R 0 T HER LIVERYMEN,—I have now the pleasure to thank y ou for supporting the show of hands o n Michaelmas day. alth The two who wer e th en nominated you have triumphantly chosen, ough. a poll was demanded, expressly to test your confidence in that return. To the result I advert with great satisfaction; the nu merical difference merely creates a nominal distinction without Weakening the force of your choice. InnY unfounded aspe rs i ons were cast upon me at the last moment, at a time when contradiction was impossible; yet oven on the hust ings I received spontaneously that evidence which completely esta bltshes the fact that the writer of the, anonymous letter, signed " Truth," asserted a gross falsehood. LTo such misrepresentations I attribute the loss of some support, or I might have sto o d hi gher on the poll. Another instance proving sedulously malignant have been the attacks on me. Ir ish So Mr. Anderton's placard, w i th respect to the non-payment of the ciety's Fees to Counsel, has been contradicted by the gent le- Man who made the payments, in a declaration taken by the Lord Mayor. Between Sir George Carroll and myself there has been no contest. The contest has been with the persons demanding a poll. Thus leaving upon the point truly in issue a majority of 1321 in my favour a Position which I have reason to, ba proud of, but more so—to be grateful. ft was your general supp or t of the . accused —it was your manly amand hearty determinaticit to aid the oppressed—and grateful indeed I that 3ou have ilisti ff ed the opinion whi c h h as b een made to you, it assures me Saar you are not unmindful of services faithfully performed.

Alderman Wood is very ill-used, if the solemn assertions of hilt committee are true, and if he did not appropriate to his private uses money that was entrusted to him for immediate payment to others; and there still remains the fact, that if Mr. Anderton's version is right, an audacious falsehood has been wilfully published, to pervert and mislead the judgment of the public. There still, too, remains the important necessity that the business should be cleared up for the satisfaction of civic honour. ADVERTISER.—The tenourof the intelligence from India during the last two or three months has been by no means of a satisfactory nature; the news last received, especially, betokens a probably early interruption of the state of " armed peace" which now prevails in the upper provinces of the Indian peninsula. The Punjaub, in which we were promised such an abundant harvest of peace and good government for our " moderation," after. the rout of the Seikh forces, is one universal scene of anarchy and rebellion. The profligacy of the Queen- Mother, the dissolute conduct of the chief Minister, Lall Singh, and the incompetency of the youthful Maharaja, Dhuleep Singh, are elements which could lead to no other result. It was to be expected that the warlike chiefs of the Seikhs would laugh at and despise such a mockery of a Government—a Government that is entirely sustained by the British forces. Even this ' protection afforded by us is a source of danger to the Lahore Durbar, inasmuch as it excites a feeling of mistrust in the minds of the Seikh soldiery, who, burning to revenge the losses they sustained at Aliwal and Sobraon, include their pre sent rulers in the hatred they bear to their Feringhee conquerors, and would gladly involve both in one com mon vengeance. It is evident that the presence of the imposing force we have now at Lahore alone prevents a repetition of the sanguinary scenes which followed the death of the old lion of the Punjaub, Runjeet Singh, and that were that force once withdrawn from Lahore, the murder of every individual supposed to be favourable to the British power, would be the immediate consequence. Meanwhile, Ghoolab Singh, a Prince whom we fondly imagined we hadyendered completely subservient to our inteirests, whoire-we — him rtirs cI to sover — eign dignity, Wrom it might have been thought gratitude at least would have made our friend, has proved himself our most dangerous opponent. He is straining every nerve to injure us, and still further to aggrandise himself. The hills of Cashmere do not suffice for his desire, the dignity of a tributary Raja is too petty for his ambition ; he will be satisfied with nothing less than the entire dominions of Runjeet Singh. In this, however, he displays that " vaulting ambition which o'erleaps itself, and falls on the other side," for the heterogeneous combination of states that formed the empire of Runjeet Singh, and which it required all his talent to keep in order, would scarcely be restrained by the hand of so distant a coun terpart as Ghoolab Singh, whose highest state-craft is a temporising hypocrisy, and whose policy is entirely des titute of the mixture of caution and energy that marked the Government of our ancient ally. Moreover, the first step taken by Ghoolab Singh towards the attainment of his ambitious designs, would bri ng hi m i n t o co lli s i on with the British ; for it cannot for an instant be supposed that we would allow the arrangement made by us at so' great a cost—whether wisely or not we will not now stop to argue—to be thus disturbed. The purposes for which that arrangement was made would be completely prevented if Ghoolab Singh were permitted to disturb the balance of power in the Punjaub, as the sole condition by which he could retain the least vestige of authority over the Seikhs would be to lead them again across the Sutlej, for the double object of plunder and revenge. One thing, however, seems to be wholly lost sight of; in the discussions upon this subject—th . at is, the condition of the people, who form the great bulk of the Punjabi population, apart from the Seikh sol diery, who constitute a very small fraction of that na tion, and whose sole occupation is the oppression and ill-treatment of the rest. There can be no doubt that the Hindoo population of Lahore would hail with delight any measure that would relieve them from the tyranny under which they now languish, and that would tend to assimilate them to the other nations of Hindostan who enjoy, directly or indirectly, the blessings of British rule and British protection. Grave, indeed, must have been the considerations that could have induced Sir Henry llardinge to ;gainsurrenderthis unfortunate peoplo to the unrestrained licentiousness and brutality of their Seikh rulers, and it cannot be doubted that a heavy responsibility rests upon him for so doing. The question is not, however, yet settled; serious events must shortly occur, to again bring the whole subject under discussion, when we hope a wiser and better po licy will be pursued.

