Misfortunes, in truth, never come singly—as the Earl GREY is just now discovering to his amazement —hut in battali ons : th e l a t es t ill us t ra ti o n of this coming through the battalions under the command of ... his ex-E xce ll enc y th e h ero o f Al i wal. othing surely could more glaringly demonstrate the rashness, the folly, and the intemperance of the policy adven tured upon by the late Colonial Secretary, than the intelligence which has just arrived from the Cape by the steam-ship the Bosphorus. Before the Honourable G R O gO5 CATHCART had reached his destination, the war with the Kafirs' had— thanks to the military capacity of Sir HARRY SMITH been gloriously terminated. Scarcely had the insolent dis patch penned by Earl GREY, on the 14th of January, come to the hands :of his Excellency the late Gover nor, scarcely had he found himself stigmatized as in competent both as a captain and as an administrator by the petulant c i v i lian recently at the head of the Colonial Department—when the distinguished officer, thus cruelly and gratuitously insulted, vindicated at once his courage and his capacity by conquering the barbarians opposed to his f orces, what though those forces were, in point of num b ers and general efficiency, altogether inadequate for the enter prise in consequence of the niggardliness of the very Minister who had dared to pro nounce Sir HARRY SMITH worthy only degradation. A li ttle forethought on the part of the Colonial Se cretary in sending out additional troops, betimes, to th e C ape, and all the bloodshed which has taken place there r ecent l y m i g ht have been happily and Wi t h in a week il after his effectually prevente d. last vigor ous attack upon t h e Kafirs Sir tit. ec air had brought th em thoroug hly under su e tion, had destroyed their crops and taken posses sion of the whole country belonging to the insur gents. Such was th e i ncapacity complained of by the Lite Colonial Secretsry ! Such was his late Ex cellency's utter failure in showing " foresight, energy, and judgment" [vide the " Blue Book," &C. , 1 1 254] I Such was the weakness of the Go vernor of the Cape—a weakness (!) imper tinently attributed by Earl GREY to his possible " failure in health " [" Bl ue B oo k," p . 2.5e] ! Su c h was , Sir ILIERY's incapacity (accord ing to Earl GREY) " in giving either to his military Operations or to his political measures that character of vigour and judgment which were necessary to in spire confidence in the inhabitants and troops, a n d to command success " [" Blue Book," p. 254] ! Earl GREY will now, perhaps, have the goodness to in form the country, from his place in the House of Lords, how far his assertions have been corroborated by the recent proceedings in Kafirland—lie will, perhaps, kindly acquaint the public in what manner Sir H ARRY SMITH his failed to inspire con fidence in the inhabitants, has failed to inspire con fidence in the troop;, has fail e d to comman d success i against the nsurgents—now that h e h as u tt er ly sub dued the rebellion and restored peace to the agitated colony. Such has been the culpable course pursued by his ex-Excellency in a w ay, says the Earl GREY, seriously reprehensible even to " an unprofessional observer" [" Blue Book," P' 255 ] Such has been the disgraceful (!) way in whi c h , if we are to believe the Colonial Secretar y , S i r HARRY has " e i t h er b een entirely mistak en i n hi s Judgment, or has failed in usiri, with effect the for ce at his di sposal .. [,. Blue Book, p. 255] ! Such have been the " irsost fatal errors" [" Blue Book," p. 225,1 HE" SYYN, It will_be remembered by those who have watched the course pursued by ourselves that from the very outset we protested against the unstatesmanlike con duct of Earl GREY in writing the dispatch of the 1 4th of January—disc oun t enanc i n g as we did, at the same time, the condemnation pronounced in certain quar ters upon his Excellency the late Governor of the Cape. We asserted even from the earliest moment that there was no cause for anxiety as to the capacity of Sir HARRY SMITH as a Commander. We declared with the utmost distinctness that there was no need whatever for replacing him by the appointment to the same important and responsible post of the Hon. GEORGE CATHC ART. Before his successor had reached the Cape, Sir HARRY had—as is now seen in corroboration of the correctness of our opinion— proved himself equal to the occasion by becoming signally victorious. Precisely in a similar man ner did we aver, when alniost all the country at home was in a panic, in respect to the revolt in the Punjaub, that Sir Huou Gouos (now Vis count of Goojerat) would prove one too many for the Seikhs, notwithstanding his " skrimmages" at Ramnugger and Chillianwallah! And 'in testimony of the truth of our assertion it need scarcely be re called to public remembrance that Sir CHARLES Nerna found all the work "done to hand" before his heroic foot had again pressed the soil illus trated by his ever-memorable conquests. Sir Huoa's indomitable courage had carried him In triumph through every diffiCulty ; and in the same manner Sir HARRY'S unquestionable valour has with equal rapidity rendered him victorious— added to which,? that in the latter instance the military skill, the military capacity, and.the military judgment of the