The boundaries of our colonies have been ex tended in proportion to the increasing numbers and wealth of the colonists. The boundaries of our dependencies have been extended by the fleece pity of subjecting turbulent and ambitious native chiefs to Bntish auzerainte as the only means of pre serving peace. Both elements axe at work in the Cape colony to render the continuous and indefinite enlargement of its boundaries unavoidable. Already the herds and flocks of the 'simian; are becoming so num erous as to render the acquisition of wider pastures inevitable; and Chars, MACOMO, and the rest, can never be rendered innocuous to the colonists but by bringing them to acknowledge the sovereignty of the British crown. Their present unprovoked predatory inroads warrant the exaction of such submission from them on the part of the British government. The present aggressors are the leading chiefs of the tribes which occupy the territory intervening between the Albany and Somerset districts on the west and Natal on the east. This is no subject for dogmatism, but it does appear advisable that the intermediate territory should be in ' isorporated into the colony. If the chiefs who hold it are left to fancy themselves independent, they will, as soon as the impression of any chastisement which they 1 1 may now receive begins to fade, recommence. aggres miens both on Natal an d Albany. They will be a s trongly-Posted horde of moss-troopors, able at any time to cut off the land c ommunication between the two settlements . The Albany districts are, and Natal will be, essentially a British settle ment ; the old Cape districts retain many traces of their Dutch origin. The Anglo-Dutch colony and the English colonies require different modes of admi nistration. The expense of twolieutenant-governors (one in the Albany district and one at Natal) will be greater than the expense of one governor for the English set tlements and the intervening t err itory massed into one colony. Experience, too, has shown that the practice of making the acting governors of one or more colonies dependent on the governor of another (as in the case of the Windward and the Lecwardlslands in the West Indies, and Port Phil li p in Australia), has uniformly been productive of bad or inefficient government. All these considerations are in favour of incorporating the country between Albany and Natal into the British territory, and erecting our dominions at the Cape . into two colonies: the one comprehending the old provinces as far east as the twenty-fifth degree of east longitude (nearly the meridian of the mouth of the Gamtoos r iver); the other extending f tha rom t meridian to the most eastern point of Natal, and from the seacoast to the sources of the Orange river.

THE troubled state of affairs at the Cape of Good Hope cannot present itself to any one's attention, without at once striking forth the involuntary ejacu lation of, 'What is Sir HENRY PoTriNGER about? What is the cause of his delay? Ile has been long since appointed governor of the colony. The salary and dignity being small—the former not more than 5,0001. a-year—both were doubled by his nomination as High Commissioner. Yet the new governor stirs no t. Where is the hitch ? Is it, as reported, that being merely a Company's officer, there are objections to his commanding the high and puissant heroes of the line? Such absurdities as this, w hich have so p often roved most prudicial to her Mess service, ought to be cut throu ej ministerial and abolished by ministerial firmness and good sense. Whatever may be the cause of Sir HENRY'S loitering in this country, it must, in the actual cir cumstances of the colony entrusted to his care, be most mischievous. The latest accounts from the Cape afford no greater prospect of settlement than those, which brought the first intelligence of the Kaffir irruption. The savage intruders were still prosecuting their forays with unchecked success and impunity. The retaliatory inroads into Kaffirland had been productive of nothing but great losses in horses and cattle. A con siderable proportion of the burgher levies had returned to their homes in disgust. The Governor, deserted by Sir ANDRIES STOCKENSTROM and Colonel HARE, was preparing for fresh incursions into the country of CREILI, falsely and prematurely announced to have been pacified. In the present imperfect state of information it is impossible to say who is to blame for this. It may be that the Governor, as asserted in a communication relating to the affairs of the Cape which we this day publish, has been thwarted by persons in office under him. It may be that he himself lacks the energy and power of combination required to put down the Kaffir disturbances. But be the cause what it may, the procrastination of the new Governor must be de trimental. By this time, Sir PEREGRINE MAITLAND is aware that he is superseded; will he, while look ing daily for the arrival of his successor, venture upon any comprehensive or energetic operations ? Eery hour of Sir HENRY PUTTINGER'S di n vading adds to v the impunity and confidence of the marauders. In one respect the intelligence last received from the colony is satisfactory. From the preparations making to sends commando into Cuziti's country, and from the moody retirement of Sir AKDRIES STOCK - EKSTROM, it seems pretty certain that the fudge treaty with that chief has not been sanctioned by the gover nor. It really is time that the farce of treating with the heads of savage clans in the name of the British crown, as if they were its equals, should cease to be repeated. These leaders do n ot possess enough of power over the warriors and elders of their tribes to enable them to keep the treaties, nor are their own notions of civil government and international