The upect of affain when the last despatches left the colony rendered it only too probable that the turbuleet and warlike tribr of Kallirlaad were on the eve of once more pushing their predatory and murderous inroads across the frontier and it is sot impossible that the defenders of the border may ere this have been engaged in repelling hostilities which, if not promptly and decisively sup pressed at the outset, may ultimately eventuate in another Kaffir war. The accounts which have reached us of the immediate origin and exciting cause of the present disturbed state of the tribes are so ex traordinary u almost to pass credibili:y. They are in fact only credible when we reflect that the Kaffir has in a more than ordinary degree the proneness of all semi•saysge races to a belief in the marvellous. His fai►h once gained, the whole man becomes a slave to its dominion, and acts under its influence with an absolute disdain of consequences, which no other stimulus is capable of producing. In most, it not in all, of the previous Kaffir wars Dome prophet or witch.doctor" has been, as an icstrument in the hands of the leading chiefs, the i■mediate stirrer up of strife. These impostors have been the Jefferson Bricks or " war editors" of a race without newspapers, and vigorously have they plied their calling of " making Queen VICTORIA shake in her shoes." The spirit of MAXIDINA and iliastaomet, the instigators of pest disturbances, appears on this oat. casion to have descended on the prophet UMELAILIZA, a clever barbarian, who is stated to have been at one time in the service of Archdnecn MIRRIXAN, of Graham's Town, and has probably learnt enough, by being thus brought into contact with Christian ideas and civilised practices, to have fitted him the better for the function of acting on the fears and hopes of hieing' instructed fellow-conntryinen. The doctrise preached by this prophet, and implicitly believed in by thousands of the Kaffir race, has at all events, as far as we are aware, the merit of originality. A Kafir millennium, according to UNIILAIAZA, is close at hand; all the iflnitrions warriors who have fought and perished in conflict with the white man are to rise from their graves at the sound of • great trumpet, and with them are to coots forth, from a vest cavern near the mouth of the river Bei, innu merable multitudes of slain cattle, which shall snake the tribessen rich with herds beyond the limits of their wildest imagination : at the woe moment • mighty tempest is to descend from the mountains and sweep before it from the face of the earth the intrusive strangers who have robbed the Bair of his broad pesters lands. All this is promised on one modifies ; and that oonditioa is, that the tribes shall give proof of their faith by slaying or selling all their existing cattle, scats, and poultry, emptying all their grain pits, and in fact leaving themselves without any ViSibla Wane of present sub mistimes. This proof, at the date of the last &swam, bad literally been given by thousands of the great tribes of the Tfilambies and Geleikas t the (hikes seder SAIODILLI had shown lie/ alacrity of belief, but no great confidence can be placed in the pertinence of their iaeredality, if it be true, as re ported, that their wary chief has stated to the British Commissioner that "If he disobeys UNIMAK, Li, it is a sin of ignorance, and he hopes GOD will not punish him too severely." If we ask, is astonishment, by what moans the " witch-doctor' has thee persuaded the tribes to part with their present means of sub einem' in exchange for hie promised paradise of restored affection, boundless moronice and boondlees wealth, the reply is ready. Have not thouseade of Baffin who have visited the prophet, declared solemnly " that they could hear distinctly the bel lowing of the cattle underground and the noise of their horns clangs' one against the other ? ' Such is the force of imagination, aided probably by some familiar trick of ventriloquism, over an ardent, ex citable, sod semi-neap vacs. Ica an age of Mor racreism and spirit-rapping, civilisation cannot afford to indslp in too lofty a contempt for the enthusiastic eagerness with whisk, on sash slender seldom *,l barbarians runs into the belief of what with the whale energy of their wild nature they passionately deans to be true. It is more important to ormaider Low far the practical results of their &hakes may not operate, almost as of neesmity, to bring about the calamity of a Kaffir invasion. la this point of view the thing looks serious. Their own g ri med let astilled—their meals pits empty—their cattle slain or sold, the Whs, in order to live, must obvioanly have recourse to the cattle and harvests of their neighboun. ELAZAZA has of course been the tool of the chiefs, and the astonishing success of his imposture hi. materially advanced the policy of those leaders" who delight in war." At the date of the last despatches, the Prophet wait Meted to be with Komi, who, though locally only chief of the Galeikaa, is virtually the acknowledged and paramount heed of all the Kaffir tribes. Bearing in mind the well-known duplicity of these semi•barbarous rulers, we are more disposed to attach importance to a fact like this than to any professions of amity and peace which the different