An arrival from the Cape of Good Hope supplies us with files of the South African Adrertiser to the 19th August inclusive. The accounts from the colony are of a discouraging kind. The dispatches from head-quarters to the Bth August announces no event of particular importance. The British forces, esti mated at 3,000 infantry, and 2,000 cavalry, were understood to be moving in three columns on the dis trict of rugged country lying at the mouth of the Buffalo river, where it was believed that the Gaika Kaffirs would be found in force, and that a general eng - lement would take place. According to other accounts received, the Governor was forming an entrenched camp at Pierie, where he would remain with the infantry, sending the cavalry to the rear to recruit their cattle ; in which case further of fensive operations would necessarily be postponed to the beginning of October. The horses were said to be without corn, and the ration of provisions served to the troops was 1 lb. meat and lb. biscuit daily. After considerable skirmishing in the Amatola mountains, the divisions of Sir Andreas Stockenstrom and Colonel Hare bad succeeded in forcing the Kaffirs to retire upon the Kieskamma, with a loss of about 130 killed, and a number of guns and horses, which were captured. This service was performed with a loss on the side of the British of some ten or twelve coloured persons killed, and a few wounded. Both Colonel Somerset and Capt. Wright, Aide-de-camps, had been struck by spent balls, but, fortunately, sus tained no injury. Such are the accounts from the army in Knffirland ; but while the Commander-in-Chief was moving upon the Buffalo, the Kaffirs had succeeded. by a retrograde movement, in placing themselves between the British forces and the frontier, so as effectually to cut off sup plies forwarded from the colony. They had abso lutely penetrated into the colony itself, and sueeee:ed in carrying away large herds of cattle and sheep; not always, however, without a struggle, in which both parties suffered severely in killed and wounded. In one of these affairs a small detachment of the Stellenbosch levy were hemmed in a defile, and five of the party mortally wounded. Events of this sort were of almost daily occurrence ; so that what between the harassing service upon which the settlers were engaged, the general distress prevailing, and the continued losses to which they were subjected, the prospects of the colony were of a very gloomy character. The death of Lieut. Lewis, of the 27th Regt, at Fort Cox, is an nounced. Sir C. Ricket , Bart., of her Majesty's ship Helena had recovered. We subjoin extracts : (From the Frontier Times, of August 11.) MONDlY.—Yesterday during the morning service the mournful tidings were received front Niemand's kraal that five of the Stellenbosch Burghers had fallen on that morning in an encounter with the enemy in the neighbourhood of the favourite Kaffir haunt, " Hell Poort." The particulars of this tragical event are given below. This is the heaviest casualty that has been sustained at one time on our side in the colony since the war commenced. Immediately upon the receipt of this intelligence, Major O'Reilly dispatched a Alachment of the C. M. It. under Ensigns Harvey and Saha, to the spot, and subsequently Captain Samson, of the Libe rated African Corps, and Lieutenant Skead, of the Malay Corps, with a party of their people, volunteered to go out and render any mistimce in their power. " On Sunday morning last, 9th Aug., Lieut. Briers, who was in command at Niemand's kraal during the absence of Capt Neethling, to the Zuurberg, sent nut a foot patrol of 20 coloured persons, who, it 'imam fell in with the spoor of some Kaffir' which they followed through De Bruin's peers, and came up with five Kaffirs near the Fish River, driving fifteen head of cattle and one horse. They shat one Kaffir, wounded another, and re-took the cattle and horse. They also took the gun of the Kaffir that was killed, who had a large powder-horn more than half-filled with powder, and sixteen bullets. " Shortly after the patrol had left, Lieut. Briers went out with a mounted patrol of fifteen men in the direction of Hell Poort, where they shortly fell in with the spoor of the Reifies and cattle. This they followed into a very bushy klonf, with a rugged stoney ridge in the centre, upon which they kept, the ground being more open, when