Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. "Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—Londce Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. —" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little kook, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. —" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves apace for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April 18,1852.

OBSERVATIONS ON niE TREATMENT OF SPERMATORR IICEA BY CAUTERIZATION; its Inefficiency and Danger. BY F. B. COURTENAY, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. "'Those who complain most loudly are those only who know not how to use the common instruments geons has been marred with all kinds of violence, an indifference about the simple cure of diseases, and a passion for operations and all the excesses and honors of surgery."—John Bell's Surgical Observations.—" In proof of his views ho (Mr. Ceurtenay) has given the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bail as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated. Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xvili. No. ix. had resisted, for a period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag gravated character than any detailed by Air. Syme, and yet the treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful." —Profess. r Lizars on the Treatment of Stricture. PRACTICAL HINTS. The season having been a wet one, Sportsmen have scarcely commenced their campaign, though the Game is plentiful, but speedy preparations are now being made for Sporting Excursions. Let Sportsmen remember that the only Establishments where Dress every way appropriate can be obtained with Dispatch and Economy are those of E. MOSES and SON, their Style and Cut superseding that of every house in the world ; and their celebrated Boots, ex pressly made for Sportsmen, being proof against wet and damp. E. MOSES and SON'S Clothing for the present time is designed with s u rprising ingenuity, being light and waterproof, elegant and com fortable, and in variety which affords Inimitable opportunities for selecting suitable attire for railway excursions, for youths' and children's wear, for every class and for all occupations ; each article being cheaper, better, and more fashionable at E. MOSES and SON'S than any dress which can be obtained elsewhere. D h i a.s arranged g I valuegreatgo t o of A u stralia with the most flattering prospects of euccess; but before they embark they sho uld visit the great Outfitting Establishment of E. MOSES and SON, wh ere a Department is expressly devoted t o Emigrants' Outfitting, where all the Goods, Utensils, Clothing, &c.,&c., they will req uire are always ready. Being prepared with the experience f the most extensive outfitters in the world, E. M OSES and SON'S Outfits are more suitable aul cheaper than the inferior goods offered elsewhere. All requisite information relative to sailing of vessels, &c., and full Lists of Outfits, naay be had on application, or post free, to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanlike falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " it's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons. They beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITII ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows ; London City Establishment, 154, 155, 15G, and 157, Minories, 83, 84, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating L on don West-end Branch, 506, 507, 508, Now Oxford-street, I, 2, and 3, Hart-street, all communicating.

The rally of the dirty legion to maintain this citadel, after the convention for its surrender has been signed, is persevered in. New recruits gather round their standard. The Derbyite organ in the morning daily press brags of the accession of the Whig organ in the evening daily press. The champions of the weekly re-unions cf horned cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, with all their filth in Smithfield, evince a fervour in the cause ardent as ever burned in the breasts of the knights of old, who encountered there amid the crashing of spears; or the martyrs, who there found a fiery death. But the poor dumb brutes who are goaded into madness in Smith field, can preach more eloquently against the perpe tuation of the market than the most voluble of the human donkeys who espouse that cause. On the af ternoon of Monday—while "able editors" were in diting paragraphs in laud of the market—a bullock, which had been purchased there and driven to Clare-market to be slaughtered, broke loose from its executioners and charged the assem bled multitude and chance passengers. In the course of