On Monday evening, when Mr. Greenwood was about ' to leave the Clerkenwell Police-court, Sergeant Allen, 21 N division, informed the magistrate that he had made inquiries of Mr. Haines, surgeon, of the Liverpool-road, Islingten.• and was informed by that gentleman that Mrs. Haines, of Paradise-terrace, who had been so bar barously treated by George Wilmot, in his attempt to murder and rob her, was in so dangerous a state, that he suggested the necessity of the magistrate's immediate at tendance at her residence, to take ber deposition. De lirium might take place within twelve hours of that time, and death might ensue. Mr. Greenwood, at six o'clock in the evening, arrived at the cottage of Mrs. Haines, who was found lying in bed, in a most deplorable condition. The cottage is situated in a most solitary place, a long, dark, and dismal alley leading from the Liverpool-road to Pocock's fields, adjacent to the spot where the late Mr. Temple man was murdered, and at the northern extremity of the road. Mr. Greenwood, Mr. Haines, the surgeon, the various officers, and our reporter were admitted into the apart ment where Mrs. Haines was lying, and every arrange meat having been made, the prisoner was brought in, in the custody of Mr. Duke, and placed at the foot of the bedstead, where he had a clear view of Mrs. Haines, who viewed Mai with evident terror, whilst he seemed to shun her and turn aside. Mr. Greenwood administered the usual oath to her, when he inquired whether she knew the name of the prisoner? Mrs. Haines (faintly)—l believe his name is Wilmot. In answer to further questions, she replied as followc: —He formerly kept this house. On Saturday evening last, between five and six o'clock, I was alone in the par lour getting my husband's supper ready, when I heard a tap at the window. The door was fastened. It was very dark. I went to the window, and inquired, " Who is. there?" The prisoner replied, -" It is me." I said, " Halloo. master, is it you; is anybody with you?" He said, "No, I am alone." I opened the door. He en tered and placed his back against it. He said, I want a bit of paint if your husband has got a bit to give me. I said he has got none, and asked him to sit down. He said ho had been over to Newington to pay the interest of some things which were in pledge. I told him if he had mentioned that to us before we would have given him some money. lashed him to have some tobacco. He took some. There was an iron candlestick on the table with a lighted candle. He smoked about five minutes. He said, you will be too late with your husband's supper. I got up to put the meat in the saucepan. I turned round and was going towards the fireplace when I heard the prisoner's footsteps behind me. I turned round and he looked very pale. I felt very much frightened when suddenly the light disappeared, and I felt a tremendous brow on my head. I screamed" Murder," and he struck me with some instrument on the head, which cut me six or seven times. He struck me repeatedly on the head. I must have received upwards of a dozen blows. I had my bonnet on at the time. He got me into the corner of the room, and beat me on the head; he caught me by the throat, and I thought he would have killed me. The prisoner, who seemed quite perturbed and agitated, here turned pale, walked about, exclaiming, " Oh, dear! oh, dear;" at length he seated himself on a trunk in the room, and hid his face in his hat, stooping down. Witness—l struggled with him, and got his head under my arm, and I had strength enough left to drag him to the door, and opened it. I cried "Murder" as well as I could, when he ran off, leaving me insensible. Mr. Greenwood—Did he ever talk to you of money, as if he wished to fish out of you whether you carried money about you ? Witness—On Friday night he called and he asked how we thought we should pass our Christ mas. I told him my husband bad resolved on going into the country, to see his father and mother, and it would cost him 51. About a month ago my cousin was robbed. He said he was surprised we had not been robbed. I told him there was no fear of that, as I always carried my money in my pockets. I occasionally lent the pri soner money, a sovereign at a time, because we thought he had met with misfortunes. Mr. Greenwood—Did he say anything while he was beating you ? Witness—He never said a word from the first to the last. My shoulders, my stays, and all my clothes were soaked with blood. My nose bled very much. Mr. Greenwecel inquired if the prisoner wished to ask the wttrress -- nny questions ? Prisoner (tremulously)— Ask her if she said anything to me about any man that used to call here. Witness—l never did say anything about the man. Prisoner—Ask her if she never said she would give information to the parish officers that I had deserted my wife, and cause my arrest. Witness—l never did anything of the kind. Prisoner—Ask her if she did not seize me by the throe. Mr. Mould (to Mrs. Haines)—l suppose von consi dered it a death-struggle to save your life? Mrs. Haines —I did so. She added, the first blow he struck her was on the front of the head. She here became very weak, and her examination was closed. The prisoner was then conveyed to the House of Cor rection, under the commitment of the magistrate. It was yesterday reported that Mrs, Haines was still in a very dangerous state. The prisoner is said to have been 'ormerly a lieutenant in the navy ; he is about five feet bur inches high, thin, pale, and 55 years, of age. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Elizabeth Wood, the wife of Benjamin Wood, a City policeman, was brought before the Lord Mayor for final examination, upon the charge of having wounded her husband, with intent to kill and murder him. Benjamin Wood, who had been in St. Thomas's Hos pital in consequence of a wound inflicted upon him up wards of a month ago, stated that on the 14th of Octo ber he was living with his wife in Talbot-streat, Grace church-street; that at a quarter past one o'clock he had his uniform on, and was ready to go on duty, and he complained to his wife about his dinner not being ready. They had a few words about it, and he put on his hat to go out, and as he was going towards the door, she threw a knife at him, which struck him in the throat, but he did not think she threw it at him intentionally to wound him. He then felt the blood running down, and it was streaming about the floor • and he ran down s tairs to Dr. Smith's, and was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, where he had been ever since. He did not recollect that• he had made use of any threat towards her. He thought she had sat down to her dinner, and he thought she bad the knife in her hand at the time. He did not think she had pieked it up purposely to throw at him. Lord, he took up his truncheon to the rest he has said is the truth. t him. I never meant to hur m p e ri w so i n th er i — t. My The witness said, ill . answer to a question from the llect whether or not he strike The Lord Mayor, that he did not reco hand at the tame, unless he was had his truncheon in his All in the act of putt in g it in his pocket.t-sur eon at St. Thomas's Mr. F.

Witnes s effected that operation by making a distinct wound do wn the neck, and the bleeding instantly ceased. Since that time the wound had progressed favourably, but until the wound had in a great measure closed, the patient was in danger. John Davis, a City policeman, stated that after Wood had been taken to the hospital, he saw the prisoner, who stated to him, that while they were at dinner, they had a quarrel ; that he threatened to knock her down, and that she threw a knife at him which she had in her hand • that as he was stooping down to pick it up , she saw the blood running from his neck, and she halloed out " Murder." The LORD MAYOR told the prisoner she might say what she pleased in her defence. The prisoner said—My Lord, I never intended to do him any harm. The reason why dinner was not quite ready, which made him angry, was that I had taken my work home to Fish-street-hill, and I had to wait till the lady gave me more. I then went home, and it wanted a quarter to one. Wood had all his clothes on, and I laid the cloth before I went out, and he was angry with me for being so long, and began to swear at me.- He stood, by the table with his truncheon on the table. I sat down and cut his and my own dinner, and took the knife in my hand to begin my dinner, and he swore that he would knock my head with the truncheon, making use of an oath. He bad his hand up with the truncheon; and I said, if you attempt to strike me, I'll throw this knife at you. I thought he intended striking me, and I thought I saw the truncheon coming down with his hand. I had no intention of striking him with the knife, nor did I know I had &me so until I saw him stoop ; I saw the blood, and I was frightened, and I hallood out 'c Murder." He told me not to hallo, and he put his hand up as well as one of mine, and a man and woman came up, and took the truncheon from his hand as he stood bleeding. I never intended to do it, I'm sure. The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, you have got yourself by your passionate temper into very serious trouble. It i s ray duty to commit you for trial. You can represent those things which you have stated to me upon your trial, but you stand committed for having made the as sault with the intent to commit murder. . • The prisoner again solemnly declared that she never had a thought of injuring her husband, and handed in several letters, which she said she had received from her husband since the melancholy occurrence. . She was then committed for trial. CENTRAL CRIMINAL 'COURT.