they saw some cattle in the ravines below. At the same moment nearly, • volley was fired upon them from the bush, and one man, Mr. D. Rossouw, of Wagonmaker's Valley, shot through the stomach, the ball passing through his pouch, and penetrating his back. He fell from his horse, and hie comrades, who now found themunius mineunded by at heat MO Karin, drew his jacket ever hishead, and left him either dead or dying. The Kollin had by this time quite surrounded the little parq, who had to fight every inch of their way back out or the bush, in doing which they lost four more of their somber, via., Mr. P. F. de Villiers, late of Langeberg ; his brother, Mr. Her menus P. de Villiers., lately reaiding with Mr. Esterhuisen, in Wasonmaker's Valley ; Mr. J. S. Batmen, of Kosberg ; and Mr. P. Haashamer, of Zwartland. Mr. P. F. de Villiers was shot through the palm of his left hand, after which, it is said, he killed three of the enemy, and whilst he was getting upon his horse he wu shot through the hack ; his brother Hermann, declared he would not stir from the side of Lis brother, they having promised each other, he said, to die together, and he would not lea v e him. Force, it is said, was attempted,; but of 'maven ; he remained behind. J. S. Beason was shot through the back of the neck as he was getting on his horse, and Haushamer's horse was shot under him. He unfortunately concealed himeeff in a bush, which was the last time he was observed by the party. Many daring deeds are reported to have bean done by this brare little band of burghers, and we have heard Mr. Bredenkamp, the adjutant, spoken of, amongst others, as having shown great determination and potence of mind. He saw two Kaffir' mounted oa the horses of the Messrs. Villiers, and, watching his opportunity, he fired when they were abreast of each other, and dropped them both ; it is also said that whilst he was loading his gun, after having shot a Kaffir, he heard a rustling below him, and, on looking down, perceived a Kaffir on the low ground a few feet under him, in the set of firing; Bredenkamp immediately reversed his gun, which nearly toothed the Kaffir's head, and blew out his brains. Another nun, named Reid, late a private in the 27th regiment, who is trumpeter to this force, was close to a Kaffir, be snapped his gun at him, which mimed fire, and he instantly closed with the Kaffir, striking him with the butt-end of his gun, which broke the stock; Lieut. Briers at the same instant shot the Kaffir with 'teener' " in the head. Many Kaffir, must have been killed. The renewing persons had narrow tyrants :—Mesers. H. L. Beeman and A. I'. Cilliers had bells through their hats, just grazing th eir heads. The remaining ten men eventually got oat WE the bush, literally fighting their Ivey through the Kaffir*, leaving their dead behind. Th-y went to the camp for a reinforce ment, and soon returned with 65 burghers and 27 flagon, with whom they proceeded to the spot of the former conflict, where they found the Kaffirs still strongly posted, but the bodies of "their comrades were removed. A fierce conflict again ensued, in which many Ksflirs were shot; 10, it is said, were seen lying dead in one place, and 69 head of cattle. and 10 horses recaptured. Amongst these eattles were 10 head belonging to Messrs. Fichat and Lowers, which must have been taken the previous evening by the very Refire, from whom the waggons belonging to those gentlemen were re-captured by Messrs. Meurant and Rout. The same evening Captain Neethling returned from the Zuisrberg, sod instartly sent oil au exp-ess to Commandant Onkruydt, who had that morning just returned to Riebeek. The gallant and worthy commandant immediately upon receipt of this dispatch (one o'clock Monday morning) got his men saddled up, and proceeded to Niemand's kraal, where he arrived at daylight. A large party went into the bush, but only saw five Kaffir+, upon whom they fired. They, however, suc ceeded in finding all the bodies of the unfortunate men who had fillen. Haushamer appears to have been taken alive ; he had 22 assegais stabs in his back ; Hermanus Villiers' leg was broken, and he had received seven' as-egui wounds ; the bodies were undressed, and one man had a finger cut off. apparently to get a ring ; another man, we think Piet Villiers, had his right arm dreadfully burnt, a fire having evidently been made under his arm." • • • Informed