WHITTAKER, PUBLISHER. —George Byrom Whittaker, bookseller and pub lisher, of Ave-Maria-lane, and Phillimore-place, Kensington, who died on the 18th of December last, had executed his will in 1841, which was proved in Doctors' Commons on the 25th of January, by Mr. 'Richard Gilbert, his brother-in-law, the acting executor. The other executors appointed were Edward Stewart, jun., of Winchester House, Broad street, merchant ; and Barclay Farquharson Watson, Esq., of Cambridge-terrace, Hyde Park, and Lincoln's Inn-fields, solicitor, both of whom re nounced. The personal property was valued at 50,0001. He has given and devised to trustees his maaors, messuagss, lauds, tenements, hereditaments, and all other estates, whether freehold, copybold, or customary, and all his capital and stock in trade, money, debts, and securities, and all other personal estate and effects ; and that they shall absolutely sell his freehold, leasehold, and real estates, and stand possessed of all money from the sale thereof, and, together with the personal estate, to hold the same, upon trust, to be invested in good securities, and out of the interest, dividends, and annual proceeds, in the first place, to pay to his brother, John W. Whittaker, and his daughter, an annuity of 1601., being 801. to each, for their respective lives ; and leaves the residue to Lis sister, Mrs. Ann Gilbert, wife of Mr. Richard Gilbert, of St. Jehn's-square, for her own use; and if lw should survive her, to his use ; and, after the decease of both, to apply the principal moneys and premises to and among all their children ; and to each of his executors he leaves 1001. The will of the Right Honourable Edward Penne father, late Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland, was proved first in the Preroga tive Court in Ireland, by his sons, Edward Penne father, Esq., and the Rev. 'William Pennefather, the executors, and has been recently proved in the Pre rogative Court in London, by his son, Edward,Penne father, alone. The funded property and personalty here were valued at 6,0001. The will is without date, and revokes all other wills and testamentary dispositions made by him. His estates are charged with a jointure for the life of his wife, to whom he has left a pecuniary legacy, and a power of disposi tion over property not exceeding 6,0001.; he also leaves her the Tontine annuity on her life, which is payable in London, and that she may make selection of any ,:one of the carriages, and have the use of the plate and furniture, and the library and books (notlaw books, these he has left to his eldest son Edward). By a deed executed previous to the marriage of his son Edward with Harriet Hall, of Cobbett's Hall, flirts, the set tled estates in England and Ireland were conveyed to his son Edward, subject to certain incumbrances. He devises all his estate, right, and interest, to the town and land of Greenmount, otherwise Kenilworth, Burgessland Island, in River Sim, facing same, the burgagery land of Cashel, and other land elsewhere in the counties of Tipperary and 'Waterford, to his second son, the Rev. William Pennefather, of Grange Parsonage, Armagh, subject to fines, rents, and an nuities. He leaves to his three younger sons, being his said son William, John (since deceased), and Richard, 5,000/. each. (John having died before the testator, his share will sink into the inhe ritance.) His stock in the Bank of England and certain Lou;siana bonds he leaves to his sou Richard, and a further sum of 1,4001. His three eldest daughters namely, Ann, who married Wade Brown, Esq., then of 'Worcestershire, but late of Wilts; his second daughter, Ellen, wife of the Rev. James Thomas O'Brien, D.D., Lord Bishop of Os gory, Leighlin and Ferns ' • and his third daughter, Susan, wife of Richard Hall, Esq., of Cobbett's Hall—had each received marriage portions ; and for his fifth daughter, Mary, a portion was also provided on her marriage, then in contemplation. To his daughters, Jane and Dora, he leaves 3,5001. each ; and has appointed his sons Edward and William the residuary legatees. Legacies are left to each of his servants. This able and distinguished equity lawyer, after practising with pre-eminent success at the Irish bar for nearly half a century, attained one of the highest honours of his profession, being appointed Lord Chief Justice of her l‘fajesty's Court of Queen's Bench in belated ; which dignified office he held du ring that memorable period of the state trials when Mr. O'Connell was arraigned. Oyer this court his Lordship presided but a short time; his health fail ing him, he retired into private life. aud, after a lengthened illness, he died at hig residence, Fitz william-square, Dublin, on the 6th of September last. By his death a pension of 3,0001. per annum reverts to the Crown. His elder brother is one of the Barons of the Court of Exchequer in Ireland. THE DISCO VERY OF COAL AT VANCOUVER'S ISLAND. In our paper of Thursday last, under the head of " Portsmouth Naval Intelligence," it was stated by our correspondent that an excellent specimen of coal had been brought home by her Majesty's ship Cor morant, from Vancouver's Island, which was