Italian patriotism is every day becoming more re solute in its exactions from Austria. Liberal ideas have penetrated to all quarters of the Peninsula. In the Pontifical states they have been cons ecrated by the Political inno v ati on s of the Sovereign PONTIFF. In Tuscany they ha ve b een allied to the policy of LE°PciLDI and ad m i tte d to t h e l eg i s l a ti v e counsels of Florence. CHARLES ALBERT has infused them into the fundamental principles of the constitution of Piedmont. They have inspired the bosoms of the Neapolitans and Sicilians with a degree of enthu siasm, such as will not brook the repressive influences and sinister machinations of a Bourbon and an Ab solutist. They have ar ouse d the populatio n even o f the island of Sardinia; they have affected even t with an intense b u t latent sympathhe hearts of the Modenese ; they have so touched even the intelligence of the successor of M ARIA LOUISA, that there is now every rational likelihood of the addition to the Italian league of Parma, Pi a . coma, and Guastalla. Nor are these the only evidences of the regenerative spirit by which the Italian multitude is actuated. A thirst for reform has manifested itself in the principal cities of Vene tian-Lombardy, as was sufficiently shown by us the THE SUN, LONDON, TE URSDAY EVEN ING,_ JANUARY 2 0, 1848. other evening in recounting the massacre of the Milanese by the soldiers of METTER/mu. Since that first ebullition, since the blood of its citizens was washed from the flagstones of the capital, since the dead were carried to the charnel-house and the wounded to the hospitals—the fever of the Lombards has daily and even hourly increased. Military demonstra tions have failed to awe the community into obedience. Threatening proclamations have been equally ineffec tual. And the reason of this is, t hat ol in ethte church no h f a Liberty is ever ringing—not , a s of , turrets, but in the hearts of Italy. F resh possessions, are not only anticipated i n the Aust rian g Bt u h i n a n a r d y 9 collision appears to have taken p. they have already transpliraecie . on A th sa e n between the garrison of Pavia and the students of the University. Numbers are already crossing the fron tiers of Sardinia, and enrolling themselves in the battalions of Turin. The more adventur ous among the Italian subjects of FERDINAND are swelling the ranks of that patriotic army which, under the banners of Ceamo ALBERTO will (GoD willing !) achieve the independence of the Peninsula. Circumstances are occurring, indeed, every moment, in Milan and elsewhere throughout Lombardy, such as tend to confirm the inhabitants in their sentiments of devotion to the cause of their social and political emancipation. Among the most striking of these have been the voluntary disband ment of the Noble . Guard, instituted in 1833, on the coronation of the reigning EMPEROR at Milan, and the funeral rites performed with extraordinary solemnity in the church of La Gran Madre de Dio, at Turin, by way of commemoration for the unfortunate patriots who have been recently sacrificed by the mercena ries of Venetian-Lombardy. The consequence of these remarkable movements in northern Italy can only be dimly conjectured from the sullen determi nation with whichithey have been accomplished. We ntusctarry and watch—with how much solicitude it were superfluous to declare. The tide, the turning point, the crisis in the affairs of the population of Lombardy, has arrived. Whether the chains of the KAISER can be effectually destroyed the strong hands, and the brave hearts, and the resolute wills of the people have yet to demonstrate. Before them are the armaments of FERDINAND ready to bristle over the top of the Carpathian mountains—at their back, and side by side with them, are their liberated brothers of the League. Let the men of Venetian Lombardy fraternise in act and thought with the Piedmontese, with the Lucchese, with the Tuscans, with the Modenese, with the peo ple of Parma and its dependencies, with their brethren in the states of the Church—let them remember that beyond Savoy are the valiant confederates of Swit zerland, and that beyond Sardinia and beyond the Belearic islands, and past the Straits of Gibraltar, there is the most venerable of the European homes of freedom— let them consider the integrity of their motives and the eternal vitality of the principles they have originated—and then gal lantly, hopefully, determinately—On wards ! One reflection ought to be enough of itself to render their progress irresistible, namely, that by geographical position they are in the vanguard of Italian emanci pation, and that in maintaining their own rights they are maintaining the aggregate rights of the whole of the Roman peninsula. That thought should be the Casarem vehi3, to carry them triumphantly through the storms of the present epoch. Elsewhere the work of Italian reform is proceeding to admiration. Not only is the new ruler of Parma evincing a diFposition to