From the announcement in an evening paper,
a number of persons were at the room where
the goods are deposited, and more than dozen
persons residing in the suburbs OF the city iden-
titled a number of articles as their property,
obtained by burglarous entries into their
houses within few months past, among whom
were Mr.. james W. Cottman, Mrs. John Ben
nett, DIR. Troop, Mr.. Murdoch, &c. There is
no doubt but that the parties arrested, are those
who have have been for long time depre-
dating upon the community, and we sincerely
hope the others may be also arrested. Mr..
Murphy, and those citizens who assisted him,
as well as the officers named, deserve every
praise for breaking up so daring and successful
gang of burglars, and should receive sub
stantial testimonial for their services. The
goods not identified and taken away, remain in
the custody of the officers, at Justice Manning IS
Office, where it would be well for persons who
have been robbed, to call and examine for
/ themselves
U. S. District Court. The regular Septem-
Der term of this tribunal, commenced yesterday
morning, His Honor, Judge Heath, presiding
| We are informed that at the last session of
Congress, law in relation to the summonng
of Jurors, was enacted, which will probably
save the Government considerable sum of
money in the course ola year. Under the old
| law, the Marshall summoned at every term
| ffty.five Jurors, out of whom twenty three
Grand Jurors were selected by ballot, and the
balance constituted the Petit Jury. Under the
new law it is discretionary with the District
Attorney, whether or not a Grand jury be
summoned; that is, the District Attorney when
he is aware of cases which will require Grand
Jury, informs the Court of the fact, who orders
Jury to be summoned, but if there be no bu-
siness requiring them, no Jury is summoned,
and the expense is consequently saved to the
Government. And also, if during the session
of the Court, or at any time in the year. any
case occurs in which Grand Jury is needed
the Court have the power to order such a Jury
to be summoned. 1t is thought that this law
will prove beneficial. The following gentle
men have been selected on the Grand and Petit
Juries of the present term
