THE KAFIR WAR. Poi*mount, THURSDAY.—By the arrival of her Majesty's ship Apollo, Captain Radcliffe, which came up to Spithead this afternoon, we have files of Cape papers and intelligence from that colony to the 7th of October inclusive, being eighteen days later than those last received. Her dates are, Simon's Bay, October 7 ; St. Helena, October 18; and Ascension, October 27; at which latter place she stayed four days ; her passage is, therefore, a most extraordinarily quick one. She had brought home the following invalids and pas sengers and a large mai l. From the Ca p e—Ca p tain Wilmot, R.A. ; Lieutenant Frye, B.A. ; the Hon. Mr. Napier, R.E. ; and Mr. Deere. From St. Helena—Mr. Gideon, merchant ; Mrs. Hornsby and three children ; and Miss Wragge. From Ascension—Lieutenant Wake, of the Styx steam-sloop, which vessel is very sickly ; Mr. Pullen, master of the Flying Fish, 12, which vessel had gone to the Bight of Benin ; Mr. Kelland, purser of the same ship ; and Mr. Barr, Assistant-Surgeon of the Tortoise ; and twenty-one invalided seamen and marines from the squadrons on the Cape and Coast stations. At the above date the war with the Kafirs was still'going on, but it was rumoured that the Governor shortly con templated some ',decisive measures for putting a period to it. The Kafirs had made several offers of capitulation, but the Governor wanted his own terms complied with, which were, that the insurgents should give up all their arms and restore the cattle they had stolen. The Eng lish boundaries were also to be extended. The Apollo landed the 17th Regiment at Algoa Bay on the 17th of September, and they marched off to Gra ham's Town. The Inflexible steam sloop, Commander Hoseason, ar rived at Table Bay on the 28th of September from Eng land, and, having landed her officers (Lieutenant-Colonels M'Kinson, Montresor, Nicholls, and Napier, and Majors Stocks, Whitenall, and O'Grady) and specie, went round to Simon's Bay to refit prior to proceeding to New Zea land, to relieve the Driver. The 90th Regiment were at Fish River at the above date. More troops were expected out from England. The Conway, 26, Captain Kelly; the Samarang, 26, Captain Sir Edward Belcher (senior officer); the In flexible steam-sloop, Commander Hoseason; the Thun derbolt steam-sloop, Commander Boyle. were in Simon's Bay when the Apollo left, as was the French frigate La Gloire, 60 guns, Captain Peter, refitting prior to sailing to relieve the French Commodore is China. The Larne, 18, Commander Brisbane, was the only man-of-war at St. Helena, and she was on her way home. St. Helena was healthy. The Devastation steam sloop, bearing the broad pen dant of Commodore Sir Charles Hotham, K.C.B, Com mander-in-Chief on the coast of Africa (who had arrived some ten days prior, and was refitting), and the Tortoise store and guard-ship, Commander Morrell, were the only men-of-war at Ascension (which island was very healthy) when the Apollo left. The Madagascar Indiaman left Table Bay the day after the Apollo left Simon's Bay, with the 31st Regi ment on board for England, and also left St. Helena a day after the Apollo. Colonel Hare had arrived in the Thunderbolt from Waterier* Bay a day or two before the Apollo left. The Helena, 16, Commander Sir Cornwallis Ricketts, Bart., had refitted and gone to the Mauritius. All well on board. Rear-Admiral Dacres, the Commander-in-Chief, was expected from the Mauritius in the President, 50, flag ship, a few days after the Apollo sailed. (From the South African Commercial Advertiser of Oct. 3.) " This morning a mail arrived from the head-quarters of his Excellency the Governor, near Waterloo Bay, but does not bring any official intimation as to the terms of the dispatches received by his Excellency from Earl Grey. It is confidently reported, however, that these con tain the most positive assurances of adequate support from the home Government in any measure it may be thought necessary to adopt for bringing the present contest with the Kafirs to a satisfactory and final close. " The Thunderbolt is said to bring round 15,000/. in specie. Information has also been received from Colonel Somerset, who, we stated last week, had moved along the Keskamma and Beka with a force of 1,200 men, for the purpose of scouring the woody ravines which border and branch up from those streams. This operation had, it appears, been conducted with Colonel Somerset's usual zeal and address, the results being, up to the date of these aivices, the capture of 3,000 head of cattle and a good many horses, with the loss of several men on the part of the enemy. Colonel Somerset had sent for a ten days' supply of biscuit, he being about to move forward towards the mouth of the Buffalo, where it is said there was a prospect of his falling in with the treacherous, cruel chief Pato, it being affirmed that he was secreted in the rugged bushy kloofs which characterise the loca lity in question. " We received a report to-day that a few Kafirs had been fallen in with by Messrs. Leppan and W. Wake field, on the Graham's Town road, about 20 miles this side of