^ • ,• _, !country is included in B • Barcena, there vio- r lence must be repressed-crimes detected and punished, and a sufficient force stationed to crush in r e the bud the least rising symptom of disaffection. Time will do the rest. The common Kaffir' will soon feel the favourable difference between British rule and the cruel despotism of Kaffir chieftainship, and a British interest will spring up amongst them which cannot fail to operate favourably to the cause of civi lization and good order on the minds of their lees for tunate c'.:antrymen over the British border." We extract the following from the same journal No It is said, that in inut of the late captures of cattle by the troops the Kaffir' did not fire a shot ; they merely at tempted to drive off the cattle. Still the enemy had not been chastised, or punished, or humbled. But they are sharp-sighted enough to perceive, although we are no match for them in the art of cattle lifting, yet that a prolonged contest with the colony would be a dieagreee?.de and harming, if not a ruineus thing to them. 'rimy have lost all hope of driving us into the sea. But thy have got the cattle, and of course they have gained the victory. It is, however, hoped that even in this respect they will vet be taught a lesson, Um 'bene ficial effects of which will be lasting; and that the legitimate objects of the expedition scram the Kei, about to be under taken by the divotinn under Colonel Somerset, will not be baffled by the superior eunaing of the enem, or obstructed or diverted Item their proper ent by fr y uitless negotia tion. We quote from the Advertiser, which says, in re ference to a late capture of cattle from the Gaika tribes, — Amongst the 1,600 or 1,600 head of cattle taken on this occasion, it was found that tome, not having been colonial, belonged to certain Kaffir* already received as British sub jects, and registered as such by Mr. Commissioner Calder wood, and they were accordingly restored to their lawful owners. The governor was under no obligation to do this, but it has had an excellent effect in hastening the rubmis • sion of the waverer,. It ia now manifest to all that the war has become a toning game with the Kaffirs, and that the alternative of submission has everything in its favour. Received the following from Fortßeaufort, dated 18th Dec. : " Hike Mr. Calderwood very moth, and think that no fitter penes weld have tem Mai an ear Ittwasier to fill the situa tion he has been appointed to. He is straightforward, de chive, and firm. So I hope no more opposition or disapproval will be evinced on account of his having been a missionary. I do not like the intended disposal of the ceded territory, it being occupied almost exclusively by coloured people. This plan has been recommended to the governer, and fears are entertained that the plan will be followed. I see three strong reasons for objecting to it. First, becalm five five or six thousand coloured men, placed on the ceded territory, may, in a few years, become most dangerous to the colony, and may, by combining with the Kaffir,, overthrow and lay waste our frontier districts. Secondly, it will deprive the colony, and especially the eastern province, of servants ; and thirdly, because the greatest por tion of the ceded territory should be sold in order to com pensate the colonists for their heavy losses in the war. Why not reserve for a time half the ceded territory ? It would sell well by and by." A latter from the same place, dated 15th Dec., statee " Affairs are as they were. Mamma has given up about 40 guns and some horses, a-.d would do more, but his people have been dispersed by the recent attacks made on them, and many have gone amongst those of the so-called friendly chief Umtikaka. Dr. Cotton, principal medical officer of the colony, accompanied by Dr. Campbell, 73rd Regiment, who arrived a few days ago from Monte Video. may be daily expected on the frontal. A gentleman, lately arrived from the N.E. boundary, repre sents a portion of Moeheeh's territory as being in an unsettled state, in consequence of disagreements between the emigrant , and natives. These accounts are not clear or full. Bat it seems that the same causes are in operation in Mosheeh's country, that produced the disorders in Griqunland and compelled the interference of the government. Num bers of the emigrants are said to have been unjustly expelled from their habitations, after having been encouraged to ex pend much time and labour in improvements. The govern ment will probably be obliged before long to step in between the disputants. Letters have been received from Col. Somerset's division to the 20th Dec., on which day the march