A FACT FOR THE FIELD. number of sportsmen, like " birds of a feather," One day after shooting, were dining together, And I needn't to say they were all rather merry, As they sat after dinner, enjoying their sherry. Such indeed was the case, and In style did they go on, With toasts and with anecdotes, ditties, and so on. Now one of the company happened to be A quick-witted gentleman, something like me ; And the host said he trusted it would need no persuasion, If he asked for a song on the very occasion. So the poet requested a writing utensil, And at once set to work with his paper and pencil, And in live or ten minutes, or hardly so ling, The sportsman AN produced ORIGINAL SONG. The warrior bold, in days of old, Might sing if his sword and his shield ; But the man of the sport, would sing as he ought, • Of the Coat that he wears In the field.

A PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION for the Benefit of Mr. CHARLES HUNT, the original projector and founder of the Commercial Gas light and Coke Company, in 1831. Mr. Hunt having done a public good, and been the means of re ducing the price of Gas to consumers throughout the Metropolis from 95 per thousand cubic feet to Gs. per thousand cubic feet, therefore doing away with the long-existing monopoly, and in removing other grievances from his exertions the Gas consumers are now enjoying the benefits. A meeting •f the Gas consumers and others of the metropolis has as been held at Mr. Stebbing's, Blue Anc hor Tavern, Stepney, for purpose of taking into consid.ration the strong claims of Mr. Charles Hunt, the original projector end founder of the Commercial Gas light and Coke Company in 1836, it was unanimously resolved: — That Mr. Hunt being the original projector •of the Company, and through his exertions the price of Gas has been greatly reduced, and having established his claims by the production of manuscript and printed documents, whereby Mr. Hunt and his infant family has been reduced to a state of great poverty in consequence of his long and severe illness, also his late acciden', a Public Subscription for the benefit of himself and family bo immediately entered into. Through his making the reduction in the price of - Gas, be has been out of employ for Six Years. A Committee was formed to carry out the objects of the meeting, ad Mr. Robertson, of the Queen atherine, Ratcliffe, and Mr. Steb bin ngs, of the Blue Anchor Taver C n, Stepney, were appointed Trea surers. Mr. Hunt has strong claims on the gratitude of the Gas consumers of the metropolis, who are now paying only one-half the original price of Gas. Subscriptions received by the Treasurers , Mr. Robertson, Queen Catherine, Ratcliffe, and Mr. Stebbings, Blue Anchor Tavern, Stepney. Copy of a Letter to Mr. Chas. Hunt, from J. H. Pollock, Esq., Solicitor to the Company when it was first formed. (Published by Permission.) 4, Sambrook-court, Basinghall-street, July 9, 1842. Sra,—l have received your letter of yesterday's date, and have no he.itation in answer, to state that you were the projector of the Commercial Gas-light and Coke Company ; having consulted me some time previous to its formation, with a view to my seeing the gentlemen, who afterwards became the orleinal directors ; and to enable me to do this, you furnished me with a series of calcula tions, accompanied by plans of the district, and an estimate of the outlay and rental, as the basis on which the Company should be es tablished. After my explanation to Messrs Goldie, Lamont, Henry, _lifeathorn, Wilton, and others, it was decided that you should pro requision from the inhabitants, being Gas consumers in the strict, which you succeeded In doing, signed by a very large num skier, for about 11,01.11. rental, before the project was entertained, 10:101s.docuuse 'eve, is in existence; and in contemplation of umsotarNyikknt,xou posted a ll the usual notices, and rendered an amour/ Mai the Committee dedneted sums actually paid by you. The prospectus first issued was prepared by you, subjected to several alterations by different directen s, and I have pleasure in bearing testimony to your zealous and indefatigable conduct in the sale of shares, the subscriptions on which you duly accounted for to me, and generally in promoting the objects of the Company ; your accounts were audited by a Committee appointed by the directors, some of the present directors being then in office, viz. : —Mr. Butler, Mr. Lecesine, and also Mr. Goldie and Mr. Lamont ; they were ap proved by such Committee, subsequent to their deduction, which de ductions I consider improper, because they were actual payments ; independently of which, you posted all the original bills, advertising the formation of the Company, and distributed prospectuses in the district, to the extent of 8,000 at least, for doing which I know, per sonally, that you were at an expense which was not charged by you to the Company. I regret that circumstances should have rendered it necessary for you to apply to me, as although I may be the only person willing to vouch to the above facts, nevertheless the directors above-mentioned, I am sure, will not fail to bears estimo ny to all which obediently have stated. am, Sir, yours , (Signed) J. 11.

