The South African lyristlen andli:estment Company Is esta blished with a view to ald in the furtherance of those public undertakings in the South African Colonies, including the (Ups of Good Hope, British IC and Natal, by which their re sources may be more fuUy developed: the result being, in the opinion of the Directors, certain to prove most satisfactory to those who embark their capital. Tha Company's operations will embrace three main object : lat. That of • lAnd and Irrigation Company 2od. That of a Public Works ;more especially a Lighting, Paving, and Water Company). and. That of a' rust Loan and investment Company. It has seemed wise lOtESTlfir7ctMiitOC.3o2bti;f; tlie - S - e . c . hjects in one Company, since, while all are entirely compatible, and can be very properly undertaken order one management, the heavy expenses of offices, directions, and *errant. for separate com panies will be thereby avoided. The South African Irrigation and Investment Company, while meeting the wants most keenly felt at the present time by the South African Colonies, cannot fall to realise to Its shareholders ample returns upon the capital. As a Land and Irrigation Company it will enter upon a most mouthing Geld of operation.. Lrge track of fertile soil along the rivers, and in the great karooe or plains of the country, are to be purchased at very low prices, which, by Irrigation Works, in dams, tanks, or waterleadings from rivers, may be converted, by no great outlay, into properties many times their original value. The government returns for lad% of the value of landed estates In these colonies, show that where by private enterprise Irrigation works have been constructed on farms, the enhance ment of value has been from five to ten fold, and as such re sults have been achieved by private enterprise, yet more satis factory result* may be looked for where labour is more organised, and scientific skill is brought to bear The Company will not only purchase lands with a view to re sale after the construction of Irrigation works, but will take con tracts for the construction of like works next se upon government and private lands. It Is known to be In contem plat ion in nession of the colonial parliament to introduce a b ill to facilitate the con struction of • series of government tanks, and to secure on the capital employed In such works on government land, a govern ment guarantee of at least six per cent. per annum. As a Public Works Company for the towns of South Africa, the prospect is equally inviting. There is scarcely a town of magnitude which is not now prepared to offer most liberal and remunerative terms to this Company, to become to It a consti tuted Water and Gas Company : and Port Elizabeth now the commercial capital of all South Fastens Africa) caused a bill to be introduced Into last session of the colonial parliament, charg ing the whole property of the town for CSD,OOO, to guarantee at least £5,000 per annum on outlay for works for water supply. The Directors feel that the present is a moat favourable opportunity for the establishment of a Company for Public Works, and they confidently anticipate that they will he able to complete arrange ments with the authorities at Port Elizabeth to become its Light ing. Paving, and Water Company, so as to ensures moat favour able commencement of betimes, and facilitate future operations. It may be mentioned that in towns where, by authority of local municipalities, water works have been constructed, they have proved sources of very large profits on the capital Invested, and the only Gas Company in operation in South Africa pays annual dividends varying from 15 to 20 per cent. As a Trust Company a very considerable and profitable bovi nes. can be done. It will be in position to offer very ample secu rity to constituents, and the following statement of selling prices of shares in existing Trust Companies will show what may be done order this bead: Name cd Company.

Money may be invested to almost any ex tent In flint or preference mortgages, of the amplest security, on landed property in the South African Colonies, at rates varying from 6to 11 per cent. per annum, thus yielding • large profit over the oat of money , in England ; and as it will be the object of the Directors to raise money on Debentures of the Company or otherwise. to he specially applied to loans on such first mon pm, it becomes matter of easy calculation that the profit: to be made hy the Company in ilus department of its buMnas be highly remunerative. . .

ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. An interesting meeting of this society was held on Monday evening ; Sir RODERICK L MORCEDION, presi dent, in the chair. The fleet paper, a letter from Dr. Livingstone, and his brother Mr. Charles Livinptone, on the Lake Nyasa' in Alvin, was read by Dr. Norton Shaw. After describing the settlement of the Oxford and Cambridge mission, the letter gave an account of the exploration of the Lake Nye's& They took several mounding., the greatest depth ob ta ined being 696 feat. The natives were, upon the whole, civil, and the population dense. The exploring party was obliged to turn back, although in sight of the Urge mountain manses to the north in which Dr. Livingstone thinks it probable the lake ends, in cooniquence of the land party having fled, the pro visions being expended, and the land desolated by the slave trading expeditions from the coast. The whole distance of about 600 miles, going and coming, was accomplished in about three months. The doctor and his party were about to carry a small steamer, in pieces, past the Murchisoo Cata ract, in order to navigate the lake, which was nearly 200 miles long, with a breadth of about 50 miles. The Second Paper, on the East African Expedition under Captain Spoke and Grant, was then read by Mr. Spottis. woode. It gave a statement of the difficulties the expedi tion had encountered in conaequeoce of a severe famine and the petty were carried on between the natives and Arabs. The last date was Kagwi, 30th September.lB6l, from which Owes Captain Spoke informs Sir Roderick Murchison that he hops in a day or two to push a-heed towards the Victoria Nyanza lake and the Nile. The third paper, by Mr. S. W. Baker, containing an sea count of his explorations in Abyssinia, was then read by Mr. F. Gallon. Mr. Baker's journey extended over a large portion of Abyssinia, principally along the course of the River Attars and its tributaries. He describes the whole of the adjacent country as eminently adapted for the growth of cotton of • superior quality, a sample of which was exhibited. Thehissitizirr stated theta's) peat object of Livingstone, DOW that he hat accomplished this journey of 300 miles along a series of cataracts, in a small boat, from the Zambesi to the Lake Nyeem., war to take up a small steamer which the government had placed at his disposal, with which be be lieved should be able to put a stop to the slave-trade from the country to the westward. Hordes of slaves are brought down and carried across the lake at certain passages, and theme transported to the coast, where they are kept it the' small recesses at the mouths of the rivers until the slave ships are ready to take them away. The consequence is that hundreds of these poor wretches perish ; anti Livingstone contends that with one or two email steamers he could do more to check the slave trade, by intercepting the passage across the lake, than could be accomplished by a great number of ships stationed off the coast at con siderable distances apart. The President, after men tioning that there was a communication from Mr. R. Moffat, suggesting the employment of camels for ex ploring in Southern Africa, read a letter from the Foreign office, communicating a despatch from the British Acting Consul-General at Alexandria, respecting the diffi. cultic' in which Mr. Petherick and his party were placed on the Whit* Nile ; and abating that on the pressing represen tations of Mr. Consul Saunders, the Eityptian government had sent orders to the governor of the Sudan to take such stops as might be necessary to render assistance to Mr. Petherick. The President then called attention to the. unexpected difficulties which had retarded the progress of Captains SpeJte and Grant, and expressed his convic tion that, should they ever succeed in arriving at the Lake Nyanza and reaching the northern end of it, there would remain a very short distance of ground to be ex plored, Mr. Petherick having already ascended the White Nile to a considerable distance towards Gonda. koro ; and there was at the present moment a party of three European ladies, who had gone up the river in a steamer from Kharttm, and possibly, if Captain Spoke ever reached his destination, theme adventurous ladies might be the first to meet him. He also mentioned that Captain Burton, her Majesty's consul at Fernando Po, had written to Dr. Norton Shaw, announcing his late assent of the Elephant Mountain. Colonel Riony, F. 11.0.8., of Zanzibar, briefly explained the cause of some of the difficulties which Captain Spoke's expedition had met with from famine, rebellion, acid the slave trade. By the last *deices a caravan of fifty men with goods had been sent to Spoke from Zanzibar ; but it would take at least four months before the supplies would reach him. Colonel Rigby then gave some interesting tails respecting the continuance of the slave trade ou the east coast of Africa. Colonel STEIN M.P., F.R.G.S., bore testimony to the courage and energy displayed by Captains Spike and Great, and said he