relations sufficiently developed to enable them to comprehend the full force of such contracts. They are rendered vain, presumptuous, and ungovernable by being treated as equals of civilised sovereigns. The only relations that can exist between uncivilised tribes and a civilised government are subjection or armed sur veillance. To secure the frontier of the colony, Sir ANDRIES STOCKENSTROM proposed to make CREILI sovereign (according to our European notions) over all the other Kaffir chiefs, and then to conclude a treaty with him. How long would it re quire to teach CREILI, his nobles and commons, the me aning of the relations which the words "sovereign" and " subject" convey at once to a European ? How long would it take to inspire them with that habi tual, almost mechanical obedience to laws and institu tions which civilised Europeans begin to acquire from their cradles ? The scheme is almost too extravagant for a political romance. And if its self-evident absur dity be not enough, it has been tried in New Zea land; it was tried in the Cape Colony with lIDITZA ; and in both cases with disastrous consequences. This country has two kinds of dependencies : its colonies being communities of civilised Englishmen who have gone out from the parent state and organised civil society, either where there were few or no natives, marauder In one • the color . • making I from the ENSTRON with the nor.

Every public man is fully aware how exceedingly vulnerable Austria is, no t merely to the arms of France, but to her ideas, and to any fresh and hostile impulse that France may please to give to those ideas. All know the regime by which Austria holds its own portion of Italy, and weighs upon the rest. How easy it would be for France to overthrow that regime, enable the independent states of Italy to shake off the Aus trian incubus altogether, and thus render Austrian rule untenable even Lombardy,is so evident, that no one can suppose that Austria durst provoke France in the manner she has done, unless assured before hand that France would not seriously resent it. From almost the earliest period o Louis PHILIPPE'S reign that mona rch has coquetted wit Austria, and has shown repeated readiness to pro pitiate Prince MErrEßNten with the offering, which Prince METTERNICH most prizes—the freedom of young . and rising nations. It was for the sake of propitiating Austria that the French King repudiated the Liberals of Spain, sacrificed the Liberals of Greece, and refused any cordial entente with England in the administration and constitutional arrangement of those countries. Spain, too free, would revo lutionize Italy ; Greece, too free, would show free institutions to be possible in the East of Europe. A great exception to the French policy of obse quiousness to Austria occurred lately in the election of a liberal Pope, and in the progressive reformation of the Roman States. This - has gone farther, per haps, than the King of the FRENCH intended, his purpose being rather to extend the sphere of his own influence and become master of the Papal Govern ment, a necessary preliminary, by the bye, to his pur posed Spanish marriages. But the steps necessary to this have shaken Italy from one end to the other. A pacific revolution is in progress in the Roman States, and this, instead of exciting opposition in the other monarchies of the Italian peninsula, has on the contrary been hailed and welcomed by them. The Court of Naples has shown neither terror nor hostility. That of Piedmont, considered to be buried in abao lutism, has actually burst its cerements ; and the King of the SARDINIANS has congratulated the new Pope on his political and commercial liberalism. It is need less to add, that France, by moderately fanning the flame of this liberal tendency of the Italian courts, which evidently sigh for independence from Austria, would rout and overthrow the dictatorship of NIETTER- Incu, or, at least, confine it to the foot of the Alps. France has but to say the word, and Italy is hers in opinion. Her propaganda could now make a more certain conquest of it, than ever was achieved by the arms of NAPOLEON. Here, then, is retaliation for Cracow ; here, then, is a victory worthy of the NAPOLEON of Peace; a victory demanding neither equipment of fleets, nor augmentation of armies; one, too, which France may achieve and enjoy alone, needing no entente eordiak, no joint notes or action with England, or with any other power, being nothing more than the natural development and progress of that war of ideas—of those conquests of civilization, which the French boast to be their mission, and which form, certainly, l i the truest tactics, the most formidable campaign, that I the liberalism of the west can undertake against the despotism of the cast. We shall look to these movements in Italy with considerable interest and anxiety. The ultra-abso lutists in that country are leagued, are active, are conspiring. The Austrians alone afford them every encouragement, and Prince 'METTERNICH is employing his agents and intrigues to put down liberalism in Italy as zealously . as France has employed hers to put down liberalism in Spain. The POPE alone cannot resist that ret rog rade impulse, unless strongly and zea lously supported. France is fully able to give that support. But will she ? Hitherto the reforms in the Roman states have been chiefly administrative. The amelioration has been of that kind, which an empire feels in passing from a dull despot to an enlightened one. The change is most beneficial for the present, but promises little for the future. In order to establish the improve ment, and render it permanent, it would be necessary to give institutions, at least municipal institutions, to the cities of the, Romagna. But here w e begin to doubt