NEWS FROM CALIFORNIA. In the city of Senora, a wortfiy citizen, Captain Snow, having been brutally murdered, and two of the assassins having been taken a few days afterwards, they were tried and hung by the populace, and buried in the grave which they had dug for theii victim. A terrible row occurred at a new town called Molones, near Carson's diggings, about two abandoned women, in which one or two Americans, and three or four Mexicans were killed. A party of nine men, under Captain Fitzpatrick, have been cut off by the Indians, and, as is supposed, all murdered, at Rogue River. A marauding party of twelve men, commanded by a Capt. Irving, were all killed by the Indians of the Cohulla tribe, near Los Angeles. They deserved their fate. A great many Mcrmons. from the Salt Lake Valley, had ar- rived in the Los Angeles Valley. A shocking affair occurred at San Francisco, on the night of the great fire. Lewis Pollock was shot dead by Samuel Galla- gher, having been provoked from his bed, and killed while undressed. San Francisco is being built up very fast-some two hundred buildings having been erected, and many of them finished, during one week. A horrible murder has been perpetrated at Sonora, by per- sons who took offence at an article published in the paper. They repaired to the editor, Dr. Gunn's room, dragged him from his bed, shot him through the head, killed two other per- sons connected with the office, and wounded or killed three or four other persons who went to their assistance.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, WEDNESDAY. The supply of English wheat here to-day was small, and chiefly composed of Monday's unsold samples. The weather being very favourable for harvest work, and the attendance of buyers limited, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce was dull in the extreme, at almost nominal cur- rencies. From abroad, upwards of 5,000 quarters of wheat i jG come Selected samples of both red and white sold at barely previous rates- In other kinds, scarcely a transaction took place. Barley met a very dull inquiry, but importers were not sellers on lower terms. The malt trade ruled heavy, at late figures. The arrivals of foreign oats being good-20,310 quarters- the oat trade was dull, at Monday's prices. Beans, peas, Indian corn, and flour were offering on lower terms.

The inquest on the bodies of the deceased com- menced on Tuesday week last, before J. B. Grindon, Esq., was adjourned to Wednesday, and occupied the whole of that day, Thursday, and part of Friday. The verdict was delivered on the latter day. A considerable number of witnesses were ex- amined. and from their evidence it appeared that at twenty minutes past three o'clock on Saturday morning, four men, named Robert Moffatt, Thomas Pike, William Smith, and Philip Pring, and a lad named William Webster, entered the bucket of the Malago Vale Pit, Bedminster, for the purpose of descending the lower vein, 240 fathoms deep, a turn of men having just come out at their usual time. They were lowered in the usual way, by the steam-engine, until they had arrived within a few feet of the bottom, when the flat rope attached to the bucket broke at the top, thereby precipitating the poor fellows to the bottom; and as the place where the rope parted was about half-way from the shiver-wheel" to the mouth of the pit, the whole of the rope, which is six inches and a half by two inches in thickness, fell down the shaft, as did also the bonnet," or iron shield, on the unfortunate men, completely crushing two of them. At the time of the accident the cart was descending at its usual rate, and the rope is stated not to have been in work more than a year, whereas ropes of its de- scription are, it is said, calculated to last three or four years. It was stated to have been examined the night before, and thatnonawwasdiscoveredinlt. It had been spliced at the parts where it broke. The weight of the rope that thus fell on the poor fellows is estimated at not less than three tons. Several. witnesses were examined to prove the circumstances under which the accident took place. The principal question was that as to the titness of the rope for its purpose, whether it had been maliciously cut, or had the manager of the works been guilty of negligence. On that point the following evidence was adduced :— Police Inspector Alexander produced a third piece of rope, handed out of the pit; the third piece was off the drum. (This piece was much unravelled, and the iron splice was broken.) John Goldsworthy deposed I am a rope and twine spinner am fifty years of age; have always followed the business, and consider myself to be a competent judge. Coroner: Examine this piece, and say if it's sound? Witness It does not look to be sound where it is attached to the splice. Coroner Now ex- amine this piece (that taken off the drum), and say if it joined the other piece ? Witness This appears to be cut; if it had been torn, it would be ragged like the other. I Thomas Sims, of Redcliff-crescent, rope manufacturer, de- posed that he had made many flat ropes during 40 years. Ex- amined the piece taken off the