The banquet at the Town Hall showed how wealthy merchants are able to entertain princes showed that while commerce is the handmaid of civilsa tion, she brings in her train the refinements, the delicacies, the luxuries of life. All that wealth the most unbou n d e d cou ld supply,' all that tast e th e mos t critical could suggest, all that fancy the most imagina tive could realise, was there—spread in profusion, and offered without ostentation. It was a banquet fit to feast kings—worthy of Britain's merchant-princes. The procession —how shall we describe it—to what shall we liken it ? We have heard royalty proclaimed at Charing-cross seen it anointed in Westminster Abbey. But to our taste there was more genuine feeling in the bluff hearty cheers of English artisans, each bearing the emblem of his craft, that fell on the Prince's ear on the morning of Friday last, in that long procession, s‘hich would have extended for miles in a direct line— more soul, more sympathy, than the congratulations, more polite, it may be, certainly not more earnest, which the proudest aristccracy in the world offered to the Mistress of the Seas when she ascended the throne of her fathers. Liverpool, during the two days of the royal festival. was pregnant with excitement. The holidays were ge neral—business was suspended, and every one, in the gratification of an amiable feeling, seemed bent on en joying hicaswlf for the time being. I. this land of inter minable labour the misfortune is, that holidays, like angels' visits, are so few and far between. If the hard worked sons of toil were enabled to appropriate two or three days in the year to the indulgence of rest, cominglid with the poetry of life, the world would be better, happier, far—and commerce wo u ld su ff er little, if any, deterioration. The great law of human existence—labour, and its concomitant, the sweat of the brow, produce health, but do not pro hibit enjoyment. It is so rare, so gratifying, a sight, to see humble industry relieved from its drudgery—to witness the smiling faces, the happy homes of those who minister to our wants, and partake in our enjoyments, that all who look on the dignity of nature with the feelings of phi lanthropy, regret that these occasions are so rare. Royalty must have a strong hold on the affections of the nation when it throws down the barriers which com merce and a money-making people erect in the pursuit of a great purpose. We honour the visit of Prince Albert, because it has developed traits of character creditable to him as a man and a Prince. We honour it, because it is associated with a noble purpose—the elevation of the character of the British sailor. We honour it, finally, because it has contributed, as we believe, to his gratification, while it has certainly been the means of furthering the enjoyment of hundreds of thousands of human beings ! We have given elsewhere a sketeliy account of the festivities in Liverpool, consequent on the visit of Prince Albert. The v s't, in every point of view, was oppor tune, and has left behind recollections of the most pleas ing and gratifying character. The popular consort of et, popular Queen corning to assist in the performance of a work of charity—the foundation of a " Home" for the sailor, was an occasion, in a great commercial mart, the best ealculated of all others to make royalty respected, and to call forth the warm and generous sympathies of an intelligent people. The Prince has many requisites that command respect. He is young, handsome, affable, and possesses a figure that " gives the world assurance of a man " Without being stilted, his manners are dignified and prepossess ing. and in his countenance there is an expression of bc,nhomie that conciliates esteem. When to high birth and a tine person are added mental attainme.ats of the most refined cast, it is easy to conceive that tteeir pos sessor rejoices in every accomplishment, natural and ac quired, that exalts and dignifies our common humtelity. The human mind has a natural tendency to think well of those who are placed above us by the accidents of bit th c.r of fortuno. IVhen their private characters and public conduct are in unison with the refinements of an elevated civilisation, their. apprarance in public is sure to command respect and elicit admiration. The feeling at which we have glflzictd has not exclusive refer P r ice to roTillty. It has been eliciftd by American Presidents— - enjoyed by Earopeen Sovereigns. Buonaparte and Washington, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, have it is t o secure t h e respect 4n d to - found out how ea s y command the homage of admiring millions. During the seven or eight years that Prince Albert has been allied to the British crown, his conduct in pub lic, his character in private, have been marked by fine taste, and the absence of any feelings that could com promise a gentleman or a prince. " Blest in thy genius, in thy love, too, blest," was said of one every way his inferior, as respects not only birth, but what the world, even in aristocratic England, regards with higher esteem, talent. The Prince is understood to rejoice in many accomplishments that would make the fortunes of ordi nary poets, painters, and musicians. It is impossible to look upon his expressive, ingenuous, manly features without