A A . a One half the wend are desolately single , and the other Imposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a tense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em .itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea .f caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret tin omprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, sod broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness utcl social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set lement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item n the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Bligkted hopes or , eglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfbrtune.

Manning and Mackintosh, in pressing the claims of the bondholders on the Mexican Government. The meeting was fully at tended. Mr. G. R. Robinson, M.P., was in the chair. After the secretary, Mr. Godfrey, had read the adver tisement calling the meeting, The CHAIRMAN rose and said that the committee had thought it expedient to assemble the bondholders in con sequence of Mr. William Parish Robertson having made a proposition to them which was considered to be of importance. Mr. Robertson was a member of the committee, and had offered to proceed to Mexico, and to assist the agents in enforcing the claims of the English creditors upon the Government. The chair man then read Mr. Robertson's letter, in which that TERlLlTY.—Whatever is unproductive is with - LY out intrinsic value. Man and his Maker alike condemn that which " yields no fruit," and we find large tracts of land abandoned for the same reason that caused the barren fig tree to be cursed. This curse clings to Sterility in every shape ; it brings upon the earth famine. But the malediction breathes loudest and deepest into the oar of those of the human Lace who remain childless in a community which must altogether fall, without continual additions. Not only do such encounter the silent scorn or pity of their fellow creatures, but their own hearts condemn them ; wealth brings no consolation to the wifeless bosom—brings no return for the childless home. It Is a remarkable fact that the uuproduCtiveness of soil and species arises from similarity of cause. Some lands are the produce of vitiated strata that yields an offspring as unhealthy as itself. Others nurture in their juices the poison of minerals, which form the foe to vegetation. Others again lose value by being too early worked, before they are fit for cultivation, Some soils, originally fertile, become barren by excess of tillage; others are spoiled by unwholesome manures ; and others, again, by the want of perseverance and nerve In the husbandman. Mark the ana logy ! Man also is too often vitiated by the parent from whom he springs. Man is too often ruined by the indiscriminate use of mine rals, such as mercury, &c. Man also tries his constitution too early, and wertacks it too late. Man, by unwholesome contact can also in fect his frame; and, to render the comparison complete, man can resider a naturally vital constitution unproductive through ignorance of his organization and diffidence in his powers. Nor does the analogy cease here.. The detriments to cultivation above detailed have been recently so entirely overcome by modern improvement in agricul ture, that farmers are now enabled to produce crops almost from stone itself; and, in like manner, Sterility in the human race is now removable through the profound discoveries in physic which enlighten the present age. In testimony of this, a volume has recently been produced which fills the heart with hope and is calculated to remove Sterility altogether. It is from the pen of Messrs. J. L. CURTIS AND CO., Consulting Surgeons, 7, Frith. street, Soho-square, London, and bears the title of " MANHOOD: The Causes of its Premature Decline, with Plain Directions for its Perfect Re storation ;" and is sent by W. STRANGE, bookseller, 21, rater noster-row, London, post-paid, in a sealed envelope, by initial or to any address, for 2s. 6d. in postage stamps, secure from observation. By order, R. CROMBIE, Sec. gentleman merely asks for the payment of his expenses, estimated at 5001, but states that, fee the interest of the bondholders, it might be advisable to place, in addition, some further amount at his (Mr. Robert son's) disposal, and the compensation for his exertions should be left to the bondholders, dependent entirely upon their success and issue. The chairman then went on to state that it had been thought proper to consult the feeling of the present agents, Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh, and it bad been ascertained from a partner of the house, who was in England that it would not be disagreeable. There had been certainly a little differ ence of opinion in the committee as to the expediency of sending out a special representative, but the majority were in favour of such a course. Although the meeting was called specially to consider the propriety of accept. ing Mr. Robertson's proposition, it was also assembled under very peculiar circumstances, seeing the altered state of things in Mexico, arising from the conclusion of the war. -It might naturally be supposed that as the war was concluded something would have been done for the bondholders, especially as the indemnity of 15,000,000 dollars -had been partly received. It was thought that this payment would give them a still stronger claim on the Mexican Government, and yet the Mexican Consul had stated that thcro wa. nn inten tion to apply any portion of the American indem nity to the payment of the arrears of dividend ; in fact, that the bondholders had no claim on any portion of it. When the committee received this extraordinary communication, they thought it important immediately to notice it. Senor Mora states that " There is