that on Suudsy evening just before sunset, a waggon belonging to Mr. Richard Simpson, on its way from Fish River (Abraham Esnag's), to town, with furniture, which had been hid away before that lager was burnt, was attacked by Kaffirs about three-quarters of a mile on this side Do Bruin's pied. It is must likely these were the Kaffirs who had just been driven out of Hell Poort, aid were on their way through De Bruin's at the time. The driver was knocked down at the first volley, and Mr. R. Simpson and another person escaped into the bush, seeing the driver, as they imagined killed. The leader had his sent shat tered by a ball just ahoye the elbow-joint, and was nixed by the Kaffir who had shot him, when the driver recovering himself, ran to his assistance and felled the Kaffir with the butt-end of his musket. One of the petty then seized the , leader and dragged him away into the hush. These three were closely followed by:KatfirsZbutraanaged to secrete them- I selves in the bush, where they remained all night, being obliged to cut the throat of their dog, to prevent his bark. kg, as they could hear the Kaffir* all round them during the greater part of the night. Just before dawn they crept along towards Nieinaud's Kraal, and on emerging from the bush into the waggon road, they sew the Kaffirs on the ridge on the look out for them. On reaching Onkruydt's ramp, they were joined by Mr. Richard Simpson and his companion, who had also been all night concealed in the hush. The Kaffirs were seen to drive oft the waggon, which they had turned round, back again towards De Bruin's. The wounded man et rived in town last night in the same waggon with the bodies of the Stellenbosch Burghers. Mr. , Simpson was also wounded in the hand and lee with buck , shot. The party attacked consisted only of four Europeans, Richard Simpson, John Kemp, Lewis Boshof, and Benja min King, and two Hottentots. Four Kaffirs were seen to drop. T:F.ROkT.—Received information frens Fort Beaufort, that 1,400 sheep. belonging to Mr. B. Trollop, were taken by Kaffirs from Fort Beaufort, also 30 or 40 cattle, the pro perty of the contractor, with a number of others belonging to different people. A party was sent out the same day, and recovered 900 sheep, and a Fingo received a severe assettani wound in the back. On Sunday about 40 head of cattle and 400 sheep, were on their way from the Tarka to the contractor at Fort Beaufort. in charge of six Hottentots. These men were waylaid by Kaffirs, at • drift near Hermann's Place, Blinkwater, who tired a volley amongst them, but without effect. The Kaffir' afterwards surrounded them, and, rushing on them with theireasseganis, killed four and wcunded two. One of the wounded men was pursued for some distance, but fired on his pursuer and killed him. Another party was sent out in pursuit of the marauders on Sunday. Fort Beaufort is represented at being in a defence less state. A timid of meal lately fetched M. 4s. 6.1. ou the market.... At a late hour last night, the bodies of the five Stellenbosch Burghers who were killed on Sunday, were brought into town by Lieut. Skead. The expense of their funeral will he defrayed by the public. Their remains were borne this afternoon to their lad rest ing place, the Episcopal Churchyard, and were followed by their respected Commandant, Mr. Onkruydt, and their com rades, and a very numerous throng of the townsmen, anxious to pay all possible honour to the slain. The funeral procen. sion consisted of at least 600 persons. _ _ TUESDAY, 6 p.m.—We hire intelligence from bead quar ter' to the 7th instant. The General was encamped on the Buffalo mountains. On the .sth, Col. Somerset left head quarters to co-operate with Col. Hare, in a movement on the Kaffirs in the Amatola. Very little seems to have been done by the troops. Col. Somerset was struck by a spent ball in the leg, but only slightly hurt. Capt. Wright, of the Plot, is said to have been beset by Kaffirs, and also to have received a slight hurt. Col. Somerset was expected at Fort Peddie, all the troop horses were to be sent there, being quite unfit for service. The General, it is stated, was going into winter quarters in Kreili's country. We have no time to add fur ther particulars. A diary containing some interesting par ticulars is subjoined : Aro. 3.