In the River Scheldt, between the towns of Bergen op Zoom and Antwerp, there exist on both aides of the river large tracts of land to the extent of several miles, which at high water are covered by the sea, and at low Water present a varying surface of several feet in depth of the richest alluvial soil, which is rapidly increasing by the daily action of the tides.. . To reelaint and dispose of this valuable land Is the object of this CouiPanY• The necessary powers for this purpose have been granted by aeon . cession frorn•the King of the Netherlands for the term of 99 years, commencing from August, 1851. The concession provides that in a space between two given lines the Company may recover and enclOSe • land to tho extent of about 35,000 acres. The extreme importance of this undertaking attracted the atten - lion of the Emperor Napoleon, and a barrier nearly identical in situ ation and purpose with that intended by the present Company was —. planned by him, but the decline of the empire prevented the execu tion of-the project. • The adequacy of the proposed - Works to the contemplated result - has been investiga ed by Sir john Rennie, the Engineer , Of the Corn pithy. whosereport will be found annexed, 'The xi atter has likewise been examined by Mr. A. Greve, the • - engineer of the Wateretrast in Rolland, under the authority of she tat* ht the Interior ;by ffir. Joseph Locke apd Mr. G. 'Be.

Iheee i eports may be seen t the Oleo of the C.,inpany. Contracts have been entered into with respon.ible English con tractors for he exe.stion of the works at such prices as will secure the relamation of tae land at about 201 per acre. • The works will be commencer at once, and it is conflthntly ex - WI ed that 4,000 acres vi ill be ready for sale Er cultivation during the present year ; in 1853 a further extent of about 5,00 e acres on • the gorgau'op Zoom side of tie riser will be similarly enclosed; at /ter Periods, successive portions of about 2,500 acres will be an =ally enclosed, until the reclamation of the entire 35,000 acres shall , . have been completed. • In no part of Holland are - the alluvial deposits found to be of so 2 ' l o l and so raluble a quality as in this:province of Zealand; and it:is ,• aftlrrited with certainty that such lands will bear crops for 20 years bieneeession, without the application of manure. In the immediate neighbourhood of the intended reclamation, and Close to the small town of Bath, a considerable amount of land has Ise ( ) acquired by a similar process, and cannot now be purchased at 101 . per acre. • Alluvial land of precisely the same description as that conceded to t he CoMpany, situated at Saeftingen, on the borders of the Western • Scheldt, was lately sold by auction in Zealand by order of the Dutch Government, and realised about 50/. per acre, subject to the addi tional charge of constructing the necessary banks or dykes (estimated at 10/. per acre), making the price in reality at least 601. per acre ; • sal-ions proprietors of lands on the borders of the Western Scheldt, • Whotie lands are worked - - by themselves, are now receiving a net reventte of 81. per acre. The elpenditure uo to the pe iod, and inclusive of the first reels- Thatioa of 7,500 acres, will not exceed 150,000/., and it is expected • that an amount of property wilt b ther4by acquired sufficient to indemnify the shareholders for the capital then advanced, and leave a large, balance for the prosecution f the remaining works. The subsequent reclamation of 'the remaining 27,500 acres, ex leading over a period of ten or twelve years, will furnish the means of division of a large bonus from time to time among the share bol erg. lint of the net profits of the Company a dividend at the rate of 5 Pei cent. per annum will be paid to the shareho'ders en the capital expended and the residue will be applied to th redemption of the eaPital, and to a division in - the sh!pe of bonus in the following . Manner, viz.: 4-6 to the shareholders, st-6 to the pro snOteri, and to the concessionaire, who has ceded his rights to the • 5 resent Compa y. • Initellihg the lands provision has been made for the convenience Of shareholders who may desire to become purchasers, that their shares may be taken in payment of the purchase money at par, or atThe Price of the day.

