Misfortunes, in truth, never come singly—aa the Earl GRIT ifs just now discovering to his amazement —but in battalions : the latest illustration of this coming through the battalions under the command of his ex-Excellenc7 the hero of Aliwal. Nothing surely could m(a-e 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 GEORG E 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 civilian recently at the head of the Colonial Department—when the distinguished officer, thus cruelly sod gratuitously insulted, vindicated at once his courage and his capacity by conquering the barbarians opposed to his forces, what though those forces were, in point of numbers and general efficiency, altogether inadequate for the enter prise in consequence of the niggardliness of the very Minister w ho had dared to pronounce Sir HARRY SMITH wort h y only of degradation. A little forethou g ht on the part o f the Col onial Secret ary i n sending out additional troops, betimev, to th e Cape, and ail the bloodshei which has taken place there recently might have been happily and Within a week after hi s effectually preven t e d. •W - a , last vigoro us attac k upon the Kafirs Sir Haaßy had brought them thoroughly under subjec tion, had destroyed their crops and taken posses sion uf the whole country belonging to the insur gents. Such was the incapacity complained of y the late Colonial Secretary I Such was his late Ex cellency's utter failure in showing " foresight, energy , and judgment" [vide the "Blue Book," Bm, 11 254] ! Such was the weakness of the Go vernor of the Cape —a weakness (!) imper tinently attributed by Earl ‘JEtEr to his possible " failure in health " [" Blue Book," p. 252] ! Such was„ Sir HARRY'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, an d to command success " [" Blue Book," p. 2 54] ! Earl Guar w ill now, perhaps, h ave th e goodness t o in form the country, fiam his place in the House of Lords , how far his assertions have been corroborated by the regent proceedings in Kafirland—he will, perhaps, kindly acquaint the public in what manner Sir Hartßy SMITH has failed to inspire con fidence in the inhabitants, has failed to inspire con fidence in the troop's, has failed to command success against the insurgents now that he has utterly sub dued the rebellion and restored peace to the agitated colo !.y. Such has been the culpable course pursued by his ex-Exoellency in a way, says the Earl GREY, seriously reprehensible even to " an unprofessional Blue' Book," observer" p. 255] ! Such has been the disgraceful (i) Way in which, if we are to believe the Colonial Secretary, Sir HARRY has " either been entirely mistaken in his judgment, or has failed in using with effect the force it his disposal" [" Blue 800k.".p. 255] ! S uch have been th e Blue B oo k , " p. 225,] " most fatal errors" THE SUN, the " grievous errors" [" Blue Book," p. 255], the " errors" Sir HARRY has " committed" [" Blue Book," p. 256], the "errors into which he has been betrayed" [" Blue Book," p. 256], if we are to credit that very distinguished military officer, that experier ced cap tain, ta, that redo u bt a bl e an d d aun tl ess 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. 0 ! 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. 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 14th of January—discountenancing 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 CATHCART. 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 almost all the country at home was in a panic, in respect to the revolt in the Punjanb, that Sir HUGH GOUGH (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 NAPIER found all the work " done to hand" before his heroic foot had again pressed the soil illus trated by his ever-memorable conquests. Sir HUGH'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 must interesting subject last evening in the House of Com mons. In replying to the very pertinent questions; of the Member for Youghal, the Honourable AUGUSTUS STAYEORD acknowledged, without any attempt at evasion or concealment, that th e 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 of 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 for the Arctic Seas, under the command of Sir EDW ARD BELCHER. Good ! We shall carefully bear that declaration in our remembrance ; and we trust also that the fact will be borne not leas carefully in their remembrance by the constituents at the mercantile port of Gloucester I Admiral BERKELEY is prepared for one to take upon himself the responsibility of the late contemptuous treatment of Captain Pamir ; he would say more than thi s even , h e was of opinion that if Captain PENNY was sent out in the next ex pedition it would not be for the good of the service ! And why ? Becaise Captain PENNY, forsooth is merely captain of a scurvy whaler ! May it not be also that there is possibly a jealousy, a professional j ea l ousy, o f 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 Jourf 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. 'haus COOK," the argument of Sir ROBERT HARRY 11w-is 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 as summarily aa it was yesterday, in Parliamentary phrase) " dropped ;" but rather let the most crying evil perpetrated under the administration of our naval affairs by Sir Fmaricis BAILING 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 wild his two vessels and a steamer for the purpose of exploring the open water beyond Wellington Chanziel, those hitherto neglected seas in which (from the particulars brought to light through his instrumen tality) there is every probability of east. navigators ultimately being enabled to follow up the traces left by the missing Expedition. "Britannia must take her chance," was the me morable exclamation of Mr. WILKINS MICAWBEE, when departing from the shores of his ungrateful Country. Notwithstanding his most energetic exer tions, the ehert-sighted community remained insen sible to his h a o t merits. Aft er a long and patriotic