an hour or so it threw down two children, injuring them so severely that they had to be carried to the hospital ; struck down a female, gashing her face and laying her nose open so that she was carried to the hospital in great agony ; tossed a child to a considerable distance so that it was injured by the fall; knocked down an old woman, propelling her to a distance of fifteen feet, so that her forehead was gashed; fell foul of a boy and terribly gashed his left thigh. This is the execution ascertained to have been done by the maddened animal in the course of a charge along the Strand and Fleet-street, through the crowds which throng that thoroughfare at mid day. We are complacently told by the advocates for the preservation of Smithfield market that the inha bitants of that locality, being issit - were "to the manner born," rather like than otherwise what would be to other persons an intolerable nuisance. A rea sonable degree of scepticism may be indulged as to the relish,—even by the denizens of Smithfield,—for having their children and old women tossed and gored after the fashion we have just described. Eels may get accustomed to be skinned alive, but human beings are more sensitive. And it is clear from the misad ventures of Monday that the inhabitants of me tropolitan districts, tolerably remote from Smith field, are endangered by the practice of driving bullocks to and from that central locality. Every week as soon as the clocks from the church towers proclaim midnight—the close of the Sabbath—the leading thoroughfares of London are crammed with bullocks, and detachments of this brute army, more or less numerous, continue to pass and re-pass till a late hour of Monday evening. They jostle their way through—to say nothing of adult males—through troops of little children going to, or returning from, school, old semi-palsied dames repairing to market, trim damsels engaged in their favourite pursuits of shopping. From Islington to Brixton, from Mile-end to Kensington, the weak and defenceless are once a week exposed to the caprices of infuriated brutes with sharp horns, and many an accident occurs which escapes the notice even of the übiquitous penny-a line corps. And yet we are asked to believe that nothing would be gained by transferring the market now held in Smithfield to some distant locality. Why, ono should have thought it palpable even to a City drover that if horned cattle, suffering from thirst at midsummer, and goaded by the sharp-pointed staves of drovers, were interne (as the French President would call it) in the outskirts of Bow, instead of being allowed to range at lar g e throu g h the whole of the metropolis, the number of individuals who in curred danger by crossing their path would be im mensely diminished. But there is no real necessity for exposing a n y of our suburbs to the unwelcome presence of those dan gerous visitants. The cattle purchased for the con sumption of the metropolis are at present either slaughtered in that vicinity, and their quarters con veyed in market carts to the shops of the salesmen, or they are driven along the streets (like the hero of Monday's casualties) to slaughter-houses more or less remote. Now, eight or ten miles can be travelled by railway in the course of some twenty minutes ; such a brief period would, therefore, be the whole addition to the time required at present to transport the car case from the shambles to the shop, were the markets and slaughter-houses relegated to a distance of eight or ten miles from London. Six cattle markets with slaughter-houses might be established on six great lines of railway for the accommodation of six divisions of London. Less than an hour would suttee to convey the master butchers at any time to and from the market ; less than half an hour to bring every morning by an early train the meat slaugh tered for the day to one or other of the six principal railway stations. The number of market carts re quired to convey it from the stations to the shops would not be greater than is now required to convey it from the slaughter-houses to the shops; and instead of being, as now, concentrated in a great measure in Newgate-street, they would be spread over six remote localities. The filth and garbage of the slaughter houses, instead of being accumulated in one immense mass, in a place whence it can with difficulty be re moved, would be kept apart in com p ar atively small masses , and almost instantly be carted off as manure to the surrounding fields. The gambols played by the maddened bullock of Monday all along the Strand and Fleet-street afford the last illustration of the danger to life and limb with which the perpetuation of