On Monday evening, when ifr:oreenwood was about to leave the Clerkenwell Police-court, Sergeant Allen. 21 N division, informed the magistrate that he had made inquiries of Mr. Haines, surgeon, of the Liverpool-road, Islington. and was informed by that gentleman that Mrs. Haines, of Paradise-terrace, who had been so bar barously treated by George Wilmot, in his attempt to murder and rob her, was in so dangerous a state, that he suggested the necessity of the magistrate's immediate at tendance at her residence, to take her deposition. De lirium might take place within twelve hours of that time, and death might ensue. Mr. Greenwood, at six o'clock in the evening, arrived at the cottage of Mrs. Haines, who was found lying in bed, in a most deplorable condition. The cottage is situated in a most solitary place, a long, dark, and dismal alley leading from the Liverpool-road to Pocock's fields, adjacent to the spot where the late Mr. Temple man was murdered, and at the northern extremity of the road. Mr. Greenwood, Mr. Haines, the surgeon, the various officers, and our reporter were admitted into the apart ment where Mrs. Haines was lying, and every arrange ment having been made, the prisoner was brought in, in the custody of Mr. Duke, and placed at the foot of the bedstead, where he had a clear view of Mrs. Haines, who viewed him with evident terror, whilst he seemed to shun her and turn aside. -Mr. Greenwood administered the usual oath to her, when he inquired whether she knew the name of the prisoner? Mrs. Haines (faintly)—l believe his name is Wilmot. In answer to further questions, she replied as follows: —He formerly kept this house. On Saturday evening last, between five and six o'clock, I was alone in the par• lour getting . my husband's supper ready, when I heard a tap at the window. The door was fastened. It was very dark. I went to the window, and inquired, " Who is there?" The prisoner replied, "It is mc." I said, " Halloo, master, is it you; is anybody with you?" He said, "No, I am alone." I opened the door. He en tered and placed his back against it. He said, I want a bit of paint if your husband has got a bit to give me. I said he bas got none, and asked him to sit down. He said he had been over to Newington to pay the interest of some things which were in pledge. I told him if he had mentioned that to us before we would have given him some money. I asked him to have some tobacco. He took some. There was an iron candlestick on the table with a lighted candle. Ile smoked about five minutes. He said, you will be too late with your husband's supper. I got up to put the meat in the saucepan. I turned round and was going towards the fireplace when I heard the , prisoner's footsteps behind me. I turned round and he looked very pale. I felt very much frightened when suddenly the light disappeared, and I felt a tremendous blow on my head. I screamed" Murder," and he struck me with some instrument on the head, which cut me six or seven times. He struck me repeatedly on the head. I must have received upwards of a dozen blows. I had my bonnet on at the time. He got me into the corner of the room, and beat me on the head; he caught me by the throat, and I thought he would have killed me. The prisoner, who seemed quite perturbed and agitated, here turned pale, walked about, exclaiming, " Oh, dear! oh, dear;" at length he seated himself on a trunk in the room, and hid his-face in his hat, stooping down. Witness—l struggled with him, and got his head under my arm, and I had strength enough left to drag him to the door, and opened it. I cried " Murder" as well as I could, when he ran off, leaving me insensible. Mr. Greenwood—Did he ever talk to you of money, as if he wished to fish out of you whether you carried money about you ? Witness—On Friday night he called and he asked how we thought we should pass onr Christ mas. I told him my husband had resolved on going into the country to see his father and mother,. and it would cost him 5/. About a month ago my cousin was robbed. He said he was surprised we had not been robbed. I told him there was no fear of that, as I always carried my money in my pockets. I occasionally lent the pri soner money, a sovereign at a time, because we thought he had met with misfortunes. Mr. Greenwood—Did he say anything while he was beating you ? Witness—He never said a word from the first to the last. My shoulders, my stays, and all my clothes were soaked with blood. My nose bled very much. Mr. Greenwood inquired if the prisoner wished to ask the _witness- any questions ? Prisoner (tremulously) — Ask her if she said anything to me about any man that used to czll here. Witness—l never did say anything about the man. Prisoner—Ask her if she never said she would give information to the parish officers that I had deserted my wife, and cause my arrest. Witness—l never did anything of the kind. Prisoner—Ask her if she did not seize me by the throat. Mr. Mould (to Mrs. Haines)—l suppose you "consi dered it a death-struggle to save your life?' Mrs. Haines —I did so. She added, the first blow he struck her was on the front of the head. She here became very weak, and her examination was closed. _ _ The prisoner was then conveyed to the House of Cor rection, under the commitment of the magistrate. It was yesterday reported that Mrs. Haines was still in a very dangerous state. The prisoner is said to have been formerly a lieutenant in the navy ; he is about five feet four inches high, thin, pale, and 55 years of age. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Elizabeth Wood, the wife of Benjamin Wood, a City policeman, was brought before the Lord Mayor for final examination, upon the charge of having wounded her husband, with intent to kill and murder him. Benjamin Wood, who had been in St. Thomas's Hos pital in consequence of a wound inflicted upon him up wards of a month ago, stated that on the 14th of Octo ber he was living with his wife in Talbot street, Grace church-street; that at a quarter past one o'clock he had his uniform on, and was ready to go on duty, and ho complained to his wife about his dinner not being ready. They had a few words about it, and he put on his hat to go out, and as he was going towards the door, sho threw a knife at him, which struck him in the throat, but he did not think she throw it at him intentionally to wound him. Ho then felt tho blood running down, and it was streaming about the floor ; and he ran down stairs to Dr. Smith's, and was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, where he had been ever since. lle did not recollect that he had made use of any threat towards her. He thought she had sat down to her dinner, and he thought she had the knife in her hand at the time. He did not think she had picked it up purposely to throw at him. Lord, he took up his truncheon to truth. All the rest he has said is the, I never meant to . answer to a question from the The witness said, in n id not recollect whether or not he strike hempreiswointhert. hurt . s band at the time, unless he was had his truncheon in 1- his pocket. in the act of putting it in assistant-surgeon at St. Thomas's Mr. F.

