MURRAY'S statement. Indeed Mr. Russalien own
account of the matter differs from that of
his antagonist in only one particular--as
to the infliction of the pistol-wound in the
neck. Mr. ROBERT* simply asserted that the
Major shot himself, which, even if not in itself
absolutely incredible, the medical witnesses depose
would have been extremely difficult, almost im-
possible, in fact. Under these circumstances none
will be surprised that the jury should have at once
returned, as the only verdict in harmony with the
facts, that of " justifiable homicide."

RILIIIIINA7I-0X Or Tes ALCIIIIIIICON
The venerable Hugh Cbambres Jones, ILA., Archdeacon of
Era, has adamant a letter to the clergy of that archaise-
every, which he hes held for3B years, informing them that he
hes placed his renigestion in the hands of the Bishop of Ro-
amer. The ow. petleman was educated at Christ Church,
where he graduated in 1805, and was formerly
Zen West Hain. Is 1816 he was appointed Treasurer
of I. Peel's Cathedral, and has held that post up to the
preempt time.
Oman IN THE Tun= Kneanone.—The number
of peewees committed for trW in 1860 on charges too serious
for the magistrates to dispose of summarily was—in Eng-
land, 17 per cent. less than it had bees five years previously;
in Souland, 11 per cent. lese, and in Ireland 24 per cat.
The year's list of comanittals for murder and attempts to
murder or to maim was more numerous in Ireland (in pro-
portion to the population) than in England, being 106
against 283 ; but the convictions were far more numerous in
Eirland-IG.I against JA For all offence. together convic-
tions in England and Scotland were abort 75 per cent. of
the committals ; in Ireland only 55. The feuds, faction
fights, and quarrels of ',eked make their mark in the
criminal tables ; 560 persons were omunitted for riot or
breech of the peace in 1860, anal 154 for rescue or refusing
to aid peace officers, the two clime. together forming 13
percent. of the whole number of the committals ; in Eng-
laud, for both classes of offences to-gather, the committals
we'. ooly 50. Taking the more comprehensive returns of
the numbers who were in prison during the year for all
offences es as to include persons sent to gaol summarily by
U,c magistrate', as well a those committed for trial by the
courts, it appears that the number in England (without
reckmilog military prisoners). wee 1 to every 197 of the
populatien, and in Ireland l to every 193. But, as the
moue person when recommitted within the year was counted
I again, the somber of persons sent to prison was not
rosily so large as this ; in Ireland there were 30,712 com-
mittals, but the number of persons committed was only
24.639, of whom 15,760 had never been in gaol befogs. In
England 34 per cent. could neither read nor write ; in Ire-
land 46 per cent. In England the females were 30 in every
100 criminals, in Ireland no less than 47. Female prisoners
in trebled are not declining in the IMO ratio as male, and
last year's returns show in a meet striking meaner the irre-
claimable character of many female prisoners. 16.5 of the
male prisoners in Ireland had been in gaol above 11 time*,
but 688 of the females ; 47 of the male prisoners bad been
there above 20 times, but no less than 3.411 females. Cork
city gaol had in it a woman undergoing her 66th imprison-
meet. 86 per cent- of the Irish committals wore Roman