drum. I can see no fault in the interior of this rope—the material-but there is an error in the make by making it into six or eight ropes, instead of four, it would be stronger. Other evidence having been adduced, the following testimony was given:— Mr. Edward Reynolds, part proprietor of the coal-pit, de- posed that the whole management of the pit was entrusted to Mr. Stewart—there is no specific time for his being at the works—the machinery, ropes, &c., are under his direction. I consider him to be responsible for the soundness and good order of the ropes, &c., and he has the power and authority to rectify any default he may find, and that, too, without re- ferring to me or any other of the proprietors, and to order ropes, &c., or any thing wanting. He only came to the pit the 1st of May, and has made no report that I am aware of, ex- cept by word of mouth to me he has power to take on and discharge workmen. I believe he had power as to buying and selling, but he has never yet made use of that power I was in the habit of visiting the pit daily; I have never heard from 1\1 r. Stewart, nor from anyone whatever, that the rope was defective I had heard that the rope was too large and not fit for the work. Mr. Pillinger is the manager next in authority under Mr. Stewart; he is called "overman;" I do not know the extent of his authority Pillinger was only required to be there by day John Phillips was the overman by night. The usual colliers' day commences at from half-past three o'clock till four, but on Saturday it commences at twelve o'clock on Friday night. In the absence of Tillinger by day or Phillips by night, the day or night banksman took their place I was not at the pit at the time of the accident, but went there at five minutes past four. in consequence of the accident; I think only about 15 or 20 fathoms of rope remained attached to the drum; I saw that proper means were being taken to communicate with the bottom of the pit; a rope arrived shortly after from Northside colliery it was a flat rope, four strands wide, and 180 fathoms long as it was not long enough we attached a round rope to it of our own, and two men attempted to descend, but it was not safe, and the communication was afterwards effected by the aid of another flat rope lent by the old company. WhenI heard of the accident, we looked to Mr. Stewart as the re- sponsible party. James Self: On Friday afternoon I was about to go down the pit, when the journey hands had come up; and as they were coming up, just as they hauled the journey off the bottom of the pit, and began to move upwards, I saw the splice twist just before it came to the drum, but it went over safely, and I thought there was something the matter with the rope, but I did not mention it to any one. as we wanted to go down, and we could go down safely, as we were only going down to the top vein. The Coroner: Well, I can't understand it; here are men intimately acquainted, and yet a man seeing a rope which he considered dangerous, forbore to mention it to any one; it seems to me that you should have left a message with the banksmanthat the rope was dangerous The Coroner here strictly cross-examined the witness as to whether he had been offered any inducement to come before him. and give evidence. William Garland deposed that just after the accident he went to the pit, and saw Mr. Edward Reynolds there; he said. c, this is a bad job; did you not know of its being a bad rope ?" and he replied, Yes, for it had been spliced four or five times, and the man that made it ought to be hanged with it." On h riday the jury reassembled, and, at nine at night, re- urned a verdict of manslaughter against Mr. Moses Gildroy ewart (the manager of the Malago Vale and other pits in uie neighbourhood), and Henry Pillinger the sub-manager. iney were. therefore, taken into custody, being in an an-e- room. [Mr. Stewart had only lately left Swansea, where he had been connected with the South Wales Railway, and rormerJy mth collieries in the county of Glamorgan.]

CHALLENGE OF THE NEW YORK YACHT CLUB TO THE ENGLISH ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON. COWES, AUG. 13.—The yachting woild here is in a state of excitement as to the course which will be taken by the owner 01 the America, who as yet has rather mystified it. On Ihe other hand, the owners having given a general challenge, are waiting till it is taken up. The case stands thus :—When the America arrived, on the 2nd of August, at Cowes, Commodore Stevens issued the followiog challenge "The New York Yacht Club, in order to test the relative merits of the different models of the schooners of the Old and the New World, propose, through Commodore Stevens, to the Royal Yacht Squadron, to run the yacht America against any number of schooners belonging to any of the yacht squadrons of the kiogdom. to be selected by the Commodore of tbe Royal Yncht Squadron. The course to be on some part of the English Channel, outside of the Isle of Wight, with at least a six.knot breeze. This trta) of speed to be made at an early day, to be selected by the Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron. The