Somerset. It was late at night when these Kafirs were observed stealthily creeping along the road, upon which Mr. Leppan fired, but deemed it prudent imme diately to retreat to the shelter of some waggons in the The next morning part of the face, with an eye, was found on the spot, from which it would that one of the marauders must have been mor wounded, and carried off by his comrades. The footmarks of two or three other Kafirs were observed near the spot. " We regret to hear that, despite of all the exertions of their field commandant, most of the Stellenbosch Burgher force have, under the ' general order,' broken up their encampment, and are on their way home. Waay Platts, Mauley's Flat, and Fitchet's are entirely aban doned, but there are yet weak parties remaining at Driver's-hill and at Fort Dacres. To the remonstrances of their commandant, the men replied they had not been supplied with food either for themselves or horses, and were determined not to submit to such privations any longer. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. Business waa on a small scale, and with little or no influence on the prices as quoted on Monday. Not a bet we believe was made against either of the leading fa vourites, and an outlay of about 1501. on the Sister to Cobweb colt left him at the same figure as on Monday -28 to 1 offered. 1500 to 50 was laid against Lunedale ; the same odds to 100/. against Glentilt ; 100 to 25, three times, against Johnny Armstrong, and once each against Conyngham and Lord Exeter's lot ; and two or three other beta in smaller amounts. We are also enabled to make a abort quotation on the two steeple chases to come off next week at Leamington. LEAMINGTON MILITARY STEEPLE CHASE.-LATEST PRICES. 100 to 26 agst Lord Strathmore's Switcher—taken _ _ 100 eves on the field agst Switcher, Peter Simple, Red Lancer, and Mkrengo.

He has left to his brother, Captain Houston Stewart, RN., all his possessions and estates at Charlotville, Tobago, with the crop, plant, engines, buildingq, and appurtenances, for his own use absolutely. All his heritable property and other estates in Scotland he directs his executors to dis pose of as they think best, the proceeds to form part of the residue of his general estate. His personal property in England was estimated at 30,000/. He bequeaths 8,0001. and half the residue to be held in trust by his executors for the children of his deceased brother, John Shaw Stewart, to be equally divided among them ; the other moiety of the residue he leaves to his brother, Capt. H. Stewart, who, together with his brother-in law, Mr. John Osborne, and Mr. G. S. Cundel], of Finsbury-square, are his executors, to each of whom is left a legacy of 5001. free of legacy duty. The Hon. Member was unmarried, and died at the age of forty eight, at Carnock House, Falkirk, North Britain, and was buried in the family vault at Inverkip, Renfrew shire. ACCIDENT ON TIIE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—On Friday night, the train which leaves Edinburgh at a quarter to eight o'clock, was thrown offl the rails at a place called Craigton, about ; two miles west of the Winchburgh station, in consequence of coming in contact with a large mass of rock which had I slipped from the face of the cutting. The engine dragged the tender and carriages after it for about twenty or thirty yards ; and the whole train, when our infermants left at midnight, lay deeply imbedded in the sand. The engine is much damaged, and the tender and one of the carriages partially so. Although the concussion was very severe, we are glad to learn that only some flue or five of the passengers were injured, but none of dim seriously. The line was so completely blocked up as , render both rails impassable. The passengers by the half-past seven o'clock train from Glasgow had to vacate their seats, and the train re turned to Glasgow with the passengers belonging to the disabled train. The passengers for Edinburgh had to wait the at the pl ace o f th e acc i dent for an hour and a half, llarrival of the ten o'clock train from this end of the line, which turned back a n d carr i e d t h em to Edin burgh, l eav i ng pssengers to wait the ten o'clock • train from Glasg s ow7 n w hich of course had also to return. ..—Scotsman.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. but just that in the country from which COLUMBUS departed for the discovery of a new world, and con sequently for the incalculable extension of commerce ; it is but just that in that favoured country the Columbus of Free-trade should be welcomed with en thusiasm. As the greatest of navigators enlarged the opportunities for international mercantile transactions, so has the Hon. Member for Stockport opened to his trading countrymen a new world for their commer cial enterprise; he has removed the barriers of pre judice with which the industry and ingenuity of his fellow-citizens had been hitherto restrained and hampered; and, more than thi's, he has divulged to other countries the secret of enlarging the capacities, of diminishing the corporeal privations, of