I thought he intended striking me, and I thought I saw the truncheon coining down with his hand. I had no intention of striking him with the knife, nor did I know I had done so until I saw him stoop ; I saw the blood, and I was frightened, and I halloed out " Murder." He told me not to hallo, and he put his hand up as well as one of mine, and a man and woman c ame up, and took the truncheon front his hand as he stood bleeding. I never intended to do it, I'm sure. The Loan MAYOR—Prisoner, you have got yotn:self by your passionate temper into very serious trouble. It is my duty to commit you for trial. You can represent t 11059 things which you have stated to me upon your trial, but you stand committed for having made the as sault with the intent to commit murder. The priioner again solemnly declared that she never had a thought of injuring her husband, and handed in several letters, which she said she had received from her husband since the melancholy occurrence. She was then committed for trial. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

PRISONS 'AND PRISONERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—lnvestigation on this all-important subject, so materially affecting the community, serves only to prove the urgant-rfecessity Or- a comprehensive -Idegialativd measure, which, I am happy to find from Sir GeorgC Grey, is at this moment occupying the serious attention of the Government. Having lately inspected the prisons of France and Bel gium, I find the system of employment in prison not only defrays the expenses of the gaol, but a portion is reserved for the prisoner on his leaving, which, with further rewards offered by the State, has reduced the number of those who return to crime from 60 to 10 per cent. I find the moral feeling there is not so strong against the prisoner as in England, which proves the great necessity here for shelter and employment, which will be the means of reinstating them twain in honest courses, instead of continuing tenants of prisons for our life. On visiting Scotland, last week, I was glad to hear from the Lord Provost of Edinburgh that he bad com municated with Government on the subject, and such was the effect of repeated prosecutions of the same indi vidual that they are now building another gaol in that city. On inspecting the prison there, I found it full, containing 400, and seeing 200 female prisoners, I asked the Governor and Matron how many of the number had " ALL of them had EDI REPEATEDLY." b be e e e n n t t h h ere er e b ef e o f r o e r , e a?ndT MA reply m y Or w T a Nothing could prove a stronger ease than this, which demands an effectual remedy. It is gratifying to find that the public mind, as well as the Legislature, have beon awakened to the crying evil; and whilst there is an acre of uncultivated land—whilst so many public works are going on —whilst our colonies and territory are extending—whilst there is so great a demand for LABOUR—We ought not to permit our prison population to continue tenants for life, but instead of al lowing so demoralizing and so expensive a system to exist, give them the means of redeeming their charac ter by shelter and voluntary employment, which many will gladly avail themselves of ; and thus will we re duce the number of our prisons and prisoners, and re store many to usefulness, instead of permitting them to remain curses to soc i a ety . I m, yours, obliged, JOHN LAURIE. N0v.14, 1846. 1, Hyde Park -place, HAMBURGH MAIL. -- --- BERLIN, Nov. B.—lt is now positively asserted that the taxes due from July to September, which are usually required to be paid in the month of December, need not be paid on this occasion till March next year. Consi dering the present scarcity of money, this delay is cer tainly entitled to gratitude. We are able to state on good authority that the punishment of the bastinado is entirely excluded from the new draught of the penal code. It may be recol lected what opposition this punishment met with in most of the Provincial Assemblies when the draught was first laid before them, and that only two of these assem blies were in favour of retaining. it. This news will, therefore, undoubtedly give great satisfaction. CENTRAL ERMANY IN NOVEMBER.—WhiIe the atten: tion of the German people, and of the German press, was turned exclusively to the affair of Sleswig Holstein, an event which seems worthy of serious consideration has passed almost unnoticed. We mean the resolution of the First Chamber in Baden in favour of the press. If the Second Chambers in Germany have hitherto peti tioned for the freedom of the press, this can create no surprise ; but it is a very novel and significant occur ence that a First Chamber, consisting of the most aristocratic and conservative elements of the country, declares its opinion that the censorship is forbidden by the Act of the Confederation, and that, on the contrary, the liberty of the press is to be considered as an original right of the German nation. We content our selves at present with this notice, and would willingly hope that the time is not far off which will lead to the fulfilment of the promises held out in the 18th article of the Act of the Confederation. • ZELLE, Nov. 9.—lt is said that the Princess Theresa of Altenburg is betrothed to his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia. POLISII FRONTIERS, Nov. 3. The report that the Republic of Cracow is to become entirely Austrian again is repeated, and more positively than before. Nothing transpired respecting the manner in which this incorpo ration with Austria will take place, without violating existing conventions. It is thought that the plan would have long since been carried into effect had not the declaration in the French Chambers and the English Parliament interfered. That the idea is not wholly given up is proved by the silence of the Aus trian official press. M. Westenholy, the banker, is said to have undertaken se vera l financial operations, with a view to the execution of this plan. y ST.

