in BISHOP OF LONDON ♦. TILE REV. J. Z. °LAWTON& ARCHES COURT.—THIS DAY. Cerise Ns J. Deane. This Mr haring been called ea DT. 13.910 rd. ler the Bohop , having detailed age former proceediage, said the court would me that the ✓e - &ter part of the articles had bees admitted by Mr. ' pledatone , the objections being to the 4th and 6th articles. The pro'l.sl objection of Mr. Gladstone was that the pro whoa,.4 the bishop had not bees duly and properly tercet go e der (Meer of the c .urt, George Todd, bad *erred the ' , e a bo o n is Accordance with Mr. Oladetene's m aam. and for that geatimusa's eionveniesee. What wen the cireemstaorcs of the cue? On Saturday, the beta be. lot the officer of the court made an attempt to „ n „. alr t.l.ektone with the prohibitioa by calling at the ; c hop) in Long sere;- but not Audi/ the Vey. geatlinnea to called on the following day, re the eam geacime et of divine service. Mr. Gladatesup at that time *Noted to neeive the prohibition, but requested the MI- en to tall at hiv residence at Brixton, is the meaty of farm on the Monday, when he would consent to receive et. t.ia war done, and it was, therefore, idle oa the part of gig Gladstone to object to the due service of the prolilbition. After some tort . o bservations the leaned doctor eon owed by railing the court to confirm the prohibition. Spinks said that he appeared foe Mr. Oholstose, and, after some preliminary oboe-relations, remarked that his gloat had. an ignorance of the ectleidastiad law, proceeded ertec.ouely twee. , the court ou former ace:micas, and, con• seqaeatly opal ha proceeding, judgment was advents to ya /a t jud i fe—Do you mean to commune upon my judg ana—bcceuse it is irregular ? Du kinks intended to raise the whole question of the law es the subj. et. The Jth.ge —I f you intend to raise any objection to my Moore% I have nothing to say against it more than to Intorna yoi that is es most irregular. Pr. Stank, would not at that moment go into the matter, though there were precedent Peg lag his doing so. So far m the. ',hop called his hcense a limes at pleasure, he (Dr. pooh.) ilinied the fact. The lionise was a license in full, and witteoit any reservation or limit. Ho had also to take &Tenon to the validity of the prohibition, which was worded se the prohibition of the " Bight Rev. Father God," nob ad of " Father in God. Nu doubt it was • Weigel error, bat, so far u the court was coocerned, it eat a fatal error, inasmuch as Mr. (il4dBlooll was brought into the court upon the prohibitioa, and upon a Yich the court was to give judgment. There was another very important objection to the service of the prohibition. The service took piaci, in the diocese of and sot in the diocese of the Bishop of Igia don. Now he maintained that this was a fatal objection. The Dunn of Arches—ls not this the court of appeal for the whole province ? Dr. :Speaks—No doubt it is, but I contend the archbishop is the ordinary of the babups, and not of the subjects of the bohop. Mr. Gladstone clearly ought to have been cited in the iliac. on of Loodou. The beet objection he should take was. that thee. pruceediags had been contrary, if not to the letter, certainly to the spirit of the Church Discipline Act. The haste that had taken place in the preliminary inquiry was contrary to that act, which provided that notice shoal,' be given to an actuate' party of any charge aglow him. The hurry of the proceedings had been a great hardship upon Mr. Gladstone, who had been com pelled to appear, not knowing the law, and who by his personal appearance had probably deprived himself of the admatme of the preliminary objeetiome whichbad now been made The learned gentleman proceeded to object to the articles upon technical grounds. He coateeded that the prokibit.aa was not • valid last rument. sad cited came from Hooker's " Eceleiiastical Polity" in support of his views. Mr. tilailat.cie had no elispositum to oppose lawful autho rity, and if this court confirmed the instrument of prohibi tion, the rev. gentleman weuld retreat to the judgment of the court and erase to do duty, although perhaps he might appeal to a higher tribunal on • point *flaw. There was • MI6 ult•ns conviction on his part that the bishop had no power such ae he claimed, and it was apes that ground that be bad withstood it. The instrument purported to be a ettp.hsh3 of the license, prohibiting Mr. Gladstone from doing ditty in the diocese. He submitted that that instru ment 1134 plainly a punishment on the face of it, and there