Santa Anna, with his family and several friends, left Havannah on board the Arab, hired steamer, on the evening of the Bth of August, expecting to anticipate the arrival, at Vera Cruz, of the Royal M a il steam - sh i p Medway, which sailed the following afternoon. On the afternoon of the 10th the Medway passed the Arab, and which vessel did not arrive at Vera Cru z unt il the morn ing of the 16th. The captains of the United States blockading vessels had orders to offer no oppos i t i on to the landing of Santa Anna ; indeed, so far from it, that Commodore Corner desired that an officer might be sent on board to congratulate the General on his return to Mexico. The Medway was allowed to land her mails, passengers, and quicksilver, and to receive passengers, mail, and specie, but no other merchandi se . A b out the 17th of August, the United States brig Truxton, whilst chasing a Mexican schooner, ran upon the ba r o f Tus pan, and became a wreck — one boat's crew ma d e th e i r escape, and the remainder surrendered th emse l ves pri soners of war.

Th e R ar i tan left some time ago with 120 sick ; the Potomac left fo r Pensa scAnton cola, on the 30th of August, with 90 sick ; and the Commodore's ship, the Cumberland, was said to have 120 sick. There seems to be no idea of attacking St. Juan d'Ulloa ; nor would the present forces in the Gulf have the slightest chance of success. S anta Anna was warmly received by the military, but very coolly by the people generally. From Vera Cruz he went to his estate of Encerro, about four leagues from Xalapa, and did not leave for Mexico until the 28th of August. Great preparations were making in th e c i ty for his re ception. The following members of the new Ministry had been named : —Gomez Fariar, F inance ; Almonti, War ; Bijou, F ore ign Affairs ; and Pochico, Interior. About the 10th of August the boats of the American squadron went into the harbour of Alvarados, for the purpose of cutting out two schooners. Th e y were op posed by a small sand battery with two guns, and re treated without success—they themselves attributing their failure to the strength of the current preventing them from reaching the vessels. The day before the Medway left Vera Cruz a Bremen brig, name unknown, attempting to break the blo c k a d e , was detained; and having been previously warned off, was made a prize by the Americans. It was reported, when the Medway left, that in some of the provinces a counter-revolution was being got up in favour of Heirera, Santa Anna not being universally popular with this flekle-minded people. Paredes was still in confinement s but little doubt ex isted that as soon as things assumed a quieter aspect he would be released. All accounts agree that the Americans will not at tack the Castle of St. Juan d'Ulloa,. and, indeed, that little or no blood wit be spilt in their warfare with. the Mexicans. The s pi r it fur war was evidently or the decline. The formation of the new Ministry by Santa Anna had, generally, given much satisfaction. '.'II E KAFIR WAR. Files of papers from the Cape of Good Hope, to the 2d of August, two days later date than those by the previous arrivals, have been received. There is no de cisive news ; but the subjoined extracts are not without public interest. The conduct of the Colonial forces is in all respects admirable. (From the South African Commercial Advertiser, Aug. 1.) The Graham's Town Journal contains numerous inci dents of the guerilla contests still carried on between small parties ofKafirs and colonial forces on the frontier. Though each by itself is of no decisive character, the whole is a singularly exciting exhibition of personal energy, courage, and address. Not a day, scarcely an hour, but has its skirmish • a cunning inroad only dis covered by the capture and disappearance of herds of cattle, sheep, or horses ; then comes the alarm, the pur suit, and fierce struggle, in which quarter is neither offered nor would be accepted. The weapons are the spear, the arrow, and the musket, with an occasional roar from the cannon. Deeds of heroisin are every day achieved that, in ordinary times, would elicit universal applause, but which seem to be regarded at the moment, both by the actors and spectators, as mere ordinary events. Every one of these attacks is like the rush of a forlorn hope into the breach ora fortress. The enemy is posted behind jutting rocks, broken cliffs, and dense bush, through which the in trepid assailant has often to force his way on hands and knees. Suddenly in this horrid shade the combat opens hand to hand, and the faces of the combatants are scorched with the fire of each other's guns. Such were Homer's battles, when to the sword and flying death of the bow, Jupiter added cloudy darkness and thunder. It shows how nearness and familiar names reduce the sublime, when such men and such deeds are thought of without emotion. But they cannot be forgotten, and time will do them justice. The latest intelligence from the head-quarters of the three divisions under Sir P. Maitland, Colonel Hare, and Sir A. Stockenstrom, lead to the expectation that some actions of a decisive character were not many days dis tant, perhaps not many hours. Forces, amounting to nine or ten thousand men, are evidently moving simul taneously on'the rugged fastnesses of the Amatola hills, where the Kars are supposed to have concentrated their strength and their wealth, that is, their herds and flocks. They are said to be fortifying the passes, dig ging pits, armed at the bottom with stakes, and covered with deceptive turf, as they were accustomed heretofore to entrap elephants and lions. That they will resist is certain, and it cannot be but that the contest will p rove a bloody one. Private letters bring the history of the divisions under Stockenstrom and Hare down to the 23d July. The following passages are from a private letter, written a Fort Beaufort : " Fort Beaufort, July 22, 1846. " On the 9th inst. Sir A. Stockenstrom was at Fort Beaufort, where he had an interview with Col. Hare about the dissatisfaction prevailing in the Burgher Legers, in consequence of the delay in taking the field; the Gallant Colonel is said to have acceded to Sir A.'s moving his force into the field immediately, and that he would follow to support him. The Kat River is said to be placed under Sir A., I need not say to the joy of all there. On the 10th Sir A. left for Tarka and Tam bookieland, in consequence of dispatches, the purport of which was as follows:—At the instance of the diplo. matic agent, Mr. Fynn, Mr. Joseph Read, commander of the Bushmen and Fingoe subsidies, was ordered to proceed to the missionary institution of Shiloh to pro tect it; of course there must have been cause for ordering a force there. On a certain day the perfidious Mapassa, under a pretext of an interview with Mr. Read, marched on the station in three divisions. On his approaching the place, Mr. Read sent a messenger to him to know the object of such a demonstration, taking at the same time every precaution against a sudden surprise. He and one of the missionaries of the place had a consultation