SIR, —Investigation on this all-important subject, so materially affecting the community, serves only to prove the urgent necessity for a comprehenqive Legislative measurer-which, liint—irerpfirtr furl frerrerAiit4iieestge• Grey, is at this moment occupying the serious attention of the Government. Having lately inspected the prisons of France and Bel gium, I find the system of employment in prison not only defrays the expenses of the gaol, but a portion is reserved for the prisoner on his leaving, which, With further rewards offered by the State, has reduced the number of those who return to crime from 60 to 10 per cent. I "find the moral feeling there is not so strong against the prisoner as in England, which proves the great necessity here for shelter and employment, which will be the means of reinstating them again in honest courses, instead of continuing tenants of prisons for our life. n visiting Scotland, last week, I was glad to hear from the Lord Provost of Edinburgh that he had com municated with Government on the subject, and such was the effect of repeated prosecutions of the same indi vidual that they are now building another gaol in that city. On inspecting the prison there, I found it full, containing 400, and seeing 200 female prisoners, I asked the Governor and Matron how many of the number had been there before? The reply was, " ALL of , them had been there before, and MANY OF TEEM REPEATEDLY." Nothing could prove a stronger case than this, which demands an effectual rem ed y . It t is findt n whanttalnd the public as well as the Legislature, to the crying evil; and whilst there is an ac re of uncultivated land—whilst gtti fn gratifying t n have so many public works are going on—whilst our colonies and territory are extending—whilst there is so great a demand for LABOUR —we ought not to permit our prison population to continue tenants for life, but instead of al lowing so demoralizing and so expensive a system to exist, give them the means of redeeming their charac ter by shelter and voluntary employment, which many ' will gladly avail themselves of ; and thus will we re duce the number of our prisons and prisoners, and re store many to usefulness, instead of permitting them to remain curses to society. I am, yours, obliged, JOHN LAURIE. 1, Hyde Park -place. N0v.14, 1846. HAMBURGIT MAIL, BERLIN, Nov. B.—lt is now positively asserted that the taxes due from July to September, which are usually required to be paid in the month of December, need not be paid on this occasion till March next year. Consi dering the present scarcity of money, this delay is cer tainly entitled to gratitude. We 'are able to state on good authority that the punishment of the bastinado is entirely excluded from the new draught of the penal code. It may be recol lected what opposition this punishment met with in most of the Provincial Assemblies when the draught was first laid before them, and that only two of these assem blies were in' favour of retaining it. This news will, therefore, undoubtedly give great satisfaction. CENTRAL GERMANY IN NOVEMBER.—WhiIe the atten tion of the German people, and of the German press, was turned exclusively to the affair of Sleswig Holstein, an event which seems worthy of serious consideration has passed almost unnoticed. We mean the resolution of the First Chamber in Baden in favour of the press. If the Second Chambers in Germany have hitherto peti tioned for the freedom of the press, this can create no surprise ; but it is a very novel and s ignificant occur ence that a First Chamber, consisting of the most aristocratic and conservative elements of the country, declares its opinion that the censorship is forbidden by the Act of the Confederation, and that, on the contrary. the liberty of the press is to be considered as an original right of the German nation. We content our selves at present with this notice, and would willingly hope that the time is not far off which will lead to the fulfilment of the promises held out in the 18th article of the Act of the Confederation. ZELLE, Nov. 9.—lt is said that the Princess Theresa of Altenburg is betrothed to his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia. POLISH FRONTIERS, Nov. 3.—The report that the Republic of Cracow is to become entirely Austrian again is repeated, and more positively than before. Nothing transpired respecting the manner in which this incorpo ration with Austria will take place, without violating existing conventions. It is thought that the plan would have long since been carried into effect had not the declaration in the French Chambers and the English Parliament interfered. That the idea is not wholly given up is Proved by the silence of the Aus trian official press. M. Weste n h o ly, the banker, is sa id to have undertaken several finan cia l operations, wit h a view to the execution of this plan. • ST. PETERSBURGH, Nov. 3.—Th e n ew penal code fo r • , all Russia, orders corporal punishments of capital crimi nals to be executed publicly, as a warning to the people, and with all possible solemnity. It is well known that by this order, and in consequence of an Imperial Ukase, the punishment of the knout is for ever abolished in Russia. Instead of it is substituted, for the most heinous offences, the Platte, branding, and banish ment, with hard labour to Siberia, FROM THE ELBE, Nov. 6.—lt has already been an nounced, as a report, in several newspapers,. that the English Convention of 1841, with the Zollverein, was to be terminated; we can now, on good authority announce this report as a fact, and can add that the most essential merit is to be attributed to that South German Govern ment, which has hithert o t a k en suc h a n active part in all the national interests of G erman y, an d especially of the Zollverein. MUNSTER, Nov.

