pt6Lsly bold and daring to tri Ake , A Vigorous on4lttught 'on our rear, for /he - role t ilourse, of dnticipating the attack on theireattle. For thix Colonel Eyre mos Judiciously provided, while hn moved clre , ard to the the result of which he ilial3elt so ably describes. I mention this to . your Lordship with referendh to your dispatch 4o me of the 15th or liekternter last; in which you remark, with reference to , operations in .the Writer kloof, chat "it was the rear ,nd not the vats of the Bri tish force which war engaged with the enemy, and that the latter must, therefore, have been the assailant." In my dispasch of the stn February list I endeavoured to remove this impression, °heaving that " those who have witnessed military operations; and are well acquainted with their varying character, success attending them in one part of the field, while in others partial bodies may be held in check, will not consider the affair of a rear guard as the critekion by which to judge of their general result." In all warfare, but more especially in that of a desultory character, these contradistinctions of attack and defence occur; and no more striking instance has been offered during the war under my conduct than the one now in question, showing at once the daring of the enemy, and that in the operations of a day the affair of a rear-guard does not constitute success or the reverse. H. G. SMITH. Camp, Kabousie Neck, April 8. Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the intormation of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that having rested my men on the 6th inst, I proceed at daylight on the 7th inst. with the force as per margin,* to cross the Kabousie Neck, en route to resume my former position in the Keiskamma Hoek. On reaching the summit of the pass I observed cattle in the distance, and imme diately hastened on the cavalry in pursuit of it under Atekr Armstrong. As we descended into the Hoek, the'enemy, hitherto concealed, came forward with un we,nted boldness and attacked our rear-guard, following Vs into the open in skirmishing order. It was plain that the object of the enemy was to draw us towards him, and so divert our attention from his cattle in front. I therefore pushed on and surrounded the kloof into which the cattle had been driven. With astonishing exertion the infantry climbed up to the highest summits of the mountains between Mount Doom and Mount Thomas, and prevented the egress of the cattle, while 'the Cape Mounted Rifles and Armstrong's Horse dis mounted, and the Levies, under Lieutenant Nicholls, the w h o le under Major A rmstron g , entered the bush, and in spite of the resistance of the enemy captured 210 head of cattle and 15 horses. Above 30 more, evidently choice cows, were found killed by the enemy with assegais. Two of Armstrong's Horse were wounded on this occa sioeo Hearing also cattle in "Auto's Hole" I ordered a company of the 73d to penetrate the bush and search for " spoor." This company failed in finding spoor, and re turned from the bush, having one man wounded. To aspport this company I had ordered one company of the 43d Light Infantry, under Captain Gore,. to enter the bash in another di rect i on . , I a f terwar d s reinforced it with another company of the 43d, under Captain Green, and a company of the 73d, under Captain Burne. The3e three comparnes, under Major Pinckney, penetrated the bush, and wi.h admirable perseverance, in spite of the bepesence of the enemy, who were in considerable num rs captured between 500 and 600 head of beautiful cattle, supposed to belong to Auta, and succeeded in driving them up the precipitous side of Mount Thomas. A considerable number of these cattle, however, could not reach the summit, and were obliged to be destroyed, but we have 630 remaining, and 15 horses. I beg particularly to bring to the notice of his Excel lency the Commander-in-Chief the conduct of Major Pinckney, and that of the three companies under bis command on this occasion. The intrepedity and perse verance with which they pursued through that dense bush a large herd cf cattle, driving them without the aid of Fingoe or Hottentot, and finally captured them, despite the opposition of the enemy, in one of the most formidable positions in the Amaleias, excited the admi ration of every one in the field. We have not succeeded in this instance without incurring, some casualties; and I have to lament, in common with every otficer of the division, the loss that her Mejesty's service has sustained in the death of Captain Gore, 43.1 Lightiufintry- This excellent officer, ju Advaneing to the bush, was shot dead, apparently by some cne in the trees. He was, as usual, in front of hie men, leoding them on with the utmost gal lantry. Ilia place, however, was instantly supplied by Lieutenant Graham, who efficiently commanded the company nod brought :t