London, 14th April, 1852. land, your request I have examined the district of 'tuo, conceded by the Dutch Gove r nment to Mr. Dirk Dronk ers, of Middleburg, comprising an extent of about 35,000 acres now co vered at spring tides. The feasibility of reclaiming this va l ua b l e district attracted the no tice of the Emperor Napoleon, and a company was proposed to be formed for that purpose. In 1846 Mr. Rennie saw it, and the idea equally struck him, and be reported accordingly_ Mr. Locke, also, has made a repert to a similar effect, in fact the perfect practicabi lity of the measure cannot be doubted, and the only questions to be considered are -Ist. The cost of reclamation. 2d. The value of the land when reclaimed. With regard to the first- The expense of reclaiming the land may be divided into two parts, viz , the works of the canal and barrier, and the additional sum required to gain the land. I consider the expense of reclaiming the land, including the canal and barrier, will amount to about 201. per acre. And if the land be sold as recovered, and the proceeds applied to further reclamation, Probably only one-half of the proposed capital of 50',0001. will ever be called up. With regard to the second. It appears from the report of com petent authorities, that the land when recite med will be extremely valuable, and may be cultivated so as produce a profit of up wards of 6/. per acre English per a' num ; in order, however, to estimate its real value, it will be better to take the selling price of the day ; from this it appears that on the 16th March last, at a pub lic side at Hulst, in Zealand, by order of the Dutch Government. some unreclaimed lands similar to those conceded to the Company were sold for 50/. per acre, and if to this be added the cost of em bankment the price would be c.O/. per acre. *naming, therefore, the value of the lands of the Company, when reclaimed, viz 35,000 acres, at 601: per acre, the whole would be wbrtte2,loo,ooo/. Now it appears that there are 7,500 acres fit for immediate reclamation, which may. e commenced and carried on Simultaneously with the canal. -4,000 acres of this quantity may be gained this season at a cost of 150,0001.,1including the works of the can it to that period. The 4,000 acres taken at 601. per acre would be 24 0.0001.; and if more land can be r eclaimed this season, which is not , Linprobab:e., the amount will be proportionably -Increased. Next sea son a similar amount of land may be obtained with a like result ; and at;ttaelt succeeding year an additional quantity of land would be reclaimed,.,_ until the - whole quantity eoneede I has been completed. "ottnPosing, however, the land not to be sold, but to be cultivated for the benefffof the Company, then, taking the net profit of 6/. per acre aceording to the Flemish valuation, there would be a revenue of 210,0001. per annum ; and, unlike many other enterprises, the return would commence when only one-third of the capital has been expenided. Making every allowance, therefore, for contingencies, it appears that:there - 1s just ground for expecting a profitable return on - the c.apital. I am, gentlemen, your humble servant„ JOHN RENNIE To the Directors of the Netherlands _Land Enclosure Company. FMIGRATION STATISTICS. Every city, town, village, and hamlet in the kingdom now participates in an enterprising spirit of Colonial Emigration. The accounts from Australia and other places continue to buoy up the ardent hokat of industrious advaiturers : rich soil, healthy climates, cheap land, and valuable mines, are unquestionably advantages of the most important character. To t articularise how many have al ready crossed the great ocean would be useless; every day the tide /lowa Prom all parts, slid preparatiOns are making by Immense num bers. Very. few Emigrants are acquainted with the articles Most ne t cessary for their passage, or know what clothing and utensils will be most useful for them in far distant countries. 'rho !keret:lll3le amount of Busilless E. DIOSES & SON have dispatched in the Outfitting Department, and the many years ex- perience they have had in preparing articles for Emigrants to every part of the world, has given them the entire pre-eminence in the Outfitting Branch, all Emigrants should apply to E. MOSES & SON fortheir Outfits—their snperiority is universally admitted—their suitability for any country is guaranteed—and their prices are lower than at any other House in the World. The Emigrant like wise sto es much valuable time by selecting his Outfit at E.

The Cornwall Railway will complete the-trunk line of cominhnica tion between London, Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth; Falmouth; and Pen zance. The length of the line will'be 63 miles, extending from Ply mouth to Truro and Falmouth, joininz the South Devon Railway at Plymouth, and the West Cornwall Railway "at Truro. It received the sanction of Parliament In 1846; the works were immediately' com menced ; about seven miles of the line were in a very forward state, the land for which was purchased and paid for, when the monetary crisis of 1847 compelled the directors to suspend the works, " . and put an end to the contracts which had been : entered into. . - The present altered state of the money markehiend the greatly reduced price at which ralway works are now being executed, have justified the Directory in submitting to their Shareholders a scheme for a large reduction in the capital of the Company, and, the aban donment of branches not likely to yield an immediate return. . This scheme' having received , he sanction of the PrOprietory; - 4as sub mitted to the Board of Trade, who, by their warrant, 'dated the 26th of March, 1852, have reduced the share capital from UOO,OOOl. to 1,125,0611. Jds capital has by the warrant .been divided into 56,253 shares of 20/. each , assigning to each holder of an original share of 5' 1. two shares of 201. each ; and