A depreciation of this kind has only one solution—abundance. And we are confident that although the corn harvests of the United States might be insufficient to repair the cala mity of a general European dearth, yet that, with the present amount of our home-grown produce, England can derive more than she absolutely wants, or is likely j to want this year, from the western states of North America. That this consummation is very far opposed to that which we once anticipated, we readily admit. But if we plead guilty to the charge of having conceived unreasonable fears or uttered false predictions, we may likewise claim the merit of having in some degree brought about the falsification of our apprehensions. For we believe that it is in part owing to the representations which we ourselves put forth, in accordance with fears unfounded, indeed, but at the time very general, that we may attribute the extra ordinary efforts recently made to transmit grain from the interior of North America to the coast. And to these representations also is in some measure owing the stimulus recently given to the shipping employed in the Earopean corn trade. Consequences like these more than atone for the precedent error, and, to our minds, outweigh a thousand sneers about in consistency and vacillation. Two facts should be con tinually borne in mind. The most curious phenomenon of the present deficiency is, that it is a deficiency of the coarser grains. Wheat is comparatively plentiful in England, and more than usually good. It is of the com mnner and coarser kinds of food that the yield has either been unhealthy or insufficient. The same analogy holde with respect to France. This is the first fact. The second is, that Ireland, rather than England, is affected by the dearth. This is only a consequence of the pre ceding proposition. - The poor crops that have failed are the Irish food. Had there been no Ireland at all, we sheuld never have heard of famine in England. The price of wheat might haie risen in consequence of exportations to Other parts of Europe. But it has risen through the natural reaction of conti gueus misery upon comparative competence. One part of a nation cannot suffer severely without affect ing the other partially. One kind of sustenance cannot become dear or scarce without raising, though not to the same extent, the price of anot her. And this de4rness will continue, and finally be aggravated, until a substitute be found for that species of food which is tem po*trily lost. England apprehended the f a mine which Ireland suffered. Wheat grew dear because potatoes bad become so. The Indian corn, which is the only available substitute for the potato, was at first so par tially and scantily supplied as to have become in Ireland dearer than wheat itself. Hence the reaction on our markets in this country. But the worst features of the crisis have changed for the better. The influx of Indian corn has of late been very considerable. A great re duction in its price may, therefore, be calculated on; and thit can be effected without loss to the importer, as the price may fall very much below its recent height, and yep leave a profit to the seller. Nor shall we fail to per ceive the effects of this change in England. As long as the price of Indian corn was so high and seemed likely to continue so high in Ireland, were was an i appearance of harshness in keeping up the duty on foreign wheat It was only an appear ance. The abolition of the duty would not have In- ght food to the mouths of a dozen Irish families: c Sti l it looked hard; and persons of soft hearts and not ver c logical heads were very indignant at the notion of paying a duty of 4s. on wheat in England, while their fellw-subjects were starving on untaxed meal in Ireland. But now there is, we hope, an end even to the pretext for 'euch indignation. The Irishman is likely to obtain his substitute for potatoes cheaper than heretofore, even if he do not save a remnant from the supposed failure of his ;usual crop : And we ho - pe that he is also beginning to darn the price of his daily food. lie has been too lorei i n d u lging the delusive theory that, in perio d s o f scarcity, a Government is bound to complicate its other embarrassments by giving . a multitude of people wages fur doing nothing. This is a most fatal errore--more fated to the donees than the donors of such gratuitous stipend. But the recent measures of the Lord-Lieu tenent, and the more general disposition of the peasantry to dugage in task-work, give earnest of a most desirable impirovement both in their habits and their condition. An we see no reason why—if Indian corn does not agaen become too dear, and the present rate of wages continues—this year of dearth should not be an era of nevi prosperity to every man in Ireland. OIHRONICLE.