' t• ..?" -• • 1 1 :1 I I; i CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. MAY 15, 1819. Advices have been received from the frontier up to the Sd of May inclusive, from which we learn, that Lieutenant-Colonel Wiltshire's preparations have been considerably retarded by the measures necessary for preventing the spread of the horse sickness, which had appeared, as usual, at the season of the year which precedes the frosts. Its virulence had, however, be gan to subside, 'and the evil bad, up to the period mentioned, been chiefly felt among the horses from Swellendam ; these had suffered severely. On the 22d of last month the Caffres, about 10.000 in number, attempted to surprise Graham's Town. They seem to have been perfectly aware of tlbc small force stationed there, the garrison (consisting of-die Light Company 38th, Royal African Corps, and a proportion of the Cape Corps, and five field-pieces,y not exbeeding S9O men, and the only force - in Ca valry being part of the Colonial. Troop. When the enemy first appeared, Lieutenant-Colonel, Wiltshire was absent inspecting the Troop , at some distance from the town, but the necessary dispositions for re pulsing him were ably made by Captain Trappes..Of the 72d Regiment, who was the nest Officer in senio rity. As soon as Lieutenant-COlontl• Wiltshire re ceived intelligence of the enemy's movement, he put , himself at the head of the Colonial Troops to recon noitre, and *oiling the Caffres pressing on with vest rapidity, he host no time in rejoining the garrison,, and formed hls line upqn an eminence in front of the town, detaching about 60 men for the defence of the barracks, which are situated about 2000 paces from it. The Caffres halted upon the heights to organize their arrangements for the attack, which appears to have been very systematically and judiciously made; they advanced in three masses, having besides a large body in the valley'which separates Graham's Town from Blue Krans, where the Burghers of the George District, under Commandant Botha, were posted, ap parently to prevent relief coming from that quarter; ore of the masses advanced against the barracks, while the.other two marched upon the town. Their movement was simultaneous, and by signal, several shots having been fired as such from a commanding eminence, when they mole i forward with that raps ea), which characterizes the Caffre charge, shouting with an e;.palling ' ell ; they were, however, checked by the fi rmness of Lientenant•Celonel Wiltshire and his small land, who, when the enemy was within 35 pace.; of him, opened a most destructive fire of arta lery and musketry, and brought the two columns to n. dead stand ; our heroes cheered in their turn, and ad- . vanced, which caused the Caffres to retreat with a rapidity equal to that which they had shewu on the advance. Meanwhile, the column, which had INNS directed against the barracks, seeme d more desperate; but the judicious firmness•and bravery of Lieutenant Cartwright, Royal African Corps, and the men of his small detachment; who defended them, and who kept up a well-directed tire against the assailants, at length succeeded in breaking the spirit and disappointing the hopes of this strong column ; they retreated with precipitation, leaving the ground covered with their slain. It has been ascertained, that not less than 500 Caffres have been sacrificed to the temerity of their Chiefs on this memorable day, besides the numbers which must proportionably have been wounded, and who will carry to their country lingering marks of their rashness. It is impossible not to join in the ad miration Lieutenant-Colonel Wiltshire expresses of the bravery and steadiness of every Officer and man of his little band. It is beyond a doubt, that the enemy obtained his information, with respect to the force at Graham's • Town, from Henrik Ncotka, Gaika's Interpreter, who • was at Graham's Town at the moment - of the attack, - and who went over to the enemy during the conflict. This traitor, however, met the fate he deserved, for he fell into our hands during the egg:igen:mut, and had his brains blown out by the exasperated soldiery. The scene of the engagement was covered with Cal- fre shields and assagays, which they had thrown in great numbers, but they do not launch them with pre cision when opposed to the fire of musketry, ; for it appears that our loss is confined to three killed and five wounded. Notwithstanding the position which the Caffres had taken to cut off the communication with Blue Krans, Lieutenant-Colonel Willshire contrived to send