was commenced towards the Kei, to settle matters with Pato and Krei. We understand that " if the general's measures are well carried nut, all must end right." Colonel Johnston and Captain Hogg's men, are said to be on the march to meet Colonel Somerset at the Kei. Kobus Congo ( Pate's brother), sent lb a message, as if c 'ming from Pato, for peace, which was forwarded to the governor ; but Woe an answer was received, it was discovered that the ressetwee had come from Kobus, end not from Pate, they ware them fors instantly sent back with a message from the dipleensde agent, Captain Maclean,who will accompany the eallfiaa, that no more messages would be received immt in& se were sent specially by Pet* himself. Letters from headquarters are to the 21st. They state that the commander-in-chief was about to join Colonel Somerset's division. Intelligence has been received that Saodilla has submitted, and been enrolled as a British subject. Ile has brought in with him 100 head of cattle.—The Kaffir chief Kano, it is stated, will occupy the country that formerly . belonged to Tola.—Some Kaffir spoors were lately seen going into the colony by Jager, Drift, where no party is now stationed. ' A span of oxen were lately missed on that neighbourhood, but were all found with the exception of one, the remains of which only were discovered. and which is supposed to have been slaughtered by the Kaffir,. News has been received that tmhala, with several hun dred followers, and a like number of cattle, has surrendered himself to Col. Somerset, and has beenregistered as a British subject —We understand that the plan of a town at Block Drift has been formed, and that some of the streets have already been laid out by the engineers. From this post to the sea it is supposed his excellency will establish a line of forts communicating with each other, and supported by com munities of natives established in convenient localities. We learn from Col. Somenet'scamp, Buffalo River, under data of 14th inst., that " • patrol of 80 Cape corps started last night, in commode( Capt. Napier, but where they have gone to we cannot ascertain. The colonel is also Rolm ewe time to-day with some Cane corps and Capt. lengs's mounted men. I suppose this move is preparatory to general decampment. Capt. Napier has taken 400 heed at cattle." A letter from the same place, dated the 16th inst.. says: " There has been'another patrol out, and they have killed five Kaffir., taken 250 head of cattle, and two prisoners. The latter say Kreili and Pato have bad a hard fight; that the former won't let the latter into his country, and has takes many of his cattle, which he intends delivering up to the governor." The news from Cape Town is unimportant Pro -^rsitione were before the Legislative Council for build ing a harbour of refuge, and making a revision in the scale of tonnage dues. No alteration had taken place in the rate of exchange upon London, Treasury bills continuing to be quoted at par.

An arrival from the Cape of Good Hope has brought as Graham's Town papers to the 22nd of Dec. According to the accounts now received the state of affairs upon the frontier was beginning to assume a more settled form. Sandilla, the paramount chief of the Caikas, and Umhalla, the most influential leader of the Slambie tribes, had submitted unconditionally, and, in the opinion of competent judges, hostilities were fast drawing to a close. According to the hvntier Times, " a state of peaceful order seems gra dually to be rising out of the chaos that lately pm /ailed. The colonists may now gather hope, and look to th e f u t ure w ithout &cad. Against the new plan of settlement, as far as it has yet been developed, no reasonable objection can be made. The main thing will be to take care that we have not a nominal boundary or nominal native subjects of any chum Whatever amp of OVERLAND INDIA MAIL (Fran the Mom., Honed.) We have just received, by Extraordinary Express, our tiles of papers from Calcutta of the 7th January ; Bombay, 15th February ; and China, 26th December We subjoin extracts: (From the Bombay Times of Jan. 13.) Strensay.