" We, the undersigned, tperchants and other inhabi tants of Cape Town, seise the earliest opportunity of presenting to you, Sir, our hearty congratulations on the safe return of yourself and your excellent lady to this colony, where your past services, and her lady ship's kind attention, have been, and ever will be, re membered with gratit u d e an d a ffection. "It is a source of pride and gratification to the colonists to possess the high privilege of having the hero of Aliwal for their governor, and to enjoy the advantage of Sir flurry Smith's talents, promptitude, and experience in the management of their border policy, on the retirement of the distinguished and indefatigable officer whom he has been appointed to succeed. neighbours a mor e f orm id a bl e ene my " Although, Sir, y ou w ill find our barbarous than when you taught them at onc e t o f ear an d r e spect you, yet we confidently rely up on th e a biliti es of your bead and heart for enabling y ou even t ua lly to combine the permanent peace and safety of the frontier, with the progressive moral and social improvement of the na tive tribes of Southern Africa.

News from the head-quarters' camp, near the Kye, is up to the lath instant. The troops had not crossed the river, but had captured about 150 head of cattle and killed four of the enemy, by whom some 30 or 40 had been killed to prevent their being captured. A pontoon bridge was in course of construction. The Gaika Lafira were very troublesome in their forays upon the located Kafirs (Slambles) about King William's Town, from whom they were continually stealing cattle. WILSON'S SONGS OF SCOTLAND. Last night, at the Music Hall, an immense assem blage congregated to hear Wilson's " Hour wi' Burns," and many parties were obliged to take seats on the orchestra. " Scotia's Minstrel" was in full force. We never heard him in finer voice, nor did he ever draw so strongly on the feelings of his audience. The selection was chiefly from the songs of Burns, and it was pleasing to witness two of the sons of the immortal bard listening to the strains of him who is acknowledged all over the world as the " lyrical poet of nature." It would be idle now to particularise the different songs which Wilson gives in his own inimitable style, but we cannot pass over the opening song of the evening, 1" There was a lad was born in Lyle," which at once warmed the hearts of his audience. "John Anderson, my Jo," was sung with such touching tenderness that Mr. Wilson was obliged to give it a second time. " The De'il 's awa wi' the Exciseman" set the audience in hearty laughter, and sing it again he was compelled to do. The song of the night, however, was that splendidly written effusion, which Burns penned a short time before he terminated his earthly career—a song which in its character and its probable effects may be likened to the most powerful song ever written by Dibdin, " Does haughty Gaul invasion threat ?" Wilson gave this song with great effect; indeed, the audience seemed roused en masse, and the excitement was so great that feet and hands joined together to have the song once more. We have often chronicled the agreeable character of Mr. Wilson's entertainments. His style of entertainment was introduced by him seven years since, and the attraction remains undi minished. We need add no more. GRAND OPERA.—THEATIIB ROYAL, DRIIRT•LANE. —The following noble and distinguished co mp an y honoured the representations last week :—His Highness the Conde de Monteniolin and suite, her Grace the Duchess Dowager of Bedford, the Marquis of Clanri carde, the Viscount and Viscountess Dillon, the Vis count and Tiscountess Maidstone, Lord Ward, Lord Auckland, Lord Enfield and family, Lord Willoughby, Lord and Lady Holland, Lady Russell, Lady Lawley, Lady Macfarlane, Lady Caroline Macfarlane, Lady Paulett, Lady Wood, Lady Ponsonby, Lady Neville, Sir Charles and Lady de Vaux, Sir Hesketh and Lady Fleetwood, Sir H.

HARMONIC HALL, SOUTHWARK•DRIDGR-ROAD.— Recently several benefits have been taken at the above favourite place of entertainment in furtherance of the objects of various local philanthropic associations, in affording relief to the deserving poor during the winter months, and it is satisfactory to add that, aided by the liberality of Mr. R. Preece, the greatest advantages have followed. Yesterday a new pantdmine was produced, and by the success of its first representation a long run may fairly be predicted. Among other novelties to be produced on the 3d proximo (the benefit night of Mr. Pearce), are two entirely new national melodies, both the words and the music of which haves been written by an old Lieutenant of her Majesty's ship Victory, who has served under the immortal Nelson. DEATH OP LIEUTIINANT-GENREAL THOMAS. — We have to record the demise of Lieutenant-General Thomas—one of the surviving officers of the first American war.