victor have been Vouched for by the most venerable Captain now living, Field-Marshal his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON. So much for the wisdom of Earl GREY ! So much for his prescience ! So much ,for his statesmanship! The country can now, by the light of these recent and final successes in Kafirland, see the late Colonial Secretary in his true colours, beholding, as it were pendant round his neck like a millstone, that unhappy dispatch of his dated Downing-street the 14th of January. It is eminently gratifying to observe the accordance with our own views in reference to the treatment of Captain PENNY by the Admiralty, manifested through out the discussion , which took place upon that most interesting subject last evening in the House of Com mons. In replying to the very pertinent questions of the Member for Yougbal, the Honourable AIIGITSTUS STAFFORD acknowledged, without any attempt at evasion ot concealment, that the authorities at the Admiralty had accorded to Captain PENNY no reward, that they had promised him no employment, and that it was not their intention to award him any future recompense or any further en gagement. The candid avowal bf the representative of Northamptonshire came from him not without a certain grace, even in his official capacity as Secretary of the Admiralty, seeing that the blame in the whole of this very disgraceful transaction rests with the past and not with the present Lords Commissioners. Admiral BERKELEY for one avowed boldly and distinctly, that he was pre pared to take upon himself the responsibility of not appointing Captain PENNY to the newly organ ized expedition—the expedition about to depart fur the Arctic Sea., under the command of Sir E DWARD BELCHER. Good ! We shall carefully bear that declaration in our remembrance ; and we trust also that the fact will be borne not less carefully in their remembrance by the constituents at the mercantile port of Gloucester Admiral BERKELEY is prepared for one to take upon himself the responsibility of the late contemptuous treatment of Captain PENNY ; he would say more than this even, he was of opinion that if Captain PENNy was sent out in the next ex peditio❑ it would not be for the good of the service ! And why ? Because Captain PENNY, forsooth is merely captain of a scurvy whaler ! May it not be also that there is possibly a jealousy, a professional jealousy, of an officer who, like Captain PENNY, has secured, not the lion's share only, but the whole of the glory of discovering the !actual route taken by Sir JOHN FRANKLIN ? Than the remarks made last evening in the House of Commons by the Hon. Baronet the Member for the University of Oxford, none could be more peculiarly in accordance with the observa- tions we ourselves have made repeatedly, and more particularly of late, in reference to the paltry conduct in this matter of the late Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. Even to an appropriate allusion to " Mr. JAMES Cook," the argument of Sir ROBERT HARRY INGLI3 coin cided wonderfully well with our own, and is therefore to us especially matter of the most sincere satisfaction. Let not the newly appointed Board of Admiralty allow this subject to be as summarily as it was yesterday, in Parliamentary phrase, " dropped ;" but rather let the most crying evil perpetrated under the administration of our naval affairs by Sir FRANCIS BARING be " abated" by his distinguished successor, the Duke of NORTH UMBERLAND. The opportunity still presents itself for the compensation of Captain PENNY in some manner for the insolent treatment to which he has been most shamefully subjected, by allowing him to proceed in due season with his two vessels and a steamer for the purpose of exploring the open water beyond Wellington Channel, those hitharto neglected seas in which (from the particulars brought to light through his instrumen tality) there is every probability of our navigators ultimately being enabled to follow up the traces lift by the missing Expedition. Britannia must take her chance," was the me morable exclamation of Mr. WILKINS MICAWIIER, when departing from the shores of his ungrateful country. Notwith stan di ng h i s most energet i c exer tions, the short-sighted community remained insen sible to hi, merits. Aft er a l ong an d patr i ot i c struggle, then, he at length abandoned his native land to the melancholy fate which was a just retri bution for its want o f appreciation of his numerou s virtues and transcenda n t abilities. The CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER !peak s in something of a similar tone—" England must abide the consequences" if the inestimable advantages of " a bread tax" be not distinctly understood and eagerly demanded. He declares that it is the belief of her MAJESTY'S Mi nisters that the best mode of affording the necessary relief to the agriculturists would he to adopt that mode which science has recommended, and w hi c h they thought prejudice and passion only opposed, or, in other words, the re-imposition of a duty on corn, accordin g to the recommendation of an apostate Free-trader, whose politico• economical opi n i ons will n o longer be received with respect either 1, -Y the Legislature or the people of Great Britain. The nation may prove indifferent -to its true interests. It may reject