CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Extract of a letter from an English traveller, now In the interior, to D. P. Taylor, Esq. Cape Town, Notary Public, dated 19th May s—s• I remained several days at the Moravian settlement of the Witte Rivier, and found great pleasure by the delay. This institution promises to be the most flourishing one in the colony ; the natural advantages it possesses are superior to those of Guadendal itself; and although the water is not so plentiful, there is a sufficiency, and the lack of abundance is mare than . compensated by the superior fertility of the soil; and it is almost incredible what the indefatigable and truly devoted Missionaries have done, since the devastatioc made hereby the Caffres duting the late war. They have raised the water, by the means of a simple hy alraulic machine, to the height of twenty feet ; and in a comparatively short period, through their- quiet and , persevering induitry, a wilderness has been converted , into a beautiful and productive garden : they have liked wise provided themselves against any futureezigenciest the smiths and carpenters' slsops have been so ereved as to serve the purpose of a fortification, capable of being defended against any body of Cadres. The Hottentot children at school read much better than those belonging to the Boors, and present an inteTesting view of what Christian education produces. I returned. yesterday from visiting Bethelsdorp and Port Elizabeth: the progress made by the children in the Sunday school of the former is highly creditable to their teachers ; Wit I have nowhere seen such a vast expense laid out in building, upon a place so little adapted for a Missionary Institution. The Missionaries stem to consider its tteri. iny as an advantage; this is quite beyond my com l .' e !tension. Port Etizpeth, if the privilege; of a free port are granted, will, at no very distant petiod, prove an, interesting and flourishing town. It contain; about 2,000 persons, is the only EngLibir•built place, in the colony,. and the whole wears a homely and British appearance. But there is no Church, and this fact tends to corrobo rate the charge of fereigners, of the remissness of the English as to their religion, when they leave the home of their fathers." SPAIN. "7" 11 ' • PROM TRZ JOI/ZaAL DZ4 DUATS. CADIZ, AUGUST The letters which we received to-day from Seville, dated the 7th inst. bring the following details:— " A great fermentation prevails in all the towns of Upper Andalusia, but particularly at Cordova, Carmona, &I P', and Seville. Ia the first of these cities numerous arrests toc,k place on the night Of the 6th, all of persons distutguis!ted by their .rank or theit riches. It should seem, however', that these arrests :►re founded on mo tives of great importance, for on the .sth they began at Seville, and have been continued every night. Among the persons arrested, who already amount to 189, are the Marchioness de Tabires and her whole family, the P.ipr of the Consulate of Commeice Andueza, the rich merchants Bayo and Googora. " But what is remarkable is, that the arrests extend to persons of all opinions, such as Liberals, Carlists, and Roalists, and of all classes, as monks, cations, mer chants, 'shopkeepers, tailors, shoemakers, apothecaries,' and bptebers, These arrests are, it seems, to be con tinued ; for the prisons and the former house of the In quisition being full, the Intendant of Police has written letters to the Priors of all thp convents 'to clear arid place at his disposal as many cells as possible. Seals have been affixed on the houses of several of the per sons arrested." R IVATE CORREsPospENcE). MADRID, AUGUST 15. An extraordinary Junta is to be held this week at St. Ildefonso, to consider of what is to be done. Things have come to that pass, that there is no goiri4 on any longer ; and the governor! altogether are at their wits' end. The whole of the Ministers, the Duke del Infantado, Ge neral Castanos, Villella, &c. in all about sixteen of the highest rank and influence at Court, are cited to at• tend. General Crux seems to take the lead, and will direct the proceedings. The King is said to be distracted at the affairs of the nation, every day bringing forth some fresh calamity, and every step taken seems but chalking up an addi tional mark to the score of wrong. His Majesty, however, of his own free will, has just pot down one to the account of right, in refusing to re establish the Inquisition, which the priesthood had re presented as indispensable to the wetl-being of the mo narchy, and had of late become one of the chief topics of conversation. On the heel of this refusal has come up a dismal account of the arrest of more than one hundred and fifty persons at Seville—the richest in habitants of the place—priests, friars, officers, mer chants, proprietors, itc. That real disturbances will take place, and all over the country, is very likely, now that the military com missions are suppressed. Though devoid of justice or commiseration, cruel and sanguinary, yet they struck terror into the people—kept them in some sort of sub jection, and more tranquil than could have been ex pected, considering the desperate situation of all. As sassinations and robberies will now be more frequent than ever. A strong desire has been manifested to - suppress the police too, and the object is evident. The police is one of the best institutions possible. There is a security in Madrid never felt before. Parties of horse and fort patrol the streets during the nigfit constantly, and are very effective in preventing crimes. The penury augments daily. The Treasurer-General has felt himself under the necessity of pointing out the folly of the plans of the Minister of Finance, conceived, no doubt, with the best feelings, but the results of them are, that nothing comes into the Treasury. or is likely to come in, and credit is entirely lost. Formerly his own signature would relieve him from all temporary embarrassments. It was With the extremest difficuliy ,20,000 L could be scraped together to send to Paris for the last half-year's interest due on Guebhard's Loan. If the next half-year gets paid it must be by miracle. Every