fore filen and void, because it was not in accordance with the a. t for tie. correction of clerks, which stated that no Foresaw; for the punishment of clerks ehould be taken without due *,thee being given. It had beta said that thew pr , trie tory chapels were unknown to the law, and that that was the reason why they alone were under the arbitrary power of the bishop. His argument was that the law was expensive in its nature. The circle enlarged by the application of eireuanstauces to particulars. lf, therefore, he !Wild prove that there was an analogy between the minis ten chapels of preprietary chape and preachenhips and lecture ships is marinas pariehes, then he should prove that Mr. Gladstone was entitled to the name protection as clergymen placed in that position. The learned gentleman proceeded *idiom that the two descriptions of clergy were in all eni gma Washes'. It was • remarkable fact that the question era remeation of • license under such circumstance/ was areseiviestioned in any of the books, which was very strong arcative evidence that the claim had never been asserted. There was no form of revocation of license, which he held also to be stroag negative evidence that there W..f no such claim to this arbitrary power on the part of the bishop, which was in fact adepoaition of a clergyman from the ministry without trial. Another point, to which be would call the attention if the court, was that, even sup posing the bishop had this power to revoke a licence mice granted, still it remained for the promoter to prove that he had the power to prevent • clergyman from doing duty. throughout the whole of his diocese. Unless it was proved that the whole of the iostrumest of prohibition was good, the whole of it legally mast be considered bed. This pro hibition was not a mere matter of form, se it very clearly appeared that the Bishop of London has determined fully to tarry it out. Some time since, Mr. Gladstone, it &p -rated, was going to do duty at Bow, and the bishop pre vkatid h.m, sending down to the rector of Bow and the churchwardens • =coition against the reverend gentleman's appear.une there. Dr hey ford objected to the iutroduetioa of such gustiest, es the y were nut properly before the court. ?•;•.iiks—The facts have appeared ia the newspapers, • which ere the authentic history of the day.

The extra horse police stationed in tho county of Armagh have been removed, tranquillity having, it is believed, been sufaciently restored in the disturbed districts. The local journals continue to describe various out rages of an agrarian character, perpetrated by the Molly Maguire*, or Hibbonmen of the county of Leitrim. The horse used by a bailiff the other day, when proceeding to the sub-sheriff with writs of ejectment against some of the tenantry of Lyons town, was found next morning stabbed to death with some sharp instrument. Orders have been received at Queenstown to lay down additional moorings for eleven men of war. The electric wire from Howth to Dublin was I tested yesterday and found perfect. It is stated that the telegraphic cable for crossing the channel at Holyhead was discovered to have been injured by the strain in several places, and that 20 miles of it should be examined ; still it is expected to be carried across by this evening. The Gth Dragoon Guards (late the Carabineers) are embarking this morning (dismounted) for Herne bay, to proceed from thence to Canterbury, to await ' orders for India. Mr. Clements has addressed his constituents in Leitrim, appealing to his past parliamentary con duct. NICHOLAS ABROAD.—The Berlin papers bring word that the train in which the Cur and his suit left Ber ' lia on the 27th ult., for Poland, ran off the rails near a place called Csenstachan, between Breslau and Warsaw. The reports make no mention of personal injuries sustained. The train was delayed two hours, and then proceeded on its journey. The stories of little outbreaks of the imperial character, which have been caught up with avidity and Printed at Bt rliu, leave one wondering whether their sub ject be a fanatie or only a good actor. The following from Kress Zerstung describes a hug from the Russian bear : " The night before the Czar left Sans souci, his Ma jesty slipped out of his chamber and entered in to conversation with a private soldier of the Bran denburg cuirassiers (of which regiment the Cur is colonel), wbo was doing duty at the door. His Majesty spoke to the sentry a few simple, affectionate, and soldier-like words, and then, u if taking leave of the entire regiment in his person, he bestowed on him a warm embrace." At the Breslau railway station a dejruner bad been prepared for the Cur and Prince Charles of Prussia, on their return, in • private room. This the Czar declined, and chose to lunch with the general empany. After a hasty meal he walked out un the platform in search of a dramatic opportunity, and, singling out • soldier on duty, slapped him familiarly on the shoulder with " You and I have met before." ROTAL SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OE Carat?, to ANntaca.