WINDSOR, MONDAY...—. The Queen and Prince Albert walked this morning on the Eastern Terrace and slopes. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, took walking and pony exercise to-day in the Little Park. Her Royal Highness the Princess Helena was also taken for an airing. Prince Albert enjoyed the sport of shooting this forenoon. His Royal Highness was attended by Sir Edward Bowater, General Wemysa, General Bowles, and Colonel Bourerie. Their Majesties the King and Queen of the Bel gians, attended by the Lady in Waiting on the Queen, the Gentleman in Waiting on the King, his Excellency Monsieur Yen de Weycr (Belgian Minis ter), the Earl of Morton, Lord in Waiting to her Majesty, and Lord George Lennox, Lord in Waiting to Prince Albert, arrived at the Castle this afternoon, on a visit to the Queen. The august party travelled from town to the Slough station by a special train, on the Great Western Railway, and proceeded from th e s t at i on to t h e C ast l e in the Queen's carriages and four, The royal dinner party this evening included their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Lady in Waiting on the Queen of the Belgians, the Gentleman in Waiting on the King of the Belgians, his Excellency Monsieur Van de Weyer, and Lord George Lennox, in attendance on the King. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and his Serene Highness Prince Fre derick of Hesse, left Kew yesterday morning, to honour the Marquis of Exeter with a visit. Mr. Wickham, Chairman of the Stamps and Taxes, and Mr. Pressly, Secretary to the Board, had an in terview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yester day. Mr. Brotherton had also an interview yester day with the Right Hon. Baronet, at his official residence in Downing-street. Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office, for the Governor of Ceylon. THE KING AND QUEEN OF THE BELGIANS. Their Majesties and suite arrived at the Brick layers' Arms station of the South-Eastern Railway at about half-past four o'clock yesterday afternoon, by a special train, which performed the distance from Dover to London in two hours, in the face of a fall of snow. The Earl of Morton, Lord George Lennox, and his Excellency the Belgian Minister, awaited their Majesties, and on landing conducted them to the railway station, where they were received by Mr. M'Gregor, the chairman of the South-Eastern Rail way; Mr. M. L. Pritchard, the deputy chairman; the Honourable Mr. Byng, one of the board; and Mr. Walter, the chief superintendent of the railway. Their Majesties being anxious to reach Windsor, their stay in Dover was only for a few minutes. The royal party crossed from Calais in her Ma jesty's steamer Garland, Captain Smithett. The harbour presented a very gay appearance as she entered; and on her arriving alongside the pier the royal salute from the heights and the military recep tion added much to the spirit of the landing, which was witnessed by a large concourse of visitors. Their Majesties left the Bricklayers' Arms terminus for Windsor immediately on the train's arrival, but not without expressing their appreciation of the ra pidity and ease with which the royal train had tra velled. The engine was driven by Mr. William lernihough, assistant locomotive superintendent. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YXSTERDAY. Very little business was done on the Derby, nor, except in two instances, were the movements of any importance. It will be seen that in one instance— Keraun—the betting showed a marked improvement; and in the other—Besborough—a decline; 4,000 to 100 was laid agst the latter in the early part of the day, and 1,000 to 30 at a later period, 35 to 1 being, to the best of our judgment, the " market" price at the close—two points more than were taken last week. The Chester Cup took a more copious range than of late, and elicited a decidedly favourable feeling towards Keleshe, Jonathan Wild, Cracow, Giselle, and Rufus; several others were backed at the odds returned, but not to any ansoant. No one would advance upon 20 to not, agat Blaze. 600 to 400 was laid on the field agst twenty-three ; 100 on the field agat thirty (the fielders in a majority), and even on the field agst thirty-five, bar Blaze.