local chiefs may have conveyed to the Colonial Government. Those who were on the spot, and whose perceptions were naturally sharpened by a remembrance of past perils, represented the state of thing. in British Kaffraria at the end of last August as decidedly menacing. The people were killing off their cattle as fast as they could, and when Naked their reason for doing so were sullenly silent; they were striking work where they had been employed; they were busy in sharpening their assegais; ocossienal rumours were heard that "the Rsasi•ae were oomi•g to help them," and mysterious allusions were made to some forthcoming event as to which they evaded all definite explanation. The general impression pro dead on those beet able to judge was that "a war was in process of getting up." It is indeed possible that if the colonial border be early put in • state of efficient defence, actual hostilities may be averted, or at all events speedily suppressed. In this point of view it is satisfactory to find that not only is the military force on the frontier stated to be far more efficient than it has been on the occasion of any periwig outbreak, but that the colonists were showing themselves alive to the duty and necessity of arming in their own de fence. The mounted polies were is a perfect state of discipline: volunteer companies were forming at Graham's Town and a rifle corps at Bathurst. This is as it should be. The defence of the colonial ►order ought to be regarded rather Na a colonial than an imperial concern. Responsible Govern ment has its privileges as well as its du ties, and though the forces of the mother country could not of course be withheld in any crisis of imminent danger, yet it is high time that the colonists should learn to trust mainly to their own right arms and their own resources for defence against every class of enemies, except those which attack the colony merely as forming a portion of the empire. As long as the ties of colonial dependence subsist in any shape, Great Britain is of course bound to protect the settlers of Southern Africa from the hostile aggression of any power with which, on her own account, she may bosomed in hostilities. But the obligation is somewhat different in the cue of the inroads of native tribes. With regard to these it is not just that the entire cost of protecting the Cape colonists should be thrown on the British taxpayer. Let us trust that we shall not be called upon to honour another draft en the public purse for the expense of a fresh Kaffir war. I t. .111 I 4. Tf. 7.

Terroukh Ilan, the Shah's Ambassador—upon whose minion a certain stress has been laid in diplomatic circles, as affording the probable means of a pacific solution of the difficulty—hue arrived in Constantinople I bat up to the present time, as we learn by advioes from the Turkish capital, his dorm lanai has been inoperative. The British Minister, indeed, finding the Persian to be unprepared to con cede on the part of hie government the first indispensa ble point, namely, the unconditional withdrswal of the Sbah's forces from Herat, has, it is maid,refused to enter' oa any negotiations whatever, or even to admit the astonished Envoy to an audience. It remains to be seen whether the Envoy, frustrated in this first attempt to gain time by negotiation, will still per severe in carrying his protest to the foot of the Emperor at Paris. The Brumela liedipsedatice of yesterday gives the following in the form of a despatch from Trieste : "Letters from Teheran state that the English expe dition to the Persian Oalf cams some anxiety in Persia! The Persian troops, victorious in Affghan- Mien, have received orders to occupy the environs of Herat." PROTESTANTISM IN HUNGARY. The protestant, in Austria have felt some uneui nese since the publication of the concordat, at the absence of positive guarantees for the enjoyment of their rights and for the maintenance of the liberty of conscience. In the oonferences of Iglu, held on the 20th, 21st, and 22nd ult., the Evangelical Synod of Hungary decided to petition the Emperor for the convocation of a general synod; a body which alms, according to the statute of 1790, is able to institute a new organisation of the reformed church in Hungary. The assembly of Calvinists, representing a population of 760,000 souls, met on the Bth at Debrecsin, sad declared that they did not feel authorised to deliberate upon the project for newly organising the protestant church submitted to their examination by the government; and that it belongs exclusively to a general synod to establish regulations affecting the interests of the protestant church. The same assembly insists also that the re-organisation of the schools of the Helvetic Confession be reserved to the synod. The Indepondones .111.19. obeerves that the with drawal of the Austrian troops from the Principalities would give rise In those provinces to an energetic movement in favour of union. This movement, which would probably end in the establishment of a strong homogeneous and hes nationality upon the borders of the Danube, might reset upon Transylvania and Hungary. In the latter was it may be doubted (thinks the liscliporadanro) whether the Czar would again interfere to reduce the ineurgent nationalities to obedience. THE