to Commandant Botha, in order to his charging the Caffre columns in the rear, or upon their retreat, but, unfortunately, the Commandant had sent the greatest part of his detachment on patmle in another direc tion, and was thereby unable to gratify his own wishes, and that of his people, in contributing to the overthrow of the enemy ; but the impression this gal lant little affair has made upon him, is best appre ciated by the circumstance of a detachnrentof an Of and.2o men having fallen in with the retreating columns, the Chiefs of which urged their men to at tack it, which the Cares declined doing. Every day marks the loss the Colony has sustained by the unfortunate circumstances which occasioned the removal of the Dragoon Regiment so' ong sta tioned here, which alone, - by the rapidity of its move ment, had it in its power to follow these savages, and to check the inroads which have been so frequent since its departure. We have been gratified in learning, that the Cape District Commando arrived at its position at Roode Wal on the 29th, in great spirits and excellent order, not having lost a horse on its long march. The Stel lenbosch Commando had passed the Lange Kloof, and must have reached Uitenhage about the same time; this division has suffered much on the march, both in horses and cattle, and will require considerable time to rest at Uitenhage, before it can proceed to the frontier. Fiae.—About one o'clock on Monday morning, a most alarming fire burst forth in the dwelling-house of Mr. BAMBADOER, fancy clock and watch-maker, residing in Morgan-street. commercial-road. The fire was discovered by the watchman, on going his round; he sprung . his rattle and alarmed the family, who were all buried in sleep. The fire had gained such strength et this time, that it was with difficulty the inmates eseaped with their lives, without saving -the smallest article of•their property, which; with the whole of the presslissik, was destroyed by the devour ingdament. • *V SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The gilding has been freshened, and the whole interior of the house has a pleasing appearance. An alteration has been made, by which the top of the Proscenium can be raised occasionally, whenever Spectacle is among the attractions of the night. On the opening of the last scene in the Play, it was elevated some feet. But the bills -say it can be raised to " nearly double its former height." To us it appeared capable of being raised but a few feet. Mr. C. JUMBLE was die Mac beth of the evening, vice Mr. YOUNG; and, though very interesting in the early part of the Play, as it advanced, and Macbeth becomes the blood-thirsty ty rant, be had not all the appalling characteristics of a finished stage-villain. Mrs. BONN (late Miss Sousa vu.s.z) acted Lady Macbeth with judgment. Her measured declamation at times accorded well with the fiend-like composure of the wife of Macbeth, belt sometimes it degenerated into a drawl, which might have been spared. Macduff was given to Yana. Aftezwhat Mr. C. KEMBLE has done for the part, it was not to .be expected that Mr. YATES would be particularly happy in it. He did not want for ani mation, but he could not look it well, and the effort upon the whole was little more than respectable.— The Play was applauded at its close, but some few symptoms of displeasure were mingled with the ge neral approbation. Before the curtain rose, " Gon sieve the King' was sung by the Performers. ENGLISH OpEßA.—Last night, after The Browns' Man, in which DowvoN, 'VITnENcti, and Miss KELLY were, as usual, tumultuously applauded, the Mock-, Tragedy of The Tailors was performed; and to com plete the interesting variety of the evening, the fa vourite Ballet of The Death of Captain Cooke was re presented, for the first time this season. Mr. T. P. COOKE, as the Captain, gave an animated represent*. Lion of the dignity and courage of the Commander. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—The Duke and Duchess of KENT attended this Theatre on Saturday evening; to witness the laughable Comedy of Pigeons and Crows, and the Farce of the Agreeable Surprise. The moment the Royal Pair entered the Stage-box,. they were greeted with plaudits, as loud and as hearty as ever indicated the feelings' of a loyal people. Their Royal Highnesses appeared highly delighted with' the performances, and left the House amidst testitno nies of genuine and generous good-will, as fervent as those which distinguished their entrance. The Duchess was greatly affected by these unbought ex pressions of respect—she curtsied frequently, and those who were near her could observe that a tear at pleasure mingled itself with the smile which ills mined her countenance. The House was crowded. Last night the House was again crowded with ele gant company, who manifested by their warm an 4 reiterated plaudits the delight they experienced from the fine acting in the several Pieces of Pigeons and Crows A Day After the Wedding, and The Travel lers Benighted. Mr. Your:), late of Covent Garden Theatre, is an nounced to play some leading characters at Yar mouth, whence he proceeds with the Company of that Theatre to Norwich. We lately mentioned the case of a poor boy at Perth, who had swallowed a pike-hook, which stuck in his throat, and his having been sent to Edinburgh for surgical assistance. We are now glad to learn that Auszationst Gna.zspiz, Esq. surgeon, has suc ceeded in removing the hook from the throat of the boy. This was effected, we understand, by a very simple contrivance, and with scarcely any nneasisess to the patient. Exacuriost.--James Posher, convicted of sheep stealing at the lase Croydon Assizes, and the only person left for execution by Mr. Baron Gwastow, un xlerwent the dreadful sentence of the law yesterday morning, at Honemonger-lane. This culprit was long well known as a person of notoriously profligate. habits, and did not himself, from the moment of his conviction, entertain the slightest hope of macy..,He died truly penitent. • •••• thein otehleymt7nargineg.4;zale..rat..liml.llll jul6c broug e b tmli t up, 11 A COMMON HALL. THE LORD MAYOR'S REFUSAL T O GRANTi s for being disorderly, which vas - • set agaiar The Deputation, who presented the Requisition for a Common Hall, on the late proceedings at Man chester, to the Loan MAYOR on Friday last, waited upon his Lordship yesterday morning, for the pur pose of receiving his Lordship's answer. The LORD lIATOR said, he was always sorry when he could not comply with the wishes of the Livery, but on the present occasion he should decline calling a Hall. On the Deputation expressing their regret that his Lordship should have formed such a determination, the LORD MAYOR replied, "That is my determina tion; I have already summoned a Court of Common Council upon the same business." The Deputation observed, that his Lordship was well aware that that circumstance formed no reason against assembling a Common Hall, the Livery and Common Council being very distinct bodies, and requested his Lordship to assign his reasons f o r the refusal in writing. The LORD MAYOR replied, "That I certainly shall not do. There are several gentle men present who hear me (alluding to Mr. Hobler and another person then in the room), and I will not get into a Newspaper controversy." One of the Deputation then said, " As your Lord ship has declined acceding to our Requisition, you • will have the goodness to return it to us." LORD MAYOR—Ne. I shall not. Deputation—Then we are reduced to this awk ward dilemma, that we must hold a Meeting without your Lordship. LORD MAYOR—About that, Gentlemen, you are to • do as you please. Deputation—Your Lordship will not prevent us from holding a Meeting in the Guildhall, as that is our own property ? The Lon° MAYOR replied—" I know very well whose property it is," but made no further obser vation. Another of the Gentlemen expressed himself rather strongly on the refusal of the Requisition, and used the word unwarrantable," as applied to his Lord ship's conduct. On which the Lord Mayor turned to the Gentleman and said, " You came here pur posely to insult me." The Deputation then withdrew, and his Lordship himself shut the door, rather hastily, almost in the face of the Gentleman who last left the room. ntgstoNT-Tousa.—Thonsas Day, a shewman, who has a booth in Bartholomew Fair, attended yesterday, accompanied by an officer, upon the charge of hav ing fired a pistol of gunpowder at a boy's eye, through a crevice in the canvass of his receptacle. The officer, before the defendant made his ap pearance, stated to the LORD MAYOR, that the skew man was below, covered up in a coach, and could not be brought up without great inconvenience to Mosey: His Lordship sent down his compliments, and begged the favoer of an interview. Soon after Mr. Day's name was called out, and room was made, but although it was said that the de fendant was present, he was invisible to the LORD MAYOR, who looked round him with an inquisitive eye fr.r some F oments. His Lordship asked where Mr. Day was ? g , Here, " uttered a voice like that dm frog, " I am Mr, ay !" The eyes of the hearers