fact whether there be such a breeze on the appoin ed day,to be decided by the Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron. And, if on that day there shall not be at least a six-knot breeze, then on the first day thereafter that such a bieeze shall blow." Here is the gage thrown down to the whole kingdom, the only stipuletion being that the America i. to be matched with schooners, and that she must at least have a six-knot breeze. The Royal Yacht Squadron immediately made Commodore Stevens and h s brother, who is owner of the America, and Col. Hamilton, who had come over in her, honorary members of the club; and in a letter dated the 8th of August, Commodore Stevens thanked the commitiee of the Royal Yacht Squadron for their courtesy, and said that he would sail in the regatta of 'he 13th. The greatest interest was of course felt in the forth- coming event, which certainly promised to be the most important in the annals |of yachting; but on the lIth of August Com- modore Stevens wrote to Mr. Bates, Secretary to the Royal Yacht Squadron, stating that after he had signified his intention to run OQ the I3th, he declared he would start against cutler, schooner, or vessel of any other rig of the Royal Yacht Squa- dron, on any day before the 17th instant, and that, therefore, he must beg to be permitted to withdraw from his entry on the 13th. The reason assigned is by no means satisfactory—at all events it has not much force about ii, and the yachtmen are hall inclined to regard it as a "dodging excuse;" but meaniime the Americans rest confidently in their challenge, and declare they "ill run against any yacht for any stake up to £10,000. It is believed the America will start for the Royal Yacht Squadron Cup, value 100 guineas, on Friday and meantime it is repotted that Mr. Wild, of the Alarm cutter, 193 tons, has sent a reply Jo the challenge, though at three o'clock to day Commodore Stevens knew nothing of it. The Americans have sent a requtsi to the Royal Yaoht Squadron's sailing committee to be allowed to "boom out," which is against the rules, but it is believed 'he committee will grant the tequest, the same liberty, of course, being granted to her competitors. The reason assigned for making the application is, that the greit rake in the America's masts prevents her having the full advantage of her sails in t> match, unless she booms them out." She has remained quietly at her moorings ever since her arrival, with one exception, when she took a stretch towards Spithead under easy sail, and crept away, neveitheless, from several yachts on the same course. It is rumoured that on hrr way from Havre she literally ran away, hand over hand, from a new cutter of 60 tons, and that she "sailed round another," and truth to tell, some gentlemen con- necled with Ihe clubs have a wholesome dread of her. and think we have caught a Tartar. The owner is most courteous to all visitors, and conducts them over his yacht, which, whatever may be her sailing powers, must be regarded as a model of ele- gant comfort inside. Her cabins, berths, &c., are fitted up in the best tnsle, with every attention to economy of space, and in a style ot luxurious simplicity. It would be difficult to describe her appearance without the aid of a pencil. She has a low black hull, two noble "sticks of eilreme rake," without an extra rope, and is altogether the beau ideal of what one is ac- customed to read about in Cooper's novels. When close to her you see that her bow i8 as shorp as a knife blade. and is "scooped away," as it were, outwards, till it Iwells towards the stero, the sides gradually spnngiog outwards, as round as an apple, till a little forward of the mainmast, where she has her greatest beam, being there 22 feet and some inches across. Her stern is remarkably broad and wide and lull, affording great accommodation on deck as well as below. She has no bulwarks —at least, they are not above nine or ten inches high. Thus she differs most materially from our vessels, and, if she he right (as the Marquis of Anglesey said), we must all be wrong.' Staoding at the stern and looking forward, the deck it nearly of a wedge-shape, the extreme beam being, as I have stated it, the bow as sharp as the apex of a triaogle, and the etern not very much less than the extreme breadth of beam. Her crew ( are very fine active looking seamen, and altogether, sail when she will, she is not to be despised bv the best boat we hare seeo, if appearances go for anything. During the yacht regatta at Ryde, on Friday last, the squa- dron of vessels which followed the sailing yachts were joined by the celebrated American yacht America, which has hurled such defiance to all competitors and, from the manner in which, one by one, she ioon distanced them, she satisfactorily proved that the pretensions ot "Brother Jonathan" to superiority "as no idle boast, and the numerous spectatois had a most convincing demonstration that her clipper-build and swift sailing had not been overrated, In fact, the "Great American" was the theme of general conversation, and attracted as much attention as the match itself.