STATE OF NAPLES. (11011 01/11 OWN NAPLES, OCT. 27. Additional Swim troops have been sent up to St. Elmo, which commands the city, and the reserves have all been celled in; so that Naples has the ap pearance of being a city of soldiers. Strict orders have been issued to suppers the slightest shout or demonstration even with the most extreme measures ; and, as everything indicates snob a determination, eo also does it show the ezietenos of a certain degree of apprehension on the part of the authorities. There was seme absurd attempt at a demonstra tion on Saturday night near the Porta San Gennuo, at the Arco del Pargatoeio. It is believed that It originated with the low police, who would be glad to draw in the liberals, and to prove that they are necessary to maintain public order. Nothing, how ever, cams of it. It was a purely ridiculous affair, and the liberal party will not, I feel assured, lend themselves to any premature or suicidal follies. The ultimatum recently presented by England and France to this Court was couched nearly in the following words : " That Prance and England had no intention to intervene in the affairs of Naples; but inasmuch as their friendly representations had produced no good effects, they would not permit their legations to sanction by their presence and assistance a system of government of which they °said not approve. The British fleet would remain at Malta, end the French fleet at Toulon; and, from time to time, a vessel would be despatched to see whether the presence of a por tion or the whole of the fleet was needed for the protection of the subjects of the Two Powers—for other motives it would not come." The consuls of the respective Powers will sign passports, and transact all other business necessary, and I know that in one case an application he ' been made to the America minister for counsel and assistance I. case of need. Of one thing the French and English may feel assured, that every precaution will be taken to to avoid the neces sity of a visit from the fleet, and I understand that directions have been issued to the police to see that we are respected. RUSSIA AND ENGLAND. TRIESTE, Orr 31. Letters from Constantinople of the 26th announce that, in reply to a demand made by M. de Boutenieff, Admiral Lyons declared that the fleet would remain is the Black Sea wall the treaty of Paris should be fulfilled.

THE UNITED STATES. By the United States mail steamer Amigo, which armed off Cowes yesterday, on hark' way to Havre, we have advicee from New York to the i.Sth ult. The Arago brought 104,000 dollars id specie for Southampton, and carries 770,000 dollars !pecie to Havre. Ot her paaaengers, 190 were for France and 17 for England. On the 18th ult., at 4 p.m., 20 miles cut of Sandy Hook, the Arago exchanged signals with one of the New York and Liverpool packet ships, showing a black ball in a red signal and a black ball in her tore topsail. On 23rd of Oct., at 3 p.m., lat. 47.45 lon. 48.10, she exchanged signals with the New York wail steamer Atlantic. Ms United States mail steamer Ericsson, from Live pool on the let Oct., arrived at New Yin:: on the 17th. Her advices had been anticipated by the Penis, which had taken ost three days later news. From the New York papers it would seem that there is still room for doubt as to the actual results of the Penneylvania election. The Arte York Time of the 17th publishes farther returns, which reduce the democratic majority to 675, remarking on them —" The election in the Keystone State has again assumed a different phase. The contest has been an exceedingly close one, and at the present time it is impossible to say with any degree of certainty which party has triumphed. It will require official returns to decide the result." Nothing else was talked of in New York. A great Fremont demonstration took place on the 16th ult. at Poughkeepsie, at which, it is said, 16,000 persons were present. The procession was headed by about 1,000 horsemen, consisting mostly of farmers from the neighbouring counties. The horses and their riders were decked with Fremont flags. Some of the latter also bore banners with suitable inscriptions. One had a long rifle, labelled "For Bally Brooks." Following these were delega tions on foot from all the neighbouring towns, each provided with suitable banners. There were several thousands of these. Behind them came about 100 waggons, some of very large dimensions, tilled with ladies. Oa one of these was the following inscrip. tion : "No bachelors for us. Jessie. Free hearts and free homes." On another, which was garlanded with flowers, was the following: "We are of the tribe of Jessie; for equal rights and free discussion." Au old lady dressed in black carried a banner draped in mourning, emblematic of Kansas, with the in scription—" Will you not admit us." The delegation from Poughkeepsie itself was headed by a large buck's head borne aloft, labelled "The pathfinder's game." Another banner was as follows: "For President, John C Fremont, the civil engineer. May he level up freedom, and level down slavery." The delegation from New York was very large. It was headed by a brass band, following which was the whole of the Fremont and Dayton Artillery Company, with its two brass guns. Then came the banners and membens