join the leaders of the League in their struggle for the development of their o common nationality, but !the hereditary Prince has been nominated the commander-in-chief of the troops of the principality in the place of the Austrian BOMRELLES. At Rome the benefits ensured by the recent reform in the Pontifical councils are already beginning to he partially manifested. The cata logue of the new Ministers was given in detail in our impression of yesterday evening, and is not only satisfactory in as far as it still secures the Presidency of Cardinal FERRETTI, but in the selection of men so enterprizing as Cardinal Massrsio, and so profound in learning as that proverb of erudition and monster of languages, Cardinal MEZZOFANTI. Under such aupices the great labours of advancement can not but be conducted to a felicitous consummation. During the past week, in noticing an admirable article contained in the Westminster Review, for the present quarter, we alluded to the probable conse quences of an " appreciation " of the value of money on the one hand, and a "depreciation" on the other, and pointed out that practically they mean either in justice to " the few," or injustice to " the many." That view of the subject had been fully recognised, even before the passing of the fatal Act for the re • sumption of cash payments, which has led to such repeated fluctuations in the value of money, and occasioned a greater degree of misery and distress during a period of universal peace and tranquillity than existed when we were subjected to the horrors of war, and a greater amount of money was annually expended in carrying on hostilities, and subsidizing the greater portion of the Continent of Europe, than has recently been paid for the bread-stuffs imported into the country since the first appearance of the mysterious visitation that destroyed the only food of a large portion of the inhabitants of the British Isles. The Right Hon. WILLIAM HusiossoN, in speaking of the effects pro duced on the industrious classes by such an apprecia tion or depreciation, said—" When prices are con tinually rising, all the active classes are benefited, and annuitants alone are placed in a worse position ; but it is better that any loss should fall on them than on the productive classes, the effect of a rise in price on them would, perhaps, force them to greater eco nomy, and at most abridge their comforts—but while they are reduced to this, other classes are benefited. But the effect of a falling market on the industry of a country is very different. If the value of a man's stock were only reduced one-tenth, perhaps that one tenth might amount to the whole of his own capital— the nine-tenths might be borrowed. The fall natu rally alarms the creditor, who, by urging his demand, forces sales, by which the difficulty is increased. In such a state of things it is impossible that the revenue, depending as it does so much on the active classes, should not fail." Such was the opinion of one of the most remarkable men of modern days, the statesman who introduced to Parliament the free-trade doctrines originally propounded by ADAM SMITH, and which have at length been recognised, except in the most important point of all—the circulation of the country —by the great majority of the Legislature. The question, then, is one of the most vital importance to every one anxious to earn his livelihood by his own exertions, and actuated by a laudable ambition to improve his own position in so ciety, to give his children advantages which he did not himself possess, and to en able them to take their stations among the magnates of the land. In earlier days it was the policy of the nation to encourage such transitions. The son of the tradesman became the merchant or manufacturer, and his offspring were ranked among the landed proprietors and aristocracy of the kingdom. We were then as the mightiest general of modern times, in derision styled us "a nation of shopkeepers;" but it was the power deri ve d f rom our commerce , an d th e active energy o f our people, wh i ch ena b led us to arrest his progre ss , to oppose hi s arms , an d fi na lly t o over come and h ur l from his exalted station the conqueror of Contin en t a l Europe. Had we then desired to pre serve "the integrity the standard" at any cost, and to sacrifice at it s s h r i ne the so readily offered up—the liberties—as aPP.a we have since and prosperity of the people, a descendant re la ti ve orls' of NAPOLEON would, in all human probabili ty , still occupy the thrones of France and Italy, and the B uonaparte dy nasty would be recognized in Spain, Holland, Naples, and Westphalia. But we were not then sobigot e d to ab stract principles. Gold was not so slavishly worshipped. It was not elevated to the despotism that it has since assumed. In place of being a tyrannical master, it was a most useful servant. By means of an incon vertible currency we were enabled to make those gigantic exertions which terminated in the