TIMES.—The last advices received from America confirm the impression that was made upon our minds some weeks ago. Combined with the accounts which are almost daily arriving from different parts of Europe, and our o ern provincial markets, they remove the ex treme alarm which once prevailed, lest the supply of food during the ensuing year should be insufficient for the wants of this country. This supply may, indeed, fall below that of our more abundant seasons, but there seems no reason for supposing that its contraction will be sensibly or universally felt. In every market through out the kingdom prices have been receding, in obedience to the only law which can influence them—the law ce supply and demand. Indeed, at the present moment there is far less cause for apprehending-that we are or, the eve of a general dearth, than that the Engli.h far• mere, fielding themselves jostling together thus early it, the excitement of an unwonted competition, may crowd their produce prematurely into the market, and thus deprive themselves of the advantage which a more politic reservation would insure to them through. out . the year. It is the interest no less of the public than of the producer that the available supply of grain should be diffused as equally as possible through the twelvemonth, and that buyers should not have to compensate the cheapness of December or January by an extravagant dearness in July or August. We shall of course be well pleased to find the present prices ruling till the summer; and there seems little reason for supposing that they will hereafter exceed this amount, unless they are now reduced below their proper standard by the agitation of real or pretended alarm. Notwith standing the quantities of wheat and flour imported from the United States, we learn from correspondents of knowledge and judgment, including the " Genevese Traveller," that there still remains behind a considerable proportion ready for exportation. That there is little cause to fear the effect of high prices on the other side of the Atlantic, or of a 4s. duty on this, may be inferred from the fact that, though on the arrival of the last steamer flour rose from 50 to 75 cents. per barrel, yet it soon afterwards sunk 30 cents. A depreciation of this kind has only one solution—abundance. And we are confident that although the corn harvests of the United States might be insufficient to repair the cala mity of a general European dearth, yet that, with the present amount of our home-grown produce, England can derive more than she absolutely wants, or is likely to want this year, from the western states of North America. That this consummation is very far opposed to that which we once anticipated, we readily admit. But if we plead guilty to the charge of having conceived unreasonable fears or uttered false predictions, we may likewise claim the merit of having in some degree brought about the falsification of our apprehensions. For we believe that it is 'in part owing to the representations which we ourselves put forth, in accordance with fears unfounded, indeed, but at the time very general, that we may attribute the extra ordinary efforts recently made to transmit grain from the interior of North America to the coast. And to these representations also is in some measure owing the stimulus recently given to the shipping employed in the European corn trade. Consequences like these more than atone for the precedent error, and, to our minds, outweigh a thousand sneers about in consistency and vacillation. Two facts should be con tinually borne in mind. The most curious phenomenon of the present deficiency is, that it is a deficiency of the coarser grains. Wheat is comparatively plentiful in England, and more than usually good. It is of the com moner and coarser kinds of food that the yield has either been unhealthy or insufficient. The same analogy holds with respect to France. This is the first fact. The second is, that Ireland, rather than England, is affected by the dearth. This is only a consequence of the pre ceding proposition. The poor crops that have failed are the Irish food. Had there been no Ireland at all, we should never have heard of famine in England. The price of wheat might have risen in consequence of exportations to other parts of Europe. But it has risen through the natural reaction of conti guous misery upon comparative competence. One part of a nation cannot suffer severely without affect ing the other partially. One kind of sustenance cannot become dear or scarce without raising, though not to the same extent, the price of another. And this dearness will continue, and finally be aggravated, until a substitute be found for that species of food which is tem porarily lost. England apprehended the famine which Ireland suffered. Wheat grew dear because potatoes had become so. The Indian corn, which is the only available substitute for the potato, was at first so par tially and scantily supplied as to have become in Ireland dearer than wheat itself. Hence • the reaction on our markets in this country. But the worst features of the crisis have changed for the better. The influx of Indian corn has of late been very considerable. A great re duction in its price may, therefore, be calculated on; and this can be effected without loss to the importer, as the price may fall very much below its recent height, and yet leave a profit to the seller. Nor shall we fail to per ceive the effects of this change in England. As long as the price of Indian corn was so high and seemed likely to continue so high in Ireland, there was •an appearance of harshness in keeping up the duty on foreign wheat It was only an appear ance. The abolition of