JUNE .29, 1846, The PEEL Ministry go out ostensibly on the Irish Coercion Bill: the question, however, which has really broken up the Cabinet is that of the Sugar Duties. There is every reason to believe that the ' liberal intentions of the chief have been thwarted by the interested opposition of certain of his colleagues, and the question of the Sugar Duties it will be the duty of the new Cabinet to meet at once. There must be no attempt at renewing the present duties THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVBNING, TUNE 29, 1546. " Pit_ resource 1 They have had their revenge. The nation will not be slow to measure out to them retri butive justice. A severe, yet righteous, sentence will be passed upon them when they shall be called upon to render an account of their stewardship to their several constituencies. It is remarkable that the an nouncement of the late decisive division was received by the House of Commons in dead silence. Like criminals, who have wrought themselves up to a pitch of malignity and committed a foul act, the pro tectionists were unable to utter a single cheer in the moment of their mock triumph. In the language of the bard, " Amen stuck in their throats." The House at large, by its marked silence, unequivocally indicated its sense of the ignominious conduct pursued by the protectionists. The dastardly attack which they made at the last moment upon the character of the Minister, in reference to his conduct towards Mr. CANNING, will not be easily forgotten. It elicited a triumphant refutation, which, to the dismay of Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, Mr. DISRAELI, and their chosen band, drew forth the warmest en comiums from Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Lord MOR- for one year to avoid grappling with it. Any such attempt would involve the ultimate destruction of the new Ministry. To be defeated on the question during the present session would not weaken the new Cabinet, but the attempt to avoid the discussion would be a most damaging confession of inherent weakness : besides, the question is one which will not admit of delay. The sugar crop in the West Indies has failed ; the attempt to procure a sufficient supply of this necessary article from countries in which free labour only is employed has failed also. Instead of a supply of 20,000 tons, as estimated from this source, the supply has only amounted to 3,864 tons, while the price to the con sumer has been materially increased. Now the pro ducers of corn are great consum ers of sugar, and having established free trade in corn it would be most unjust to the producers of that article to make them pay a protection price for that w hich Mr. CANNING e Once designated as " the c orn of the Tropics sugar. The same measure which has been meted out to the British must in justice be meted out to the colonial agriculturist. The West India planters have already received more, much more, than their due. Be it never forgotten that at the time when the Slavery Abolition Bill was introduced into the Rouse of Commons it was proposed to lend the planters 15,000,0001. They were well pleased with the proposition, and were doing their best to provide something like a tangible security to offer for the repayment of the loan, when the then Colonial Mi nister, Lord STANLEY, with that unreasoning reck lessness, that utter disregard of consequences which has ever been his peculiar characteri,tic, proposed to change the proposed loan of 15,000,0001. into an un conditional gift of 20,000,0001. The people had not then recovered from the intoxication of joy conse quent upon the passing of the Reform Bill, and no thing :but the circumstance of their being so over joyed as to render them incapable of cool reflection can account for the fact of Lord STANLEY being per mittod. to col ry out. Isla project. Let us beware lest we too be induced, by the joy and gratitude which . we feel for free trade in corn, to accept less than free trade in sugar. Should Lord JOHN RUSSELL be the new Minister, he is pledged to give us free trade in sugar without reference to the ques tion of free labour or of slave labour. Indeed it is so impossible practically to draw the distinction, and so transparently hypo critical to make the attempt while we admit slave labour cotton and slave labour coffee, that we do not imagine any statesman will be found willing to risk his reputation by broaching the argument. There are various other important economical and financial questions (such, for instance, as a revision of the whole of the Excise duties) which must, ere long, occupy the attention of the new Cabinet; but, like Mr. COBDEN, we have a preju dice in favour of doing one thing at a time. The question of questions at the present moment is sugar —that question must be settled, and settled at once, in the broadest sense of free trade. The new Cabinet must, in the settlement of the sugar question, follow the example Sir R. PEEL has set them in the settle ment of the corn question, and do away with all pro s.ection, or their doom is sealed. M.