no right to demand, nor is it convenient to grant, the application of the said sums to the payment of the dividends, and to the amortization of the public debt. Not the first, because it was a clause and special condition of the last convention, agreed to by the bond holders, to renounce the mortgaged territory which previously existed for the payment of its creditors ; nor the second, because the possibility of payment arises from the very existence of the Government and its solidity, and neither the one nor the other could be rationally expected from an exhausted treasury, in.. capable of maintaining in it the vital principle and the conditions of its existence. Moreover, the means of payment and the guarantees of the same exist, and are stipulated for in the bonds issued, and amongst them mention is not made, nor could be made, of an indein nification which did not and was not likely to exist. Thus, according to M. Mora's code of morality, the suffering bondholders who have been deprived of their just claims for years past, have no right to any por tion of the indemnity, whi c h o f course wa s not s p ec ially mentioned in th e conditions o f the last conversion, simply because prior to the Americ an war it could not have been thought of. He (the C hairman) could not have believed that any gentleman in the p osi• tion of M. Mora would have put forth such a monstrous doctrine. He was totally wrong in asserting that the bondholders had relinquished their claims on the terri tory of the Republic; for so careful had the committee ever been in this respect not to compromise the position of the creditors, that they never abandoned the claim originally given upon the whole revenue and resources of the Mexican nation. It was not enough for the Mexican Government to apportion the Customs dues, the tobacco revenue, the charges upon the export of silver, &c., for these were only accepted in the hope of the remittances being regularly ,made, and n o t t o the exclusion of the claim upon the entire revenues of the country. He (the Chairman) did not mean to question the policy of Mexico purchasing peace at the expense of territory, but supposing New Mexico and California had been retained, the bondholders would assuredly have had a claim upon the territory. It might as well have been said by the Go vernment, had the whole of Mexico been disposed of, " We won't pay a shilling." The committee had not been idle. As far back as the 7th of April haat, it had called the attention of Btessra. Itianniug knd Mackintosh to the probability of peace, and to the neces sity of looking after the claims of the bondholders, and in the following terms:—"ln regard to the important subject on which the committee pressed in their last let ter,—via., a share in the indemnity to be paid by the United States to Mexico, they have no doubt you will n keep i in view, and bring clearly be fore the G o v ernment mortgagee,mitt trust that, indepen i. dently of other grounds on which the y e e. (in thi s case) the British to the amount of that indemn it y , as holdin g a s p e cies of the undoubted right of the of the Republic.

On these and all o ther p oin ts relating to th e Thethe cot bondholders' interests, the committee rely with confidence on your doing all in your posVer on their behalf." Again, in July, they urged the same points , in a still mo re di rect and special manner, observing that:_,, Intelligence having now been received here of the final ratification of th e treaty between Mexico and the United States, the committee the committee cannot omit taking the opport • unity of again pressing on you their earnest hope, that the arrange.. ments pointed out in their last letters will be ma de by the Mexican Go vernment without del ay , The committ ee d o ubt not that, before t h is le t t er reaches yo u , joi u w ill have communic ated with the Governme nt on this subject. Th e bondholders confi dentl y look to your val ua bl e co operation in enforcing on the Mexican GovernMent the performance of -the obligations entered into by them the settlement of the debt, in J une , 184 6. It is quite true, that the war which has intervened must have de prived the Republic of a considerable portion of its re venue; but this, it is to be presumed, w il l be fully com pensated by the indemnity money pay able under the treaty of peace. The internal resources of the country do not appear to have been impaired by the war. It seems, on the contraay, that the coinage of the prin cipal mints in the interior has experienced a consider able increase. The custom-houses of Vera Cruz and Tampico being now, in pursuance of the treaty, restored to the Mexican authorities, the committee expect that immediate measures will be taken for resuming the monthly remittances of the as signed portion of the duties. lie (the Chairman) read those letters, to show that the committee was doing its duty, notwithstanding the anonymous letters received, but be made great allowance for the privations and even distress occasioned to many parties by the suspension of the dividends. Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh had written to the committee in reply, to the effect that they had received most positive assurances that the Mexican Government were at the conclusion of the war disposed to take into consideration the just claims of the bond , holders, and the committee were in consequence led to PARIS and LYONS RAILWAY. CI'S. DEVAUX and CO. have the honour to inform the hareholders that the French Government has decreed that holders of Shares who may not have accepted the option •f paying up 250 f. 00c. per Share (entitling theta to 25f. 00c. per annum, Rentes five per cent.), can, by depositing their Shares at the Company's Office, at Paris, •n or before the 15th instant, avail themselves of the said option.