—Moved at 9 a.m. to.day to near Pierie missionary station, and the Governor went to Beresford. Saw about GO Kaffir men and about 200 women, trekkin; into the Buffalo Poort. Umbels's sister arrived in camp at sunset, praying I f or peace, on the part of Umhala. Governor would not listen to her, but hes desired Umhala to come in himself, he will not treat with any women. This woman states that the Fingoes residing among Kreili's tribe have revolted, attacked the Kaffirs, killed one of Booko's sons, and wounded two chiefs, besides killing a number of Kaffirs, and carried off a great quantity of cattle. They hare gone to Moshesh's country. She also states that the Amapondas ore lying on the Bashee. Solana. a chief of the (hikes, killed ; he was the most inveterate Kaffir towards the colony in Kaffirland. Kaffirs burning the grass in all directions, to try and prevent one cattle and horses getting any. Between 200 and 300 bodies of dead Kaffir, found at Block Drift, three huts, and two large holes filled with them besides. Heard Col. !laze firing all day in Keiskamma Hoek. Ave L'ST -I.—Men employed in raising a redoubt for the protection of the camp when we leave. Stokes, who was superintending it, seeing the Kaffirs setting tire to the grass, close to it, rode there, and was mibtalien by a sentry for a Kaffir ; the sentry fired, and struck him in the back with two loopers—slight wounds. We move to-morrow to the Buffalo Post, to combine with Sir A. Stockeastrom and Col. Hare. The force in the bush will be about 3,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry and burghers outside. It is said after this is done the cavalry are to return to the Fish River, to recruit their horses, and a strong infantry post established near here till the beginning of October, when operations will be resumed. Waggons obliged to return to Peddle. A large farce of Kaffir' hanging about Line Drift; express arrived to say so. Saw no Kaffir on the road. Captain Maclean reports that Seyolo is investing Line Drift and Keiskamma Moots to intercept convoys. Orders for march to-morrow out. 8 P.n.—All packed up ready fer the march, and looking towards a good brash, as the ginthrs are flocking towards the Buffalo Poort, driven out by Colonel Hare. (From the GraAans's Town Journal.) MONDIT, AVG. 10.—Information up to yesterday has also been received from Fort Beaufort, to the effect that the Kaffirs were sweeping the country around the town of what cattle and sheep had escaped their previous attacks. Many hundreds of sheep had been taken, and a goad many cattle, and considerable apprehensions were entertained of an ahso lute want of food. With all this it in stated that there is not a man available for the active defence of the frontir between Graham's Town and Beaufort, a distance of 46 miles; that, in fact, the whole of that line is left open to the ravages of the enemy. It is true that there are small pods at Leeuw Fontein, at Botha's, at the Konap, and at Fort Brown ; but these are utterly unable to fnmNb any effectual assistance in punning the active Kaffir. At Oliphant's Bean also there la a Burgher force of SO or 100 men, under Mr. M. Bowker, hut for want either of forage or pasturage, their horses have been long since useless; the men themselves a-e in want too of many necessaries—the only duty they are able to perform being to patrol on foot the country adjacent to their own station. --- No more forcible proof need be required of this absence of ordinary precaution, than the fact that the 450 head of slaughter cattle, belonging to the government co: gramme, which we reported last week had been taken by the Kaffirs on the way from Somerset, have been got serous the boundary, though taken at a distance of 60 miles Crow it, and though repeatedly seen as they were being driven amiss the country. The Sporting Club, whisk went off in pursuit of this rich booty, state that they followed on the spoor as far as Botha's Post on the Kat River, but with their small party, which had dwindled down to 20 men, they did not consider it pru dent to cross the boundary. This party speak in high terms of the kindness with which they were treated at the several military posts on their route, none of which were able, how ever, to afford them the smallest personal assistance. It ap pears, so audacious were the marauders, that these cattle pained on Saturday night on the eight above the Konap Post, at so short a distance from it, that the dust raised by their