Smithfield-market is at tended. Yet as Sydney Smith had no hopes of reform in railway administration until a bishop should have been burned, so possibly the Smithfield nuisance may flourish till a brat® of Lord Mayors have been tossed and gored. Perhaps, however, the presence of cholera at Danzig may accelerate the evacuation of the cen tral district of London by its present foul and dan gerous occupants. (From the Herald.) Again, and yet again ! Two more leading articles upon Smithfield-market ! For one reason only do we allude to them —namely, to keep before the public eye the remarkable fact, that none of the opponents of Smithfield will now venture to say that the intended removal, as at present contemplated and preparing, will be any improvement. The most rabid of the free -trade journals rushes into the fray yesterday in the following polite fashion : " ` Smithfield to the rescue. The rally of the dirty legion to maintain this citadel, after the convention for its surrender has been signed, is persevered in. New recruits gather round their standard. The Derbyite organ in the morning daily press brags of the accession of the Whig organ in the evening daily press. The champions of the weekly re-unions of horned cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, with all their filth in Smithfield, evince a fervour in the cause ardent as ever burned in the breasts of the knights of old,wholencountered there amid the crashing of spears; or the martyrs, who there found a fiery death." Here is no want of hostility to us or to Smithfield. Yet even this assailant will not venture to say that the change now proposed will be a change for the better. Like the Globe, Spectator, &c., he desiderates a change, but not this change. Here is the new view of what is required : "Now, eight or ten miles can be travelled by railway in the course of some twenty minutes; such a brief period would, therefore, be tho whole addition to the time required at present to transport the carcase from the shambles to the shop, where the markets and slaughter-houses relegated to a distance of eight or ten miles from London. Six cattle-markets with slaughter houses might be established on six great lines of rail way for the accommodation of six divisions of London. Less than an hour would suffice to convoy the master butchers at any time to and from the market; less than half an hour to bring every morning by an early trails the meat slaughtered for the day to one or other of the six principal railway stations. The number of market carts required to convey it from the stations to the shops would not be greater than is now required to convey it from the slaughter-houses to the shops; and instead of being, as now, concen trated in a great measure in New gate-street, they would be spread over six remote loca lities." This would be a great and total change, but it is not the change proposed in the Bill of 1851. That measure—the measure which the Corporation are now engaged in carrying out—appears to have no friends. At least, while several journals have taken part in the controversy, we have not yet met with a single argument in favour of the change which is now about to be made.

The General Screw St eam Shipping Company's mail packet Hellespont, Captain W. Watts, arrived this morning at five o'clock. Fer dates are—out ward, Plymouth, June 26 ; St. 7incent, July 8 ;, ar r at the Cape, July 29," being. a passage of days, the shortest on record ; homeward—left the Cape August 3 ; St. Hel ena , A ugust 11 ; A sce nsion, August 15 ; St. Vincent, August 95 ; Plymouth, September 8. The intelligence from the seat of war c ontinues to be of the same dubious c h aracter as ever, an d it is the private opinion of those who hove been practi cally conversant with military proceedings o n the frontier that the settlement o f thi s vexatious con t es t is as far off as it was twelve mont h s since. On the st of July Gener a l C athcart issuel a pro clamation, calling for the ass i stance of every man capable of bearing arms, a n d on the2oth his Excel lency issued an explanatory c i rcular in w `which it is stated that all he required was a deputation of all the fighting men who can really cone to represent the district, and for those who cannot come to assist those who can. The Governor insists on this help. The mother country ha; sa cr ifi c ed much life and treasure, whileits only real advantage was Simon's Bay. the possession of the seaport o f The protection of certain colonists who settled on the frontier 30 years since might be c ons id ere d an o bli gation, but such obligations have their limits. This must probably be the last Kafir war. .)arried