consi dered by competent judges to be good, and service able coal, equal to any in the British mines, and which the Cormorant had been enabled readily to procure in large quantities at the rate of 4s. per ton, whilst at Valparaiso the price of British coal was as high as 161. per ton. The following additional particulars respecting the res,ition of these coal treasures may not be nninterevting to our readers. On the north and east side of Vancouver's Island, a recently dicovered river debouches into Johnstone's Straits, near the mouth of which large seams of coal crop out on the surface of the soil. At this point the trading steamer of the Hudson's Bay Com pany navigating the Straits of Juan de Fuca obtains ready and plentiful supplies, which is put on board by the Indians at a mere nominal price. Mr. Dunn, who was a trader and interpreter in the Hudson's Bay Company's steamer Beaver, gives an interesting ac count of the discovery of this coal. He states—" The cause of the discovery (of the coal) was as curious as the discovery itself was itsportznt. Some of the natives at Fort M'Loughlin having, on coming to the fort to traffic, observed coal burning in the furnace of the blacksmith, in their natural spirit of curiosity, made several inquiries about it, they were told that it was the best kind of fuel, and that it was brought over the greet salt lake six months' journey. They looked surprised, and, in spite of their habitual gravity, laughed and capered about. The servants at the fort weie surprised at their unusual antics, and inquired the cause. The Indians explained, saying that they had changed in a great measure their opinion of the white men, whom they thought en dowed by the Great Spirit with the power of effecting great and useful objects, as it was evident they were not then influenced by His wisdom in bringing fuel such a vast distance, and at so much cost. They then pointed out where it could be found, of the richest quality, close to the surface, rising in hillocks, and requiring very little labour to dig it out. This intelligence having been reported at Port Van couver, we received instructions to make the necessary inquiries and exploration. Mr. Finlaison and part of the crew went on shore, and after some inquiries and a small distribution of rewards, found from the na tives that the original account given at Fort M'Loughlin was true.. The coal turned out to be of excellent quality, running in extensive fields, and even in clumpy mounds, and most easily worked, all along that part of the country. The natives were anxious that we should employ them to work the coal. To this we consented, and agreed to give them a certain sum for each large box. The natives being so numerous and labour so cheap, for us to attempt to work the coal would have been madness." It is earnestly to be hoped that this rich and valu able deposit may ere long be brought within the the reach of the fast increasing number of our steamers on the west coast of America and the Pacific.—Times.

We have been solicited to insert the following cor respondence, which will be found to be explanatory of the circumstances under which Captain Warner has been deprived of the command of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's steam ship Haddington : Sir,—l request you will commit to the public a correspondence between Lord Torrington (through the medium of his secretary, Doctor Bernard), and myself, which I enclose. I must also beg of you to insert the following conversation which took place between Lord Torrington and myself, the morning after the scene of his Lordship's leaving the quarter deck took place. I saw him in his cabin, and expressed my regret that he should have so misconceived my conduct on the previous evening, as te suppose my intention had been either to annoy him or exercise a little brief authority. His Lordship demanded of me whether I had a right to prevent his servants from walking the quarter-deck at any hour What lady had complained of his se rvan t s walking arm and arm on the quarter-d ec k ? saying " that his servants were as go o d as a ny lady on board, and it was nothing but th e ir vulgarity that occa sioned their objection." My reply was, "that it was my duty to prevent annoyance to every person on board, and that if he considered his servants as good as any of the lady passengers, why did he not likewise expect them to dine at the saloon table, or make them first-class passengers, as then I could have no power over their walking en the quarter-deck or dining at the table." These remarks of Lord Torrington's showed me how necessary it was for me to protect, as long as I could, those forms in society, acknowledged, when a man in Lord Torrington's position - iietlbe sdarnple of defying them. I left his Lordship's cabin fully determined to act to the best of my abilities for the welfare of the party, and for so doing I have been deprived of the command of the Haddington, with what reason let those who know the case decide. As to the good effects it will have in producing order and comfort in ships carrying large and motley parties remains to be proved. Point de Gallo, October, 18, 1847.