— Our contemporary, the Morning Pos , edified its readers yesterday with a very minute des ription of the dissensions by which, according to its rep esentation, the present Ministry is distracted. Our con emporary's remarks evince a degree of good nature to rds a portion of the Cabinet , and indeed a kind of pl ap obation of it as a whole, which may obtain a certain a am unt of attention for its disclosures. The Post cora me cea its exposition of the most minute and secret det4ils of Cabinet discussion by expr essin g its i g norance of '4 how such circumstances transpire ;" and certainly it i 4 not very easy to conceive how such circumstances should transpire, seeing that the information, if correct, mutt proceed from parties sworn not to disclose it. Th 4 Post, however, declares it to be certain that " in quarters not likely to be misinformed, and among per sont not likely to be the dupes of mere conjecture, a con ction exists that the present Ministry is split into oppbsing sections, and that there is scarcely any, one subject upon which a cordial unanimity of sentiment exists." We can likewise declare, with at least as much assurance as our contemporary, " that in quar ters' not likely to be misinformed, and among persons not likely to be the dupes of mere conjecture, a convic tioal exists"—that there is no truth, or semblance of truth, in the statement which he has so positively and circumstantially put forth. The Post, or its informant, in the exercise of a lively imagination, has conjured up visions of sharp and incessant contentions between the tw&Noble Lords who fill respectively the offices of Fo reign and Colonial Secretary. Such visions, we believe, have not the slightest foundation of fact -to support them. Welhave no fear of being considered the " dupes of mere conjecture" in concluding that when. public men of character have so far put an end to iformer disagree ments as to sit in Cabinet together, they must have banished from their 'minds all such wretched feelings of rivalry as those which the Post describes as in active existence. We have no hesitation ip stating it to be our entire conviction that such rivalries and dissensions as the Morning Post describes do not exist, and have not existed amongst Ministers since the formation of the present Government. The Post, however, has this ex cuse for its mistake, that the Peel Cabinet , o f which it was nee a cordial supporter, was divided a nd ultimatel y I D dest oyed by internal dissensions. After the lamentable expdrienee of that Administration, we , cannot wonder that the spectre of a disunited Government should now haunt the imagination of our contemporary. As far as our knowledge goes, however, we can offer him the con solation of which be is evidently desire); is. Let him, by all means, banish his apprehensions. fear there is not the slightest reason for believing that there is, or has been, anything in the discussions of the Cabinet in the least degree inconsistent with its being, as on r contemporary I wishPs to see it, " firm , u nited, and vi g o roust' h , SUICIDE AT TIIE CHAIN PIER, TIRIGHTON.-011 Monday evening, at dusk, a neatly-dressed woman was seen walking about the promenade at the. pier -head, in a manner to excite some notice ; but as ,her demeanour afterwards became somewhat calm, that notice was not long continued. Half an hour later she -was discovered by a son of Mr. C. Cooper, clerk, to the Tier Company, 4utsido the rails,. her bhck towards the to , wn, and holding by the rail! !nth her hands, which were placed behind her. Imagimng from her position that sib e was preparing to drown herself, Mr. Cooper crept stealt; hily to the spot, and was in the act of seising her clothes, w hen she sprang into the water. The alarm bell was immediately rung, the lifeboat was lowered, and search we a made for the body with drags for several hours, but vi ithout success. In the morning it was found on the b each, near the Albion Hotel, and conveyed to the To , ” When first seen, the deceased had a small bash et, which, with her bonnet and a handkerchief; she plae ad on a seat on the pier before leaping into the water.

IBy . the ship Mary Anne, which has arrived at Ports mouth, we have received ,Capesof Good ,flOpe papers -to tae sth September. The fpligwipg extracts from tho Grahaiii's 'town Jourii,'ll of Sept. 5, give the latest intei: I:gence of' the seat of war in Kafiriand .FRONTIER •AFFAIRS.L-EVENTS OF THE WEEK. MoNDAY.—Received information to-day that Captain .Hogg, at the head of a force of about 1,000 infantry, chiefly Hottentots and. Fingoes, and acting in conjunc tion withteßurgher force under the Field-Commandant Van Wyk, and a detachment of the 45th Regiment, 'Under command of Captain Seagram from the Tarka :I?osi,'hid - Made a successful inroad into-the Tambookie cauntryseapturing upwards of 4,000 head of cattle, and killing some forty or fifty of the enemy. The loss on our side is thirteen Fingoes killed, and a few wounded. The official dispatches; giving a detail of these opera- Liens, were immediately published in the shape of an -Extra to our last number, together with the following observations: — It is with peculiar satisfaction we give publicity to the ofliciai dispatches above, detailing a successful movement by . : Captain Hogg,,7th Dragoon Guards, with his native force, on the Tambookie country. In ordinary times 'the capture of 4,000, head of cattle would not be to the colony a matter 'Of very, high importance ; but at the laresent juncture, when, the army is actually crippled for beasts of burthen, and when provisions are becoming ' daily so scarce, and withal so indifferent, this capture is of considerable moracent, and may be hailed, notwith standing our lost of life, as among the most fortunate events we have had yet to record. Captain Hogg ap pears to have conducted this enterprise with good Judg ment and gallantry, and to have been ably supported by chose - co-operating with