Evening .. 9 minutes after 2. fatentliTA ATIL LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1846, and magnanimity ? It it not a principle the most subversive of generous legislation ? Is it not opposed to the very radix of civil liberty and national inde pendence? The proposition for the annexation of the republic of Cracow to the dominions of Austria is one of the most execrable and flagrant violations of justice ever adventured upon since the odious dismemberment of Poland. Our rulers have now motives for complaining, not merely of the violation of the antiquated treaty of Utrecht, but of the more recent, and, if possible, more solemn treaty of Vienna. In direct opposition to the stipulations of that compact between the assembled sovereigns of Europe, the city of Cracow—the last remnant of dis membered Poland, which was expressly guaranteed its independence, and was committed to the protection of the northern powers—is about to be sacrificed to the tyranny and dishonesty of its faithless defenders. The northern powers have broken, or are on the eve of breaking, their trust, and that, moreover, under cir cumstances of the most atrocious description. By exciting the people of Galicia to acts of in subordination in February the perfidious Administra tion of Austria has afforded itself an excuse for some decisive movement, and it is now availing itself of the misunderstandings which have arisen between England and France for the realisation of its long-suppressed intentions. Cracow is to be delivered up to the possession of Austria : Russia is to be indemnified by the cession of portions of Galicia : Prussia, as in all similar transactions, being the least influential and powerful of the triumvirate, is to be treated with sovereign indifference, and to receive nothing what ever in the shape of compensation. Such is the programme of the monstrous proceeding by which the engagements of the Congress of 1815 are about to be laughed to scorn. Will the other Powers implicated in those engagements submit quiescently to this villanous transaction ? Will they behold the last vestige or rev.li annumatea, and their own character as parties to that destruc tion lost, unmoved ? If such a catastrophe as the one threatened be permitted the most hideous episode in Grecian mythology will be realised, and its realisation will be on a gigantic scale, and in a civilised age. England and France, by conniving at this final destruction of Poland, will render themselves liable to the most unendurable im putation. After allowing Poland to be torn to pieces and cast, limb by limb, before the northern Powers, they will now to all appearance throw the last mournful fragment of that nation be fore Austria and Russia, to appease the territorial avarice of those empires, or, at the least, to en= ure their conciliation. Common sense assures us that this will be the natural deduction, supposing that the Governments of St. James's and the Tuileries wink at such an execrable annexation and permit such a flagitious violation of faith. Parliament will have to consider this delicate point, and to insist upon the preservation of the engagements of the allied Monarchs and their plenipotentiaries at Vienna. European relations must henceforth be conducted upon an entirely new and unprecedented principle. Instead of insuring the friendship of neighbouring states by mutual compromises, either political, mone tary, territorial, or commercial, statesmen have latterly done so by nothing more extraordinary than simple match-making. In emulation, possibly, of the feudal custom, whereby the resident peasantry of an estate Were transferred from one landlord to another, together with the soil, of which they- were as much the appurtenance as the browsing and ruminating cattle, the Cabinets of this hemisphere have recently endeavoured to dispose of an entire people as the mere dowry or dotation of Infantas and Royal Highnesses. Beyond this striking innovation in international diplomacy, there are others of a subsidiary character which would have been creditable to the "Prince of MacntavEma." Our allusion will be immediately comprehended on the enumeration of a few circumstances which have already acquired such miserable noto riety, and the mere intelligence of which has ex cited such universal execration. In the country of CALDERON and SAAVEDRA we have seen the national liberties bartered to an avaricious Government for the questionable advantage of a compulsory husband ; or, at the most moderate calculation, we have seen the preservation of the Spanish nationality risked upon a precarious but probable contingency. In the coun try of CAMOENS we have seen the will of the population derided by the expulsion of a popular Ministry, and the forcible substitution of one subser vient to the wishes of an adjacent Sovereign ; we have sk-Qn a repetition of the court enteutes, which were of such incessant occurrence at Madrid during the pro fligate dictatorship of EMANUEL GODOY ; we have seen a_rePeOtion of those disgracef u l i n t r i gues i n th e St a t e Chambers of Lisbon. We are beholding at this mo menta.a str,Ruuous effort at th e m ilit ary su bj ugat i on o f Lae t.e 'rttif3o-ese ; we are receiving by every addi tional packet accounts of