—The 26th annual meeting was held yesterday at the Ilanever-equare Rooms, Lord !lath, rton (in the absence of the D u ke o f Beaufort, owing to indisposition), in the chair. His lordship, in opening the proceedings, stated that some ides of the good which the society had been enabled to effect might be gleaned from the fact that since its commencement it had conducted no fewer than 4,000 prosecutions. Indeed, Mr. Martin had ones confessed to him that, but for some such institution, his bill would ha-e been a dead letter. But the greatest glory of the society by in its preventive character. It had tiled a stigma in the popular estimation upon cruelty, and had thus prevented far more crimes than it bad punished. The example which it had set had been followed in Jamaica, at Dresden, and in Munich. It bad likt wise given birth in France to the Oramsoot law, and a large society bad been organised in Paris, with the Prince Pmident at its bead. During the year an extremely gratifying meeting had been held in the Conservatoire des Arts , at which Ms. W. Adam Smith was present and made a spank as • deputation from the London society. From the INA ageoeiation there was present, in return, M. le Timed, de Veinier, a nobleman gveatly distinguished for lb ewsetiens in the cause of hu manity.

SHL—The following appears in Mr. Oliphant's " Law of Horses, Racing, Wagers, and Claming," 13.184 : "In the reign of William the Third, A.D. 1699, certain games called lotteries had been set up throughout England and Wales, by means of which great sums of money had been fraudulently got from unwary persons, and from children and servants of several gentlemen and merchants. To remedy this an act was passed for suppressing lotteries, which declared them to be public nuisances, and imposed a penalty of 6001. on every keeper of a lottery, and 201. on every player."

Sir John Pakiagtost has this day received two despatches and their enclosures, address's to the Itight lion. Earl Grey by Lisnit.-Osa. Sir Henry 0. W. Smi th , Bart., K.0.C.8. King William's Town, 7th April, 1862. My Lord. — My despatch to your lord.hip, No . 47, of the 17th ult., will have described the operations and movements of the troops under my command op to that date. 2. Shortly after its transomirion, Lieut.-Colonel Perceval reported that in continuance of hie operations he had com pletely cleared the Fish River Bush of the enemy, spoiling him of 3110 head of cattle and many goats and horses, cap turing also several stand of arms, and slaying many of his men. I cannot too highly commend the very able, judi cious' and soldier-like conduct of Lieut.-Coloael Peroeval in the performance of a very arduous and difficult duty, which he Abated by a succession of movements so well combined that the service wee earned out with the loss of only one man killed and one wended. The lanai:tent colonel speaks in terms of great praise of the conduct of Major Armstrong of the Cape Mounted Rifles, and of the troops and burghers employed, the latter numbering about thirty-Svc from the district of Albany. 3. The facility with which, comparatively speaking, the Fish River Bush has been cleared on this occasion, may induce your lordshi p t o regard former operations as il planned. I pray you therefore to boar in mind, that the Kaffir fought in thin dense bush in a very different spirit, and that the numerous Hottentots, formerly in this strong hold, had dispersed, before the late operations. I re gard Lieutenant-Celonel Perceval as an officer of the highest promise. 