It is a crying shame and a gross injustice to the troops, from the general to the private, to place valuable lives in the hands of a man who has been, for the last ten years of his life,, vegetating in the back woods of Australia, Canada, or the Cape. Can this surgeon be au courant with all the improvements and discoveriei in the progressive sciences of medicine and sur gery? Is he fit to take charge of a thousand men in the flail 1 Decidedly not.

It is hoped by every officer and man in the service, that some high-minded advocate of army reform will cause due consideration to be given to this grave subject; the serv:c es o f th e no ble and chivalr ous Stafford are not forgotten. The Secretary for War stated in Parliament that the Medical Department required complete reorga nisation, and. that_ the claims of medical officers would receive every attention. H. R. 11. the Duke of Cambridge, in his impartial evidence before a Select Conmittee of the_Rouse of Comm ms, that terminated in .July, 1856, stated his decided opi nions on the advisabitity of granting higher rela tive rank to surgeons. Sir Da Lacy Evans fully coincided -in that opinion, and passed an eulogium on medical t.ffLers which will not be forgotten by them. Many distinguished military atithorities stated that the position of military surgeons should be improved in every respect, so as to induce men of science and ability to enter the service. It is a melancholy thing to see what stratagems the Director-Genet al is obliged to adopt in order to procure some kind of surg'c .1 attendance f. r the army i writing to the different colleges, hospitals, and d:spenisaries, begging for students, to matter how junior, offering them commissions it th-y pass a farce of an examination ; getting tl.e Colleges of Surgeons to reduce their curriculum to the lowest p , Fsible standard, and wishing the professors to tuff up to - the students the ad van tag,:s of entering the a my.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Sultan, Captain Neil Cook, with the heavy portion of the Bombay mails, arrived at South ampton at 12.30 p.m. yesterday. Her dates are, Alexandria, May 10 ; Malta, 15 ; and Gibralt ir, 19. She had fine weather for the greater portion of the outward voyage ; homewards, strong north west winds and sea between Alexandria and Malta; thence to Gibraltar fine weather ; from Gibraltar, for the first six hours, strong east wind and fine ; up the Portuguese coast a strong north wind and head sea ; across the Bayof Biscay strong wind and heavy sea, wind N. W. to W. S. W.; from Cape thhant a terrific gale from N.W., and heavy sea. She had a large steamer in company. The Sultan brings a total of 79 passengers (48 first-class, 10 t econd, and 21 children), including Col. Morris, Lieut.-Cols. Hinneand Stockley, Capt. and Mrs. Hamilton, Major Horsburgh, Capt. and Mrs. AldridgP, Lieut. and Mrs. Willi tins, Lieut. and Mrs. Keer, Li eu +. H eat h cote, R.N., Ars. Bar row, Mrs. Brown, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Ullman, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, Messrs. Barry, Berk ley, Nicol, &c. On fre:ght she had one package of specie (value not stated), 712 b a l es o f s ilk, 1 quarter-cask of wine, 74 p ac k ages o f i vory , an d 22 packages of sundries. At Alexandria were her Majesty's Eteamera Tar tarus and Medina. At Malta, the Royal Albert, Centurion, Swallow, Wanderer (giatbeYar*Caradoe; ~r a Supply (;:turvabip). At Gibraltar, the steamer Curlew. An easterly wind set in at Gibraltar at an early hour on the morning of the 17th instant, and enabled the numerous wiudbound vessels in the harbour to set sail for the westward ; a large number from Algeciras roadstead and from behind the Rock also took advantage of the oppor tunity to proceed: The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ripon, with the Bombay mail of the llth from Southampton, arrived at Gibraltar at 6 a.m., on the 17th, and resumed her voyage to Malta and Alexandii at 2 p.m. the same day. The British merchant steamer Teneriffe, Captain W. F. M'Arthur, seven days from Liverpool, with a general cargo for Gibraltar, Genoa, L-ghorn, and Naple., arrived at Gibraltar ou the 16th. On the voyage home the Sultan spoke the fol lowing steam-ships of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's fleet :—May 15, off Malta, the Pera, bound for Alexandria ; 19th, in lat. 36 . 