10 EXECUTION AT NORWICH. NORWICH, SATURDAY.—The execution of Henry Groom took place this day at noon, on the public scaffold, erected in front of the county gaol at Norwich, before an immense con- course of persons." Groom, it will be remembered, was con- victed at the recent assizes for the wilful murder of John Ayton, who was shot while proceeding to pay some labourers, in the employ of the Earl of Leicester. The culprit since his condem- nation has been very penitent, and paid great attention to the spiritual instruction of the chaplain of the gaol, who has re- peatedly visited him. His awful situation had evidently affected him deeply, both physically and mentally, and his outward ap- pearance underwent a great change for the worse, during the brief period which has elapsed since his conviction. For some days past he had given up all hope of mercy, and it is reported that he made a confession to the chaplain. The body, after hanging the usual time, was cut down. —

DIOCESE OF ST. DAVID'S. The celebrated Archdeacon Williams, of Cardigan, has pub- lished a lengthened correspondence, between the Bishop of Davids, Sir Benjamin Hall, and himself, having reference to the state of the diocese for the purpose of showing that the statement of Sir Benj., in the House of Commons, that archi- diaconal visitations in the said diocese had been prevented by the Bishop, was true, notwithstanding the contradiction of Mr. Morris, M.P. From the correspondence, which is voluminous.we select the following letters—fair specimens of his lordship's and the re- doubtable archdeacon's style, respectively. No. 4. "THE BISHOP OF ST. DAVID'S TO THE ARCHDEACOK OF CARDIGAN. Abergwili, Carmarthen, July 14, 1851. "Dear Mr. Archdeacon,— Much as I was surprised to find, by your answer to my letter of the 4th, that, instead of directly replying to a question which related to a matter com- pletely within your own knowledge, you had thought proper first to consult Sir Benjamin Hall, my surprise has been in- creased by the contents of a. packet which I have now received from you. I do not allude to the perfectly uncalled-for transmission of my letter to Sir B. Hall, and of his letter tome. I fully appreciate the character of this proceeding, both with regard to the usages of society and the common dictates of Christian charity but, though I could not have expected it, it does not much surprise me. I am more surprised to find that, even now, you have returned no answer to my question, which related to a conversation which was stated to have taken place between you and Sir B. Hall, while your letter to him of February 10, instead of justifying the statement which he asserts you to have made, contains a clear proof to the contrary. For it appears that the first and last communication which you received from me on the subject, was a letter written to you while you were Principal of the Academy of Edinburgh, and that in this letter I was so far from forbidding you to act,' that I stated there was a legal hitch, which required removal,' but at the same time used expressions which led you to sup- pose that I should soon attempt to remove it.' This is your own report of the contents of my letter; and, as I have no copy of it, I cannot say whether this report conveys exactly the same impression as the original would. But it is sufficient to show that Sir Benjamin Hall had no written authority from you, even for his assertion with regard to yourself, much less, of course, for including the other archdeacon in it. Whether you made a different statement to him in con- versation, as you have not thought proper either to admit or deny, I, of course, remain as ignorant as ever. Such being the state of the case, on your own showing, it seems almost needless to add—and I do so only to prevent the possibility of a mistake—that I am not at all aware that it is not owing to you, but to myself or some dependant, that you have not performed your archidiaconal duties,' and that I very much doubt whether you have ever in any sense been aware of it yourself. "Whether I have reason to regret that your archdeaconry has hitherto been a sinecure, or to wish that it should cease to be so, must depend on the conception you have formed of its proper duties, and on the spirit in which you would set about the fulfilment of them. An archdeacon who was able and willing to look into the state of the parishes in his arch. deaconry, and to exert his official authority and his personal influence to set right what he found amiss in them, would indeed be an invaluable coadjutor to the bishop of such a diocese as this. But such aid I never have looked for, and now less than ever expect from yon. That you should periodi- cally assemble the clergy of the archdeaconry, in order to deliver your views to them in the form of a charge, may or may not be desirable in other respects but, as far as concerns the improvement of the condition of the diocese, it is the part of tne archidiaconal duty about which I am least interested. But I have never either forbidden or prevented your discharging it, and never shall do so. "I am, dear Mr. Archdeacon, Your faithful servant, "C. ST. DAVID'S. The Venerable Archdeacon of Cardigan."