cut of the bush. Our total casualties were-1 officer killed; 2 rank and file, 43d Light Infantry, wounded; and 2 of the 73d wounded; and 2 of Armstrong's Horse, wounded. I beg particularly to express my thanks to the follow ing officers, though the exertions of all wore very con spicuous—viz., Lieutenant-Colonel Skipwith, command ing 43d Light Infantry; Major Pinckney, commanding 73d; Major Armstrong, commanding the Cavalry; Lieu tenant Nicholls, commanding the Levies; Lieu.enant Gawler, 73d, Deputy -Assistant Quartermaster-General; and Lieutenant Reeve, 73d, Field Adjutant. I have, &e., WM. EYRE, Lieutenant-Colonel 73d Regiment, Commanding Patrol EXTRACT OF GENERAL ORDER BY HIS EXCELLENCY LIEUTENANT-GENERAL THE HON. GEORGE CATH CART. Head-quarters, King William's Town, April 11. 2. The Commander-in-Chief desires to record, as part of the operations in progress under the disposition of his Excellency's predecessor, Sir Harry Smith, the energetic exertions of the column under Ventenant-Colonel Eyre in the Keiskamma Hoek, on the 7th inst., when about 800 head of cattle and 15 horses, belonging to Auta, were captured in one of the most formidable positions of the Amatolas, in spite of every opposition of the enemy. In this affair our casualties were-1 officer (Captain Gore, 43d Regiment) killed at the head of his company, leading them on with the utmost gallantry, and 6 men wounded. A. J.

"D. 5.," Tenby, is reminded that no rejected communi cations are ever returned. Tib - tnimit flt LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1852. Yesterday, at a little more than an hour before midnight, a message was transmitted by the electric telegraph, for the first time, under the waves of St. George's Channel, between Howth and Holyhead. Intelligence of the event reached us in London almost immediately afterwards, and in announcing this day the suscessful completion of the enterprise, it is impossible to do so without expressing at the same time our most earnest exultation. In the triumphant close of the undertaking we recognise the - augury of almost incalculable benefit to Ireland. The political Union of the two islands in 1800 by Act of Parliament seems at length, after the lapse of half a century, to have been completed by this physical Union in 1852 by means of the Electric Telegraph. Whatever objections may have been raised hitherto in reference to the results of the former proceeding, cannot, we feel assured, be henceforth repeated in allusion to the consequences of the latter achievement. The dream we have long cherished, the cause we have long advocated, the hope we have long entertained appear at length to be approaching to the period of their tardy but eventual realization. We behold in the occurence here celebrated, that of laying down the tele graphic wire from Holyhead to Howth, and that conse quently of flashing messages to and fro in the twink ling of an eye between Dublin and Liverpool, the promise of a very considerable movement, both mer cantile and maritime in its character, such as must ultimately tend to constitute Ireland the great high way for the commerce between England and the United States. With so much traffic passing con tinually backwards and forwards through the centre of Ireland, it must inevitably happen that the re sources of that heretofore unhappy land must be rapidly and increasingly developed. Even now the principal portion of the preliminary labour required for the carrying out of this most desirable object may be said, with perfect truth, to have been already successfully and permanently accomplished. Before the magical wire was laid down across St. George's Channel, the line of electric telegraph wa s completed westwards from Dublin to Galway, and south-eastwards from Liverpool to London and West minster : so that by the connexion yesterday esta blished between Howth and Holyhead, a direct inter course may be at once opened up from the capital of the United Kingdom to the Bay of Galway, namely, to a spot situated at a distance of almost five hundred miles due west from the metropolis, at a point imme diately confronting the American shores of the At lantic. All that remains to be done now, therefore, is to open uu the western coast of Ireland a harbour sufficiently secure and capacious to contain vessels of the largest bulk and the heaviest tonnage, so as to enable the sister island to be the stepping ground to England, the place of debarkation and embarkation to and from the United States. This is no fantastic proposition suggested, 'on the instant, by the com pletion of the electric telegraph between Howth and Holyhead. It is a suggestion we ourselves, long ago, submitted to the consideration of the public, with especial reference to the magnificent harbour Capable of being constructed at Valentia. The advantage of such a scheme as the one here pare ""Ilarised mnst,we conceive, at once, at the first glance, at the first blush, be apparent: The practicability of it s t s buspletion, moreover, needs, at this hour, no very e l t utkrate demonstration ; nor would it be ne cessary' let us add , to restrict the benefits certain the enterpris accr ue from the carrying out of solitary portion of Ire land upon the east, e t on e orupo n the west—confining th e termini of the propose d route exclusively to Gal way and Dublin. It were possible, and it may be even advisable to open up simultaneously, or in qu i c k succession, lines of traffic running not only in tba g particular direction, but from Wexford to the mouth of the Shannon, by way of Limerick, or from ,Di to ngley B sy Waterford by Doneraile, or from Cork Os so very. freque nt l y to theproposed before in these columns) harbour aeen; of Valentin, by way o f the beautiful er of Killarney. A c ross St. George's Ch annel, annel, as ' previously across the Straits of Dover, it is intended to lay down two or three distinct wires, a° as to render com munication less • the telegraphic c liable to the accidents of inter ruption. Why not, upon a si milar principle, ope n up two or three routes for the Atlantic across the sister island, among which routes, of course, must a l wa ys re ma i n Conspicuous those connecting Galway w ith Dublin, and v a eutia to the metr o p o li s of with Cork, proceeding respectively , p \ 1 au 1 • 0.• 44 . . , • 4,.„ •••''''', ',?..: - r - '' .- - 1 ; 7 ) = -''' ' -- -- \"'"d?

The writer attributes the disregard thus culpably evinced to the benefits certain to result to Cork from the judicious and speedy employment of the electric telegraph, to the apathy of the Great Southern and Western Railway Company. " With regard to the cost," it is observed, " of a line of telegraph, it is at the utmost of very paltry amount, and not to be put for a moment in competition with the thousand ways in which it would serve the interests of the company." Yet this very question of the expenditure required in any such enterprise appeari from the statement of the same journal to have been the very one which has hitherto prevented the Great Southern and Western Railway Company from adventuring upon its com mencement. " Sometime ago it was rumoured," says the same writer, " that the only delay in laying down a line of telegraph along the railway aros e from some difference about the expense with the proposed contractor. But, although abundant time has elapsed to bring this haggling to a close, they have slept profoundly ever since on the subject." Thus, while the company at Cork have been hesitating about the propriety, •or rather economy, of laying down the electric wires simply along the ,line of railway from Dublin, that same magic medium of electricity has been extended by laud westwards to Galway, and by sea eastwards to Holyhead. The incident is worthy of remembrance. Its recognition, and still more the perception' of its significance, cannot fail to operate beneficially in imparting an impetus to Irish enterprise. Now that the telegraphic com munication has been completed from Howth to Holyhead, thereby enabling London to correspond almost instantaneously through Liverpool not merely with Dublin, but nearly. 500 miles due west with Galway, let us hope that we may perceive a promise not altogether illusory of improvement in the com mercial activity of Ireland, and consequently in the social prosperity and happiness of her hitherto ill fated population. One of not merely the most interesting, but the most pressing, subjects for consideration at the present moment is that of Australian emigration. Its im portance can scarcely be overrated. Circumstances have developed themselves in an imperious form, and the attention of those in authority has been awakened to the absolute and stringent necessity of a more ex tensive scheme of colonial emigration than has existed hitherto.. A more enlarged, magnanimous, and ra tional spirit begins to prevail, and several of those im politic restrictions which have been permitted until now to cramp and harass intended emigrants have been, if not altogether abrogated, to a considerable extent relaxed and modified. Nevertheless, this par tial relaxation of restraint by no means meets the exigencies of the case. A more extended view ought to be taken by the Government of an empire whose wide-spread colonies should be the brightest gems of its glory and its strength, and whose noblest aspirations it • should be to lay the foundation of a powerful and prosperous nation in that vast and teeming continent which rises from out the waters of the southern hemiaphere. We have before us the letter of a highly intelligent correspondent, one of the many whose thoughts are directed to this subject, in which he says—" The helping hand of the paternal Government should