Sir,—Being on the point of communicating with the Board of Directors in London of the P. and 0. S. N. Company, by the direction of his Excellency Viscount Torrington, I have to request that you will be se good as to furnish me, in writing, with the dis tinct terms of the order by which you excluded the female attendants of Lady Torrington from the quarter•deck of this vessel. As I shall have have occasion to address the di rectors at some length upon this subject and others, I shall furnish you with a copy of my communication in time for you to transmit any remarks you may have to offer thereon to the board of directors by the same mail which will convey the original from Ceylon. A similar copy will likewise be transmitted to the Company's agent at Calcutta. I have the honour to be, sir, your very obedient servant, W. B. BERNARD, Private Secy. to his Excellency. TO WM. BERNARD, ESQ., PRIVATE SECRETARY TO HIS EXCRLLIECY VISCOUNT TORRINGTON, GOVERNOR OE CEYLON. S. S. Haddington, May 21st, 1847. Sir,—ln reply to your inquiries as to my right of sending Lady lorrington's servants off the quarter deck, I must deny having done so in toto. Her Ladyship's servants always have, and do still, resort to the quarter-deck, and I never objected to their so doing. What I did object to was, their walking the quarter-deck during the hours from six to nine in the evening, when the lady passengers were on the deck, and at no other time have I placed a veto on their walking on the quarter-deck. They hare on several occasions walked arm and arm together on that side of the quarter-deck that the ladies were on, when the other side was comparatively tree. This Ido consider a cause of grievance to the lady passengers, and consequently after repeated acts of the kind, having sent menages to them by the purser's clerk to tell them it was contrary to the regu • lation of the ship, &c., Mr. Worcester himself having spoken to them on another occasion, I, upon the 19th instant, was walking the quarter-deck in company with a lady and gentleman, when they commenced walk ing arm and arm. I then spoke to them myself, and requested them to be seated, at the same time stating they could walk the quarter-deck at any other hours than from six to nine in the evening, saying at the time I would speak to Lord Torrington in the morn ' ing ; upon which the French lady's maid made her complaint to Lord Torrington, who immediately took his family off the quarter-deck, looking upon the case as one of personal affront, which, of course, was quite foreign to my intentions ; and a recent expla nation with Lord Torrington not having the effect of convincing him of my acting without any personal feeling or want of courtesy, I of course could make p n o further advances, as I cons id er I have a duty to to a large party i n th e s hip. I acted in the ca pacity of a man wi s hi ng to d o w h a t was f a i r t o a community in which there are many ladies, without placing them in the disagreeable position f making complaints.—l have .the honour to remain, yours obediently, R. E. WARNER. Commending ship Haddington. TO CAPTAIN wARNNN, &C. Haddington, May 21. Sir, —I have perused your letter of this morning in reply to my own, and I have communicated its con tents to his Excellency Viscount Torrington. lam directed to observe, that the inquiry conveyed to you in my letter had no reference whatever to the question of right or no right, as in this instance you thought proper to do. It was a simple question, to which I have still to request you to be good enough to give me a simple answer. Whatever complaints you may at any time have had to make with respect to Lord Torrington's ser vants, I have to remind you that no complaint has ever been addressed by you or by your orders to Ms Lordship, who was the. proper person to take care that the attendants of Lady Torrington and Miss Byng did not become troublesome to any one on board. But his Lordship has not been apprised that an y complaint of any description has been made to you (and certainly not to himself) by any one of the passengers respecting them. I am therefore directed to request you to state whether any and what complaint, if any, has been made, and to make know n to rne, for his Lordship's information, the name of the passengers making it, as it must be his Lordship's wish that any well founded complaint should net pass unnot i ced. With regard to the French attendant, she was specially en gaged to tak e c h arge of Miss Byng at all times, as she is not old enough to be left by herself. She accompanies her more in the light of nursery governess than a servant, and cannot be separated from her. The English attendant has been for many years Lady Torrington's housekeeper. I am not authorised to discuss with you any other question you have touched upon in your letter, but I am distinctly to intimate to you that th e t one o f y our recent interview totally failed to convince his Lord. ship that you had not been " wanting i n cour t es y" t o himself and his family, or to m a k e amends for that want of courtesy. His Excellency distinctly appri se d you that until Lady Torrington's female attendants had full access to her upon the quarter-deck, and liberty of moving respectfully but fairly upon the only cool and proper part of the deck for respectable females to resort to, he should not permit either L ady Torrington or his daughter to appear upon the quarter-dock themselves. I have only now to repeat the two requests already named in this letter, and I have further to apprise you that your letter of this m ornin g will be sent h o m e t o the directors, with other documents, and that his Ex cellency is far from satisfied with the tone and spirit of your communication to me.