NEWS FROM THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. THE KAFFIR WAR. (IT ILICTIJC TKLIOILAPTII (PROM 001 OWN COZSIISIPONDIRT PORTSMOUTH, TRUISDAY MORXINO. The Amazon, 28, Captain Barker, arrived at fipithead this morning from the East Indies and the Cape of Good Hope. She has five days later news from the latter place, having left Simon's Bay on the 7th of March. The Mews had not arrived at that date. 'futilities had been partially suspended by the Kaffir*, who had sued for peace; but, as they would not agree to the terms of unreserved submission which Sir Harry Smith laid down, he was arranging a plan of operations on an effective scale, and would take the field on the sth of March, with the whole of th e levies, with whom, in person, he intended to cross the Kei. Colonels Mitchell and Eyre, in the Antidotes, had been cry successful. They had destroyed the whole of the crops,teken large quantities of eattle,and killed twenty of the enemy, with a loss to the British of three killed and wounded. The Cape Town Mail says : From a private source we learn that Colonel Mitchell's parts on p.itrul in the Amatola bed been successful in die. p r omo or destroying a codsiderable number of llottontwle, who are described as having been encamped in a retired lwenty.six of these men were killed by the party under Colonel Mitchell, and the rest fled and eon ceulel themselves in the bush. This place was presumed to be the bead-quarters of the rebel Nithaalder. Colonel Eyre was in pursuit of some considerable droves of tattle. The friend:y chiefs continued to deliver up small lute of the enemy's cattle. A report was current in Cape Town that Itiebeek, where there is a post with about forty mcu, had been attacked by a huge body of Kaffirs, and that the own had taken refuge in the church. A desperate engagement had taken place on the north-eastern frontier, between a patrol under Com mandant Giltillan and a arge body of Tambookice, in which the latter lost 100 men and 1,000 head of cattle; the burghers had five killed and three wounded. Mai smo retained his hold of Waterkloof, with, besides, his own clan, 2,300 allies. Their expulsion appeared almost hopeless. Colonel Cole and the 12th Lamas had tkittroyad all the enemy's crops in the Kabonea. General Cathcart had not arrived at the Cape. The Amazon has brought home the survivors of the Dirkenhead's crew. Not a single other survivor bad been heard of than thole already reported. The Dutch barque Juno, Captain Chevalier, hoes Batavia to Dordrecht, was wrecked March 2, on the fatal Cape Laguelhas, and two ladles and three child ren, passengers, were drowned. IMPORTANT ALTERATION IN THE MAIL SERVICE. It is in contemplation to make the foreign steam pack,ta now sailing from the port of Southampton touch at Plymouth to lead and cash -irk mails and passengers, there by st.int at least sixteen hours io the delivery of letters in 1...0d.in and Liverpool, time in each matters being of the at most iinpurtaaas to the commercial community as well a to government.

