The grand jurors were much pleased with the arrangements of the new Ptmitentiarv.

It 1b cauaoious. well ventilated, and when completed will compare' well with any similar Institution elsewhere. The grand jurors were well satisfied with the general appearance and condition of the Lunatic Asylum at Flat bush, though they Were impressed With the lm portance and necessity of more ample aocom .1 nnhn Via afforded by the new building now nearly com pleted, The Alma House Is well managed, under the superintendence of Mi Samuel Meyers, who is an emcient and iaitmui public omcer. The Grand Inquest deem it their duty to call the attention ot tne proper authorities to the deplorable condition of the Small Pox Hospital at Flatbush. It is too small lor the proper accommodation of the patients, and badly ventilated.

It would seem that patients umioted witn a disease requiring such Bkiiful treatment should have more ample and convenient appartments. The Grand Jurors also visited the County Jail. They were much pleased with its general appearance, and believe it to be well managed by the authorities who have it in charge. Dated July 3, 1854. Signed Joseph S.

The Murders nod Burning In Jeflarson County We have received from a friend the following letter, detailing the incidents of the murder of Mr. Moore and bis wife and Bister in law, and the subsequest burning of the murderer in Jefferson county, Danbridge, June 21, 1854. Tbe deplorable scenes oi horror which have occurred in this county within' the. last week, are peculiarly thrilling, and strske every heart with a sting of poignant regret, which beggars description. On last Wednesday night, whilst Elijah Moore, his wife and sister in law were enjoying at home thtt joy and pleasure which could alone be realised in calm repose in their own domicil, a servant of saia Moore stole quietly into the room in which they were sleeping, and without provication, murdered Moore most brutally with an axe.

Mrs. Moore being awakened by the blows upon her husband, entreated him to desist, and lor this kind entreaty, lrom an indulgent mistress be felled her to the floor and murdered hrr with the same axe. The scenes thus perpetrated aroused Mibs Lotspeecb, the sister of Mrs. Moore, a young ladp of fine iamily and unexceptionable character who ran to the bed where her sister and brother iu law were eing immersed In murder and their own blood but the horror of the picture before her overawed her, and she sprang back to her own bed. The fiend with hellish purposes approached her, and after violent struggles between in which he broke her left arm, bruised her left shoulder, throat and chin very severely, he finally accomplished his hell born purposes and took also her innocent life.

Thus, by the hand of a furious slave, who had never been wronged, but too kindly treated, three valuable lives, of our most respectable and highly esteemed citizens, have been taken and rnsOed, without previous notice, into the presence of the Great Ruler ol the universe. I learn they were exempla members of the Methodist church. The indignation of our people was intense and had no bounds. A large number assembled and began a vigilant and thorough search for the hardened wretch, and on last Sabbath, about 12 o'clock, he was arrested. On the day following be suffered at the stake by the torch that penalty which his infamy deserved, and was burned to death at one o'clock, in a few hundred yards of the place where the murders were committed.

About one thousand citizens (vere present, and the execution was performed coolly and beliber and in the large assembly there was not a dissenting voice to the execution. This violent measure was adopted in this county as a means of absolute necessary solf defence, which could not be secured by an ordinary resort to the laws. Two executions on the gal Iowb have occurred in this county within a year or two past, and the example has been unavailing. Four executions by hanging have taken place in Jefferson, of slaves guilty of similar offences, and it has produced no radical terror or example for the others designing the same crime, and hence, any example less horribl and terrifying would have availed nothing. DestbuctiosVdf the Bichmondvillb Semina Great Loss of Property.

We regret to learn that the Richmondvills Union Seminary is again in ashes. The fire broke out between four and five o'clock on Friday afternoon. It was first.discovered between the joists aLd the roof, near the belfry. The main building was five stories high and upwards of 150 feet long. The fire spread with great rapidity, and waB at once beyond reach, and rapidly consumed the edifice, being of wood.

Tbe students, numbering over 290, male and female, escaped without injury. They saved most of their effects. The building was new, having been erected during the past year. It was first occupied in October last. It was built in the most improved style, at a cost of $50,000, a portion of which was covered by insurance, but to what extent we do not know.

This is the second time this seminary has been destroyed by fire. The first conflagration oc cured iu September, 1852, after having been occupied but a few weeks. There was a rumor that two female pupils were burnt to death. Albany During Commodore Perry's late visit to Japan himself and suite were entertained at a feast by the natives. Cooked worms, fried snakes, and.

a variety of indigestible compounds were served of which they were obliged to partake through etiquette. Hereafter, a strong stomach may be considered as a high recommendation to our Japan diplomatists. Prayer to the Point. Rev. Mr.

The Fourth of July The Day In Ibis City and KltKwhltrt. The Seventy Eighth Anniversary of American Independence, was celebrated yesterday through, oat the Union, with the enthusiasm which it noAiren. Th American Revolution was an event without a parallel in history. Greater achievements in a military point of view have been recorded, more splendid and dazzling feats than any which marked that period, have been accomplished bnt never before did liberty, calm, rational and majestic, with a basis broad and Btead'ast as the moantains and a summit reaohing to tne heavens, avoiding the Scylla of anarchy on one side and the Charybdis or ues notism on the other never before was liberty crowned with suoh a glorious and immortal diadem. An assemblage of patriots, representing a population of but three millions, bnt with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Provi dence," cast down the gauntlet in the face of the most powerful empire on the earth, and alter a series of bloody struggles, recorded in the bosom of every American, came forth triumphant.