That our readers may be in possession of all the information which has reached us, we make the following extracts from letters before us : " Caledon River, April 27. - . - - "I bear a great many rumours about Andries Preto rius, but cannot place arty confidence in them. Ono states that about the 15th proximl we may expect him here, with three or four hundred Boers, armed to the teeth, and accompanied by eight or ten thouiand of Panda's people, vehohave engr.ged to assist in the extir pation of all J3rleisle subjects on this side of the border. It is also said that Mosbesh will join with his people. This last I know to be false. Alosttesh is too wary to allow Lir::sea' to be caught in any trap of the 1:ty log. if even he wera not honourable enough to keep his . . engagcm tit with Sir Harry Smith Ido no believe that Moshesh will swerve ot:e jot from his agrouni . ent. His ogle or some of them might try, but were they to do so it would arise from igooranee or f, , ar, rather than from any ill feeling towards the English or love towards the Boers. The Governor's last two proclamations have been very efficacious in this part—like a fine shower of rain atter severe drought, to those who have always ad hered to the. Government, and who have been kept in dreal and suspense, through a want of decision on the part, of those to chow they have looked up. I was present at two moetirgs a few days back, convened for the purpose of reading and explaining the Gover nor's proclamation. One or two showed signs of dissatisfaction, having determined previously to find fault ; but this was easily got over, and every one was constrained to say that what the Governor had promised and also what he had performed entitled him to their perfect confidence. Some endeavoured to raise doubts as to his future intentions. An idea was preva lent. that the Boers were to pay 2001. and 3001. a year to tho chiefs besides the taxes, but this being explained in terms of the proclamation, all expressed themselves satisfied. What think you of a rumour being afloat and generally credited, originating in the proposed statue of Sir Harry Smith, that au image is about to be set up in all the churches in the frontier towns, which we are expected to fall down and worship. It was rife among them that some had been compelled • to sign their names as assenting to it. This was mentioned to me at one of the meetings by ono of the disaffected, and on my explaining to all the real facts of the case it gave great satisfaction, as many present believed they were to be compelled to fall down and worship the image which 'the governor Wes about to set up. Really th.t.se poor people are as much to be pitied as blamed." The same hand, writing from Bloem Fontein, under date May 3, observes:— " lam happy to inform you, from all I can learn, that all appears to be quiet to the north card. Neither Mr. O'Reilly nor Mr. Buidulph have arrived, though we hear they were at Colesberg last week. A gaol is com menced here ; but I hope it will be long before it is needed. Kijor Warden is ready to start cn the land commission business, and he expects that this work will occupy him for six, if' not twelve mouths." Another correspondent, writing from the same quarter, under date May 13, says : " The weather has been very severe —continued rain with hail-storms. The Orange River has been very high, and the float sunk, and great delay has been occa tioned in crossing. I am most grieved to inform you that intelligence has been given by a very respectable man from Winberg to the effect that, from the moment the British Commissioner enters that territory, all the Boers are to assemble in camps (lagers); and that, in pursuanceof that order, many have actually so assembled themselves in two lagers near the Drakenberg. It is said that everything is conducted with the greatest secrecy, none being told when summoned for what ob ject they are called together. Some suppose that Pre torious is collecting this force for the purpose of attack ing the Basoutas, under Moshesh, and if successful to make off with the booty to beyond the Vaal River. However, be his intentions what they may, they are cer tainly not of a pacific character towards the British or any of their allies. There are many superior well-con ducted men in these parts, all of whem are on the aide of the British; but the great mass of the people are so deplorably ignorant and illiterate, that it is perfect folly to suppose they can be governed by the force of reason alone, or that a British Commissioner and two constables can maintain the peace of that extensive country, as well as counteract the designs of a turbulent and unprincipled man like Pretorious. Mr. Commissioner Biddulph is now with Major Warden, at Bloem Fontein, the Major intending to proceed with the Commissioner to his des tined post. Mr. Commissioner O'Reilly had not reached the Caledon, but the people there are well disposed, and will give him a hearty welcome." A — correspondent writes as follows, from Burghers Dorp, under date May 25 " Information arrived here yesterday from over the Orange River to the effect that proclamations had bees circulated by the sell-styled Commandant-General An dries Pretorius, purporting that he had mustered up wards of 1,000 Boers, together with a number of Zoolas and Basoutus, and that it was his intention to defy Sir Harry Smith to carry into effect his proposed govern ment of that country. In these proclamations he re minds, it is said, his c,.untrymen of their past grievances, telling them to take courage, that he now perils his life in their sers ice, and that he is !determined to establish their independence., or perish in the attempt. Ile states that he hal formed, 4 aQDQt an the, otber side ( if_ Win - berg. It is asserted thatmajor vr araen has test it ne cessary to fall b ick to Phillippolis. Pretorius has or dered every vestige of the foundation-stone of the church laid by Sir Harry Smith to be removed, and threatens those who will not join him with expulsion to beyond the Orange River. Several waggons with flocks and herds have already passed into the colony."