45 N., long. 0.15 E., the Ripon, bound for Alexandria ; 22d, 12 miles north of the 13urliuge, the Tagus, bound I.r Lisbon ; 23J, in lat. 46.40 N., long. 6.55 W., a steamer, supposed to be the Benares. This must have been the Colombo, which left Southampton on the 20th ; the Benares is 'n dock at that port. The Valetta was at Malta. HEALTH OF L9NDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar General.). The deaths regi-tered in London, which in each of the two previous weeks were about 1,050, rose in the last week, ending Saturday, May 22, to 1,082. I n th e t en years, 1848-57, the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,030 ; but as the deaths of last week occurred in an increased popula tion they can only be compared with the average, after the latter is raised in a degree proportionate to the in crease, a correction which will make it 1 132. Hence it is seen that the actual number of deaths now returned is less by 50 than the number which would have occurred if the average rate of mortality, as calculated for the third week of May, bad prevailed. Of the deaths, amounting to 251 from the order of diseases termed in the tables miasmatic, the largest pro portion is still contributed by whooping-cough, which carried off 72 children, of whom 52 di Al within the first two years cf life. Mr. Butterfield, the registrar cf the sub•distriet of Islington, by whom 6 d-aths from thi, complaint are returned for the week, states that it has bt en the fatal disease in 14 ptr c•nt. of the deaths regis tered by him since the 13th of April. Measles was fatal last week in the next degree, 60 children having died of it (4 c f the Fe in the sub-district of St. JAn, Westmin step). There were 48 deaths from scarlatina, sof which occurred in the eub-diferict cf St. Ge ,rge the Martyr, Hollsorn. It wan mentioned in last return that 3 chil dren belonging to thezame parents had died of scarlatina in Hyde park barracks ; it is nowlaited that the fourth and last child in the family has died from the disease. The wife of a labourer in the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, died at 34, Coar!otto-street, Plum-tead, of "cholera, typhoid fever," after 6 days' illness. S x person: who had att4ired the age of 20 years and upwards were re gistered in the week, the two oldest r f whom were a man, aged 96 years, who died in Great Dover-street, Newing ton, and a woman, aged 97, in Beaumont -street, Maryle • bono. B-sides these, a lab , ureett widow died at the age of 100 years at 4, Pratt-alley, \Vhitechapel. La 4 week the births of 846 bop and 779 girls, in all 1,625 children, were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks cf the years 1848-57 the average number was 1,548. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 2 9 / 6 1 ir, The highest barometrical reading was 29 . 97 in. on Thursday. The mean temperature of the week was 54'9 deg., whic'i is 1 . 6 de g . above the average cf the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher.) The highest point attained by the therknometer in the shade was 71 deg. on Friday ; the lowest point was 421 deg. on the day previous. The range of temperature in the week was thertf,:t e 28 . 3 deg. The mean daily range was 19.3 d(g. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and air temperature was 9'4 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 72, com plete saturation being repre:ented by 103. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames wa , 55 . 5 deg. The direction of the wind was south-west. Rain fell to the amount of 0.27 inch. On Wednesday afternoon there was a very heavy equal! of wind, accompanied by thunder and heavy rain. The composition of tbe water supplied by eight of the water companies in the metropolis has been determined for the month of April by Dr. R D. Thompson, F.R.S., of St. Thomas's Hospital, and is represented in the sub sequent detail. It is proper to mention that the water containing the largest amount of impurity happened to be taken after a fall of rain, when a distinct alteration in the compositio❑ of water derived from the surface drainage of an agricultural country can usually be de tected. In this detail 1° (one degree) of impurity is equivalent to one grain of foreign matter present dis solved in the water per gallon. For the scale of compa rison water about to be supplied to Glasgow from Loch Katrine, and water supplied to Aberdeen from the Dee, are introduced. Total Organic Impurity. Impurity.