The foundations of our free institutions were laid beyond the revolution the seed was sown in good ground and the effort that shook off tor ever on alien yoke was but its bursting through the clod. Hence the Revolution was no ill de fined and sudden ebullition of popular exasperation, bat a calm and resolute assertion by snirita trained to freedom ot the rights they knew how to maintain. As their motives were pore and their virtues equal to their courage so has God blessed the work they accomplished. The commerce of the country has since 1821, increas according to official Treasury reports, fifty fold. The population has increased in less than eighty years from three to tweaty three millions; ninety thousand public schools dispense instruction to all, arid prosperity Bpreads its wings over the entire land "as ashen gatnereth her chickens." That the future will be worthy of the past admits not of a doubt.

The problem of sell government has been fully solved, and the very excesses of liberty correct themselves. The breath of excitement and fanaticism may occasionally flatter among the shrouds at the mast head, but there is a ballast of common sense to keep the vessel of State steady on her career. The celebration of yesterday was accompanied by few accidents or occurrences of a nature cal culated to damp the ardor or diminish the plea sures of the occasion. THE DAT IK BROOKLYX. In narrating the celebration of the day in Brooklyn we might echo the exulting words of Jobs Adams, when he wrote to announce to his wife tne Declaration of Independence, that the anni versary should be observed to all; time with ths ringing oi bells, the.flr.ng of cannons, the hoist ing of flags on shipping, and other public demonstrations of joy.

At sunrise a salute fired by the Napper Tandy artillery, who also fired another' at noon. At daylight the church bells pealed forth to welcome the return of the Nation's birth day. The flags were hoisted on the City Hall and all the public buildings, from the Eagle office and many private dwellings. The shipping in the bay, the vessels at the Navy Yard, and the ferry boats were also gaily decorated with flags, displaying an immense pro fusion of Btars and stripes. The Fourteenth Begiment assembled at the Armory in the morning, and paraded through the principal streets.

Alter the dismissal of the Begiment, one of the companies National Guard, Captain Spragce proceeded to New Haven, and were escorted to the boat by the City Captain Bub sbtt. The 70 th regiment of artillery assembled at ths Armory with the intention of proceeding to "Wiliiamsburgh, but the beat was so intense that it was impossible to march beneath the weight of military equipments, unless under Borne great necessity, so the company after marching to near Bedford was dismissed. They were previously reviewed by the Mayor and some of the Aldermen in front of the City Hall. The Meagher Guards left the city in the morning, but we did not learn their destination. In the evening an immense concourse of citizens assembled on Fort Greene to witness the display of fireworks.

There were certainly not less than forty thousand persons on the spot. The pieces were splendid specimens of the pyrotechnic art especially the last Washington reading his farewell address whioa was a magnificent production. The eveniag was clear and the atmosphere just in the condition to give effect to the fireworks. The pyrotechnists are the Messrs. Edge of Jersey nnder whose supervision the display was mads.

A good band was in attendance, and the police were vigilant in the performance of their dnties. Throughout the.day every thing passed off in good style. Special praise is due to the committee of arrangements lor the admirable manner in which they discharged their duties. A few allowed their enthusiasm to get the better of their discretion and found themselves on intimate terms with the curb stone but these cases were few and far between. a HE DAT IN NEW YORK.

In New York the celebration was marked by the usual "chapter of accidents." The morning salute was fired from the Battery by a detachment from the First Brigade. The noon salute at the arae place was given under direction of Brigadier General Yates. During the forenoon the military paraded uuder command of Major General Sakpford. The line was formed at 8 o'clock on Broadway. A number of sun strokes occurred pmong the military and bands.

Adkixs, of the band that bears that name, was BnnBtrack, and had not. recovered at 6 o'clock this morning. The Veteran Corps of the War of 1812, accompanied by Captain Pierce's Company of Continentals and a band of music, proceeded to the Ocean House, Shrewesbury, by invitation of the proprietor, where they were treated to an excellent 4th of July dinner. JameB Owens, 14 years of age, residing at No. $4 Centre street, while playing with some gunpowder yesterday morning, had his face, breast and arms burned in a shacking manner by the premature explosion the powder.

He was to the City Hospital. John McCarty, residing in Oliver street, was seriously Injured yesterday afternoon by the explosion of a pistol which be was in the act of discharging. John Wilton, a resident ot Oak street, had his thumb blown off by a ailar cause in Abingdon Square. terday, and several were of a serious charaoter, resulting mostly in the careless use of firearms. William Dillon," whose parents reside in Bond street, near IJutler, had one of his hands dreadfully Iterated by the premature discharge of a pistol he was engaged in loading." A boy named Lbdlajs, whose parents reside in Middagh street, was seriously injured by the explosion of a Bmall cannon, which he was firing in the bask yard.

Part of the metal struck one of his legs near the knee and disabled him. Daring the display of fireworks on Fort Greene, a rocket from one of the pieces set off, flew in an opposite direction from that intended, and struck a lady sitting within the ropes, upon the mouth, and knocked out several of her teeth. The dress of a woman sitting alongside, was considerably damaged from the Bame cause. The name of the first lady is McLaughlin, wife of the Assistant Captain of the Second District Police. Michael Conner, in walking along Tillary street near Bridge, was fired at with a pistol, and the charge perforated his coat, inflicting a slight wound in bis shoulder.

The charge, it ap pears, was nothing but wadding. Bridget Earl was fired at with a pistol in Kent near Atlantic avenue, the fellow who had the weapon, taking deliberate aim. Fortunately, she was not struck, the charge passing close by her, however. Wm. Williams, aged 13 years, had both his eyes injured by the explosion of powder in a store in Myrtle avenue, ubout which he was playing with his crackers.

The sight of one eye is destroyed that of the other, doubtful. He is at the Hospital. Railroad Accidents.
