WONDERFUL DIscLosuRE-A very ex-
traordinary trial has recently taken place in
England, which in its results show how un.
certain is the very bes, evidence, how care
full individuals ought to be in swearing TO
identity, and how frequently the innocen,
have TO atone for crimes Of which others are
guilty.
On the first of August last, five Irishmen
were tried at Shrewsbury, for having CON-
United highway robbery on two gentle
men, IN the evening of the 23d of March.
They robbed them Of a sum in gold and
bank notes equal to about $3.50. and bea,
them so cruelty and TO such an extern, that
their lives were despaired or Highway
robbery, when attended with violence. is
never pardoned in England, and the men
were sentenced TO be hanged on the 18th of
last month. One Of the prisoners who had
endeavored to prevent the outrages upon the
gehtiemens persons was reprieved, and his
sentence commuted TO transportation for life
Alter the tIial, and when all hope for the
Tour remaining convicts was over. thew
made avery extraordinary confession. il
appears that twelve month ago, some gen.
llemen OF the name of Royds, were robbed
on the Rochdale road, near Manch hester and
Dr. Taylor was also attacked and riaed
near the same spot. A person of the name
oil Eastwood, and two others were annr..
hepded on these charges, and were convict.
ed IN both cases. and sentenced to ,ranspor.
,a'ion Tor lie; but in the latter robbery iDr.
Iaylor's) some doubts existed. and the men
were pardoned In the former case (tbe
robbery of the Messrs Royds) one of the
gentlemen swore positively to the identity
OIL Eastwood, and after their conviction they
were sent to Chatham, preparatory to en-
oarkatlon for New South Wales Singular
TO say Eastwood and the two others are ex.
culpated from all suspicion of being guilty
oil these robberes by the confession OF the
miserable Irish prisoners convicted at
Shrewsbury, who have admitted fully and
that these crimes were com.
muted by them. Here we have a case
where some men were thrice convicted of
crime of which they were as innocent as the
Judge who tried them. 1t is, we believe. n
circumstance unparalleled in the history of
criminal Jurisprudence Of the same men bav.
ing been t'oice convicted of capital offence,
t'otee sentenced TO transportation for life. and
fto'ce pardoned after being innocent of both
the crimes laid al their doors. II shows tho
uncertainty ofall human ingenuity in sitting
The truth, and adds another instance IN ,be
many cases already existing where the in.
nocent have been made 10 suffer for offences
committed by others.
Highway rrobberies are now very unfre-
4uenl In England; the severity with which
,hey are punished, and the excellent police
having rendered this branch of industry too
perlious Yet strange to tell, the Irish gang
carried on the trade uninterruptedy for
lhree years. during which period by their
own confession, they committed no fewsr
Than thirty-fve> robberies.-N Y Sun

CIRCULAR.
To Reeeipers Qf Public Money, and to ute Deposite
 BankS.


 TREASURY DEPARTMENT, July II, 1886. In consequence of complaints which have been made oi frauds, speculation, and monopoes Ill the purchase of the public lands, and the aid which is said be gy to effect these. objects by excessive bank credits, and dangerous if not partial, facilities through bank drafts and bank deposits, and inc general evil influence likely to result to the public interests aud especially the safety of the great amount of money in the Treasury, and the sound condition ofhs currency of the country from the further exchange of the national domain in this manner, and chiefly for bank credits and paper money, the President fthe United States has given directions and you hereby nstructed after the 18th day of August next to receive in payment of the public lands nothing except what is directed by the existing laws viz gold and silver, and in the proper cases Virginia land scrip; provided, that till the 18th of December next the same ndulgences heretofore extended as to the kind of money received, may be continued for any quantity of land not exceeding three hundred and wcn ty acres each purchaser who is ah actual settler bond ds resident in the State where the sales arc made.
 In order 10 ensure the faithful execution of these in- stucons, all Receivers strictly prohibited from ac- ceptng for land sold, any draft, certificate other evIdencc oI money, deposc, TnoUgH HTl- less sigaad by the Treasurer of the United staies n conformity 10 the act of April 24, 1920. And each o those officers required e annex 10 his monthly returns to this Departments the amount of gold and silver res- pecvely as well as the bills received under the fore going exception and each depose bank required to annex fo eyey certificate given upon deposte of mo- ney, the proportions of actually paid n gold and s yer, and in bank notes. All former instructions on these subjects, except modified, will be cons- dered as remaining III full force.
 The principal objects of the President III adopting this measure being to rcpress alledgcd frauds and to withhold any facilities in the power of the Government from the monopoly of the public lands in the hands of spectators and capitalists 10 the n jury of the actual settlers in the States and o emigrants in search of homes. as well to dls courage thc rnos extension of bank issues and bank credits, by which those rules generally supposed 10 be promoted, your utmost vigilance required and relied on 10 carry this order into complete execution

We copy into another column, from the Globe, the Circular which has just been addressed by the Secretary of the fTeasury to she Receivers of the Land Offices. It will be seen that under the instructions contained in 1t those officers directed to receive payment for the public lands after the 10th of August next only in gold and silver. Exception to this rule is made n favor of any actual settler citizen of the State in which the lands may lie, who may purchase to the amount of three hundred and twenty acres before the 15th December