4. The troops tinder Major-General Somerset, after the enemy had been dislodged from the Water Kloof and Ful ler's lioek, pursued him through the Kat River, laving sent cavalry patrols into the passes of the Water Kloof. The latter slew several of the fugitives, and captured 38 horses. & The columns of Lieutenant. Colonel Michel and Lieu tenant-Colonel Eyre having joined me at the Blinkwater on the 16th ult., I marched on the 18th for the Valley of the Chumie, on the line of the enemy' s retreat into the Ama the. Prom that point, on the 21st ult., Lieutenant-Colo nels Michel and Eyre were ordered to penetrate the Inner Amatolas ; while Lieutenant-Colonel Perceval, having been directed to much upon Fort Cox on the eompletien of his operations in the Fish River Bash, entered the moun tains on that side. The instructions to these officers are an nexed. . II Colonel. Michel and Eyre tarried on four days' most active operations, being joined on the third by Colonel Per- coral ; destroying the enemy's villages, especially those of Hottentot rebel., in his most formidable holds; Colonel Eyre acting on the are of the circle of which the ope ratio's. of Colonel Michel and Colonel Pummel were the chord. They captured all the rattle they saw—about fifty head—and each o ffi cer In his report regards the flight of the enemy, and his abandonment of the Ama toles, as most complete. They could se* them and their families at a distance, moving in great number towards the Let. Colonel Michel thus expresses himself : " From my own observation I am enabled decidedly to say that the o,iika tribes generally have migrated from these their strongholds. A ith crops utterly destroyed, and with a spirit so broken that now two companies may traverse with safety where heretofore a !arse column was required, I deem the war in this q u art er v i r t ua ll y concluded, although the faithlessness of seeming allies, and bands of marauding Hottentota, may yet for a time prevent the conclusion of a peace." The following occurs in the report of Colonel Pyre:—" We advanced through the Bomah Pau to the Quilli Quilli (Proper), thence through the Oulu Valley, amending the heights, and back again through the lloinah Pass. The result aatialled me that this part of the mountains was entirely abandoned. With the exception of three Kaffir, whom I could sec through my telescope, all train, towards the Kabousie Neck, two or three women in the bash, too old to bilk, and two Kaffir's, near the Boniah Pass, there was not a living soul to be seen, while all the spoor indicated that the cattle had traced towards the Kabouste during the tains that fell as we entered the mountains. In the afternoon I marched with the whole force through the Lenga, and bivouacked on the Keiskamma. On the following day, the 24th, I marched to Fort Cox." 7. I enclose the copy of a report from the GaAs commis sioner, corroborative of those of the officers in command of patrols. 8. These operations having been thus most effectually and energetically carried out, I moved my heed quarters, on the 26th ult. ' to Fort Cox, where I assembled the troops under Colonels Michel, Eyre, and Perceval, on honing the general instructions annexed. 9. Having established Colonel Michel with his column at Fort Coo, occupying Mount Macdonald, I, on the follow ing day, the 26th ultimo, returned to heed quarters at King William's Town, moving at the same time the commands of Colonels Eyre and Percent' for the purpose of posting the runner in the Keiskamma Hoek, and the latter on the range of the Quilli Quail. Previously, however, to their taking up these positions, I directed Colonel Eyro, with Colonel l'erceval, thoroughly to penetrate and clear the great forest ofPerie, the Buffalo Poorts, and Murray's Knott, all great resorts of the enemy. This service, after two days' energetic and dctrrmined operations, use most effectually performed ; upwards of 100 head of cattle and *e vent' horses having been captured, groat numbers of villages burned in the very forest, and large Helds of cultivation de stroyed on the verge of the woods. Scarcely any resistance was offered by the enemy. Colonel Eyre describes these forests as more dense and difficult to penetrate than oven those of Faller's Hoek and the Blinkwater. While these operations were in progress, I detached Captain Moody of the Royal Engineers with a stro ng d e t ac h ment from King William's Town to pest himself between Murray', Krantz and the bele Berg, to intercept fugitives driven before Col. Eyre. 10. The 12th Lancers had previously menthe& to occupy the Kaboude Neck. Major Tottenham, eamniaarling the regiment during the temporary illness of Uotth-Colonel Pole, reports, that an his march thither he eagenred 78 head of cattle. and a =saber of goats, all Wag driven towards the Kci • and thee be observed kegs Weds in the distance rapidly ;moving M the mate dilution, imlicating a general trek. 11.