II Mr. Mame is uswell in the beat, and Cap tain Guam venoms to a tent to make room, March 13. This tent, nomad a hermitage by Captain Gar dim, is burned down. It appears two casks of biscuits and one of pork had been buried at Picton Island, to dis member the boats, and nourishing food being wanted, as Mr. Williams and J. Madam's have got the 'Curry, they resolve to go to ricton Island for it, which they reach on the 23rd of Much, intending to remain there till the ex pected vessel arrives from England with stores. Having got these provisions on board, and finding the natives *ill troubbisome, they print the notices on the rocks mentioned above, buried some bottles, and returned to Spaniard Har bour on the 29th of March. In the beginning of April another of the party (J. Bryant) gets the scurvy, and the disease gaining on the others, they become enfeebled in consequence. April 23. They have provisions enough to last for two months, but some are very low ; and a fox pilfering from them they kid him by putting apiece of pork opposite the muzzle of a gun attached by a string to the trigger, and as they can only issue pork three times a week, they dine off this fox and salt the remainder. Altogether they ap pear to have been very frugal with their supplies. I hind a notice of five large fish caught, and an account kept of the number of ducks shot ; as their powder having been left on board the ship, and a flask and a half being all they have, they keep it for emergencies. May 13, is a note of the biscuit being short : and alto gether, as they have not supplies for more than three weeks, all but the sick go on short allowance. May 19. The preserved meat is out, and Mr. Williams appears to be failing. May 22. Set apart for special prayer on behalf of the sick, for supplies of toad, and the arrival of the expected vessel. Frequent mention is made of the tide washing into the cavern, carrying away their stores, and endanguing their sleeping boat, which they endeavour to counteract by build ing breakwaters of stones, but in the night the surf washes away their work of the day; on one occasion I fi nd Captain Gardiner and Mr. Maidzsest have to escape from the cavern to save their lives, and taking refuge on a rock sashed by the surf, they kneel down in prayer. June 11. J. Irwin, another of the party, takesthesseurvy, and misfortune seems hovering around them ; their fishing net is swept away, and J. Badeeek dies on Nth June, and is buried on a bank under the trees at Cook's River; after performing the last oflioes, they retire to their boat for prayers. July 4. Having been seven weeks on sheet allowance, and latterly even this having been curtailed, the party ere utterly helpless. Everything found in the shape of food is cooked and eaten ; a penguin, a shag, a half-devoured fish washed up on the shore, and even the salted fox washed out of the carer's, is thrown up again on the beach, and used fur food. Captain Gardiner writes "We have sow remaining half a duck, about Ilb. of salt lark, the saw quantity of damaged tea, a very little rice (a pint), swe alms of chocolate, tour pints of peu, to which I may add ail mice. The mention of this last item in our list of pmeisiswe may startle some of our friends should it ever wank their ears ; but, circumstanced as we are, we partake aft= with • relish, and bate already eaten several of *sent they are very tender, and taste like rabbit." July 12. They are reduced to living on mussels, and feel the want of feud, end sometimes the craving of hunger is distressing to them. Captain Gardiner writes—" After living en mussels the a fortnight, I was compelled to give them up, and my bed is now mussel broth and the soft part of limgefe?' July>E. Ca Gardiner writes of the party in the ether Immet—" They are all extremely weak sad helpless. Zees their gmden seeds, used for broth, are now all eat." Amgen 14. Captain Gardiner takes to his bad, bat • reek weedis discovered, which they boil dews to a jelly, and lad awarhbment from. Ilmiust23. John Erwin dies. August 26. J.

Mr. Maidment has never recruited from that' , ' day of bodily and mental exertion. The remaining remarks I transcribe literally, and they must speak for themselves. Sept. 3. Wishing. if possible, to "spare him (Mr. Muid • aunt) the trouble of attending on me, and for the 'mutual comfort of all, I purposed, if practicable, to go to the river, and take up my quarters in the boat ; this was attempted on Saturday last. Feeling that without clincher I could ' not possibly effect it, Mr. Maidmeat most kindly cat me a pair (two forked sticks), but it was with no slight exertion and fatigue In his weak state. We set out together ' but soon found that I had no strength to proceed, and was obliged to return before reaching the brook over our own beach. Mr. Maidment was so exhausted yesterday that he did not rise from his bed until noon, and hove not seen him since, consequently I tasted nothing 'cater , day. I cannot learn the place where I um, and know not whether he is in the body or enjoying the presence ofl the gracious God whom he hoe served so faithfully. I am writing this at ten o'clock in the forenoon. Blued be my Heavenly Father for the many mercies I esjoy, a comfortable no pain, or even cravings of hunger, though excessively weak--scarcely able to turn in my bed, at least it is very great exertion ; but I am, by his abounding grace, kept in perfect peace, refreshed with a sense of my Saviour's love, and an assurance thin all is wisely and mercifully . appointed ; and pray that I may receive the full blessing which it is doubtless destined to bestow. My care is all cast upon God, and I am only waiting His time and His good pleasure to dispose of me as He shall see St. Whether I livo or die, msy it be in Him. I commend my body and my soul to Ilia are and keeping, and earnestly pray that He will take my dear wife and children under shadow of H is wings —comfort, guard, strengthen, and stud& them wholly, that w and eethe, in a WOW _caw(weeld praise His goodness vita M us with as be blood, and as beandelkent the bombs, to bagger ea us Of Andra, and maks us inheritors of Kb heavenly Rom Tlmday, fort. 4.