of various clubs. The dele gation from Albany and the neighbouring counties WAS also very large. From Hudson and from Co. lumbia County generally the delegations poured in with many banners and devices. From many other places all along the river from New York to Troy, came delegations with their banners. The guests having been received, the procession reformed and marched through Main, Market, and other principal streets. The meeting was held on Forbes'-hill, a green elope leading from the town on its western side to the river side. A large stand was erected on the summit, which commands a magnificent view of the prospect for many milts along the Hudson. The Hon. Charles Sumer bad been invited to attend, but was still under medical interdict. Mr. Brooks, the assailant of Mr. Sumner, had re ' ceived a testimonial from Charleston in the shape of a pair of reale: In the letter acknowledging the gift Brooks says:—" May God deliver me from the necessity of using them against any fellow-being; but should the necessity devolve upon me, I trait that He will enable me to use them with honour." At Portsmouth, Virginia, great excitement had prevailed, occasioned by the raising of a Fremont pole and banner. The twittery were called out to preserve the peace, and the mayor convened the council, who paned an order to cut down the pole, which was forthwith done. The raising of the pole is said to have been done in burlesque. THE ITALIAN NATIONAL SUBSCRIPTION. (COMMUNICATED.) As the Genoese Committee of the National Sub scription " for the 10,000 muskets to be given to the first Italian province that shall rise against the corn moa foe" have appealed to the liberal minded of every country to assist their efforts, a eit9tch of the origin and progress of the musket fund may be tate. resting to English readers. The proposition appeared on the 19th of August io the Italia e Popolo, a liberal paper, published in Genoa. Assuming that Italy ought to rise, " which duty is no longer discussed but acknowledged;" "that Daly can rise and triumph;" "that the province which takes the initiative is entitled to the support of all the other provinces," the editor suggests that as the provinces most oppressed and consequently the most likely to ries first, are Lure, owing to the vigilance of their tyrants, to be entirely deprived of arms, those Italians who are tree should strive in some measure to supply this want, and exhorting every donor to say out boldly, "It is I who give" (Son io the lo do), he promises to publish the lists of subscribers in him paper. The first list of the 21st contained 22 names, chiefly workmen. The Ga:zeita del Popolo, a clever, liberal, constitutional paper, published at Turin, the same that set on foot the subscription for the 100 cannons of Alessandria, pronounced the effort " good," adding that " guns and cannons are the only memorandum with which the Italians can hope to drive out the foreigner and his satellites; and until the actual forces of the nation unite for this purpose, the nation must remain enslaved." The Diritto, an association paper, called radical, but always consti tutional, supported the ides di lotto (wore, and offers its columns to the committee. The Vessillo della Liberia, the Lerume, the Corriere Mercantile, L'Av visalore Alessandrinu, L'Osservatore Tortonese. the Unteme, and a Dumber of other journals of more or lees importance, applauded the effort. A rumour that the government intended to sup press the subscription was indignantly contra dicted by the constitutional papers. Even the Catiolico, the ally of Austria and the Pope, " candidly conferees " that such an act would be imprudent, that perhaps the Sardinian cabinet aspires to the monopoly of revolts and National sub scriptions, but that having permitted the subscription for the 100 cannons, it could not suppress that for the 10,000 muskets without being illogical. So the 11,a is e Popo'o continued to publish the lists of subecribers. lite second contain, d6O names., the third iO, the fourth 90 (29 from Turin), the fifth 110 (21 from Turin), the eighth 160. On the 30th of August, at the head of the ninth list containing 280 names, the editor of the /Guru e Popolo naively re marks, "Yesterday the paper was confiscated by order of the censorship ; we have yet to learn the reason." And on the following day he announces that the con fiscation having taken place three times in ten days he shall publish the "Lists" apart for the future, adding Long live the liberty of the press." Evi dently he had " learned the reason" of the confisca tion, as had the other Piedmontese journals, who were loudly indignant at the " want of logic" shown by the government. Nevertheless, in the /idle e Popolo of the lit September, appear the names of the committee: "Medici, colonel; Masto, merchant; Mangini, shop. keeper; °item, private gentleman; Cesareto, work man"—men chosen from among the subscribers (as specified in the programme), to regulate the ad, ministration of the funds. So far from the confiscation haring deterred the Italians from enrolling their names, the 10th list, published "separately," contains 364) names, headed by General Garibaldi, and closed by General Allemand, with the following letter to the editor of the Italia e Pepolo : Bale, SOW*.