on at the cost of the British Government. Th e object of Ge neral Cathcart's intended expeditbn was twofold — first, to test the willingness of the colonists; and se condly, if they came forward, to demonstrate to the Kafir; that, independently-of thd Imperial force, there was sufficient strength in the colon y to chastise the enemy should he again attack the fr on ti er. If t h e General found the colonists undv . illing, h e had amp l e force to cross the Kei and vindicate the national honour, but this would convince the world that the colonists were deficient in their would ever after hold t h e m contempt. After former energy, and their ii ahief o p ponent Krel i re turning from the expedition beyond th e K ei, t h e Governor says it will be his duty to r eport to th e home Government if the colorists had not rendered him proper support, in that me he will probably be commendation to them would )e to k eep less sheep ordered to withdraw his army. when hi s parting re and oxen, and more shepheris and herdsmen, for wild men and wild beasts world soon recover their ancient sovereignty in the Fish River and Zuurberg, and the colonists will not be alle to d r i ve them out as their fathers did in th e o lden time. The files of Cape papers give the usual accounts of cattle lifting by combined Hottentots and Kafirs, and of reprisals by the regular forces and burghers. The only attack worthy of notice was one made on the Waterkloof by Colonel Buller, of the Rifles on the 24th of July, when the Kafirs were lured from their stronghold by a feigned retreat, and were thus ex posed to the full fire of the Arti lery and Rifles, suf fering a loss of more than 100, while only three of Colonel Buller's force were wounded. , Lieutenant-Go vernor verUnnordeDr daterling Commissioners of the western in which, Darling of h a the s addressed e of s 5e d A a ug ei u r s e t u to the Civil districts, after referring to General Cathcarts letter of the 20th of July to the eastern prosinces, he says that, by the last newspaper accounts from Graham's Town and Port Elizabeth, the Governor's views had been promptly responded to, ani that considerable contri butions had been cheerfully rendered towards equip ping the contingent from tae eastern districts. Lieu tenant Governor Darling tlen gives instructions to the Commissioners to make known through the field cornets that they are ready to receive contributions in money or kind towards the equipment of the eastern volunteers, to be forwarded to the Treasurer-General in Cape Town, and sending at the same time to the Governor's secretary accurate lists of the names of the contributors. A private correspondent, writing from Cape Town, on the 3d of August, says,— " The Hellespont leaves this afternoon for England, after a rapid passage out of :2 days. The intelligence she takes home is in so fur satisfactory as showing the decided line of policy General Cathcart has adopted in endeavouring to bring this inglorious but expen sive war to a speedy terminaton. The most important document that has appeared since last mail is the Governor's appeal to the eastern province burghers, to join in the great expedition to the Kti, end, it is most satisfactory to add, with porno pro spect of success. The Lieutenant-Gevernor has issued circulars to those of the western province, urging them by contribution, either in the shape of money or ar ticles, to assist in the equipment of their eastern brethren. This is looked upon as a wise measure, and will, there is little doubt, be generally responded to. (Both these notices appear below.) It may hero be mentioned that the Cape Town subscription list to the relief of the Kafir war sufferers is upwards of 4,2001,, and that fur those by the loss of the Birkenhead about 1,4001., in cluding the Legislative Council's greet. The other in telligence from the seat of war 2onsists of the same his tory of encounters between predstory bands of the ene m y and the frontier farmers whi c h has marked its from the commencement; but although a late ge neral order mentions a strong body o f cavalry and i n f a ntry of th e ene my having ' extend e d , closed, fired, re tired, &e., by the sound of the bugle,' they have su ffered severely in on© or two cleverly-exec u t e d ruses.

Ma como is the only chief that h as anything like a force to depend on; tho generality of t h e Ghikas h a ve either the crossed the Kei or found an a s yl um among progress friendly Fort Beaufort on the 31st ult.; every mail from the fron- Kafirs.

" The news from the Sovereignty is very satisfactory; a constitution had been agreed upon by delegates au thorised for that purpose by the High Commissioners.