abating the social miseries, and of insuring the universal peace and goadfellowship of mankind. His benevolent policy has been more than patriotic, it has been cos mopolite. We have a sufficient testimony of this fact in the eagerness with which his appearance in other lands is welcomed, in the sympathy with which his sentiments are responded to, in the spontaneous gratulations with which he is loaded by strangers, and strangers who are actually ignorant of his language. There is a deeper truthfulness in the indication of the spirit of this civilised and advancing age afforded by these 'public entertainments to an English calico printer, and member of the British Parliament, than is visible superficially. The truth avouched at Paris, at Bordeaux, at Madrid, at Seville, at Cadiz, that society is progressively attaining a moral eleva tion greater and more universal than it has ever known before, is avouched, not so much by the giving certain banquets, as by the enthusiasm there evinced, not so much by the cordiality of the reception afforded to a foreigner, as by the community of feeling mani fested among men who have been hitherto separated from each other, and who are even at the period of their meeting unacquainted with the dialects in which they severally converse. It is known that the immortal LIEBNITZ was engaged during a considerable portion of his wonderful and noble life in endeavouring to invent an universal language. Had the philosopher sought his materials in the elementary principles of political economy, instead of in the elementary principles of grammar, we think his aspirations would have had a better chance of being realised. He would most speedily have disseminated an uni versal language throughout the world by advocating and carrying into operation the system of free trade. Already this effect is, to a considerable extent, pro duced. Those who have lisped as children in the so norous tongue of LOPEZ DE VEGA, are on the advocacy of the beneficent doctrines of free trade, enabled to com mune with one, who, as WORDSWORTH has nobly sung, speaks to them " the language SHAKSPERE spake." They are enabled to commune with their English guest, but their communion is that of the heart. A short account of the case alluded to by our Norwich Cor respondent has appeared in nearly all the London papers. We cannot insert his communication. CONTENTS Foil DECEMBER. No. CCCXII. 1.

The merchants of Cadiz, loyal subjects of the Bourbon dynasty as they are, coupled with the toast, "To QUEEN ISABELLA !" the toast "To QUEEN VICTORIA !" the toast, "To RICHARD COB DEN !" There is a Marquis amongst those who are desirous of honouring the English merchant and statesman ; there is a Count ; there are men distin guished by the antiquity of, their blood, and others for their peculiar intelligence ; there is the editor of a newspaper ; there are traders and private citizens — almost every class had its representative in the Casino. And what was the nature of the sentiment coupled with the name of Mr. COBDEN ? It was this—" May Heaven prolong his life, so as to enable him to behold the complete triumph of his sound doctrines throughout Europe as he has already done in England!" When we listen to such an aspiration as this coming from the lips of a Spaniard, and responded to by the acclamations of a large body of the most influential of his fellow-countrymen, we believe we have substantial reasons for congratu lating the vast and increasing multitude of free traders. Those who croaked so lugubriously over the prospective downfal of the system of affording eman cipation to commerce, will, we conjecture, feel some amazement at the readiness with which other nations are inoculated with the principles of that admirable system. As we have already reported in The Sun the pro ceedings at this interesting banquet in Cadiz, it would be superfluous to comment in any measure upon the simple, eloquent, appropriate, and graceful re marks uttered thereat by the champion of free trade. It would have been almost sufficient for him to have pronounced that assurance that "he had seen many trades perish beneath the destructive shadow of protection, but none, on the contrary, fail to be invigorated by the salubrious breezes of freedom ;" it would have been almost suffi cient for him to have referred to that one year in which Cadiz was blessed with a free port, and during which it " enjoyed extraordinary pros perity ;" but the Hon. Member for Stockport could not forego the opportunity which the occasion presented to him for enlarging upon the advantages conferred upon a commercial country by the removal of the detriments of intolerable imposts. Never was sickness of body the cause of so much and such use ful activity of mind. Mr. COBDEN is proving him self to be a philanthropist not merely in theory, but in practice. The Sualian Mercury, of the 22d, states that a German merchant had arrived at Frankfort from Cracow, where he had been some time established, and does not intend to return to it, as he fears, from the spirit of the people, that all German