Their dia toms free this nest of rebels, although nct great, was still swilaiaat to enable the latter to rally and assail de tashiatinta according to their usual custom. Although all the oMeen in command reported their conviction that the Kaflin generally had fled from the Amatolas, I ' was always of opinion that many of their waniers and of the rebel Hottentot* would hang about the mountains, so long as they could possibly there maintain themselves. Mr. Brownlee, the Osike coniniissiooer, euter tained the same impression, as appears by the letter part of his letter of the 20th ultimo (Enclosure No. 2.) I have, through a government notice, warned the colonists to Ma naus most vigilant, for they may rest assured the country will be infested by numerous bands of robbers for months to come. Subsequent reports from Colonel Michel, ono of them written from the abandoned Hottentot encampment in the Amato's, ' are of the most satisfactory hind ; his continued operations have been perfectly successful; and Lieutenant-Colonel Peroeval has also vigorously pursued be the enemy in every direction in which h e was t o found. 16. On my arrival at King William's Town, I learned that the Chief Stuck had applied to Pato to use his inter cession in his favour. Enclosed is a copy of the T'Slambie commissioner's report on the subject. 10. Having also received information that many Oinks , had sought refuge in timbale's country, 1 despatched Meseta. lyen and Conway to convey the annexe d message to that chief. Ile has paid 910 of the 1,000 head of cattle imposed upon him as a fine, and the remaining 90, paid on the 10th April, are repor ted to be on their way to King William's Town _.. 17. The fickle nature of the Kaffir delights in change, which he ever believes will turn, in some way, to his own I advantage. Peace having been made by me on my arrival In Kaffraria in 1847, Sandili is fully impressed with the idea that a similar course will be purrued on the arrival of my successor. The Kaffir feeling on this point ia well set forth in the letter of Mr. Brownlee, the llaike commis sioner, under date the 4th ultimo, a copy of which, marked No. 8, is enclosed. 18. I cannot avoid once more to express my deep mortifi cation that the burghers, as a body, upon whose aid I so much calculated in the early part of the war, and again on issuing my proclamation of the 7th February, 1852, should have so signally failed in their duty to their Queen, to the colony, and to their families. As your lordship, in your despatch of the 14th January last, appears to impute to me, with reference to them, a want of a proper conciliatory dis position, and draws a comparison between me and that able public officer, Mr. Pine, I transcribe a portion of a letter addressed to nee by the lieutonaatgovernor on the 20th ultimo. " Your Excelleucy has been pleased to express your approbation of the policy I have pursued with regard to the Boers of this district. I feel it, however, now my duty to say that that policy was emphatically your own; and if I have been able to carry out that policy more effectually than you could do, it has been simply owing to my having been on the spot, whereu you were compelled to carry it out by means of agents who either did not or wo u ld not comprehend its spirit. The Boers, however, perfectly appreciate your views regarding them ;_ and it is a source of the greatest pride to me to think that my name is, had perhaps will hereafter be, gratefully mentioned along with your own in the home steads of these honest-hearted men." Your lordship will observe that Mr. Pine, with that candour which is his guide, attributes his success to my example; and I may fairly say that, if an honest and straightforward course, desiring to promote the interests and welfare of a people fails in its object, I have nothing with which to reproach myself. 