" This • must probably be the last Kafir war crrried on in this country at the cost of the British Government, for the expenses of another, amounting- to 1,000,0001. sterling, cannot again be exPeeted to be drawn, by vote of the Imperial Parliament, from the pockets of the British constitu enc y, in a caus e in which, exce p t from motives of sympathy - and b e nevolence, iG has no real ,interest. " The object of my intended expedition beyond the I Kei is two-fold:— " 1. To test the power and willingness of the colonists to come for war d i n their own cause. "2. If they do so come forward, to demonstrate to the influential paramount chief of their most formidable and rancorous Kafir enemies that, independently of the irresistible pow er of her m aje ,,, y , s armies, there is force and energy w ithi n the colony sufficient to chastisehim should he again be guilty of aiding or abetting In hostilities against the colony. " If, therefore, I should find myselfy,i ill- supported on this occasion, which I will net t means to go forward with her l Majesty's e e v e e ld , t l roo h p a s ve an a dv p' in l' - dicate the national honour ; butthen arrive et the painful conviction that tho colon th ie e ta of l the present day have not the energy to exert own cause, and therefore have not the power to i keept h c is their enemies at the distance to which them; and, what is worse, the chief Krell, cot': removed the same fact, instead of standing in awe of them, convinced d e o li f thenceforward hold them in the estimation whichwth-e}- would deserve. " There are persons who attempt to prejudice the good opinion I now cherish of the people of this part of the colony, which I am appointed to govern, who t e ll me that my predecessor was disappointed on a similar occa sion, and that I am too sanguine in my expectations that the call which I have made will be duly and cordially responded to. I will not believe them. I have myself' witnessed too many brilliant examples of patience under misfortunes, of energy, and of courage among the colonists of these northern districts, which are more im mediately under my own eye, to give the slightest atten tion to such unworthy rumours. "I will wait and form my own judgment on the event; but should I be disappointed I wish you to remind the inhabitants of your district of the moral of the fable, which says, that if, when the waggon is in a hole, the waggoner will not put his own shoulder to the wheel, Jupiter will not help him. " In preparing to go to the Kei I have not been un mindful of internal security. Three whole regiments and numerous armed levies will be left within the fron tier to support an ample police force, which either is or ought to be in activity, in the protection of the eastern districts; an equal force will occupy British Kafraria, beyond your frontier, during my short absence. " When I return from my expedition beyond the Kei, I must make up my report to her Majesty's Government, not only as to the result of: that expedition, but as to whether I have found the people of this colony grateful for the s u pp ort which has been afforded them, and willing and able to exert themselves in their own cause, and therefore deserving, or the contrary, as the case m ay be, and whether, therefore, I consider their cause wo:th fighting for or not. "Ia the latter event, I should probably be ordered to withdraw my army; and my parting advice to the colonists of the eastern half of this colony, at least, could only he —keep fewer sheep and oxen, and provide your selves with more shepherds and herdsmen; for wild men and wild beasts will soon again recover their ancient so vereignty in the Fish River and Zaurberg, et ultra; and you will be unable to drive them out as your fathers did iu the olden time. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant , GEO. CATHCART, Lieut.-General, " Governor and Commander-in-Chief. "The Civil Commander of The latest intelligence from Kafirland and the border is as follows ; it is dated August 3 : B y yesterday's post from the frontier we learn that a most diabolical outrage had been perpetrated near Fort Pato, in Kafraria, by a body of about two hun dred Kafirs, who attacked the cattle herds on the after noon of the 23c1, killed and roasted ot a fire ono of them (a Hottentot), and took prisoner a Kafir, sweeping off at the same time sixty-two head of cattle belonging to the post. The marauders were of the tribes ot Tola, Stock, and Seyolo. " An attack had also been made on the eveing o the 26th on some waggons at the foot of Woee n t's Hill,f near Graham's Town, by a band of rebel Hottentots, who captured two spans of oxen. Commandant Currie was in pursuit with his mounted police. " A spirited affair took place in the Waterkloof on the morning of the 24th inst., when Colonel Buller, having received information that a large number of Kafirs were congregated at Mundell's Krantz, moved from his camp with a strop co l u mn of infantry , ca v a lr y , and artillery , to surprise them. This, it is reported, was successfully effected, and the savages exposed to a severe fire of small arms, after which, having been lured from their fast nesses by a feigned retreat of the troops, they were ex posed for a length of time to the full fire of the Artil lery and Riflemen, suffering, it is said, a loss of at least 100 killed, while the casualties in Colonel Buller's force were but three wounded. " The Graham's Town Journal announces that it has been officially reported to the Governor by the IPSlambie Commissioner, Captain Maclean, that most of