feeling that he is one of nature's nobility—one who would acquire distinction in any field to which his energies had been devoted. LiVing in an atmosphere apart from the great world, it is creditable to his sagacity and his practical know ledge of human nature, that when he does come in con tact with the great mass of mankind, he can " unbend" in a manner which p'eases and delights all. The road to popularity for Princes is smooth—for plebians rough, with very awkward turnings ! Court et;quette forbids the introduction of genuine English eloquence in the presence of royalty. During his two days' sojourn in Liverpool, the Prince made two or three speeches—terie, epigrammatic, and preg nant with sense and meaning. But he heard, in the brief language of British merchants, comprehensive views; he saw, in their bearing, suavity of manners; he witnessed in their conduct, energy of character, that, combined, have raised this country foremost in wealth, in respect, and in prosperity, amongst the nations of the earth. The respect which they conceded to him, without any compromise of feeling, or a particle of personal debasement, must have elicited in return, admiration for men who trust their fortunes to the winds of heaven, and with a noble self reliance on the triumphs of science, and the truths of arithmetic, rarely lay their heads on their pillows without being, more or less, as regards station and wealth, at the mercy of the fickle elements—those elements over which Britannia is said to rule, but which frequently rise into sublime re bellion, in defiance of her fabled authority, and toss the labouring barque of British commerce into a thousand atoms.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities In the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithftilly imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to eurselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation if oar faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

MILITARY FLOGGING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—ln your paper of yesterday, I see a statement con cerning military matters, which I am sorry to say is by no means correct. In this you have been led away by the paper you quote from, the Plymouth Journal, the editor of which unluckily was not in possession of the facts of the case when he published that paragraph—a proceeding, on his part, that shows the truth of Mr. Fox Maule's observations as to the incorrectness of a portion of the press. The facts are these:—Private Higgins was sentenced, not for only threatening, but for actually throwing a pair of boots at Colour-Sergeant Williams, and violently striking him after wards. He was perfectly sober at the time, and received no provocation ; far from it ; the sergeant was giving lidin these boots, be having made away with his others. He was taken down after receiving 150 lashes, but it is contrary to the regulations of the army that a man should be again brought up to receive the remainder of a corporal punishment when he has been considered by the surgeon as unfit to bear the whole of it. Lee's offence was a similar one, striking a sergeant, a crime now very frequent in the army, and striking at the root of all military discipline; but in consequence of his previous good character he was Sentenced to four months or 112 days' imprisonment, and no flogging, as the Plymouth paper states. In your well-known regard for justice you will not refuse to put the truth before the public. Aug. 2,1846. A CONSTANT READER.

Peace and plunder would be their first wish ; but, if you will not suffer them to combine these two, then, war and plunder is wish the second. To " Young Kafirland" the chiefs and counsellors have given way; and hence we are now fighting. The real ground of war then is, that the Kafirs, whether by war or peace, will carry on depredations, and that the colony will not put up with depredations in peace. The only alternative is war. .Oneimportant point is to be borne in mind, as an in• disputable fact, that, for the last seven yers—T might go further back—but, for the last seven years, at a!) events, no colonist, of any sort, size, or dcs.•ri t ition has committed any act of violence or outrage in any part of Kafir land. The num. - A:ate ground of war was this :—A Kafir, within the colony, stole a hatchet, and, being caught, was sent to jail. While on Lis way, under a small escort of Hottentot constables, sixty or seventy armed Kafirs, of Botman's tribe, burst into the colony, attacked the escort, hurried over the boundary the rescued prisoner, and a constable, to whoa:, for safety, he had been hand cuffed, severed the hand of the constable, is ord( r to free the prisoner from him, and then put the constable to death with assegais. During the :,cuffle, a shot, from one of the escort, killed one of the attacking party. The gang belonged to Tola's people, who are again a part of Botman's tribe, who again recognise the para mount authority of Sandilli, the head of all the Gaika Kafirs, son of Gaika, the late Chief, by his great, or Tambookie, wife : and in right of that origin, superior to his elder, and far abler, brother, Macomo, the off spring of an inferior mother, not of the aristocratic l'ambookie race. Colonel Hare demanded the surrender and punish ment of the