residents will be in danger of losing their lives. The Frankfort journals of the 21st state that the Bourse of that city has recovered from the panic caused by the news of the suppression of the inde pendence of Cracow. The German Journal of Frankfort states that the last decree, relative to the peasantry in Russian Po land, has produced a sad impression. A Polish gen tleman near Warsaw, named Wouczr, has been murdered by his serfs. The marriage in person of the Duke and Duchess DE BORDEAUX took place at Bruck, in Styria, on the 16th. The royal couple made a present of 1,000 francs to the church, and gave 2,500 francs to the poor. The King of BAVARIA, in consideration of the pre.. sent high prices of provisions, has made an increase of 20 per cent. upon the salaries of all persons em•• ployed under the Government, and of the performers and other persons engaged at the Court theatre of Munich. The POPE has appointed Consuls for the principal ports of Turkey, and his HOLINESS is about to send an Ambassador to Constantinople to negotiate a treaty for the purpose of securing to the Christian subjects of the SULTAN the free exercise of their re ligion. Madrid papers of the 19th have been received. General FLORES arrived at Santander on the 11th, and was to s a il i n the course o f a f ew days with his expedition against the Ecuador Republic. The seizure of the Gl enelg and t h e two s t eamers in the Thames will probably, however, delay the departure of the expedition. The 19th being the QUEEN'S fete day the Madrid Bolsa was closed. We have received th e Paris papers of Wedne sda y , in all of which the conduct to be pursued by England and France, in regard to the affair of Ctacow, is the subject of comment. The Journal des Debats is on the whole well pleased with the tone adopted by the English press, and expresses a hope that Lord PALMERSTON may yet be induced to join M. GUIZOT in a protest against the usurpation of the three Northern Powers. This is a matter of immense importance to M. GUIZOT personally, fur it is currently reported in the salons of Paris, that in the event of England persisting in her resolution of protesting singly, an immediate change in the French Ministry will be the con sequence. This will perhaps account for the energetic manner i n w hich the French Ministerial organ urges the necessity of a joint protest notwith ' standing its knowledge of the fact that Lord PAL MERSTON has already refused to make a joint protest, and has, on behalf of England singly, already pro tested. On the question of the renewal of the i E n ngl t is h h e c al e l n ia st nictuelionny find It fo is llowing w ing of THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER Q 7, 1846. indictment of the constitutional Liberals against the juste-milieu, and is curious as asserting that it was M. GtazoT who, on the 12th of May, 1839, engaged France in an "ultra-Egyptian policy," and who, by so doing, is consequently responsible for " the untoward events" of 1840—events, however, of the occurrence of which he was not slow to take advantage to pro cure the downfal of a political rival, and to raise himself to power. The Constitutionnel says— " The Journal des Davis has been pleased to copy with its full approbation, a part of the article which we published on Monday on the utility and possible gran deur of an alliance between France and England, sup posing this alliance to have for basis the defence in com mon of the Liberal cause, an intelligent appreciation of the interest of the two countries, and reciprocal faith. The Debats insinuates, however, two things : first, that the language which we employed on Monday was novel for the Constitutionnel ; and, secondly, that the only obstacle to the alliance of the two countries has hitherto been the susceptibility of public opinion, unceasingly kept alive by the clamour of the Opposition. We can not allow these two statements, so contrary to truth, to pass unnoticed, notwithstanding the pacific and honeyed tone adopted in asserting them. For the last four years, on every occasion we have professed on this point the same opinions, and we have not done so alone. Several of the principal speakers of our party professed the same views in the Chamber with all the force that belongs to their language. But some merit existed both for these orators and for us to so express ourselves in favour of the English alliance, when we thereby added to the strength of the Ministry which we opposed. The Debats, on the contrary, must permit us to tell it, that to serve the Ministers in recommending as it did, this alliance, must certainly have cost it little. It would have been far more easy fur us to excite the public feel ings, and the resentment of the contry, to attack the English alliance in an absolute manner, as well as the Ministry, and to urge against the Cabinet all the anger and all the prejudices of public opinion. The masses understand but imperfectly the distinction, deep though it be, that may exist between two modes of understand ing and practising the same alliance ; they wait, in order