the hostile Kafirs, with the exception of those with Ma come, had dispersed themselves among the friendly tribes. Sandilli, it is affirmed, has with him not more than twenty followers.' The outrage mentioned above hardly corroborates this. " Most strenuous exertions were being made to equip a respectable Burgher force, to meet the Governor on the 6th inst., for the grand movement ugainsi Kreili. Numerous volunteers have been enrolled, and consider able subscriptions made at Graham's Town and other border towns, as also at Port Elizabeth; and it was ex pected that a strong muster of efficient men would take place. There was, however, much difficulty in pro curing horses, and the country is described as being dreadfully parched with drought. " The Mail of this morning reports that a fierce attack was made on Fort White about the 25th inst., the assail ants being fortunately beaten off; also that Mr. Carlisle's valuable cattle, so lately recovered from the enemy, had again been swept off, lost." and, it was feared, irrecoverably We take the subjoined "monthly summary" from the Cape Town Mail of the 3d of August : " After eighteen months of harassing and destructive warfare between the British Government and the Kafir tribes, during which the inhabitants of this colony have been exposed to an untold amount of sufferings and loss, it would be a grateful task to have to report the cessa tion of hostilities, or even such an approximation to a satisfactory termination of the war as would enable the frontier colonists to return to their deserted homesteads, and resume the peaceful occupations of husbandry and trade. With grief, however, we still have to record the continuance of this miserable struggle. The scene of contest is not yet even removed from the ruined districts which bore the brunt of the first outbreak. The chiefs Sandilli and Macomo,i with the remnant of their tribes, although repeatedly and gallantly attacked by the troops and burghers, still hold possession of their impregnable fastnesses in the Amatolas and the Waterkloof, while marauding bands of ' loose Kafirs,' with their Hottentot rebel allies, still roam in detached parties, carrying terror and devastation throughout the open country; and even within the last few days attacking herds and sweeping off cattle within sight of Graham's Town, the metropolis of the eastern districts. "Pursuing the course of events, we find, by general orders since published, that the attack upon the enemy in the Buffalo mountains, noticed in our last, was made in consequence of information having been received of the existence in that quarter of permanent lagers of the rebel Hottentots, who, associated with the hostile Kafirs recently issuing forth in largo marauding bands of mounted men, committed great ravages, and alarmed the peaceable inhabitants within the colony.' It will be re membered that the task of routing this formidable horde was most gallantly performed by Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre, with only a small portion of the force destined for the purpose; and the spirited and soldier-like manner in which the service was performed has elicited the warmest expressions of approbation from General Cath cart, who declared his intention to bring to the special notice of the Duke of Wellington the meritorious conduct of Captain the Hon. P. Herbert, Captain Green, and the other officers and men of the two companies of the 43d Regiment, who were alone engaged on the oc casion. " Information was shortly afterwards received that about 600 Kafirs and rebel Hottentots were assembled in the neighbourhood of the ruined village of Auck land, threatening an attack upon Alice. Lieutenant- Colonel Napier was immediately ordered to move over the hills from Blinkwater, where he had been stationed, taking with him three companies of the 91st Regiment, a squadron of Cape Mounted Rifles, a company of the Loyal Kat River Hottentots, a detachment of the enrolled Fingoes, and - two guns. A reinforcement of two companies of the 2d (Queen's Regiment) were also ordered to join him from Fort Hare, and General Cath cart proceeded in person to the camp. Tho force moved forward at 4 N., and reached Auckland at daybreak, when the lager and kraals were at once vigorously as sailed. The enemy, however, offered no resistance, but fled with their Cattle over the tops of the mountains, into the Amatola mountains, where pursuit was found to be 'im practicable.' Eighty recently erected huts were de stroyed, and several saddles, knapsacks, and other arti cles belonging to the Sappers recently killed at the Ko nap, wore recovered.. His Excellency having witnessed this operation, and satisfied himself as to the safety of Alice, returned :to head-quarters—Lieutenant -Colonel Napier falling back upon his former position at Blink water. " On the 6th, 7th, and Bth of July, General Cathcart, having with him the 60th Rifles, a detachment of Royal Sappers and Miners, a company of enrolled Fingoes, and two guns, penetrated and scoured a large p o rtion of the m ountain ridges boundin g th e Waterkloot. His Excel lency entered through the noted Bush Neck at mid night of the 6th, and at daybreak ascended the steep rise near Niland's farm, without meeting with the resistance which was anticipated. lie then proceeded to assail with shells and rockets the lurking places of the rebel Hottentots within range. On this thoKneisefiorrulhern side of the kloof, however, neither kraalsedi made tracks were to be seen, and the enemy well cattle s we ll planned themselves scarce in that quarter.