with Mapassa, and tried to dissuade him from an attack on the station. The missionary retired, and Mr. Read, after a little more conversation, told Mapassa he had better draw off his men and be gone. At this instant, some of Mapassa's men were seen loading, and preparing to fire; and as Mr. Read was moving towards the furthest point of his own line to check some of the sons of the soil (bushmen), who were becoming rather excited and res tive on seeing what the Tambookies were up to, he was fired at, and which was twice repeated. Hereupon one of the bushmen fired, and killed a Tambookie, when the dastards turned their backs and fled. They tried to rally on the other side of the river, but were routed with a casualty of 40 killed and 30 wounded on their side, whilst only one Fingoe was wounded on the Colonial side. Among the slain was Mapassa's brother, and several of his head councillors. The Tambookies were about 1,000 strong. " The day after, Neils, another Tambookie chief, tried his strength with 300 of his warriors, against 25 of Mr. Read's people, but be was routed, leaving seven on the field, and with his successor severely wounded. Took five guns and 17 horses. Sir A. is said to have spoken in the highest terms of Mr. Read, in his dispatch to his Excellency. It is said that this severe lesson has brought Mapassa to his bearings, and that he sent to Sir A. when at Klip Mat, begging to be taken out of the bush. " Sir Andreas' main force is at Mr. Calderwood's sta tion (Birklands), which will shortly be joined by the following contingents.—Mr. Read's people, Kat River beopio ; farmers from Cradock ; and then will com mence the long-talked-of attack on the Amatola. Cap tain Sutton commands the Kat River force under Sir A. Sir A. is very much out of health. While at Shi loh he is said to have received a paper signed by Ma como, Tzatzoe, Sandilli, Sutu, &c., the purport of which was to sue for peace. They say that though at war with the colony they have the highest respect for him personally. That it was the annulling of his treaties that shook thlir confidence in the Government ; and that whilst they were yet trying to catch the murderers, war was informally declared against them. Sir A. re turned a severe message. Tzatzoe's daughter must have written a letter. Tzatzoe has not joined the hostile bands, but is evidently doing his best to bring about pease. He would have gone to Fort Peddie as in the last war, but is afraid of another Colonel Smith taking his quarters." _ In a postscript the writer says— " I should have said that on the evening of the same day, and immediately on Mr. Read's return from rout ing the enemy, and as they were at meals, a messenger came to say that Neila, Mapassa's uncle, was coming on the station in great force. He at once sent 30 bush men and 300 Fingoes to meet them in the plain. He kept the best of his force in defence of the place. The skirmish was kept up the whole night, and a complete victory obtained over the enemy at daybreak ; 17 were killed, 5 guns, 14 horses, 1,500 head of cattle captured." The next letter is a day and a march or two further in advance. It is dated from Tyumie River Camp, July 23: " By my last of the 16th," the writer says, " you are informed of our being in Kafirland. Since then we have moved further in. We are now not far from the Amatola. We have not been molested by the Kafirs since we have entered their country. We have made some patrols through the country, and seen both Kafirs and cattle, but, on account of orders, we did not molest them. We are told that we are not to act on the offensive; that we are not to fire first, but wait till they fire, and then we can return it, when we are on patrol; but we burn and destroy all their huts and kraals we fall in with, even to the very foot of the Amatola mountains." The writer then represents the burghers as most im patient of the long delay at head-quarters, and proceeds, —" But on the other hand, I must also inform you that our commander, Sir Andreas Stockenstrom, has done all that a man can do to satisfy us, and to have no delay. lie has been the last ten days on horseback. He has been to the Tambookies, and has settled them. He has brought all the burghers from that side, and he has placed all his divisions on their appointed stations, so that he has the three sides of the Amatola. The force he has thus collected is now 3,000 strong, all burghers, there being no troops under his command. He is now at our camp (Tyumie, July 23), where he came to-day. By his orders given out to-day it seems that he is not going to delay. By these orders we are to start to-morrow to the Tyumie Hoek, where we are to form a fortified camp, and next Tuesday we are to at tack the enemy in his stronghold; and Sir Andreas says he intends to take his dinner on the Amatola, if he is spared on that day. Our division, under Sir Andreas himself, will begin the attack from this side. The Coles berg and Cradock burghers, under Commandant Jou bert, from the other side; while Captain Sutton, with the Kat River burghers, will take the middle course, and we are to meet together on the top of the Amatola. That it will be the lot of some to fall before this object is obtained is nothing but certain. Who that will bo it is not for us to say; we must trust in the Lord, and that we are fighting in a good cause, where we must do our duty as men, and also that the prayers of all Christians are offered up for our success." On Thursday the Resistance, from Monte Video, ar rived in Simon's Bay, having on board 500 men of the 2d battalion of the 45th Regiment, Such of the men as are sick will, it is understood, be landed for hospital here, and the rest will proceed at once, without being disembarked, to Algoa Bay. The fighting work, it is hoped, will be over before they reach the frontier ; but they come in good time to garrison the country and re- , lieve the burghers, whose affairs urgently call them to their homes. • Much success has attended the attempts recently made to. land.supplies near the mouth of the Fish River, as well as at the Cowie mouth. The newly-arrived troops, by the way, will probably be sent on by sea to the former of these points of debarkation. In that case they may reach head-quarters in six or eight days. By Mgt a Bay they may not reach head-quarters in less than three weeks, and then wayworn and exhausted. (From the Graham's Town Journal) TUESDAY.—Received some further information from the troops in Kafirland, bringing the information from that point up to the 16th of July. The information i, not satisfactory. Colonel Somerset had crossed the Bid • falo at the Bridle-drift with his own regiment of mounted Rifles, and two troops of Dragoon Guards, but they were too late for the light-footed Kafirs. Previous to fording the stream, large droves o f catt l e h a d b een seen there, but precious time was lost in deliberation, and when a forward matement was made the enemy had got too much the start to be overtaken, and a most harass ing march, knocking up men and horses, was made for no purpoL,". About 300 head of cattle had, however, ben picked up, and which afforded a very seasonable supply of meat to the hungry troops : THURSDAY.