be more extended, and instead of wholly restricting the benefits placed at its disposal to the sending out of mechanics , and labourers only, it might be suggested that a grade a little higher and better edhcated should be permitted to reap some of the like advantages." We cannot help thinking that this suggestion is well-founded, and entitled to attention, viewed both in the light of a home relief and a colonial benefit. There are in the metropolis, as all our readers are well aware, a very large number of respectable young men, well conducted, provided with at least the elements of good education, of the class of clerks, shop-assistants, and the like, who, despite their utmost assiduity, correctness of demeanour, and capacity for business, find it utterly impossible to obtain employment from the never-failing, or, rather, ever-increasing number of competitors with whom they are engaged. Indi viduals, whose great aim and desire it is to obtain "employment"—to turn their abilities, such as they may be, to anything that will afford them mainte nance, but whom the weary search, day after day prolonged, the depressing recurrence of unsuccessful solicitations, arising from the " overstocking of the market," render burdensome to themselves and un profitable to society, with undermined and wasted energies. Now, is it not as clear as noonday, that men of this description and circumstances would be benefited themselves, and benefit a new country like Australia, by being lent a helping hand to emigrate ? What can they do here, and what might they not do there ? It is not to be supposed, nor is it requisite that every single individual who would be thus assisted should be possessed of first-rate capacity ; but a moderate amount of talent, common sense, sobriety, a fair share of energy and activity, these qualifications—and there is nothing so very uncommon in their combina tion in such young men as we have been speaking of —would not only command immediate personal suc cess in that distant land, but would, so to speak, irrigate it by their advent. It is an admitted fact that the constitution of Australian society is some what of a deteriorated tone ; indeed it would be im possible were it otherwise than affected by having been so many years the receptacle for banished crime, olicina gentium infamium, the sink of the parent country. Would it not necessarily tend to its speedier attainment of wholesome strength and purity were it recruited by a salutiferous infusion of in tegrity and honourable worth— would there not, in a word, be a sou n d er an d h ea lthi er mora l state of th i ngs it u n a d t e a r l g l o likely, som e e x un less produced the 4 i e n l the ugs colony o humann y ? Nnoart e is traordinary revolutiom from a change of hemispheres, and that the well-known Horatian maxim, 'Ceelum non animum mutant qui trans mare currunt (a quota tion which, we parenthetically pray, may be let rest in peace for the future with many other threadbare brethren), turn out to be a gross fallacy, that a grate ful feeling would fail to be engendered and perpetu ated by this timely rendering of aid. Ins new colonists would surely be inspired with, and perpetuate a warm and affectionate adherence to the mother country, which could not but be of advantage to the consolidation of the imperial interests. The concluding portion of our correspondent's communication puts the matter so fairly and clearly forward, that we shall more strongly enlist the in terest of the reader, and more conclusively show the feelings which are being awakened in the public mind on this very important feature in colonial emigra tion, by its insertion Than by an enunciation of our own coincident views. " There can be no doubt," says the writer, " that thousands who have the de sire, but who lack even the Comparatively susall sum necessary for their conveyance to a country, the boundless resources of which are unquestionable, would take advantage of a scheme which would be alike benevolent and politic. Indeed means might be taken to ensure the return of the whole, or a part of the sum advanced. There are many whose inde pendence of mind would not allow them to accept this service except as a loan, and respectable security, .or a life assurance, might be re ceived as a sufficient guarantee for the faith ful psrformance of any required agreement. Here, then, is an opportunity for the present Govern ment to perform a distinguished and patriotic service for this country ; here is an opening that is net offered to every Administration, and whatever may be the political fate of the present holders of office, energetic efforts in this direction will redound to their credit, not now only, but in succeeding ages, when Australia shall have reached that mighty maturity which it requires little prophetic spirit to foretel that she is destined to attain."