the benefits com ing in the rather questionable shape of taxed food and a small loaf. If such should, unfortunately, be the result of the appeal, Mr. Disaasm, in the true MinAwunit vein, emphatically warns us that " Bri tannia must take her chance." He says, " But if the country will not have recourse to these remedial measures, we (i. e. her MAJESTY'S Ministers) bow to its decision.." H e adds, " I warn you again that if you force our whole system of taxation to be revised, you will find that though the means of redress for the agricultura,l interest - may be discovered and obtained, the "grievous errors" [" Blue Book," p. 255], the " errors" Sir Haim has " committed" [" Blue Book," p. 256], the " e rrors i n t o w hi c h h e h as b een betrayed" [ . Blue Book," p. 256], if we are to credit that very diatinguithhed military officer, that experienced cap tain, that redoubtable and dauntless conqueror, Earl GREY, speaking to the nation through the medium of his dispatch of the 14th of January in the Parliamentary report comprising this memorable cor respondence. 01 that dispatch of the 14th of Janu ary ! The very circumstance of its publication may be regarded, we are almost disposed to think, as of itself sufficient expiation even for the blunders of Earl GREY..—most blundering of all our blundering ad ministrators—during the period of his continuance in the Colonial Department of her MAJESTY'S Govern ment. It must always remain a thorn in his side, and a thorn poisoned, moreover, indirectly by the panegyric pronounced at the commencement of the present session upon the capacity, the judgment, and the skill of Sir HARRY SMITH by no less illustrious an authority than his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON. LON'DO/4', I you will obtain them by a far more costly process than that which our immediate policy recommends !" Be it so. We'll " take our chance," the risk shall be cheerfully encoun tered. We will not have a bread tax although it should not " raise the price of the loaf by more than a halfpenny," as sagely remarked by Mr. G. CARRING.• TON, of Missenden Abbey, the seconder of the Right Hon. Gentleman. On that point the people are firmly resolved. The matter has been long since disposed of, and any attempt to enter on a retrograde course, or to bring back the obnoxious impost, would be as unavailing as an effort to repeal the Emancipation Act, and to re-enact the penal code. We should hare added, or to resuscitate the rotten boroughs, but a re collection of the "New Reform Bill" compels us to avoid that dangerous ground. A clear, distinct, and unequivocal answer will be returned now, or at any future period, at which the question may be asked, and that not only on the hustings, but from every cottage fireside throughout the length and breadth of the land; not only from the electors, but from the non-electors, who have yet sufficient political knowledge to understand that representation should be coincident with taxation, and that it is better to have sufficient food for their children than to have them kept on short diet. Even the veriest blockheads will find words to express their feelings on such a subject. The " political cyphers" will show that they have still some weight, and a recog nised position in the British Constitution. GOD forbid that we should again behold the fearful scenes of riot and disturbance such as those that once prevailed in the heart of the metro polis, when the blood of our fellow-subjects— of men who could not remain insensible to the cries of their starving children, rolled down the gut ters of St. James's-square. We hope and believe that there will not be a repetition of such lamentable events, because we cannot conceive, under any cir cumstances, the possibility of a bread-tax ; but were it otherwise, and that a Parlia mentary majority should be returned in favour of protection, we again repeat the assertion to which we have already given deliberate expression, that " free trade cannot be interfered with without blood shed, or a corn-law restored without revolution." On this point there is neither doubt nor difficulty, and we believe that the Earl of DERBY and Mr. DISRAELI are as well aware of the fact as we are. We have no such dread of a "re-adjustment of taxation" as to avert it at such an expense. On the contrary; it is what we have energetically demanded for many years. We believe that the agriculturists,in com mon with the industrial population of all classes are un fairly and unjustly treated. By all means give them relief, but we must take care that the burden be not transferred to other shoulders, which are even less able to bear them. We shall not condemn pro jects at which, at present, we can only guess. Let Mr. DISRAELI therefore bring forward his propositions, and if they be just and equitable we shall consider them calmly and dispassionately, without prejudice or favour—the good of " the many" our only object. But let him carefully avoid any undue pressure upon industry, and be particularly cautious about bringing forward anything in the shape of indirect taxation. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Constitutionnel speaks in the following terms on the promising aspect of affairs in France under the new rigime "It results from the monthly reports addressed by the ecember.