the Frnch king, who seems to favour despotism with liberal leanings, a despotism° illustrado, but who seems to abhor charters and insti tutions, especially municipal institutions. In fact, the French have proscribed those elements of liberty in all the countries under their influence. Yet without these, nothing can be done for the Romagna. The anti-liberalism of the French Court in Spain, and li n Greece, may, however, be accounted for by its desire I to combat the influence of England, the sincerity of I which is more trusted by the liberals of those countries. In Italy English efforts or in fluences have not intruded. France has, therefore, a fair and open field for her efforts, with nothing to oppose but the despotism of Austria and the bigotry of the priesthood. If she follows on in that path she will far more than avenge the absorption of Cracow. She will extend the liberal empire and influence of the west; she will be making progress in her favourite scheme of converting the Mediterranean into a " French lake," and this will be done, in a way which will call forth the admiration, and not the jealousy, of England. Let France but sincerely struggle to extend political and commercial freedom, and the two countries will infallibly have the reality of an alliance and an entente cordiale, without the empty and too often deceptive phrases. If the aims of France be of this high, liberal, and lofty kind, no minister here durst gainsay them. We expect, however, the contrary of this. From all we know of the French Court and Cabinet, we cannot expect any more disinterested or liberal feeling at Rome than in Madrid. We do not expect that a Prince who offered to sacrce the Quadruple Alli ance to Austria, and who did sacre it to family interest, will ever have the sincerity or courage to free Italy in Austrian despite. Whatever of liberal has been achieved at Rome by French infinenon will, we fear, merely be considered as something to sacri fice for Austrian support. The novel resent ment for Cracow is a transparent veil, an idle pretence, which will deceive no me, not even the French mob. Its reality will soon be tested by French policy in Italy. And we greatly fear, that Count FLABAUT has already artange at Vienna, the mutual sacrifice of Rome and Cracow, as the secret c onditions o f the MoNtrut si ER marriage. Tan tendency of all modern improvements in agriculture is towardathat approximation to certainty, winch has been attained in nearly all other businesses. By drainage and better calture we shall at once improve the soil and correct the climate of this coun try, render the farmer, to an extent formerly thought impossible, independent of seasons, and reduce the business of husbandry to one of skill and calculation. The occasional prevalence of incendiary fires in the rural districts, for many y e ars past, has rendered the practice of insuring farming stock and crops against fire practically universal. No farmer who expects to die out of the workhouse at this time permits his live and dead stock to remain uninsured against fire. Com panies, too, have been established to insure grow ing crops against hailstorms and similar visitations, which sometimes and in some places have, on the eve of harvest, converted the prospect cf plenty and comfort into wide-spread misery and desolation. The principle of life assurance, moreover, by which the farmer, as well as other men of basisess, can secure to his family some pecuniary alleviation, if not a compensation for the loss throigh death of his own exertions, has recently been applied to live stock. And for very many reasons the practice of protecting live stock aipinst loss by disease or accident, merits the attention of every farmer. Its adoption, partial as it may be at present, affords evi dence of the gradual approach made by husbandry towards some economical and commercial principles. It marks the transition from empiricism in farming towards practical science applied to agriculture. Our attention has just now been drawn to this topic, from having been invited b y a correspondent to enter with him pell-mell into a contest on behalf of a cattle insurance company, established upon the principle of a large proprietary with paid-up capital, against a rival association framed upon the principle of mutual insurance. Our correspondent must excuse us if we respectfully decline to embark it any such conflict. We do not seek to arbitrate in such strife. We are satisfied with the existence of the com petition, firmly believing that there is ample room and verge enough for both associations, and shall content ourselves with leaving each agriculturist to discover for himself which of the rival companies offers terms most meet for his acceptance. But we shall avail ourselves of some of the regula tions common to both companies—necessary, in fact, to the existence of any such establishment—for the purpose of showing the policy of insuring stock, and of its tendency to give the prudent, self-depeudent farmer an advantage over his more careless neigh bour. Such associations have long existed in France and Belgium, but they are new in this country, the oldest of the associations not being, we believe, of more than three or four years standing. The objects of insurance are horses of various classes, cattle, sheep, and pigs ; also, respectively ranged in different classes, the rate of premium ranges from f t to 6 per cent., and certain risks, such as that of dairy cows in towns, which are deemed hazardous, are to be made the subject of special contract. We do not profess to have any data whereby we can test the reasonableness or otherwise of the rates of premium, but probably, as happened with the earlier life insurance companies, the cattle insurance companies have taken