—Report canal In to-ogy that 300 butcher, on their slough ter sheep, the property of Mr. Buy! o ; way to town from Daggeboers Neck, where they had been purchased of Mr. E. Driver, had been caPired by the Kafirs near Espag's-drift, on the Fishßiver. The %:. 11 "0 - vers state that shortly before reaching this drift, about 50 Kafirs; armed with guns, suddenly made their appearance, and at about 100 yards distance fired a volley upon them ; that finding themselves so greatly overmatched they fled, and that the marauders went off with the sheep in triumph. It is supposed that one or the drovers, a Hottentot, named Booy, was shot, as he has not since been either seen or heard of, and as the patrol which subsequently went out found his hat lying on the field. The men who had been charged with the care of this flock proceeded to the station of the Stellenbosch Burghers at Niemand's Kraal, whence a party of men, under Captain Neetbling, immediately started in pursuit. This party followed on the traces of the marauders across the Fish River at Botha's Drift, and thence along the Rand, until, from the exhausted condition of their linmosz, ,m4--ni• g irc coming on, they could proceed no further. Captain Neethling also reports that the traces of numerous Kafirs were seen by his party in that direction. Near Jontjes Kraal they came upon a bivouac of ono of their parties, where was found a half of a calf that had evi dently been slaughtered for food, 15 head of cattle, cows, and calves, and two miserable worn-down horses. These were sent into town, and have been placed for security in the public pound lnformation also came in that about 40 Kafirs had been seen by Mr. Fuller, jun., in the bushy country bordering on the Kowie, immediately behind the Graham's Town hills on the S.W. These marauders are supposed to have got possession of a number of cattle—a span of oxen belonging to the Rev. Mr. Calderwood, and some cattle of Mr. Fuller's being missing, and which are supposed to have fallen into their hands. As a set-off to these disasters, Ensign Salis, with his party of Cape corps, returned to-day from his pursuit of the con tractors' cattle, and reported that he had succeeded, after an arduous chase, in overtaking the marauders with their booty near English Drift, on the Konap, and had retaken sixty-five of the oxen. Two Kafirs are sup posed to have been shot in this affair, and two wounded. It appears that on Tuesday, finding that it would be vain to continue the pursuit during the darkness of the night, the patrol turned off to Fort Brown, resuming the duty the next morning. Accordingly in the afternoon of yesterday the robbers were descried in a kloof, where apparently they purposed remaining for the night. By considerable address Mr. Salis contrived to work down into this ravine so as to take the marauders by'surprise. The result was as stated. The Kafirs are not supposed to have been above eight or ten in number, and who, on discovering their pursuers, instantly endeavoured to escape into the recesses of the bush. This appears to have been one of the most creditable recaptures we have had yet to record. The perseverance of the party in following the marauders is well worthy of imitation, and is the only way by which we c..m expect to put a stop to this desultory warfare by which this immediate neighbourhood is now so greatly harassed. On emerg ing from the kloof with these cattle, the patrol fell iii with a party of Stellenbosch burghers also in pursuit, and who appear to have been most active in their endeavours to overtake and punish these plunderers. . . . Received this afternoon the wel come intelligence that the Albatross and Sophia were both in the Kowie River, and the Norfolk at the Pis. River. This looks like business, and throws a gleam of sunshine on the many other sombre scenes around. . . . Dispatches received this afternoon from his Ex cellency the Governor, and who was still en the Buffalo. The accounts received by this opportunity are confirma tory of those previously received, that the Kafir and colonial cattle had been driven far away to the eastward, and that if found they must be sought for in the broken country bordering the Bashee. No movement of im portance on the part of our troops is reported. : . . Information came in this afternoon that the 90th regi ment had got as far as Howison's Poort, but were utterly unable to reach town this day from the total inability of the draught oxen to proceed further. The troops have been on the road ever since the 11th inst., wending their weary way from Port Elizabeth. The distance is 100 miles between this point and Graham's Town, conse quently the rate of travelling has been about seven miles a day, the tardiness arising, not from any fault of the men, who had been eager to reach head-quarters, but from the wretched condition of the oxen attached to a convoy of sixty waggons, laden with Government sup plies, and which they were directed to escort to this place. FRlDAL—Received the following important intelli gence this morning from the immediate border to the N.E., dated 21st inst.:— Sir A. Stockenstrom has been to the N.E., where he has made preparations to resist the Tambookies, who are now ripe for the fight. To-day he has moved down from the Windvogel Berg into the Tyumie Hoek, near the Mission Station, and whiere Dodds Pringle and Du Tait join him with 800 men. From this neighbourhood Captain Hogg, with an equal number of Hottentots, will most likely co-operate on his right, near Block Drift. I expect that many hours will not elapse before he is en gaged with the enemy. It is in the fastnesses of the Amatoli that the confederated tribes are collected for resistance, and not near the coast, and here we must fight, if this warfare is ever to come to an end. I most sincerely wish Somerset was at the Buffalo Poorts—for these two officers are quite sufficient for the work." We are not in possession of the particulars of the occurrences which appear to have brought matters with the Tambookies to a crisis,- But some vague accounts are given of an engagement between a body of Tam bookies, estimated at 800 strong, under Mapassa, and what are usually termed Bushmen, under Mr. Joseph Read, in which the former were defeated, with the loss of 20 killed. This story wants confirmation; but if sub stantially correct, hostilities with these people appear to be inevitable—a fact that is important, as it will keep a force on the north-east frontier, which might at the present moment be employed elsewhere to greater advantage. SATURDAY.