I I; nfagtteh whichab and o w n a e s d a j his t native . l s a t r n u d g,i: o le t , h t e h eran ela he melancholy bution for its want of appreciation of his numerou s virtues and transcendent abilities. The CHAN CELLOR of the EXCIIICIAIBIL spe a k s i n something of a sim il ar 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 MAJZISTY'S Mi nisters that the best mode of a ff ording the necessnry relief to the agriculturists would he to adopt that mode which science has recommended, and which they thought prejudice and passion .. only Opp os , d, or, in other words, the re-imposition. of a of oix corn, according to the recommendation . an apostate economical opinions Free-trader, whose politico.e will no lo nge r be reeraved with respect either by the Legislature or the p eople of Great B r i tain. The nation may prove indifferent to its true interests. It may reject the leenefits com ing in the rather questionable shape of taxed food and a small lo a f. I f such should, unfortunately, be the result of the appeal, Mr. DISE,WiLi, in the true MicAwneu vein, emphatically warns vs that "Bri tannia must take her chance." He says, " But if the country will not have recourse to these remedial measures, we (1. e. her MAJESTY'S Diinibters) bow to its decision." He adds, " I warn you again that if you force our whole system of tazation to be revised, you will find that though file means of redress for the agricultural interest may be disc overed and obtained, LONDON, 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 have 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 tto other shoulders, which are even less able to i bear them. We shall not condemn pro jects at which, at present, we can only guess. Let ➢lr. 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.

On every point of Franca man bless the firm and courageous hand which, in putting an end to the revolutionary crisis, has opened a new era to civilization. The reports sent in by the procareurs generaux show that the labours of the mixed com missions are nearly terminated. A great number of men have been set at liberty, and have returned to their usual occupations. A more restricted number of individuals kave 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 nour of the populations shows how little sympathy tie arti sans of disorder excite among the masses." " All the old employes of the former Legislative As sembly have," says the Patrie, " been re-established in their 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 these. The general commanding the province, the pre loot, and a commission of engineers had visited the esta blishment, which had already received a part of its civil and military personnel. The ball iiien 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 civil and military notabilities of the capital, with a great number of foreigners of distinction, thronged the saloons. More thins 2,000 persons were present; and, in order to issprovo the means of accommodation, a long gallery tastefully ornamersted had been erected tlafra whole length of the garden.

The Prussian Gasternment has addressed a circular to the German States comprising the Zollverein, rcquest ing.them to take part in the approaching Customs' Con gress at Berlin. In it th e Prussian Government de clares itself in favour of maintaining the Zollverein with the modifications that experience, or the Prussi-Hano veriaa treity 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 Is bases. This would exclude Austria.

CITY, TWO O'CL.iiCK The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimatea 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 curtailme n t o f th e c i rcu lation, 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 turned the balance. The "Rest" appears to be nearly at its maximum for the current quarter. Compared with the previous week, the changes are as follows : Notes Issued ... £.32,897,145 Increase ... ... 165,020 ... 3,616,528 •• 12,342 ... 6,902,929 ... 179,823 .. 12,124,056 465,604 ... 1,143,943 ... 22,151 ... 13,565,323 ••• 7,224 11,602,383 ••• 215,400 ... 12,659,825 ... 451,170 ... 19,410,070 • 171,146 • 20,237,320 286,150 Rest Increase „• Public Deposits ••• ••• Increase ... Other Deposits ... Increase ... Seven Day and other Bills Increase ... Government Securities... Increase ... Other Securities Increase ... Notes ... Increase ... Bullion Increase Active Circulation Decrease ... ..• The circulation of the United Kingdom during the four weeks to the 21st ult. was 34,495,2701., an increase of 1,345,8311. over February, 1851. 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 a ; Amsterdam, 12 0% to 3 / 4 ; Hamburgh, 13 11 to 1 4 4 ; and Trieste, 12 38 to 45._ This last is an advance. 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 Ist of March from Colonel Fremont, request me, and enable me (from my knowledge here), to state as follows :—I 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 Benton, 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 use to any one, no more than waste paper, because there 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 lessees 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 sisted in, they, therefore, must 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. Hoffmann 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, and 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 Framont 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 he so easy to publish. The exports of silver from the port of London direct during the week to Thursday last were 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 Cape, 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, an d th e Kafir news has had an excellent effect. Consols have been quoted 97i for Transfer, and 97i to 98 for Account. Ex chequer-bills have been advanced Is., being 645. to 675. premium, and India Bonds 735. to 765. Foreign securities have been quiet, and Mexican hive gone flatter, being 32 to 32i.