Yesterday the election of a member to serve in the room of 1112.Francia Mulford, who has accepted the Chilttrn Handrecb, under cireuntstanoes which need not be dwelt upon, took place at Worcester. When the writ was issued last week, two candidates were in the field, via., Mr. W. Lulea, of Abborton Hall, on liberal and reform principles, and Mr. M'Oarel, of London, as a supporter of the Derby administration. Mr. M'Oarel, however, retired on Friday, - . . . . . finding that Mr. Leiden had already secured a majority of promises, and the field was eonsequently left open to Mr. Laslett, who was yesterday duly returned. BERWICK-ON-TWEED.—Much dissatisfaction pre vails amongst the liberal party in this town at the ennounce ment of a Mr. John Stapleton, a member of a Roman ca tholic family in Yorkshire, as a candidate, without invita tion from the party or the town to which he has appealed. The consequence io that two tones have started. Mr. Forster lest week visited the town, again received the animater support of the liberal party, and mule a cans.... that leaves no doubt of his return. Mr. Renton, the pre sent conservative member, will again stand. Yastitotrrit.—The two parties in this borough have now fairly entered upon the contest. During the past week, a number of private meetings have been held by the con servative party, at which Mr. ltumbold and Sir E. K. Limon were present. The liberal candidates have held several public meetings, but owing to the unavoidable ab genes of W. T. M'Cullagb, Esq., M.P., upon parliamentary committees, a canvass was not begun until Saturday, at the finish of wheh the candidates thanked the electors for the numerous proomises of support, "in many instance, unsolicited, and in all cases hear tily and cheerfully accorded to them," and they conclude by saying that "the feeling evinced on their can ram assures them of the fact (which, indeed, they did not doubt from the fi rst momeat of their coming) that there exists in the minds of the electors generally a universal de sire to assert the right of freedom of election, and • wide spread determination to resist a coalition, which, if success- Int, would sacrifice their independence, and could but re sult in the political annihilation of their ancient borough." Admiral Sir Charles Napier and Mr. M'Cullsgh are evidently the most popular candidates we have had here for many years, and they are daily increasing in the good opinion of the public —Bury Oat. PRESERVATION OF TIIE CRYSTAL PALACE. Yesterday a public meeting took place at the Town-hall, Southwark, for the purpose of testing the opi nions and feelings of the inhabitants of the borough upon the subject of retaining the Crystal Palace as • place of resort for amusement, recreation, and improvement, and to petition parliament for that object. Hr. W. PIitTCHARD, the High Bailiff, occupied the chair, sod in opening the proceedings, observed that they were assembled to-day for an object of considerable public importance. It had long been a reproach to this country, that however great we might be in commerce and manufactures, we had not paid that attention to the more refined arts of lile which ought to have been bestowed upon them. In this respect they had certainly been exceeded by their continental neigh bours, but pest changes had taken place in the public mind within the last few years, and many of those build ings—such as the British Museum, the National Gal lery, and other institutions to which the people we w re forniterly c ree. Aleend the n ow t e o r tu f iy t t d a o dmhs w cww io d n, wo w t ea n vi i siter n n ntil a recent period except at an expense which the great majority of persons were unable to pay. A de aire, however, had lately sprung up to give • more elevated turn to the minds of the people, and during the last year a palace was constructed in Hyde Park whose object was to display the arts and manufactures of ell quarters of the world. The success of the experiment was beyond a doubt ; but more luting results might be expected from the oppor tnnitim which would be afforded for the refinement and improvement of tha people and the prom otion of the beet interests of the country. The results chaired could not be obtained by a mere evanescent effort; and as they had be gun well it was essential that the building should be conti nued and be made to amuse a permanent character is order that the objects which they had successfully commenced might be effectually carried out. The objections which had been urged against the retention of the building were untenable, and foreign nations were absolutely aston ished at the contemplation of such an act of Vandalism as would destroy a building which hail excited the admiration