BOLSA, JUNE, 22.—The Three per Cents. were done at 341 for cash, and 338 for paper ; the Five per Cents. at 204 for paper ; the Debt without Interest at 6i for cash ; the shares of the Bank of San Fernando at 250, and those of Isabel at 90. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The Chamber of Peers is rapidly disposing of the Bills sent up by the Deputies. They passed the Budget of Expenditure on Friday. In the course of the discus sion on the budget, the Minister of Marine stated, in answer to the Marquis DE BoisSY, that the con sideration of the PRITCHARD indemnity had been adjourned by the arbitrators for the production of cer tain documents. The bliniiter further stated, that it was the intention of the Government to make W..- heite a strong maritime position, and to concentrate their stores there in place of scattering them over various points. The Moniteur contains an ordonnance carrying into effect the modifications in the tariff agreed to by the Chambers. All these papers contain long articles on the Minis terial crisis in England. . PETIT, &C. Every species of rumour has been rife as to wha will be the new political arrangements. We are not among those who speculate upon the probability of a coalition between Sir R. PEEL and Lord J. RUSSELL. We have elsewhere stated that, notwithstanding the fall of the Premier has been accelerated by the desertion of a large body of his former political adherents, yet the difficulties by which he felt him self to be environed, in respect to an alteration of the sugar duties, identical in principle with what he has effected concerning those on corn, has com pleted his conviction of the necessity of resignation. The future Minister must deal promptly and boldly with the question of free trade in sugar. There must be no shilly-shallying ; the country will not brook any delay. If Lord Jonx assume the reins, he must form his Government upon a broad basis, with the "sine qua non" that Parliament shall not be asked to continue the present duties on sugar for a year, but shall, on the other hand, be invited to sweep away these obnoxious impediments to the legi timate flow of commerce, in the same masterly manner in which his great political rival has removed the duties upon corn. Should they take this straight forward and intelligible course, and find themselves foiled in the present House of Commons, they could fearlessly appeal to the country to secure an adequate support for effectuating this enlightened policy.

PEEL.—The account in the morning journals of the landing of Sir R. Peel at Gosport yes terday afternoon, from Osborne House, and arriving in town last evening, is altogether erroneous. The Right Hon. Baronet arrived at his residence in White hall-gardens, from Osborne House, shortly before three o'clock this afternoon. Immediately after his arrival the Right Hon. Baronet was waited on by Lord ABERDEEN and several other Cabinet Ministers. LORD JOHN RUSSELL.—A dispatch for his Lord ship, from Osborne House, Isle of Wight, was deli vered at his Lordship's residence, in Chesham• place, Belgrave-square, at an early hour this morning. SETTLEMENT OF TIIE OREGON QUESTION. Intelligence has been received, through the Royal Mail steam-ship Hibernia, that the protracted dis pute between Great Britain and the United States, with regard to the Oregon territory, is at length defi nitively settled ; and, although the text of the treaty yet remains unpublished, it is certain that the American Government has conceded in all important particulars to the requisitions of the mother country. '['he manner, however, in which these concessions have been made is, to designate it by the gentlest epithets, wonderfully bungling and amazingly un graceful. Nothing whatever can gloss over the rough circumstances of this acquiescence ; no sophistries, however adroit, can cajole the public into a belief that such a settlement as the present has not been wrung from the councils of the Presi• dency. Everything tends to demonstrate this fact, yet, notwithstanding these considerations, we are prepared to congratulate both empires upon having thus