the duty would not have brought food to the mouths of a dozen Irish families. Still it looked hard; and persons of soft hearts and not !very logical heads were very indignant at the notion of ;paying a duty of 4s. on wheat in England, while their ,fellow-subjects were starving on untaxed meal in Ireland. !But now there is, wo hope, an end oven to the pretext ;for such indignation. The Irishman is likely to obtain his substitute for potatoes cheaper than heretofore, even if he do not save a remnant from the supposed failure of !his usual crop. And we hope that he is also beginning to earn the price of his daily food. Ile has been too long indulging the delusive theory that, in periods of scarcity, a Government is bound to complicate its other ,embarrassments by giving a multitude of people wages for doing nothing. This is a most fatal error—more fatal to the donees than the donors of such gratuitous 'stipend. But the recent measures of the Lord-Lieu- ' tenant, and the more general disposition of the peasantry to engage in task-work, give earnest of a most desirable improvement both in their habits and their condition. And we see no reason why—if Indian corn does not again become too dear, and the present' rate of wages continuos—this year of dearth should not be an era of new prosperity to every man in Ireland. CHRONICLE.— Our contemporary, the Morning ' Post, edified its readers yesterday with a very minute : 'description of the dissensions by which, according to its 'representation, the present Ministry is distracted. Our tcontemporary's remarks evince a degree of good nature ) towards a portion of the Cabinet, and indeed a kind of approbation of it as a whole, vhich may obtain a certain ;amount of attention for its disclosures. The Post com mences its exposition of the most minute and secret details of Cabinet discussion by expressing its ignorance l er " how such circumstances transpire ; . and certainly t is not very easy to conceive how such circumstances i should transpire, seeing that the information, if correct, must proceed from parties sworn not to disclose it. The Post, however, declares it to be certain that " in quarters not likely to be misinformed, and among per sons not likely to be the dupes of mere conjecture, a conviction exists that the present Ministry is split into bpposing sections, and that there is scarcely any one subject urn which a cordial unanimity of sentiment exists." Ye can likewise declare, with at least as nuch assurance as our contemporary, " that. in quar ters not likely to be misinformed, and among persons not likely to be the dupes of mere conjecture, a convic tion exists"—that there is no truth, or semblance of truth, in the statement which ho has so positively and ircumstantially put forth. The Post, or its informant, n the exercise of a lively imagination, has conjured up visions of sharp and incessant contentions between the two Noble Lords who fill respectively the offices of Fo reign and Colonial Secretary. Such visions, we believe, have not the slightest foundation of fact to support them. We havo no fear of being considered the " dupes of mere conjecture" in concluding that when public men of Character have so far put an end to former disagree- Lents as to sit in Cabinet together, they must have anished from their minds all such wretched feelings of rivalry as those which the Post describes as in active existence. We have no hesitation in stating it to be dur entire conviction that such rivalries and dissensions as the Morning Post describes do not exist, and have not existed amongst Ministers since the formation of the present Government. The Post, however, has this ex cuse fur its mistake, that the Peel Cabinet, of Welch it as once a cordial supporter, was divided and ultimately , stroyed by internal dissensions. After the laint..,table perience of that Administration, we cannot wonder e i ; that the spectre of a disunited Government should now linunt the imagination of our contemporary. AA'far as o r knowledge goes, however, we can offer him the con s lotion of which he is evidently desirous. Let loin, Ly a 1 means, banish his apprehensions, for there is not the s ightest reason for believing that there is, or has been, anything in the discussions of the Cabinet in the least dbgree inconsistent with its being, as our contemporary wishes to see it, " firm, united, and vigorous." 1 c oUICIDE AT THE CHAIN PIER, BRIGIITON.---011 Monday evening, at dusk, a neatly-dressed woman was mien walking about the promenade at the pier -head, in a manner to excite some notice ; but as her demeanour afterwards became somewhat calM, that notice was not long continued. half an hour later she was discovered by a son of Mr. 0. Cooper, clerk to the Pier Company, outside the rails, her back towards the town, and holding bj the rails with her hands, which were placed bellied her. Imagining from her position that she was preparing to drown herself, Mr. Cooper crept stealthily to the spot, and was in the act of seising her clothes, when she sprung into the water. The alarm bell was immediately rung, the life .boat was lowered, and search was made for the tidy with drags for several hours, but without success. In the morning it was found on the beach, near the Albion Ibtel, and conveyed to the Town-hall. When tin it seen, the deceased had a small basket, which, with her bonnet and a handkerchief, she placed on a scat on the pier before leaping into the water. Iler age is judged at, about 24 ; and her dress resembles that of a servant, b is very neat. She is no t I. n ow n; and neith er in the b !cat nor in her poclietg wail anything found by which inrrormution as to her identity could be gleaned.

