GOLD BY THE ToN.-Mr. D. K. Minor,
in a note to the editor of The New York
Herald estimates the amount Of gold receiv-
ed at San Francisco, during the year ending
March 81, 1852, at over one hundred tons
and he says that the produce Of the gold
mines of California will exceed one hundred
and thirty tons during the wear commence
ing on the frs, Of April, 1852, and lermi-
mating on The frs, of April, lS53-or, about
sixty three millions of dollars"
The gold mines Of Australia are supposed
10 be equally productive as those of Cali
fornia; SO that the future influx Of gold may
be set down a, from two hundred 10 two
hundred and fifty tons per annum-or say,
one hundred millions of dollars per annum.
This enormous increase of The metallic me-
dium must have great influence on COM
mercisl and other affairs. The prices of
everyshing-land, labor and products, mus,
advance.
We see tina, emigration from New York
10 Australia, has commenced upon pretty
large scale. A vessel which sailed on Sun
day last, took gu. 233 passengers, and an
other is to sail on the 10Th inst. Fortunes
it appears, are to be made rapidly in that
distant land, and Of course, there will be
great influx of population. A number Of
vessels are advertised to sail for tina. land
of gold during the present month, and regu-
lar packets are being established.

The FREsHEr-TnE CRops.-The Marlboro
Gazette, of Wednesday last, says:-The continuous
rains OF lastweek caused very considerable fresh
ct in the streams here-abouts On Saturday anG
Sunday the branches and little streams were i'm
passable, and. the bridges having been swept a.
way, there was total suspension of travel on
those days. A vast amount of property has been
destroyed. Tobacco, Corn, Hay, Fences and
Timber have been swept away in large quantities;
IN TACT the violence of the water has left scarcely
anything standing upon the low grounds.
=, A little negro boy belonging to GEORGE w.
a1LLEARY, Esq, was drowned in the attempt to
ford small stream
we have not heard from other parts of the coun-
ty, but in this vicinity the damage to the outstand
ing crops has been incaculabIe. Vast fields of
corn have been Frustrated and otherwise injured
Inc tobacco crop Is nearly ruined. The force
OF The rain was SO great as to riddle the tobacco
leaves In such manner that great deal Of II ia
vaueless. Some planters tell US that part Of their
tobacco is rottng as it stands, and that much If
1t Is not worth the expense of houseing. the wet
weather had continued SO long that but few had
threshed their wheat crop. Consequently all that
was "shocked' in the fields has sproTted IN
short, we calculate that in this vicinity. not ono
third of the Tobacco, Corn or Wheat crons will
be saved "'

The Cumberland, (Nd.,) Telegraph gives
the particulars Of horrid affair which had
occurred in the Glades, six miles from that
place. A man named James Male was abus-
ing his children, when his wife interferred.
which SO reused his fury that he drove the
children from the house and pursued them
to the woods, where he fred a, them, but
without wounding them. He then returned
to the house and commenced re-oading his

QUALIFICATIONS OF JUSTICES OF THE
PEAcE.-Applications having been made to
the Executive Department, for the renewal
of the Commissioners of several Of the JUS
tees Of the Peace, in different counties Of
the State, upon the erroneous supposi'ion,
that their failure to qualify within the period
Of thirty days from The time of the notifca-
tion of their appointment, has brought them
within the operation Of the act passed a. the
las. session, chapter 172, section S, we ere
authorized to stale tina. no such re-commis-
sions are necessary. The act referred to
was passed on The 9th day of MAY, 1852;

stilu'ion, did not 60 into effect, until The Isl
day of June last, it no. having other wise
been therein expressly declared. The whole
act is intended 10 be prospective, as will
clearly appear, especially by reference to the
3rd section.
The Commissions for Justices of the
Peace had already gone OIL, thirty days be-
fore the law above referred to W as passed !;
and as the law did not take eff.c, until the
Is, of June, it is manifest tina. 1t cannot ap-
ply to the presen, appointment IS. 1t is pro-
per however shat the Justices should quail
fly without delay; as in case of their elect
to do SO within reasonable time. The Gov.
ernor will consider it as refusal to sc1,
and will appo'n. others in their places, IN
pursuance of the policy indicated bv The
law of the las. session. The law will sp-
ply to ell appointments since the frs, day