19. I have now reported to yin lordship the progress of events up to the date on which I relinquish the government of the colony of the Cape and the command of the army. My position has been se arduous, and one of as great difli calty, as ever man was placed in. The origin of this war Involves a most intricate and truly complicated question, I requiring a general view to be taken of antecedent sub jects. It is an incontrovertible fact that the Kaffir people were molt contented with the rule established in British Kaffraria ; while shortly previous to the outbreak a rest lessness on the part of some of the c became apparent. At this period the treachery of the fickle and ungrateful Hottentot was at work. Many of them—possessing just sufficient education to make them m echievous and capable of obeerviag what occurred at public meetings held within the colony to resist aed oppose every measure of government which the colonists regarded RS the exercise of constitutional rights, though, in point of (act, such proceedings approached the brick of anarchy and confusion—could not discriminate between national remon- I strums and open resistance. Filled with the belief that they were an "oppressed and ill-used race," they proceeded covertly to concoct with the Kaffirs those hostile schemes which were fast approaching maturity, when my presence on the frontier, and the measures I took, most fortunately precipitated the war ere the conspiring parties were pre pared and their means collected. Had it been otherwise, the outbreak would have been far more formidable even than it has been. I tried every expedient to avoid war short of that concession which would have lowered the dignity of her Majesty's authority ; yet a most peculiar feature of this outbreak was, that no specific reason was ever assigned, nor any redress sought, by the Kaffir chiefs, though frequently called upon to state their cause of restlessness if such actually existed ; while the (hike p e ople profe ssed attachment to the existing order of things, and were apparently most con tented with • rule which protected them from tyranny. All mission stations were flourishing and more than usually attended. During this time the Hottentots were passive— some doubted their loyalty—this roused them—and front several places, even from the Kat River, I received public assurances of their fidelity and devotion. When the war broke out it was regarded by me and every other functionary as a moat unpopular revolt of the Garkas to support Sen dai in error, the other chiefs openly expressing them selves to that effect. The torch of tumult, however, was soon blazing ; and my means were for months most inadequate, amounting to only 1,700 British troops, the greater part of whom occupied twelve unavoid able garrisons, leaving 800 available to control 4,000 Hottentot auxiliaries of doubtful loyalty, and to meet these hordes of well armed, athletic, and intrepid barbarians in the field. Operations had to be carried on over an extent of country larger than Great Britain and Ireland, of the greatest natural difficulty, intersected as it is by mountains and riven, and filled with woods and rocky fastnesses. My scanty force enabled me alone to maintain, with unflinching determination, every position. I relied, MIA fallaciously, on the inhabitant/ rallying round her Malesty's troops; and they have themselves to blame for =of the horrors and miseries they have suffered at the of the enemy ; all which I predicted in my proclama tisa of the 3rd February, 1851, must inevitably happen, umbel they skald turn out en moue to resist the torrent. I 11•Numund a revolt—es I have already shown most un expmassi—eif surly the whole of the eastern Ilottentot popolstita, snarly so useful against the Kaffies; as also aa aztaaolva dehetzen in a corps of that clam previously riot lsyd sad of the highest utility in Kaffir warfare. The had been taught or had imbibed the marked imptorks to which I have befon alluded, that they were an and ill-used race ;" and that Holy Writ, which , ey are very fond of quoting, taught them they were justified in fighting to regain the country of which they re =themselves as deprived. Surrounded as I and General &menet were by these people drawn (rum the eastern and western districts, one false step or untimely exercise of power and martial law would have plunged the whole into a chaos of revolution; her Majesty's troops must have abandoned their advanced positions, and fallen back on Graham's Town ; and the T'Slambie tribes would have risen, as well u every =ly-headed black from Cape Town to Natal. . _ - 20:t the promentien of this war, 6,000 war riors, • to the Kann' own etatement, have fallest i lsoltullos SO chief ea" ell of them of some distinc. lien t RAM bead of cattle, awl hinunerable goats, have been taken float the Gallon.