care to rate their premiums high enough to cover all risks, and the risk arising from imperfect tables of disease and accident besides. If they be too high, it is probable that a wholesome competition will soon reduce them. One of the first and most obvious benefits to be derived from such associations, will be the gradual formation of accurate calculations of the expectation of life and disease amongst our live stock ; and the keen eyes of the directors, stimulated by self-interest, will soon detect and mark by their rates of premium, the localities and conditions most and least conducive to animal health. If farmers in one district, or adopting one system, can only in sure their live stock at a premium of five or six per ce nt., while others in another d istrict, or under a` dif ferent plan, can effect the same provident object at three or four per cent., the why and the wherefore of the higher rates of premium will inevitably lead to an examination of local causes of disease, and the disuse of plans of treatment so practically shown to be un thrifty. In both cases improvement and increased certainty in estimating the result of a given outlay of capital in farming, will be the result. Such may be said to be the general effect of the operations of cattle insurance societies. But they will act still more strongly to improve the management of individual farmers. In the first place, persons of respectability—solicitors and so forth—are appointed local agents, who are instructed " to be careful not to send any proposal of a doubtful character;" so that a farmer notorious for want of care with his stock would be at once rejected. In dependently of the direct losses from bad management of stock, the negligent stock-master would find him self out of the pale of insurance against accidental or epidemical contingencies. Here there is at once a premium upon prudence and a business-like cha racter, the value of which is fully understood in all trades except that of husbandry. Then there are in spectors appointed in every district, and it forms one of the conditions of insurance, that in case of any serious illness or accident occuring amongst insured cattle, immediate notice must be given to the district inspector, who will visit the case, and if contagion be feared, he will order the deceased animal to be separated from the rest of the stock ; and the owner is bound to keep it so separated until it recovers or dies. Again, the owner is bound to pay attention to the medical treatment of his stock," under pain of for feiting his insurance." But - if the inspector thinks that the animals are neglected or improperly treated, he may give such orders for additional advice or variation of treatment as may appear advisable, and such orders must be complied with. So, again, we find ire the rules of one of the companies the follow ing, for the enforcement of that care which every prudent man bestows on h is own stock, but which is too much neglected with large classes of farmers. All claim took pe piny be forfeited if gi verson whose Mock is prtby the cohall neglect to the notices graratiberett buytiothneorldriteut'o;istttrki,normssehaVreilirse tra death , ir with I orders of the inspector as to slaughtering or separating, and keeping separated until ite recovery, any diseased animal from the remainder of the stock; or shall emit or refuse to comply with any reasonable request of the inspector as to the food, treatment, or shelter of any sick animal ; or shall omit or refuse to keep clean and ventilated the stabling, stalls, or sheds where.' nick sick amnia! may be confined, after being requested so to do ; ur lf lt eau be elluern iol that ent th drleie death of the animal occurred through neglect, blows, or hyrng, or raring, or from excessive fatigue caused by the owner or hie servants, or by those in his employ, or waer his control. Here, then, we find, that when a farmer becomes insured against contingent losses, he must take care, in order that hie insurance may be avail able in time of need, that his usual and ordinary treatment of his stock is judicious and careful. But, perhaps , the most valuable regulation by which these societies will improve the management of stock, is that which requires " that a consulting veterinary surgeon, being a graduate of the colleges of London or Edinburgh, or more than one, if required, be appointed to each agent's district" Within our own recollection the treatment of horses, cattle, and stock of all kinds has wonderfully improved, especially in casesof accident and disease, wit' ch i s entirely to beattri buted to the improved education of the professors of veterinary science. No careful stockmaster will permit a . scrious case of disease to remain unattended by avete nnary surgeon, and the occasional attendance of such a person, even where no seriouscomplaint exists, is a mea sure of wise precaution. Not only are the men who attend upon the stock improved by observing the di rections and operations of a man of competent know ledge and skill, but incipient disease is often detected by the practised eye of the medical man, which might, but for preventive means, have become serious. Another advantage from such insurances, is, that the farmer becomes thereby more independent. He is bated remission breath; of re e n ra t ving on not obliged, in the event of loss amongst h is stock , to his g hon o ur's o before h s land l ord indulgence, or with" account of such loss. This is no slight good. It is another help to the independence of the tenant-farmer, which is the only foundation for the advancement of lusbandry. The Paris papers of Friday express their sentiments on the refusal of England to consent to a joint pro test in the matter of Cracow. The mimaterialists affect chagrin.