---I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, W. D. BERNARD, Private Secretary, &c. &c. TO W. BE RN ARD gag., PRIVATE ARCEETARY, ETC. S. S. Haddington, Al ay 21 s t, 1847. Sir,—ln reply to your deman d whether or no I have a right to prevent second-class Passengers from coming on the quarter-deck, my reply is that 1 have. In reply to the charge of preventing Lady Torring ton's female servants to approach her at all times, God forbid that I should be so devoid of common feeling to any lady; and you !glow well enough, Mr. Bernard, that such a course was noi. taken by me, or ever will be, on any occasion. Lady Torrington's servants have sat vvbere they liked at all times, and walked at all times when they liked, except at the hours from six to nine in the eveni,.g, when I wish to keep the quarterdeck free for the ladies and first-class passenger s , an d i t i s my intention so to do. In answer to your inquiry wheti,er any ladies have complained, I do not think it necessary to answer such a question.

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The Lords of the Admi ralty commenced their inspection of the dockyard at half•past 10 this morning; on their entrance their flag was hoisted on the dockyard gates, and continued floating during their perambulations. The master shipwright conducted their Lordships over the yard, commencing with an inspection of the Undine steam yacht in dock under repair, their Lordships descended into the dock for the purpose of examining the state of the bottom of the vessel after the experiment of the red led and compo,ition applications. Mr. Hay, the chemical assistant to the master shipwright, explained his part of the business to their Lordships, who were well satisfied with the succ e s s f u l r es ult o f his labours as applied to this and other iron vessels, and ordered him to apply his discovery to the caissons and other iron receptacles connected with the dockyard. From the Undine their Lordships proceeded on board the Ajax ich inspec tion, i b engo l d o nm c ao k psf: itship,nedg Mr. fitting in the adjoining dock between li f w o ha r e r ah y p i ap c : e l an adtl t is h ooa e n n n, cdeexwhwhi which het exhibited d t ; h ,4 e , tathshee ß n cdoeoc successkn oe e nt last ab i s r ot o ao n rfd u t At u nih g ere: snßoulmagk.euern,o numerous late g eg a um t ee questions tsi Leander, toenr as hoi of sir. ir u g. i h l on t the this establishment. Here their Lordships remained some length of time, making a most careful chain, which lead us to hope that she will not be thrust into the ordinary to rot neglected. The skeleton 'of the Princess. Royal, 90, formerly in frame on the design of Sir William Symonds, but pulled to pieces, and now rebuilding on the recommendation of plans furnished by the Committee of Reference on Shipbuilding, at an officially estimated cost of 8,0001. for the alteration (but which, it is said, will cost at least 20,0001. more), was next inspected. Next the Plumper screw-brig,' building on the design of Mr. Fincharn i and-being, armed on the plan of Lieutenant Julius Roberts, wtutxisited, with the ape.; ; ditious building of which their Lordships expressed • both surprise and admiration, as she has been con structed since the last official visit of their Lordships. The Arrogant screw-frigate, of 46 guns, and three hundred horse (auxiliary) power, by Fincham, was also boarded. The Board then made, a perambulation of the new docks and slips, and being joined by Colonel Irvine, C. 8., the director of engineering and architectural works, and Captain James, R.E., director of works in this dockyard, proceeded to a particular inspection of the new steam basin, docks, and factories. On their arrival at the entrance of these works, Mr. P. Rolt, the contractor, specially attended, and had the honour of receiving their Lordships. Lord Auck land soon perceived the very great progress which had been made since his last visit, and was pleased to express to Mr. Rolt the great satisfaction he felt. His Lordship proceeded cross the pier -head and over the north entrance to the west factory, in pass ing through which magnificent building his Lordship expressed much pleasure, and thence examining the Camber double dock, by which striking feature of the works his Lordship's attention was particularly arrested. From this the Noble Earl and his colleagues passed en until they got an entire view of the steam basin, with the factory in front running a length of 700 feet. At this point his Lordship appeared par ticularly struck with the imposing appearance of the whole. On leaving this part of the works the Noble Earl gave a most ready and hearty assent to the Chief Secretary's remark that "it is the most business-like affair he had ever seen." At Mr. Rolt's particular request the First Lord and his