By the ship Mary Anne, which has arrived at Ports mouth, we have received Cape of Good Hope papers to the sth September. The following extracts from the Graham's Town Journal of Sept. 5, give the latest intel ligence of the seat of war in liafirland FRONTIER AFFAIRS.—EVENTS OF THE WEER'. MONDAY.—Received information to-day that Captain Hogg, at the head of a force 'of about 1,000 infantry, chiefly Hottentots and Fingoes, and acting in conjunc tion with a Burgher force under the Field-Commandant Van Wyk, and a detachment of the 45th Regitaent, under command of Captain Seagram from the `Parka. Post, had made a successful inroad into the Tambookie country, capturing upwards of 4,000 head of cattle, and killing some forty or fifty of the enemy. The loss on our side is thirteen li'ingoes killed, and a few wounded. The official dispatches, giving a detail of these opera tions, were immediately published in the shape of an Extra to our last number, together with the following observations:— It is with peculiar satisfaction we give publicity to the official dispatches above, detailing a successful movement by Captain Hogg, 7th Dragoon Guards, with his native force, on the Tambookie country. In ordinary times the capture of 4,000 head of cattle would not be to the colony a matter of very high importance ; but at the present juncture, when the army is actually crippled for I beasts of burthen, and when provisions are becoming daily so scarce, and withal so indifferent, this capture is of considerable moment, and may be hailed, notwith standing our loss of life, as among the most fortunate events we have had. yet to record. Captain Hogg ap pears to have conducted this enterprise with good judg ment and gallantry, and to have been ably supported by those co-operating with him. If there NI any exception to this it is in reference to the Fingoes, and these it seems to have been impossible to keep within the tram mels of military discipline. They appear to have suffered severely for their imprudence, and it may be hoped have been taught a lesson which may here after be of great use to them. Many, as well in other corps as among the Fingoes are apt to think very lightly of discipline—and, where there is not any deter mined resistance made, its importance may not bo very manifest—but let any of our di►isions sustain a reverse, let difficulties arise, and danger become imminent—and then will be seen and felt the advantage of having a body of men who have been trained to obey orders, who can bo depended on to act in 'concert, and who, like a piece of well-regulated machinery, move with that regu larity and precision which ensures the most perfect at tainment of a desired end. It will be gratifying also for the public to know that the chief Stock has been ordered to Fort Peddie, where he is to remain as a prisoner of war, and to subsist at his own expense. This is worthy of note, and is of public importance, as being an indication of firmness at head quarters. No mistaken humanity in dealing with these people can be for a moment tolerated. We say mistaken humanity, inasmuch as every act of unmerited leniency on our part will be misinterpreted, and will be sure to result in further mischief. It is the height of folly to lay the flattering unction to cur soul that the Kafirs have any innate love for the white man. Our intimacy with them has unfortunately neither won their esteem nor their respect. There may be exceptions to this, but if so they are few and far between, and hence we must deal with them, not as we would fain find them, but as they actually are—as utterly faithless in their profes sions, and as audaciously dishonest in their practices. They must be dealt with in such a way as that they may feel the consequences of their own misdoings, and be unmistakingly assured that " honesty is the best policy.' It would be an act of folly were the British public to pay ultimately one sixpence of the expenses of the pre sent war, unless in failure of means on the part of the aggressors. Every war which may be provoked, as this has been, from mere lust of plunder and rapine, should be defrayed by those who are the cause of it. This would not be a difficult matter, it would be in accordance with justice and international law, and in the long run would prove to be by far the most humane policy that could be adopted in our dealings with the native tribes of this country. By making, for instance, the forfeiture of land the penalty of aggression, and acting firmly upon that prin. ciple, you at once enlist the native clans or tribes on the side of peace, at least as regards the colony. The main. tenance of their own authority, and the preservation of their territorial possessions, would serve as the strongest inducements that could be presented to the mind of a na tive, to guard him constantly and vigilantly against every thing that would lead to his being deprived of either. In the case of the frontier Kafirs, the loss of their territory, which must now be considered as absolutely forfeited, will have an astounding moral effect throughout the whole of South Airiest, and will do more for the preser vation of peace, and towards the civilisation of the bar barous tribes within the circle of British influence than any other means, however plausible, that could possibly be adopted. This groat and good work is new about to be commenced—it is the beginning of a new era, and one that is fraught with momentous consequences, not merely to this country, but to the whole civilised world. From