murderers from Tole, Botman, and San dilli. No Kafir ever gives a direct answer. But they gave no satisfaction. An axe, they thought, was a small thing to send a man to prison for. If one of our people had been killed so had one of their people, and the dead men weighed equally heavy. They thought that no more should be said upon the subject. They neither promised nor pretended that they would comply with our demands. Recent events had tended to give significance to this conduct. Sandilli, a feeble young man, with no capa city, a shrivelled arm, a crooked leg, and a crooked temper, had lately performed some strange pranks. By treaty, he was bound to protect traders sojourning in his country ; but he had gone to a trader's store, forced him to open it, struck him for being slow, and had then taken away such goods as he thoucht proper to select. The same chief had carried off cattle from a missionary station, and flatly refused to give compensation to a far mer whose cattle had been carried, by the thieves, into his country. The diplomatic agent fq. the Gaika tribes, Mr. Shetch, sent for satisfaction for these injuries. His messengers found the chief in a passion. The cause was this : Finding the water failing at Post Victoria. the Go vernor wished to change the site. Blockdrift, 'on the Chumie River, was supposed to be an advantageous po sition ; and, as it was beyond the ceded territory (where we had, by treaty, a right to place forts) negotiations were opened with Sandilli, for the purpose of obtaining the necessary right. He proposed his terms, which were under consideration, when the Governor considered that a previous inspection, before closing the bargain, would be desirable. By a misapprehension of orders, what was intended for a mere inspection became a sur vey, by a small party. No intimation of the thing had been given to Sandilli, who, therefore, had a right to say, that, notwithstanding his offer, we had no authority to view the offered property, without his permission. Mr. Shetch's messengers arrived the day after the surveying party. Sandilli received them at his Kraal, or Great Place, which is close to the spot, and, having heard them, returned a most insolent reply.—They were to say, that the Governor was a rascal; that the Lieutenant-Governor was a rascal ; and that Shetch himself was a rascal. Traders and missionaries were under his feet, and they must lie quiet there. He would give no compensation for Ranbenheimer's cattle; and if the Governor came to ask for it, his answer would be, " there are my warriors." Shetch, he said, must not sleep, till he had sent this message to the Governor. And the tent there must go, and the party, also. There must be no soldiers in his country; and Sheshago (Port Victoria) also must be quitted. This was his word. On hearing of this message, Col. Hare left Grahams town, and proceeded to Fort Beaufort, from whence he sent a me=sage to Sandilli, to meet him, the next day, at Blockdrift. In reply, the Chief sent him an apologetic message hack. Ills old counsellors were not with him when he had spoken foolishly to the former messengers, and with the young men he had been a child among children. He would come to the Lieutenant-Governor, if the latter would guarantee his personal safety. This was, of course, guaranteed. Next morning came a message to his Honour, from Sutu, Sandilli's mother, asking forgivenness for her son. Colonel Hare, about three years ago, saved Sutu's life. Tyali, a half-brother of Sandilli's, and a full brother of Macomo's, had died. 'When a Chief dies, unless in war, or great old age, his death is ascribed to witch craft. Under Macomo's patronage, a witchdance was held; and the doctor, after snuffing about for the party who had bewitched Tyali, ended by smellng out Sutu, who had been Gaika's great wife, and was the mother of the paramount Chief. That Macomo had managed the matter, for his own ends, no reasonable doubt can be entertained. Au informality in the cere monies required a new dance. In the mean time, Col. Hare, contrary to Grotius and Vattel, and in derogation of the independence of our allies, sent in troops, who carried Sutu into the colony for safety, and thus saved her from a lingering death. Some people blamed his in terference ; but, for my own part, I warmly approved of it. It is terrible even to contemplate the torments of those who are made the victims of that mixture of trickery and superstition, compounded by the scoundrel witch-doctors of Ksfirland ;—now devoured, by being forced into a nest of red ants ; now roasted between red hot - stones ; now subjected to yet more capricious cruel ties. Poor Sutu ! the idea of roasting her was too bad. She is the fattest woman in Kafraria ; and weighs better than five-and-twenty stone. I have mentioned Macomo. 