of an originapshateof 251., one share of 201. ; thereby reducing the nobility of the shareholders 20 per cent. ; all sums of money which have been paid up ,on the 511. and 251. shares are to be deemed to be paid' np on the 201.. shares,'which are substituted for them, amounting to - 31: 15s. per 201. share. The importance of the line as the last connecting link between the metropolis and the extreme western, ports of Fahriduth and Pen zance will be apparent. Falmouth, it is well known, is the-port of call for a large propor tion of our homeward bound shipping; 1,324 vessels have called there during the teat year. The construction of the railway, and the extension of the electrid telegraph would be of immense import ance in the transmission of mails, passengers, cargoes, correspend ence, and communication between the first c.hannei portAnd - alli parts of the empire - . ' . The dangers and delays of the channel navigation are well known to nautical men, and are imme nsel y increased after haying passed the Lizard. Falmouth, immediately within the,Lizard, offers a safe port accessible at all times, and in •AU Weathers, and most easily protected from hostile attack. - Cornwall' is well known throughout the world forlfs mineral wealth, abounding as it does in mines of copper, tin; lead Aron, and other metals; a large proportion of the capital embarked in these undertakings is provided by parties living out of the county. The importance of the line to all persons so interested la obvions. Its fisheries, which ad mit of unlimited eitension; furnish Supplies to the home and foreign markets. Its early, vegetable productions fre quent, _even now sent to London, and . o ther parts o f England ; and Cornwall' will become the garden for the supply of these articles when a railway can secure then' uninterrupted, and rapid transmission. . - .. Penzance, Falmouth, and the various watering-places along the line of the Cornwall Railway, will be eagerly sought by : , visitors and invalids, as soon as the railway shall be extended into she county. _ The population is remarkably locomotive in its habits, and the large amount of local traffic attracts the attention of all, persons visiting the county. The construction of the line involves no engineering difficulties, or extraordinary works, and the directors have offers from responsible con t rac tors to take and com p lete the whole of the works at the p rice peerngiteer'sobestatiimneadteign. the construction of the West the Directors have every reason to believe the Clitn:Fretnreeowd-miaillnitlfaitrßeheaeceliolrlmwpayleted considerably within these estimates, ; The traffic estimated at different periods, and compared with that now realised on the South Devon line, at the eastern extremity, and the West Cornwall at the western, warrants the Directors in statlnik their firm belief that a revenue will be realised, 'which will yield , a high per outage onthe capital to be expended. ..... n iea d tho o f w e ;It: the line lai n6 h ecaivivnee raynational already reeen c t loynr:beninyttteohdr:TOTl vier y a e k a sh e a ra u s p y b ae t nhe been The landowners are very faycurably disposed, and will part with the land which may' be required for the line on very advantageons terms. largepi o n r p t a 4 l n r a c l value of their land in shares. i . r b e y eT . °hg t en h i e siem idmiraity.

Although the extent and importance of t * reeentgold discoveries in California and Australia cane t be er ,esthined, nor the various projected enterprises for their development be undervalued, yet whilst capitalists and others are seeking profitable returns from the investments which now a.sorb so much of public attention transmarine , the attainm ent of the same lucrative results from mining enterprise within our oven Shores should not be overlooked, more especially as the employment and ould, enco in the other, uragement whichheel ven , in theto one case. are furnished to the alien, w na tive industry. En . ouragement to native mining industry has hitherto, except in rtne isolated instances, been coi:fined to the staple mineral re sources of Great B-i , ain, moll as copper, lead, iron, and coal ;'but there: s now an opportunity of profitably applying it to the produc tion of the precious metals, especially go d, within a limited distance of the metrop,lis, Where it is found in as pure a state and in de posits, apparently, as rich as in either of the two modern Dorados. When Six Roderick Murchison first t.rought und , r the notice of the Royal Geographical Society the existence of geld deposits in Aus tralia, be was seavely heeded ; and, in deference to publig impreS sion, the greatest care has bees taken to verify the facts In the in tanceOf the present disCoveries. .o Tlie B r it ann ia Mine is the pro ed Lord P pertiitimore, and is situate about seven miles north of South Molten, towards Exmoer, on the banks of the Mete. The nature of the country is Killas, which is so congenial to the production of metal, and the immediate vicinity of the mine has been more affected by volcanic action than is usual in slinilar positions in Devon and Cornwall. The locality indisputably possesses all the geological conditions requisite for the existence of gold, the fo d. rma- the tion being strictly of the Palzeozoie group, in which alone, an igneous rocks associated with them, is gold ever found in sufficient abundance to be remunerative. The gold of this Company is produced from gozzan and quartz. Several stones, out of a large quantity, equally rich, were promiscu ously taken, and the following assays give the results : Assay Office and Laboratory, 23, Hawley-rado, Kentish-town, London, Dec. 29, 1851. This is to certify that I have examined a &impel, marked "No. 3 gold." I find it contains 27118 per cent. of gold, traces of silver, oxide of iron, and earthy matters, (Signed) JOHN MITCHELL. 