him. If there be any exception to this it. is in reference to the Fingoes, and these it ieenas to hive been impossible to keep withiti . the tram ' meli of diSCipkue. They., appear .to have suffered severely for their imprudence, and it may be hoped have been taught a lesson whia may here after be of great use to them. Many, as well in other corps as among the Fingoes are apt to think very lightly of discipline—and, where there is not any deter mined resistance made, its importance may not bo very manifest—but let any of our divisions sustain a reverse, let difficulties arise, and danger become imminent—and then will be seen and felt the advantage of having a body of men who have been trained to obey orders, wbo can bo depended on to act in concert, and who, like a piece of well-regulated machinery, move with that regu larity and precision. which ensures the most perfect at tainment of a desired end. It will be gratifying also for the public to know that the chief Stock has been ordered to Fort Peddie, where he is to remain as a prisoner of war, and to subsist at hls own expense. This is worthy of note, and is of public importance, as being an indication of firmness at head' quarters. No mistaken humanity in dealin_g with m these people can be for a moent tolerated. We say mistaken humanity, inasmuch as every act of unmerited leniency on our part will be misinterpreted, and will be sure to result in further mischief. It is the height of folly to lay the flattering unction to' our soul that the Kafirs have any . innate love for the white man. Our intimacy with them has unfortunately neither won their esteem nor their respect. There may be exceptions to this , but if so they are few and far between, and hence we must deal with them, not as we would fain find them, but as they actually are—as utterly faithless in their profes sions, and as audaciously dishonest in their practices. They must be dealt with in such a way as that they may ftel the consequences of their own misdoings, and be uninistakingly assured that " honesty is the best policy.' It would be an act of folly were the British public to pay ultimately one sixpence of the expenses of the pre sent war, unless in failure of means on the part of the aggressors. Every war which may be provoked, as this has been, from mere lust of plunder and rapine, should be defrayed by those who are the cause of it. This would not be a difficult matter, it would be in accordance with justice and international law, and in the long run would prove to be by far the most humane policy that could be adopted in our dealings with the native tribes of this country. By making, for instance, the forfeiture of land the penalty of aggression, and acting firmly upon that prin. ciple, you at once enlist the native clans or tribes on the side of peace, at least as regards the colony. The main tenance of their own authority, and the preservation of their territorial possessions, would serve as the strongest inducements that could be presented to the mind of a na tive, to guard him constantly and vigilantly against every thing that would lead to his being deprived of either. In the case of the frontier Kafirs, the loss of their territory, which must now be considered as absolutely forfeited, will have an astounding moral effect throughout the %%hole of South Africa, and will do more for the preser vation of peace, and towards the civilisation of the bar barous tribes within the circle of British influence than any other means, however plausible, that could possibly be adopted. This great and good work is now about to be commenced—it is the beginning of a new era, and ono that is fraught with asamsetana consequences, not merely to this country, but to the whole civilised world. From Waterloo Bay we have information up to yes terday (Monday) morning. Her Majesty's ship Apollo, with the- 73d Regiment, arrived there about noon on Saturday. and though blowing a gale at the time, came to her anchorage in gallant and beautiful styl-. Captain Saltnond, who has the honour of being the first who landed there, and whose vessel has given a name to the place, immediately went off to her, accompanied by Mr. W. Stanton, a visitor from Fort Beaufort, and who was put on board the Waterloo, then lying at anchor in the bay. Captain Salmond however proceeded to the Apollo, where, as the gale continued to freshen, he re mained all night: On Sunday, though the weather had moderated,. yet from the heavy swell of the sea it was not thought advisable to commence the landing. As, however, the weather was particularly fine yester day, there can be little doubt but the men are now ashore and in camp at that important point. In striking contrast to this it may be stated, that the men of the 45th, who were lakled at Algoa Bay on the 13th inst., are still toiling hither over the rugged roads which mark the intervening country. In the mean time the enemy has presented himself almost daily at Water loo Bay, threatened the supplies, swept off the Govern-, ment draft cattle, dared the handful of men there to come on, fired into the camp at night, and ercssing the river, swept off, amongst more petty depredations, 100 head of cattle belonging to ono individual. We know not who is responsible for the landing of these troops so far from where they were required, but to those on the spot, and who are aware of the urgent necessity