It was announced that 500,000 copies of it would be put in circulation, and that it would be translated into all the languages of Europe : TUE DEROCEACY OTCE TO TEE DEMOCRAC Y OF EUROPE. The last wreck of a vast empire, which for ages formed a barrier of civilisation, menaced by tilusaulman barbarism ; a single spot spared firom the odious rapine of three powers, accomplices in the destruction of a great people, still recalled its memory, like those funereal creases erected in places where a murder has been perpetrated. This wreck has just disappeared, this cram the murderers have overturned. In stead of the Polish flag, which, under the guarantee of the most solemn treaties, floated upon the walls of Cracow, Austria, that same Austria which owed to Poland her safety in an extreme danger, has substituted his own, encouraged to the crime hy the impunity of a ssistance , and by one of those bargains for mutual which brigands make in the depths of their caverns. All the clauses of the treaty of Vienna bad already been in solently violated by Russia. In concert with her allies, and fur their common object, she bad already almost consummated the abolition of Polish nationality. And by what means, what violence', and what crimes was this consummation effected' ' Deeds, such as history can offer no other example of, and wkich, perhaps, hereafter, she will refuse even to believe ! To recall even briefly those infernal scenes with which three sovereigns have frightened mankind, would lead us far be yond the limits of this document. It would be necessary to follow executioners th r ough scenes of carnage perpetrated in the silent fortresses of Prussia, in the dark dungeons of Au tria in the deserts and mines of Siheria, upon publsic places transformed into slaughter-houses ; into the homes of each family weeping the exile or th e death e death of those dearest to them ; weeping for country and their religion, and forced to renounce the very language of their ancestors. It would be necessary to show a Government which dues to call itself ChrLstian,ureing one entire class of its subjects to the massacre of another class, without distinction of age or sex, by the offer of an infamous bribe, after having first deceived and brutified them. It would be necessary to paint fire and murder spread over a whule country which was concerted, by the premeditated deign of its Government, into one immense tomb. It would be necessary to relate how among those who have survived this universal smassination, are found more than three hundred miserable little creatures under three years t old, incapable of telling who they are,— withou father, without mother, without known relative, the foundlings of blood. The French democracy believes it to be its duty to protest against the se execrable crimes ; to protest against all the acts of which the avowed object has been the ' final destruction of Poland ; to efface the very name of this people, so glorious and so unfortunate, from the map of Europe. The French democracy believes it to be its duty to call for similar protestations from all those who think that nations ought not to be abandoned as the prey of violence, who, out of France, share the sacred principles of its revolution of all those, in a word, who are animated by a sense of jus tice and humanity.

You have yourselves torn these tr eaties. Positive law exists no longer. As to natural law, that impresetiptible right which secures to each people as to each individual its pro per existence, you proclaimed that you discard it. , The right of force is the only one th it you acknowledge. Let force then decide between you and us. In the mad pride of your material power, which we fear not, because we trust in another power—in the power of true right and of duty—you di dare war on all nations, on society itself, which exists only in virtue of duty and of right. Be it so' we accept this war. War on conditions which make it holy is victory for us. Were it otherwise God would not be God! Doubtless there will be martyrers se nt but be well assured that after the struggle you will pr yourselves not proudly I surrounded by your bloody assistants, but before the solemn tribunal of social justice as upright as it is inexorable. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, and there also I w ill be the pure joy which the assurance of a happy future will excite in the heart of nations. Democrats of all coun tries, brothers uniting the same faith with the same hope, henceforward adopt unity of action, which will neither be superseded nor relaxed. Elevate in the midst of subjugated Europe the standard of its emancipation! Lot the nations start up at the signal, and b one unanimous effort shake off the chains with which he y are loaded. The hour is some for each to fulfil its duty. To-day the combat—to-morrow the triumph : up, then, all ! La Presse contradicts the report circulated during the early part of last week respecting conferences between Count Mole and the King, stating that the former has in fact been absent from Paris. A Genevese journal says that Austria has de mended from the Papal government the amount of a debt contracted during the Neapolitan war, threaten ing, if it be not paid immediately, to occupy Ferrara and Ancona. The same journal states that a secret society has been formed in the Pontifical states under the influence of Austria, to oppose the government of Pius IX. We have received the Madrid journals with our private correspondence of the 21st instant. Although nothing positive had been ascertained as to the reported entry of Cabrera into Spain, the in tended movements of the Carlists gave rise to more serious conversation. El Heraldo publishes letters from London, which [peak of great preparations made by the Carlists. Among other things, they speak of 3,000 infantry, and 1,500 cavalry uniforms. FRANCE.