Having gained the table land which commands that part of the kloof, this force proceeded to attack and burn all the kraals within reach. Here a decided resistance was experienced, and one man of Captain Lakeman's com pany was killed. In this day's work, writes General Cathcart, the loss of the enemy must have been severe, from the well-directed fire of the artillery, and the energy with which the attacks were carried on.' On the Bth, at daybreak, the two columns united on the north side, when the Rifle Brigade, with the LQ,VieS and Fiugoet, proceeded vigorously with the work of scouriug '— rockets being thrown and shells fired into the klent be low, where the numerous kraals were found easily ac cessible. In these operations one man of the Rifle Bri gade was killed and one Fingo wounded. At noon the head-quarters column returned to its former positier, re-nassing the Neck without loss, although followed up by great numbers of the enemy, who undauntedly ex changed shots with the rear-guard of the 60th Rifles. Next day the troops returned to quarters. " On the 14th General Cathcart again proceeded with the troops to the Waterkluof, accompanied by Captain Moodie and Captain Jessie, to select a spot for a per manent peat, to contain a large force, and capable of being easily guarded by a few men. A locality was chosen within a few hundred yards of the place where Colonel Fordyce was killed. Hero it is intended to erect two stone redoubts, securing the approach from the west, and communicating w ith Blinkwater post by a mule path to be cut through the cliff. This work is to be at once proceeded with, the 60th Rifles, four guns, and a large body of levies, being left to hold possession. "By the post last received from the seat of war we learn that thi s f orce had had a smart affair , with the enemy, wh om they had drawn out of the hloof by a feigned retreat. The four guns, which had been pre viously plac e d i n position, opened unexpectedly upon the pursuing mass; th e Ri fles at the same time pouring in a deadly fire. One hundred of the enemy are said to have fallen; while the troops had only two men of the Rifle bpi© and one Cape Rifle wounded. "An attack by a body of rebels upon Eland's post has been gallantly repulsed by a small detachment of the 91st, stationed there under Captain Wright (the survivor of the Birkenhead). The enemy appeared in considerable force and manoyavred with all the skill of disciplined troops, extending, advancing, and retiring by sound of bugle. After endeavouring, almost success fully, to draw the little garrison into an ambuscade, they sounded the 'close' and the advance,' and move d on to the post. Captain Wright, with only twenty three men of the 91st, then marched out to meet them, and, being joined by a party of the Kat River levy, drove them off with loss. " An enumeration of the various encounters which have taken place during the month, within the colony, between the predatory bands of the enemy and the scat tered farmers of the trontier districts, would present a distressing picture of ruinous disasters, manfully but ineffectually struggled against. At this moment life and property are scarcely anywhere secure within 100 miles of ICafirland, except in the immediate vicinity of military posts. Productive industry, within that wide space, is everywhere paralysed; and the inhabitants of the best portion of the Eastern Province are reduced to the misery of seeing their once fertile lands thrown out of cultivation, their valuable flocks of the finest wool bearing sheep in the world plundered, driven about, and destroyed—their labourers dispersed, and either enticed away to join the savage enemy on one side, or be em bodied in scarcely less savage bands of irregular levies on the other—while their families are kept in continual alarm, liable at any moment to be huddled together in lagers, or exposed to all the demoralisation of crowded camps. "The call which has been made by General Cathcart upon all the men of the eastern districts capable of bear ing arms to meet him at the Imvani, beyond the Kei, appears likely to be well responded to, as a last desperate effort to put and end to this detestable war. Consider able sums have been subscribed