emerged, unscathed, from such a stormy ordeal to their international friendship. Besides which, we are prepared cordially to forget the tortuous policy which has so long retarded, and the half screened self-interest which has so sulkily granted, this final settlement of the quarrel—we are prepared to forget all this as cordially as we are also prepared to forget the various delinquencies and peccadilloes of the protectionists—so rejoiced are we in the acquisi tion of free trade, and in the peaceful division of the coveted but unproductive Oregon. Before, however, it is possible to discard the, recollections of whatever has been reprehensible in the American disputants, it becomes necessary, injustice and candour, to observe the manner in which their arguments have been nullified and a judicious compromise in all quarters effected. The circumstances which have conduced to the settlement of this obstinate disputation are simple enough ; and we conceive that the considera tions which led to that settlement are obvious enough in all conscience. having emphatically pledged himself for "the whole to 54 minutes 40 seconds," Mr. POLK was, placed in a remarkably invidious and embarrassing position by the ultimatum: dispatched from London on May 19, and submitted to the decision of the United States Government by the British Minister at Washington. As might have been presumed from the character of the President, he recoiled from the acceptance of such terms. He had committed him self too much, not merely by inuendo or insinuation, but by solemn announcements and official declara tions of principle, to descend individually from an extortionate to a rational and moderate behaviour. Nevertheless, something in the way of conciliation or acquiescence was necessary, as the Mexican warfare must have thoroughly demonstrated. What course does Mr. POLK adopt in this embarrassing dilemma ? Why he transfers the onus of the necessary conver sion to another branch of the Legislature, he for wards the obnoxious proposition to the Senate, inti mating that he leaves its adoption or rejection entirely in their hands, and by so doing cunningly removes from himself the responsibility of such a decision. In consequence of this transference of authority, the pro tocol of Mr. PAKENHAM is debated in the Senate during three succcessive sittings, and is ultimately adopted by a majority of 38 to 12—a majority altogether un expected. By this irrevocable declaration on the part of the Senate the Legislature of the United States was ipso facto empowered to conclude the proposed terms, and by electric telegraph from Philadelphia, intelligence was received at New York, as recently as Monday, the 15th inst.,thatthe Oregon treaty had been duly signed by Messrs. PAKENHAM and BUCHANAN, and would be forwarded to the Senate during the course of that forenoon. From the different organs of American opinion, it appears that universal satis faction is expressed throughout the States at this sudden, and almost unanimous vote, for the termination of the question. Nor can we fail to reciprocate in these gratulatory sentiments when we consider that the demands of our plenipotentiary, as he may be termed, are those which dictate the terms of the treaty, while the very moderation of those demands are guarantees of the general mode ration by which the Government of Great Britain is regulated. According to those terms, the boundary is henceforth to be the 49th parallel; we are to retain the navigation of the Columbia River until the expiration (in 1863) of the charter granted to the Hudson's Bay Company ; and in addition to this the whole of Vancouver's Island is given up to the possession of England. A reci• procal freedom of navigation through the straits of Fuca is granted to both powers, and compensation is not only to be made for all British settlements south of 49 degrees, but for all American property north of 49 degrees. Such are the leading features of this memorable treaty, and bearing all correlative matters in recollection, this treaty must c.eivethe and ought to afford unmitigated gratification to the people on both sides of the Atlantic.