and envy of the world. (Cheers.) _ Mr. N , ICKERS proposed the first resolution : "Thatthe Crystal Palace should be preserved on its present site, on account of its being so admirably fitted for educational pur poses, and for affording the means of rational recreation to all classes." He contended if the government should dare to pull down so magnificent a structure, it would deserve the contempt and ridicule of mankind. The public had subscribed freely for the erection of the building, and, if it was to be destroyed, their money ought to be returned to them ; but he, for one, would rather subscribe double the amount that he had given, than that such a result should take place. If the government should adopt the step which they were now protesting against, the inhabitants of the borough would hold another meet ing to petition the Queen to dismiss such a government, and they would maids in a body to present the petition. (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. WALKER seconded the resolution, which was sup ported by Mr. HOWARD. The Outman then read letters which be had received from the sumbsu for the borough, Sir Wm. Molesworth and Mr. Aliens Hamphery, in answer to a request that they would attend the meeting. Sir W. Moleewortb's communiontku was to this effect :—" I must say that I am not in favour of the pr seration of the Crystal Palace—. Fint, his... I ooaslder that public faith was, to a certain sena; pledged net to Mop it up, and not to spend public swam wee k. , bemuse a large sum of public = b wesid be le purchase it, and also a con tent be repired to defray its annual en rols Hit were thrown spina to the public without an ISIVISIO hei NA oven If It were sot thrown open without as estrsses *On was would be essined to a very limited maw of Thirdly, it wouldibe far better for the so-Ad tM sole) n of the inhabitants of the metropolis to 'spudtin sona of messy which the Crystal Palace would met la hanky moodier park, which the Chancellor of the lizeberpeebestihmead to do in consequence of the expense. In the Crystal Palace has admirably answered the eijei he mil* it wee built, and I entertain a firm con viatica that if it be preserved it will prove a miserable fail ure, unaMie • ISMISIbRibill sum of public money be annually expended ups it, and I doubt whether it is proper to tax the Mims **what et most will only be beneficial to a smell whin of the inbsbiteMM of London." Mr. Alderman Huspesey said, "Do you sot think it would be bad faith in the government to allow the building to remain, and also a grant expense to the public to keep it ? Under these eiremistasen. I fear I must vets oohed its ranaislog in Hyde-park." Cur ios the reeding of those Wen the meeting testified their tion by peens sod hisses ; and Mr. Thw•itss, nesakiag to the ressistform stated that he was fully con that if the ameba he Southwark should give an adverse vote ongsseing the preservation of the Crystal Palau, it would bob Om& punishes as the repre seatatives ethos Immesh. (Hese, beer.) Mr. Oliviers, ON of the sonmilleie kr the teslontios et the Crystal Pa lau, stated that be myna to Mr. Aldsomm liumphery to allow his name to be pieced upon that sommittee, and he at once gave hie mesa& (" Hear, bear," and hisses.) Mr. Oliveira outsold into sem statistic* to prove the groat advantages MO night be halved from the preservation of the building, end he salenkted that they could raise 78,0001. a year by a makeate shags for entrance, and ad mitting the pub& two dap a week free of aspens'. it had been stated UM*, austrestces had a personal interest in tin retention alike beilemt. Now he could assure the smelting that it would be more to the advantage of those gentleman to dimes* of the building at once, but they felt the vast importune a preeerving so magnificent and useful a work of art. Mr. Brewton sad Dr. Clostixo, none-residents of the borough, supported the resolution, which was carried unani mously. A resolution was then proposed, to the effect "that a petition to both houses of parliament be adopted in favour of the retention of the Crystal Palace, and that the mem bers for Southwark be requested to present the petition to the House of CAWIRICES, and Lord Shaftesbury to the house stLinds." Upon this nestetion Mr. MARTIN observed that be wite grostly bribes& le think. that when Sir William Moles. worth was behests& that the continuance of the palace would am involve the public in any expense, he would alter hie mind upon the subject. (Hear, hear.) The modest was carried unanimously, and was followed by a resolaties—. That the two members for the borough having expense* opinions upon the subject of retaining the Crystal Palaes at direct variance with the feelings of the meeting, it was resolved that such an expression of opinion without any coaference with their constituents was deserv ing ofthe strongast disapprobation." After a vote of thanks to the chairman the proceedings terminated. LAMBETll.