REPORTS or THE SUPREME CoURT.-We begin
this morning the publication Of The Decisions of the
Supreme Court in new form, with the hope that
they may be useful TO our numerous readers in the
city and throughout the State. The decisions of
this Court being quoted as authority upon the con-
struction of the law in the other Courts of the State
il is important not only to the members of the bar,
but to the people generally, that they should receive
early publication in such shape to he clearly I'M
derstood and with such evidences of authenticity
as to he relied upon We have, therefore, secured
the services of Perry S. WarfeId, Esq, whose
ability, industry, and accuracy, well known to
our bench and bar, TO supply with these reports
in full when il may be necessary, but in con-
densed form, when by condensation no material
fact or legal point is omitted. They will thus serve
as authority to the Judge and the lawyer, where
such authority is desirable, and will show to every
citizen the manner in which the highest Judicial
tribunal in the State interprets the laws which
govern his life and property, and enable him to
comporr himself and conduct his business accord
ingIy-if he can. e

THE LATEST HoAx-Within the last two weeks
says the Philadelphia Ledger of the 18TH highly
imaginative genius, representing himself to be the
son of Mr.. Lister, the proprietor the ST. Charles
Theatre of New Orleans, made his appearance in
our midst, and though of an ordinary appearance,
and apparently possessing but little address, he has
managed to delude at least a hundred persons into
the belief that he was the person he pretended to
be. He called upon Mr.. Michael Pray, the owner
of large lot of ground in Fourth street, between
Brown and Poplar, on part Of which circus has
recently been built, and negotiated with him for the
purchase of the whole property Lister, after agree
ing to his terms, delivered check for $500 upon
the Bank of North America as an earnest of the
bargain. [Messrs. Ludlow d Smith are the pro-
prietors of the ST. Charles Theatre

CALlFoRNIA.-The Boston Traveller contains
the following extracts, confirming what we pub
lished yesterday:
Letters have been received by one of our most
respectable houses, stating that their agent in Cali
fornia had shipped S26O,0OO in gold to England,
and that there was upwards of tW0 millions of dol
lars ready to be shipped to this city New York; as
soon as vessels could be found to bring it. This
amount is independent of the stock held and con-
signed to other Places
Another letter from the same sourcel contains
the following extract of letter dated San Francis
co, Oct. 18th, the writer of which is agent of a
California house in New Nork:
:" can't get men even al SIS per day to put up
the buildings that want and at this rate they will
not work over six or seven hours per day. This is
not SO surprising when | assure you that several
persons of my acquaintance who have returned.

Merchants with capital will make immense for

letter received in this city from the gold region
says: bread is getting TO be scarcer than gold -
The writer says that those who land on the coast
with money in their pockets, do very well, but adj
vlses no one to come unless he can calculate upon
surplus after paying for his passage.