We have just received later particulars of the hos tilitics carrying on between the British troops and the Kaffirs, together with the official dispatches of the en gagements of the 16th and 17th of April. The colony appears to be in a most unsatisfactory state, and requires immediate military reinforcements. We hasten to lay this additional information before our readers without further remark. (From the Second Supplement to the South-African Com mercial Advertiser of April 29, 1846.) The frontier post arrived in town this afternoon (Thurs day, April 30), at a quarter past two o'clock. The latest intelligence from the Graham's Town Journal of the 25th, given below, is in substance that up to the `22(1 no action had taken place between the troops and the Kaffirs subsequent to the 18th, but considerable bodies of the enemy had entered the colony, particularly towards Lower Albany or in fr( nt of Graham's Town, in parties of from 100 to 200, and had in some instances been checked, but in others suc cessful in carrying off cattle. The frontier is evidently in most imminent danger, and the Governor has proclaimed martial law to be in force over the whole colony : PROCLAMATION BY lIIS EXCELLENCY LIEUTENANT-GENERAL SIR PEREGRINE MAITLAND, Knight Commander ot the Most Honourable Military Order ot the Bath, of the Royal Military Order of William of the Netherlands, and of the Imperial Order of St. Waldimir of Russia, Colonel of her Majesty's 17th Regiment of Foot, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's Castle, Town, and Settlement of the Cape of Good Hope, in South Africa, and of the Territories and Dependencies thereof; and Ordinary, and Vice-Admiral of the same, Command ing the Forces, &c. &c. Whereas, for the purpose of protecting the colony against the Kaffir tribes, now in open hostility against the Govern ment and inhabitants thereof, and of inflicting such deserved chastisement on those tribes, as may tend to deliver the co lony from their unprovoked aggressions and outrages, it is expedient that- the force at the disposal of the Government be assisted and increased by the services and enrolment of the inhabitants of the colony capable of bearing arms for military operations, both offensive and defensive : I do here by proclaim and direct, that from and after the proniu.gr, lion of these presents, martial law shall be in three through • out the whole colony, for all cases and in all matters con nected with the assembling, embodying, conducting, and supplying her Majesty's forces, and the inhabitants who shall be enrolled and embodied for the purposes above recited. Given under my hand and seal, at Fort Beaufort, this 22d day of April, in the year of our Lord, 1846. (Signed) I'. MAITLAND. By command of his Excellency, (Signed) BROWNLOW MAITLAND. Private Secretary, In the absence of the Secretary to the Governor. The general belief is, that, within almost an hour of the publication of these remarks, the walls of both Houses of Parliament will be filled to hear the official announcement of the resigna tion of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Ministry. The occa sion is momentous. The pages of history will be searched in vain for a similar political sunset. A whole nation are intently gazing upon it. The lu minary descends to the horizon, surrounded by every attribute that can add brilliancy to its exit. A bene ficent course has been run, and the solemnity of the eclipse will create a sensation among grateful millions. The dark clouds that have hastened to shroud the closing scene, have, by the contrast afforded, only added to its gorgeousness. The brilliant corusca tions of light emitted by the setting orb, in its sudden descent, have pierced the feeble shadows of circum jacent enemies, and contributed a lustrous grandeur, whilst it vanishes from the sphere in which it has so nobly moved. Sir R. PEEL will no doubt take occasion this evening to review his governance of the greatest empire, ancient or modern, in the known world, since his accession to power in 1841. The summation of his labours will renovate him with feelings beyond all price. The gratifying close of the Chinese war, the honourable termination of that of Affghanistan, the brilliant victories recently achieved in India, the preservation of peace, compatibly with the full main tenance of the national honour, in other parts of the world, where concord has at times been seriously threatened ; the admirable restoration of our finances, the efficient state of the navy, thediminution of crime in England and Scotland, the prosperity of our agricultural, commercial, and manufacturing in terests—each and all of these are points of political triumph at the command of Sir R. PEEL, and may fairly constitute the ingredients of his address to the House of Commons on rising to communicate the re signation of his trust as Prime Minister of England. But, above all, may he dwell with pride upon the crowning acts of his Administration, by which he has broken down the barriers of monopoly, and I opened wide the ports of these kingdoms to the bounties of nature, in exchange for our unrivalled proiuctions of art. The author of all this good resigns the helm of Government —a man who, in the language of Mr. COBDEN (a shrewd observer and faithful expositor of the feelings of millions of our countrymen), " car ries with him, in retiring from office, the esteem and gratitude of a larger number of the population of this empire, and especially of the working classes, for hav ing successfully conducted one of the most magni ficent reforms, than ever followed any Minister that was ever hurled from power." To be deprived of a statesman to whom such credit is due, and by whom such great things have been acc omplished, Mr is. CORDED( himself parti a source of unfeigned regret. In this fee lin g cipated whilst giving his conscientious vote ag on ain of st the second reading of the Bill for the Protecti Life in.lreland. Unmitigated rancour drove a large portion of the protectionists to stultify themselves by voting differently upon the second reading to what they had upon the first. They did so, avowedly, upon the charge that they had been be trayed by the Minister. For ourselves we rejoice, for reasons previously given, that this measure has not met with the sanction of the Legislature. At the same time we give full credit to Sir R. PEEL, and believe that he had most reluctantly persuaded him self of the necessity of his measure for the repression of crime in Ireland. But far otherwise were the motives of the protectionists. They have committed suicide. They knew the Premier was too high minded to hold office " woulder knew that other opportunities present themselves, isssiependent of the Coercion Bi ll, to p lace the Go `moment in a minority ; yet such was the blindn fts of their rage, such their fell and inve terate l ustba, that the very first opportunity w as seized up e ,,, them unhesitatingly to vote black It wh u i s unconsts vas te t . tution a l powers in the i dlehands bombast to allege they Would wasnot trust of Sir R.