'William Howitt, if I re member rightly, in his book on colonisation, says,— " This Macomo seems to be a very fine fellow." This is a mere matter of taste. His wish to roast old Sutu I have told you of. For the last seven years, lie has been dead drunk, in Fort Beaufort canteen for much more than half his time. A missionary, in his neighbourhood, remonstrated with him for killing one of his wives, in a fit of drunken fury. He professed sorrow—(not that he ever pretends to be a Christian)—and was very anxious to know from whom the missionary had learned the fact. And then Macomo, sinking the fox, came out the lion, and avowed that his object was to put to death the author of the information. But while sober, which he seldom is, his faculties are superior to those of any other chief. I saw him in Fort Beaufort, last year, looking well, and showing no signs that constant drinking had destroyed his con stitution, or dimmed, in any way, his clear and cunning eye. Ile, and the four or five wives who were with him, begged from me at once, as all chiefs, great and small, invariably do. My interpreter remarked a good-look ing Gonah girl as a new wife, and asked how much she cost ? Macomo answered, six oxen. He said she was cheap, and seemed well satisfied with his bargain. But, to return to Sutu and her message. It was con ceived in the figurative language, which is their prose, and our poetry. The Lieutenant-Governor was a great father, Sandilli was an erring child. The father might be angry and punish ; but afterwards he would pity, and protect. The Kafirs were very fearful about their land. When Fort Wiltshire was built, in Gailea's time, it was said that it was built to strengthen Gaika ; but, after wards, land was taken. The Lieutenant-Governor, therefore, must have patience with Sandilli. This was the word of Sutu. She sent it to save her child. At the place of meeting, at Blockdrift, Colonel Hare assembled a considerable force of horse and foot, and some field•pieces. Right opposite advanced Sandilli, at the head of 7,000 Kafirs mounted and armed with guns, and a great multitude of men on foot. Fearful of being surrounded, Colonel Hare extended his line upon which the Kafir horsemen extended line, as well. The con ference was long, and, it would appear, satisfactory to his Honour. Judging from the report of it which I have heard, I could not participate in this sentiment. The insolence was, in part, disavowed ; but the refusal to give compensation—the arrogant claim to treat traders and missionaries as he pleased—and the impudent de ward, that no military post should remain even in the ceded territory—were all maintained. A difference of opinion exists as to the conduct of Colonel Hare on this occasion. Some think that the irregularity of our unlicensed survey demanded all pos sible forbearance from us. Others conceive, that San dilli's duplicity, upon the subject of his negotiation for the site of a new post, only aggravated the insolence of his general demeanour, and are of opinion that Colonel Hare should have given him an hour to comply with his demand for apology and redress, and, failing his com pliance, have sent some shells and the 7th Dragoons into the midst of the masses collected, obviously for an osten tatious display of force. But others, viewing some late passages in border war, are of opinion that it was very fortunate we made no movement at Blockdrift, as the probabilities are, from the disparity of force, and the unexpected determination now shown by the Kafirs, that they would have been worsted, and pursued into the colony by a furious throng of savages, flushed with triumph, ready to disperse in plundering hordes, and to spread ruin and devastation over a country wholly un prepared to resist such an invasion. lam one of those who take this view. These events left the minds of all in a very feverish and unsettled state. The colonists, in alarm, were arming, to defend themselves from an anticipated attack. There was a loud cry to the Government to be firm ; and much was written and declaimed about energetic measures, and dignified attitudes, and God knows what beside. And then, the Kafirs, seeing the preparations in the colony, began to prepare, too. Guns, ammunition, assegais, and Veldt-schoen (field shoes) were purchased by them, in every quarter in which they ; could be found. There was much mutual apprehension P RICE SD. and distrust. Sooner or later, it was clear, that war must come. Hence the outrage which I have before described, and the effect which, owing partly to its own inherent grossness, and partly to the particular time at which it was perpetrated, it instantly produced. Colonel Hare then publicly announced. his determina tion to chastise our turbulent and faithless neighbours, and vindica!ed the insulted power of the colony. The Queen's troops on the frontier are somewhat over three thousand men. Colonel Hare devolved upon a yeomanry force the defence of Grahamstown ; made other arrangements for relieving the regular forces, in other places and, dividing the army into three divi sions—one at Fort Beaufort, one at Fort Peddle, and one at the Kat River—reported himself ready to move into Kafirland, or, at least, into the ceded territory, and wrote to the Governor, in Cape Town, to declare thewar. To conduct military operations, Khan you are eix hundred miles from the scene of action, is irnuossible. Seventy. five is late to take the field. But the Gevernor at once recognised the necessity of proceeding imme &ately to the frontier, which he reached in the Admi ral's ship the President, placed at his disposal. In this hasty and imperfect sketch, I cannot stop to de scribe the events which have since occurred ; but, I re gret to say, that their general result is unfavourable to the colony. Our enemies are more