Companies. gold a t P ar i s i s a b ou t PRICE OF . GOLD.— The:price of 11 per mille, and the short exchang e on London is `25.05 per pound sterling. Oa comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 3/ 17s. 1 04 d. per ounce for -1 standard gold, it appears tha t geld is ab out 3 oths per cent. dearer in Paris than in Loudon, By advices from Hamburg the price of g old is 425 per mark, and the short Exchange on London is 13.5.} per pound sterling. Standard gold at the Eng lish Mint price is therefore rather morn than 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 1091 per cent., which, when compared wit h the Mi nt par b e t ween the two countries, shows that the exchange is slightly in favour of England ; and, after making allowances for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the i mportation of gold from the United States. IMPRISONMENT OF A BOY FOR T RUNDLING A HOOP. —Through the ex,rtions of the clergy of Holy Trinity parish, Hull, and on their payment of the fine and cost., a little boy, who last month attained the age of ten years, has been released from Hull G.s.sl, t o which he was committed for seven days, for trundling his hoop in the middle of Wellingtonstreet, which, being one of the widest streets iu Huil l was in use at the time of the offence as a stand for carriers' carte. It appears that this little boy, whose raise is George Foster, son of a tradesman residing in Blackfriargate, and who is one of the pupils of the vicar's school, Was taken before the magistrate, to whom it was stated by a policeman that horses, b u t t h e b oy sa id the hoop frightened the carriers' they were no horses to the carte, and only some sheep behind him. Ho was fined ls. and costs 3s. 6,1., total 4s. 63., and word sent from the court by a policeman to the parents ; the mother attended the court, the magis trate told her the charge, the fine, and the costs, and a-ked her if she would pay ; she said s h e wou ld no t. The boy was taken to gaol, but during the remainder of that day was not put to work ; on the next day his hair was cut short, and on the following he was sent to pick oak= with some other boys, one of whom told him he was a pickpocket. On the boy being missed from school, the eergy interested themselves in his case, and on the foul th day they obtained his release,--gull Packet. SAILORS' ORPHAN GIRLS' SCHOOT, AND HOME. Yesterday the annual meeting of this charity was held at the Hanover-square Rooms—the Hon. Capt. Maude, R.N., in the chair. The chairman, in opening the proceedings, said that the name of the institution was so comprehensive, that in itself it recommended it to the support of the British public. It would, he said, be difficult to realise the extent of the advantages which the present site, Frognal- house, Hampstead, afforded the children, unless one were acquainted with the locality of the old school in the east of London, in a neighbour hood so degraded that the committee, hesitated to allow the pupils to attend Divine service, lest on their way from the school-house to the church their eyes and their ears might be offended by the open profanity of life and conversation which abounded there. The report, after giving a history of the rise and progress of the institution, stated that the number of orphans whom it maintained and edu cated was fifty. Last year six left for situations as domestic servants, having been trained in laundry work and cooking, and six similarly qualified will leave in the course of the present year ; and it was a gratifying fact that not one of those girls whom it had sent out into the world had acted in a manner to bring disgrace upon the institutiou. It was also stated that the trustees of the will of the late Mrs. Kennedy had apportioned out of her estate, bequeated for charitable purpose, 2001. to the in stitution, and the committee were in negotitition with the association for the relief of the wive, chil dren, 4 " cloPenclent relatives of seamen and marines in the royal navy, to undertake thy pay ment of certain annuities granted by that society on receiving 3,5001. their present value, and they intended to add to that sum 2,0001. more, and in• vest the whole as the funded property of the charity. It appeared from the balance-sheet that the committee had in hand at the commencement of the past year a balance of 3,321/. 15.. 9d., wh;ch, with subscriptions to the amount of 994/. 3s. ld. interest 83/. Os. 9,1., and 2771. ss. BJ. re ceived from the Patriotic Fond, made a total in come of 4,676/. ss. 3d. The expenditure was 2,036/. ss. 9i1., leaving in hands a balance of 2,639/. 19s. 6d. Since the audit of accounts 561. 18s. was collected in Hampstead by special appeal, and the Earl of Derby had forwarded 101. as his subscription, with his consent to become a vice president of the charity. The report was adopted MADRAS MUSSULMAN SEPOYS. Accounts of the mutilation and torture of our murdered countrywomen in Bengal hare been hcoadly affirmed, but slenderly substantiated by living sufferers or eyewitnesses. If you will pub lish the accompanying statements, taken by me fr m a recent number of the Madras Athenmum, the public may learn that atrocities similar to those with which Bengal Sepoys have been charged are certainly not unknown among their Madras brethren.