TIE RECORDERS GouRrs.--We have on hand a
variety of interesting items from the Recorders
Courts, which we are compelled to defer for want
of room.
/ REroRT or THE GRAND JuRY.--The Grand Jurors
of the last quarter have made their yaledictory
port to Judge Hunt. 1t il not necessary to quote
their report OF the condition of the Prisons and
Charitable Institutions We extract the following
as the chief and most interesting port Of the

Jury would be recreant to ther duty did they not
report the fearful increase of crime in our midst.

iudcious use of Executive cemeney, to the delays

IIth May, to the difficulty attending the convic
ton of criminals after indictment, we are not pre-
pared to decide; but the fact stands registered in
characters of blood. that fearful murders are com

{ same deeds of violence, when under the influence
of these deadly passions, unresrained by the ter

Deputy Coroner why a postmortem examinatio

- the idle that have disturbed the public min

IT, practice of placing several OF them in the san

ho FIRST DISTRICT COURT. = -Antoine odnebre Sc
Il fenced to Death.-Judge Hunt yesterday gave
reasons for refusing new trial to Antoine Gambr