—Received information that on the 20th inst. Mr. S. de Beer, who is stationed at Botha's Post, while patrolling in the direction of the site of Post Vic toria, fell in with a party of about twelve Kafirs, with 26 oxen. Mr. de Beer's party consisted of fifteen men, who succeeded in capturing the whole of the oxen— three Kafirs being killed and four wounded in the affray. Messrs. Cawood's drovers reached town last night from Somerset, with 242 slaughter cattle and 500 sheep, with out meeting with the least interruption along the whole. line of route—a distance of 85 miles. This affords strong presumptive evidence that there are no strong bodies of Kafirs along that line of frontier ; for, had there been, it may be depended on that this rich booty would never have been permitted to reach their destination. Infor mation from the mouth of the Kowie, to the effect that it presents at this moment the lively appearance of a bustling seaport. Four vessels now lying there, namely, the Albatross and Sophia in the river, the Chanticleer and British Settler at anchor outside. The.work of debarkation going on rapidly and with perfect suc cess. The 2d division of the 90th Regiment marched from town this morning for the Fish River Mouth. Officers with this detachment—Captains Mann and Gale; Lieutenant Waller, Peddie, Grove, and Ogerman; Me dical Officer, Assistant-Surgeon M'Lise. Weather mild; thermometer at noon, 58 deg. Appearance of rain, and which is so much needed by the parched country. Re ceived the following information:—On Thursday, a few men from Farmerfield having been sent by Mr. Roberts to the Kowie, observed some Kafirs in the Kareiga, and thinking there might be more, they returned with . the intelligence to the village. A number of men went im mediately in pursuit, and discovered four Kafirs with four head of cattle, one of whom they wounded, who fled into the bush, leaving behind him a bundle of assegais and a kaross. The rest also fled, and the Farmerfield people got possession of the four head of cattle, and nearly the whole of the flesh of a beast which the marauders bad just slaughtered. One ox, being exceedingly wild, ran at one of the mon, who, in defending himself, broke his gun. This ox the party found necessary to shoot, but the flesh and skin they brought home, together with the remaining three head of cattle. The party consisted chiefly of Field Captain Gardener's company, who are doing good service in this neighbourhood. LANDING SUPPLIES. (From the South ..

The landing, as stated a fortnig ht ago, was in accurate in many particulars. W e have, also, information from Port Elizabeth of the 18th instant, to the effect that the brig William Woolley,. 250 tons, has been taken up to convey supplies to the mouth of the Buffalo, but which deitination has since been altered to the Fish River, it not being the intention of his Excellency, for the present, to form a post at the latter point, while to the Amatoli, to which point the troops are diverging, the distance is not greater from the Fish River than to the former, while, as a depot for military stores, it is on many accounts far raore preferable. The William Woolley has on board for the commissariat one hundred casks of salt meat, beef, and pork, partly the produee of the colony, and in part oil tained from the American vessel mow' in Algoa Bay. The remainder of the cargo will be made up of biscuit, meal, rice, coffee, sugar, and forage corn. We understand that 6 (d ~....--- Mr. Commissariat Clerk Skina, Maitt at Colcsberg, Colcsberg, has been most indefatigable in his exertio.ia to forward these supplies, and in which he has been mest ably assisted by Captain Lloyd, the highly-respected r_- sident magistrate at Port Elizabeth. The Waterloo, without entirely clearing out at tl-3 Fish River, was dispatched back to Algoa Bay, also ! a fill up for the Buffalo, where it was supposed the aroora would have been awaiting supplies; but this order; b, a also been countermanded, and she returns to her former berth at the Fish River. As regards the cap:L , bilities of this point for landing cargo, it seems 1,.) be a matter of general astonishment to all who hay a recently seen the spot that it has so long boon Overlooked and neglected. It may also be remark, d that it is, perhaps, fortunate for the Government in this its hour of need, and also for the futto e interest of the colony, that so smart a seaman, and so able and energetic a man as Captain Salmond s admitted to be, was selected to proceed there in the fir s t instance. The activity and skill with whieli this of& r has executed his duty have been mentioned" to us in terms of high commendation, and also of the activ;:y and intrepidity of the men under his command. The Norfolk also sailed on the 19th instant, from Pert D6z t , beth for the Fish River, and was to be followed hnaa.:- diately by the Lady Leith and the bfazeppa. - At the Kowie, also, a commencement has been rnarle. The Chanticleer, Albatross, Sophia, and British Settl r, had been off that port, but the weather had been t:.o boisterous to permit of much being done. The capabi lities of a new surf-boat had been tested, and though tl e surf ran high it is said that she floated upon i's cre4t like a cork, and landed her freight, 120 bags of biscuit, with perfect success. Unfortunately from the state of the weather preventing the vessels from entering ILe river and rendering the open roadstead insecure, these vessels were obliged to pu,t out to sea, thus occasioni; g the loss of some valuable time, and also much disap pointment. " PLUCKY EXPLOIT." (Private letter.) July 26, 1846. On Monday night, about six P.M , a party of 24 lad 4, belonging to the Field Cornetcy of Andries Pretorion3, in charge of cattle at Reid's Dale, about three miles from Eland's Post, having espied some cattle supposed to b.).- long to the settlement ascending the mountain, set off, and followed them near to Shiloh (a Moravian insti tution, in Tambookie Land), to cattle kraals, belonging to four of Macomo's Umpakatio (Hemraden), Guam zie, Matala, Groepa Pike, and Koba, iJotma's rainmaker. These fiery spirits immediately bearded these strolg , kraals, and carried off about 350 cattle, in the sighill thair ouinpri" - 1"71.67.-Ma ng law d n the settlement, and on coming to a good position in Reid's Dale in overwhelming numbers, made an attack on tie party, to rescue the property, but were repulsed with se veral killed and wounded. The Kafirs hovering about the encampment, and seeing a man and two of his sons drivin." cattle towards Eland's post, in the evening, by a ruse guerre, fell on them and wounded an old man, nazied Magamo, in the foot, and he, in his turn, shot the rain maker. (This order of men are the prime instigators of their countrymen in everything that is bad, leading theca on in deceit and violence). The affair was rather irre gular, and but for the good feeling of the excellent officer commanding, might have rendered the parties amenable to military discipline, on two or three counts,-Ist, for going without the officer's leave ; secondly, for sallying into the territory of a nominally friendly chief (Mt: passe) before the Government had commenced hostilities against him (although I believe, from the robberies I e has already committed on this settlement and other parts of the colony, and the harbouring of hostile Kafirs witlr their booty, his punishment is only held in abeyance ; as it was, although in a nominally friendly territory, they pitched into the right sort of enemy) ; and, thirdly , for not making a true statement of the number taken when asked."