—PEPAECUTION Or TILE NESTORIAN CHRISTIANS IN ASIA MINOR.—The Presge says:—" We lately spoke of the cruel persecutions which the Nestorian Christians of Asia Minor have suffered from the Kurds. We learn with satisfaction that the ambassador of Fr mice at Con stantinople has warmly espoused the defence of the Nemo rians- An energetic note, addressed to the divan, has had the effect of hastening the preparations for the expedition which the Porte directs against Bader-Khan -Bey, the chief of the Kurds." SPAIN.—A Madrid letter of the 20th says: "The Progressists are making great exertions to return members to the new Cortes, but it does not appear that they have much hope of being able to add materially to their strength in the Chamber. It is thought, however, that the non ministerial Moderados will be much more numerous than in the last Cortes. The Queen gave a grand ball last night on the occasion of her file. Her Majesty danced a great deal, and appeared to be very animated. The party did not break up until four in the morning. The day before yesterday there was what is called a family concert at the palace. The Queen sang several of the airs of Rossini, Bellim, and Verdi, and performed with M. Albenir a piece of music on the piano. The Queen-Mother also took part in the concert. The French Ambassador here has opened a subscription ol the French residents in aid of the fund for the relief of the sufferers by the inundations of the Loire." ITALY.--A letter from Bologna, of Nov. 18, says : " Patrols et the citizens have been organised to the number of 100, each composed of twelve individuals. Letters from Rome state that the Pope, on the occasion of the posseno, has accorded a considerable diminution of punishment to the political offender. who had been kept in prison under the pretext of having attacked the public force. Condemnations to the galleys for life have been reduced to three years ; for twenty years to one; and for fifteen years to six months. The tribunals opposed this measure, but the Pope persisted." - • SWITZERLAND. —The Message). des Suisse', of Lucerne, states that the Sec, etary of State of that canton has concluded at Turin a treaty with the Sardinian govern ment, for the supply of muskets to Lucerne to the amount of 40,000 fr. It is stated in a letter from Zurich, that the government of Lucerne had resolved on raising openly a very huge force, with a view of keeping the Liberal cantons in check, but that several foreign diplomatists had observed that this measure would look like a provocation, and would there fore give displeasure to the Great Powers. In consequence of this communication, it has been decided, adds the letter, that secrecy shall be observed in the mode of increasing the forces of that canton. GERMANY.—VIESSA, Nor. 19.—1 t is reported that an eminent statesman, Count Kolowrath, intends send ing in his resignation, and retiring to the baths of Pisa. The emission of treasury-bills, at 3 per cent., has com menced at Prague, and is to be adopted at all the principal towns in Austria. AFFAIRS OF CRACOW. The news of the incor poration of Cracow to Austria reached Posen on the 19th inst., and came like a thunderbolt upon the Poles, who never supposed that the three powers dared have taken such a step, without the sanction of France and England. Groups formed in the streets, conversing on the all-engros sing subject. The Poles still wish to doubt the reality of the fact ; they still count on France and England, some of them even nourish the hope that England and France will take up arms for the re-establishment of the independence of Cracow. The incorporation is regarded as a finishing stroke to Poland.-1 he Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung says:—" The great powers of the north have replied to the marriage of the Duke of Montpensier with the Infanta of Spain, by the marriage of the Duke of Bordeaux, and the incorporation of Cracow to Galicia." LIBERALITY OF THE EMPEROR OF RESSIA.—We read in the Post Alive Gazette of Frankfort, under the head of Vienna, 19th instant, " The Emperor Nicholas has shown Pouch disinterestedness in the Polish question. Oue of his Ministers said to the Austrian Government, ' The Emperor gives rill a carte blanche as regards Cracow : do what you please.'" , The Ni..ilatherg. Correspondent Mates that a mari time aseriellim lyee been concluded between Austria and the Statief Meskilellserg Schwerin. A deplorable accident took place on the Austrian Northern Railway oa the 17th instant. The 9 o'clock even ing train ran into two baggage vans at the station of Mar set, and three persons were killed by the shock. CHINA.