LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Caimi¥at Court. —The Court met this morn- ing, and the clerk reat the following report from the grand jury : Pe!

The grand jury found the prison in as clean and cone table a condition as, under the circumstances above referred to, could be reasonably ex It Is also a matter of serious regret to the grand jury that a suitable ball or additional buildin; has not been provided for the use of the Criminal Court, without subjecting the judye, the grand jary, and the officers of that court to the incon- venience and bumiliation of accepting accommo- dation when the two conrts are in session, as at —) by the temporary occupation of the cham- re ofthe CityCouncils The grand jury would also express their regret, that ow! of a safe and suitable apartme! considerable age of the court — are “pt at oe oe at ais te leading to the clerk’s an ey * » im the cat wing of the City alk it must be obvious, and experience shows, that the rétords as now exposed are liable to be muti- Jated, |) destroyed or stolen, by mischiev- ous and Interested persons.

Now, althongh the grand jury have not failed to make present- ments in some caxex for constabulary and magis- terial delinquencies, believing it is the officer's duty under the existing law to act without fee or to the want reward in the cases above referred to, it rs to the —< 9 neither unjust, impolitic nor ua reasonal the law of Congress should be 0 modified as to allow compensution, in some or form, to the magistrate as well as the con- . who spends his time, bis money, bis health and orp aa ang ~s on of ree fa the arrest Persons charged with rioting, fo 2 and assault with intent to ‘kili—offences, wend are certainly not of a trivial character, which subject the convicted parties to punishment in the itentiary. The Grand Jury cannot conclude this report recommendation without tendering to the to the honorable Court and the Acting District Attorney acknowledgements for their valuable advice, afforded, when requested, through the foremaa Respectfully submitted, by order of the Grand Jury Ww. Gusxton, Foreman. February 5, 1868. The Court ordered that twocopies of the above report be made, and that one copy be laid before the appropriate committee of each house of Con- gress by the District Attorney. The Court then took up the case of Benjamin Robinson. free negro, charged with killing one ‘Thomas Turner. The case was pending when this report closed. Ixctpents oF TuE Fink at Lioyp’s Horet.— Circumstances have been ascertained to prove ‘that the fire which destroyed this hotel on the suerning of Monday, lst February, was the work of ae incendiary. It would be imprudent, at present, to make public our reasons for the asser- dion. Mr. Lloyd, the proprietor, indefatigable, 4bough unfortunate, has the facts; we need not Marther refer to them. An overruling Providence ordered the salvgticn of the inmates of this hotel A gentleman and lady from Georgetown arrived at the Depot one hour in advance of the opening for the early Baltimore train. The gentleman, seeing a great light in the transom of the bar- room door, aud spreading into the ladies’ parlor above it, gave the alarm . A iew minutes afterwards hage volumes of smoke filled the whole building —every moment decoming more and more suffeca . Each in- mate of the house was forced to pick bastil up such articles of deess as they had laid aside on retiring and run for their tives in their night rene.

Every thing else was consumed Mrs. Chancery, an estimable lady, of fine ac- complistiments, a yoverness, lost her clothing and eighty dollars in money, her own bard earn. lage. The Rev. Father Hannegan lost bis clothing, other than what he hed hastily gathered up, b breviary and other valuable books, togetber with @ small amount of money. Johu Delafield, Esq., of Missouri, who had jast delivered two very® original, eloquent aud instructive lectures, vindicating the truth of Ho- ly Writ as explained by science and revelation, and showing their unity—lost his trank, con- taining his stock of clothing, valuable books. and important legal and other Papers, among which was a long and labored article 10 relation to an important fezal business which bad ealled him here, together with all bis money, which be bad inhis trunk. This gentleman was to have started home on the very day of the tire.