The monopolists failed if they h a d suc their charge of treachery , in which, wally against the Duke ceeded, it must have to ld e q of WELLINGTON and other men of public celebrity. Again, if they believed i n the truth of the indictment they preferred, thsy should, to have been consistent, have voted against the first stage of the Protection Bill, inasmuch as the treachery of the Government was as manifest at that time as they conceived it to be during the discussion upon the second reading. The fact is, they hoped the Lords would alter the Corn Bill, ad thus, that either a dissolution would have been forced, or a change of Ministers effected ; but when they found themselves disappointed in this respect, and that the Lords were for maintain ing the Bill in its original integrity, they determined to "eat their leek," and, at all hazards, to vote directly in the teeth of their former opinions upon the Irish measure, in order that the hated, but dreaded, Mi. ulster, should be peremptorily ejected from power. Prince WALDEMAR of Prussia passed through Vienna on the 16th, eit route for Berlin. The British Ambas sador invested the Prince with the insignia of the British Order of the Bath. Queen ADELAIDE arrived at Frankfort on the 2311 of June. Madrid papers to the 22d have been received. The rat ifi ca ti o ns of the treaty between Spain and the re. public of Venezuela were exchanged on that day.

The Cotton market at Liverpool, on Saturday, was dull, and the sales were only about 3,000 bales, of which 200 were for export. There was no change of importadce to notice, but the market was favourable for purchasers. , Shares were much the same. There are a great number of arrivals in the City this morning from most parts of the world. But before referring to the advices, it may be as well to mention that the mer cantile interests are looking with deep anxiety for the Minis terial explanations before quitting office, if such should prove to be the case, and to ascertain who are to take the reins of Government for the future. Up to the present hour there is not any thing stated that can be relied upon with respect to the probable members of the new Cabinet. Upon all hands it appears to be considered that Lord John Russell will be the new Premier. However, merchants care little who takes the lead, provided the regular course of commer cial operations is not interfered with. The private advices received from the Cape of Good Hope do not supply, by any means so full an account of the warlike movements against the rebellious natives as that contained in the published accounts, and it is not necessary, therefore, to refer further to the subject here, as the details will be found in another column of. The Sun. As to business details, in the letters that have come to hand to-day there are but very few comments, all parties being in a state of excitement on the subject of the pending hostilities. Accounts from Van Diemen's Land and South Australia to late dates have been received this morning. Both colonies appear to be in a state of improvement. From Quebec, there is a statement of the arrivals of emi grants in the week ending the 6th instant. There had landed from England 684, from Ireland 1,425, from Scotland 7, total 2,036 ; all in the steerage. Previously reported 9,409 ; total this season, 11,445. By far the most Important point in the advices to-day is that from the United States, representing that the Oregon dispute was ou the point of adjustment, if not actually settled at Washington, when the Hibernia steamer left Boston. But for the state of the Ministry at present, no ques tion can exist but that the Public Securities would have improved fully to the extent of % per cent.