I sea messed in your lordship's despatch of having " hied in showing that foresight, energy, and judgment, whisk my very dacult position required ;" and censured for net having sooner brought thin war to a termination ; although in your lordship's despatch, No. 692, of the Bth March, 1861, the following remark appears:— " It Is a peat satisfaction to me in the anxiety in which l - am placed by the intelligence which has meshed me, to know that I may rely with the atonal soalldeace, not only upon your vigor and judgment is your sallibiri operaUons, but also upon your enlightened humanity." Tide bag, however, bees a war unavoidably of would , to enure the result I anticipated mil have sad one which mold sot have been eon eselail Ey. , I speak with some sr risme in war on • bop male, as well as of a desultory character. When regular OMAN are opposed to each other, a signal victory may deeihs the Ste of a nation. In a war with barbarians, who lightimay when it so plows them, avoiding coneen tentien,lhat wisest still determined to millet, the contest is Dell ra et img duration. I may, therefore, proudly derive has the reflection which btu' led me to meat H at this war will have been brought to the with that expedition which all the pedlar elmatitetamme will permit ; while during its trseither Gelber tor nest lessee has ever wanted his vatisa.

I twofer the civil government withost a "hole particle of Winer is arrear, mad with a treeetry without a debt; while all the civil officers have worked under me with energy and zeal. The war impending over the Orange River territory, with all its evils and horrors, has been averted; while, had is prosecution be come Imperative, I had collected an ample depot of Com miesariat supplies at Ilmem Fonte;n. Amicable relation ship has been established with the Trans Vaal Emigrant lierers—the refractory native chiefs are restoring their plunder, and submitting to the conditions imposed on them, the turbulent Beers within the Sovereignty, when convicted of overt acts of disloyalty, have had heavy pecu niary fines inflicted on th em , many of which, to theamount of 1,076 f., have already been promptly paid, which I have caused to be placed in the imperial chest, and to its credit—property rises considerably in value— and the revenue of the Sovereignty exceeds its expen diture. The flourishing condition of Natal is deeply indebted to the able and judicious government of Mr. Pine, who, in a letter to me of the 20th of March, thus expresses himself " The only service I have really rendered your Excellency was the sending the contingent into the Sovereignty, and the greater part of any merit there may be attached t o th a t service longs partly to you. It is an easy thing for a subordinate officer to do his duty when he feels that he has a chief above him who, provided he acts honestly and straightfor wardly, will support him whether lie succeeds or fails. Such a chief I have had in your Excellency." 21. I relinquish the command of the troops as expressed in the general order annexed, at a period when, according to the reports I have received from officers in command and other sources, the mass of the (haiku have been expelled from the Amatolu; when the Kaffir,, eel as well as trans Keian, have repeatedly stied for peace, and whin the war is virtually terminated; its continuance having been prosecuted to visit these turbulent savages with that retribution which justice demands, and accord ing to the injunctions in your lordship's despatch of the 13th of May, 1861, conveyed in the following terms: " Your first care, before any permanent arrange ment con be thought of, must he to put an end to the war; hut desirable as it is that this should be accumpliehed as speedily as possible, 1 cannot too strongly express my opi nion that you ought on no account to accept from the rebel tribes any imperfect submission, and that you eliould not allow hostilities to be concluded by scything but their com plete subjection and unuonditional surrender.