numerous, more for midable, more active, and more determined, than had been anticipated ; and our preparations for resisting them have proved very incomplete. I have already referred to our actual line of boundary, the Great Fish River. Opposite Fort Beaufort, and in that direction, arc the Gaikas, the most warlike and worst conducted of all the Kafir nation. Between the Gaikas and the sea, down towards the mouth of the Fish River, are the Tslambie and Congo tribes. On the other side of the Gaikas, and stretching thence Eastward, lie the Tambookies,—a numerous, but comparatively paci fic class. Crossing the Kye, and alcng its left bank, you have Creili, the successor of the Hintze, the most power ful potentate amongst the whole of the Amakosa Kafirs; and between Creili and our new settlement of Port Natal, spreads out a fine and fertile country, inhabited by another branch of the Kafir family, under Faku. With all these Chiefs the colony had treaties of friendship and Our war was with the Gaikas. With none of the others had we any ground of quarrel ; and- one of the Gaika chiefs bad long separated himself, by good behaviour, from the rest, and had been admitted to a separate treaty, at his own request. This was Eno, who died since the war began, being, as is supposed, nearly one hundred years of age. He was friendly to the last. Shortly before his death, he paid Colonel Hare the greatest compliment a dying chief could pay, by sending a messenger to say that he trusted to him to see him buried, and not to leave his body in the bush. Every attention was paid to the old chief, by the colonial authorities, civil and military, near his Kraal. He is succeeded by his son Stock—called after Stockcnstrom— as the Kafirs pronounce his name. For some days after they entered the ceded territory, the troops, instead of meeting any opposition, did not see a soul, save now and then' a mounted Kafir, engaged in reconnoitering. But, some mismanagement gave a new turn to affairs. An immense train of baggage waggons (the necessity of which I have never heard explained) was brought through the bush, stretching for miles, and guarded by a couple of hundred soldiers at each end. One of the middle wag gons stuck in a drift or ford, and stopped the huge pro cession. Down rushed Kafirs in thousands, starting from the bush, like the mountaineers of Roderick Dhu. The leaders, and drivers, and soldiers opened a fire ; but it was soon silenced by the close and continuous rattle of the Kafir musketry ; and the upshot was the capture of between 50 and 60 valuable waggons, with their oxen, and much food and clothing, worth not less than 10,0004 The enemy drove off the oxen, plundered the waggons, and then burned them. Rescuing the ammunition wag gons with difficulty, the troops retreated, pursued and harassed by the Kafirs to their very encampment. The things captured were rare trophies. Sable gentlemen arrayed themselves in military coats, and proud of their upward splendour, disdained to wear any other article of clothing. whatever. They attacked the medecine chest, eating blistering plaster, and, it is said, swallowing the laudanum. But, besides all these, there was not a little food, which they carried off to their fastnesses in the Amatola mountains. Encouraged by this signal success, the enemy became more darirg ; and their greater daring led to more suc cesses. The troops, in fact, were outnumbered, and brought to act on the defensive ; and then the Kafirs, delayed by no commissariat, driving no huge train of waggons, and greedy for the plunder of our scattered homesteads, rushed in plundering parties into the colony, cutting off stragglers, stopping the mails, and scattering the contents, and sweeping off cattle with a celerity altogether wonderful. Farmers and their families were soon flying for protection to all strong positions ; their hou-es were being burnt in all directions. With the ex ception of forts and towns and some well situated and strongly fortified farm-houses, the whole of Albany, and much of Somerset and Uitenhage, were in possession of the enemy. The effects of all thh speedily bc..-ne visible. Tho war with the Gaikas is now a war with all Kafirland. The Gaikas point to the plunder derived from the capture of the waggons—to the droves of colonial cattle brought in ; and incite the cupidity of the rest, by the spectacle of their triumphs. It is not in Kafir nature to stand this. The consequence is, that the war-cry has been raised by Pato and the Tslambies ; that the Tambookies are wavering, almost certain to declare against us ; and that Creili is rumoured to have entered into the con federacy. To meet the mighty danger in which the colony is placed, the most active measures have been resorted to. Martial law has been proclaimed throughout the entire colony. The Burgher force of every district, from Colesberg to the Cape, has been called into the field. All persons and all property are placed at the disposal of the Government, in this great emergency. Now, in the winter season, the farmers and their people are called away, from sowing time, to march hundreds of miles to the seat of scar, receiving but scanty food, and sleeping nightly in the open air. Horses, fire-arms, waggons, &c.,—all are, under the pressure of necessity, seized, and applied to the