On every point of France men bless the firm sad courageous hand which, in putting an end to the revolutionary crisis, has opened a new era to civilization. The reports sent in by the procureurs generaux show that the •labours of the mixed com missions are nearly terrainited. A great number of men have been set at liberty, and have returned to their usual occupations. A more restricted number of individuals have been sentenced to transportation, and amongst them are many liberated convicts and men of noted bad character. The severe but just measures adopted by the Government are generally approved of. Everywhere the departure of the men condemned has been effected without the slightest symptom of agitation. In some places groups of curious persons were to be seen, but the calm and indifferent demea ry.nr of the populations shows how little sympathy the arti sans of disorder excite among the masses." All the old empluyis of the tormer Legislative As sembly have," says the Palrie , " been re-established in tbrir functions." Accounts from Algeria state that the penitentiary colony of Lambessa was prepared to receive the trans ported prisoners, who were shortly expected to arrive there. The general commanding the province, the pre fect, and a commission of engineers had visited the esta blishment, which had already received a part of its civil • and military personnel. The ball given on. Wednesday night last by the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs was attended by all the beau monde o f Paris. The corps diplomatique, ministers, senators, councillors of State—in a word, all the eivil and military notabilities of the capital, with a great number of foreigners of distinction, thronged the saloons. More than 2,000 persons were present; and, in order to improve the means of accommodation, a long gallery tastefully ornamented had been erected the whole length of the garden. Public securities all rose at the Bourse. The Five per Cents. opened at 103 f. 35c., and cloned at 103 E 65c. for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 681. 65c.; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,1721. 50c.; Rouen, 6871. 50c.; Llavre, 2724 50c.; Great Northern, 6251.; Avignon, 247 f. 50c.; Vierz)n, 5161. 25c.; Basle, 2271. 50c.; Bordeaux, 4851; Paris and Strasburg, 518 f. 75c ; Paris and Lyons, 595 r.

A German journal states that the Germanic Diet has decided in favour of the Senate of Bremen, in the ques tion pending between it and the Assembly of Citizens, and that it is about to send a federal commissioner to the city. The Prussian Government has addressed a circular to the German States comprising the Z Alverein, request ing them to take part in the approaching Customs' Con gress at Berlin. In it the Prussian Government de clares itself in favour of maintaining the Zollverein with the modifications that experience, or the Prussa•Hano verian treaty of September, have rendered necessary. It adds, that it will only admit the states forming part of the Z )11verein, or disposed to enter it on conditions which shall not change its bases. This would exclude Austria.

CITY, TWO O'CLI)CK The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 6,000 bales, of which 1,500 were taken for export and on speculation. The market closed tamely at previous rates. Railway shares were very dull and at lower prices. The weekly statement of the Bank of England is made up to the 6th instant. The amount of the precious metals was larger again, and there was a curtailment of the circulation, for although the discounts, judging by the addition made to the other securities, increased to some extent, there was more than half a million paid in to the deposit accounts, and this tamed the balanc e . Th e "R est " appears to b e near l y at its maximum for the current quarter. Compared with the previous week, the changes are as follows : Notes Issued ... • X 32,897,145 Increase ... „.. • 165,020 *** ''• •• • ▪ ... 3,6 6,528 •• „„ •• Increase 12,342 Public Deposits ••• ... 6,902,929 Increase ... ..„ • 179,823 Other Deposits ... • 12,124,056 Increase ... • 466,604 Seven Day and other Bills ... 1,143,943 Increase ... 22,151 Government Securities... . 13,565,323 Increase ... 7,224 Other Securities ... 11,602,383 Increase ...