felt assured that nothing bad been wanting on their part to carry out their exploration successfully, and that they had bean the victims of circumstances over which they had no control. Mr. Tn'u, F.R.G.S., a relative of the ladies mentioned by the President, said it was their intention originally to take up their residence for a time at Kartnm, and to make explorations in different directions ; but, not being success. ful in meeting with a suitable place of residence, they re solved upon hiring a .tamer, which had been left at Kbar aim by the Viceroy's brother, who was at one time Governor of the Suddn. From Kharttm they bad gone up the White Nile, and by the last accounts they were at the foot of Mount Homaya. intending to proceed to Goodokoro. They described the country of the White Nile SI being extremely beautiful, resembling in many respects the scenery at Virginia Water. They expressed themselves as perfectly safe and free from apprehension, the only drawback to their pleasure being the continual's:sof the slave trade. Mr. Withers, the manager of the Newport (Isle of Wight) branch of the London and County Bank, died suddenly yesterday. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE MISRION TO CRETRAI Arnica. —An enthusiastic meeting of undergraduates was held in Cambridge, on Teasley evening, for the adoption of steps in aid of the contemplated establishment of a boat service, for the purpose. of the mission, on the Zambesi and Elsire rivers, in fulfilment of an expressed wish (almost the List) of the late bishop. The meeting was held in Bwann's large Auction-room, which was crowded by boating members of the various colleges. The Rev. Thomas Field, late fellow and tutor of St. Joba's Colin', was voted to the chair. The Bishop Designate delivered a long 'lbws in relation to the mission generslly, more particularly to the object of the meeting. The Rev. Professor Kingsley also addressed the meeting at some length, after which it was announced that Mr. Brumby, of Jesus College, had consented to sot as president of the committee to be ap pointed to collect subscriptions from the boating men. ATTRIEPTED MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBARD.—Yesterday, at the Leeds Town Hall, a young man of 20, named Edward Johnson Wylde, a labourer, living in St. Mary'slane, was charged with attempting to murder his wife. About four mouths ago the prisoner married Ann, the daughter of Mr. Carey, of 4, Wesley terms, Accommodation-road, but the union appears to have taken place without the knowledge and against the wishes of her father, though the girl's mother was cognisant of the fact. After the ceremony the wife continued to reside with her parsons, her excuse being that her husband had not been able to provide a proper home for her. On Tuesday night, shortly after 8 o'clock, Wylde met his wife in East Field-street, sod asked her to wean pony him, and live with him. The young woman refused, saying that it was better that she should reside at pre. sent with her parents, until her husband could prov ide • suitable home for her. This reply appears to have exas perated the prisoner almost to frenzy, for he exclaimed, " Well, your father won't let me come to see you, and I am determined that no one else shall ;" and then he drew a pistol and fired it at the poor girl's head. By the explo- sion her bonnet was blown to pieces, and a portion of the charge razed the back part of her head, but fortunately without inflicting any sonata injury. Mr. Callan, surgeon, was immediately called in to attend her, and though she wee unable to appear in court ,yesterday, owiog to the shock to her system. it is anticipated she will be able to attend at the next hearing of the case. The husband absconded after his attack, but he was apprehended early yesterday morning by Police-coesteble Rigg. He steads remanded until the aid of Dwanbsr. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (astrrrs's 'mama's.) THE PRINCE OF WALES. AJACCIO, Nov. 26. The royal yacht Osborne, having on board the Prince of Wales, has put in here on account of bad weather. THE ITALIAN P, TURIN, Nov. 26, Eviornio. The whole of to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies was occupied by a speech from Signor Rattarsi upon the interior policy of the adminis tration. The Minister stated his object to be the concilia tion of the forces of the nation for the pursuance of great national ends, adding, however, that this did not imply that the government should abdicate its authority. " When Garibaldi," he said, " wished to elevate himself above the law, it became necessary to oppose him." Rattazzi thought that the administration had rendered great service to the country by proving to Europe that the Italian government could triumph over revolution. The Minister also defended the fusion of the Southern army and the dissolution of the Emanci pation Society, and replied to the accusations of the opposition. Cheers followed the conclusion al his speech. To-morrow the Minister for Foreign Affairs will speak upon the foreign