SATURDAY MORNING, TEN O'CLOCK, An express just come from Fort Peddie, brings us the fu lowing important intelligence : " All is hare excitement ; Kaffirs in large bodies around the T'Shinsbie tribes. For the last few nights we have been under arms, while the women and children have been placed for security in the barracks. Yesterday the Fingoes and the Newton Dale Settlement bad sharp fighting with Pato's Kaffirs, and which continued the whole day. Towards after• noon firing was heard from Fort Peddie, and soon the war cry was heard in all directions. Captain APLean (resident agent) immediately sent Mr. Shepstone (Kaffir interpreter) forward to ascertain the true state of affairs. He was ac companied by Mr. Tainton an d Mr. S. Lucas. By the tim e they had reached the scene of conflict th e Kaffirs had o gmari.nsedhetphsetodhaey,ahadndhis weretw or three gallant associates, hurrying off the Fingoe cattle. in stantly rallied the Fingoes, and then made a dash on the Kaffirs to retake the cattle. At this crisis Mr. Shepstone and his companions displayed equal decision and bravery, for making a dash to the rear of the Kaffirs he threw them r e in cattle, and in seeing them again g a few shots he succeeded in in t into recapturing in the possession of the Fing oes. At this time a detachment confusion, the and whole a after e h r f t fi h of the 7th D. G. came up, and the Artillery, but too late to take a part in the affair. rani, a Kaffir of Pato's tribe (very strongly suspected of being the murderer of the Rev. E. Scholtz), came to Captain M`LPan and asked for protection on the Fingoo Settlement. Captain M'Lean remarked, " I look on all Kaffirs with susp , i , cion at this moment—prove the sincerity of your intentions. To this Fani made no reply, except that he wished to belong to the settlement. Captain SPLean rejoined, "Go and tell Pato that I must see him be !bre noon to- morrow as a friend, ar.d that if he does not come I wJI consider him an enemy ; I want to inform him of his daring attack on the settlement this day, and moreover, I wish him to be informed. that I have ordered all spies to be at once shot." Two large bodies of Kaffirs werewithiu two miles of Fort Peddie last night. Another hand writes :—" We are in a state of great anxiety, surrounded by Kaffirs. We have not had our clothes off since Monday, and have only had two or three hours sleep each night. * 4 e We are afraid that Pato and Umhala will both join the war party, arid will probably proceed into the colony.' SATURDAY, Noon.—A report just brought in that a body of about 200 Kaffirs had made their appearance at the foot of the hills below Mr. Fuller's, about three miles south of town. A party of mounted Burghers hurrietr:y collecting to move upon that point. Reported that the country along the whole of the Kerreiga and Kowis Rivers, was lit up last night by farm-houses fired by the ruthless enemy. HALF-PAST TWELVE O'CLOCK, P.M.—Dispatches from the troops in tront have this moment come in, brought by a large party of mounted men and ten of thel C. M. Rifles. We are happy to announce that the troops have met with no reverse—not having been engaged with the enemy since the 18th inst. All is reported as quiet in front up to the 21st inst., and no idea seems to be entertained of the rush of the enemy upon the colony. The mail to Fort Beaufort was seized by the Kaffirs, the bearers of it severely wounded, the mail bag cut to pieces, and their contents scattered to the winds. A Cape Mounted Rifleman, carrying an express, has also been shot by the enemy. Double Drift and Hermanus Kraal (Fort Brown) have been attacked by the enemy in great force but who was repulsed. Everything around these posts have been swept off. The post at Lieuw Fontein, about ten miles south of Fort Beaufort, had also been attacked, and with the loss on our side of three men, one of whom is named Clarke, formerly the manager of Mr. Howse's establishment. Mr. Jay's inn, on the Fort Beau• tort-road, has been fired, and reduced to a heap of ruins. An account before us states that Botha's Post has also been attacked, but that the defence was so vigorous and so effec tive, that the dead bodies of the enemy actually dammed up the river. During Thursday night heavy firing was heard at Fort Beaufort, in the direction of the Blinkwater Post, and as the mail was closing, a reinforcement of sixty mounted burghers were just starting for that point. Captain Size, commanding the burgher force from Uiten hage, came in, the bearer of the Government dispatches, and proceeds express to Uitenhage, to bring up the whole force of that district. Martial law is proclaimed by his Excel lency the Governor throughout the colony, and we trust that every district will now do its duty. The station at Mr. Pohl's farm was attacked last night, the enemy succeeded in capturing about 40 head of cattle. The marauders were, however, followed into the thick bush by a party beaded by Mr. J. Pohl, and who succeeded in a most gallant manner in re-taking the cattle and in killing two Kaffirs and wounding a third. The Kaffirs are said to be getting short of gunpowder, and one main okect of their rush into the colony is said to be to obtain a supply. A heavy attack, it is conjectured, will be made upon the magazines at Graham's Town. A detachment of about 60 men of the 90th Regiment, ar rived in Graham's Town this morning. The arrival of the 45th Regiment at the Cape is, it is said, expected daily. The latest communication from Block Drift, dated the 22d inst., states that his Excellency the Governor was about to start via" Fort Beaufort for Graham's Town. We repeat, succour is required immediately from all the western districts, and we trust that every disposable man will move hither without a moment's delay. The post was detained 27 hours at Graham's Town by order of the Government. It experienced no obstruction on the way. CAPE TOWN, FIVE MINUTES TO FOUR O'CLOCK.