Waterloo Bay we have information up to yes terday (Monday) morning. Her Majesty's ship Apollo, with the 73d Regiment, arrived there about noon on Saturday, and though blowing a gale at the time, came to her anchorage in gallant and beautiful style. Captain Salmond, who has the honour of being the first who landed there, and whose vessel has given a name to the place, immediately went off to her, accompanied by Mr. W. Stanton, a visitor from Fort Beaufort, and who was put on board the Waterloo, then 13ing at anchor in the bay. Captain Salmond however proceeded to the Apollo, where, as the gale continued to freshen, ho re mauled all night. On Sunday, though the weather had moderated, yet from the heavy swell of the sea it was not thought advisable to commence the landing. As, however, the weather was particularly fine yester day, there can be little doubt but the men are now ashore and in camp at that important point. In striking contrast to this it may be stated, that the men of the 45th, whO were landed at Algoa Bay on the 13th inst., are still toiling hither over the rugged roads which mark the intervening country. In the mean time the enemy has presented himself almost daily at Water loo Bay, threatened the supplies, swept cif the Govern ment draft cattle, dared the handful of men there to come on, fired into the camp at night, and crossing the river, swept off, amongst more petty depredations, 100 head of cattle belonging to one individual. We know not who is responsible for the landing of these troops so far from where they were required, but to those on the spot, and who are aware of the urgent necessity for their services on the immediate frontier, it appears to be, to say no thing of the toil to the men, as strange a proceeding as any that has yet come under public notice. A " Garri son Order" has been issued that on the arrival of this regiment at Graham's Town, they are not to halt there, but continue their "route to the mouth of the Fish River, and to which point Major O'Reilly, the Commandant here,,proceeded yesterday morning, for the purpose of personally attending to the debarkation of the 73d Regiment, and to make such arrangements as circum stances may appear to render necessary under the cir cumstances. It is currently reported in town to-day, that Umhala has followed the example of Stock, and surrendered him self to the British authorities ; and it is also affirmed that Creli has made some pacific overtures, offering to give up the colonial cattle in his territory. These re ports, however, want confirmation. Some of the Burgher levies are, it is said, discharged, and about to return home. OFFICIAL DIS PA TCHES.. Head (;carters, Camp, Buffalo I'oort, Aug. 28, 1846. His Excellency the Governor and Commander-in- Chief publishes the following dispatches, relating to ope rations in the \Viudvogelberg, in which the conduct of Captain Hogg who commanded, and of the officers and men employed in those operations, bus been highly sa tisfactory : FortCox,Aug. 25, 1146, 10 A.M. Sir,—l have much satisfaction in transmitting to you for the Commander-in-Chief's information, a letter just recived from Captain Hogg, detailing his operations on the Windvogclberg, with the force which I datached from this post under that officer's command, on tile 16th instant. _ Captain Hogg having communicated with Mr: Fynn at the Tarka, it was agreed that a force consisting of as many of the 45th as could be spared, with a mixture of Fingoes and Kama's Kafirs, with the Boers under Field- Commandant Protorious, should proceed from the Tarka side to co-operate with. Captain Hogg's force, and to be joined by the Klip Plat Hottentots from Shiloh. Captain Seagram, of the 45th, having been joined in the morning by Field-Commandant Van Wyk, pro. ceeded at once to the kraal where the murderers of Mr. Aldum resided, killed nine Kalira, and destroyed it, taking 200 head of cattle. Next day Captain Seagram proceeded towards Mapassa's kraal, having been on that day joined by Field-Commandant Pretorius. This party had a smart skirmish with the enemy, killing several of them, and putting the rest to flight. The Klip Hat Hot tentots and Fingoes, who had received orders to station themselves between the two forces, disobeyed that order and went to plunder, attacking some Kafir kraals, kill ing fourteen of the enemy, and taking several cattle ats horses. Tho consequence of their disobedience . of the order they received, and having betaken themselves . to. plunder as stated, was their being attac ked in thiss porsed state by a number of Katirs , and, after a sharp th fight, driven back to Shiloh, with the loss of thirteen or their number and nearly all the cattle they had taken. Several of the enemy also fell in this affair. Captain Hogg having entered the Riot River Valley with his force, succeeded in capturing four thous a n d head of cattle, killing six of the enemy, and proceAed next morning a ith the captured cattle to Shiloh. (Zap. thi n nogg speaks in terms of high approbation a u Le conduct of the parties under Lieutenant Hunter of t,1 4 , Swellendam Native Infantry, and Field-Comman,.tan t Van Wyk, who, after a sharp fight, killed thirty of th e enemy. Captain Hogg having united his force to that of Cap. • tain Seagram, returned to Shiloh—the whole of then operations having been successfully and well executed v I the space of five days from the departure of the fora a under the former officer from Fort Cox. Although not mentioned in CaPtainilogg's dispa 11, //, I learn from a