JUDGE CRAwFoLD'S CHAEGE-The charge
o! Judge Crawford Of the Criminal Court, to
the Grand Jury yesterday, was very appro-
pirate, and 1t is to be hoped those to whom it
was delivered will give strict heed to the suc-
gestions therein contained After calling their
attention TO the Importance of the functions
| which they are called upon to exercise. the
Judge directs them to the fact that although
their duties are the same which other similar
lnquisitorial bodies have been performing for
centuries, there are still constantly recurring
variety in their investigations, because the in.
yentIye ingenuity of man is employed in evil
as well as in good, and leads him to surround
vicious deeds with novel devices of conceal.
| ment, and seek to evade legal restrictions by
new strategy. 1t is to be deeply regretted, he
| adds, that single guilty individual should
escape the penalty he ought to suffer, as the
general safety is by SO much endangered but
| such things have happened and will continue to
| occur. The best guards will be found in the
intelligence, frmness and integrity of those
who administer the laws, though even all these
qualities do not afford complete immunity from
error.
After deploring the existence of false wit
ness, and infrmities of judgment, which lead
US all estray, Judge c. urges on the jury the
faithful exercise Of that power which is intrust-
cd to it; and says there can be no liberty with
out law, nor unless that law be applied with
unyielding frmness to each delinquency; and
it is obvious that if the rule which was intend
Ell to be applied to every case shall be bent to
reach specially obnoxious offender, this obi
putty will be precedent to which the next in
dividual accused may be victim. The safe
guards which the law have placed round the
unctending, to protect them from the articles
OF the bad would thus be stricken down until
there would be no safety. In consideration of
these and other truisms, he lmpresses on the
minds Of the jurors the necessity that exists
for rigdly canvassing every individual case
that may be brought before them, and warns
them against passion prompted accusations
He says the disposition to riot and street disor-
der, which has been so prevalent of late years,
Is more discreditabIe to US in the United States
than to other people, for We have the lelst rea-

There was good deal of talk yesterday of this
that and the other Something was said about cot
ton, something about sugar. something about stocks,
something about exchange, and something about
fever. 1t is hardly necessary to have much talk
about sixty or seventy cases of fever in the large and
heterogeneous mixed up population of this great
city of ours For every case of fever now existing,
there are about four medical gentlemen or M, DIS;
so the talk is that not one physician in four has
patient or has had one this season.
There was some talk yesterday about the river. 1t
is falling and before long shall have to chronicle
great decline There were some receipts OF pro,
duce yesterday and the day previous. Cotton and
sugar are arriving daily. The accounts from Liver
pool brought by the Persia come on very reduced
stock of cotton. II is hardly possible it the cotton
trade of England is legitmatey conducted and gov
erned by the inmutabe luws Of supply and demand,
that any further decline can be expected in the lower
qualities of American Cotton-that is, Aliddlng
down-as the great deficiency in Surats is to be made
up from somewhere. The political intelligence

found ia large chest with spring lock. While
aportiyeIy hiding from companion he had locked

Of Geneva, who played hide and seek with her lord

many years afterwards when the accidental opening

and so well did he fulfill his functions that smile
of satisfaction visible on all faces as they sur