were directed to the spot from whence the voice was beard, but nothing was to be seen. At last one of the officers stooped down, and catching hold of something in one hand, raised it up, and placing it on his arm, exhibited the com lete epitome of a man. The LORD MAYOR, after his astonishment had sub sided, said, he was sorry to hear that Mr. Day had so violently broken the peace, and begged to know what provocation had induced him to blow gunpow [ der in a boy's eyes ? Mr. Day addressed the LORD MAYOR in the most theatrical manner :-be declared, that he had been molested by so many boys, with whom the unfor tunate size of his body threw him upon an equality, that his life was really miserable. He had entertained some fears that a set of these tormentors had devised a plan to carry him off [a plan not at all impracti cable, as he appeared to be not much larger than a quartern loaf l] He had, therefore, provided himself with a little gunpowder, with the view of frightening hi; persecutors, who had already cut several holes in his booth, to the great prejudice of his business. He fired his pistol on this occasion, and unhappily hurt the complainant; but he had not intended it, and was ready to remunerate him. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, I have no objection ; but although you are small, you must not think your self so highly privileged. You may knock a man of six feet down, if you like ; but you must not blow either his brains or his eyes out. The father of the boy attended, and stated, that as the little man had expressed his sorrow for his con duct, and had agreed to make some reparation, he was not disposed to prosecute. Mr. Day wa s , there fore discharged. GusLnitALL.—Sequel to the Disturbances in St. Andrew's CAurch-yard.—Our Readers will remember a disgraceful disturbance in the Church-yard of St. Andrew, Holborn, in the early part of June last, in consequence of the refusal of the Parish Officers, (there being no Rector at that time) to permit the body of a Mrs. Gilbert to be interred, on account of its being enclosed in an Iron-coffin. The question on the propriety of the refusal has since been before the Court of King's Bench, on a motion for a Man damus to compel the Churchwardens to permit the interment, but the Court refused the Rule, upon the paind that the subject was wholly withiu the juris diction of the Ecclesiastical Court : the cause is still pending in that Court. The corpse is still unbu ried, and remains in the bone-house of St. Andrew. As soon as the list of prisoners had been gone through yesterday, Mr. Brtdgeman, the Patentee of the Iron-coffins, made his appearance in the front the table, and addressing the Magistrate, Alderman JOSHUAJONATHAN SMITH, stated, that he had as application to make of a peculiar nature :--he then proceeded to say,. that he had been taken into cus tody at the instance of Mr. Buzzard, the Church warden, and other Parish Officers, in St. Andrew'i -yard; for no other reason that he was aware fat of his refusing to cause the tofu, with in it; to be removed from the Church .; that he was conveyed to the Compter, where remained all night, and that he was brought up iii, ibiat, 1 the owl • 1 .... . at set agaiost 1111 1, after he taken to the Compter ; dlat no was produced to pi-wee any such offe;.ce, a 7 l, Alderman would have discharged him, hat ther charge was preferred against him f.r Frewen, the parsh beadle, by slr.kiag him i z way to the Compter, subsequently to hi. liaV;% taken into custody by the direction of the wardens. Fot this offence he had given 1).;:, cause was likely to be tried at the ensuin ; In the interim it was his intention to bring 114 ,„; 4 for the false imprisonment in the first instonce, as it clearly appeared, there was no ground oca az against him. He had already commenced hi, a ti against James Vs - ilkinson, the constable she z . him into custody ; but there were other oilicei4 ing and assisting ; and he (Wilkinson) r:lit their names, or say who they were. His apph ct i to the Alderman, therefore, was, that as the; all City officers, he would be pleased to ding the names of the patties shoaid be farni-hed (Hridgernan) for the furtherance of 'medic julk„.., Mr. Alderman SsltTit said, if he understnev matter rightly, he (the applicants ha.

Bartholomew Fair was yesterday crowed to, cess, and the pickpockets carried on their &pa, tions with alacrity. One of them had the cruelty!, tear a necklace from the neck of an infant, eielr months old, in its mother's arms. The chihistil7o l was wounded by the violence.