policy of the Italian go vernment. ITALY. (raox oui OWN TIIMT, Nov. 23. The Rattazzi Ministry can no longer be sustained. The only question now is, how they can retire with more or less honour. The conservative party have strongly recommended moderation to the deputies of the Left in their common interest • for the ministry would be saved if the LeZt be came tur bulent and threatening. The desire and want of order would unite all other parties in upholding the Ministry, not for love of the men who compose it, but because they are now the government. It is feared, however, that the same prudence will not be displayed by Signor Niootera, whose words never pass unobserved like those of the deputy Ricciardi, who at the beginning of this discussion proposed a most unusual question, and always deals in jes;a. The ministerial is well aware of this, and therefore the Deputy Boggio, a lawyer by profession, and who took upon himself the duty of defend ing the ministry, endeavoured, in a speech of three hours duration, to excite personal feeling between the deputies of the Right and the Left ; but be failed to raise the desired tempest, for neither Right nor Left permitted themselves to be deceived by so palpable a ruse. For the same reason, some averments of Garibaldi which might oblige the conservative party to sustain the falling ministry are not yet published. In yesterday's sitting the Marquis Pepoli availed himself of the last five minutes to surprise the Chamber with a generous defence of M. Rat tazzi, and he won applause. But the secret of this applause principally consisted in this, that the Marquis Pepoli, while looking out for merit in M. Rattazzi, was obliged to render homage to the real deserts of Baron Ricasoli, to whose iron will it is owing that Tuscany is now a portion of the kingdom of Italy instead of a fief of Spain, Austria, or France. To-morrow will probably be heard the speeches of Baron Ricasoli and of the President of the Council. As there will be also the speeches o: four or five other ministers and of seven or eight more depu ties, the important decis'on may be expected in three or four days, that is to say, about Thursday, the 27th. Signor Buoncomparii will impose the following order of the day : The Chamber, per suaded that the present ministry does not possess the moral authority requisite for governing the State, passes to the order of the day." Up to the present time six members have spoken— fire against, namely, Buonoompagni, Massari, Mordini, De Sanctis, and De Cesare ; one only for the Ministry, namely, Boggio, who bad the frank ness to declare that he was well aware he was making himself unpopular by defending the Minis try, thereby acknowledging implicitly that the Rat tazzi Ministry does not possess the public confi dence, without which, in a representative govern ment, no ministry can stand. The consequence to be drawn from this is that if the vote of the Cham ber be adverse to Rattazzi, he will hardly dare to dissolve it, knowing that public opinion is against him. But sound logic does not always direct poli tical resolutions. . The ministerial papers threaten a dissolution, which would leave the Rattazzi ministry at least three months longer at the bead of affairs. These journals expect that by employing without scruple all means, lawful and unlawful, the Ministry would succeed in forming a chamber devoted to them ; and, if they did not succeed, that they would leave the country in such a state as would make it impos sible for anyother ministry to govern it. Although I have no high opinion of Signor ltattazzi, yet I do not believe that be would commit so disloyal an act, which may bring ruin on the Crown and country. Besides, Ido not believe that the Crown will allow him so much liberty of action, if the Parliament shall declare by a decided majo rity that it has no confidence in bin. Yesterday morning the funeral of Count Ginlini Della Porta, Senator, took place at Milan, and se /era] senators and deputies, without distinction of bourgeois or noble, went from Turin to pay the last respects to the lamented patriot. In a former letter I spoke of the qualities o: this exoellett Lom bard patrician. I will now add that before 1859 he came from Milan, in order to inducetbe Piedmontese governn'ent to take arms against Austria, a rising of the Milanese having been previously arranged. When war was drawing nigh, Count Giulini, who was in Piedmont giving and receiving intelligence from Count Cavour, wrote to the great statesman that now the hour of supreme trial was come for his country, he thought himself bound to abandon the secure haven of Piedmont, and to proceed to Milan in order to give the example of sacrifice. Count Cavour replied to him in the following noble terms : Most eeteeemed Sir and Friend,—The sentiment which inspires the letter you have written is so noble and so generous. that I can no longer insist on your remaining with us to fulfil the mission which you have accepted with so much devotion, and executed with so mach judgment sad intelligence.