116, Leadenhall-street, March Bth, 1852. I Leg to certify that I purchased 152 ounces of iron matrix or gozzan from the mine at North Melton, now the Britannia (promiscuously t a ken from a large quantity, which, called according to my judgment, must have been worth, at least, 4001.) ; and that the same yielded in bulk about eighteen and a half per cent. of gold, 1 carat, 2 grains, above the standard, and for which I paid at the rate if 31. 17e. 9d. per ounce. I bare likewise no hesitation in stating my belief that, from per sonal inspection of the mine, there is a large deposit of the precious metal to be found there. (Signed) BEN TAMIN MASSEY. Iu the future workings it,is imposible to say what quantity of the precious m etal may be found, but e s nough has been ascertained to in duce the most sanguine expectations • hat the result will be highly productive and profitable. The ore ofthe St. John d'El Rey Mining Company, which is one of the oldest Gold Associations, and which has paid dividend for years, yields only about the ravel hundredth part of caw per ceut., that is, 4 oitavas, er less than half an ounce of gold te a ton of ore ; or say, 2001. for every 100 tons of ore. The yield of gold from the Ural mountainsinever exceeded 120 grains of gold from 4,0110 s., or 1% ton of earth, which is less than 4 dwts., or the fifth of an ounce, per ton ; yet the metallic wealth of Russia is produced from this small return, although when first discovered the mines were considered scarcely worth working. In fact, from the mere diffe rence in the system of redUction, and the economy in the modern appliances generally, a return, which at a former period only en tailed a loss, will now, it is well known, yield a profit. • In addition to these extraordinary rich stones, it is found that the whole of the gozzan is impregnated with gold, about 300 tons of which, hitherto regarded as mere rubble. are now sted on surface ready W to be crushed. These have been eatisfactorily te. Captain .S. M oo rsern, on the 22d ult. as will be seen by the annexed report, took specimens, indiscriminately, scorn the heaps, exposed for years to weather and pilferage,: which he has had assayed, and the exis tence of the precious metal has been clearly established. Mr. Long maid, the Astayist, and inventor and patentee of a peculiar chemical process for the separation of metals from their matrix, has likewise assayed some of these stones, in which gold is not manifest to the naked eye, and says — This is to certify that I have examined the following samples, and find their contents as under :—No. 1, smalls, gold 8 oz. 6 dwt.s. 14 grs. per ton, (Signed) WILLIAM LONGMAID. 31, Beaumont -square, London, 3d Mo. 30, 1852. Tile Copper, for which this mine was originally opened, being also rich to an extraordinary degree, warrants the expectation that when the workings, which are now so shallow, are carried to a greater depth, the most profitable results will ensue. Mr. Mitchell at the same period (19th of December last) likewise assayed the copper, and says— This is to certify that I have examined a sample, marked " No. 2, Copper Stone." I find that it contains 32 per cent of copper, traces of silver, iron, sulphur, and traces of earthy matter, All the necessary machinery for mining purposes is already on the roperty, to which the modern appliances for the reduction of gold will of course be added. The edit is driven 81 fathoms, the engine . shaft is down 10 fathoms below the adit ; the western shaft is sunk 9 fathoms; the water-wheel is 25 feet diameter, with 3V, feet breast, and the counting-houses, smiths' and carpenters' shops, material house, and all other buildings, are in good _order. The water-power is unbounded, and the leat home to wheel. A fall of 200 feet can be obtained, so that there are inexpensive means available of sinking the shaft to any depth.

My Lord,-1 had the honour to receive on the Ist inst., at King William's Town, your Lerdship's dispatch, No. 732, of the 14th January last, intimating to me that her Majesty's Government had deemed it an unavoidable duty to relieve me from my present position; that my Sovereign had ap proved of the measure, and that my successor was home diately to leave England. At that period, however, such were the prospects of this war, and so rapid the progression towards that state of things which can alone perpetuate peace (best ehown by the proclamation issued by me on the 6th of February, and again enclosed), that a sense of the duty which has guided me in the service of my Sovereign and country for so many years induced me to persevere in the preparatory steps I had taken for the expulsion from certain strongholds within the colony of the rebel Gaikas and Hot tentots under the wily Chief Macomo, a renegade from the authority of his paramount Chief Sandilli - as also fur ex pelling the Gaika tribes from British Kafraria, and driving them over the Great Kei. My intention was communicated to your Lordship in my dispatch of the 16th ult. 2. I have the honour, therefore, to report that, on the sth inst., I moved the 12th Lancers and a large detachment of the Cape Mounted Rifles under Lieutenant-Colonel Pole; two guns Royal Artillery, the 6th, 60th, and four companies of the 45th Regiment, with detachments of Hottentot and Fingoe levies, under Lieutenant-Colonel Michel; two guns Royal Artillery, the 43.1 Light Infantry and 73d Regiment, and detachments of Hottentot and Fingoe levies, under Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre, all well supplied with provisions, to the general rendezvous at Fort Beaufort, where I es tablished my head-quarters. 