colleagues proceeded to view the two north inlets and coffer-dam for the extension sea-wall up the lake to the battery. Not- withstanding the extremely cold and snowy weather, their Lordships' interest in the works was so great that they pursued their inquiries without any regard for their personal comfort. On the party quitting the works, Mr. Rolt assured their Lordships he should be quite ready to open the basin whenever it pleased them to direct him to do sp. The stupendous work, therefore, is complete. It would be well if every member of the Legislature, ere he took his seat at the re-opening of Parliament, were to visit this great national undertaking, so as to make himself practically cognizant not only of its immense importance as a grand receptacle for our war steamers, but also as to the judicious expenditure of the money he votes,fnem the country's resources. These steam adjuncts to our chief ports form the most useful and indispensable ap pliances to "the national defence." The Lords of the Admiralty then inspected the Fairy Royal yacht in dock, the new battalion ar moury, the Prince Regent, 90, Captain Martin, fitting alongside the jetty, and other important objects, with all of hich they appeared perfectly satisfied, and left the yard a little before 4 o'clock, Lord Auckland and Mr. Ward for Alverstoke, to dine pith the Hon. Mr. Bingham Baring, and the other members for the George Hotel, to an early dinner, after which they left for town by the 5 30 train of the South Western Railway. The Powerful, 84, and the Illustrious, 72, the or dinary and depOt ships for this port will not be com missioned until the Ist of February, in order that no trouble may be occasioned by this month being par tially taken into the work, which would derange the hooks, &c. It is rumoured that the Prince Regent " model ship" IA to be paid off, as men do not come forward speedily enough for her to hold out any hope of her being ready by the time her services are likely to be wanted. Out of the whole of the Albion's crew we are informed not one man would volunteeer for the Prince Regent. The Neptune, 120, was unmasted to-day, her lower masts being intended for the Powerful, 84, as being the oldest masts among the advanced ships. The Seaflower cutter, Lieut. Henry Warren, ar rived from Jersey to-day for supplies. The Meander, 44, Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, was paid advance to-day. In Barbour—The Victory, the Excellent, the Vic toria and Albert, the Blenheim, the Prince Regent, and the Seaflower cutter; the Firefly, the Fire Queen, and the Echo steamers. In Dock—The Ajax, the Leander, the Sappho, the Orestes, the Fairy, and the Undine. In the Basin—The Britannia, the Retribution, the Kite, the Swallow, and the Rocket. At Spithead—The Meander and the Stromboli. Wind E.N.E., fresh breezes and thick weather, with continuous snow. Five P.M.

The following is !an extract from a letter by an officer of the Royal Artillery engaged in the Kafir war : " Fort Hare, Eastern Frontier, Nov. 18, 1847. " I received your letter of the 21st of July, which afforded me the greatest pleasure, as it reminds me that there is civilization somewhere, which perhaps I might otherwise forget, seeingnothinghere butthings the most savage. " Inimediately Sandilli gave himself up proceedings were taken to reduce Pato, the other rebellious Kafir chief, whose dominions are across the Kei River. A patrol was ordered, consisting of the Cape Mounted Rifles, two companies of the 91st, and a demi battery of artillery. Hill and myself were agai9 on the move with the demi-battery, and left this on the Ist of November to join Colonet Somerset's camp on the Deke flats, about twenty-five miles from here. We left there on the 3d of November, it was raining as usual. I was riding one horse; and had another with my patrol tent, some grub, brandy, &c. On the morning of the sth of November we came to the banks of the far-famed Kei. No enemy had yet made his appearance, but we now saw on the rocks on the other side about 2,000 Kafirs and the hills covered with cattle. The Kei, from the heavy rains, had become a torrent, as is always the case here ; so fast do the rivers rise that I have walked dry-footed over one in the morning, and at night, without_there being any rain where I was, but from the rain in the mountains, it has become impass able eveii,fOr horses. " Here we were, then, with the enemy in front, taking long shots at us ; lots of cattle to tempt a cross ing, but the river impassable. After finding a place we could ford, Colonel Somerset ordered the Cape Mounted Rifles to cross ; Hill to unlimber, and fire from the bank ; I, with the drivers of the guns to disen gage their horses, to cross with the Rifles, and act as Light Dragoons. lean tell you there are more pleasant things than crossing a river running 111 a good pace on horseback. All the time your horse is not out of his depth he is stumbling about over great atones or sinking in the mud, and, when swimming, the motion, to gether with the water about your legs 'and underneath you, produces a giddiness very similar to sea-sickness. The whole of my party got across safe; one man had his sword- belt cut in two by' a ball. The Rifles were not so successful; one man was knocked off his