Up to the 18th end 19th rounds it was the opinion that Mace was wring easily, and that he had the victory in bit hands. In the 19th it was ranched from him. The account gays, "Whoa Mace was in the middle of the ring, and was about to jump beck, King slung out his long right arm. and catching Master Jem • areas counter hit on the side of the nose sad left eye, knocked him dean off his legs. The shot was like ea Armstrong bolt on • trial target — a perfect anther. The ' thud ' was heard all over the ring." The effect of this stroke seemed to electrify en the spec tators, and to startle even King himself. Raised agate by his seconds, Mace stood forward once more. stantly dashing at him, King inflicted blows only lees ter i:fic than the previous one; and the champion was again knocked down. Virtually the fight was over, but Mace snuggled up for yet another effort He was as weak as • child, sad dropped from a mere pushing hit.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON TEN HULL AND SELBY RAIL WAT.—At an early hour yesterday morning, or some time on Tuesday evening, an accident of • very frightful cha racter occulted on the Hull and Selby Railway, at Wrestle, near Howden. At daybreak a party of platelayers were proceeding along the line to their work, when tie two men who were walking foremost were horrified at beholding the lifeless body of • man lying between the lines. On coming I to the spot where the unfortunate deceased lay, they dis covered that he was frightfully mutilated, a train having evidently peeled over his head. Death must have been in : stantrieens, as one side of the head was gone, and the p oor fellow's brains were toned scattered along the line.

PROTINTANT AND CATHOLIC FRATIZNIBATION.— A very interesting ceremony took place • few days since at Oberbetachdorf, in the department of the 13as.lthin. The inhabitants of the protestant perish of Oberhetechdort, which comprises four communes, celebrated the bOth anniversary of the appointment of H. Ningler, their rector. M. Ningler's father and grandfather had before him performed the duties of pastor at OberbeteMdorf, and since the year 1752—n0w more than a cedes, ago— three generations of the rme family have succeeded each other at the presbytery. A religiose' cere mony fiat took place at the church, which all the inhabitants at the parish, old sod young, attended. The church was handsomely deviated, end after divine service, and an appropriate set moo delivered by a friend of IL Ningler, the ancients of the palish presented their revered pastor with a magnificently-bound Bible as a token of their gratitude for his long services, and for his seal and devotion for the welfare of his parishioners. la the afternoon the mayots and members of the municipal councils of Ober and of Neider Betschdorf aenmbled at a dinner given in the communal ball of Oberbetachded in honour of M. Ningler. The catholic priest of Noiderbotnedert was invited, as well as the catholic and protestant teachers, and wee present at the fete, where the most cordial conviviality pre veiled. Mtn dinner the guests formed a cortege , and pro I coated to the grand hall of the mayoralty, where K. Feta:, the mayor of Oberbetecbdorf, who pretense the catholic religion, addressed M. Ningler in very complimentary terms. He particularly thanked the venerable pastor for having, with untiring zeal during his long ministry, elm ..ed himself to maintain religious harmony among the various sects in his parish, in which he had so fortu nately succeeded. M. ?Jingler, who was nearly over come by his feelings, mid, in reply, that he only followed the example of his father and grandfather.who in their time lived on terms of the most cordial fraternity with the ministers of the catholio worship. He added that he esteemed him self happy to be able to state publicly that his task had been rendered easy to him by the feelings . of personal . kindness and the affable and conciliatory bearing which be had always found among the catholic ecclesiastics sod inks bitaata, and who had all laboured in common for the esteb liehment of peace and conoonL A silver vase was then pre sented to the worthy old man as a mourn/ of that happy day, which will become remarkable In the annals of the immune of Oberbetachdorf, and which must have produced an excellent impression both on the protestant tied catholic poelation.