Sir,—l have the honour to inclose two reports from Major Gibson, 7th Dragoon Guards, who was left in charge of the camp on the 16th inst. during our operations. Upon the receipt of Major Gibson's first report, I imme diately proceeded with 200 infantry, under Major Campbell; the Cape Mounted Rifles, under Major Armstrong, and one gun, under Lieut. Hill, Royal Artillery, to Major Gibson's support. On arriving at the Keiskama Drift, about two miles from the encampment, I found the brigade waggons of the let division in the act of passing the drift. Remaining there fore with 60 men, Cape Mounted Rifles, and the gun, to de fend the drift, I dispatched Major Campbell with 175 men of the 91st Regiment to the assistance of Major Gibson, but I regret to say, before Major Campbell had joined, the enemy were in possession of the waggon oxen, which rendered the removal of the waggons impracticable, although the timely reinforcement enabled Major Gibson to secure and bring off his ammunition waggons. I propose moving upon Block Drift this morning. At dusk last evening the lea der and .dnrti gun ammunition waggons ra n awavili overtho ed to ef leave it. I o b n u e sh o , f and abandoned the oxen.

It was shorly after reported to me that some 10 re Kaffirs had made a dash upon some cattle that had been no feeding a short distance down the river side. I immediately I, ordered out the few duty men of the Cape Corps, together > l. ;e, with Captain Bambrick's troop of the 7th Dragoon Guards, et, and marched them to the top of the hill, overlooking San- F dilla's Drift.

His sergeant came to ask me if he was to go RI ra far, when I said to him that Captain Bambrick was by no hi means to proceed to any distance. He unfortunately, n however, led the troops, of which by my order he 311 had taken a division, into a very thick bush, and I a. deeply deplore to say, that just as he was returning out of it, , o after a shower of balls had been discharged at his party, he nr 1 ' was unfortunately killed.

Captain Rawatorne, seeing that the Kaffirs were so daring, and that ve ~t hey were approaching him in large numbers, and f earin g that he might be surrounded, retired slowly to Burnshill. Seeing a large n'ass of Kaffirs congregated in the same direction the 91st had left, I caused two shells to be ex ploded, which fell and burst exactly among them. I then returned home. a. This night, about seven o'clock, and just as I had dimi- a * nished the size of my camp, we were attacked by a consider- ea able body of Kaffirs, whom we beat off in about six or seven re minutes—l am sorry to say with the loss of four men killed of ie. Li, the 91st, and four men wounded. a The Kaffirs appeared to be in great numbers around us, and t 1 I consider it to be very dangerous our attempting to move re with so large an amount of ammunition and baggage in the a present excited state of this neighbourhood, especially as we 4 are so completely surrounded by them, as we observe their 6 fires and hear their cries in every direction. I would, there- 0 fore, most respectfully request you will join me here , or send 4 t me a strong reinforcement, as you are aware of the immense ire quantity of baggage and stores I have under my charge.

Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you, that in compliance with your instructions, I moved from Burnshill yesterday morning, at about half-past ten o'clock. I formed an advance guard, consisting of some men of the Cape Corps, one division of the 7th Dragoon Guards, under the command of Lieutenant Butler of that regiment ; one company of the 91st Regiment, under the command of Captain Wright of that regiment; and a gun under Lieut. Gregory, of the Royal Artillery. The baggage waggons I placed between the advance 'and rear guard, and they were 125 in number, including ammunition waggons. The rear-guard was composed of the remaining division of the troop of the 7th D. G., Capt. Rawstorne's com pany of the 91st Regiment; one gun of the Royal Artillery, which I placed under Lieutenant Stokes, of the Royal En gineers. From the number of the waggons, and the neces sity of giving adequate support to the guns, I was obliged to make this disposition of a front and rear guard, and --___ _ was unable to detach any men along the line of waggons. Ditto, New .. .. .. In about an hour after the advar.ce guard had started, the Great Western - rear guard (under my immediate command) moved cff its ground, having the ammunition waggons of my division immediately in front of it. After proceeding for about one mile, I observed a stoppage in the line of waggons, and hearing several shots proceeding from a gully by the side of Lo p n i ciTn - and Bright.— the road, Lieutenant Stokes marched the gun u p to a p oint Ditto ditto Fifths • • • • some 300 yards in advance, which he raked with shell.

'A short time afterwards I saw a .. company of the 91st Regiment advanc in g , and kee p in g u p _ , a heavy fire in skirmishing order, along th e b row of the 9 3 / .. 24 hill, to which the road diverged at about two miles and a ... half from Burnshill.