It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired la early life or from the folios of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so requently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, AUGUST 28.—The French steamer Hellespont, Rostand Company, will leave this evening, and this al lows me to supply a few items of news that have reached since my last dispatch. Her Majesty's steamer Merlin, to be employed on the Marseilles or Alexandria line, as occasion may require, arrived here on the 25th inst. The Volcano steamer left this port last evenino. for Athens, where she will, dit on, relieve the Meteor steamer. The American steam-frigate Princeton arrived here on the 26th inst. She brings dates from Naples 21st ; Palermo 23d; and Messina 25th inst. The Hibernia, flag of Sir William Parker, and Queen, 110, were lying off Naples when the Princeton left. The Vengeance had got under weigh the same morning for Castella-Mare, where the remainder of the squadron was at anchor. All was quiet at Palermo. The French squadron under command of Rear-Admiral Trehouard, and con sisting of five line-of-battle ships, arrived on the 22d in stant, accompanied by a large steam frigate, Le Jupiter, 74, was at Ischia waiting the orders of Admiral Baudin, who is fast recovering from his indisposition, and en abled to walk. Her Majesty's steamer Porcupine left Palermo for Naples on the 23d. The Odin steam-frigate remained at the former port. Her Majesty's frigate Thetis is lying at Leghorn. H e r Majesty's steamer Bulldog is lying at Civita Vecchia. Cardinal Ferretti, whose arrival here was formerly men tioned, has returned to Rome. The movements of this dignitary are somewhat mysterious. His departure was as little expected as his arrival, and the cause of his visit kept profoundly secret. PORTSNOUTIL — The Hecate steam-vessel, Commander William Moorman, arrived in Cowes Roads on Tuesday night, at seven o'clock, and cast anchor, the thick weather then prevailing preventing her proceeding to Portsmouth, which anchorage she did not make until six o'clock yesterday morning, where she remained some time under the quarantine flag. She sailed from Malta on the 15th ultimo for Leghorn, where she embarked the Prince and Princess of Parma, their infant family and retinue, and arrived with them at Gibraltar on the 26th of August, where they were most hospitably enter tained by the Governor (Sir Thomas Wilson) until the 30th, when the Hecate sailed with them for England. On arriving at Portsmouth yesterday, the Port Admiral sentiloluutstrhiiosuts voyagers, and his flag lieutenant to wa it u p on the and offer them the hospitality of the Admiralty-house, which, however, their Serene Highnesses gratefully declined, being desirous of ar riving speedily in London, for which destination they started by the express train from Gosport. By the ar rival of the Hecate we hear of the melancholy death of Count de Dagenfield, a naval cadet of the Howe, 120 guns, Captain Sir James Sterling, Knt., which occurred on the passage out of that ship on the 3d of July. The young officer was going aloft into the mizen-top, when he fell down the futtock shrouds on to the rail of the poop, and was instantaneously killed. Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker's squadron was off Naples when the Hecate left the station. Lieutenant th e lion. J. R. M. Byng had joined the Hecate, ex changing with Lieutenant Hamilton, of that ship; and Lieutenant Mildmay of the Thetis fri ga t e , h a d j o i ne d the Hecate, vice Beddingfield, dismi s s e d th ere f rom by sen tence of court-martial. 1-1, , r Majesty's steam-sloop Polyphemus, Commander M'Cleverty, and the French steamers of war, Eclaireur and Rubis, were in Gibraltar Bay when the Hecate came out. The Merlin steam packet arrived at Malta on the 25th ultimo, as the Elecate heard at Cowes, Lieutenant-Colonel M'Adam, late Major in com mand of the Royal Marines se rv i ng on board her Majesty' s ship Queen; First Lieutenant Aslet, R.M., late of her Mrajesty's ship Vengean ce , to ' join the Plymou th Division , as adjutant; and First Lieu tenant Adair, from the Spartan frigate, to join the Portsmouth Division, have come home passen gers i n H the eca ta, and about fifty invalids from theance, 84sqguuandsr,oant.