E_R T S ' BRUSSELS, HAMBURGH , A ND h i e )A C P ha E m ß la S e . r in the sitting BRUSSELS, to-day terminated its discussion of the budget of justice. The Sections have terminated the exami nation of the project of law relative to the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation concluded between Bel gium and the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. It appears from a report received by the Govern ment from the Belgian Legation at Rio de Janeiro, that under the regime established by the Imperial decree of the Ist of October, 1847, Belgian vessels shall enjoy nautical privileges at Brazil, whether they come directly from Belgium or from other countries. CUXHAVEN, JAN. 20.—There is much ice to-day in the channel. AALBORG, JAN. 12.—The Fyord is increasingly filled with ice ; at Aggersund, it is said that the ice is now crossed by foot passengers. Yesterday many wild geese appeared here, which is regarded as a prognostic of a severe winter. MASIIFIM, JAN. 16.—The Rhine has begun to freeze, and is covered with ice both above and below our city. Last night a brilliant auroea borealis was observed here. NuREMItURG JAN. 18.—The prices o f corn are everywhere declining, but the orders from the great markets on the Rhine are kept back, as speculators still hope to obtain better prices for their stores. This fall in our market will also tell upon the markets of South Bavaria. Wheat was sold at 17 to 18 florins; barley, 11 florins ; oats, 6 florins. WURTEMBURG, JANUARY 19.—We are happy to state that his Majesty, although not able to accord an entire remission of pardon to the insurrectionists in May last, has been g • raciously pleased to grant pardon to several individuals,the circum stances of whose cases rendered this step admissible. They were also relieved from the very considerable costs attending their case. VIENNA, JAN. 12.—The march of the troops to Lombardy has been accelerated. The Archduke Charles Ferdinand has set off for Milan, and will speedily_ be followed by his brother William. Sr. YBTERSBURGII, JAN. 13. The suspicions respecting the arrest of the Frankfort Consul, J. C. Plitt, are unhappily confirmed. This gentleman, who has been generally esteemed for his integrity, has unfortunately made an ill use of his position as director of several companies, and abused the trust placed in him by his colleagues. This has come to light during late transactions in the shares of the Salamander Fire Insurance Company, of which the Consul was the chief director, in co- operation with Generals A. and P., as also Mr. C. It appears that he embezzled money received for shares from abroad, , that he sold, by promise, shares which did not exist, that he transferred shares which did not belong to him, and that he made private use of the revenue of the company, in consequence of which there is a deficit of 600,000 silver roubles. His arrest took place at the special command of his Majesty the Em peror. A meeting of the shareholders is fixed for the 16th, the result of which is expected with great anxiety. It appears that Mr. W., stockbroker, lately deceased, was much involved in the matter. BERLIN, JAN. 21.—T0-day, about one o'clock, the residence of the Privy Councillor, Count Von Radern, took fire. Happily, it was got under about eight o'clock. ANTWERP, JAN. 19.—From the 10th to the 15th January there entered into the port of Antwerp two vessels laden in part with provisions. The importa tions made were—wheat, 312,000 kil.; rice, 12,400 kil. • total, 324,400 kil. The : market this day has presented nothing remark able. At a public sale this afternoon, 400 sacks of Piedmont rice sold for consumption at from 19 to 20 for 50 kil. BRUSSRLS JAN. 19.—Her Majesty the Queen arrived here last night from Paris. The King has received a letter of condolence on the death of her Imperial Majesty the Archduchess Maria Louisa, from the Emperor of Austria, King of Hun-. gary and Bohemia. The Chamber of Representatives have resumed their labours. The sitting yesterday was devoted to the discussion of the budget of justice. Mimes, JAN. 16.