—TITE ENGLISII AND Tne ENGLISH TisADE.—At a recent meeting of the Asiatic Society, the secretary read some extracts from a letter written by the Rev. C. Outalaff, who had accompanied Sir John Davis, the Governor of Hong Kong, in a tour of some of the northern pro vinces of China. In Chusan, Mr. G titzlaff visited most of the houses and families at and near Ting-hae, the capital ; and he bears deci.ive testimony to the benevolent conduct of the English towards the natives during their occupation of the island, and to the grateful feelings of the Chinese there towards us. Our de parture from thence is deeply regretted by all classes of the peiple. At Shing-hat he says the trade is flourishing, and im ports and exports are inc reasin g . At Ningpo nothing is done. At Foo-chou not one Englishman resides, the except at the consulate, &circumstance much to be regretted, as place is the emporium of the black tea country. Amoy is getting on fairly ; but the climate is very unhealthy. Mr. Outzlatf expresses himself with much energy relative to the bad feeling at Canton against foreigners and to the danger to which they are exposed by the hoetility 54 the population. He ad verts to the necessity of our having permanent resident at the capital. The Hong Kong trade is not flourishing, but the town increases in size and population, and is superior to Macao. Much toleration is accorded by the Chinese to the Christian religion. Several Chinese remarkable for their eloquence are preaching the Gospel in many parts of the empire. The number of Roman-Catholic missionaries in the country is about eighty. THE RIVER PLATE.—The Constitutionnel of Friday contains the following paragraph :—" A ministerial journal announces this morning that M. Deffandis will cer tainly be disavowed, and be obliged to sign the treaty pre pared by Mr. Hood ; a treaty of which we have already made known the spirit and the principal clauses." LIVERPOOL, Nov. 28.—We are informed that our government has united with the French Cabinet in approval of Mr. Hood's preposition to terminate the difficulties of the River Plate. We may consequently anticipate a speedy pacification of the affairs of the Argentine and Oriental republics. COLONIAL. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We are indebted for the following extract of a letter from Graham's Town to Mr. T. C. Campbell, who adds the following information further illustrative of the tlocu meet :—" My correspondent is a settler of some twelve or fourteen years' standing, and intimately acquainted with every particular entitled to have weight in the formation of his opinion. lie appears to have full confidence in the pre sent governor, but represents him as checked and thwarted by the Deputy Quartermaster-General, who is said to be equally disliked by English and Dutch, military the men the civilians, and to have done all in h is p ower to p aralyse energies of the Burgher forces. The state of affairs in the Ca Colony is most lamentable, and demands immediate attention sea remedial measures at the hands of govern ment." With these remarks of Mr. C., we submit the letter to the judgment of our readers : Gasnaa's Town, Seer. 29.—After five months' living on rations in a camp formed for patrolling the country, and bushing it, 1) has come Into town for me to equip him for a commando into Creili's country to seise cattle and horses : this is particularly hard upon me, SA it will cost me upwards of 301. to clothe and horse him to go out to be killed. Ile himself is very anxious to make the campaign, and therefore I must reconcile myself to it, and tried In Providence for his sale return. The commando is composed . of the 1: itenhage division of farmers, some 300. All the western,ilivision of burghers have gone home bowies and elotheles. I believe also a company of the Albany Burghers is called up-300, the object of his Excellency being to move into Creili's country with all the horse force he can muster, to seize horses, on or about the 10th of next atantlyo. Our situation at present is very heart -breaking, con-, tl harassed by the predatory excursions of the barbarism and a total apathy at head-quarters towards repelling than. The preterit aspect is certainly very dincouraging, though this pest brought good tidings from Europe, which have caused our thorn& meters to rise a few degree.. We were all far below freezing point up to this period. The cheering intelligence that our affairs In& en grossed the serious attention of ministers has indeed derided ger drooping spirits. What the ultimatum of his Excellency's romans will he no one as yet knows; but I have confidence in his udgment end his , determination. I wrote hint a lengthened epistle, j point out my views as to the final settlement, an extract of which I enclose you. lie very politely acknowledged and thanked I me for the some. Within these brit few days he has sent for the Rev. W. Shaw, of the Wesleyan body, and the Rev. Kr. Calderwood, of the London Missionary society, to consult them p presume, on what was best to be done. I dislike