We have some hesitation in prefixing the above head ing to the details of an event whic h probably might be more correctly described as a mar r iage anticipated. TiP those of our readers conversant with the movements o 1 the fashionable world, the engagement of the Lady Rose Somerset, fourth daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, to Captain Francis Lovell (of the Ist Life Guards), will have been long since familiar. The ex treme youth of ber Ladyship (who only completed her seventeenth year in February last) has, we believe, been the sole objection offered by her noble paaents to th e ratification of the desired union. Captain Lovell's posi tion as the representative of an old English family was such as to render him in every respect a worthy suitor for her Ladyship's hand, and the Gallant Officer, up to the latest moment, had been a constant and welcome visitor at the hospitable table of the Noble Duke. Per haps this circumstance, more than any other, will be calculated to excite a feeling of regret when the sequel becomes known. In order to set at rest any exaggerated rumours on the subject, we append a brief detail of the circumstances as they have reached us. Withodt vouch ing for its literal accuracy,t we believe the subjoined statement will be found substantially correct :—The Ladies Blanche and Rose Somerset, with their yeuthfut sisters, have been staying at Badminton some days, during the absence of their noble parents, who have been on a visit to Sir Charles Morgan, at the Hon. Baronet's seat, Tredegar, Monmouthshire. On Friday evening the family retired to rest at the usual hour. Nothing had occurred up to this time to excite the slightest suspicion of the intention of the Lady Rose to quit her home, but at seven o'clock on Saturday morn ing, when the attendants, as usual, went up stairs to call her Ladyship, she was not to be found. For some short time little anxiety was felt on the subject, but a closer inspection of her Ladyship's boudoir discovered a letter—the superscription in her own handwriting— addressed to her noble parents. This occasioned some uncomfortable suspicions, and an open window, looking from one of the drawing-rooms on to the lawn—of which none of the domestics could give any account—increased this feeling, and further inquiries placed the fact of her Ladyship's departure beyond a doubt. An express was instantly sent off to the Duke and Duchess, and so ad mirably was it arranged, that the intelligence reached their Graces in Monmouthshire in less than three hours from the time of leaving Badminton. The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort arrived at Badminton the same evening. The communication addressed by the Lady Rose to her noble parents frankly disclosed to whose protection she had resigned herself, and we hope we may add that the anxiety of the Noble Duke and Duchess was thus in some degree relieved. The destination the truant pair is believed to have been the Scottish border.—Post. THE LATE GALES. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) WEYMOUTH, OCT. 6.—The gale of yesterday con ,inued in force until about six o'clock, when it began to moderate. This was the period when it was expected the work of destruction would recommence, for the tido was just risen sufficiently high to make its effects dreaded. Some of the houses in the front had placed boards before their railings, to prevent the water iron 2 filling their areas ; and men were on the spot to render whatever service might be necessary in order to prevent the mischief from being further extended. The water pipes in the road had been covered with clay, and a. strong row of staves driven in round it. The sea poured in with prodigious fury, flinging its surf over on the road, where the water ran down like a mill- stream. The front of the Esplanade, from the Narrows to tho bottom of Gloucester-row, is completely torn up, extend ing a quarter of a mile, and covered with beach and shin gle, which extended half way over into the main road. Where the wall was thrown down, near the Crescent, so completely had the water washed away the 1.3.5 p . lanade, that it now appears on a level with the beach ano sands in front, and has the appearance of being cleared awaY for the areas of some large buildings. .The waves were to be seen curling and falling in the road, like we some times see the tide on the shore. The Greenhill presents a very changed appearance, not a vestige of road to be seen, but the bottom part com pletely washed out at some parts ; it has the appearance of a perpendicular cliff, as the waves came completely up to it and threw their entire force against it. The sea wall at Norton's ice-house is broken in three places : this was considered impregnable, having been built sloping towards the sea, and joined by a concrete ; the water, however, got under, and a subsidence of the road taking 'place, has raised in some places the surface in a dome-like shape ; this, with the irregular appearance which it has assumed in various places, gives it a very singular aspect. Had the wind continued with the same violence from that quarter, nothing could have prevented the Preston-road from being washed away, and the ice house would have been swept into the Lodmoor. The damage to property has been very considerable, and as there is a heavy debt already owing by the town council, a borough rate must be levied to meet the eircpenses. It is estimated that the damage done to the Esplanade wall alone will cost upwards of 1,0001. to repair. SLAVERY IN JAVA.—The people in Europe, what entertain so just a horror of slavery as to regard even slave grown produce as an abomination not to be tole rated from Brazil and Cuba, will be sorry to learn that the of = s o accepted and acceptable as the labour, are nevertheless tainted achievementso T with the same sort of slave leprosy. In the Jam Courant of May 6, there are no less than seven adver • tisements for the sale of slaves, of which five are by public auction, and - two by private contract, in number altogether forty-five men, women, boys, girls, and in fants. The Director of Means and Domains advertises ; moreover, " that the tax on slaves for the current year must be paid before the last of September ensuing, the same amounting to 2 florins 65 st. for each slave."