—One of those sudden alterations from peace to war and war to peace—from • period of excitement to one of apathy and repose, so characteristic of Oriental history— has once more thrown on our hands • home dis patch almost wholly devoid of interest. The treaty with the Sikhs, given in our last, was duly ratified betwixt Dhulleep Singh and the Governor-General on Christmas-day; and the two august personages just named were again to meet at Lahore on New Year's-day. Four Sikh corps are being raised, to form, with other troops, a frontier brigade at Peshawur. under command of Captain Law, ence, of the 11th Cavalry. Orders have been issued for the reduction of the Scinde field force by about seven thousand men, there to consist of two Europen and five native infantry regiments, one of cava lr y, and five batteries of artillery. These are chiefly withdrawn from Knrimehee. The frontier force has been strengthened ; and than will remain behind from fourteen to seventeen thou sand men, regular end irregular, to do duty. The exams at expenditure over revenue, which in 1846 is supposed to amounted to nearly two tallow, will probably be reduced to what. according to the parliamentary returns, it appears to have been in 18444—considerably upwards of a million. Sir C. Napier has been raised to the rank of Lieutenant. General, and attached to the staff of India. No Commander-in Chief having been appointed for Bombay, Sir T. McMahon, who had taken out his passage by the steamer which leaves a fortnight hence, has been prevailed on to remain for the present in command. Rumour affirms that the Court of Directors and Horse Guards are at issue on the subject. From Cabool we learn that Ukhbar Khan, having in vain endea voured to persuade his father, Dan Mahnmed, from having anything to say to the vakeel deputed to his court by the Governor-General, had, through sheer wantonness, proceeded to and plundered a village near Charekar. Our vakeel was ordered to request of the old Ameer to use his best endea vours to have liberated and sent to India all those of the late Cabool army who might be in captivity either in his own dominions or those of surrounding countries. The Nawaub AIWA', Mehemet' Khan, the instigator of the lab dkarabiam fa the province of Bhopal, toecther with toe esememgegolwith him in the insurrectionary movement, km boa fostered to be imprisoned in the strong-hill for teem d Asseerghur.—The affairs of the Nizam's domiaions are again relapsing into their former deplorable condition, and will continue to do so unless our resident is authorised to interfere more in them than heretofore. Fresh disturbances have broken out among the Khonds of Goomsoor, conse quent on the measures punned by our agent for the sup pression of the barbarous sacrifices of human beings perio dically performed by them. The town of Madras has lately been visited by cholera, but at the latest dates it was on the decline. The country, with this exception, is healthy throughout, and the weather cool and agreeable. The Commandrr-in-Chief of India was present at the ceremony the ratification of the new Lahore treaty at Bhairoowall ea the 25th of December. It has not appeared whether his lordship accompanies the Governor-Gene ral to Lahore, or returns to the provinces. The battle of Feroushah was celebrated with spirit in his amp on the 22nd. The Hon. Mr. Thomason, Lieute nant-governor of the North-western Provinces, quitted Neemuch for Indere on the 28th ult. The Marquis of Tweeddale returns to Madras on the 18th instant. Mr. George Russell Clerk, our new governor, is expected at Bombay about the 24th. He intended to proceed from Cal cutta to Ceylon by the steamer Hindostan ; and the Hon.

LETTERS ON TILE POOR-LAWS.—No. M. Sir, —Both the old law and the new recognise the two classes of impotent and able-bodied poor, but differ much in their treatment of both. The 43rd of Elizabeth gins to the impotent relief at home, or board in parish poer houses ; and to the able-bodied and their children, perish em ployment. The Amendment Act gives to the impoten: relief at home or else in union workhouses; and to tee able-bodied no relief either at home or in the pariah, bas; only in the union workhouse. Thus far with respect to the poor. Then for the admiaistrntion and control : the 43rd of Elizabeth vests it all in the overseers and justices; the Amendment Act in a union board and a board of commis sionen in London. No two statutes can be more broadly distinguished in** main features ; and nobody can doubt which looks the beet on paper. But did not the elder statute lead to intolerable abuse*. I apologize for no abuses but protest against father ing relief in aid of wages ; relief without labour; the allow ance system; the roundemen system; bead money; bread money, and the Cholesbury insolvency ; all upon the 13rd of Elisabeth. Hear the commissioners of inquiry themselves upon this poir t " It is our painful duty to report that in the greater part of the districts which we have been able to examine, the fund which the 43rd of Elizabeth directed to be em ployed in setting to work children and persons capable of tabour but using no daily trade, and in tke necessary relief of tbe Igalsnt, is applied to purposes opposed