the sanguinary cont es t s between those eogaged in this ir civil warf a r e . B y th e are e latest intelligence weinformed of th e con ti nue d the systemati c blockade l stematiabl bombardment of Evora, and of deplorable calamities of the river Douro. All t h ese de have been entailed u pot: an unoffe community by the unjustifiable and unconstitutional interfer ence of a foreign Power. It is by these incessant and criminal transactions, it is by the trifling away of nationality for the selfish purpose of individual aggrandisement, that the honour of nations is becoming a by-word, that solemn trea ties of statesmen and sovereigns are in danger of be coming as little valued as the husks of corn. If these things meet with incessant connivance, the freedom of Europe may be ultimately juggled away, and the liberal spirit of its constitutions be frittered down to the semblance of its ancient thraldom. On looking through the general intelligence which has just reached us from Ireland, we are agreeably pleased to observe that no fresh instance of disturb ance or riot has occurred, having any relation to the dearth of food or want of employment This is a cir • cumstance upon which we have hitherto been unable to congratulate the public, since the first outbreak that equally established the alarm of the people and the presence among them of actual destitution. The fact we allude to is a wholesome sign that the spirit of insubordination, which it was not long since feared might spread itself to an uncontrollable degree, is in a great measure quelled. We are not as yet sanguine enough to be lieve that the public tranquillity will not be again partially compromised ; but even if we should not be mistaken (and we sincerely trust we may), the same firmness, if necessary, and the same practical re buke, which the Lord-Lieutenant recently adminis tered to the insurgents, will operate as a salutary check. The Board of Works have already suc ceeded in swelling the list of their employed to 150,000, thus demonstrating an activity on the part of the officials which cannot be too highly lauded. The enormous expenditure, which is being herein incurred, lead many to think that the resources will soon be dried up, and that' it will be found impossible to find permanent employment for the stricken population, so as to carry them through the winter. We do not share in this despondency. Whilst food was scarce, its prices high, the people generally unemployed, and before voluntary relief could shape itself into something like a system, (which, to be effective, must necessarily be the case, where the field of commiseration is so extensive as Ireland presents to our view at this moment), it could not be otherwise in the outset than that the Board of Public Works should draw largely upon the public finances, to be hereafter repaid by the lands upon which they are being respectively allocated. Looking, moreover, to the urgent condition of the impoverished and perish ing people, certain abuses, in the earlier stages of this vast operation, could not, without a miracle, be pre vented from creeping in. These, however, have been quickly discerned, and are being judiciously suppressed. Thus, many have been receiving wages under public authority whose real circumstances were not sufficiently stringent to entitle them to such a method of remune ration. Again, farmers could not secure la bour to till their acres, in consequence of the preference which the labourers felt for bestowing their toil on public works. According to one official notice, the first class will be rapidly weeded out from the Government list, and, by virtue of another, the farmers have only to intimate to the stewards their want of hands, and disposition to pay fair wages, and the complement of labour they require will be forth with at their command ; since, in case the persons selected should refuse the occasional employment offered by the farmers, they would be imme diately discharged by the officers of the public works. But now that food is becoming cheaper, that large openings for employment are being made under the joint auspices of public and private undertakings, and, above all, that landlords are becoming aware that by themselves must the expense of feeding and employing the destitute be chiefly and justly borne, and of the consequent importance of distributing the physical energies of the distressed in channels of reproductive industry, we see good reason for believing that these circumstances, with the benefit of voluntary relief superadded, will have the desired effect of stnahuuoccsutoguihnrtienbvgiyta many, u r t the y l o r v ish from the di s tres s whi c h, it i s e n a r k e e fl e theme tingl y before, a s l i o t n g. seems to us, The Repeal Association met on Monday. A Roman Catholic bishop was present,, the Right Rev. Dr. BROWNE (Bishop of Elphin). It was the first time a bishop had been seen in Conciliation Hall. The novelty was warmly acknowledged. The Bishop assured the meeting of the approval with whi c h the entire body of the Roman Catholic clergy viewed the " moral force " principles of Mr. O'CONNELL. The conduct of " Young Ireland " was severely censured by his Lordship. The rent for the week amounted to 372/. From Boston alone a