FATAL LEAP.—Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. Bedford, at the Plough, Carey-street, on the body of William Whitehead, aged 26. Deceased was in the employment, as warehouseman, of Mr. Wilton, book binder, Bream's-buildings, Chancery-lane. On Monday, the 28th ult., the deceased attempted to leap over a half door in the warehouse, when his foot catching, he was thrown on his head on the floor, receiving such jnjurir e as to cause his death on Friday last. Verdict—" Acci dental death." ANGLING EXTRAORDINARY.—One day last week, as Mr John Roberts, butcher, of this city, was angling, about two miles up the river Eden, with a single hand rod, fourteen feet long, and No. 5, fly-hooks, his bait was taken by a splendid salmon, which gave some ex cellent. play. After an hour's manoeuvring, this .first r. - rate angler succeeded iii landing his -beautiful prize, which, on being weighed, pulled 20i- pounds,-=Carlisle Patriot, SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS tills bAt. TIMES.- , -The Crown has triumphed gloriously. Sued by a gentleman in an honourable cause, it set might against right, and privilege against poverty. It evaded that discussion which would either have justified its inflexibility or exposed its unfairness ; and availed itself of those prescriptive advantages in litigation which antiquity and tradition have conferred on it to debar an unequal adversary from a lair hearing and a due deci sion. In many cases these privileges are viewed with out offence. Against rebels or traitors, against con spiracy or sedition, in aid of order and for the sake of peace, their utility is duly recognised. In a contest with an unprincipled demagogue who has avowed his inten tions, and boasted of his power to evade by subtleties and nullify by stratagems the clear and undoubted spirit of the law, we willingly invest the Crown officers with all the arms which may fairly serve to defeat the perilous attempt. But no such considerations entered into that great and famous Cause which has just been terminated, as far as the plaintiff was cor.cerned, by the hand which brings an end to all things. The Baron de Bode neither attacked the prerogatives of the Crown, nor the pri- vileges of Parliament ; he was pleading neither for license nor lawlessness. No seditious or turbulent pas sions could have been encouraged by his success, or were subdued by his disappointment. He only asked for money which he asserted was justly due to him. The honour and equity of the State was involved in the transaction. It was, of course, the bounden duty of the law officers to protect the Exchequer, and to see that a sum which might sustain a starving kingdom through a season of famine was hot carelessly paid to an adroit pretender. But these precautions might have been taken immediately and infallibly. Dukedoms and domains are every week claimed by some demented wretches, but nothing is found more easy than to ascertain the character of the applicant. If the Baron de Bode's claim had been an imposition, it could have been un masked in a month, and he would have fallen into that contempt which is always more readily accorded to a penniless pretender th lesa,,uncharitable'considera,- tions. But it Was notorious that he was what he rep re sented himself to be, and that his claim was imperative both in equity and honour. There never was a case calling so stronly for the prompt and open attention of the State. A large sum had been paid by the French Government to the English in trust for a cer tain class of sufferers, of which the Baron claimed to be one. His demand was so great as to be a matter of consideration even to a kingdom— an additional reason for candour and circumspec tion under the suspicions to which we might be exposed. It was the obvious duty of the Government to investigate with the utmost promptitude and accuracy the claims advanced, and to publish to the nation with the greatest clearness that flaw in the applicant's title which disabled the necessary rigour of official justice from acceding to his petition. Their conduct and our character would thus have been clear; and it would have remained for the nation, at its will, to decide on the pro priety of recompensing an individual who had been ex cluded by accident from a position to which ho was justly entitled by his deeds. Instead of this, the claims of a helpless remonstrant were evaded by all the legal subtle ties which tend to the disrepute of courts and the dis grace of the profession; his pleas were met by an endless cycle of procrastinations and perplexities, and the Eng lish nation assumed the character of a dishonest debtor relying for escape on the cunning of a pettifogging ad vocate. The issue has been fatal to our victim and dis• graceful to ourselves. It is most certain that the unfor tunate Baron was within the spirit if he was without the letter of the law. If it was nothing that his "prima infantia emlum " Hausit Aventinum, Nice& nutrita Sabina"-- his English birthplace gave him no English rights, his services and sufferings in England's cause at least conferred some considerations. But the evasions and tricks of his mighty adversaries, coupled with the im port of such decisions as he found it possible to obtain, cannot but impress the minds of Englishmen, always in clined to the weaker and overborne party, with the belief that we have stooped, for the sake of .a heap of money, to cheat a deserving gentleman out of his rightful due. " The King's power," says a royal writer, " loveth judgment;" but the Baron de Bode might have quoted a plainer text of those who persecuted him with out a cause. For thirty years he opposed a resolute spirit and an intrepid heart to the wearing and wearying machinations of his powerful foe, but vexation and op pression have done their work at last, and he has sunk into his grave unheard and unlighted, though cheered with the voice of unwonted friendship and the gleam of unexpected hope. His claims, of course, descend to his heirs, who, " thrice armed " in the justice of their quar rel, must eventually prove victorious over their gigantic foe ; unless, indeed, that foe, with a tardy repentance, voluntarily relinquishes to the children the spoil which it has so long withheld from the father. CHRONICLE.