to the letter, and se mare to the spirit of that law." The gumbos then will be, not between the principles of the Amendment Art and the practice in the South of Eng land after the innovations of the Berkshire magistrate, in 1795, but between the principles of the Amendment Act and the principles of the 43rd of Elizabeth; and first of all, between the union workhouse and parish employment, as a twit of pauperism, and as a mode of relieving it. The character of the union-house we have already con sidered. The building shall be excellent; the situation airy and pleasant; themaster, matron, schoolmaster, and doctor. all alive to their duties ; the dietary liberal ; the hospital well tended ; yards, day-rooms, bed-rooms, beds and utensils, all as clean as the decks of a queen's ship : in short, all phy sical conditions better than in the best labourers' cottages. Still, there is a morel offensiveness about the place intolera ble to all decent men, and much more to all decent women. Of the many among your parish poor, whom you can nerd persuade into the house, the worst shun it not for the worst reasons, and the beet never fail to plead reasons which command your respect. They are, to be sure, no poetical poor we have to deal with. The good are in as decided a minority as the salt of the earth is everywhere, but worthier on that account to be distinguished from the shuffiers and skulkers, the "knaves, loiterers, and valiant beggars, " the scolds of the village, the bullies of the pay table. The workhouse is a powerful check, but no test. The worst characters in every parish out of gaol are there exhibited as the union poor. But the most dramatic pre sentment of such persons and scenes should not make us forget that there are true poor in the land—Nal:are's poor and God's poor, worthy of ell that society can do for them. Now, of the able-bodied who come to the board, the com plaint of every one is, that he ie out of work, and all he asks is to have work found for him. A more reasonable request cannot be made by any man in his aimed condition. The statute of Elizabeth, therefore, found him work, and the principle was followed up by subsequent acts—by the 3rd of Charles 1., c. 20, and more especWly by the 59th of Geo. 111., e. 12. But, after the scarcities of 1795 and 1901, the rapid demoralisation of the southern peasantry, under the system introduced by those Berkshire decrees, overturned all rules, and discon certed all principles. The 69th of Gee. 111., came 25 years too late. Peace had come, but not yet the victoriegof peace. The cheers for Waterloo still filled the air. The nobility and gentry were talking of their triumphs, and preserving their pheasants, leaving their estates to their bailiffs, and their poor to the overseers ; and the government to their party lowan. The result of all which natu rally was that abases accumulated in all departments. and in the poor-law department the caso of Cholesbury and others fast approaching it, brought matters to an issue, and then went forth the commission of inquiry and the sufficiently abused amendment act. I have said that that measure was a valuable one. A severe remedy was wanted, and it has stemmed the tide of abuses. But it was founded upon principles not adapted to the permanent conditions of the question. The country is now for the 43rd of Elisabeth again, and it will not be the first time that legislation has receded from rougher to smoother methods. But lam trespassing again in length. We will come to the particular pros and cons of the labour test in the neat letter.—Your obedient servant, TEM/NUS. Jen. 9. 74 II 73 10 73 3 71 7 70 _3 Jen. 16.1 J.. 21.1 Jan. 30.1 Feb. I. Feb. U. HADLEIOU, FIB. 22.-We had a thin attendance and a short supply of corn at market to-day, and a slow tale, at Is. per qr. abatement in grain of every description, but the drop was reluctantly completed, in Wheat end Barley especially. Hum., Ern. 23.-At this day's market there was a good su ply of English Wheat, much of it in bad condition ; and although farmers were generally unwilling sellers at the st udies, we must quote prices 3s. to 4s. lower than last week. ' nay* but little business done in foreign, we do not quote mere than Is. lower. The show of all kinds of spring corn messedingly limited, and held at full prices. Linseed and Limed Cakes the turn easier to buy, but more laminate dohs in the former article. Of Rapeseed we have se Mocha on sale, and of Rape . Cakes the market is bare. The following are the present prices of grain: Wheat, red, 62a. to 68s. ; new, 68s. to 725. • white, 70s. to 745.; new, 70s. to 74e. ; Dankic, 70e. to 76e. ' • Lower Baltic and Hamburg, 665. to 70s.