contribution of 200/. was received. These Transatlantic donations are invidiously regarded by some, and an undue importance of a political charac ter is attempted to be attached to them. For our part, we see nothing objectionable in them. Thou sands of Irish flock to the American continent, and it is not unnatural that, credulous enough to fancy repeal would render their country happy and pros perous, they should follow the bent of mistaken patriotism, and occasionally remit to the exchequer of the Association. Mr. O'CONNELL entered into a warm defence of his conduct towards his tenantry, towards whom he appears to have acted with great liberality and kindness. By the large and propor tional abatement he has made in his rents., and the quantity of food he has purchased, he he .s set an example which other landlords would do weld to i •- What, let us ask, is the political principle adopted towards the country of KosclcsKo? Is it not a principle the direct antithesis of honest dealing THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNI tate. The Repeal Committee are to prepare Bills for presentation to Parliament on the following subjects : " A Bill to augment the Parliamentary representation, a Bill to increase the elective franchise, a Bill to amend the present system of registry, a Bill for municipal re form, a Bill to procure freedom of education, a Bill to establish the tenant right, a Bill to compensate tenants for improvements, a Bill to diminish the stamp duty on leases, a Bill to take away the power of distress, a Bill to abolish the power of grand juries, and a Bill to tax absentees at least 20 per cent." The greater portion of this catalogue relates to ques tions of the first magnitude. We do not, however, expect to see any of them brought to maturity dur ing the ensuing session. The present difficulties of Ireland will entirely absorb the whole of the time that Parliament will be enabled to devote to that portion of our dominions, consistently with its due attention to the other great national interests to which its legislation must be directed. The following extract from a letter, dated Vienna, rth November, appears in the Nuremburgh Corres pondent : " The ordonnance issued by the Bavarian Govern ment imposing an ad valorem duty of 25 per cent. on the exportation of corn has produced alarm in the Tyrol, inasmuch as that province derives the greatest part of its supplies from Bavaria, and at the same time enjoys the advantage of paying only one-half the ordinary en• trance duties of Austria. Our Government has, with great regret, been forced to depart from its principle of not fettering the corn trade, and has also put restrictions on exportation." Letters from Ancona of the sth instant give the following intelligence on the subject of Mr. IiVAG HORN'S plans for the conveyance of the overland mail : the Courrier Francais, the bands of armed mendi cants were increasing to a frightful extent, and, not withstanding the activity of the gendarmes, conti nued their depradations. This jacquerie has extended to the neighbourhood of Beauvais, where, on the night of the 11th inst., a band of eleven persons, amongst whom were several women disguised in men's clothes, traversed the districts of Formery and Marseille, carrying away everything they could lay their hands on. The gendarmes of Marseille, how ever, sallied out in pursuit of them, and succeeded, after some resistance, in arresting three women, whom they escorted to Beauvais and committed to prison. The sword of the brigadier was broken in the collision with these mendicants. _ _ " Mr. Waghorn, having failed in his attempt to convey the Indian mail via Trieste, now proposes to briing it through Ancona, Lombardy, and the Splugen. The trial of this new road will be made at the cl , :)se of December. Mr. Waghorn arrived here the day before yesterday to prepare for its execution, and, after h aving had a long conferences=i, Lu the .1. z, 3rit.lsh,,,,Cntoenmsupli,atli:toenrteo pnirod to Rome.

The following is the official account of the affair between the troops of the Queen of PORTUGAri, and the insurgents at Cintra Marshal BUGEAUD, Duke d'lsly, arrived at Algiers on the sth inst., in the Cameleon steamer, together with his family. During his passage, and for a short time after his landing, the Marshal suffered from indisposition ; but, at the time of the departure of the mail, all serious symptoms had disappeared. We find the following in the Constitutionnel : " We a few days back expressed an opinion that the Government would not engage in any expedition against Madagascar, at least for the present. Our presumptions appear to be in a course of realisation, as a part of the vessels on the station in these lati tudes are said to have been recalled." The Journal des Debats publishes a letter from Perpignan of the 11th, which states that a band of Carlists, 47 in number, had been arrested at Urbanya, that eight more had been arrested at Carcasonne, and 27 more at Narbonne. There were several officers among them. A depot of arms had been seized at Quillen. The same letter states that it was reported at Perpignan, that the Carlist chief, TILTS TANY, had been taken and shot. A Carlist chief, named BURGO, was arrested at Vich on the 4th.

BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, NOVEMBER 17. " COLUMN OF OPERATIONS ON THE NORTH Op THE TAGUS. " Quarters at Cintra, Nov. 7, 1•:;46. " I hasten to bring to your Excellency's know,ledge, that having set out at seven o'clock this mu ruing from Agualva, I took the road to Cintra, and at eight we first saw the rebel position, on the road bet tween the quintas of Quadros and Ignacio do Barros. As these quintas are thickly wooded, I caused three discharges of musketry to be made, as well to dia lodge the enemy as to reconnoitre their strength ; and 1 as I saw that they held to the same positions, leaving ;- my piece of artillery and baggage in a strong position, I ad vanced with the rest of my force, the first column !: y the quinta of Ignacio, commanded by me, the secora i by Captain Alvares, of the 10th Infantry, to turn the c i uinta of Quadros.

I marched on to San Pedro (a portion o f the Serra, on the Lisbon extremity of the town), in s ihich position, naturally one cf extreme strength, and well fortified by them, they awaited our advance. lat scked immediately, which the infantry did with the it tmost ardour, notwithstanding that the enemy defendo I the road with a very strong fire, and we immediately had one soldier killed and five wounded. Nothing, how ever, could detain our soldiers, though the !rebels amounted to 400 or 500 men, of whom 150 were regularly armed, and the rest had fowling-piece 3 and pikes. The fire lasted for five hours and a hui if, in which we gained ground on them foot by foot t 4 ) the Serra, and routed them entirely, the remainder flying in every direction. I cannot yet state with exactnes s the loss of the enemy, which must ba very great, the fa tigue of the soldiers having prevented me from verifyie .g it. On this occasion I must notice with great praise the con duct of Lieutenant Bandeira, of the extinct battali, on of the Queen's Volunteers, who on this occasion joine d the Municipal Guard, assisted me to the utmost a f his power, us a cavalry officer, and after having ha I his horse wounded under him, advanced on foot at the k head of the infantry; likewise of Captain Piment A, of the Mupicipal Guard, who charged by the str sight ' road to etiaes, cutting down the rebels, in which di harge nine were killed, of whom three fell by his own : hand; also of the second lieutenant and sergeant of arm illery, , who, after making the greatest efforts to use that arm, advanced sword in hand to the charge with the cal airy; l and of :Lieutenant Veripenio, who conducted hi mself with areal courage.

" G, NOVEMBER 19, 1846 THE KAFIR WAR. By the ship Mary Anne, which has arrived at Ports mouth, we have received Cape of Good Hope papers to the sth September. The following extracts from the Graham's Town Journal of Sept. 5, give the latest intel- ligence of the seat of war in Kafirland : FRONTIER AFFAIRS.—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 with a Burgher force under the Field-Commandant Van Wyk, and a detachment of the 45th Regiment, under command of Captain Seagram from the Tarka Post, had made a successful inroad into the Tambookie ' country, capturing 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 tions, were immediately published in the shape of an Extra to our last number, together with the following observations;— Chief Umterara to ascertain what part he means to take in the contest. Of Mr. Ayliff, Captain Hogg speaks in terms of higl- The zealous and energetic conduct of Captain Hogg throughout these operations speaks for itself ; and leaves nothing further for me to observe upon than to recom mend that officer in the strongest manner to his Excel lency's notice. I would also beg to draw his Excel lency's attention to the ready manner in which Captain Seagram of the 45th Regiment co-operated with Captain Hogg from the moment of his arrival in that district. I have the honour to be, Sir, &c. J. HARE, Colonel. Lieutenant-Colonel Cloethe, K.H., Deputy- Quarter-Master-General. It is with peculiar satisfaction we give publicity to the official 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 present 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 moment, and may be hailed, notwith standing our loss 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 those co-operating with him. If there be any exception to this it is in reference to the Fingoes, and these it seems to have been impossible to keep within the tram mels of military discipline. They appear to have suffered severely for their imprudence, and it may , be hoped have been taught a lesson which 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 