Bills of Exchange on the Continental cities yesterday af ternoon were very little dealt in, and the previous rates were generally paid. Paris, 90 days, 25 50 to 54; Amsterdam, 12 0►,4 to 3 / 4 ; Hamburgh, 13 11 to 1 4 ; and Trieste, 12 38 to 45. This last is an advance. Rest So far from the Californian land titles becoming clearer, as was hoped, they seem to get involved in renewed doubt, and the report of the United States Government Agent, Mr. Carey Jones, by no means satisfies those who are conversant with the usual system of making land grants in Mexico. Further than this, Mr. Hoffmann, who was or is Colonel Fremont's agent in Europe, disputes the fact of a sale of the Mariposas having been made to Mr. Sargent, and writes as follows : I have the pleasure to state that letters (four in number) received this let of March from Colonel Fremont, request me, and enable me (from my knowledge here), to state as follows confirm all my remarks of the 24th February (at that time necessarily somewhat conjectural). There never was a sale, and never will be one. The revocation, alluded to by me, as received by Colonel Ihnton, has been acknowledged, and the power of the Ist of October was itself wholly clogged with terms and conditions not at all named or alluded to in the copies here. a mere con trivance to raise money for purposes well known to Sargent ; and Sargent never possessed the originals, now deposited elsewhere, and of no possible vse to auy one, no more than waste paper, because Share was no absolute sale, and never will be one. The non-delivery of the originals to Sargent. or to any company whatever, was a management and on terms and for motives now well known to me, but of no mo ment whatever, as Colonel Fremont indignantly repudiates all. Colonel Fremont insists upon (and very justly) an im mediate compliance, by all le,sees or contractors here with their stipulations, or that I shall early annul said contracts, or not execute those given out by me, and which are not yet engrossed, by reason of said non-compliance, if at all per sis, ed in, they, therefore, mu , t early decide.— [lt is but just, however, for me to state that, with but one exception, all have remained anxious to faithfully execute ther contracts.] He disclaims all and every part of the alleged familiarity of acquaintance between him and Thomas Denny Sargent, and utterly denies Sargent's statement as to a letter relied on by him from Mrs. Fremont." In conclusion Mr. lloffmann affirms-- " That duty, and justice, and honour command me to re main wholly in statu quo until Colonel Fremont himself shall pronounce pro or con. That should the estate validly and justly have passed from Colonel Fremont to Mr. Sargent (who in this matter must, after all, be regarded as being very largely nominal), then, as far as justice, consistency, and honour shall admonish me, aad likewise the justice due to innocent stockholders here, I shall do all that the matter shall then really need to harmonise all the real parties, all the companies here and elsewhere, so that California in ge neral, and the Mariposa estate in particular, shall yield to each and all their just and legitimate rights. "And, lastly, but if matters be as I have previously stated. and Colonel Fremont adds his own proofs to my own, then I aver again that Colonel Fremont has not parted with his estate, and that Thomas Denny Sargent is not, and never will become, the proprietor of any part whatever of said estate." The whole " gist" of this affair rests upon the alleged withdrawal from Colonel Benton, who acted as Colonel Fremont's agent in the United States, of the power of sale previously given, and none of the points mooted touch the question of " original title," which it would be so isitto publish. L'N 413 Js The exports of silver from the port of Londontalrl , ct &king the week to Thursday last ware 350,151 ounces, of which the greater part went to Rotterdam and Belgium. Of gold, 14,222 ounces were sent away. The highest satisfaction is expressed in the City at the news from the Caps, and the successes of the gallant Sir Harry Smith, with whom, since Earl Grey's dispatch, the public sympathy here is very strong. The English Stock,Market has been very buoyant, and the Kafir news has had an excellent effect. Consols have been quoted 97f for Transfer, and 97i to 98 for Account. Ex chequer-bills have been advanced le., being 635. to 675. premium, and India Bonds 735. to 765. Foreign securities have been quiet, and Mexican have gone flatter, being 32 to 32/.