No. 5. THE ARCHDEACON OF CARDIGAN TO THE BISHOP Of ST. DAVID'S. Llandovery, July 18,1851. My Lord, It will be necessary for me to reply to your last letter seriatim, dated the 4th inst. Your lordship had intimated that it was very possible that Sir Benjamin Hall had not held any conversation with me on the non-performance of my archidiaconal duties. As I was perfectly aware that such a conversation had taken place at Llanover, I, before answering your lordship's letter, felt it my duty, as well as a matter of courtesy, to communicate with him on the subject, especially as I could not be certain that The Times, to which you referred me, had accurately reported the baronet's words. The result of that communication has already been made known to your lordship, but, as your lordship seems to desire a more particular detail of the facts of the case, I proceed to give them. During a visit I made to Llanover, during the Christmas vacation, Sir Benjamin Hall, in the course of conversation, expressed his regret to me that the church in the diocese of St. David's was, to use his own words, in so disgraceful a state,' and asked why the archdeacons of that diocese did not perform their duty especially why I, as one of those arch- deacons, did not make visitations. I stated in reply, without reference to any other arch- deacon, that I had never visited, though quite ready for a. long period to visit my district. Nay, more, that I had long ago written a charge in both the English and Welsh lan- guages, but had been prevented from delivering it by your lordship, and most assuredly, my lord, I was so prevented; in proof of this I enclose for your lordship's perusal a copy of that part of the most important letter addressed to me by your lordship, which will fully prove the truth of my assertion. If your lordship did not suspend any further action on my part until some indefinite period, the termination of which was not within either my power or knowledge, common words and common sentences have no definite meaning. Since my residence at Llandovery, I again, by letter, suggested as respectfully as possible, my "dissatisfaction with my inert posi- tbn, and stated that a certain principle according to which I heard that your lordship justified yourself for not availing yourself of the services of the other archdeacons, did not apply to my case. Of this (1 may call it) gentle remonstrance on my part your lordship never condescended to take the slightest notice. I was therefore obliged to conclude that either pre- vious obstacles of a legal form still existed, or that the real obstacle was in your lordship's unwillingness to allow me to act; and your last letter lias served only to increase all previous doubts and uncertainties. "Ami to conclude that, if your lordship intends, as far as your own will is concerned, not to prevent me from entering upon the performance of my archidiaconal duties, so also that all the legal obstacles, which at a previous period prevented my so acting, have also disappeared? If not, will your lord- ship refer me to any enactment, legislative or ministerial, for the removal of such hindrances, as I am now particularly anxious to see my way very clearly on this subject ? Will you also allow me to add, that your lordship's disquisition upon the double duty of an archdeacon, and your anticipation of a probable failure in both departments on my part, are not only far from consoling or encouraging me in my course, but leave me in doubt as to what your lordship's own views and wishes on the subject are ? Therefore, as it is my anxious desire to act in accordance with any directions with which my diocesan may be pleased to favour me, I shall be extremely obliged if your lordship will be so good as to give distinct answers to the three following quenes — Does there still exist any legal hindrance to the per- formance of my archidiaconal duties ? Secondly, if any such does exist, what is it ? "Thirdly, if not, does your lordship desire that I should make my visitation? These are very plain questions, and I hope your lordship will be pleased to give as plain answers. If your lordship desires me to perform my duties as arch- deacon, I am prepared to act accordingly; but if, alter this declaration on my part, your lordship will not state your desire that I should make my visitation, I shall refrain from so doing, and shall consider that. as I have hitherto been prevented, so am I still most positively prevented by your lordship. "I am your lordship's obedient servant, "JOHN WILLIAMS." At the close of the correspondence, the archdeacon, con- sidering his course now unimpeded by any difficulties on the part of his diocesan, thus writes:- Under these circumstances, and considering that I am now no longer prevented by your lordship from performing the duties of my office, I shall proceed to fulfil them as soon as circumstances enable me, not merely by the delivery of a charge (which I consider only a portion of my duty), but by a strict inquiry into the state of the archdeaconry, with a view to remedy the existing and often-published abuses. "When my visitation is concluded, I will do myself the honour of sending your lordship a copy of my charge, and also forward to your lordship a report of the state of that part of your lordship's diocese which lies within the arch- deaconry of Cardigan. "Should I find any difficulty in the performance of any legal act appertaining to my office, I will state such difficulty to your lordship, in the hope that, as the bishop of the diocese, as a member of the Ecclesiastical Commission, and as a member of the Legislature, your lordship will not allow another period of eight years to elapse, without enabling your archdeacons to fulfil the duties of their office; and I now beg to close the present correspondence. I am, my lord, your lordship's, &c., "JOHN WILLIAMS. To the Right Rev. the Bishop of St. David's."