We read in the Pays:—" It is positively stated that the Council of State is about to have submitted to its consideration a Bill,relative to the imposition of a sumptuary tax on carriage and riding horses and OD dogs. It is well known that on two occasions already the utility of a tax on dogs has been debated on in our legislative assemblies. Although two re ports had been made in favour of the measure, the proposition was nevertheless rejected, in consequence of a singu!ar circumstance. The votes for and against were each time equal. Serious economical considerations now make it desirable that this im portant measure should be adopted at the third trial to which it is about to be submitted." We read the following in Galignani, respecting the Baron DE HECKEREN s recent visit to Germany. The communication is dated from Berlin :—" Various statements are made here respecting the recent visit of the Baron DE HECKEREN j but that which is cur rent in the diplomatic circles, and which appears to be most worthy of credit, is the following :—M. DE HECKEREN'S visit was not officially diplomatic. He was charged with one of those confidential missions which are found very useful among sovereigns and rulers, and which frequently prevent diplomatic mis understandings, but which do not fetter the action of cabinets, and can at any time be disavowed. M. DE HECKEREN was instructed to assure the three Sove reigns of the continued desire of the PRINCE-PRE SIDENT of the French Republic to maintain the peace of Europe, and to caution them against placing credit in rumours got up by the discomfited parties in France of his entertaining designs of a personally ambitious character ; but M. DE HECKEREN was de sired at the same time to allude to the statements in fo reignto the effect that the three Sovereigns, without ur nls a waiting , for any-real indication of an inten tion to propose a change in the form of government in France, had come to a determination to affix limits to the constituted authorities in that country, and to refue to recognise any change beyond the limits so fixed. The King of Paussta, the Emperor of Aus- TRIA, and the Emperor of RUSSIA. are reported to have said that they continued to appreciate as highly as they had ever done the important services rendered to society by the PRINCE-PBESIDENT, and that they had no intention to interfere with any change in the internal affairs of France which should be legally effected, and be the unequivocal act of the nation itself. They claimed no more right to interfere with the domestic concerns of the French people than the French had to interfere with them. This statement may appear extraordinary, after all that has been said in the Belgian and some German and English jour nals; but it has gained great credit here, and up to this moment no member of our Government has in his own circles stated that it is false." _ Several proprietors of the Dombes have solicited the interference of the PRESIDENT of the Republic in behalf of that part of the country, in order to obtain ameliorations similar to those which have been or dered for the Sologne. A deputation of them had an interview with the PRINCE a few days since on the subject. M. ROGNIAT laid before the PRESIDENT a chart of the Dombes, which he examined attentively, and promised the deputation that it should have the serious attention of the Government. It is stated that the Government is occupied in organizing a service of pilots for the coast of Al geria. It is also engaged with two Bills, one for opening an extraordinary credit at 170,000 francs for the restoration of the Church of St. Ouen, at Rouen, and the other, for the foundation of the mu seutn of the Sovereigns of France at the Louvre. The Bsgne of Rochefort is now almost emptied. The number of convicts who demand to be sent to the penitentiary establishment at Cayenne increases every day. A number of women also,who have been condemned to hard labour for life, have accepted the offer to be transported, which will diminish the number confined in the prisons. It is said that a number of the youngest and strongest among these women are about to be sent to Cayenne. General Lvcro MANZILLA, brother-in-law of Gene ral ROSAS, and his family . are shortly expected in Paris. They will, it is said, be followed by General ROSAS, who also intends to take up his residence in France. - An entertainment was given on Sunday by the officers of some regiments of the garrison of Paris, at the Cafe du Gsa, on the Place de l'Hotel de Ville, to the officers of some regiments about to be removed from Paris. Two large saloons in that establishment were appropriately fitted up for the occasion. Nu merous toasts were drunk, and the evening passed off with the greatest cordiality and good-fellowship. The health of Prince Louis NAPOLEON was drunk amidst enthusiastic shouts of " Vive Napoleon I" A band of one of the regiments was stationed opposite the windows, and attracted a numerous crowd. _ A duel was fought on Sunday, near St. Mande, between two soldiers of the Republican Guard, one of whom was killed, and the other seriously wounded. The seconds have been arrested and handed over to the military authorities.