From a letter received by this morning's post we extract the following account of a destructive fire which took place at Alice Town on the 31st ult., and which appears to have occurred in consequence of some natives being employed in cooking in a small house, used for culinary purposes, which was con tiguous to the commissariat stores : " Alice, June 1, 1848. " Last night this post (Fort Hare) was in a great state of excitement, a fire having broken out in the commis sariat hay stores, close to the powder magazine, between six and seven, P.m. We were hard at work till near one o'clock, A.m., when the fire was prevented from ex tending further. Two long range of buildings are down to the ground, and it is said about 4001. of oat hay burnt. It is still burning, and likely to do so, for another day. Some of the other buildings were immediately unroofed, or the fire would have greatly extended." CONFLICT OF THREE EUROPEANS WITH A KAFIR, IN WHICH THE LATTER WAS MORTALLY WOUNDED. The same post has brought us the intelligence of the death of a Klfir by some Europeans. As the letters which refer to this event were written when the preliminary examinations were going forward, we can only give the perticulars which they supply : "On the night of the 31st ult., a little after nine o'clock, a European came to the house of the resident clerk of the peace, and stated that he had just been assaulted by Kafirs. He appeared severely cutthat d maltreated. On inquiring the part iculars, he saida h when a s ataboutattacked k a mile ed three Ks Alice fi on firs, , andtheithen Fort d eßf other an w u d t o n r g t o read, hriman: self he killed one of t hem, when away. The constable and another person, accompanied by this man, immediately went to the place where the outrage was said to have been committed. The night was extremely dark, but they succeeded in reaching the spot, and after searching some time for the body of the Kafir, the man who reported himself to have been so brutally used, exclaimed, Here he is 1' On approach ing nearer, they saw the body cf a Kafir lifeless in the centre of the road. The constable struck a light with a view to examine the body, but on recollecting himself, being near a dense bush, and unarmed, without knowing the facts of the case, ho immediately extinguished it. After removing the body from the main road to the side of the bush, they returned to give information, and pro cure assistance from the military to bring the body to Alice. " A party of thirty men were sent out, who on the following morning at ten o'clock brought in the corpse on a stretcher, and conveyed it to the office, where a doctor was immediately called in to ascertain the cause of his death. " On the investigation of the case, it appears that the Kafir was barbarously murdered. The Englishman who reported himself to have been attacked by three Kafirs was in company with two other Europeans and this Kafir, and in some quarrel or other they fell upon him and murdered him. Two of th e men are now in custody, and the constable is in search of the third." Another correspondent writes.— " A murder was committed here the night before last by two military settlers. The latter stated that when going to Fort Beaufort the night before last, that they were attacked by three Kafirs, and in self-defence they killed one of the Kafirs . It, however, appears that they took this Kafir (who is murdered) with them from Alice y by these particulars ln to carry their goods , _ and from the exatninations taken it lav pp e e h a o r p s e th t e o K b a e li Kafir e a s to supply i) strangled ply posed on account of about 21. which he had." en' sup posed of this tragical affair next week. THE RECENT FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE LONDON UmvEnsm.—Late last evening, Mr. Mills, the deputy coroner, held a lengthened investigation at the Univer sit)? College Hospital, into the circumstances attending the death of Charles Richard \Vigmore, bricklayer, aged 28, whose death was occasioned by the giving way 9f the scaffolding at the new wing of the University, now in course of erection. W. Wigniore, a brother of the de ceased, was upon the jury. After examining several witnesses, the jury returned the following special ver dict, " That the deceased died from mortal injuries of his body caused by his having fallen with a certain scaf fold, and that the said scaffold did fall and break down owing to the sudden breaking of a certain pole, an d that the said pole was unsound and unfit for use in a,sca ffold, there and broke by means of its decay at a time o when iln calculated was great pressure upon it, such as it was . to sustain and support." The inquiry did n not terminate till twefve o'clock.