horse, another, his horse becoming unmanageable, was car ried down the stream, and getting ashore some 200 yards below us, bad his 'throat cut very dexterously by the Kafirs, who immediately appropriated his horse, &c. The Kafirs retired into the bush as we advanced. " I now saw my man, who was mounted on a troop horse, and leading my pack horse, struggling is the stream, not being able to manage the two. The Kars commenced popping at him ; to save himself, there fore, lie had to let go my horse, and I had the plea sure of seeing him, my tent, and all the little comforts for the patrol, carried down the river ; the only part the Kafirs would care about were the brandy and grub. " The Kafirs commenced very pluckily' at first, calling out they were all ready, and for us to come on, but we soon sent them running, killing 14 of them. Two men of the Cape Mounted Rifles were killed, nod one of my men had an assegai through his arm. We then made good use of our time, and captured about 2,000 head of cattle. We encranped, at least those who had tents, on the banks of the river. "Next morning three of Pato's councillors came in to talk of peace. It is a very fine thing to hear these fellows talk ; they will go on for hours, never being in want of a word. They commence in a very low tone, and gradually getting excited talk louder and louder, suiting their actions to their words. In this interview Numbs, one of their chiefs, got into a fix by a question Colonel Somerset put to him, and was hesitating what to say, when Kona, one of the minor chiefs, got up and spoke to give Namba time to consider. Colonel Somerset said, Who is that speaking ?' Upon being told, he said. Tell Kona I consider him a minor chief, and to hold his tongue.' The answer of Kona was—' Tell the great captain it is not Kona that is speaking, but the heart of Pato.' These fel lows are a complete set of lawyers, and one young chief I think was the handsomest man I ever saw. When you get acccustomed to it I think the dress becomes► them, the blanket hanging round the shoulders, their necklaces of tigers' and lions' teeth, and ivory rings round their arms. " Suspecting that Marta, one of the chiefs who came in, had my horse, &c., I got the interpreter to tell him that the great captain would liste❑ to him more favourably if he gave up my horse and pack saddle. He looked at me in a very condescending manner, and said, What does the man want ? Tell him I came here to talk of peace and war, and not of old saddles and horses.' We came to no terms however. " We encamped on the banks of the Kei, and lived the usual rough life for a week, at the end of which time not a Kafir nor head of cattle was to be seen; and now comes the most disagreeable part of m) story. " Not having seen anything of the Kafirs for a week, we had suspected they bad retired up the country, and taken all the cattle, Sze. But not a bit of it, they were close to us all the time. On the night of the 14th a sentry placed over tie; horses at grass was murdered, and seven horses stolen, my only remaining one amongst the number, all of them being officers' horses. We were on the spoor, or track, of them the next day, but after five hours' tracking we lost it in the high grass. Coming back hot as furnaces and smothered with sand, the 73d fellows proposed a bathe in the Kei, and this is the most marvellous escape I ever had. The fellows had been laughing about people not being able to swim, so I made an ex cuse for not going with them to the Kei, it being out of my depth. Those who went were Captain Baker, Lieut. Faunt, Ensign [lurnop, and Dr. Campbell, of the 73d, and Dr. Loch, of the 7th Dragoon Guards. i,,went to bathe in a little stream close to our camp, and when I came hack to tine camp, after talking to the officers a short time, we thought it time the other officers should have returned. We went down to see whether any accident had happened, and as a precaution took a guard of the Cape Corps. On proceeding to the banks of the Kei, we found the whole of them with their throats cut and mutilated in the most dreadful manner. You may imagine our horror at finding five men who had been living with us day and night, and whom I had not left two hours, thus suddenly pounced upon by these infernal rascals and brutally killed. The Kei was not three-quarters of a mile from our camp, but some bush permitted the approach of the Kafirs with out being seen. If I had been a swimmer I should certainly have been one of the number, a lthough I snould not at the time have cared much about it, being so disgusted at the loss of both my horses,,&c.; but such is the fortune of war. Baker and }aunt were two excellent fellows, and as good-natured and obliging as any men I ever met. - " Several patrols have been sent into Pato's and Creilli's country, of the dangers of which I have not partaken, being brit do combat for want of horses. I remember when in England hearing people talk about the Kafirs being like a lot of sheep, and as easily killed; I wish sane of those talkers were here, and had to deal with them a few months. To-day it is wretched here. When I arrived yesterday the wind blowing as if out of a furnace, the sand in dense masses, and the heat 105 deg. in the shade ; the sand and the heat together are intolerable."