be 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, who can be 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. Eiland's River, Sunday, Aug. 23, 1846. Sir,—l have the honour to inform you, that accord ing to the directions of his Honour Colonel Hare, commanding the Ist division, I proceeded to the Windvogel-berg, arriving at the foot of it on the second day from Fort Cox, late in the evening. I rode in the night to Shiloh, sending messengers from thence to the Tarka to inform the resident agent of the intended attack upon Mapassa, and also to secure the co-operation of Captain Seagram. It was proposed that his force, consisting of as many of the 45th as could be 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 Plaat Hot tentots, and a few Fingoes and Boers, should take up their station on a commanding point in the centre, and wait in observation ; and that my force should enter by the valley through which the Riet River runs, passing round the south east point of the Windvogel-berg, being joined in the morning 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 head of cattle, as many as he thought it was possible for him to manage. The next day he proceeded onwards towards Mapassa's kraal, had a sharpe skirmish with the enemy, killing several, without loss on his side. and putting them to flight. Field-Commandant Pretorius 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, and 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 Riet 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. At one point of the line of march they mustered on a stony ridge about 80 horsemen, and about 150 on foot; but 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, which 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 Fcrt Cox. The next day I marched and joined Captain Sea gram; we united, and returned together to Shiloh. I 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 Boers, Hermanus' and Kama's Kafirs, &c. Captain Sutton will allow them to remain till an escort is sent for them from Fort Cox, which I trust will be done 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 Mapassa. I sent Mr. Ay liff to communicate with Umtikska, and to find out what part he intends to take in the contest. From this gentleman I have received the greatest as sistance. The force is somewhat fatigued with the hard work of collecting and driving cattle—the former not a very easy affair in an open country for infantry. His Honour having kindly givers me so many men, I can hardly as for more ; but this 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 for 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 as having been in the waggons at Burn's Hill, and numbers as Colonial. I forgot to mention that Van Wyk's Boers bad a very hard fight on our right flank—l believe with the Kafirs repulsed by Lieut. Hunter—and killed about 30 of them, but were obliged to relinquish some of their horses, which were knocked up. 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 much. Sir Andreas Stockenstrom's people, who are with the waggons, 'sent to Shiloh for slaughter oxen; as none 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 will approve of what has been done, and that he will be sa 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. It will be gratifying also for the publie to know tha the chief Stock has been ordered to Fort Peddie, where he is to remain as a prisoner of war, and to subsist at his 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 dealing with these people can be for a moment 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 feel the consequences of their own misdoings, and be unmistakingly 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 whole 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 one that is fraught with momentous 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 Salmond, 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 landed 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 crossing the river, swept off, amongst more petty depredations, 100 head of cattle belonging to one 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. LORD RECTORSHIP OF THE UNI VERSITY OF GLASGOW. ELECTION OF LORD JOHN RUSSELL. (From the Third Edition of the Glasgow Argus of Monday.) The election of Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow took place to-day within the College buildings. The candidates were the Right Hon. Lord John Russell, and William Wordsworth, Esq., the poet. The votes of the four Nations into which the University is divided were as follow : Lord J. Russell.