for their services on the immediate frontier, it appears to be, to say no thing of the toil to the men, as strange a proceeding as any that has yet come under public notice. A " Garri son Order" has been issued that on the arrival of this regiment at Graham's ToWn, they are not to halt there, but continue their route to the mouth of the Fish River, and to which point Major O'Reilly, the Commandant here, proceeded yesterday morning, for the purpose of personally attending to the debarkation of the 73d Regiment, and to make such arrangements as circum stances may appear to render necessary under the cir cumstances. It is currently reported in town to-day, that Umhala has followed the example of Stock, and surrendered him self to the British authorities ; and it is also affirmed that Creli has made some pacific overtures, offering to give up the colonial cattle in his territory. These re ports, however, want confirmation. Some of the Burgher levies are, it is said, discharged, and about :to return home. • OFFICIAL DISPATCHES. Head Quarters, Camp, Buffalo Poort, Kaffraria, Aug. 28, 1846. His Excellency the Governor and Commander-in- Chief publishes the following dispatches, relating to ope rations in the Windvogelberg, in which the conduct of Captain Hogg who commanded, and of the officers and men employed in these operations, has been highly sa tisfactory : Fort Cox, Aug. 25, 1146, 10 A.X. Sir,—l have much satisfaction in transmitting to you :or the Commander-in -Chief's information, a letter just recived from Captain Hogg, detng_ his operations on the Windvogelberg, with the force which I detached from this post under that officer's command, on the 16th instant. Captain Hog having communicated with Mr. Fynn at the Tarka, t was agreed that a force consisting of as many of the 45th as could be spared, with a mixture of Fingoes and Kftal9:l3 Kafirs, with the Boers under Field- Commandant Pretorious, should proceed from the Tarka side to co-operate with Captain Hogg's force, and to be joined by the Klip Plat Hottentots from Shiloh. Captain Seagram, of the 45th, having been joined in the morning by Field-Commandant Van Wyk, pro ceeded at. once to the kraal where the tnurderers of Mr. Aldum resided, killed nine Kafirs, and destroyed it, taking 200 head of cattle. Next day Captain Seagram proceeded towards Mapassa's kraal, having been on that day joined by Field-Commandant Pretorius. This party had a smart skirmish with the enemy, killing several of them, and putting the rest to flight. The Klip Plat Hot tentots and Fingoes, who had received orders to station themselves between the two forces, disobeyed that order and went to plunder, attacking some Kafir kraals, kill ing fourteen of the enemy, and taking several cattl of a nd horses. e horses. The consequence o f their disobediene themselves to order they received, and havin g betaken plunder as stated, was th eir being attacke d dis persed state by a number of Kafirs, an d , s i aftern this a sharp had taken • fight, driven back to Shiloh, with the loss of thirtee n of their number and near l y all the cattle they` Several of the enemy also fell in this affa,ir. Captain Hogg having entered the Riet River Valley with his force, succeeded in capturing four thousand head of cattle, killing six of the enemy, and proceeded next morning with the captured cattle to Shiloh. Cap taro Hogg s peaks in terms of high approbat ion of the conduct of the parties under Lieutenant Hunter cf the Swellendam Native Infantry, and Field-Commandant Van Wyk, who, after a sharp fight, killed thirty of the enemy. Captain Hogg having united his force to that of Cap tain Seagram, returned to Shiloh—the whole of these operations having been successfully and well executed in the space of five days from the departure of the fbree under the former officer from Fort Cox. . Although not mentioned in Captain Hogg's dispatch, I learn from a private letter, that Mapoma, acter in the murder of Mr. Aldum, is now a aisoner at `the 'Arita: Captain - Hogg, having selected Trott) four' to five hundred oxen for the use of the troops, an:; brought them to Eiland's River Post, where theTfronl:li!) to be distributed where most required, the'remainder the cattle captured being mostly cows; have been divide amongst the Boers and the Kafirs of Kama and Derma - nus. Many of the oxen are recognised as those capturet at Burn's Hill. Captain Hogg reports Sir Andren•.: Stockenstrom's waggons as being at the foot of . the: WindvOgleberg, which renders it probable that Sir An. dress intends returning that way. • • Captain Hogg has sent Field Captain Ayliff to tl4, Chief Umterara to ascertain what part he weans go taLt% • the contest. Of Mr. Ayliff, Captain Hogg speaks itt. terms iof high approbation. • The.zealous and energetic conduct of Captain Hogt throughoutthese operations speaks for itsalf ; and leave-4 nothing further for me to observe upon than to 'Teem mendithat7officer ;in the strongest manner to his Exe ( '' leney's notice. .1 . would also beg to draw his Excel • lency's attention to the ready manner in *Moll •CapiO Seagram ofthe 45th Regiment co-operated with Captain: o v l e o n t the c h l o o n e o t u h r e, t: i: b e Hogg from the moment Of , his arrival in that district.' • Lieutenan l t- h C a , Sir, lira ,• • i t ., ll D A er ß u E ty , - Caluna Quarter-Master-General. • Eihind's River, Sunda Aug. 3, 1846.