—Yours obediently, May 24. SEMYD. " BANGALORE. —A murder case, which for atrocity and cruelty vies with the outrages recently perpetrated in the North-west —excepting that in the present in• stance the murderers are Mussultean Sepoye, and the victim a yoang woman of their own creed—has just been dispoeed of by the Judicial Commissioner in Mysore. We have the greatest disinclination to place the horrible in actual life before our readers, yet, as many of the advocates of the traditional policy in Eng land and elsewhere speak of clemency and tolerance to wards the harmless acid docile people of Hiadostan, we look upon it as a matter of duty to place before the public each of the occurrences in every-day life that pass under our review as tend to develop the awful de pravity and present tendencies of the many.coloured tribes we are surrounded with. Some time last year, in the month of February, a Sepoy of the 35th Regi ment Native Infantry, at Hurryhur, was offended about some trivial matter with a young woman of leoee cha• ratter named Jatuahlee, who resided in the same can tonment, and resolved on revenging himself. He found no difficulty in getting six of hie comrades and a bliefi-Ay of his corps to joiu him in the perpetration of the con templated outrage. Measures having been pi - concerted, the abovenamed Sepoy and one of his comrades dogged the foot , teps of Jainahleeone evening, when seeing their inten.led victim seated in a bazar, they went up to her. an.i after greeting her eourteou:q asked her in a casual way to come and partake of a 6;14.53 of arrack with them. She unsuspecting consented to their preposal and ac companied them. They weeded their way pike cheer fully, out of the B.zear lines, to the Bad-firing plain, in doing which they happened to meet, 'as if accidentally, the remaining five Sepoys and the bheesty.' When they bad got here a bottle of arrack was brought, and while all seemed t) partake of the intoxicating stuff, care of taken to make Jamahlee drunk. No sooner was this result produced than every one of these monster ravished their poor victim, after which they carried her to a ruined temple on the banks of the Toombudra, river ' close by, stripped her of her clothes and jewele, lit a fire, and roasted her alive, stomach downwards, pointed a bamboo stick and pierced her ear and other parts of her body with it, beat her with a rattan, and tortured her to death. Not satisfied with all this they brought the corpse back, and threw it on the ball-firing plain in the canton ment, in order, it appears, that all who passed by might spit upon it.' Two of those eight wretches have been sentenced to death, and the remaining six to transporta tion for life." THE AUSTRIAN TELEGRAPHS. A letter, dated Vienna, May 22, says :—As the correspondence between the British and Austrian Governments concerning the proposed submarine telegraph from Ragusa to Alexandria was sent to press some days ago, it may be well to inform you that the long mooted question of " to be or not to be" has just entered into a new phase. Sir John Young, the Lord Commissioner of the lonian Isles, deeming it necessary to have early intelligence cf what is passing in the Greek provinces of European Turkey and in the kingdom of Greece, bas informed the Austrians that they are at liberty to laydown a cable from Ragusa to Corfu, and another from Corfu to Zante. The matter, however, is not yet definitively settled, for four or five days ago an official telegram was received from London, in which it was asked " whether the Austrian Government proposed to construct a submarine telegraph be tween Ragusa and Alexandria, or between Corfu and Alexandria." A person, who is well informed of what passes in official circles, informs me that the question caused extreme surprise, as the Austrian Government has repeatedly expressed itself to the following effect Austria is willing to establish a telegraphic communication between Ragusa and Corfu and Corfu and Zante at its own expense, and without any guarantee from England. 2. Austrian company will establish a tel egra phi c communica tion between Corfu and Candia (Crete) and Candia and Alexandria if England will join Austria in guaranteeing 6 per cent. on the capital expended. The two offers are entirely separate, but it would appear that the Austrian authorities have not yet succeeded in making the British Government under stand that such is the case. The outlay for laying au electric cable front Corfu to Candia, and thence to Alexandria would be 500,0001., and the interest, at 6/. per cent., 30,0001. of which the Austrian Go vernment is willing to-guarantee one-half. THE NEW BRAZILIAN LOAN. The following particulars of the New Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cent.