equipment and conveyance of the in habitants. It is a struggle for life or death. To secure a favourable termination of it, we require to array a large proportion of our adult population on the frontier. The Burghers are advancing; but, what with horses and oxen knocking up, they are advancing but slowly. When the present levy reaches the frontier, the Governor will be at the head of the largest force ever assembled in this colony—say, 12,000 inhabitants and 3,000 troops. More of the latter are soon expected. The head-quar ters of the 90th, from Ceylon to England, put in for water to Simon Bay, and were instantly sent round to Algoa Bay. The other division is expected to touch; and, if so, they will share the same fate; and the 45th Regiment, from Rio 'Janeiro, is looked for daily. Of the ultimate result I entertain no doubt. We shall beat the enemy; but it will be at a cost to the Home Government, to the Colonial Government, to the frontier inhabitants, beggared by the invasion, to the inhabitants generally, whose property has been seized for the public service, and to the colony at large, which will suffer fdr want of hands to till the ground at this the proper season of the year;—to all these interests success will be purchased, at a cost which it is frightful to contemplate. We must count it, not by thousands, but by hundreds of thousands—#*hapa by millions. God grant us a good deliverance! The loss of life on our side has not been great, whilst the Kafirs have fallen in considerable numbers. Both are consequences of one cause. Since the war of 1835, the Kafir has changed his weapon. Then, be used the assegai —now, be fights with the musket. But he has rarely anything better than a Birmingham article — made, like Hodege's razors, to sell, not shoot—with which he blazes away, doing small damage, but dreaming that he is doing wonders. Encouraged by this notion, he is more daring than before; and is, therefore, more frequently shot down. It may safely be asserted, that more Kafirs have already fallen in this contest than fell throughout the entire of the last war. When (as must soon be the case) their ammunition fails, and they must again have recourse to the assegai, it may be expected that their confidence in themselves will be lowered ; while there can be little doubt, that our Burghers will then proceed with more fearlessness through the bash than they do at present. I believe the Governor's plan to be, to await the coming up of a large irregular force to support the troops, then to divide the latter into two bodies—one, under himself, to enter the ceded territory of Fort Pedaie, and the other, under Colonel hare, to proceed to Fort Beaufort. In the meantime, we see, by the last arrival from Grahamstown, that Sir Andreas Stocken strom has been appointed C o mmandant -General of the Burgher force—a nomination which has restored the confidence of the public in the proper conduct of that body. Leaving people enough to protect Albany and Somerset from any flank march of the enemy, our forces will penetrate the Amatola mountains, where the Gaika and colonial cattle are, and where the enemy must be found in masses, and must fight. But, at present, all is despondency. Burning houses literally redden, every night, the skies of Albany and Somerset; and immense numbers of cattle are driven off More the faces of our troops, too weak to turn out from shelter. Not less than 60,000 head of cattle have been thus carried away, whilst the destruction of sheep has been immense. The enemy are cruel, always destroying the wounded, and uniformly disfiguring the dead. We soon hope for better things. Unlike the last war, this war has no opponents. Mr. Fairbairn, son-in-law of Dr. Philip, and proprietor of The Commercial Ad vertiser, a political writer of rare talents, who strenu ously opposed the last war, strenuously supports this ; and the name of Sir Peregrine Maitland will be taken as sufficient security for the necessity of the war, by a large class in England, who might canvass the conduct of another Governor with more severity. The prayer of every one is, that this war, so disastrous, so expen sive, so harrassing, and so likely to prove protracted, may so terminate as to prove to be the last of our con flicts with these people. A Kaffir war every ten years would ruin us. As it is, this war will throw us back five-and -twenty years. GLASGOW SUBSCRIPTION TO COBDEN.—We learn that at a preliminary meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League, held yesterday, eight gentlemen put down their names for two hundred and fifty pounds each, making two thousand pounds to commence with— Glasgow Saturday Post, ORIGIN AND PROGRESS OF THE CAFFER WAR. (From a private Correspondent of the Northern Whig.) Cape Town, May 15. You will have seen that we are at war with our Caffer, or, to write more correctly. our Kafir, neighbours, who lie along our North-EAstern boundary. There is no good map of the Cape colony. Arrow smith's, and that published by the Useful Knowledge people, are both incorrect. Our boundary, however, is the Great Fish River and the Kat River on the east. In 1819, we bad advanced our limits to the Keir Kamma River, farther up. B u t th e c hi e f s_ and People had been allowed to settle westward of Keis Kamma, and had remained there until