triumph of the British arms. Had we then insisted that nothing but specie, or the larger denomination of notes (and those based upon bullion lying uselessly piled up in coffers of the Bank), should be permitted to circulate, we should have humbled ourselves before and yielded an ch be • o ence to the dictates of France. Lord AsnatiaTori (no mean authority ou such subjects) has told us i n his evidence before the Committee on Agriculture, in 1836, that " but for the Bank restriction the war must have come to an end, that we should have been forced to make peace in 1797." And he also stated, " that we could not otherwise have carried it on upon the same scale, or anything like the same scale of expenditure or exertion." Need we say how utterly useless an attempt at resistance would have been if conducted with inferior:energy, or by a smaller body of troops ? It was the unflinching determination which we manifested on that occasion that alone en abled us to maintain the contest ; the slightest relax ation must have been followed by a defeat, and Britain might now be known as a French province, or, perhaps, dignified witk the title of " Insular France." Why, then, should we deliberately relin quish in times of peace those doctrines and principles which were proved to be BO efficacious in more trying periods P Is it that national prosperity and universal industry are to be averted ? Is it that the wealthier classes, from whom our legislators are chiefly selected, desire to maintain the exclusiveness of their position, and to prevent any intrusion on their ranks? If such be their object they have cer tainly succeeded, for there is now but little prospect of any person acquiring wealth by trade or com merce, and the most unremitting industry will scarcely enable those who have no hereditary fortunes or accumulated capital to do more. than provide for the daily wants of their &taiga ; and it will be utterly useless to attempt to put anything by for a rainy day, or to form the nucleusrof- a future fortune. General HARRtiON, formerly President of the United States, well" * expo - ser this consequence of a metallic currency upon the condition-and character of a nation. In his inaugural address as President, in 1840, he said, " The idea of making it (the currency) exclusively metallic, however well intended, appears to me to be fraught with more fatal consequences than any other scheme (having no re lation to the rights of citizens) that has ever been devised. If any single scheme could produce the effect of arresting at once that mutation of condition by which thousands of our fellow-citizens, by their industry.and enterprize, are raised to the possession of wealth, that is one. If there is one measure better calculated than another to produce that state of things so much deprecated by all true republicans, by which the rich are daily adding to their hoards, and the poor sinking into penury, it is an exclusively me tallic currency —or, if there is a process by which the character of the country for generosity, and nobleness, and feeling, may be destroyed by the great increase and necessary toleration of usury, it is an exclusive metallic currency." Are these remarks only appli cable to our transatlantic brethren P Do they not apply with equal force to ourselves, and to our mixed currency of bullion, and notes convertible on demand, the issue of which his wholly regu lated by the amount of bullion in the Bank cellars, and which no possible combination of circumstances can alter or vary without a violation of the law ? Let our Legislators maturely consider these observations, and let the several constituencies insist upon their representatives directing their immediate attention to this momentous question. The new Duke of PARMA, the Duke of MoDENA, and the Emperor of AUSTRIA, have signed a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, as well as a customs league, intended to counterbalance the Italian league. Treviso is in full insurrection, and Bergamo and Brescia greatly agitated. Pontremoli was surrendered to the Duke of MO DENA on the 3d inst. Considerable dissatisfaction has been excited in Rome, in consequence of the total exclusiou of lay men from the new Cabinet, and the first act of the Ministry has tended rather to aggravate than to allay it. They have published a circular, signed by Cardi nal FERUETTI, establishing a more rigorous censorship of the press than had before existed, and reserving to the Bishops alone the right of exercising the censor ship on works of morality and religion. The Prussian State Gazette has the following : "The Emperor of Austria has made known in an autograph letter that the present state of the Lombar do-Venetian kingdom might be considered as revolu tionary, and that consequently the authorities were ordered to take the necessary measures for the re establishment of tranquillity and public order in the country." Madrid journals of the 13th have arrived. On that day General NARYAEZ presented to the Congress a Bill authorising the Government to re ceive the taxes, and intimated that he should con sider the rejection of it as tantamount to a vote of want of confidence, and in such case should retire. General ESPARTERO, on the 13th, appeared in the Senate, and took the oaths and his seat. There was a crowded attendance, and the appearance of ESPAR.