The Master-at-arms of Her Majesty's ship Diamond wishes us, on behalf of the ship s company, to thank most gratefully the following kind donors of books, periodicals, and papers received Mrs. Weir (Epsom), and Mrs. Cashel, Captain H. F. Anderson, Dr. Campbell, Messrs. Brett, Bedford, Wilsons and Horton, Buddie (Hill and Mahony), Hill, Winter, Wildman, two ladies unnamed, the Auckland Club, Awhina Tug Co., Morrow and Etheridge. The contributions are much esteeemed. In Sydney, recently, says an exchange, a young man who had embezzled money belonging to his employers was brought up in court for sentence. The judge ordered him to be imprisoned till tho rising of the court at one o'clock, and to enter into recognisances of good behaviour for three years, giving as a reason for making the punishment so light that he considered the prisoner had been sufficiently punished by being held up to public opprobrium in the columns of one of the local daily papers. The effect of this ruling is that a leading article has now a recognised place among judicial punishments, and stands as an equivalent for a certain term of imprisonment.