—Yesterday evening a public meeting of the inhsbitants of the borough of Lambeth eras held at the Horns Tavern, Kennington-common, fur the purpose of taking into consideration the measures necessary to be adopted for the preservation of this structure. The chair was taken by the Ron. C. Tennyson D'Eyncourt, who said that the course proposed to be taken with refer ence to the preservatiostof that bstntifid building met with his entire concurrent,. It should be retained for the par pose of exhibiting works of art, science, and manufactures. An act of parliament must be passed, and be believed the permission of the crown to retain it would not be withheld. He believed the aristocracy wore in the main favourable and would consent to its preservation. The first resolution. deprecating the destruction of the building, was moved by H. Taylor, Esq., seconded by F. Balaton, Esq., and sup ported by H. 7. Slack, Esq. The second resolution, ex pressing the opinion of the meeting, that the building could be made seltsupporting, was moved by Thos. Evans, F.sq., and seconded by Henry Renee, Esq. Both resolutions were curried unanimously. The meeting having been ad dressed by Messrs. Macgregor, M.P., and B.Oliveira, sepa rated after the usual vote of thanks to tile chairman. THE ENGINEERS' DISPUTE. The following address of the Executive Committee of the Amalgamated Society eads the struggle of fifteen weeks' duratiun against the combination of the employers: " From the Executive Council of the Amalgamated Society to their Members and the Trades in general. " Fellow toembers,—Ada meeting of the General Execu tive Council, which was attended by five delegates from Manchester, Oldham, Belton, and Rochdale, held on the 2'2nd of April, 11552, for the purpose of deliberating upon the present dispute between the operative engineers and their employers, the following iesolulions were adopted: • 1. That in consequence of the present porition of our affairs in relation to the dispute this meeting is of opinion that those of our members who may he compcllca to sign the ''eleelaration' should not be excluded. " 2. That the General Executive Council recommend the necessity of making a levy of half a day's wages on all the members in work, for the purpose of supporting those out of employment in cineequence of the present dispute. " ' 3.'1 hat any member neglecting to pay the levy of half a day's pay, the same shall be placed to his arrears of contributions, subject to the approval of the next delegate meeting. " 4. That the non-sneitty men receive their lair biome of support the same as formerly. 6. That, in the opinion of this meeting, hostile resist ance of labour against capital is not calculated to enhance the condition of the labourer ; we, theiefore, advise that all our future operations should be directed in promoting the system of self employment in associative woreehops ' as the best means of effectually regulating the conditions of labour, and that this resolution be submitted to our mat delegate meeting.' " The executive council, in publishing the foregoing re solutions, think it necessary to accompany them with a few words of comment and observation. They frankly and un hesitatingly make the avowal that, in the contest between capital and labour, the latter has been defeated. Whatever hopes were entertained that the worker might successfully assert hi. rights by an opot and avowed resistance to a t t r i r e a i n n, l , o n f se the po ns w os er t (, el i ! , ft w po c t p i i c th ki a n n d l they y d, h t a r v m e ,i f n it , d t e i d on h: f fo i re t. possessors to be absolute and unconditional masters. How ever we might have relied upon the troth of our cause, and the justice of the effort to elevate the industrial position of the artisan—to have conciliated and con vinced our adversaries, and to secure us extended support, we have found, by bitter and dear-bought experience that mere right—right unsupported by strength—truth discarded from power, may be beaten down and trampled upon by rich strong-handed wrong. Nothing that we could do hu been left undone. No effort that it was in our ponce to make has been spared. We have invited diuusisiun and criticism—we have challenged controversy—we have fear lessly laid bare before the world our motives and our pur poses—we have invited the verdict of public opinion —we have offered to submit to arbitration—we have endeavoured to arouse the trades of England, tho'c who are as much in