THEFT AND GA Nondav
evening last, during the performances
at the theatre, q youth named J. S.
Turner, about twenty years old, put hi,
hand through the ticket window ant
stole thirty dollars that were within
reach. He was observed and caught
within rod or two of the theatre
On Tuesday morning he was taken
before Justice Anderson, plead guilty.
and was sentenced to ten lashes, which
were duly administered, but not Sc
veroly,
1t is to be hoped the lesson this youth
has learned will have proper influence
on him. The moral effect on the re-
ceiver of public whippings we have not
determined in our own mind. With
some temperaments the consciousness Of
disgrace will operate to prevent q return
to the paths of rectitude, for though the
community have forgotten it, the man
has not, and he sees on every face, de-
rision, where none is meant. With
others, the severe lesson will have the
effect to deter from again laying them
selves liable to it. But the proper pun
shment for crime is in Imprisonment
and hard labor, where the criminal has
time for reflection, and the depths oil
passion and shame are not stirred up
by public gnomny.

A RIcn tAD.-A valuable and beau.

ba Joint Stock Company was exhibited
to us on Tuesday last, another evidence
added to tho accommodating pile, that
the aurifcrous quartz Of northern Cali

embrace an unbounded wealth. The
specimen in question seemed to have
been originally u massive crystal, into
which the gold had penetrated, and
from every side of which it peeped out
in shining scales and points. Several

mass. This specimen was taken from

JUSTICES OF THE pEAcE--A most i'm
portant decision of The Supreme Court
of this State has just been pronounced
in San Francisco. 1t is to the effect
that Justices of the Peace may hold
courts any where in their counties, for
the trial of ciuR cases. While a defen-
dant cannot be compelled to answer u
suit in any other township than the one
in which he resides, each Justice Of the
Peace may issue process to any town
ship Of the county, returnable before
himself at some place in that township.
1t follows that the inhabitants of town
ships which have failed to elect Justices
can have their causes tried in their own
towns and thus save themselves the
inconvenience and expense of the travel
of witnesses to distant place of trial