LEIGHTON BOZBAZD, FEB. 23.-At this day's market Wheat was in fair sup ply, and to effect sales a reduction of is. per load must have - been submitted to ; at the same time formers were not analous to prels sales. Barley about an averse supply, and quite 2a. to 3s. per qr. cheaper. Beans also a dull sale at Is. to 2s. per load decline. Maple Peas the same se last week. Wheat, per load of 5 bushels, 445. to 48s. ; Barley. per qr. lap., 481. to 565. ; Beans, 295. to 325. 6d. per load of 6 bushels; Peas, 311. to 35e. LrYzaroot., Fru. 23. Although the supplies of all kinds of human food, flowing about/sale from this and foreign countries into the various ports of Ireland, are stated to be inadequate to the demand; yet the present inactivity pre vailing in the English markets, with fine weather for spring culture, and the depression in London yesterday, produced a lowering effect upon the trade at the Opening of our Corn Ex change this morning ; subsequently, however, a fair amount of busing= was transacted in British and foreign Vacate at Id. only under the decline of Friday, reducing our quotations 3d. to 4d. per 701 b. below those named do this day week. English and Irish Flour, being scarce, ruled nominally as mentioned above ; and though, in anticipation of higher prices ere long, the large importers of American refused to sell totlay, several parcels of Western brands in second hands were sold at 41s. per barrel, being 3s. below the rates of Tumlay last. Bar- I Bu ll y and Malt, attracting lea attention than heretialbie, gave ' way Is. Arc, each • and 813.11111 Si well as Peas were is slow retitled it our reduced quotations. Oats and Oatmeal, wen also taken very sparingly by consumers, end hardly supported late prime.

This measure is important as regards Ireland, which had latterly received many cargoes of maize from Portuguese ports, especially from Valence. A. further decree hu been published admitting 12,000 moios (36,000 Engliah quarters) of foreign Wheat. in grainer Flour, at the some moderate duties payable by Wheat the produce of the kingdom. The preference is given to that which entered the Lisbon Customhouse before the 30th of June of the present year. But there will be room for a few more cargoes. The present price is enormous. • • - Vroo, Fre. 7.—A letter states that large quantitie. of maize were being shipped from tha(part for England. The price of that grain was from 12 to 14 reale the quarter, and ht was thought it would rise to 20 reals. There were a quan tity of English and other vouch in the bay ready to take in heights of this grain, of which nine million quarters have been exported from Galicia.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Half-past Two.—The stock market opened firm this morning, with Consols at 901 to 1, so that the proposed loan appeared rather to gain in favour from the belief in the facility with which it would be placed. But some recent sales have rather damped prices, and they now rale at 901 to 4. It is scarcely probable, however, that any material improve ment in stock values should take place until the loan has been adjudicated; it would clearly not be the interest of espitaliete repaint to offer for the loan, or any verde& d ft, that priers should rise, as in west ewe they infight nit be able to commend the souse admitypsees tleme; dry idea ant he to obtainer murk rook dr ilhdr mew; It Is *dr Wiled to tell their many at the dew* ruse, which ass oitly be accomplished by having their Meek in exchange at the cheapest. There fore it may be expected that exertiens will not be wanting to prevent any advance prejudicial to the loan opera tions contemplated, if indeed they will not be directed rather to depress the market. When the loan negotiation shall be completed, the interests el the contractors will be just in the reverse action. Their efforts will then be addressed to the improvement of prices. so as to be enabled to dispose of their new stock, or such portion as they may not be disposed to hold, at a beneficial rate of premium. Preparations are making for the settlement of the account in the Consol market to morrow. The course of the settlement will be materially influenced by the options, of which a very large amount are understood to be depending. They will be declared at the usual official time of si quarter before three, and until then the real state of the account must be a matter of uncertainty. It is expected to be one of the heaviest accounts which has occurred for a long while. Reduced Threes are quoted 91 to i. Three and-a-Quarter per Cents, 921 to 31.