this appeal to Ws. I sionaries, who have, up to the period of the irruption, been the people as well as the government as to the real state of Ca d rfC e rl iv a l 2 Unfortunately, a violent, nasty feeling is in existence in this place, so that it is extremely difficult to arrive at the truth, as what one party asserts the other denies, and rice versa. Unfortunately, the frontier papershave been crammed full of the controvensicsof the clergy, and the language made use of by one missionary towards another, if not equal to Billingigate, certainly falls very little shot acrimon t of it. The press in Europe might do something to dia discourage age such ious enrr i-spondence. His Excellency is at present recruiting his forces after five months' guerilla warfare, the enemy at all points evading his manceurres, and I see no wearied of the war finishing for the next six months, unless some kind of arrangement or I.4lldCrAtAlldillOr made with some of the chiefs to recall their people for it la an utter impossibility, if the chiefs remain as they are now, to drive the Caffren out of the colony—no, not if they send even twenty more iments. and P e ople may talk as they please , but the very nature of the coreny the Coffee mode of warfare render all our efforts nugatory. Regular troops, acting according to military etiquette and rules, are totally useless: and UTIVIO his Excellency adopts that spec ies of warfarefar which was exercised during the Spanish business, we may look ward in rain' for peace or security. No power but that of the chiefs can withdraw: the enciae froin our country, and they will continue to live on us, harass, and destroy us."

THE ROYAL VISIT.—ARUNDEL CASTLE, SATURDAY. —At the Castle, the preparations fur her Majesty are com pleted, and it will be surprising if the ducal entertainment does not equal, in magnificence, the princely display made by the Duke of Deco' shire, when her Majesty visited Chatsworth. A splendid suite of apartments have been superbly furnished and decorated for the exclusive use of the Queen and Royal Consort, comprising the whole of the north-east wing over the grand library. A beautiful view of the adjacent country is nbtaised from the apartments. The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk will each evening give a grand banquet, and on Wednesday and Thursday there are to be receptions at the Castle. The Yeomanry Cavalry, the Arundel and Bramber corps, is to do duty at the Castle during the royal visit. A triumphal arch is to be erected at the Castle-gate, and it is to be illuminated in the evening by variegated lamps. The ancient keep of the venerable castle is to be brilliantly lighted by gas. The inhabitants of Arundel are erecting a handsome triumphal arch at Water-gate, the entrance to the town from Havant, and it is to exhibit all the emblems usual on such manifestations. The county yeomanry regi ment is to relieve the escort of Lancers at Emsworth, where a troop of the Arundel and Bramber yeomanry cavalry, under Captain J. A. Smith, M.P., will escort the royal cor tege as far as Ball's-hut, where the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, with his lordship's troop, will escort her Majesty di rect to the castle. On different parts of the royal route it is contemplated to construct triumphal arches, and at Chiches ter the loyal inhabitants purpose to give her Majesty a cor dial reception. The Mayor of Arundel, and the municipal authorities, will await the approach of the Royal cortege at the boundary of the town on the Chichester-road, where the addresses will be presented. The town will be generally illuminated at night, and there is to be a grand display of fireworks in the meadow facing the Queen's apartments, at the foot of the castle-hill. THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF BORDEAUX IN ENG LAND.—The Morning Post of Saturday says, " We are in formed that the Duke and Duchess of Bordeaux are shortly expected to pay a visit to this country." APPOINTMENT OF MR. ROWLAND HILL.—Mr. Rowland Hill is installed in a permanent position at the Post-office. A statement on the subject, however, which appeared in a provincial paper, is incorrect. Colonel Maberly remains as Secretary to the Department of the Post-office ; and a new place is created for Mr. Hill, who, without solicitation, is appointed Secretary to the Postmaster General, with a salary of 1,2001. a year. What is to be the precise line of distinction between the duties of the two offices, we do not know ; but we do know the most important object of the appointment : government means to afford Mr. Hill the power of carrying out his plans of Post-office im provement in their integrity. — Spectator. CONTEMPLATED CHANGES IN THE COURT OF BANK RUPTCY.—A correspondent states that rumours are prevalent that the Lord Chancellor meditates some important changes in the Courts of Bankruptcy ; among others are the reduc tion of the number of commissioners from six to four, and the appointment of but one instead of two official assignees to each court. Two of the existing commissioners, it is said, will be offered the insolvency cases, which are to be trans ferred to Portugal-strect.—. Obserre►.