—This forenoon the sitting of the Council of the State took place. His Majesty the King presided, and M. Von Strausz, the newly ap pointed Councillor of State, was introduced, and con firmed. We regret to state that Prince Von Aettingen- Wallerstein is again very unwell since yesterday. The precaution that the Commission for the Liqui dations of the National Debt should obtain additional means by an arrosement appears likely to be carried into effect very soon. The receipts up to the 12th January amount to 000,000 fls., therefore nearly the eleventh part of the whole sum required. The arrosement already works most favourably upon the Three-and a-Ilalf per Cent. Bonds, which during the last eight days have risen two per cent On the 15th the receipts amounted to above a mil- lion. At our markets to-day the prices of provisions fell considerably; mean price of wheat, 11.20 55 ; barley, 11.12 26 ; oats, f 1.5 4e ; 11,211 bushels were sold out of 14,021. VIENNA.—In consequence of the illness of Count Von Bombelle, under whose charge the remains of the late Archtlur hess Maria Louisa are to be con veyed to Vienna, a delay has been occasioned, and the body has not yet arrived here. His Imperial High ness the Archduke Palatine is now perfectly conva lescent, to the great joy of the nation, but he will not be permitted to leave his room for some time. His Imperial Highness the Archduke John arrived here from Steyormark on the 7th instant, and will remain here for some time. BERLIN, JAN. 17.—This day, at ten o'clock, the sitting of the committee of the delegates of the States met in the Council Chamber of the Police. M. Von Bodelschwingh, accompanied by the other Ministers of State, repaired to the Chamber. He informed the assembly that his Majesty had appointed his Excel lency Prince Solins-Hohensolins Lich Marahal of the Diet, and Colonel IVon Rochon as his deputy, and that his Majesty had further been pleased to appoint M. Von Bodelschwingh High Commissioner, and that as such he was delegated to open this meeting in the name of his Majesty. He reminded them that the main object of their assembling was the final reac tion of the projected penal code, and especially for comparing the views and wishes of the whole nation, as expressed at the different provincial diets, respecting the former project. The examination of the pro ject of this code was most important, especially as it was intended to remove the anomaly, so long and justly felt, respecting the inequality of punishment of one and the same crime in various parts of the kingdom ; because now the same deed is punished as a serious transgression in one province, while in another it remains wholly unpunished. The new code of law is intended to remove it.—Brussels Papers, Jan. 19. BELGIAN FUNDS.—Bsosszi.s, JAN. 21. Actual Debt, 234 per Cent •• •• •......... Rothschild's Loan, Five per Cent ........

MALTA, JAN. 12.—The India mail has just ar• rived by the Peninsular and Oriental Compante steamer Indus. Since my last but little has occurred worthy al note. It may not be uninteresting to the navigator, with reference to the late wreck of the Oriental schooner, on the coast of Sicily, to remark, that from the trip made by the Peninsular a n d Oriental Comysny's steamer Ariel, from Malta to Alexandria and back, in 14 out of 16 voyages a strong southerly set- has been observed, and upon one occasion, though steer. ing precisely the same course, the set to the north. ward was as much as ten miles. During the last two voyages this set has not been discovered, and, as ths care given to the steering of this ship is proverbial. her officers being all skilful navigators, three corn• passes being used, and corrected by amplitudes and the azimuth, the assertion merits some attention. Captain Brown, of the English brig Flash, which arrived here on the 6th instant, reports that on the preceding day, when between Pantell ar i a an d G ozo, he fell in with four frigates, one of which bore a coin. modore's pendant, and on hoisting his colours he showed Austrian colours. A brig afterwards joined the division, fired a salute, and having communicat, e d. steered for Malta Harbour, where she now is. The only Austrian vessel which arrived here on the sth was the Pansalinos, from Marseilles, and she'was probably the bearer of dispatches to the Austrian Consul here from the Commodore. Rumour is of course busy as to the destination of the Flotilla, and under the circunistances, the Admiral felt justified in sending a boat to examine her. From what I can learn, she seems not to have been armed, though pierced to carry five guns, nor has the mystery been yet satisfactorily cleared up. Her Majesty's 97th Regiment, reserve battalion, will embark in the early part of the ensuing week for the West Indies, in the hired transports Blenheim and Maria Somes, No. 26 and No. 24. The regiment has been relieved