[PRIOR 4D. S rAmpED 51) NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Orders were yesterday issued by the Commandant of Chatham Garrison for a number of additional tents to be erected for the troops of the Line at tached to the 3d battalion, it being determined that the East India Company's depots now occu-, pying the South-square, at Brornpton Barracks, shall vacate those quarters, which will be occupied by the troops belonging to the Sappers and Miners, who are now quartered in that part of the barracks intended to b 3 converted into an hospital, the troops of the Liue going under canvass and into the huts at St. Mary's. The First Lord of the Admiralty will hold a levee there on Tuesday next, the Ist of June, at two o'clock, and he will continue to hold levees on the Tuesdays of each week, at the same hour, until further notice. Her Majesty's ship Monarch, 84, sailing two- . decker, Capt. Patey, flag of Vice-Admiral 11.. W. Bruce, late Commander-in-Chief on the Pacific -tation, arrived in St. Helen's-road, off Spithead, yesterday morning, from Valparaiso and R'o. Th© weather was so bad, blowing a whole gale, that the ship made no nearer approach to Soithead all day, and the only communication made with her was by the steam vessel Pigmy, which was sent out with letters to Admiral Bruce and the officers. .Mr. Martin, the admiral's secre tary, landed by the Pigmy, and proceeded to the Admiralty forthwith with despatches. The Pigmy will go ow., again as soon as the weather moderates. The Monarch has been four ye.irs and a quarter in commission, and . will now be paid off. The Monarch s died from Valparaiso on the ith of February ; Rio on the 29th of March. The Mada gascar and Wasp were the only men-of-war at the latter port. The Industry steam transport was to Leave Rio on the day after the Monarch. The yellow fever still raged very fearfully among the shipping at Rio, but it was On the decr,a4e. Srverel of the merchant vessels there were completely 'de nuded of their fficers and crows by its ravages. The Monarch consequently made as. brief a stay at Rio as possible. The Istamboul screw steamer left Rio for England on the '23d of March. Captain Harris, British Charge d'Affdr,s at Chili, hs wife, family, and suite, have come home in the Monarch. Mr. John Parish Robertson, who embarked on board the Monarch at Valparriso for Eugland, died at Rio on ti.e day after the Monarch's arrival . there.

Bray's improved traction engine, tested at Wool wich about 10 days ago, laden with a single gun, was yesterday wor k e d a secon d time, dia:.ging threeold to d—namely, .thr-e heavy siege guns, weighing 19 tons 18 cwt. ..The convoy started from Woolwich Arsenal at 2 o'clock, and proceeded up Wellingtort-street towards Old Chariton, accom panied by Col. Tulloh, superintendent of the Royal Carriat2e Department, Capt. Boxer, Mr. Anderson, and other members of the select comm't'ee of the Royal Arsenal. Cgonel Sir Frederick Abbott, of Addiscombe, attended - on behalf the East India Iliard, and various agriculturists from \Vat-Tipp-- bury and Maidstone were likewise present. The route select:?d for the experiment branched off at Charlton, through a narrow winding tharOughfare, at the back of Sir Thomas Wdson's pa!k, andabave the elevation of the in,in road. The train was cleverly brought round and commenced the ascent, but in consequence of the obstruction of s b ta y n t d h s e ti b i te heavy rr jiee r n a x i it h - a ova:: been backed a quantity of loose sand and' gravel which had ino ru been o e d u r t i a ct y e d backed a coupe of yards, and the claws of the hind wheels distended so as to obtain a firmer grasp, the power of the machinery was exhibit ql to its fullest advantage. In less than five minutes' delay the obstacle was completely surmounted, and the lord was brought round a sacond curve into the Black heath road leading to the common. The steep acclivity at this point again stoppe I the engine, and it was judged beyond the utmost power of the en gine to proceed. Colonel Tulloh thereupon advised the disconnecting of the carriages which were coupled tag,ether, so as to pass with one at a time. By employing the whola p ewer of Aewit, however, the engine t!avelled steadily onward wiLli i s entire load, proceeding down Mill-lane and returned to the Arsenal, having performed the distance, about four miles, in 1 hour and 30 minutes. usual to steam engines, whichMiingreat disadvan tag() in pub!ic roads, is in this invention ingeni ously obviated by exhausting the steam in the water tank, thereby creating an economy in fuel, the con . sumption of which is eatculated at about 7d. per hour.