in the course of time com plaints of depredations on the colonists became so loud and general that a partial expulsion of some of the tribes was determined upon. The measure was carried into effect with some severity, and at a season of the year unfavourable to the Kafir.. They resented the clearance like Tipperary boys. But they nursed their wrath. and kept it warm, until they had matured their designs, and extended their confederacy ; and then, in December, 1834, they rushed •in numbers into the colony, burning, plundering, and murdering, right and left. Sir Benjamin D'Urban, then Governor (under whom Sir Harry Smith, who won the battle of Aliwal, the other day, then served), hastened to the frontier, called out the inhabitants, collected a large force, gradually worked the Kafirs out of the colony, followed them over the boundary, and at length granted them terms of peace, by which a new province was added to the Cape colony, the eastern boundary of which then became the Great Kye River. Lord Glenelg, taking an unfavourable view of the causes of the war, and believing it, though apparently . aggressive on the part of the Kafirs, to have been, in reality, defensive, rescinded the D'Urban policy, and ordered that the territory between the Keir Kamma and the Kye should be unconditionally abandoned, and that the space between the Great Fish River and the Keis Kamma (called sometimes the neutral territory, and sometimes the ceded territory), should be surrendered to the occupation of the Kafirs, who con sented to receive it as a boon, and to regard it as subject to resumption by the colony, in case of bad behaviour. The conduct of Lord Glenelg, in thus undoing what Sir Benjamin D'Urban had done, is even yet a subject of fierce contention in the colony. But the immense ma jority are against him; and, for my own part, looking at the matter after a ten years' experience, I think his conduct was unwise. He applied to the lands in ques tion English ideas of ownership, inapplicable to the Kafirs and the nature of their occupation. They are, themselves, like every other tribe in South Africa, upon ground which their old men remember the time they took possession of. Their descent is not clearly traced, but they are not the aborigines. They found in those ter ritories the Hottentots, who had exterminated the Bush mans; and the peculiar click of the horrid Hottentot tongue has been, to some extent, adopted by their con querors, whose original language (judging from such kindred dialects as I have heard spoken, was tor mented by no such miserable sound. And in his estimate of the Kafir character, Lord Glenelg was mis led by a good man's sympathy. The Kafir, certainly, never sheds biood for the mere tiger-like delight of shedding it, like the miserable, half-human Bushman. But he is an incorrigible liar and thief, uncivilizable (so to speak), beyond, I imagine, any other savage ; and, though. he does not murder for mere fun, he discovers no regard for either your life or his own, when cattld are in question. The missionaries have wholly failed to make any impression on them. Witch-doctors and rain makers never had more influence in Kafirland than at this moment, and missionaries, I regret to say, never had less ; while I have reason to know, that the custom of the forcible abduction and violation of females, after having been for a time discontinued, has been renewed by Sandilli, the paramount chief of the Gaika tribe, the most numerous and warlike of our immediate neighbours, and has been agreed to be put in force against the families of missionaries, and missionary stations, generally. In regard, moreover, to the cause of the war, Lord Glenelg refined too much, and applied reasonings two much concatenated for the Kafir understanding. I do not find that they themselves defend their attack upon the grounds on which the Secre tary of State supposed them to have been driven to it. But, besides all this, the thing was done; and the true policy, I apprehend, would have been, to regard it as a fait accompli. The Kafirs had become British sub jects, had received British laws, and, in time, might have bean insensibly imbued with the rudiments of Bri tish civilisation. lam far from blaming Lord Glenelg. His dispatches, as published, do him, if he wrote them — or Mr. Stephen, were he the writer—much honour. If he erred, he erred on the noblest side. The Colonial Office should not be judged by the -event. So judged. Lord Stanley's New Zealand policy may well be called mischievous. So judged, Lord Gleneig's Cape policy may well be called the same. Both aimed to secure the rights of the aborigines. Both may end in wars, in which the question simply is—shall the white man die under the native, or the na' ive die under the white man? This is a war of which all past history is a prophecy of the ultimate result. At this moment there is, upon our frontier, w beginning of this end. When the D'Urban policy was overthrown, treaties with the chiefs were entered into. With some of the mummery of that of Waitangi, they contained a princi ple fully comprehended by the Kafirs. The Chiefs were to repress cattle-stealing by their people ; and, when stolen cattle were traced over the border, the Chief of jhe territory into which the "spoor," or trace, was car ried, was to compensate