private letter, that Mapoma, the his (toter in the murder of Mr. Aldum, is now a prisoner a,t the Tarka. Captain Hogg; having selected from four to five hundred oxen for the use of the troops, and brought them to Eiland's River Post, where they remain to be distributed where most required, the remainder of the cattle captured being mostly cows, have been divided amongst the Boers and the Kafirs of Kama and Henna nus. Many of the oxen are recognised as those captured at Burn's llill. Captain Hogg reports Sir Andreas Stockenstrom's waggons as being at the foot of the Windvogleberg, which renders it probable that Sir An dreas intends returning that way. Captain Hogg has sent Field Captain Ayliff to the Chief Umterara to ascertain what part he means to take in the contest. Of Mr. Ayliff, Captain Hogg speaks in terms of high approbation. The zealous and energetic conduct of Captain Hol 4 ; throughout these operations speaks for itself ; and lemves nothing further for me to observe upon than to recora • mend that officer in the strongest manner to Ins Ext,el leney's notice. I would alto beg to draw his Execl lency 's attention to the ready retainer in which Curtain Seagram of the 45th Regiment co-operated with Captain Hod from the moment of his arrival in that district. I have the honour to be, Sir, Sm. J. E, Lieutenant-Colon e l Cloethe, K.11., H AR Deputy- ColoneL Quarter-Waster -General. of odfi v ihs his io n o l n our Col Eiland's Riv er , S un d ay, Aug. 23, 1846. ingt o commanding t e directions t he s t Sir,—l have th e h onour to inform you, that accord- Windvogel- berg, arri v i ng at the foot of it on the proceeded onel to lla t r h e e second day from Fort Cox, late in the evenin g. I rode in the ni g ht t o Shil o h, sending messenger sifrom thence to the Tarka to inform th e resident agent of the intended attack upon Mapassa, and also to secture the co-operation of Captain Seagram. It was proposed that his force, consisting of as many of the 45th as could be spared, and a mixture of Fingoes and Kama's Kafirs should enter from the Tarka side, with the Boers under Field-Commandant Pretorius ; that the Klip Pleat get tentots, and a few Fingoes and Boers, should tak'e up their station on a commanding point in the centre, and wait in observation ; and that my force should enter by the valley through which the Riet River runs, passing round the south east point of the Windvogel-berg, being joined in the morning by the Boers under Commandant Van Wyk. Captain Seagram, furnished with. guides by Mr. Fynn marched straight upon the kraal where the murderers of Mr. Aldum resided, killed nine Kafirs, and destroyed it, taking about 400 head of cattle, as many as he thought it was possible for him to manage. The next day ho proceeded onwards towards Mapassa's kraal, had a sharpe skirmish with the enemy, killing several, without loss on his side. and putting them to flight. Field-Commandant Pretorius was present on this occa sion, having only joined on the second day. The Klip Mat Hottentots and Fingoes stationed between the two forces, with orders to wait, disobeyed that order, and attacked several kraals, killing some thirteen or four teen of the enemy, and taking cattle snd horses. They then seem to have dispersed to plunder in every direction. The Kafirs collected in the neighbour hood come down upon them, and after a sharp fight, is which thirteen of the Shiloh people were killed, they were driven back, and nearly all the cattle retaken from them. Several of the enemy fell also in this affair. This disaster was entirely occasioned by this party not at tending to the orders given them. My force entering the abovementioned valley, took 4,000 head of cattle, killing six of the enemy, and took up a position for the night on the Riet River. The next morning drove to Shiloh—the Boers under Commandant Van Wyk on our right flank. We accomplished this operation with scarcely any resistance on the part of the enemy. At. one point of the line of march they mustered on a stony ridge about 80 horsemen, and about 150 on foot; bR$ not more than thirty of the Swollendam infantry, acting as flankers under Lieutenant Hunter, drove them from it in the most gallant manner, pursued them o v er a flat to a still stronger . position, whisk they at tempted to occupy, and drove them from it in like manner, killing and wounding several. We arrived at Shiloh on the fifth day from Fort Cox. The next day I marched and joined Captain Sea gram; wo united, and returned together to Shiloh. I have selected from 400 to 500 of the best oxen for the use of the Ist Division, and firought them down to this place. The rest have been distributed, being nearly all cows, to the Boers, llermanus' and Kama , s Kafirs, &c. Captain Sutton will allow them to remain till an escort is slant for them from Fort Cox, which I trust will be dote immediately, as there is no grass, giving the escort, con s;sting of 500 men, a day's rest here. I shall proceed back to Shiloh, and resume operations against Mapassa. I sent MR Ayliff to communicate with Umtiliaka, and to find out what part he intends to take in the contest. From this gentleman I have received the greatest as sistance. The force is somewhat fatigued with the hard work of collecting and driving cattle—the former not a very easy affair in an open country for infanta'. His Honour having kindly given me so many men, I can hardly as for more ; but this country is full of horses, which the foot men are unable to take, and a few cavalry would he of the greatest assis