The Vivid steam• packet will be launched from this yard on the 7th of next month. PRICE and PURIFICATION of GAS. Yesterday a special meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers tor the city of London took place at the Guildhall, upon the references to inquire into the price of gas generally, and also for the purpose of receiving important information from Mr. Leslie, one of the members of the Metropolitan Sanitary Coln mhiSion, who had consented to attend the board in order to communicate to them the nature of the improvements which were taking place under his superintendence in several of the departments of the Government. Deputy Peacock in the chair. In answer to a question from Mr. LESLIE, Mr. DAW, the chief clerk to the Commissioners, said the City consumption of gas in the public lamps cost between 11,000/. and 12,0001. a year, and that the gas supplied t o the p r i sons o f N ewga t e , Giltspur street, Whitecross-street, and Bridewell, was not included in that charge, the expenditure of the article in these places being defrayed by the City under the head of paving and lighting ; neither had the Com missioners anything to do with the su pply o f g as _t o any buildings whatever. There were -2,700 lamps lighted with gas ander the authority of the Commis sioners. _ . Mr. Liar said the effect of the s improventaid...:— which he recommended would be, to increase, in an essential manner, the illumination, and to render the gas innoxious to health, by taking out all its impuri ties. The first public experiment made by him as to the illumination, had been effected under the authority of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, in the Queen's-walk, in the Green-park, where he had fixed his burners to 18 of the lamps, which were 90 feet apart, end consumed 4f feet per lamp per hour. The contrast between these lamps and the others lighted upon the usual plan, was most palpable. It was only necessary for the Commissioners to trust to their own eyes. The next experiment was made by him at the Post-office, perhaps the largest affair of the kind in the world. His burners were as yet but partially in operation in that establishment, but they would completely supersede the old system in a very short time. Mr. LAWRENCE asked whether the gas consumed in the Post-office was purified, and what might be the sanitary effect of the purification ? ' Mr. LESLIE said that nearly all the offices in the establishment were lighted by his apparatus for purifying as well as illuminating, and, as to sanitary results, there was not the slightest smell in any of them, as the Commissioners could easily ascertain. The saving to be accomplished by the adoption of his plan would amount, per week, to at least 54,000 feet, and yet he found that throughout the various com partments there was too much gas. The illumination was powerful, and there was no smell—two effects, of which many persons who were capable of seeing and smelling could adequately judge. Mr. LAWRENCE—You consider that we could, bo u p thee l d r y ccyleoon3suteir. ro.i p ef r i ist o shE c ces e hL s ma s r , Ereg l e i ets g ia h nti hgd t a : nh h ce e bwsn s et a t: int e deo e ed t wr s a ' t b o phi f aayy: t h ?mt e hoe C r e i s t ; a y vain a n d t g 2 3 per be more likely to be 50 per cent. than 25 per cent. A street lamp should burn 3,480 feet per annum, and he would produce as good a light, by the application of his burners to the public lamps, as those at present exhibited, at less than three-fourths of the quantity of gas. For the purification of the gas—which purifica tion would, there could not exist a doubt, be required universally in a short time—he should require to fix the apparatus in the company's preinL , es ; but as re garded the combustion, his burners alone would be calculated to effect the necessary improvement in the quality. In answer to questions from Mr. Harrison and other members of the board, Mr. LESLIE gave a scientific description of his mode of accurately the exact amount of light in which his process differed from that. which we have been long accustomed. For his burners his charge was seven shilling each, the sum paid by the Government, the parish of St. James's, and in fact by all parties who had determined to adopt his process, after having seen the results of the experiments which had been made. Mr. LAwaENcE, asked what Mr. Leslie thought the Commissioners of Sewers ought to be able, on an average, to make and supply gas for to the public, if they made it themselves? Mr. LESLIE answered—Three shillings for every 1,000 cubic feet, and that charge would include every