by Her Majesty's 69th Regiment, reserve battalion, which has entered on garrison dut7. The American steam-frigate Princeton arrived m the Great Harbour on the 7th inst., from Athens; last from Milo. Her Majesty's ship Vengeance left port on the Bth inst. She has on board six months' provisions, and as much more as she could carry for the fleet, if it should be in want of any. By the last accounts re ceived, the English squadron was in the Gulf ,f Palma (Majorca), but would, it was thought, pm. ceed to Cagliari, to which place:the Vengeance is bound. This port of destination is, however, a mere matter of supposition, the movements of the ships being rigorously kept secret from the public. The foremast of her Majesty's ship Vanguard was surveyed on the 10th instant by three captains, four masters, four carpenters, the master attendant, and master shipwright. A ft er a species of court-martial, which lasted several hours, the mast has stood the ordeal, and will not be removed. The Tartarus steamer, previous to leaving the har bour for the Levant, went out for trial of her engines on Wednesday. Her Captain, Sir Godfrey Webster, had invited a large party on the occasion, and much amusement was derived ; the Vanguard's Weippert was in attendance, and played several airs. :Cho weather was very fine, and the sea smooth. Her Majesty's steamer Sidon will leave port on the 20th instant, for Alexandria, where she will remain to await the arrival of Lord Harding. from India. His Excellency the Governor and Mrs. More O'Ferral have issued cards of invitation to their first ball for the 19th instant. DISTRIBUTION OP THE MEDITBRRANZAR SQUADRON.

THE 11w:sm.—Our attention has been recalled to the paragraphs which have appeared in this portion of our paper respecting Lieutenant Cawley, late of the 'manna, and we are now satisfied that no ships of war were assembled at Port Royal in consequence of any charge against that officer.

JAN. 24.—The Meander, 44, Capt. the Hon. H. Keppel, arrived at Spithead this morning from the eastward, and saluted the Commander-in- Chief. She is a very handsome looking frigate, and has made a most extraordinarily quick passage, hav ing left Sheerness yesterday only at soon, and anchored at this roadstead at nine o'clock this morn ing. She went ten to eleven knots during the pas sage, although under very adverse circumstances, the rigging and sails being covered with hoar-frost and snow. She is fully manned, with a finer crew, as a body, than any other ship in the navy possesses. Captain Keppel has been compelled to refuse numbers of first class seamen, such has been the avidity to sail with this gallant and popular officer. This, we be lieve, is the Meander's first commission. She is an improvement upon the old 42's and 46's, by Sep pings, and clearly works well. She draws 17 feet aft as she now sits upon the water, w ith all her stores and munitions of war aboard. The new screw launch with which she has been supplied, is a f a ilure. In the first place the boat has been built s even tons weight, instead of one half that weight as the extreme ; the consequence is, she draws t oo much water for shallow rivers such as sh e is intended to navi g ate. It is Captain Keppel's intention, however, to con. 4 _ struet a suitable boat for the-horse power machi when tried, made about five km) b ut when towi ng nery when be arrives out. _ The laun ch ti now on board, a boat she went no faster than a *culler could pull. It is considered that teak is too heavy, while fir would have been more suitable and quite as service ' able as the boat is coppe red high up. The Raja of Sarawak 's berth is on the main deck, occupying the spac e of two guns, and those of the Lieutenant- Governor of Labuan are on the same deck. Mrs. Napier and family also go out in the Meander, and supernumerary officers for the China squadron. The Powerful, 84, advanced ship, is ordered to be brought down from the ordinary, and rigged. It is expected she will be the ordinary guard instead of the Illustrious, 72, and kept upon the war establishment similar to the sea-going ordinary guard-ships at the other ports. The Duck and Lively lighters sailed with stores for Devonport yesterday. The Confiance steam-tug, Mr. John Jagoe, master commanding (acting), arrived this morning from Devonport, with marines belonging to this division, and seamen gunners for the Excellent, late serving in her Majesty's ship Albion , 90, Captain Fremantle, recently paid off at that port.