3. On the 4th inst. Major-General Somerset had a smart affair with the enemy in the Waterkloof, in which the 91st Regiment greatly distinguished itself; Lieutenant-Colonel Yarborough, of that Regiment, and Captain Bramly, of the Cape Mounted Rifles, having, however, been severely; and Ensign Hibbert, of the 91st, slightly wounded. The chief Macomo fought with great determination; but 100 head of cattle and 40 horses were captured— the best criterion of success. Subsequently to this affair such part of Major-General Somerset's division as was available for the field, consisting of the 91st Regiment, four companies of the 74th Highlanders, the Cape Mounted Rifles, and strong de tachments of Hottentot and Fingoe levies, was assembled at Haddon's Old Post, on the western end of the low mountain range forming the Waterkloof, Blinkwater, and Fuller's Hoek ; the best position it could occupy with reference to my in tended operations. 4. Meanwhile Lieutenant-Colonel Perceval, with a de tachment of loyal Artillery and a gun, with rockets, the 12th Regiment, detachments of the 91st Regiment, Cape Nlounted Rifles, and Armstrong's Horse, and Hottentot and Fingoe levies, and Burghers, had been ordered to act on the enemy's position in the Fish River Bush. heed various posts of defence in the neighbourhood of my B p li r nk op wate o r, and scene of action, viz., Whittlesea, Eland's post, Post Retief, were at the same time strengthened for the pur pose of patrolling. 5. Oa the 9th inst. the troops marched to establish them selves on their respective bases of operation, as set forth in the instructions annexed; and I established my head-quar ters at the Blinkwater Post, a commanding and central position. 6. On the 10th inst. the several officers in havingcomn— viz., Lieutenant - Colonels Mi chel, Eyre, and Napier, well reconnoitred the strong positions held by the rebels, moved forward to the attack. The en es emy was e Lieu t verywhere we ll prepared, and received them, pecially lenan Colonel Eyre, whose column I ha d reinforced with two addi tional guns and two companies of the 7lth from the Blink water Post, with hiS usual warcry, and even snore than com mon demonstrations of defiance. 'The enemy opposed to Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre was well and judiciously posted in that part of the range called Fuller's Hoek, very extensive and densely wooded, and where Macomo's " den," as they termed ar it, was almost so strongly s ituated in a deep kloof as to be regarded es sible. By the activity of Captain Faddy, of the Royal Artillery, the four guns were, with incredible exertion, dragged up a precipitous ascent, j u diciously posted and w ell served, aided by rockets. The Lieutenant-Colonel moved upon these savages in eight small columns of attack, and the troops carried everything before them. Every ob stacle was speedily overcome, and a well-known and most difficult pass, held stoutly by the enemy, was gallantly carried by Captain Campbell, of the 73d regiment, with a company of his own corps and two companies of the 43d Light Infantry.. The troops crowned the heights, where they burnt many villages, destroyed some cultivation, drove the enemy before them in every direction, and bivouacked for the night. 8. On the following day, the 11th instant, Lieutenant- Colonel Eyre made the most able disposition of his troops, so as to descend the mountain and effectually dislodge the enemy from those positions which the columns had been able only to pass through on the previous day. His special object also was to assail the den and stronghold of Macomo, the destruction of which I regarded as a great step towards the humbling of the rebels; for although Sandilli and the Gaikas affected humility and a desire for peace, I well knew that all eyes were intent on the result of these operations. Colonel Eyre, aware of the imporksuace I attached to this service, headed the column for the assault of the I)en, the descent to which was found by the assistance of a captured woman, a flight of natural steps affording great means of de fence _This column was most successful, though stoutly resisted; the Den was carried, the four guns firing into it with sanguinary effect, and 130 women, now prisoners, were found stowed away in the clefts of rock. Among them i 3 Macomo's young and favourite wife, as also his great wife, a Tambookie, much regarded among the tribe, and mother of his great son Namba. Large quantities of European wearing apparel, provisions of different kinds, some little gunpowder, a bullet mould and supply of lead in bars, were found in the Den, which was completely destroyed and the huts con sumed. The number slain by our guns was very great, eleven having been found in one spot and seven in another, and many fell in the assault. Meanwhile Captain Campbell made his way down the difficult pass by which he had as cended the day before, and was again stoutly resisted by the enemy in front and flank. Here three gallant soldiers of the 7.3 d Regiment fell, another being at the same time wounded, and further on Lieutenant the Hon. Henry Wrot testy, of the 430, received a mortal wound. 9. The carrying by our troops of this " Den," heretofore regarded as inaccessible, has had throughout the effect of magic, and no positive resistance has since been offered. Colonel Eyre continued his operations through the whole of the extensive fastnesses of the Fuller's Hoek and adjoining kloofs, but the enemy appeared no more. On the 15th inst. he again ascended the passes, and revisited Macomo's Den, to show the enemy our determination to expel him. Not a sin gle Kafir was to be seen, and Colonel Eyre and the rest of the officers, who had then leisure for observation, describe the loss suffered by the enemy as evidently very considerable, and much greater than they had believed. It, indeed, could not well be otherwise, exposed as he was to the tire of four well-directed guns and rockets, and so hemmed in that he necessarily suffered severely from musketry and even from the baycnet. 