• TERO was the signal for the most enthusiastic cheer ing. When the sitting was over, NARYARZ went up to him, greeted him cordially, and remained convers ing with him for some time. The streets were crowded ; there were no shouts, but every one present took off his hat, and saluted ESPART&RO as he passed. MADRID BOLA, JAN. 13.—Threes, 26i 27 ; Fives, 15i. Exchange on London, 48 20. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Journal des DebaU announces that the KING will on Thurday receive the grand deputation of the Peers appointed to present to his MAJESTY the Ad dress in answer to the Speech from the Throne. The Address, as we announced yesterday, was agreed to by the Chamber, but not without a divi sion. The numbers were—for the Address, 144 ; against it, 23. In the course of the discussion, N.I. DUCHATEL, the Minister of the Interior, made a declaration on the part of the Government of its de termined opposition to all electoral reform, and that not only for the present, but for the future also—in short no reform measure can be carried so long as the present Ministry shall remain in office. This decla ration was received with murmurs of disapprobation even in the Chamber of Peers. The Guizot Ministry is throwing off all disguises, and appearing in its true character, a parti-pretre Government, a Villele Ministry without the Villele financial talent. As a proof we may mention the fulsome eulogiums lavished by the Journal des Debats on the Count DE MONTALEMBERT, the acknowledged leader of the Jesuit party lu Frauee. The debate on the Address in the Chamber of Deputies was to have commenced yesterday. MM. BERTILLE, DARBLAY, DESMOUSEAUX DB GIRRE, and Ducos, have inscribed their names to speak against the Address generally, and M. DUTERGIER nn HAIIRANNA to speak against the paragraph relating to the Reform banquets. The Constitutionnel says that on Monday M. Durex laid on the table of the Chamber of Deputies the following proposition : " Article proposed to be substituted for the 178th article of the Criminal Code on the Corruption of Public Functionaries. " Every public functionary who shall be Convicted of having trafficked with his place in asking for ,or ac cepting gifts or promises for the purpose of inducing him to tender his resignation, shall be condemned, — first, to civil degradation ; secondly, to a fine double the amount of the price received, or equal to the price stipulated for, where such price shall not%a►e been paid ; and, thirdly, to an imprisonment of not less than three months, nor more than five years. The same punishments shall be inflicted on all persons who shall knowingly have taken part in such nego tiation, whether on their own account, or as agents on the account of others. M. LEGRAND, who has accepted the office of Vice- President of the Board of Commerce, has been re elected Deputy of Mortain by a majority of 215. M. BILLAULT has given notice of the following amendment, which he intends to propose to the fourth paragraph of the Address :—" We join in your MAJESTY'S prayer, but at the same time ask, above all things, of your Government to unceasingly endeavour to develop the morality of the people, and no longer expose itself to be. weakened by fatal examples." M. DE BUSSIERES is appointed Ambassador to Naples, and M. DE RAYNEVAL, at present the Fr enc h C harg6 d ' Affaires in Russia, will be appointed Ambassador to Greece. The Marquis of DALMATIA will not go to Russia. In reply to a question from Count D'ALTON SREE in the Chamber of Peers, M. DucuA.Tur.. said, that he had ordered the Prefect of Police, to prevent the holding of the Reform banquet intended to hay° in Paris, on Wednesday, under a police- T een held l aw o f . 1790. •ntemplated political meetings. It con " That law," ar g ues the Constitutionne4; "by urnal assemblies in streets, markets, n te o m m p uets (says the same j ou rnal) rests &c. The right to fairs,leaattnhesedatcnrGocest: ,cafes, churches, of 183] and 1834, w hi c h apply to periodical meeti n g i ' and societies, leavin g un touched clearly lyelecotnortahlebalanwq's accidental meetings for defined purposes." The Siècle says, ii.Thk; counter. revolution has thrown off the mask ; the policy of the Government enters upon a . new phase of resistance to the moa legitimate wishes of the country. Yesterday the Minister said 'No Reform;' to day, he says 'No more manifestations, save according to my good will and pleasure;' such declaration ought to make bound with delight the passions ennemies so imprudently pointed at, for it gives their acknowledged force a new action upon the public mind. How