The sales of. Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 American and 1,500 Surat were taken on speculation. The market was very firm at fully previous rates. The sales comprised 5,500 American and 2,000 Surat at 31d. to 44d. per lb.—Rail way Shares were steady at rather higher prices. The condition of the silk trade in London is thus re ported on by Mr. Henry W. Eaton:—" Early in May, operations were comparatively limited, but the last ten days will have fully compensated for any previous in activity. In Chinas a considerable business has been done at generally improved rates, the reduced stocks, combined with the unusually small quantity afloat for the time of year, imparting to the market a decided firmness. Taystiams are extremely scarce, and are realising very high prices. Bengals have at last fully participated in the current business; the arrival of about 800 bales of old silk, long overdue, having to a certain extent supplied the market with the required qualities. In Brutias the recent imports have been taken freely, at a alight advance on the prices of April; and the uncleared stock does not exceed 200 bales, nor that of Persian 400 ballots. In Italian Silk there has been more doing, and at higher prices, but the limited assortment could afford but little assistance in the scarcity of other sorts, supposing eve n th at t h e China Silk was not so much' better adapted to the goods at present required." In a commuication from Mr. H. R. Forrest the specu lation in Cotton is referred to in the following , terms:— " During the month a considerable speculation has taken place in the Cotton market, fostered in a great measure by the operations on the other side of the At lantic, and prices have fluctuated during the month about Id. to id. to the prejudice of the consumers. An opinion is, however, gaining strength that the trade is better provisioned than was thought to be the case a short while ago; this coupled with the almost substan tiated fact that the present crop will amount to 3,000,000 8., with fair prospects of the next yield, to gether with the unsatisfactory state of many of the dis tant markets, will in all probability prevent any further rise, if not create a weakness of prices at Liverpool." We hope sincerely that. Brother Jonathan may be permitted to speculate in cotton as much as he pleases, but that the Liverpool dealers will act guardedly, for there is really no valid ground why prices should be run up. The views taken at Liverpool of the Wool Market is thus explained by Messrs. Joseph Robinson and Co.:— " The extraordinary accounts received recently from the New South Wales gold regions, of the successful results attending those searching for gold, and the ge neral desertion of the flocks by the shepherds, have caused considerable apprehension as to supply, for the sheep in the lambing season require the personal care of those who are in charge, so that it is feared the approaching clip will be a failure. These important considerations have caused an unusually large at tendance at the London sales now on, both of the home and continental buyers, and Australian has ad vanced fully 2d. per lb.; as the season advances no doubt a further rise will accrue. By private treaty, all kinds have been in demand, but such is the bareness of stocks, that the receipts are by no means equal to the requirements; sales chiefly in Black and White Lisbon, Spanish Frontier, Peruvian, washed Oporto fleece, l'urkey fleece and skin, Mogadore, greasy Smyrna, Egyptian, East India, &c., &c., and the market closes with an advance on most descriptions of low Wools of 4d. per lb. All coarse classes are in great request, with the exception o f one or tw d ki n d s , suc h as greas y B ar - T ba u r r y k , ey, &c:; Egyptian, Combing and Wools Russian r e ll ha ve none into the consumpt i on.