in some of the frontier towns by those who aro prevented by circumstances from giving personal service, in order to equip and assist those who are preparing to turn out. " A report has been circulated of an alleged discovery of a conspiracy among some of the Hottentots of the Bethelsdorp missionary inttitution to join the rebels, and several of these men have been committed to prison by a local functionary who is known to have long enter tained a strong feeling of hostility to that institution; but the charge has not been traced to any satisfactory foundation. " The territories in the neighbourhood of the colony— Ksfirland always excepted —appear to be generally in a peaceful state. The trade between the colony and the Orange River Sovereignty, the Trans Vaal Republic, and Natal is rapidly increasing; and to this we hope soon to be able again to add the once valuable Kafir trade. " A great impetus has been given to business by the opening of the extended lines of screw steam communi cation to India and Australia; anti efforts are being made, though tardily, to provide secure harbour accom modation for the crowds of shipping now directing their course to wards our port, on their way to the golden regions. A reward of tool. was offered last week by Lieute naut-Governor Darling fur the discovery of coal in the Cape colony, and it is believed that the object has been already attained. Samples of an excellent description of coal have been troughs to town, said to have been found in the neighbourhood of the celebrated Constantia vine yards. The fact appears credibly attested, and a com mission, consisting of the Secretary to Government, the Surveyor-General, the Astronomer Royal, and Messrs. Ansdell and Chiappini, were to proceed to the spot yes terday for examination and report. Their report has not yet appeared. " An earnest but friendly and considerate appeal has just been made by Lieutenant. Governor Darling to the inhabitants of the western districts, calling upon them to contribute, either in money or kind, towards the equipment and maintenance of the votunteers who are now going forth from the eastern part of the colony to join the standard of the Commander-in - Chief. This appeal, we feel confident, will be met in a generous and patriotic spirit by the Cape public."

COALS AT THE CAPE.—Thn Lieutenant-Governor has offered a reward of not less than 501. nor exceedin4 1001. to any person or persons who shall prove to the satisfaction of the Government the existence of a gocd cola within such a distance of Ta'oie Bay or Simon's Bay as will render it possible to deliver it at either of these places as cheap as when imported from other countries. Thin layers of coaly matter—that is, of compressed and hardened vegetable master, have been found near the surface in vaiimis parts of Southern Africa; and, though not very probable, it is not without preeedent, that e bed of coal reposes in the Great Valley between Table Mountain and the Tygerberg and Stellenbosch hills. A vast deposit of coal has been found in the state of Virginia, the lowest of the beds resting imme diately on the fundamental granite. Such a cup of granite may possibly be found in the Cape Downs, filled by what are called the coal measures, the edges of which may crop out about Tygerberg, NNrynberg, and other elevations. This is well worth scientific Lvestigatior, even at considerable expense. A report having been made to the Lieutenant-Governor that coal had just been discovered at some twelve miles' distance from Tabby Bay, he immediately caused an examination of the spot to be made, and the party appointed were led by the dis coverer to a spot at the back of Table Mountain, between Constantia and Bout's Pay, where small pieces of coal have been found in the bed or basin of a rivulet. Nothing, however, was discovered, so far as the public have been informed, that give much encouragement to the hope of finding coal in any considerable quantity in that direction. The geological formation of the whole peninsula, indeed, is unfavourable to such expectations, but as isolated coal-beds have been discovered in forma tions equally discouraging, th e i nvest i gation ought to be pursued.—South African Commercial Advertiser.