public establishment, is in a state of ruin ; their funds have constantly been absorbed by the _ - report upon the expediency of continuing the charter, or dissolving the society. The independent members of the Junta are resolved upon telling the Government, that if their capital is restored to them, and a pledge of its not being demanded back, their privileges granted (me day and not broken the next, their charter should by all means be continued ; but if it is meant to rob them of what little they have left, and annul their pri vileges at pleasure, it had better be dissolved. The object of the Minister seems to be to provide for the expenses of the day, leaving to-morrow rn take care of itself; so that the people in the Palace, and the guards are paid, all the rest seems indifferent. The assembling of a large French force from Bay onne to Perpignan, has been of late a great field of discourse ; in fact, nothing is talked of in the Tertulias but Inquisition, finance, and the French. The number . . of French in the country are greater than generally sup- posed, and stronger garrisons are to relieve the pre sent ones. Calis is very strongly fortified, as also Barcelona and Carthagena; the east coast they pay great attention to. It would be absurd to repeat everything ; that is conjectured. Some say the French are to put in force. the Duke d'Angouleme's famous Andajar Decree, or Ferdinand's SOth of September pledge, or to put down the strong patty in favour of Charles V. It is said that gold and silver coin with his effigy has been shewn at Court; and that the brothers, in consequence, are on bad terms; _ _ _ The intended enforcement of the civil contribution of Luc per cent, in Arragon and Navarre creates a great ferment in those provinces ; hitherto they never have paid it ; they have returned to their ancient laws, and they protest against innovation. This is the reason of Quesada's drawing troops after him, and perhaps one reason that the French are on the frontiers to assist in putting down a revolt. lieutenant-Colonel Seben, the Secretary, who repre sented against the good and moderate Iseeue,la, has been arrested. This is the reward, and a just one, for zeal like his. Colonel Minio, who, after Ittego's death, declared he had saved the King's life, when the other had commissioned him to make away with him, and for which he claimed to be Duke of Nebaija, and the grant of a competent estate, has also been thrown into prison. The last mail for Italy on leaving this was stopped by order of Government about a league off; the cor respondence with certain addresses was taken out, and the rest proceeded. SUMMER ASSIZB'S. CHESTER, AUGUST 27. MURDER. Terence James C'onnell was put to the bar, charged with the wiltul *Murder of Margaret* Trevor, at Cheadle Buckle, on the night of the 12th of August last. was also charged with the same crime on the Comae)! Inquest. • ' The prisoner plaided Not Guilty. The Ulster 'hieing directed that no inhabitants of Stockport should be placed on the Jury. The Avoaasr-Ganeasis. stated the case for the prosecution, and called the following witnfsses to subsiantiate Catherine Sands, e;amined by Mr. J. WILLIAMS—I am the wire of John Sands, and live at Edgeley, sear Stockpo.t. I kiiew Margaret Trevor, 'the deceased, Who jived about a mile from me. I saw her en the evening of Friday, the 12th of August, about half-past eight o'clock. She left my house at that time to go home. Her house was not in a direction leading to, but from Stockport. Her road led through Holly Wood. When she left me she appeared to be in per fect health. She' was a Roman Catholic. I do not know the prisoner. She was dressed in a light-co- loured short bed-gown, and a light shawl. She had on a black bOnriet. I cannot speak to the colour of her petticoats or of her apron. I believe the apron was a light-Coloured one. I recollect nothing more part% . cular of her dress. • • • _ Janies Fitzpatrick, examined by Mr. Arroanzt. GENERAL—I live at Heaton Norris, near Stockport, and lodged on the 12th of August last at the same house with the prisoner. I had been with the prisoner that *evening at Newbridge in Petty Carr, Stockport, hut I separated from him between seven 'and eight o'clock. I saw him next at 20 minutes past nine o'clock, in the house where we lodged. I was in bed when he came to me. James Buckley, who lodged with us, was also in bed at that time. The prisoner asked me to get up, because he believed there was a woman neatly murdered in Holly Wood. I asked him if it were true ? as I believed at first that he was making fun of me. He said that it was true. I asked Buckley to ket up: He didso, and so did I. We put on our clothes. The prisoner was dressed in a blue coat, blue waistcoat, and fustian trowsers, and white striped linen apron. He was dressed so when I ',arta with him, between seven and eight o'clock. When We had dressed ourselves, we went down stairs, and got a lantern and - candle; we lighted the candle, and then went out over 11 inksway.bricfge. We met ,a man, whom I do not know, when we got halfway over the bridge. The prisoner spoke to him, and asked him to come with us? telling him that a woman had been murdered in Holly Wood. This was the first man whom we met; he refused to accdmpany us. We then went to a shop kept by a man of the name of Brookes: it is the first house over the bridge, and, indeed, the first house we came to after leaving our own. The house in which Hive is on a different side of Holly Wood from that in•which the Catholic priest lives. When we got to Brookes's house, we saw Brookes himself, and a man of the name of John Hari. lam. We asked them to come with us to Holly Wood. I spoke to them, but the prisoner was present. Han. lam went with us up to the wood. Brookes would not. We met nobody else on the road. On reaching the wood, we quitted the road , got over a gate, and went into a field below the wood. The prisoner then led us to the place where the deceased lay. S'le was lying immediately below the wood, and close to the hedge which skirts it. There is no path from the ; road to that place. We foand the deceased lying on her side. She was th en living, but insensibl e. can-