TIIE ADMIRALTY LEVERS.—His Grace the Duke of Nor thumberland will commence making his official personal acquaintance with naval officers on Tuesday week next, the 23dinst. The levees . of the Noble and Gallant First Lord will be conducted according to the arrangements of his predecessor. Thirty officers will be admitted to interviews on each occa sion, and the day (Tuesday) has been named that, inasmuch as the other members of the Board have fixed Tuesday as their day for giving interviews, officers residing in the country may have the opportunity of seeing more than one lord on the same occasion. MAJOR-GENERAL CATIICART.—The Hydra, 6, steam sloop, Commander Belgrave, with the new Governor for the Cape, Major-General the Hon. G. Cathcart, and suite, ar rived at Madeira, en route, on the morning of the 17th Feb ruary, after a most boisterous passage, during which she nearly rolled away her quarter boats. There was not a dry cabin in the ship. The Gallant General was washed out of his berth in the commander's cabin, and was compelled to take refuge in a swinging cot. For one night he lay en veloped in wet sheets, on the most approved hydropathic principle. The General was a great favourite on board. He seemed to delight in rough usage, and submitted most cheer fully to every inconvenience. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 12. Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, G.C. M.G., the Commander-in-Chief of this port, proceeded to Cowes this afternoon in his yacht the Fanny, Second- Master Scarlett commanding, to pay an official visit to her Majesty. Sir Thomas remained at Osborne, and dined with the Queen this evening. The Echo steam-tug, Mr. Harding master in charge, em barked 350 of the 83th Regiment (who arrived in this gar rison from Canterbury last night by the South Coast Rail way) from the dockyard this morning, and conveyed them to Cowes for service at Parkhurst Barracks. The re mainder of the regiment will follow in a day or two. The Arethusa, 50, Captain Symonds, was removed from the basin to-day alongside the dockyard jetty. ROYAL MARINES. The court-martial held at Forton on Lieutenant Hall came to a conclusion yesterday. To-morrow the Court re-assemble to hear the fair copy of the proceedings read over and affix their signatures to the minutes. The result therefore will not be known perhaps for a week yet. n „s. First-Lieutenant John Cree Giles, of the Portsmouth divi sion, died this morning suddenly at Haslar Hospital. The deceased was the son of Colonel Giles, Second Commandant at Plymouth. Second Lieutenant Robert William Bland Hunt, of the Chatham division, becomes First Lieutenant by the death of Lieutenant Giles. Captain Pearce (Brevet-Major), of the Divisional, and First Lieutenant Ansell, of the ArtiHery Companies, are under orders for embarkation in the Blenheim steam guard ship at this port PLYMOUTH, Furomr.—The defects of her Majesty's screw frigate Dauntless are to be made good when she lies in the Sound. A party of caulkers went on board on Wednesday, and the ship is to be fitted with all dispatch. The steam -vessel Desperate, having been fitted for com mission, was on Wednesday placed alongside the coal depot in Hamoaze. TWELVE O'CLOCK, a.at.—A large paddle-wheel steam ship, which fired two guns on passing, and signalled her Majesty's frigate D auntless i n the Sound, was off the port at eleven o'clock this morning, bound up Channel. SHIERNESS, MARCH 12..—Her Majesty's steamer Myrtle, Mr. W. S. Bouchier master commanding, and the African steam-tug vessel, second master Gill, got up their steam early yesterday morning. and proceeded to Black Stake moorings off Deadman's Island, for the purpose of removing her Majesty's ship Benbow, 7/, to Saltpan Reach, where she is being moored as one of the line of telegraphs between Sheerness, Chatham, and Woolwich. On leaving the Benbow the steamers went alongside her Majesty's steam screw-frigate Amphion, 34, and towed her to moorings abreast the dockyard wall, preparatory to her being taken into the basin to be rigged and made ready as one of the steam squadron of reserv e at t hi s port. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Fearless, Captain Bullock, employed on surveying duties, left port on Wednesday after noon. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam-frigate Cyclops is likely to be under the hands of the dockyard for some time longer. Other defects have been discovered, and it is feared some of her timbers have the dry rot. The Lively lighter, Hartfield master, last from Portsmouth, sailed yesterday evening for Deptford, with stores for the dockyard of that port. The schooner Fortuna, of Whitby, laden with stores, has got on shore on the Maplin Sand. The crews of three fish , sn a cks lying in the vicinity are endeavouring to light en her. She is striking heavily, and it is feared she will not get off again. ♦I'POINTMENTS. Surgton Charles A. Anderson, M.D. (1849), to be Sugeon 43ast),coast of America Superintendent of the Lord .