the owner, and punish the thief. To work this system, and render a vigilant executive authority compatible with a supreme Government, six hundred miles distant, in Cape Town, a new officer, called the Lieutenant-Governor of the Eastern districts, was created. The first appointed was, probably, the most remarkable man ever produced in this colony, Sir Andreas Stockenstrom. His father, who was Landrost, or Chief Magistrate, of Graaf Reinet, fell in a bor der foray, under the assigais of the Kafirs. Sir Andreas succeeded to the office, and rose, by energy and ability, still higher. As Lieutenant-Governor, he might have done the colony much service. But he had given evidence, in London, before the Abori gines Committee of 1837 ; and his evidence was sup posed to have pressed har on the colonial character, and, therefore, on his return, as Lieutenant-Governor, he was received with one roar of indignation, from Gra hamstown to Colesberg, which, being a man of excitable temperament, disturbed , him more thu.n, perhaps, was necessary. After remaining a couple of years, he went home, in Sir George Napier's time, to resign. Lord Gle nelg, to whom he tendered his resignation, refused to ac cept it, and pressed his continuance in office. Then Lord Glenelg awoke, one morning, and found his ser vices dispensed with ; and Lord Normanby quitted Ire land, to take charge of the Colonial-office. The new Secretary re-considered the matter, and wrote to Stocken strom, that, in consequence of his unpopularity with the colonists, he considered him unfit to serve the public asLieutenant• Governor. Perhaps this was questionable ground to take. How long would Lord Normanby have been Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, if unpopularity with those whom the Government was de termined to check and control, had been deemed a good ground for recalling him? Then there was, as I have heard, much writing to and fro between the ex-Lieu tenant-Governor and the Secretary of State ; but no thing very satisfactory. The end was, that Lord John Russell, who exchanged offices with Lord Normanby, made Sir Andreas a Baronet, and gave him a compen satory pension of 7001. a-year, charged on the colonial revenue. He has since lived here in private life, be having with much prudence and circumspection. But to myself, as to all who know him, it is a source of no little surprise, that he has not received a Govern ment in some other possession, or, his not in some other way, been brought again into the public service of the Crown. Had Stockenstrom remained to work the treaties which he framed, depredations might have been sup pressed. He knew the Chiefs, and they knew him ; and every inch of their difficult country was as familiar to him as to themselves. Colonel Hare, of the 27th, a right -good soldier, succeeded Stockenstrom in 1839, and has since administered the frontier system. Early and late have he and the successive Governors, Sir George Napier and Sir Peregrine Maitland, worked at this ques tion. If Peel's difficulty be Ireland, the difficulty of every Cape Government has been th e Boers and Blacks beyond us. Sometimes wink in g at d epredations ; some times threatening chastisem ent ; some times trying sub sidies ; sometimes placing troo p s within the ceded terri torythus ; thingssometi w m u e r s e mo u v u i . moving against a gainst a particular delinquent; cry, from th e f ront i er to Cape Town, was continually for protection. Horses and oxen were constantly disappearing, carried off with a dexterity and daring truly wonderful. The mutual understanding, or common consciousness, that seems to exist between a Kafir and an ox he never saw before, beats mesmerism. A peculiar whistle sets the creature flying. But the farmer pays for the Kafir's whistle, which is rather hard. Sir Peregrine Maitland relieved Sir George Napier, in the beginning of 1844. When he visited the frontier in the September of that year, besieged by complaining colonists, he summoned the Chiefs, remonstrated with them, and, in order, if possible, to stop their plunder, remodelled the treaties ; and, for the purpose of further checking them, availed himself of a power, expressly re served by treaty, to establish a military post in the ceded territory. The erection of post Victoria, and the brave words previously uttered, for a time abated the nuisance; but when a conflict beyond the Orange River, between our emigrant Boers and the Baastards, or Griquas, called away the troops from the eastern frontier, to put down the Boers, and protect the Griquas in their lands, de predations began afresh, our complaints became less regarded, and a tone of insolence not previously assumed began to characterise the communications of the Chiefs. Compensation under treaty was refused or delayed on the most frivolous pretences. It 'was easy to see that war was in the wind. Such a state of feeling was but natural. The passion of a Kafir for cattle, like the passion of a miser for gold, is much more intense than a mere desire of property, or of what property will procure. But even cattle are with him only a means to an end. It is with cattle that he buys his wives. A party, sometimes called with us " the War Party," and sometimes " Young Kafirland," has brought on the hostilities in which we are now engaged.