to perceive it, the demonstration which results from events alone. One must love one's country and the cause which one defends far more than immediate success, to have the courage to remain in the just measure, and not to say more than truth. But, at present, events render evident what was before contested, striking what was obscure, and justify unfortunately our previsions and our language. Every one, even to the most indifferent and most prejudiced, begins to perceive the difference between an English alliance, barren, convenient, all words, powerless in action, full of conflicts, hostile to liberty, such as our pretended Conservatives desired to form for us ; and an alliance, active, generous, liberal, in conformity with the nature of things, which from evil or pusillanimous sentiments they were unwilling to realise, and which would have saved the liberty of Europe from the grave check which it has just experienced. The obstacle to the popularity and duration of the English alliance does not, therefore, proceed from the just complaints expressed by the Opposition, but from the faults of the Government ; this is superabundantly demonstrated by the facts which have lately taken place. If, in 1836, the Government had not refused to execute the quadruple treaty, and had not thus from fear broken its word ; if, in 1839, on May 12, it had not, when counselled by M. Guizot, engaged France in an ultra-Egyptian policy, which they had not the courage to support to the end ; if they had not after wards offended the susceptibility of France by endea vouring to throw her into the arms of England, would the alliance have been at a later period so unpopular and so easily compromised ? What was since then the first " conflict ? The Right of Starch. It was the Govern ment which spontaneously produced it, by signing, without cause or necessity, the treaty of 1841, a con cession without dignity made the day after a check. What was the second difficulty between France and England ? The useless, onerous, and absurd conquest of the Marquesas which the Ministry effected of its own full accord and with ostentation. There were, however, in these two questions, on the one side, the philanthropy and Protestantism of England, and on the other, the high bearing and irritability of France. Our Ministry did not comprehend this ; it created, imagined, invented these two causes of conflict, and during four years the two nations have been on terms of dissent for these two questions. In fine, after having brought Queen Victoria to France, and taken the King of the French to West minster ; after a thousand sacrifices, a thousand em braces, which some great act accomplished in common for the glory of the two nations or for the liberty of the world could alone have justified, everything is broken up and abandoned for a marriage, concluded, not with the Queen of Spain, but with the Infanta, who, it is hoped, will be removed from ever from the throne by the speedy birth of heirs from Isabella. Then the affair of Cracow bursts forth ; treaties are torn to pieces ; Europe is profoundly shaken ; a generous nation pays with the last remnant of its independence for the faults committed by our Government ; and it complains of the rupture of the English alliance, of the speeches of the Opposition ! Was there ever seen a less sensible conduct and so great an inconsistency ? Now, as four years back, with new force and conviction, we say that there was some thing else to be done with the English alliance. We de sire that the two Governments may draw close together, that the two nations may agree better and may compre hend what interests unite them, what sacred cause they have to defend. We ourselves contribute towards the restoration of this good intelligence. We know how difficult is the realisation of these hopes. We received yesterday from London the intelligence that the English Cabinet has not accepted the proposition made to it by M. de Jarnac, in the name of our Government, of a col lective protest, and that it persists in protesting by itself. We regret it ; this isolation weakens our protest and its own. We hope, however, from the wisdom of the two countries, for an approximation, useful to the common greatness and to the Liberal cause." The National taunts M. GUIZOT in the following bitter terms with the consequences of his policy : " England has hastened to protest energetically against the destruction of Cracow. What has the Go vernment, which hangs as a burden over France, done? Nothing. We have had two or three Ministerial articles warmed up in a bainmarie ; Huninguen has been talked of, and it has been said that neither the death of Poland nor that of European right could ensue. But is there any intention of acting? A Government which has the disposal of the public force, which has the budget and the army—a Government which confesses that it has been set at defiance by the three Powers—is such a Government to limit itself to words and signs? It complains of the violation of treaties ; it cannot deny that there is a menace in the last act of despotism. How