Since closing this despatch, while waiting to receive the Governor and Commander-in-Chief, I have received the accompanying commuuication from the Chief fiandili, through Lieutenant-Colonel Perceval, commanding one of the columns in the Amatolss. The Governor and COM. mander-in-Chief, whose proclamation and general order announcing his assumption of the government and com mand of the army, by which I am removed from authority, have been promulgated, is expected every hour. I have therefore given it as my opinion to Colonel Mackinnon, the Chief Commissioner, that he should reply to the effect that Sindili is aware he ought to make application to the (hike Commissioner, placed by me at Fort Cox, fur the express purpose of receiving such =stages, and I have also given Colonel Cloete, the Quartermaater•Generid, my opinion that he should direct the officers in command of columns in the meantime to continue hostilities. Lieut.. Col. Perceval reports of his operations On the 16th inst. I moved up the Oulu River, and searched the kloofs between the Gala and Doom Mountains. Under the krauts, and in one of the kloofs, we succeeded in cap turing 219 head of cattle, killing two Kaffir., without any casualty on our part. At 3 o'clock mm., on the 6th inst., I marched along the ridge between the Oulu and kamma Rivers, to a krautz under the Doorn Mountains, where we succeeded in falling in with the enemy's cattle, killing two Itaffirs,whoge amagais were secured, and wound ing sumo others, and one Hottentot. After searching the various Woofs, we captured 296 head of cattle, together with some horses. We returned C. camp at 41 o'clock p.m., after two days' very fatiguing work." Col. Perceval's exertions are meet. meritorious. Major-General Somerset has just reported that Lieut.- Colonel Napier, in command of a patrol, captured on the 7th instant (yesterday) in very difficult ground, near the Thomas River, 3,120 head of cattle, 70 horses, and 1,500 goats; killing upwards of 10 of the enemy. This makes a total of 4,500 head of cattle captured by the troops under the Major-General in his pursuit of the enemy from Balfour. _ Captain Tylden, Royal Engineers, whose force from Whittlesea was attached to Major General Somerset, thus reports :—" The party who ascended on the left Hank and first turned the cattle, were led by Commandant J. Holden Hawker and Lieutenants Mason and Warner, and that on the right by Captain Austen and Lieutenant Arnold, North Victcria Native Levy; end I have on this occasion brought the names of these officers to your notice, on account of the gallant and deliberate manner in which 950 head of cattle and 60 horses were wrested from the enemy in the face of a powerful resistance, the enemy attacking our rear and both flanks in order to recapture their cattle. Being, however, in strong ground, favourable fur taking the cattle out of the ravines, we succeeded in bringing them up to the open heights, although the enemy followed on our rear until repeatedly repulsed." A very gallant affair occurred u a sergeant of the Cape Mounted Rifles, with 17 men of his corps, was conveying these reports from the major-general. He fell in at night on the Golonci, a rivulet 35 m lea hence, with a party of Kahl and cattle. This Hottentot sergeant immediately attacked them, killed several ef the enemy, took arms and assegais, and brought off 5 horses and 198 head of cattle. It gratifies me much to be thus able in my last despatch to report so favourably of the Cape Corps. The position of affairs in British Kaffraria is now clearly developed, and the contents of the above despatch corro borated. 11. U. SMITIL Here follow a series of instructions to officers in tom ' mand of columns respecting movements, the results of which have been published already. OOVEttNY EN NOTICIL King William's Town, April 2, 1&52. The troops moved from Fort Cox, according to the " Memorandum of movements of the 21th ult.," already published. Lieutenant Colonels Eyre and Perceval, before taking up their positions in the Keiskamma Hoek and on the Qiiilli-Quilli, moved, by his excellency's instructions, to clear the forest of Perie, the Buffalo Poona, and Murray's Krantz, a service which was very effectively performed with but slight opposition; upwards of 100 head of cattle and seven horses ►eing captured.

Information having reached his excellency, during Colo ' nel Eyre's operations at the Buffalo Poorta, that numbers of Giulia cattle were collected at the Doom and Thomu Rivers, orders were sent to him to march immediately to the Kabonsie, take with bins the 12th Lancers, and endea vour to effect a capture.

On the 30th ultimo a petrol of 250 men moved from King William's Town under Captain Robertson, Royal Engineers, for the purpose of completing the devastauon ' of the country stretching front Murray's Krantz along the Isele Berg to Hangman's Bush. A few patches of ripe corn were found and destroyed, but everything indicated the total abandonment of that part of the country, aa the crops were not gathered. Captain Robertson returned this morning to hesd.quarters. The Chief Umbel* has paid very nearly the whole of his fine of 1,000 head of cattle, 80 head only remaining to be brought in. AU often commanding patrols corroborate the reports of the rest, that the Kaffir' are treking out of the Amatolaa; but the colonists may rely that the frontier districts will long be infested by numerous banditti, and that they must not slacken in their vigilance for some months to come.