ASCENT OF MONT BLANC BY ALBERT SMITH. CHAMONIX, AUG. 14.—This quiet Alpine valley has for the last week, been in a most unusual slateof activity and excitement. About seven days ago, the people learned that three students from the University of Oxlord, and an English author, were get- ting themselves into condition for attempting the ascent of Mont Blanc. Guides and villagers were at once on the qui vive, and the adventurous party were regarded with much interest, where- sover they went. On Tuesday morning, at seven o'clock, all the preparations being complete, the party set out from the Hotel de Londies. It included Mr. Floyd,said to be a son of the general of that name, and cousin of Sir Robert I'eel; Mr. Phillips, a third Oxfordman, and Mr. Albert Smith, with sixteen guides, sixteen porters, and a number of aspirants fer the post of guide, who attended the voyagers aod their paid party, for ilie purpole of learning the route to the summit of the mountain. After their departure, telescopes were fixed from the windows of the ion, and in other places, to watch the progress of the toilsome ascent, aj be ore six o clock it was evident the voyager# had crossed the great glacIer, and hlld arrived at their resnnc place for the n.ght-on the Grand. Mulets. Yesterday mornin8, as soon is daylight afforded a clear view the adventurers were again visible by aid of a good glass, and by twelve o'clock were aeen making the final ascent. They rested on the summit for about twenty minutes, and then commenced their descent, arriving here last night about seven o'clock. The excitement during the previous twenty-four hours had been very great in Chamonix. Anxious wives and parents having husbands and sons among the party up in the snows, and the interest being by no means di- minished by the fact that Sir Robert Peel (who had arrived here. after the departure of his relative for the ascent) invited nearly all the men remaining in the village, about sixty in number, to an entertainment at ao auberge, where they were supplied witb wine aod other popular II quids, in which to drink "tbe health of the Englishmen who were sleeping on Mont Blanc." This ceremony was pel formed very zealously, and repeated in the most willing manner again and again till long after midnight. When ia the evening the party from Mont Blanc approached the village, nearly alllhe inhabitants assembled to meet them. Gons were fired in quick succession the harps and fiddles of the valley were in requisition, and a soit of half comical half Iriumphal scene ensued. The travellers and guides looked very jaded and sun-scorched, and had very blood shoteyesand rather dilapidated costumes but, in other respects, seemed to be in tolerable condition. This successful ascent by four Englishmen, turns the scale of numbers in favour of the English the French tourists having been hitherto accustomed to point with satisfac- tion to the fact, that more of their couutrvmen than of ours had succeeded in reaching the top of the King of the Alps. The present forms the 25th ascent—the first dating in 1787. The :ost as well as the labour and danger of these daring excursions is very great. The talk ot the vIllage declares that the ascent will cost the party of four travellers fully £150.

NEW ACT TO IMPROVE THE ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE. The new Act, which will come in force in a few days, for fur- 1 -th 1{Vproving 'he administration of criminal justice (14th and • k lcf0r,a,cap. 100) has just been printed. The object of tne new law, which was brought forward by Lord Campbell, is to get rid of the legal technicalities which often defeat justice, it being declared that such technical strictness may safely be re- laxed in many instances, so as to ensoie the punishment of the guilty, without depriving the accused of any just means of de- fence." Another object of the Act is, to correct variances be. tween the statements in indictments and the proof of names, dates, and circumstances, which have frequently caused a failure of justice. By this Act. criminal courts are empowered to amend certain variances not material to the merits of the case, and by which a defendant cannot be prejudiced in his defence, and may either proceed with or postpone the trial, to be had before the same or another jury. In any indictment for murder or manslaughter, after the coming of this Act into operation, it will not be necessary to set forth the manner or the means by which the injury was inflicted, nor will it be necessary, in cases of forgery, &cM to prove that the intention was to defraud a particular person; but It shall be sufficient to prove that the defendant did the act charged, with an intent to defraud." On the trial of an indictment for robbery, the jury may convict of an assault with intent to rob. A peison tried for misdemeanour need not be acquitted it 'he offence turns out to be a felony. Coin and bank notes may be described simply as money. After specifying other matters in which parties may be convicted on indictments, there are several provisions respecting indictments for perjury, one of which is to the effect that judges of the supe* rior courts, justices of 'he peace, commissioners of bankruptcy, and insolvency, and county courts, may direct indictments e 11 forperjurv. The Act will come inlo operation on the 1st of September.

THE DEAN OF YORK SUMMONED FOR CHURCH RATES. -On Thursday, at the Guildhall, the Dean of York was charged with not having paid £1 12s. church-rates in respect of ■ he deanery to the parish officer of St. Micbael-le-Belfrey. The dean submitted, first, that the deanery is not in the parish of St. Michael-le-Belfrey and, secondly, that it had been the custom, for many hundreds of years, not to assess the deanery for church-rates; also, that the deanery was extra-parochial After some discussion, the magistrates confirmed the rfttSj which was at once paid by tha deMercury, i