will it reply to it? It has not even dared to protest. All that it has done up to this moment has been to send instructions to Lon don to endeavour to conciliate Lord Palmerston. And in order that nothing may be wanting in this humilia tion, its journal has for two days asked pardon, apolo gised, lowered its tone, and bowed its head to the Whig Cabinet. Where, then, are the haughty triom phateurs of the last fortnight? What has become of the brilliant diplomatic success of M. Guizot? Where are the proud phrases of the Government which passait outre, and the contemptuous railleries against that England which, it was said, would not long be sulky? All this is now converted into entreaties and friendly advances. The Debuts, dissatisfied with its own style, borrows the language of the Constitutionnel. The English alliance! Who has ever said anything against it? Who has ever called Lord Palmerston an etourdi 2 Who has denounced him as a brand of discord, a torch of revolution? The other day M. Thiers was a brouillon, to-day his ideas are admired and his article copied." After stating that it is evident that England will not consent to a renewal of the alliance, save on con dition of a formal renunciation by the INFANTA, for herself and her children, of all right to the throne of Spain, the article concludes in these words— "ls it decided that this shall be done ? Will they descend so low as this ? We are curious to know this; and if this abdication is to be made, it would be as well to give some previous notice to at least Dynastic France. As far as we are concerned in this matter of abdication we frankly avow that this is not the abdication we should have chosen." We find the following in the Presse on the subject of the affairs of La Plata : " Nearly official information, and which merits every confidence, permits us to announce that the question of La Plata may at present be considered as concluded. It is already known that Mr. Hood's mission had not the result that was expected, because M. Deffaudis refused to accept the article of the treaty, according to which the blockade of Buenos Ayres, the return of the Ar gentine troops on the territory of the confederation, and the disarming of the foreigners at Monte Video, were to take place immediately. This last obstacle to the re establishment of peace has just been removed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who is about to order M. Deffaudis to sign the treaty, such as it was proposed by Mr. Hood on the part of France and England, arid ac cepted by Roses, Oribe, and the men of Monte Video." Count ST.

This moining at two o'clock, the young Grand Duchess Mary, laugher of his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Michael, expired, after suffering several months from rapid decline. Our Liverpool correspondent informs us that the steam-ship Caledonia, which sailed from Liverpool on the 19th instant, with the mails and passengers for Halifax and Boston, was spoken on the 22d, in lat. 51, long. 11; all well. 310,NEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 7,000 bales, including 6,300 American, at sd. to 6/d. per Ih. ; 400 Surat, at 4d. to 4id. ; 200 Egyptian, at 7d. to Eqd. ; and 50 Bahia, at 6/d. per lb. Shares had been rather cheaper, except in one or two cases. The arrivals in the Thames continue large, and the vessels bring ample supplies of necessaries and luxuries. By way of Portsmouth we have late accounts from the Cape of Good Hope. The date from Simon's Bay is October 7th. The most recent advices obtained from the frontier state that the British force had not yet accomplished any particular advantage, although the number of men, including farmers, under arms, was full 10,000. It is asserted, on the other hand, that the Kafirs, almost from the commencement of the war, had been eminently successful. They had captured our baggage in the outset, and but for a subsequent gallant little " affair," in which the dra g oons h a d the only op portunity yet afforded of showing their superiority at close quarter fighting, the whole of the eastern province, it is said, would, have been at the mercy of the Kafirs. The absence of rain had sadly impeded our opera tions, and, therefore, it is highly gratifying to remark that sufficient showers had fallen to wards the end of September to freshen the whole country, and furnish pasturage and water for our troops within a few weeks, the new grass not being considered good until about a month up. The colonists appear to have too lightly estimated their foes, and the extreme difficulty of the country, owing to its ruggedness and in tersection by streams occasionally swollen to a dan gerous extent, rendered it a toilsome undertaking to victual a large force, but it is probable, from the sup plies of cash sent out, together with biscuit and other articles of food, ammunition, and troops, especially riflemen, we shall shortly be enabled to teach the Kafirs a lesson of :respect, and at the same time to indemnify our colonists for the immense losses they have sustained. It is obvious that the natives