THE PEACE SOCIETY.—On Tuesday evening, at a public meeting of this society, at the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle street, the third lecture of this month was delivered by Mr. John Stock, Baptist minister, of Chat ham. The subject was defensive war. SUBMARINE EXPIOSIONS IN TIIE THAMES.--The Harbour-Master, Captain Fisher, has, within the Last few days, completed the removal of three sunken wrecks which have for some considerable time greatly impeded the navigation of the River in the Lower Hope. Their removal was effected by submarine explosions, of various charges, averaging from 50 to 5001b5., fired by means of a galvanic battery. In the case of the larger explosion, a remarkable incident occurred at the moment of firing. An immense shoal of fish was passing the spot, and nearly the whole of them were blown out of the water to the extent of near 30 feet, the circumstance being fol lowed by the rising of a huge column of water to about as great an altitude, which emitted a large portion of the destroyed wreck as if from the force of a volcano. The River, from London-bridge to the Nore, is now per fectly free of all obstruction. The dangerous shoal of hard shingle off Limehouse-reach, which stopped the navigation of vessels of a large draught at low water, has recently been entirely removed by the same means. The depth of water has been increased from four to seventeen feet at low water. OFFICIAL DISPATCHES. Head Quarters, Camp, Buffalo Poort, Kaffraria, Aug. 28, 184 G. 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.M. Sir,—l have much satisfaction in transmitting to you for the Commander-in-Chief's information , a letter just . recived from Captain Hogg , detailing operations on the Windvogelberg, with the force which I datached from this post under that officer's command, on the 16th instant. Captain llogg having communicated with Mr. Fynn at the Tarka, it was agreed that a force consisting of as many of the 45th as could be spared , with a mixture of Fingoes and Kama's 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 45 th , having been joined in the morning by Field-Commandant Van Wyk, pro ceeded at once to the kraal where the murderers 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 , disobey e d th at order a nd went to plunder, attacking some Kafir kraals, kill ing fourteen of the enemy, and taking several cattle and horses. The consequence of their disob e di ence of the order they received, and having betaken themselves to plunder as stated, was their being attacked in this dis persed state by a number of Kafi rs , an d , a f ter a sharp fight, driven back to Shiloh, with the loss of thirteen of their number and nearly all the cattle they had taken. Several of the enemy also fell in this affair. • 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 c aptu re d catt l e to Shil oh. Cap tain Hogg speaks in terms of high approbation 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. . P IPEMAKERS STRIKE AT ♦NORWICII.--The journey men pipemakers in this city held a meeting at the London Tavern, St. Andrew's, a few evenings since, when they determined to stand out for an advance of wages, to which the masters have not at present con sented. 1 strike has, therefore, taken place. ST. GILES'S BURIAL-GROUND.—On Tuesday, at a meeting of the directors and guardians of the poor of St. Pancras, a long discussion took place on the subject of the alleged recent desecration of the dead in the burial ground of St. Giles's-in-the-fields, immediately adjoin ing St. Pancras Workhouse. It was stated, on the one hand, that the bodies were but partially decomposed, and the shrouds not decayed; on the other hand, it was alleged that they had been eighty or 100 years buried; the parish of St. Pancras had sold the ground to St. Giles's. It being urged that substances of an offensive and dangerous nature were thus being brought into the parish, a committee, with Mr. Cooper, the medical officer, proceeded to the spot, and, on their return, reported that the pit had been opened at their request, and the lid of one of the boxes it contained lifted up; the pit was about ten feet deep, and more than half full; the box contained ossified remains of human beings; there was no exhala tion or unpleasant smell when the box was opened. The boxes were of the shape of egg-boxes, and had been brought to the ground in hearses. After some further conversation the board appeared to be satisfied, and was 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 force under the former officer from Fort Cox. Although not mentioned in Captain Hogg's dispatch, I learn from a private letter, that Mapoma, the acter in the murder of Mr. Aldum, is now a prisoner at the Tarka. Captain Hogg, having selected from four to five hundred oxen for the use of the troops, and brought them to Eiland's River Post, where they remain to be distributed where most required, the remainder of the cattle captured being mostly cows, have been divided amongst the Boers and the Kafirs oeliama and Herma nus. Many of the oxen are recognised as those captured at Burn's Hill. Captain Hogg reports Sir Andreas Stockenstrom's waggons as being at the foot of the Windvogleberg, which renders it probable that Sir An dreas intends returning that way. Captain Hogg has sent Field Captain ityliff co the adjourned. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 17.