The only movement of any consequence was amongst the
Derby outsiders, five of whom were backed to win large sums,
viz. Maroon, Diplomatist, Brother to Heron, Torraa Vedras,
and Brother to Margrave : the last three made no advawe, bea
in the others there was a great improvement, larooftirafter a
good deal of money had been laid out, having reached 30,4314
Diplomatist 50 to 1, taken in hftndreds ; 1,000 to 1:1 Iftel

commissions to back Black Bess, but the disinclination rb.
against her was so general

would have been taken: The only changes amongst tie prin-
cipal favourites, on whom, by the way, very little attentith weir

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.
THE GOLD DUST ROPBERT.
No case of any importance came on for trial in tkeeourse
of the day ; but just as the Recorder was about to trave
the Bench, Mr. Clarkson moved the Cot so receive the
plea of Henry Moss, the person who, it will he rememberdel,
was a material witness against the parties charged with the.
above robbery, and whom, upon the decision regarding the,
point of law come to by the Judges as to Lewin Caspar,
one of the parties charged with the robbery, it became ne-
cessary to indict for the felony, with a new to ulterior pro-
ccedings against that individual.
Mr. CLARKSON said that Moss bad given important
dence upon the former trial, and he bad fu►flled all that
he had undertaken to the prosecutors, And the Court Proem! ,
no doubt take this into its consideration.
The prisoner Moss was then placed at the bar. The
indictment charged him with stealing one hundred pearl&
weight of gold, value 5,0001, the property of J■mes Hart-
ley and others. He pleaded guilty.
The RECORDER observed that a represen'ation had 11)491
made to the Court that the prisoner had akeady gives.‘
important evidence against other parties. who were
charged with bring concerned in the robbery; and it also
appeared that he must be able to render important service
to the ends of justice by suffering a shrift imprieoliments
in order then to be enabled to give his evidence upon titis
trial of an indictment against another party. Under these
circumstances the sentence of the Court was that hi
should be imprisoned in the gaol of Newgate for one day.

LEINSTER AND CHARLENIONT DECLARA-
TION. —We are happy to learn that many country gesillbaen
are availing themselves of the Assizes now in prowess, to &brach
their names to this National Declaration. An impression some-
how prevails that the humbler classes--the farmers and the in-
dustrious people in the towns--are to be excluded from parti-
cipating in fnis demonstration. Nothing could be nee pro
neous, or more opposed to the intentions of the illustrious
framers of the document, which is intended to be the Declara-
tion of the People of Ireland.—Bublin Evening Po;:t.