In reply to a question from a Hon. Proprietor, The SECRETARY stated that the Company was now free from all bona fide liabilities. Mr. PARRY seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The Chairman and A. R. Hutchinson wore re elected as directors, and the former having returned thanks, the meeting separated. MUSIC. THE MUSICAL TREASURY. The new volume of the Mw.ical Treasury is em hellished with a full-length portrait of Jenny Lind, in the character of Amine. In its musical contents are many of the favourite songs of that celebrated chanteuse, among others, her admired Swedish melodies, with the original words in Swedish, and also with English songs adapted to the music, for the benefit of persons unacquainted with the Swedish language. Many of the songs in Robert le Diable and La Figlia del Reggimento are also to be found in the leenvury, among others, the famous "Rataplan." The remaining pieces contained in this volume are of very diversified character, varying from "grave to gay, from lively to severe." Poems by Mrs. Crawford, Charles Mackay, Colley Grattan, and others, set to music by Henry Russell ; that terrible, thrilling poem, the " Erl King," by Scott and Goethe ; sacred music, old ballads, humorous pieces, scotch songs, and vocal and instrumental music of every variety are to be met with here. We transcribe the words of one of the songs, for the benefit of such of our readers as may not meet with the Musical Treasury : " LITTLE FOOLS AND GREAT ONES. " BY CHARES MACKAY. " When at the social board you sit And pass around the wine, Remember though abuse is vile, That nee may be divine ; That Heav'n in kindness gave the grape To cheer both great and small; — That little fools will drink too much, But great ones not at all. " And when in youth's too fleeting hours You roam the earth alone, And have not sought some loving heart That you may make your own, Remember woman's priceless worth, And think when pleasures pall, That little fools will love too much, And great ones not at all. " And if a friend deceived you once Absolve poor human kind, — Nor rail against your fellow-men, With malice in your mind ; But, in your daily intercourse, Remember, lest you fall, That little fools confide too much, And great ones not at all. " In work or pleasure, love or drink, Your rule be still the same— Your work not toil, your pleasures pure, Your love a steady flame ; Your drink not mad'ning, but to cheer, So shall your bliss not pall, For little fools enjoy too much, But great ones not at all." DR. JOHNSON'S OPINION or A CoNan D'ELIRII.— " Perhaps," said a gentleman, talking to Dr. Jonson on Church preferments, " after all, a conga d' elire has not the force of a positive command, but implies only a strong recommendation." " Very true, Sir," says John son, but such a strong recommendation as if I should throw you out of a three-pair of stairs window, and recommend 3 ou to fall softly to the ground." Stephen Ford, the old man who was committed for trial on a charge of being concerned in the will forgery case which excited so much interest in Bath a few months ago, died, after a lingering illness from age and infirmity, in the Bath gaol, on Sunday night.—Bath Chronicle. liliCAnE.—Up to this time no official communica tion has been received as to whether M'Cabe will be discharge 3 from custody or not. We (Doncaster Ga zette) may, however, observe, that in addition to the declarations Reid has made relative to the innocence of M'Cabe, he recently made another statement in a letter to the Rev. Edward O'Neil, of Dewsbury, to the effect that no other person whatever was concerned in the murder. --- RELEASE OP THE Boy JONES ?ROM HER MAJESTY'S SERVICE.—It will bo remembered that the boy Jones, who on different oocasions found his way into Bucking. ham Palace, and remained there a considerable time, was disposed of as a sailor in one of her Majesty's: ships. It appears that his conduct has been fa vourably noticed, and that he has behaved himself with great propriety. Some time since his father made an application to the Lords of the Admiralty that the boy might be allowed to return home. This request was acceded to, and he was discharged from the ship Harlevin, lying at Smyrna, and furnished with a free passage home. He arrived in England a few days ago, and has now returned to his father, who resides in Westminster. A Six-Tut CRADLE.—It has generally been thought a great piece of good fortu ne to be b o rn w i t h a s il ver spoon in one's mouth ; but it appears from ancient records of Li verpoo l t h at a ch i ld of a Mayor of Liver pool born during his mayor a lty, i s en titl e d t o a s till greater piece of go o d f ortune — a s il ver cra dl e . Th e present mayor has got an accession to his family, and hints that he insists on hi s r i g h ts. W e wish he may get them.