feet was distinctly seen by the sentry on duty at that station. A drove of upwards of 100 h•ssd of cattle had also been taken from a farmer in that immediate neighbourhood. Information was also received, that a per-on on riding into Graham'. town early this morning, was fired at just before reaching it, two shots passing so dome to his head as to came an effusion of blood from the nostrils. He is of opinion that the shots must have been fired at not more than eight or ten Paces distant, and that, had it not been for his horse stum bling at the moment, both would have taken effect. Letters nontaining distressing information have also been received front the N.B. boundary. The accounts before us is to the following purport: — Information has reached this post (Eiland's, Kat River Settlement), of the death of Jabes Aldum (a young man whose family are residents of Graham's-town), and several others, killed by the Temboulmes. SUNDAT, Aro. 9.—Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock, the Kaffirs cleared away nearly ell the cattle belonging to Port Beaufort. This morning, about twenty Dutch Burghers, mounted, who were accidentally here, and as many Fingoes, went in search of the cattle and men, but they returned in the afternoon unsuccessful._ _ _ MONDAY, AUG. 10, 9 o'CLock, a.re.—l have just heard that ensteeday the Kaffir* attacked en eerier( which was bringing down 630 sheep and drove of cattle from the Win terberc for the contractors here. The attack was made near the Blinkwater, and as I hear four of our men have been killed and two wounded. The person who betught in this information says, that when he left. a number of the Kat River Hottentots stationed at Blinkwater Post were en gaged with the enemy. That on hearing the firing they went out; and that while the surgeon was dressing the wounded men, the firing was resumed, and had continued during part of the night, but that the result was not known. No information of importance has reached Graham's Town from the scene of action in the Amatola. There are various versions of the accounts given in our last, and which have given rise to a good many rumours, many of which are the mere offspring of the imagination. The only fact tee need add to the account before the public is, that two of the men of the 27th Risriment have been severely wounded in a skirmish, and narrowly escaped falling into the hands of the KaMrs. The latter were ultimately repulsed by detachments of the 91st and 27th Regiments, with the loss, it is said, of many of the enemy. TUESDAY Arrzaieoow, 4 o'Cuoce. Communications have just tome in, rid Mouth of the Fish River, front the troops in Kaffirland, up to the Bth inst., at which date his Excellency the Governor was at Pierie, an admirable posi- Von, either for moving upon the Amato's, or upon the upper spruits of the Buffalo. There had been a good deal of skir mishing with the Keffirs, but no general engagement, the Kaffirs having retired from the Amatola upon the Kies kamma. The results do not appear to have been very im portant. The accounts mention 70 of the enemy as killed by Cul. Hare's division, and d 7 by Sir A. Stockenstrom's, while the loss on our aide is said not to amount to more than 10 or 12 killed, chiefly coloured persons, and a few wounded. The Governor was forming an entrenched camp at Pierie, and there was talk of sending the cavalry horses to the rear to recruit, and to defer any further offeneve oper►tions till October next. One letter states that Colonel Somerset was to fall bock with the horses into the ceded territory im mediately, and thnt his arrival might be expected at Fort Peddie. It is said both Colonel Somerset and Captain Wright, aides-de-camp to the Lieutenant-Governor, had been struck with spent balls, but not injured. A good many guns had been taken of the Kaffirs, and a number of horses. Nothing, however, is said of cattle, I though we have an account of four Hottentots going out to capture some gnats, when three out of the four were killed and brutally mutilated by the enemy. The horses were without corn, and the ration of provisions to the troops was half a pound of biscuit, and one pound and a half of meat per day. ,e7'7 41 , - , _,....„...„, ./._,, 04-1 1 P Ail 4 a t b = m i l rig.. mi & erma, sad roam. ) ' o 7 l. 4ffa lla t i t buedia g No. 44.] LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. 21, 1846.