—The Royal West India mail-packet Severn, Captain Vincent, went out of port this day at 2 30 r.sr., with the West India and other mails, a good general cargo, and a complement of 100 passengers. The Oriental Company's steam-ship Madrid, Captain Bingham, left the docks en route fa- Gibraltar, with the Peninsular and Mediterranean mails; with several passengers and a very full cargo of bale 'goods, &c. The Queen, Captain Weeks, came into dock last evening, and landed the Peninsular and other mails, which were forwarded to London by the 1 A.M. train this day. Her dates are—Gibraltar, November 6th; Cadiz, 7th; Lisbon, 10th; Vigo, 12th; and Corunna, 13th. The Queen had fourteen passengers and a full cargo of fruit. The Pottinger, Captain Cooper, will take out the India mails to Alexandria on the 20th inst. Another serious slip of earth, on the Bishopstoke and Salisbury branch of the South-Western Railway, took place on Thursday, to a greater extent than the one which occurred about three weeks ago. It was for tunate no men were at work near the place at the time. There is not the least probability of the opening taking place on the Ist of December next, as 43 been reported. •. - taci. •c,,, . Ar l i k • MO • COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.—Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, the Princess Alice, and the Princess Helena, left the Castle at nine o'clock this morning, attended by the royal suite, for Osborne House, Isle of Wight. The august party occupied five carriages and four, and the royal suite consisted of the Lady in Waiting, the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, the Maid of Honour in Waiting, Major-General Bowles, and General Wemyss. The Queen was escorted from the Castle by a party of the First Life Guards. Lord John Russell left the Castle to-day. The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Royal Family, and attended by the Ladies and Gentle men of the royal suite, arrived at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, at half-past one o'clock yesterday from Wind sor Castle. In the afternoon the Royal Children rode on ponies and walked in the pleasure grounds. Viscount Palmerston gave a Cabinet dinner yesterday evening at his residence on Carlton House-terrace to Lord John Russell, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Minto, Earl Grey, Sir George Grey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Earl of Auckland, Lord Campbell, Viscount Morpeth, the Earl of Clarendon, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Right Hon. T. B. Macaulay. The Speaker of the House of Commons had RR in terview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yester day, at his official residence in Downing-street. Lord John Russell arrived in town yesterday from Windsor Castle. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England had a General Meeting yesterday, at the office in Whitehall place. Dispaches from the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, and also from the Governor of the Mauritius, were received yesterday at the Colonial- office. Dispaches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office for the Governor of the North American Provinces. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.-011 Thursday, the sth instant, as Mr. George Thompson, of Barton-le-street, near New Malton, farmer, was ploughing in Barton Open Field, one of the horses suddenly slipped with its hind legs intoa chasm, made by the earth suddenly giving way. Thompson, on seeing his horse in such a situation, was much alarmed, and ran for assistance, when, after much difficulty, the poor animal was withdrawn from the ori fice, without having sustained much injury. On examin ing the opening it was found to be nearly three yards deep, and about the diameter of a well. A person went down with a lighted candle, and states that it appeared like a subterraneous passage, running immediately under where the opening was made, and that he had gone several yards one way, until he came to a turn, but that the other way was made up at some short distance from the entrance. This passage is stated to be upwards of four feet in diameter. It appears that the same spot had been gone over by the plough for a great number of years without the earth giving way.—Yorkshire Gazette. FORGERIES ON THE BIRMINGHAM STOCK-Ex- CHANGE. BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY EVENING. The members of the Stock-Exchange in this town were this afternoon occupied for a considerable time in investigat ing certain forgeries discovered during the day. It ap pears that yesterday morning the Stour Valley shares brought 41. 18s., and opened this morning at 3i. In the course of the day they further dropped to 2i, when, to the great surprise of the brokers, orders were brought upon 'Change, in the names of Massey and Onions (brokers), for the purchase of Stour Valleys at 2!. 17s. 63. Suspicions that all was not correct immediately arose ; an inquiry was instituted, and both the gentlemen whose names had been used declared that they had given no orders for the purchases. Bills offering a reward for the apprehension of the forgers have been issued, but as yet no clue bas been obtained likely to lead to their detec tion. The orders were delivered to the porter at the door, and it is doubtful whether he will be able to iden tify the party from whom he received them. There can be no question that some person or persons affected by the great fall in the Stour shares, and anxious for their a d vanc e,:are concerned in the attempted fraud.