He con gratulated the shareholders on having got through the House of Commons with their Western Extol sion Bill after considerable opp isition, and trusted they would also succeed in carrying it through the House of Lords. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HOLUOYD, the s-cretary, then read the heads of two bills, one "for enabling the East K...nt Railway Company to extend ..their railway from &rood to join the Mid Kent Railway (Bromley to St. Mary Cray), and for other purposes connectEd with their undertaking." The object of the bill was to enable the East Kent Company to obtain an independent route from Dover, Canterbury; and other places, to the west-end of London. The other "to authorise the construction of a station near. Victoria-street, Pimlico, and of a railway to connect the same with the West-end of London and Crystal Palace Railway at Battersea, in order to afford improved communication between certain of the railways south of the Thames and the west (sin districts of the metropolis, and for other pur poise."

JUDICIAL DIGNITY IN LOUISIANA.

Another case was before the Court. Au overseer who had been dis charged brought suit against his employer for the whole year's wages, alleging that he had been dis charged without sufficient grounds. Old Ky charged the jury as follows-:-- 'The jury will take notice that this Court is well acquainted with the nature of the case.

MASSACRE AT A MISSIONARY STATION BY THE BOERS. r e (Front the Cape Argus of el pril 20.) A deplorable the F and ta b t l e oo a d n y d w t a h Basutu n r e hasatlast a queetion, which Si r G eorge Cl er k l e ft unse ttled on the disgraceful abando nmen t o f t h e sovere i g nty by the brokention. T out e h between British Government, and the organised system of thiev ing instituted by the B.,sutus in order to drive out the Boers from the territory claimed by both parties. Me sheet), the paramount chief of the Basutus, has tried in vain to put an end to this constant thieving, which affords but too plausible a pretext to the Boers for hos tilities. The real cause is the fierce desire to possess themselves of the lands of the natives, which the Boers consider have been given to them by God for a posses. :ion, and it is well known that this unrighteous war was resolved on two years ago by the Free State Volksraad, sitting with closed doors. Moshesh has several times appealed to the Governor of this colony to mediate or arbitrate, but without effect. The Cape Parliament also stands aloof. The truth is, any war is popular with the majority of colonists, which tends to secure more land for the whites, and to break up the black races. Cape colonists are directly interested in this war, ter there is a constant emigration of our best settlere going on from the co'ony to the Free State caused partly by the aversion to the Government, or rather to its vacillating policy. The Governor seems to have committed him • self to the policy indicated above, and is supposed to regard, if not with satisfaction, at any rats with indifference, the deeds of spoliation and murder now taking place just beyond our birders. If the war continues any length of time, the colony must become involved in it. All that has been done to prevent this, is the issue of a proclamation, forbidding colo nial subjects from crossing the Orange River, though no measures that have come to light have been taken to prevent them, bat, on the contrary, insidious atempts are being made, by spreading false reports, to induce the Basutus within celental limits to criminate them selves, by participating in the war, apparently with the object of being down upon them if they do so. A large party of the mounted police force, under Commandant Currie, is watching their movements. But nothing will, probably, prevent the partisans within the colony, of both parties, from going to assist their countrymen. The war commenced by the Boers, by order of President Boshof, attacking and sacking the French missionary . station of Beersheba, within the Free State boundaries, and massacreing its unoffending inhabitants. A great quantity of cattle and other property wa s cap t e red. Various collisions and reprisals have taken place, gene. rally resulting in favour of the Boers, and in considerable loss of life to the Basutus ; but the main forces on either side have not yet come into contact. The Beers are concentrating with the intention of attacking Mostiesh near his stronghold of Thaba Bossiou. The Basutus are numerically strong, but they are a peaceful and un warlike people, very different from the frontier Kafir, and both intelligent and industrious, and far from bar barous. If something be not shortly done for them, they will be destroyed. All this comes of the shamefel want of faith on the part of the British Government towards native tribes, which it undertook to protect and after wards abandoned. The field-pieces used at Beersheba were, we believe, presents made by Sir G. Clerk, and others are daily expected, which Sir G. Grey undertook to send home for, for his friend Boshof. A large order for gunpowder, lead, and muskets has been received in the colony from the Free State, but the unfortunate Basutus are not allowed to have an ounce. All this is called non-interference. The philanthropists have not yet begun to lift up their eyes and hands in pious horror at these iniquities ; it will be time enough for that when the Bee utu s h ave no thi ng l e ft t o lose, and are reduced to a condition worse than slavery.
