stolen.—Tbe Common Serjeant said he was sled to hear it,
and but for that he should have transported the prisoner;
OA it was, he should order him to be imprisoned, and kept to
hard labour for 12 months.

STAIDONO.—J. love was indicted for stabbing Dennis
Sullivan, on the 29th of May.—The prosecutor, who was

afternoon the grand jury having returned all the hills before
them were discharged. The foreman handed in a long pie.
sentment, complaining of the inutilry of erand juries and
the tendency they had to retard the ends of justice, expressing
their opinion that many would rather forego prosecution
than be put to the trouble and expense of appearing be-
fore them; and further, that they considered many of the
cases seat before them might be summarily disposed of by
the magistrates--The Common Serjeant said the present-
ment should be forwarded to the proper quarter, where it
would receive the attention it merited.—The Foreman said
they wished it to be transmitted to the authorities at the

PARIS BOUXBE, MONDAT.—A great rife took place
to-
day at the Bourse. Stocks, treasury bons, bank shares, railways, all
improved. The settlement Is one of the causes. dome stock sold far the
account had to be repurchased immediately, and it was difficult to
obur n it. The buyers canned a rise to 71 francs for the 3 per cents.,
and 47 for the Throw, and other securities rose in the same propor-
tion. In giving all credit to the settlement as one of the nausea of
the rise,we mart observe that the repro cruises of which we have spoken
were made only under a favourable impression of our new position. It is
regarded as so easy now to ameliorate affairs and to continue in
the course of order and moderation, that nue:ulsters fear at the
Bourse to continue setters, and to be overwhelmed by the general
return of credit and the rise it will no:es-runty occasion. Confidence
begins to be felt to-day amongst men of business, and activity, in-
dustry, and operations of commerce, begin to be seriously looked
forward to. The energetic declaration of Lord Palmerston repelling
the accusation of complicity with the late insurrection, either mate-
rial or moral, afro produced a very good effect. Price of gold, 20;