The past week's arrivals of English Wheat, though by no means large, were somewhat on the increase, and of very superior quality. Of all other kinds of Grain of home produce the receipts were on a very limited scale. From Ireland and Scotlama next to nothing came to hand ; but from abroad very large supplies of Wheat, Oats, and Flour were received. Fresh-up, a moderate supply of Wheat was received from Essex, Kent, and Cambridgeshire, and the stands exhibited a fair number of samples. The new Corn-law being now in operation, awl the importers of Foreign busy in clearing their Grain, the demand for Wheat of home produce was excessively dull, at a decline in the quota tions obtained on Monday last of from FOUR to FIVE suiwartus per quarter, and at which a clearance was not effected. The ac couets which have come to hand from all parts of the country rela tive to the growing crops are very favourable. The show of foreign Wheat was not to say large, yet the millers purchased that article with extreme caution. However, we can nonce no actual al teration in value, although prices were with difficulty supported. The best malting Barley was quite as dear, but all other kinds had a downward tendency. The quantity on offer was comparatively small. Superfine white Malt was in fair request, and last week's currencieS were well supported. In all other kinds very few sale s took place. The show of English, Irish, and Scotch Oats was limited, but that of foreign was on the increase. The Oat trade was very dull, at a de cline of from ls to 2s per quarter. Although very few Beans were on offer, the demand for them was heavy at late rates. In Peas next to nothing was doing, at last week's quotations. The Flour trade was extremely dull, and to se,l lower prices must have been accepted.

Slice Monday last the arrivals of foreign stock into London have been moderately extensive—viz., 22 Oxen from Prussia, 20 ditto from Hamburgh, 120 Cows, 50 Oxen, 150 Lambs, and 8 Calves from Hol land, comparatively speaking, in good condition. At Hull nearly 400 head of Beasts and Sheep have come to hand from Rotterdam, and at Plymcuth 40 Oxen from Spain. We had on offer about 250 foreign Beasts. 300 ditto Sheep, 80 ditto Lambs, and 6 ditto Calves, with which the trade was taerably steady, at fully previous quo - tations. Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrival of Beaswere bt modeate, though fully adequate to meet the want! of the buyers, u whose r attendance was rather nutnerous. On the whole, the Beef trade was steady, at an advance on last week's cur rencies of 2d per Sibs—the primest Scots producing 4s per Blbs—and a good clearance was effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received about 1,400 Scots, hombreds, and shotit horns ; from the western and midland counties, 500 Herefords runts, Devons, &c. ; irom other parts of England, 400 of ran ous kinds; and from Scotland , 120 horned and polled Scots. The numbers of Sheer , were somewhat less that those exhibited on this day se'nnight, yet they were seasonably large. Prime old. Downs moved off steadily at full prices, but all other kinds were heavy, at barely stationary prices. Lambs, the supply of which was , moderately extensive, were on slow sale, at late rates. Calves and Pno met u very dull inquiry, and, in some instances, the prices had a downward tendency. Per Bibs. to sink the offal. a. C. a.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN: Stu,—At the Great Western Railway meeting on TuestlaY last, I observe that the following conversation is reported lo have taken place :—" Mr. Smithers said he saw la a pamphlet published under the 710711 de guerre of ' £ s. d.,' a statement that this Company leased the South Wales line. Was it so ?—The Chairman said it was not." As this answer is likely to lead to a mise.cmception of the true state of the case, on the part both of the sharehold erS of the Great Western and those of the South Wales Railway', and as it is of much importance that both of these parties should know how they rosily stand in relation to each other , I beg to subjoin the following abstract of clauses 55 and 56 of 8 and 9 Victoria, cap. 196 (South Wales Railway Act) :-- Clause 55—" That it shall be lawful for the (South Wales) Company, by or with the consent of three-fifths of the votes of the proprietors who may be present at a general meeting of the Company, specially convened for the, purpose, to Le tt r lease the (South W ales) ri oatnnodtlhebearrs; andf hes, o any part of them, to the Great Western Company, for such term of years, at such rents, and upon such conditions as shall be mutually agreed upon."

The example of the League was very generally foe lowed, flags and banners being seen waving from the will ; dows or roofs ofnumerous shops, warehouses, and public an 'l private establishments, both in the towns of Manchester And Salford.

Although the political views of the Hon.