much must they feel afflicted who, like us, had hoped that France' would at length find repose and liberty in the fah' exercise of her constitution ?" Haying shown that the law of 1790 _ is inapplicable, this journal proceeds :-" The question must be dis cussed in another place : it will be brought before the tribunals. We are exercising rights that belong to us, and which do not depend on your toleration. But it cannot be concealed that the Ministry has fatally rushed Into the road of provocations. One would be inclined to say that it felt itself in the alternative of either compromising the Chambers and the Throne, or of falling by its own misdeeds, ac cording. to 111. DE BOISSY'S expression, into the prisoner's dock. There are decisive movements in the history of all nations when truth flashes into the darkest intrigues. We are in one of these mo ments, and the country ought to take warning." PARIS BOURSE, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 19.-A con siderable degree of gloom still continues to hang over the Bourse, the general opinion being, that notwith standing the contradiction given to the unfavourable reports of his MAJESTY'S health, it is in anything but a satisfactory state. Threes opened at about the closing prices of yesterday, and, after for a short time making a slight movement upwards, again gave way to close at 73f. 400. Fives have also closed lower than yesterday ; after having been done at 115 f. 80c., they left off heavy at 115 f. 50c. New Loan was last called at 74f. 50c. The market closed as follows :-Three per Cents. for cash, 73f. 45c. ; for account, 73f. 40c. ; Five per Cents. for cash, 115 f. 45c. ; for account, 115 f. 50c.; New Loan, 741. 75c.; for ac count, 74f. 50c. ; Bank of France shares, 3,180 f.; Neapolitan, ex div., 99f. 25c.; Spanish Threes, not quoted ; Fives, 251.

By the arrival of the Glen Huntly, from the Cape of Good Hope, we learn that Colonel Somerset, with a detachment of troops, had made a forced march against the chief Pato, and defeated him with con siderable loss. Sandilla is a prisoner in Graham's Town, where Umkie, a neutral, bad also arrived. Macomo has taken refuge in Port Elizabeth. The two latter are now our friends, living on our bounty. The Lieutenant-Governor, Sir Henry Young, quitted Graham's Town on the 3d November, to return to England, there being no easier method of getting to Adelaide from the Cape. He had received a valedictory address from the inhabitants of Gra ham's Town, and it appears by the paper before us that no public officer in the discharge of official duties ever pursued a more steady and direct course, or displayed more tact, zeal, and ability than this officer, He now takes his departure from this province with the best wishes and high respect of the inhabitants at large. Her Majesty's ship Athol left Algoa Bay for the Mauritius and Ceylon, with troops, on the 28th of October. determined t o push on and carry out to the letter the instruction roe,eived by him from the Commander of the Forces. It is affirmed' that immense droves of cattle are shelteredfrom mthe en s i e nt e h e broken country, a t no grea t di s tance of this encounter ; and it is supposed that it was to covet ' these that this att em pt t o a rrest the march of the troo k 7s was determined on. SATURDAY.—To-day Sandilla's two councillors, Vena and Hlahla, arrived in Graham's Town, having been sent for, at the especial request of the chief; made to Mr. Commissim ier Calderwood. The former of these men bears the character of being one of the shrewdest Kafirs on the border, and also better dis posed than the great majority of his countrymen. The Zuid Afrikaan reports the following raved in Simon's Bay, Nov. 10, Hon. Company's I Mail Steamer Progresso, Lieutenant Romeiro, from Mozambique ' October 19, to Simon's Bay, with stores saved from the wreck of her Majesty's sloop Snake, stranded within a few miles of Mozambique. Passengers--Dr. Maranda, Portuguese army ; Lieut. Webber; and forty-two officers and men of her Majesty's sloop Soake. The remainder of the crew have been conveyed to the Mauritius in a French ship." CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor s.lt to-day at eleven o'clock, and proceeded with the hearing of appeal motions. •LCfERATT V. THE NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY COAMANY. This case came before the Court upon an appeal motion from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram, setting aside an award, on the ground that the umpire had not made it within the six months required by the Land Clauses Consolidation Act. The case appeared likely to occupy the whole day, and had not concluded when we want to press. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yestorday was steady. Sales 4,000 bales. Railway Shares 'were quiet, but there was very little doing. Messrs. ',almond and Co.'s sale was well attended yes terday, and a fair amount of business done at ebout the former quotations. The following are a few, of the prices:— East Indian, Reg Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston 0 8 0 Reading, Guildford, and Reigate 7 12 6 Great Luxembourg South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole 1 2 0 • Eastern Counties Shrewsbury and Birmingham (A)... ...... 3 15 6 North Staffordshire Paris and Lyons Boulogne and Amiens ... 13 10 0 Manchester and Southampton........ 0 7 0 Great Northern ... 4 10 0 The condition of the Paris Money-market still ex cites attention here, and certainly appearances are very unfavourable. It is recollected, however, that last year when matters looked so gloomy here, the French funds did not fall in proportion to the English, nor was there any commercial panic. It may be that the reverse case is now to be shown. Accounts from Pforzheim, Grand Duchy of Baden, state that several manufactories of gold and silver articles bad been placed in difficulties by the failure of Von Haber and Co. An arrival from the Cape of Good Hope furnishes ad vices of Nov. 9 from Graham's Town. There had been an encounter between our troops and the Kafirs, in which the latter, 1,000 strong, appear to have been signally worsted. At Natal affairs were not altogether in a satisfactory position. There has been an improving market for the Public Securities, and Consols, owing to the scarcity of Stock, have rallied from 871 to 871 1, There appears to be no " continuation " or rate of interest to February.

We have received papers from the Cape of Good Hope, per the ship Glen Huntly, Captain Barr, down to the 15th of November. At that date the Kafir war was proceeding favour• ably, as the chief Pato had been defeated by Colone Somerset. The Lieutenant- Governor of the Eastern Pro vince, Sir Henry Young, had left Graham's Town for Cape Town, whence he would probably proceed to England. The following are the particulars of Pato's defeat, as given in the South African, from the Graham's Town Journal of November 6th : FRlDAY.—Dispatches have just been received from head-quarters in Kafirland, detailing a most success ful and spirited attack by detachments under the command of Colonel Somerset, upon Pato and the Kafirs who are led by him. It seems that on Satur day last Colonel Somerset, having reason to believe that the enemy was in force at some distance in his front, immediately determined upon making a forced march, with a view, if possible, of bringing him to an engagement. Pushing forward, therefore, with some strong detachments of light troops, chiefly Cape corps, and Captain Hogg's levy, Colonel Somerset succeeded, by a night march, com pleting a distance of thirty miles, in reaching on Sunday the broken country, on a stream called the Checabe. Here having halted, Kafirs were shortly after seen galloping up the adjacent high ground, exposing themselves to observation much more daringly than had been the case for some time previously. Still it was scarcely expected that the enemy contemplated making a serious stand, the prevalent opinion being that he was merely watching the progress of the troops, anxious to see them move down the opposite declivity. At this time Captain Somerset, with a single orderly, having rode forward to some distance from the troops, found himself suddenly in front of a party of Kafirs, whom he eluded by immediately falling back. Before, however, he could rejoin the troops, a strong body of the enemy poured down upon him ; his orderly was shot from his horse, and he himself only es caped ;by making a dash through the savages, and tengtine. rather to the mettle of his steed than to the chances of a contest between a single individual and a score of infuriated foes. The Kafirs, after having narrowly observed the movements of the British force, then passed to the left. and ascended a height, distant about a mile in front, where they took up a very strong position, evidently with a determination to dispute their further progress. Colonel Somerset was not, however, disposed to balk their anticipation of a fight, and hence, no sooner did he ascertain their position, than he formed his men and put them in a position for attack, waiting with a good deal of impa tience for the arrival of Captain Hogg's levy, which was about a mile in the rear. Every arrangement having been made, the advance under the immediate command of Colonel Somerset, the Cape mounted rifles being led (in the absence of Major Armstrong) by Captain O'Reilley, wound slowly up the face of the hill, the Kafirs being most advantageously sheltered under cover of some im mense rocks. The troops kept steadily advancing until within 80 yards of the enemy, when orders being given, the bugle sounded the gallop, and the next minute the troops had crested the hill, dismounted, and were in among the enemy. The Kafirs at first opened a running fire, but being pushed vigorously, in 20 minutes they were driven from their position down into the ravine below. From this also they were speedily dislodged, leaving