—The Alpha and Omega of the schemes for the relief of Ireland—the quintessence of all the pro positions we hear, is, give, give, give. The points on which there is diversity are only, who is to give, and whom it is to be given to. While some people are for giving themselves, some are only for making other s g i ve , and some would have no objection to make the crisis an opportunity for receiving. The cry of some persons is, let England give ; and give to the peasantry, to those who are really in want. There is charity in this pro posal, if not wisdom, when it comes from this aide of the Irish Channel ; when from the other side, it is some thing else ; it is the conduct of him who begs for charity, which, if rarely meritorious or dignified, is excusable when there is nothing else to be done. But the Irish landlords next present themselves, and exclaim, give to us. Lend to us below the market rate of interest, that we may pay off our mortgages ; we shall then have a large income for our own use, with part of which we will employ the poor. Or, lend us a round sum on the mortgage of our estates, which are already so deeply mortgaged that we cannot raise an additional farthing fron any other source ; and instead of paying off our mortgages we will do better—we will employ the loan in cultivating our lands and improving our estates for ourselves. This charming scheme for giving to the poor by means of giving to the landlords, does not seem to have made many converts among those to whom the part assigned in it is that of 'givers. It has rather provoked them to give the thing a contrary turn and to demand whether, instead of receiving, the Irish landlords are not the very persons who should be required to give. And justly too. If the working bees are short of winter provision, they have a claim on their own drones before they can have any on the bees of another hive. But the ob jection common to all these schemes is, that they consist of giving, and nothing more. That objec tion is fatal. Did ever any one hear, was ever any one so completely out of his senses as to imagine, that the whole social and economical state of a country could be made to rest upon giving? Giving, when the whole labouring population are the parties concerned, is a thing to be dune once, and then largely and generously, to the full measure of the need. But it is not a thing to be done at all, save when the object to be compassed, or at least greatly promoted, is that of so altering the condition of the receivers, that they shall not need to look to giving as a permanent re source. If this could be accomplished for Ire land—and that it could we are fully prepared to show—we will not venture to say what sum of money we would not willingly give, and call on others to give, for so noble a purpose. Or if the habitual condition of the Irish people were satisfactory, and the present dis tress a sharp but passing calamity, as little connected with the general course of events as the cholera—a tor rent which they only required to be helped through, to be landed again in prosperity on the other side—then, too, we could join our voices with those who say, give freely, and ask no questions about the future. But as things are, we protest with all our force against giving one additional farthing on plans which • hold out no better promise than that, after a larger or smaller sum of money is spent and gone, the Irish will be exactly as they were before. Give as much as you will, but let it be for the permanent improvement of the condition of the people. We will not hear of any giving merely to feed the disease, not to cure it. POST.—It was on the question of undeniable in tegrity—of undeniable fitness to do the honours, and represent, in its best light, the character of the citizens of London—on a question affecting Alderman Wood's qualifications in this regard, the contest has arisen upon his claim to the civic sovereignty. The Alderman's qua lification was questioned and disputed, on grounds that gave reasons to pause, lest the place and reward o f worth should be ;even to unworthiness. The Livery men of the city of London have been called on, during the last week, to recor d th e i r op i n i on o f the merits on both sides of the case. Alderman Wood is accused by the Deputy-Ch a i rman o f t h e I r i sh Soc i ety with having failed, in his capacity of solicitor to the society, to pay counsel certain moneys which he had drawn from it for that express and stated purpose. The Livery have re corded, with th e t ar di ness o f l azy strength, their opinion as to the side on which the truth of the question lies, and with an indolence too usual where no object of private profit is to be attained, have at last signified their idea that a man to whose pecuniary dealings grave charges and sus picions attach, is not fit to lead City affairs fora year. Thus far with respect to the fact accomplished. But will the honour of the city of London permit, that th;s scandal of solemn assertion and counter-assertion, having gone thus far, is to remain in its present unsatisfactory and dis graceful position? If there is a word of " the whole truth" in the committee's address, their rejected friend is about as ill-used an alderman as London has produced since the invasion of Jack Cade. If Mr. Anderton's declaration of the case be a correct one, we cannot trust ourselves with the expression that would duly brand the conduct of those on behalf of whom Mr. Yates subscribed his name. Th ere h as, somewhere, been conduct of no ordinary turpitude. O n w hi ch quarter does it rest? Pub lic morality and p r i vate character require that the truth should be elicited, an d that, if possible, signal punish ment beinflicted on those who have grossly outraged it. The gentleman. who holds the pleasant station of Lord Mayor elect, La, we have every reason to think, an individual who will fulfil the necessary conditions of liberality, undoubted integrity, and the wealth to give grace and comfort to extended h osp i tal i ty. It is on all accounts gratifying, that a character beyond suspicion should preside over business in the City. But this does not solve the problem which we think absolutely neces sary tQ be made plain. There still remains the fact that CLOSE OF TUE POLL Sir George Carroll ..

Extract from the Proceedings of the institution of Civil Engineers Tuesday, 26th May, MI6, Sir Jour' RENNIE'', President, in th e Chair. , " A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. The air passing tip through the hollow stem of the button, was heated, and passed out by two series of fire-hel es around the periphery, and impinging with force on the tarn. if the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustiol, The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a better ght, with a saving of rather more than one-third."