10. On the same day, the 10th instant, Lieutenant-Colonel Michel's column moved from Blakeway's Farm, ascended the heights, the guns being with great exertion brought up an almost impracticable acclevity, and occupied the dense bush connecting Fuller's Hoek with the Waterkloof, for merly the scene of considerable conflict. Every part of this bush was well traversed, and many kraels destroyed. Few of the rebel Hottentots or Kafirs showed themselves, until Lieutenant-Colonel Napier's column, ascending the valley of the Waterkloof, entered the narrow and bushy defile which forms its head. Here he was fiercely attacked, the onset of the enemy being, according to his usual custom, especially directed to the rear of the advancing column. This was, however, judiciously anticipated by Colonel Napier, who advantageously posted the 91st Regiment, under Major Forbes, so as to resist the attack. The rebels were daring on this occasion, and well sustained the fight until they saw Colonel Michel advancing, when they gave way in every direction and fled into the dense bush to escape pursuit. 11. On the following day these two columns acted simul taneously, driving the enemy before them, and destroying his villages in the Waterkloof. On the third day it was neces sary for both to procure provisions at their respective bases of operation. Col. Michel very judiciously took the opportunity to report himself to me; and 1 at the same time ascertained that 200 Boers of the district of Somerset and the I..ouap had arrived at Haddon's Old Poet. Upon this, I immediately dispatched Major-General. Somerset, whom I had retained with me at head-quarters, to take the command of these burghers, and of Colonel Napier's column. On doing so the Major-General at once ascended the heights overhanging the Waterkloof, bringing up his two guns by a very difficult ascent, and then proceeded to penetrate the bush with his infantry, while his mounted force watched the open, thus acting simultaneously with Colonel Michel In these opera tions the enemy showed little resistance. On the afternoon of the 15th inst. , obs ervin g a number of the enemy in poss session of cattle in a dee p valley, General Somerset d he i r ; patched his mounte d force of Cape Corps andg, under Lieutenant-Colonel Napier, in pursuit. 130 bead, and man y horses were captur ed, several of the rebels slain, and some fifty women and children made prisoners. having 12.

On the mornin of the 15th inst. Captain Taylor, with his company of Rottentot levies, had a sharp affair with a party of the rebels, and cap tured it horses. This was the last occasion on which the enemy appea red. Colonel Michel describes Captain Taylor's company of levies as deserving the name of soldiers. 13. On the 10th inst. Lieutenant-Colonel Perceval, with his column strengthened by the force assembled from Graham's Town and its neighbourhood, and aided by a few burghers of that town, attacked the strong position of the Chief Stock , in the Fish River Bush, i n two d ivi s i ons , under himself and Major Armstrong, These simultaneous well-con d u cted movements, in a very difficult country, were and comp letely buccolful and After a sharp ccullityt, ILI which . iE GOTIN TRY MARKET.IPSWICH, • 114. y 11.

Colonel Perceval much praises the conduct of Major Arm strong, the enemy were driven from every point. 190 head of cattle were captured as well as large flocks of goats, some horses, and several stand of arms; among the latter the double-barrelled fowlingpiece of the Chief Dodo, who is believed to have fallen in the fight. The enemy was so hotly p us h e d as to dr i ve a sma ll h er d o f cattle into . the Fish River, whi c h was f u ll . Ni neteen o f these and a Kafir were shot in the act of swimming. Colonel Perceval was pre paring, when I last heard from him, to attack the Chief Tula, who occupied a position somewhat higher up the river; , of whom he wil, no doubt, give a good account. 14. Your Lordship will perceive, by the instructions which I inclose, th at Lieutenant-Colonel Pole, with the 12th Lancers, has been placed intermediately between Eland's Post and Post Retief, so as to intercept fugitives from the Waterkloof range of mountains during the progress of the operations which I have described. The different posts on the line of the enemy's retreat into the Anaatolas have also detached parties to occupy the numerous drifts of the rivers; and the Fingoes of Fort Beaufort and Fort Hare have been most successful in capturing horses and cattle and in adding to the consternation of the rebels, They were fleeing yesterday in all directions, in the dis tance, past this post— men, women, and children, without cattle; and I pronoun ce these difficult, and heretoforewell-maintained, positions of the enemy viz., the Water kloof, Blinkwater, and Fuller's Iloek, to be now completely cleared. 15. This day, the 17th inst., the columns of Lieutenant- Colonels Michel and Eyre, under my immediate command, move, with five days' provisions, on the Ch um i e range of the Arnatolas, for the purpose of dislodging the tribe of Tyalie and the rebel Hottentots, and then penetrating into the heart of the mountains, while I leave Major-General Somer set with his division to pursue the retreating enemy, 200 Cradock burghers, under the Civil Commissioner, Mr. Gil- Han, operating at the same time from Whittlesea against the Tambookies. Every part of the rebel enemy's country will thus be assailed. 