--Idsysrpool Times. IMPORTANT FROM THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. (From the Herald.) Cape of Good Hope papers to the 26th of Novem ber have reached us, which announce the melancholy deaths of five British officers, who fell into the hands of the Kafirs, by whom they were most cruelly butchered and mutilated. From the few particulars which hare come to hand, we learn that these unfor tunate gentlemen left the camp at head-quarters on the Komga (we must say imprudently, having no attendants, and merely carrying with them a double barrelled gun each), in order to gratify their curio sity with a magnificent view of the surrounding country, which was to be obtained from a lofty rock or mountain, some miles distant. Night approached, and this little band had not re turned to the camp. Doubt and anxiety immediately arose in the minds of their brother officers, and several of them went in search of their missing comrades, when, at break of day they discovered their bodies, brutally hacked and disfigured. Two Kafirs lay dead at a short distance from them. The struggle had no doubt been severe ; but overwhelm ing numbers, it was believed, had alone completed the frightful tragedy. The names of the unfortunate sufferers are—Captain W. L. Y. Baker, Lieutenant Faunt, and Ensign Burnop, of the 73d Regiment; Dr. N. S. Campbell, Surgeon of that corps; and Assistant-Surgeon Loch, of the 7th Dragoon Guards; who were buried in one grave, amidst the tears and griefs of all assembled on that mournful occasion. Great preparations were making at Cape Town for the reception of the new Governor, Sir Harry smith, whose arrival was daily expected The houses of the inhabitants were to be generally illuminated, snot every mark of respect would be paid to this distin guished hero upon his assuming the reins of govern ment. Her Majesty's troop-ship Apollo, Commander Radcliffe, which left Portsmouth on Sept. 8, for tl% Mauritius, with the second battalion of the sth Fusi liers on board, arrived in Simon's Bay on the 16th Nov. And on the 20th of the same month, the Elizabeth Ainslie, barque, T. C. Cahu, from Calcutta to London, put into the bay in consequence of the majority of the crew having refused to work the ship any longer. (From the Graham's Town Journal, Nov. 20.) TUNSDAY.—The following distressing information has been received from Waterloo Bay : _ " Yesterday (Monday) evening, tyro men of the 91st namely, Sergeant D. M'Kay, No. 2, Company, and Private M'Donald went out unarmed, leading a horse to cut some forage at the general's old camp. While thus employed two Kafirs, armed with guns, sprung upon them. M'Kay immediately closed with one of them, but before he could wrench the gun from him it went off, the ball entering his abdomen. He succeeded, however, in taking the gun, and floor ing the Kafir with the butt•end of it. The other Kafir then fired but missed. M'Kay then handed the gun to M'Donald, telling him to defend himself, and he would gallop in and send him assistance. On making this report a party was sent out but were too late to save M'Donald ; the body being pierced through the chest, and through the abdomen in two places. M'Kay's wound is dangerous, the ball having entered on the left side, and passed towards the spine, but it is not thought that the intestine is laid open. He is moat carefully attended to by Dr. Munro." DEATH OF FIVE BRITISH OFFICERS. WEDNESDAY.—lnformation has just reached town from Kafirland of the death by the hands of the Ks-• firs of fire British officers, namely :—Capt. W. L. Y. Baker, Lieut. Faunt, and Ensign Burnop, of the 73d Regiment, Dr. N. S. Campbell, Surgeon of that corps, and Assistant• Surgeon Loch, of the 7th Dra goon Guards. From the various accounts which have come in of this distressing affair, it appeared that the head quarter's camp is on the Komga, about ten miles west the Kye, Colonel Somerset being in advance and occupying a position commanding the Kye drift. About seven miles from the general's camp there is a conspicuous rock or mountain, having a most splen did view of the country, and to gratify their curiosity these officers proceeded thither on Saturday, without any escort or attendant, merely taking each a double barrelled gun. They were six in number, but Lieut. Littlehales, 73, labouring under a severe cold, returned after riding about five miles. The party reached the summit of the above rock without any obstruction, it would appear; but it is also clear that their move ments must have been narrowly watched by the the