tance. We are also in want of flint ammunition. There is a gun at the Tarka, which, should horses be sent up for it, would in this open easy country be very effective. All the Gaika cattle are on the Bulota, we hear, and Sir Andreas Stockenstrom's waggons are under the Wind:: vugeliverg. Many of the cattle taken are recognised is , having been in the waggons at B u r n ' s Hill, an d n u m b ers I as ColoniaL I forgot to mention that Van Wyk's Boers had a very hard fight on our right flank—l believe with the Kafirs repulsed by Lieut. Hunter—and killed about 30 of them, but were obliged to relinquish some of their horses, which were knocked up. There is forage at the Tarka, but very little flint ammunition. The Boers' horses are too poor for them to be able to exert themselves much. Sir Andreas Stockenstrom's people, who are with the waggonF, sent to Shiloh for slaughter oxen; as none were there procurable, I sent them thirty. I have se cured also about fifty pack-oxen for the use of the troops, which will bo of great service in carrying provi sions, &0., and I hope to send his Honour a good ac count of Dlapassa and his cattle. Hoping that he will approve of what has been done, and that he will be sa tisfied with the exertions of all the troops employed, which have been great. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, W. S. HOGG, Capt. 7th Dr. Grds. HEALTH OF LONDON.—On Monday afternoon a deputation from the health of London Association waited on the Lord Mayor, at tbo Mansion house, with a resolution passed at a mcetirg of the association. The resolution was, in effect, to invite his Lordship to become president of the institution. The deputation consisted of the Rev. Mr. Lusignan, Dr. Jordan Lynch, Dr. Hector Gavin, Thomas Abraham, Esq., Hyde Clarke, Esq., and others. Mr. Lusignan laid before his Lordship the objects of the association, which are of a philan thropic character. Tho Lord Mayor received the deputation veey courteously, but expressed his regret that the numerous engagements to which he was bound by his office precluded the possibility of his complying with the request of the association. His Lordship stela that he would bo happy to assist the association in any other wits. Tux PARISH OF ST. PAUL, COYENT•GARDEN, AND THE COMMISSIONERS OF WOODS IND FORESTS.—TIIO announcement of the fact that it is th 4 intention of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to compel the parishioners of St. Paul, Covent-garden, to contribute largely to the expenses of constructing the projected new street from Cranbourne-street to New -street, C ovent garden, has excited some sensation in the latter piorish, and measures are now being adopted for offering the most determined opposition to the measure. In the first place, the parishioners of St. Paul, Covent-garden com plain that they should be made to contribute, under any circumstances, to-the expenses of carrying out what they maintain to be a great public, not local imiorovenient, when they know that the coat of all the other contem plated metropolitan improvements ate to be paid out of the public money. But what, they say, very materially aggravates their case, is the fact, that though about two thirds of the intended new street will be in the parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, the ratepayers there are not to be asked to advance one single sixpence towards the necessary funds. The parishioners of St. Paul's aro to be saddled with a large portion of the expenses which will be incurred in carrying out the contemplated im provements, by means of a parochial rate of Gd. in the pound, to be levied by the overseers of the parish. The tate would have been much heavier but for the princely contribution of 10,0001. which the Duke of Bedford has just intimated his intention of making towards the ex penses of the intended improvements. The parish is in a state of great excitement on the subject, and a requisi tion is already in course of signature, calling-on the vestry to get up a public meeting without delay, in oraor that the ratepayers may hare an opportunity of making known to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests the in j ury and injustice which they allege is about so be done to them. M S ; b t o n u 3 r l Cap tain Fisher, has, three " sunken wrecks few days, completed the remove : 7 1 1 8 7 s t E c r E , xrto so is IN TIIE t h .lx s t . h --- 0 - T r i p le t n ar ne explosions, of various removal was effected by s ubm ar i ne which have for some considera ble Ltinnilieergrueaatplye.impredhut the navigation of the River i 5001b5., fired by means of charges, averaging fro m ' a gal-ianic battery.

The River, from London-bridge to the Nore, is now per fectly free of all obstruction. The dangerous shbal of hard shingle off Lime,house-reach, which stopped the navigation of vessels of a large draught at low water, has reeontly been entirely removed by the same means. The depth of water has been increased from four to seveatezu .fcet at low water. A. TOWN THAT NEEDS NO GAS.—The Halstead. vestry lately met to consult on the necessity of lighting the town with gas, when, by a majority of one, this very select vestry voted for the light rather than the dark • nest'. A contemporary suggests that, as these 11:t1stccd illuminati, who need no gas, are determined to propage.te their sect, and at least to convert the " majority of one" back to their own old light, " the schoolmaster should be sent to 11.alstead to clear the way for the gas-iitter."— The Budder.