behind them their arms, karosses, and several horses. They fled into the adjacent valleys, which deeply intersect that section of country, and present the most favourable position that could be desired by Kafirs in carrying on their peculiar mode of warfare. Only 17 of the enemy were found killed in this affair, but it is affirmed that many more must have fallen, the Kafirs carrying off as many of their dead and wounded as possible, as was indicated by the numerous blood tracts hich were seen along the line of their retreat. The Kafirs keeping under shelter, their numbers could not be estimated, but their main body is supposed to have been not less than 800 men, besides some detached parties posted so as to take advantage of any circumstance which might turn up in their favour. The accounts received by us do not state the casulties on our side, which, however, we have reason to believe, are comparatively trifling. The Kafirs, for twenty minutes, maintained a sharp fire, but which seems, probably from the abruptness of the acclivity, to have been very ineffective. The weather is described as extremely severe, heavy and continued rains, but, our men were in good health, Colonel Somerset, with his usual zeal and activity, being ROLLS' COURT,(THIS DAY.) higHARDY P. HITCHCOCK. This was a motion on the part of the piomtiff, who claimed as next of kin to a Mrs. Stuart, deceased, to be entitled to two houses in Albemarle-street, for the production of certain documents, and the payment into Court of a sum of 1,0001., the arrears of rent accruing out of the property in question. It appeared that the sole surviving trustee to the will under which the plaintiff claimed obtained a reference to the Master, to inquire who was the next of kin to Mrs. Stuart, but having died that suit was not prosecuted, and the present defendant was his sole executor. His LORDSHIP dismissed the motion, but directed the costs to be charged to the suit which had abated, but which the defendant was about to revive. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) SEWELL V. NURRAY.----JUDGIIENT. His Hoicouu gave judgment to-day in this case, decreeing the payment of an annuity of 5001., instead of 3501., subject to the production of the probate of the will of the testator, and directing the case to stand over till the first day of causes after term, for the purpose of the production of the probate. THE SEALS. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat, stated that the first seal after term would be on Tuesday, the Bth of February ; the second, on Wednesday, the 23d of February; and the third and fourth seals had been so arranged as that the fourth seal should take place on the 22d of March. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) The Court took the new trial paper to-day ; no case came on for argument which possessed any interest except to those immediately concerned. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) EX PARTE THE CHURCHWARDENS OF THE PARISH OF BEDDINGTON. Mr. MELLOR moved for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not be issued directed to William Arthur 'Wilkinson and another, two justices of the peace for the county of Surrey, commanding them to make an order upon a gentleman named Ashley, occupying property in the parish of Beddington, to pay a church-rate. The rate was made at a vestry meeting of the parish, and afterwards signed by the rector, and one of the churchwardens. Mr. Ashley refused to pay, and was summoned before the justices at Croydon, but they refused to issue an order, because the rate had not been signed and sanctioned by both of the churchwardens of the _ parish. Application granted. BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.) Thomas Durham, who described himself as a green. grocer, was charged with appearing in the public streets in female clothes. Policeman F 110 said that being on duty last night in Long Acre, he heard a cry of 11 Stop thief I ' in Bow-street. He went to the spot and saw the pri soner, who was dressed as he now appeared, running away, and a crowd following him. Witness, on over taking him, brought him back to the spot. Finding no one to press the charge of theft, but perceiving that the prisoner was not a woman, as he had at first thought, took him to the station on the charge, of ap pearing in female attire. The prisoner said that he had no improper inten tion in assuming the disguise, but had merely done so by way of a frolic. The boys who raised the cry of " Stop thief I " were his own friends, amd raised the cry as a joke. Mr. HALL cautioned the prisoner not to repeat such a frolic, or he might see the inside of the House of Correction. There; were many men in London who assumed such disguises for the vilest purposes, but as it was not shown that the prisoner was one of them, he might be discharged this time. The prisoner promised to attend to the magistrate's caution. STANDING ORDERS—(THIS DAY) (Room 8, before Mr. SmiTu.)