crafty savage. No apprehension was felt until Saturday evening, and finding they had not re turned by eight o'clock, a number of officers started in quest of the missing party. The night having far advanced when they reached the fatal spot, and deem ing it imprudent to ascend the rock, they fired several rounds, but hearing no response they returned to the camp, and about midnight a strong party, con sisting of four companies of the 73d, were ordered to renew the search. Shortly after daylight the objects of their search were discovered—dead, stripped, and savagely muti lated. From appearances it is conjectured that the unfortunate deceased must have been attacked on passing a certain valley, but that, on endeavouring to escape, their retreat had been completely cut off, and they became easy victims to overwhelming num bers. The spectacle presented was frightful. A letter before us states : " Mr. Burnop had three balls in his head, Cap tain Baker was stabbed and mutilated in several places ; poor Dr. Campbell must have suffered greatly, the flesh being actually pared from his body ; the naked body of Lieutenant Vaunt had been apparently flogged with chains—their eyes had been scooped out —their teeth extracted—and the head of Assistant- Surgeon Loch had been severed from the body and carried away. The latter, it is suppopd, was dragged to some little distance from his companions, to a smooth flat stone and there beheaded. All were stripped, and their remains left on the spots where they fell. The dead bodies of two Rafts lay at no great distance, killed, as is assumed, by these officers at the first moment of attack. The poor fellows were buried on Sunday in one grave, and there was not a dry eye present from the General downwards?' On Sunday morning Colonel Somerset rode over to the General's camp, where he was in time to wit ness the return of the detachment with the remains of these unfortunate officers, and it was at once de termined to scour the country around the scene of this awful tragedy. Orders were immediately , dispatched to Colonel Somerset's camp for detach ments, consisting of 130 Cape Mounted Riflemen, under Captain Hare, 300 of Captain Hogg's levy, and 100 Boers, to move towards the scene of this mas saere—an order which was so promptly obeyed that the whole force reached a point a few miles from the General's camp the same night. Here they were joined by 200 of the 73d, a troop of the 7th Dragoon Guards under Sir Harry Darrel, and some Kat River Hottentots, the whole under the guidance of Lieut. Bisset. The General, Sir George Berkeley, with his staff, joined just before daylight. The force was shortly afterwards divided ; 100 men of the 73d, under Major Pickney, and 100 Provisional., under Captain Hogg, moving across the right shoulder of the mountain, while 100 men of the 73d under Cap tain Brown, with 160 of Hogg's levy, and 150 Kat River levy, ascended its left shoulder. In the meantime, Colonel Somerset with the Boers worked to the extreme right, endeavouring to effect the passage of the river below' the bend, but which was found to be impracticable, and he then returned to the top of the ridge, while the general ascended the face of the mountain, taking up his position on the summit, so as to command a fine and distinct view of all the operations below. From this eleva tion many hundreds of cattle and Kafirs were seen, the latter having taken up a most favourable posi tion in a large bend of the river, forming a penin sula, only asscessible by a narrow rocky ridge, to reach which it was necessary to clamber down some shelv ing rocks, so precipitous as to be quite impractica ble for horsemen. At this point it was seen that the enemy was determined to make a stand ; on which the General ordered Lieutenant M'Donald, with a party of the Cape Corps, to more rapidly down the face of the mountain, and, if possible, force the po sition. This detachment was the first that reached the point, but was soon joined by Captains Hogg and Owen's Provisional., followed by two companies of the 73d, under Captain Brown, who came up in fine skirmishing order, and held the pass while the Pro visionals and Cape Corps were scouring the peninsula, and skirmishing with the enemy. The Kafirs showed great d tuo e s t i e ty rmi ef na e t u i r on tr , eo b p u s t , w no h t e hi ru ng ehe c d ou fe ld erl r e e e s e i l s the y t over e w v h e e r r y e r d e i r ffi s c e u e l n ty . , r a i nd ,he resultsdrove of theenem y the en be g a g e m fo e r e h n t them were 23 Kairs killed, and at least double that number wounded ; while the only casualties on our side were one sergeant of the Provisismal killed, and one troop horse.