16. I deeply regret, for the credit of the frontier inhabit ants, to report that only 200 burghers from the district of Somerset, 200 from Cradock,,and 33 from Graham's Town., have responded to my command. They first objected to the volunteer system which I offered to their loyalty. They then requested to be commanded to turn out. Their shuffling conduct is melancholy. There are many loyal and energetic men who do not fall under this censure, especially the burghers of Albert, under Mr. Cole, who, although they have not turned out on ;this last occa sion, having been only just dismissed after a long an haras sing though successful inroad over the tipper Kei, have done right good service during the war. 17. I am fully aware that I have been accused, during the progress of the campaign, of using the language of hyperbole in describing this numerous recontres which have occurred, and in giving praise to the gallant officers and troops as well as burghers. Possessing, however, some experience in war, I must maintain that such is not the ca , e. Troops acting in the open field expect not the stimulous of praise; the sol dier sees his foe, and his British courage rises at each step ; but he who, after, perhaps, a night march of great length, has to ascend mountains or penetrate dense bush and ravines, filled probably with a daring and intrepid enemy, as resolute as athletic, ready to murder any one who may fall into his hands, and whose warfare is of the most stealthy and enterprising kind, appreciates the praise of his commander, because when his acts are conspi cuous ly d ar i ng h e i s con scious he deserves it. lle does his duty; but human nature renders even the soldier's intrepid heart sensible of the ap probation of his superior, which he is proud to know may reach the eye of his parents and friends. 18. Upon the eve, therefore, of relin qu i s hi ng this com mand. I will not shrink from the performance of my duty; and I here record the value I attach to the i n d e f at i ga bl e services of Major-General Somerset, who se exper i ence o f thirty years in Kafir warfare, its difficulties and its labours, render him a most valuable, as he is a highly deservin g officer. Lieutenant-Colonel Michel, of the Gth Royal Regim en t, h as frequently distinguished himself in command, and on no oc casion more so than in the recent affair of the 15th instant, cm the" Iron Mountain ;" his energy in the field is equal to his zeal and attention to regimental duty. Lieutenant-Col. Nesbitt, of the 60th Rifles, merits much praise, and 1 re gret that I have only been able on one occasion to give him a separate command. Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre, perpetually in the field since the commencement of hostilities, has been so frequently praised by me for his invariable success in every operation intrusted to his conduct, that what I now add enhances, and does not merely establish, his reputation. I must here record my opinion of the soldierlike and judicious manner in which he carried and cleared the stronghold of the enemy in Fuller's hock, a position occupied with defiance by Macomon ; and express my conviction that the was would remain unextinguished until that determined chief should be, as he has been, thoroughly dislodged and expelled. This has been effected in a masterly manner by the gallantry, judgment, and perseverance of Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre. The 73d Regiment first set the example, under my orders, of taking the bush ; they have been ever most successful, and the other regiments have emulated their exertions with equal results. Lieutenant-Colonel Pole has commanded his efficient regiment, the 12th Lancers, with zeal and activity. Lieutenant-Colonel Napier, of the Cape Mounted Rifles, has frequently been entrusted with the direction of patroles, which he has ever well conducted. Lieutenant-Colonel Yarborough, of the 91st, is a steady officer, awl greatly distinguished himself on the day he was wounded. The 2d Queen's Regiment have, upon this occa sion, occupied the different forts; their services during the camp .ign under Lieutenant-Colonel Burns have been valuable. ` Lieutenant -Colonel Skipwith, of the 43.1 Light Infantry, is an officer of much promise. Lieutenant- Colonel Perceval, of the 12th Regiment,. has greatly at tracted my attention by his exertions , ability, and natural talent for command. Major Kyle , commanding the four companies of the 45th Regiment , is a very val uable officer, and there is indeed no field officer, from the gallant Major Pinckney, of the 73d, downwards—the senior of his rank is this army—who has not well performed his many arduous duties. 19. I fear, my Lord, that I render this a lengthy dispatch. At the wind up of a fifteen months' campaign, desultory, it is true, but on that account and opposed as we have been to from 20,000 to 25,000 intrepid warriors, probably of even a more than usually arduous character, much labour will naturally have devolved up on . the officers of the staff, gene ral as well as personal. I desire to draw your Lordship's at tention to the services of Colonel Cloete, the chief of the staff, whose unremitting zeal in the performance of the many duties devolving upon him has been as remarkable as the in telligence and perfect knowledge of his profession which he has invariably evinced. I are deeply indebted to him, and the service equally so. Every officer of the general staff has ably and zealously done his duty. To Lieutenant- Colonel Garvock, m y private secretary, and Captain Maydwell, my military secretary, who have had the largest share of correspondence of every varied character of any officers in this army, lam truly grateful. Their devotion to the public service merits every encomium. The perseverance of these officers has greatly contributed to insure that eco nomy in the public expen diture which I have endeavoured to enforce, and 1 hope with much success. My aide•de-camps, Major Holdich, Captain S mith, and Lieutenant Greville, have filled their situations with great utility to me and labour to themselves. The officers and soldiers of this army, one and all, have un dergone continued labour and fatigue in the prosecution of a most difficult warfare , extending over a territory larger than England, wtth that energy and courage conveyed by the words " British soldiers."—l have, &c., H.

As nearly every one of these belong to the dark division, it will naturally be an in teresting race, especially as several of the debutantes are very promising animals, particularly Mr. Stephenson's PizmoN.

