Crmmtsat Courr.—Before the Court ad- journed on the 15th instant, the following pa- per was presented to it by the Grand Jary Representation of the Grand Jury respecting the common Jail of Washington count: The Grand Jury for the county of Washing- ton, im the District of Columbia, having dis- cha: the duties assigned to them, and being about to close the business of the term, ily represent, that in conformity with geners! usage, and under a sense of duty, they paid a visit, on the Sth instant, to the county ail, where they were attended by the Deputy Marshal and one of the jail sot and shown all over the prison. The Grand Jury have pleasure in representing to the honor able Court that they found the rooms and cells clean and comfortable, the prisoners appa- rently healthy and duly supplied with whole- some food and warm clothing. No complaiats of any kind were made by the prisoners to the Grand Jury, who thence conclude that they are humanely treated and properly attended to by the warden and the jril guards. The Grand Jury, however, deem it their duty to express their conviction that the prison is in secure, incommodious, ill constructed and ill suited in many respects for the purposes of a county jail; and they unite with thoss who have preceded them on the (trand Inquests of this county, in condemning the prison as wn ft for use, hoping that the time is not distant when Congress, in its wisdom and liberality, will make the necessary appropriation for a new county jail, which will admit of a proper classification of prisoners, a complete separa- tion of the juvenile offender from the hardened and incorrigible convict, which classification, they regret to perceive, is altogether imprac- ticable in the present ill constructed edifice. In view of the increased and increasing number of juvenile offenders in this District, of which sad evidence has been presented to the Grand Jury during the present term, they cannot help expressing their earnest desire, that, either by Congress, the Corporation of Washington, or its citizens, a house of refuge or reform for juvenile offenders, may be speed- ily provided. There is no subject of more vital importance to the welfare and character of our city than that to which we now advert, and our sincere wish is that it may engage the public attention, so as to prevent, in the way suggested, the increase of juvenile crim- inals, and their almost inevitable destruction by imprisonment in the jail or penitentiary. F. Mippneros, Foreman. Ovr Orrice Boy Savev! - Oar office boy Jobn. whom we mentioned yesterday as miss- ing in the storm, has turned up again after og experiences inthe snow. He had, s. forced a “ northwest passage” to the post fice with immense difficulty ; had bagged euch of the Star's exchanges as reached the post « fice before the commencement of the reat storm, and with his load undertook to force bis way back to this office against the tempest cf blinding snow. Inch by inch, and by exertions almost superhuman, he got down as far as the corner of D and Seventh streets, when an avalanche of snow from the roof of the Intelligencer office buried him ‘‘ deeper than plummet ever sounded ;"’ so deep, in fact, that John deemed it no use to try to get out, and he accordingly laid back patiently to wait for a general thaw. By the merest chance in the world the attention of a compositor, (working by gos light) in the Intelligen- cor office, was attracted by the phenome- non of sa No. 10 brogan resting against the window-pave (second story) near bie care. To ascertain that a boy was attached to the brogan, to snake him through the window, to shake him and ‘set him up,’’ was bat the work of a moment. _ John is now in the next room, detailing bis experiences in the snow to an excited circle of press boys Singularly enough, he appears to bave suffered little from the cold; whether warmed by the beat of his breath or by a pep- pery copy of the New York Tribune among the exchanges, we cannot say. His sense of hearing w ¢ materially affected by tho snow, ard collects distinctly hearing the inquiry of some person passing on the street, addressed to another, ‘‘Ain't this one of the snow storms!’ and the answer, ‘‘ Wel! it is!"’ Crry Covscits —In the Board of Aldermen. last night, a quorum not being present, they adjourned.

Hopes of peace preponderate, however. Meantime the Ameri- can Minister to Switzerland has gone to Berlin to offer, as is reported, the mediation of the United States. Other improbable reports of good offices on the part of the United States prevailed. The message of the President of the Swiss Federation is published The substance of it is that all the foreign Ministers at Berne made & proposal to the Swiss authorities to give up the trial of the Neufchatel prisoners, and that their respective Governments would endeavor to induce Prussia to recognise the absolute in- dependence of Neufchatel. The proposition fell to the ground. The Federal Assembly, before adjourning, passed decrees that the Federal Council will continue their endeavors to procure a pacific recognition of the independence of Neutchatel approving the military levies as ordered, granting unlimited credit and authority to the Federal Council to take ulterior meatures to defend the country to the last extremity, and author Hd a loan of thirty millions of franes.

Sir: As there is reason to believe that come misconception prevails as to the extent of the privileges conferred by a certificate of natu- ralisation, 1 am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to explain to you that no certifi- cate. or other act of naturalization granted by the British government to an alien, places him beyond the lawfal power and control of his native country, unless he has received from the government 4f such country a certifi cate of denationalization, or been released from his original obligations as a subject or citizen in some other legal way.