Mora's communication, they wrote to Lord Palmers ton; and he (the Chairman) was proud of the opportu nit3. of stating that his Lordship had upon all occasions evinced the most anxious desire to afford his assistance, and had given en assurance that he would call the atten tion of Mr. Doyle, the British Minister in Mexico, to the subject. With the intention of placing the claims of the bondholders upon all revenues in a clearer light, the committee had submitted a case to the Queen's Advo cate and Dr. Phillimore, which, as it was of much im portance, he would read to the meeting:— CASE. " Herewith is sent a Mexican bond (in blank) of the Mexican foreign debt of 10,241,6501., issued in June, 1846, to bear interest from the Ist July, 1846 (see No. 1 of documents left herewith). " No payment of interest has taken place on this debt in consequence of the war between Mexico and the United States of America. " A treaty of peace has been concluded between these two nations, by which Mexico cedes to the United States a certain portion of her territory, receiving in compen sation for the same 15,000,000 dollars, payable in five equal annual instalments, the first of which has been paid. "On the 7th August there appeared in the Times newspaper a communication from M. Mora, the Mexican Minister at this Court, of which a copy is herewith (see Document N 0.2). " The committee of Spanish American bondholders addressed a letter to M. Mora, in reply to this publica tion, of which a copy is herewith (see Document No 3), and M. Mora replied thereunto, of which a copy is here with (see Document No. 4). "Your opinion is requested— " Whether M. Mora is justified in contending on the grounds assumed by him, that the indemnity money in question is not responsible towards the foreign debts of the Republic? " Whether, on the contrary, it be not the case that every source ofrevenue,however derived by the Mexican Government, is responsible for the debt? " And whether, independently of tha altola oasaid.o-, rations, the fund in question is not specially applicable to the foreign debt, on the ground that as the whole of the Republic contracted that debt, the Government has no right to dispose of a portion of the Republic without diminishing a portion of the debt?" 0 PINION. " We think it necessary to state with precision the facts which appear to be admitted by the Mexican Go vernment, in the case upon which our opinion is re quested. " First. In the printed form of the bond on the Mexi can consolidated debt (marked No. 1, of the papers sub mitted to us), we find the Mexican State expressing itself as follows: '' And whereas his Excellency the President ad in terim of the said Republic, in pursuance of the above mentioned decree, did, under the date of the sth of March last, direct the creation of a new Consolidated National Debt, and did hypothecate to the payment of the interest thereof, and the redemption of the capital, the entire revenues of the Republic, and in a special and distinct manner that of tobacco;' and in another psrt of the same instrument, Now, know ye, that I, the said Thomas Murphy, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary as aforesaid, acting herein in the name and on behalf of the said Government of Mexico, and in virtue of the powers and instructions received by me from the said Government, do hereby solemnly promise and engage that all and each of the conditions con tained in the said proposal shall be duly and faithfully observed and kept by the Government of the Republic of Mexico, and that there shall be reserved and set apart the revenues therein specially hypothecated to the pay ment of the interest and redemption of the principal of this new consolidated debt, and that the same shall not on any pretence, in peace or in war, " be alienated there from;" so that the half-yearly dividend on the said new consolidated debt shall be faithfully and punctually discharged, and the redemption fund be duly applied.' " In another part of the same instrument, which bears the impress of the authority of the Mexican State, we find the proposal,' thus solemnly ratified, speaking the following language. In the fifth article, 'as guarantees for thel payment of interest, as well as for the re demption of the said new consolidated debt, the Mexican Republic hypothecates its entire revenues in general, and in an especial and distinct manner that of tobacco.' " In the sixth article, among other provisions, we find, ' and in the event of the said tobacco revenue being found insufficient for that purpose, such defi ciency shall be made good from some of the other branches of the revenue of the said Republic; so that the provision for the payment of the said half-yearly divi dend and redemption fund shall be punctually and faith fully made. " Secondly. It is an admitted fact, that for two years neither interest nor capital have been paid to the bond holders. " Thirdly. It is,an admitted fact that a portion of the territory of the Mexican State has been sold to the Go. vernmeut of the United States, fir which 15,000,000 dolts. are to be paid. " Now, to apply to these premises the legal and equit able conclusions of national justice; " In the first place, we think it clear, looking both to the contrabentium voluntas' and the ipsissima verbs of the agreement, that the ' entire revenues' of the country were hypothecated as a collateral security to the specific sources more immediately and distinctly set apart for that object. " That the contract of the bondholders was made with the Mexican Republic in its entire condition as the ulti mate guarantee, and that whatever act, therefore, of the Mexican State diminished the extent of that territory, pro tanto, weakened the security upon the faith of which the loan was contracted. " In the second place, it appears to us clear that the principal and immediate sources of revenue hypothecated for the payment of the bondholders have failed, and, from the statement of the Plenipotentiary in this kingdom, are likely still to fail, to discharge the burden cast upon them. The cases,' therefore, for which the collateral guarantee was given appears to us to have arisen. " In the third place, the war in which the Mexican Republic has been involved may have been, as sug• gested