Richmond Circuit Court.

--The Grand Jury were in attendance on Saturday, and adjourned over until Monday at 12 o'clock. Several Penitentiary convicts, who had been twice convicted and sentenced to imprisonment in that institution, were brought in to receive the additional sentence prescribed by law in such cases: John Adams, otherwise called John Williams, twice convicted of forgery, (the second time in Richmond,) declined to answer whether he was the same person mentioned in the several records of information, and the question was settled by a jury; whereupon the prisoner was sentenced to five years further service. Jonathan White, convicted for horse-stealing in Smythe and larceny in Rockbridge county--sentenced to five years imprisonment. Robert P. Hughes, convicted for receiving stolen goods in Campbell and grand larceny in Halifax — same sentence. Thomas Owen, for similar offences in the same counties — same sentence. Wm. E. Johnson alias Michael McNoir, convicted for grand larceny in Lynchburg and bigamy in Nansemond — same sentence. Charles Douglass, convicted for burglary, and wounding with intent to kill, in Marshall county--same sentence.

Five foreigners were naturalized on Saturday.