Fort h i ob, ,xo late in the e lli v sending messen gers-f ng , rode inthenight from thence to the Tarlia,to inform the resident agent of b intended attack upon Mapassa, and also t o seoure e t h :: co-operation of Captain ,Seagram. It was proposed Vitt his force, consisting of as many of the 45th as could bo spared, and a mixture of .Fingoes and Kama's Kafirs should enter from the Tarka side, with the Boers under Field-Commandant Pretorius ; that the Klip Pleat, got-. tentots, and a few Fingoes. and Boers, should talfe np Q eir station on a commanding point in the centre, and wait in observation ; aad that my force should enterby ' • the valley through which the Riet River runs, passing . round the south east point of the Winclvegelebergebeing joined in the mornieg by,,the Boers under Commandant Van Wyk. Captain Seagram, furnished with guides .by Mr. Fynn, marched straight upon the kraal where-the • murderers of Mr. Aldum resided, killed nine Kafirs, and destroyed it, taking about 400 bead of cattle, as many as he thought it w".s, possible for him.to manage. The next day he proceeded onwards towards Mapasea'4 kraal, had a sharpe skirmish with the enemy; killing several, without loss on his side. and putting them to flight. Field-Commandant I'retorius was present on this occa sion, having only joined on the second day. The Klip Pleat Hottentots and Fingoes stationed between the two, forces, with orders to wait, disobeyed that order, am! attacked several kraals, killing some thirteen or four teen of the enemy, and taking cattle and horses_ They then seem to have dispersed to plunder in every direction. The Kafirs collected in the neighbour\ - : hood come down upon them, and after a sharp fight, in which thirteen - of the Shiloh people were killed, they were driven back, and nearly all the cattle retaken from them. Several of the enemy fell also in this affair. This disaster was entirely occasioned by this party not at tending to the orders given them. My force entering the abovementioned valley, took 4,000 head of cattle. killing six of the enemy, and took up a position for the night on the Viet River. The next morning drove to Shiloh—the Boers under Commandant Van Wyk on our right flank. We accomplished this operation with. scarcely any resistance on the part of the enemy. AG one point of the line of march they mustered on a stony ridge about 80 horsemen, and about 150 on foot; bar, not more than thirty of the Swellendam infantry, acting as flankers under Lieutenant Hunter, drove them from it in the most gallant manner,. pursued them over a flat to a still stronger position, whisk they at. tempted to occupy, and drove them from it in like manner, killing and wounding several. We arrived at Shiloh on the fifth day from Fart Cox. The next day I marched and joined Captain Sea - gram; we united, and returned together to Shiloh. j have selected from 400 to 500 of the best oxen for the use of the Ist Division, and brought them down to this place. The rest have been distributed, being nearly all cows, to the BJers, Hermanus' and Kama's Kafirs, &u. Captain Sutton will allow them to remain till an escort is sent for them from Fort Cox, which I trust will be den• immediately, as there is no grass, giving the escort, con sisting of 500 men, a day's rest here. I shall proceed back to Shiloh, and resume operations against Mapass. s I sent MA Ayliff to communicate with Umtikaka, and lo find out what part he intends to take in the ciptes t. From this gentleman I have received the greateß' sistance. The force is somewhat fatigued with the 140 d work of collecting and driving cattle—the former n a very easy affair in an open country for infanta v. His Honour having kindly givers me so marry men, I can hardly as for more ; but thsa country is full of horses, which the foot men are unable to take, and a few cavalry would be of the greatest assis tance. We are also in want of flint ammunition. There is a gun at the Tarka, which, should horses be sent up f , :x L it, would in this open easy country be very effective. , All the Gaika cattle are on the Bulota, we hear, and Sir Andreas Stockenstrom's waggons are under the Wind vogelberg. Many of the cattle taken are recognised vs having been in the waggons at Burn's Hill, and mimbers as Colonial. I forgot to mention that Van Wyk's Boers had a very bard fight on our right flank—l believe with the Kafir!' repulsed by Lieut. Bunter—and killed about 30 of theta, but were obliged to relinquish some of their horses, which wor oknoekedup. There is forage at the Tarka, but very little flint ammunition. The Boers' horses are too poor for them to be able to exert themselves muoti. Sir Andreas Stockenstrom's people, who are with the waggons, sent to Shiloh fur slaughter oxen; as non.) were there procurable, I sent them thirty. I have se cured also about fifty pack-oxen for the use of the troops, which will be of great service in carrying provi sions, &c., and I hope to send his Honour a good ac count of Mapassa and his cattle. Hoping that he ; approve of what has been done, and that he will be sal tisfied with the exertions of all the troops employed, which have been great. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, W. S. HOGG, Capt. 7th Dr. Grds.

Thu PARISH OF ST. PAUL, COTENT.GARDN, AND THE ' COMMISSIONERS OF WOODS AND FontsTs.--The announcement of the fact that it is th 4. intention of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests" to compel the parishioners of St. Paul, Covent-gaitien, to contribute largely to the expenses of constructing the projpettel new street from Cranbourne-street to New-street, C over*. garden, has excited some sensation in the latter patish, and measures are now being adopted for offiling most determined opposition to the measur e. In f.he fir l4 place, the parishioners of St. Pau l, Covent- g arden, plain that they should be made to contribute, uncles' PRY circuMstances, to the expenses of carrying out what theY maintain to be a great pub lic, not local improvemem, when they know that the cost of all the other mutat:h.: plated metropolitan improvements are to be paid°l3Vt the public money.