must not be allowed to retain the stolen cattle, or to evade payment for them where they have been con sumed or destroyed; and as to the neutral territory, we must maintain it as a barrier against the warlike and impetuous tribes which constantly violate our territory. In our remarks yesterday as to the modification of the Lisbon financial decree, we should have stated that the notes of the bank were to be estimated at the current rate of the day in respect to all past transactions, all of which were made upon a specie basis. The decree stands good, however, for all bargains effected after its pro mulgation, and Bank of Lisbon notes must, therefore, be taken at par, however small the intrinsic value of them may be estimated, and which we may suppose must continue unfavourable, seeing that the Bank is well known to be in a weak position. The public securities have been advanced about *cent. to-day, Consols being 94/ to 95 for Money. For the 15th January the rates have been 95 to 951, showing a decided increase since yesterday in the rate of "con tinuation," and therefore renewed confidence among the Bulls. The daily purchases for the Savings'-banks, Annuities, Scc., must, while continued, have a favourable effect, and the only counteracting influence will be in the event of the rich corporations which hold largely, espe cially the insurance offices and banks, deeming it ad visable to sell out at any advance offering a fair profit. Exchequer-bills are not higher at present than Bs. to 1 ls. premium. Bank stock has been steady at 205 to 206. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 95i /, and the Three per Cents., 93i to 93i. East India Stock is worth 257 i. The foreign securities have been very inactive again. Portuguese Four per Cents. are somewhat firmer at 37 to 3-; Spanish Three per Cents. are 374; Chilian Bonds have been 53 to 54, and Brazilian 84/ to 65 4 ; Russian Bonds have been at 1111 ; Dutch Two. and-a Half per Cents. at 59i 4; and Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at 95. hares aro nearly all rather higher to-day, and Shrewsbury and Birmingham and other favourite scrips more especially so. The French lines have participated in the rally. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Anns 93 , 1 1276 :)3 :3 : i 3 per Cent.

L4 4' LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1846. Although the affairs of Portugal have undergone many remarkable changes since we last commented upon the civil dissensions of that country, there is still nothing propitious in its condition. The peasantry and civilians are kept in continual trepidation in con sequence of the harassing uncertainty of the events which are daily transpiring in their neighbourhood. Business is of course temporarily suspended ; the wine trade especially is suffering from a most ruinous interruption ; the lives and properties of the tranquil inhabitants are deplorably jeopardized; a panic has spread throughout the whole of that portion of the Peninsula. When we consider these calamitous facts, and remember that they have all originated in the ob stinacy and the unconstitutional interference of Court intriguers in the affairs of the Government, we cannot regard those intriguers without the utmost abhor rence, and yearn for the peaceful satisfaction of an outraged populace. It is preposterous for the Exe cutive to issue indignant proclamations against the insurgents as lawless disturbers of public tran quillity. If they are lawless disturbers, they have been rendered such by the despotic proceedings: of an unpopular Administration. If public tranquillity is destroyed by their insurrec tionary movements, such is but the natural conse quence of the military coup d' itat by which the Liberal Ministry was recently ousted. When the political and social rights of a population are trifled with, as they have been in Portugal, it is but reason able that the multitude should at length release itself from the painful suppression of its wrath by affording it some ebulition ; it is but reasonable that the per tinacious denial of a lenient Legislature should ulti mately arouse the indignation of the Portuguese; it is but reasonable that the latter should endeavour to wreak their vengeance upon those who have treated the nation so contumeliously for such a protracted period. Such must ever be the result of encroach ments of a like character in these days of enlighten • went and civilisation. L.l the blindness evinced by those who would engraft oppressive principles upon liberal institutions, like the constitutional monarchies of southern and western Europe, an ignorance is dis cernable which almost amounts to idiotcy. Governments actuated by such sentiments are fa bricated of brittle and perishable materials. In stead of building up their power upon the broad and enduring basis of popular affection, they reverse the pyramid ; they base their influence upon an unit, not upon the million, and the structure thus erected is incessantly trembling upon a precarious balance. The existing Government is precisely of this un stable character, and