H. LATAID. THE ZEE DR. TEMPLE ON THE LANCASHIRE DISTRESS. The Rev. Dr. Temple, of Rugby, in company with two other friends, lately visited Lancashire, and the former rev. gentleman published the impression produced on his mind. The friends visited, either jointly or separately, Manches ter, Stockport, Prance, Blackburn , and Burnley, mimede careful inquiries into the system of relief adopted over the whole comity. " My first impression," says Dv. Temple, e p er , ta be i t :ll surprise to lied the distress much lees than I had ex I visited many of those who are now receiving :elid— e:Me accompanied by a relief committee's visitor; some quite aloes. I only found one house without a tolerable fire. I Mew signs of hunger, bin none et starvation ; I saw no here feet ; I saw nothing at all approaching to the misery of the Irish famine nor to that which was to be seen in Coventry two years ago. A Toy little inquiry, however, revealed that thin appearance was doe, not to the smallness of the distress. but to the therm& efficiency of the system of relief. The have parted with everything that could be parted people vale,. Almost all their bedding, all extra clothing, all spare furniture, all past savings —all have been gradually absorbed. They are now standing ou the 'dire of • precipice from which they axe only held back by the strong arm of • more complete organisation to aid them than I believe any other county in Eagiand could have produced. The centre of this organisation is the Executive Committee at Man cheaor. This committee meets every Monday, and obtains as full reports as it is possible to get, not only of the needs of each of the distressed towns, but oldie supplies provided, either from local or other sources, to meet those needs. Upon these reports Use committee makes its grants, often accompanying them with suggestions or requ;remente. The grants are made in every in stance to local committees who have undertaken the duty of relieving the Warmed iu their own locality." To the county organisation, and, above all to the Executive Committee it is due that the administra- WO of relief la at once efficient and just, and that oo one from one end of the county to the other is in real deism of dying for lack of food. "Most certainly anyone who wishes to give, and wishes that his money should be wisely sod efficiently used, should send it to the Central Com mittee at Manchester." The poor people seemed to feel that all was being done for them that could be done. " Many of them were dejected, indeed almost prostrate. Many showed in their facies the terrible struggle through which they had posed before mounting to accept relief. One, a decent shopkeeper, showed me his books to prove that his whole profits for a week had only been fiel., and asked lif I thought be bad done very wrong to come on the committee. Another spoke cheer. fully. as he hoped that an Englishman might feel morti fied in accepting charity to save his family from starving but while he spoke be turned pale, a spurn crossed hie face, and be rose suddenly and left the room, while his wife burst into taus. Everywhere I met the marks of terrible mental suffering. But nowhere did I find any complaint against the upper classes, soy sense of injustice, or of having been hardly used. Never was there seen a nobler simplicity of endurance. We cannot allow thee* to Bursa We must continue to send them help. h the motley now subscribed is well in front of the im iate need, it must not be forgotten that it flows rapidly out; as to leave the relief committees withons money for • week would inevitably starve hundreds. To leave them without money for a month would renew the honors of the Irish famine." Dr. Temple believes it would be ru;n to the smaller rate payers to strain the rates much farther. The mill owners as a body are doing as much as ever could be expected of them, but the lead:mem have not appreciated the greatness of the need. "If the riches of the millowoer are liable to the demand of the operatives, much more are those of the landowner; and this terrible crisis has seriously damaged the foe mar, while it has left the latter Omen, orisesthed. If every landowner in Lancashire would raleulate what be would have to pay if • rate of 2s. 6d. weselevied. not on occupiera b ut on o wners throughout the county, and make that sum his contribution. Lancashire would have no need to talk of • grant frem the consolidated fund. That the property of the county is well ahie to bear the burden there cannot be the slightest doubt. If parliament is to interfere, the interference should consist In putting the burden on the right shoulders, not in tranderring it to the shoulders of the nation. But I feel tolerably confident that the meeting next week will render interfersoos needless. A county which has shown such admirable urn in sehninis. tering Coeds entrusted to its msnagemeat is not likely to be unwilling to make the needful sacrifices towards raising its share of such funds; and more than its share England will not ask it to do."