cost of plant, roams, &c. The materials he used in the process of purification absorbed all the deleterious and offensive parts of the gas. , A MEMBER OF THE BOARD—WouId the deposit be valuable after the purification takes place ? Mr. LESLlE — Certainty, to a considerable amount. Mr. HARRISON—Can you, without purifying, lower the price of illuminating ? Mr. LESLIE—Yes. But purification must be adopted. The benefits of purification are so great that it is quite impossible to argue upon the confirm. time of the impure state of the article in any case. If you have 2,700 public lamps in the City, that number would demand a supply of 13,500 feet per hour for the whole. Your gasometers, two of which you should hare, and that number would be sufficient for you, should have in each of them six hours' stock of gas. A space of forty feet diameter would be suffi cient to build them in. The purification would render the glasses much less liable to damage. In fact, by and-by purification will be the indispensable attendant of illumination by gas. Ihe CHAIRMAN—Are the two companies, the Chartered Gas and the City Gas Companies, who supply us aware of these facts which you have stated to us ? Mr. LESLIE—Yes, as well as I am. Mr. LAWRENCE—Are they aware of these effects which you have stated to us ? Mr. I,Esux—Certainly. Mr. LAWRENCE—Which of them supplies the Post office ? Air. LESLIE—The City Gas Company ; but they will make it themselves at that establishment before long. The whole interior of the building will be lighted in the course of next week, according t o th e improved process of illumination and purification The gas lighting of the Post-office used to cost from 3,0001. to 4,0001. a year, and I have undertaken to save them a thousand a year at least. The CHAIRMAN and Board returned thanks to Mr. Leslie, and the Commissioners adjourned. AR EASY DEATH FOR PORlERS.—Judging from the noise they make, pigs have no particular penchant for the butcher's knife, and the loudness of their protest is a nuisance to all concerned and to all the neighbour hood. It appears that henceforth the swinish multitude may be enabled to die with more dignity and decorum, and this by means of the new anaesthetic agent, chloro form. The Halifax Guardian thus decribes the first instance on record of a pig's dying, more patrium without making any fuss about it:—" Christmas is a fatal period for pigs, and right glad no doubt would the majority of the grunt creation' be to quit existence upon more agreeable terms. Well, thanks to the invention of the age, a more desirable transit into nonentity has been effected, for the other day, Mr. Horace Watson, druggist, of the respectable village of Laceby, near Grimsby, wishing to give his 'greasiness as little uneasiness' as possible, en route to the salting tub, caused our friend the butcher to administer through piggy's monstrous nostrils quantum sufficit of chloroform. natu rally fond of sleep, was soon in the land of forgetfulness, when our hero in the 'blue frock' very c onvenientl y extracted the requisite portion of vital fluid from the fountain of his existence, apparently not a the s leaving the pig , after being oalded, cut up, and salted, whi t wiser for what had passed." REPEAL OF THE WINDOW TAX. — Yesterday by the v ar i ous Yesterday a large metropolitan me ti ngpoafritshheesdettgk place at at the Court-house, Idarylebone, to con fer u p on the propriety of petitioning the Government for a total and immediate repeal of the window tax . Several gentlemen addressed the meeting, and a resolution was unanimously adopted, " that a de putation be appointed to wait upon the Chancellor of the E xc hequer, at his earliest commie*, for the purpose of pressing upon his attention the necessity of an imme diate repeal of the window duties." It was further re solved, " that the chairman (Mr. George Daniell) be re quested to draw up a memorial to the Government, that communication be forwarded to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to knory when he will be pleased to 'receive the deputation ; that three delegates be appointed from each metropolitan parish to form a deputation, and that all the metropolitan Members of Parliament be requested to join it." _ CANNIE YORICSIIIRE.—A Yorksbireman meeting with a friend in London, the following conversation took place between them :—" Sad times," said the Yorkshire man, " how dun you come on here in Lunnon ?" " Very bad," replied the other ; "an honest man has no chance to live now-a-days." " Ay," says the Yorkshireman, " but we mixes it a l?it in our country." ._..~.: 11 have beeome Claims. Sum lasured