SUPERINTENDENT, Monsieur Boutif„My (D'Evreux) (formerly President of the Pharma ceutical and Chemical Society of Parls, Stc., &c.) This Company will be enabled to manufacture and vend, under a patent for Great Britain and the colonies, a superior quality of Candles, almost equal to sperm,* at a price so low as to command universal consumption, and yet at a cost yielding a large and in creasing profit to the shareholders. The consumption of Candles of this description in Great Britain, India,.ana the colonies, is so immense, the mode of manufacture adopted so economical, and the quality of the article produced so one o f the largest and most superior, as to ensure to t he Company profitable mercantile operations of the day. Considerable sales of these Candles, hitherto manufactured in Paris, have been effected in this country and the colonies, and al though charged with freight, customs, or colonial duty and expenses, amounting to more than 20 per cent., have still left a very satisfac torY result. From a close investigation of the manufactory in Paris, it is con fidently anticipated that, in aidition to the advantageous results secured by the patent proce, the in manufacture will ue moth greater here than inFrance-thecost of the raw materials being much l ess, foreign candles will be altogether avoided. while the extra duty payable in the colonies upon It is proposed to issue 4,000 shares, which it is deemed will pm s t u o ffi th e e ie e n i t itostisngtashblaisrhehtlotiedeCros.mpany n a sound basis.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC• We have received the Paris journals of yesterday They are filled with accounts of the splendid review of Monday. The Debuts says that: several of the colonels, nu receiving the flags, cri, d " Vive la President!" but that the majority cried " Vivo Napoleon!" The Morriteur and other Governna:nt papers are silent on the subject of the cries. No body of all those who passed cheered the PEEK' DENT more loudly than the Lancers, whose small tri coloured pennant at the end of the lances fluttered con tinually in the breeze, and produced a charming effect. By a curious contrast, whereas a good part of the in fantry had passed before the PRESIDENT at great speed, the various bodies of cavalry crossed his line of 'brim at a slow walk, but then galloping round as they turned to the right down the field. Nothing could be more splendid than the appetrrance of these troops; they seemed to move as a single man, and it was remarked that the heavy cavalry, the Cui rassiers and the Carbineers were exceedingly enthuaias tic in their demonstrations towards the PRESIDENT, the cry of Vive rEmpereur!" being more frequent amongst them than amongst the other corps. As the pupils of St. Cyr passed the PRESIDENT they cheered him loudly, and then on the word being given they turned down the Champ de Mars right shoulder forward in double quick time, with such extraordinary precision, notwithstanding their running, that the spec tators_ burst forth into involuntary applause. The Foot Chasseurs all passed before the PRESIDENT at the Same rapid speed, their bugles in front playing, and Sae crowd s a t p r p lk la in u g most g din pointso f ku this uly '. o the recently blessed standards were curried before the part B o u f hO li p a r t o w c e a e s d i o n n g e s f w t I s e w m h o o a n t PRESIDENT in great state, accompanied by a guard of honour, composed of non-commissioned officers all de corated. The band played at the time the march from the " Cheval de Bronze," and the whole body then passing was so soldierliko in appearance that the loudest applause burst out from the crowd and continued lo' some time. The standards were, after the day's pro ceedings, placed in one of the rooms of the Ecole taire, and will be immediately forwarded to their re spective regiments. _ Whilst the defile of the troops was being commenced; the PRINCE PRESIDENT rode to the spot where the Arab chiefs were waiting on their horses near the grand tri bune, and spoke to them through their interpreter, stating what was about to take place. Throughout the day the deputation of the Arab chiefs excited great in terest from the picturesque strangeness of their attire, and the dignity of their appearance and demeanour. They were in general handsome men, of about the middle age, of middle stature, with short black beards and white burnous. They bore their part in the cere mony with an unimpassioned indifference, nearly ap proaching to apathy, unless when by chance some point of the proceedings awakened a sympathetic feeling in their minds; and then all at once they started for an instant into life, only to make the subsequent quiesoenee into which they subsided the more striking. The PRINCE was dressed in the uniform of a general officer, with doeskins and large military boots, and wore the grand cordon of the Legion of Honour. He rode in front of his brilliant cortege, on a dark bay charges, which ho managed with great skill. This beautiful animal, which is English bred, was bought by the Pas- SIDENT for 300 guineas, and is considered by competent judges to be cheap at that price. The saddle-014h of the PRINCE was one mass of gold embroidery, and well befitted the noble animal which bare it, and the oeos sion. The PRINCE occasionally took off his plumed hat as he passed the different regiments. There were up wards of ono hundred English officers on the ground, many of them in the uniforms of the Guards. The musical mass was executed under the direction of M. ADOLPHE ADAM. The effect produced by he performance of the several pieces was exceedingly fibs. The bands of 21 regiments of infantry. of 9 regiments of cavalry, 154 pupils of the musical school of the army. and the pertormers on M. Sex's gigantic instruments tn the Jail Errant, made a body of more than 1,500 mutt clans.