terested in the result of our struggle as ourselves. to unite action and at lest, we have offered concessions as great as could honourably be made, and withdrawn our circular of the 24th of December, MI, but all without avail. Help we have had, but not to a sufficient extent to enable us to continue the battle ; sympathy has been awarded te us, but our opponents, great in the world of wealth, were enabled to command the m at influential portion of the press ; hope that we should triumph has made thousands of hearts beat high; but they belonged to those whore: voices were not heard in the world—the workers of the country ; and they were comparatively powerless. Through all the history of the strife we have nothing to reproach ourselves with, nothing to regret but the want of success. "In the list extremity, when we had given up all that could be conceded, the Employers' Association mill main taining their determination to suffer no man to work unless he would admit his own slavery and degradation by signing their infamous declaration, it became neces sary to take some steps to avert the crisis. We must submit to inevitable necessity. The poor man, without funds to fall back upon, is dependent upon labour for life. In the midst of all the wealth he has created for others his roily right is toil , when he can get leave, (or a bare subsistence—he:is an infant in the grasp of a giant, to whom he must perforce submit. We cannot ask any man to become a pauper or starve. We cannot say to the artisan, let your wives grow haggard arid your children pale and thin, and ragged, and your hearths cold, till misery past endurance forces you into the poor-house, where social affictiuus are violated by the law which attaches degradation to relief. We cannot command abso lute self-sacrifice. Between two evils we are compelled to choose the leapt. The proposals contained in the above resolutions if they are adopted, as we doubt not they will be, will place those members who continue iu theeociety, after having signed the declaration, in a position not to violate a moral truth,however reluctant they may feel to sub mit to such an net of tyranny ; and, in the prospect of this change, we say, that we will not exclude any member who now signs the employers" declaration' to obtain bread for I himself and his family. We are aware that honest men may feel an instinctive abhorrence of doing what may subject them to the slightest imputation of acting unconscientionsly. But we think that this honourable scruple need not prevent their continuing in the society if this be done. We think that any one may justly consider his present position to be one of moral com pulsion, which his not the stringent obligation attending a freely made agreement. We hold ourselves and every man who unwillingly puts his hand to that detestable document, which is forced upon U 9, to be as much destitute of that power of choice which should precede a contract, as if a I pistol were at his head, and he had to choose between death and degradation. " Our future efforts must be constantly directed to pre vent the possibility of such a catastrophe again occurring. How shall we set about the work of preparation for • coming time ? There is but one way—we must co-operate for pro duction. The events of the last few months have directed the attention of working men to co-operation, and inclined them to it more decidedly than years of prosperous industry could have done. Perhaps a grestergood is to come out of present evil than mould have been in any other way brought about. We have learned that it is not sufficient to accu mulate funds, that it is necessary also to use them repro ductively, and if this lesson does not fail in its effects, a few years will see the land studded with workshops belong ing to the workers—workshops where the profits shall cheer and not oppress labour, where tyranny cannot post an abo minable declaration on the gates, where the opportunity of working is secured without the sacrifice of all that makes work dignified and honourable. Then, indeed, the artisan may successfully assert his claims to be treated as a man with thoughts and feelings, instead of a machine. And if the employers, seeking to wrong him, close the gates of the fasiberlim he will not then stand in forced idleness, consum ing the accumulations of past years, but with double energy he will tarn to the factory and there do the work of the wuntry, without the unneeded help of others. That is a conrammation devoutly to be wished," and if we set about the task with only the same earnestness', good faith, and patience as have been brought to bear upon our past move ment it will be accomplised. "So much for the put and the future.