it is this odious characteristic which has caused the present insubordination. From the very commencement of these outbreaks we have discerned the moderation of the wishes of the insurgents ; we have insisted upon the unrevo lutionary disposition of the popular chieftains ; we have endeavoured to demonstrate what has been so generally misapprehended, that DAS ANTAS and his colleagues are not striving to impair the authority of their Sovereign, that they are not desirous of transform ing the throne of MARIA DA GLORIA into a presidential chair, or of even transferring her diadem to another brow. We have maintained that their object is entirely compatible with the principles of right government and the necessity for municipal obedience, that they are solicitous to release themselves from an irksome domination by expelling an Administration which has been odiously forced upon them by midnight machinations, by military interpositions, and by Gallic intrigues. That such is actually the disposition in which these disturbances have been germinated is demonstrated by every successive indi cation of the views of the insurgent leaders. By the latest intelligence that impression is corroborated in a signal and decisive manner. According to very cre dible informers, we learn that DAS ANTAS, in his communications with the English officer who has been dispatched to negotiate, if possible, a reconcilia tion between the belligerents, had entirely satisfied-- Colonel WYLDE that their object was solely to bring about a change of Ministers and measures, and not, as was erroneously reported in several quarters, to annul the fundamental doctrines upon which the Portuguese constitution has been erected. Circumstances, however, have recently altered very materially the position of the insurgents, and the probability of their ultimate success. CAZAL and SA DA BANDEIRA have encountered each other at a place called Murca, in the vicinity of Chaves, on the 16th inst. It would appear that the forces being un equally matched in the first instance, and the cowardly desertion of the 3d and 15th troops, under the latter captain, to his opponent at the opening of the battle having materially increased that disproportion, the consequence was a sanguinary struggle, the utter destruction of the army which had marched from Oporto on the 31st of October, under the banners of SA DA BANDEIRA, with the avowed determination to annihilate the QUEEN'S soldiers, and the almost solitary escape of the discomfited General himself. On the 20th SA DA BANDEIRA is re ported to have re-entered Oporto in a boat from Regoa, accompanied by a few dejected attendants, and betraying in his travel-stained dress and hag gard appearance the extremity of his defeat and aban donment. SA D. 4. BANDIERA is no XERXES even in miniature, but his recent overthrow in the meadows of Portugal is an instructive example of the un certainty of military as well as of all mundane affairs, even under the most propitious circum. stances. With the dispersion and massacres of his forces, a fourth of the insurgent army is destroyed, the division of 2,000 under Conde DE BOMFIM, CELESTINO, and the Conde DE MELLO ; and the division of 4,000 under the Conde DAS ANTAS, Dom JAIME, JOSE ESTEVAO, and the Conde DA Taira, alone remaining to obstruct the movements of the army commanded by SALDANHA and his subordinate generals. From these considerations it must be manifest that further demonstration is neces sary on the part of the citizens and peasantry, or the revolution must be prematurely closed. In the desertion, moreover, of the two regiments at Ikluivt we may recognise the impossibility of placing any reliance whatever upon the faith of the Portuguese soldiers. Those who can sympathise with an innocent people in their hours of unwilling tumult and desolation will sympathise with the inhabitants of Portugal in their present distress. They will discover in these insur rections the love of a nation for social discipline and liberal institutions, and not, as the Marquis DE SALDANHA has said, " the most unfounded and unheard-of rebellion which ever has existed." They will look with intense anxiety for the realisation of the best wishes of DAs ANTAS, namely, for the re establishment of order, and happiness, and freedom, and prosperity in a country so well calculated to be the scene of so many blessings. Queen MARIA might readily accomplish all these things by a generous concession to the demands of her loyal but abused people, by banishing a Ministry which has been introduced to the official apartments at Lisbon, from the effect of an illegal surprise, and the permission of a foreign fraud. The blood of her subjects would not then ensanguine that scroll of history upon which the events of her reign will be inscribed in per petuity. In the magnificent Casino of Cadiz RICIIARD COBDEN has again received the homage of the admi ration and respect of the enlightened Spaniards. We are especially rejoiced at these repeated indi ttions of the esteem with which the illustrious nglishman is regarded in the Peninsula.