Consols for money, 94i to 5 ; for time, 95 to Exchequer Bilk 13s. to 16s. premium. These rates show scarcely a fraction of difference from those which have ruled for acme time past, and arc evidence, therefore, of the little badness comparatively doing. Both Mexican and Peninsular Securities are in decline. The former are now quoted 23 to i. Spanish Fives, 261 to ; the Threes, 3711 to I. The statement put forth by the ex-Envoy is considered by the members of the Stock Ex change to be anything but satisfactory. We have had a great deal of discussion 'in th.. , city and the stock market about the so long promised and forthcoming explanations, now published, of Senor Murphy, about his own official share in the conversion scheme. The documents are two, the first being the dispatch of the Minister of Finance from Mexico annulling the conversion, because in its negotiation the ex-envoy hail exceeded his powers. The second is the manifesto proper of the ex-functionary in justification of his conduct, making more than 1 I columns of small type. A cause must always labour under some suspicion at the outset, which requires such a large amount of verbiage to set it forth. Accordingly the document bat been received with little favour in any quarter, save with those more specially compromised in the business with Senor Murphy. It is read and understood only as an attempt to envelope a very simple matter in a mass of mys tification. What the bondholders wanted to know, and all that Senor Murphy had to explain was, the significant feet in dispute, and which lies at the root of the whole affair, viz., did Senor Murphy exceed his powers or not ? The ready way to settle the point at once and for ever, which would suggest itself to common minds, would be the publication of the powers and instructions themselves. But this is precisely what Senor Murphy has not done ; he leaves the bondholders just as wise in the matter as before. He must show off a lengthy feat of tortuous diplomacy, so as to fight cff the real question altogether. 'Nevertheless we find that he still persists in asserting that he proposed the conversion "in virtue of the full powers which were conferred upoa me in the instructions which I received from the Finance department, dated 7th March," whilst he quotes, in proof, in three lines afterwards, a portion of the decree of the sth of March, which absolutely limits his powers, in the execu tion of that decree, to (we quote his own version), action " on the basis of converting the deferrect bonds and debentures at 40 per cent." Not one word is hinted, or mentioned, about convertingthe aetire stock, which, however, Ser or Murphy proceeded at once to effect. Such, substantially, is all the explanation which Senor Murphy thinks proper to offer on the great point at issue. His special pleading in the case is a discreditable attempt to hoodwink the public judgment ENGLISH FUND'.4. := Tinltz n'CLocx.. Bank Stock, 2031 63 - Ditto for Aect., 93 3 per Ct.

The little Barley at mirket this morning realiaed fully as much money as on the previous market day. The value of Oats in Ireland being relatively higher thin in Mark-lone, this article is held with much firmness, and in some instances an advance upon Monday's quotations was obtained. Beans and Peas continue scarce, and commar.d high rates. BRITISH.

OCT. 20.-Since our last report, we have hada great deal of rain, which has prevented farmers getting on with sowing so much as they would others ise have done. We have had a fair demand for old Wheat during the week, at the prices lately paid. All sorts of spring Curn, but es pecially malting Barley, have been in good demand, and wo note that article fully 3s. per qr. dearer, with a short supply. Grinding Barley obtains the same advance. At this day's market we had only a small show of Wheat, but our millers were eriaVed to supply themselves at the rates of last week ; free foreign quite as dear. Spring Corn as last noted, with out much allowing. Linseed offerred more freely, prices unaltered. Rapeseed has been sold at 231. 1.55. Linseed Cakes easier to buy. Rape Clkes fetch our quotations.

Barley came more freely to hand than of late, and met a ready sale at an advance of some shillings-495. to 60s. made of some of extra tine quality. 465. to 475. Id. were the general prices to the farmers. So few Beans and Peas ag reared that prices cannot be quoted. LivEarool., Ocr. 20.-. Very firm were &Meru of Wheat.

This may perhaps be in some degree tested by the amount of the Canterbury collection, which we hear on pretty good authoritywill turn out something very like 44,071/.175. Id. There were several buyers at our fair on Saturday, but it seems of late years not to have been the fashion to sell here, otherwise there is no doubt sales might have been effected. A correspondent informs us that there is en inclination on the part of some growers, encouraged by the success of the late experiment at Staplehurat, to establish a hop fair there. lie says, "No time should be lost." The growers should meet and form a committee of management. Thy should be the acting men, and with energy sod determination much good might be accomplished."—Maidstone Journal. The estimated hop duty has fallen off materially dur ing the past week. A high duty backer gist's; the following estimate : Canterbury, 4.3,000/. ; Rochester, 60,0001.: Sussex, 63,0001.; Worcester, 30,000/. ; Farnham, 16,0001. ; Kingdom, 4,0001. Total, 224,0001.