by the Mexican Plenipotentiary, the reason (though, perhaps, not a strictly valid plea) why she has been unable to discharge her obligations to the public creditor; and the sale of a portion of her terri tory may have been necessary for the preservation of the whole. " There appears to us, however, nothing in these ad missions to exempt the money so received from the lia bility which attaches to the general revenue of the Re public, from whatever source derived. " The constant practice of civilized nations and the highest authority of writers upon international juris prudence warrant us in referring to the written reasons and equity of the Roman law, as supporting most fully the view which we have taken. It is, moreover, an authority to which the Mexican Republic cannot object, as forming the basis of its own municipal jurisprudence. " Lastly, we are acqua i nte d with no princ i ple of inter national law which would justify the Mexican state in distributing the whole of the sum, the price of a portion of hypothecated territory, upon the native, to the ex clusion of the foreign creditor. Justice, the reason of the thing, and all writers of authority, lay down a dif ferent doctrine. " We cannot, th ere f ore , d ou bt th a t th e Me x ican Re public will, as t h e l etter an d sp i r i t o f h er engagemen t appear t o us to requ i re, a ll ot an equ i ta bl e port i on o f th e sum received for the hypothecated territory, as a partial liquidation of the the for e i gn cre di tor . principal and interest of her debt to " J. DOBSON, " R. PHILLIMORE." The opinion, it would be seen, was in favour of the bond holders, upon the whole revenues of the Republic. He (the Chairman) was willing to make all reasonable al lowances for the difficulties of Mexico even before the war, but had always urged the Government of that country not to content itself with mere assertions of na tional faith and honour, without making any decided effort to maintain them. The bondholders had made immense sacrifices upon the first c, nversion, in the hope of securing the future payment of the dividends, and upon a subsequent occasion to relieve the Government, had agreed to a further compromise upon the deferred bonds. Two years had elapsed and they had never re ceived a shilling. There were 106,0001. in the hands of the London agents of the Mexican Government, and the committee, on the suggestions contained in private letters and in the newspapers, had asked Messrs. Schneider to pay a fraction of the dividends. They were then asked to pay the money into the Bank of England in their own name and that of the committee, and this request was made without the slightest idea of mistrust in regard to the respectability of the firm. The application, however, was not complied with, and the ground assigned was that Messrs. Schneider received the money as the agents of the Mexican Government, to which they were bound to allow 4 per cent. interest, although, when they had sufficient funds in hand, they would pay the dividend. He (tbe Chairman) entirely differed with Messrs. Schneider ; they were equally the agents of the bondholders.— (Hear, hear.) The money was set apart in Mexico for a special purpose.—(Hear.) Of what value was it to the bondholders, however, if, when it caine to hand, it was kept back Y—(Great applause.) No gentleman could be aware of the many communications the com mittee received upon this and other subjects, and to all (not sent anonymously) due attention would be paid. — (Hear, hear.) While stating this, he must express his opinion how much the bondholders were indebted to their indefatigable secretary, who had strong claims upon them, but as the committee did not receive anything even towards the necessary expense of advertising. &c.. they had no means of remunerating the secretary for his services, except by the contributions of the bondholders, who, he hoped, would come forward for this and the other purposes already stated to the meeting. If the bondholders neglected to exert themselves now, and al lowed the funds available to go into the hands of the Mexican Government, he was afraid the hopes of di a - vidend would be very far distan t ; but if they supported the committee in protesting ag ainst the manner in which 'their claims had been treated, he was was of opinion they might soon obtain a settlement.—(Hear, hear. In conclusion he would mo ve tbe following resolutions : " That this meeting, referring to the correspondence which has recently taken place between the Mexican Minister at this Co urt, and the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders, desire to express its entire con currence in the protest made by the committee against the tenor of the Mexican Minister's communication of the 29th July. " That it appears to this meeting that the views put forth by his Excellency Senor Mora in the said commu nication are at variance with the first principles of law and justice. " That the Mexican Government being now in receipt of a large sum of money from the Government of the United States is bound, by every obli.zation of national honour and nod faith, to provide for the immediate liquidation of the arrears of dividends due to the bond holders, and for the punctual payment of the same in future. " That it is expedient to dispatch a special commis sion to Mexico, for the purpose of enforcing, in conjunc.. lion with Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh, the agents of the bondholders, the claims of the bondholders on the attention of the Government of Mexico, in order to a speedy adjustment thereof. " That the committee cf Spanish American bond holders be authorised to make arrangements for the pur pose, the expense attending the same to be provided for out of the first dividend to be paid to the bondholders. " That the Hight llon. Viscount Palmerstmi, her Majes ty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, be respect fully requested to instruct her Majesty's Minister in Mexico to suprort the representations of the bondholders to the Mexican Government." Mr. GARDE moved an amendment to the 4th resolu tion ; the substance of which amendment was, that the bondholders petition Lord Palmerston for a direct inter ference in this matter, through our Ambassador at Mexico ; and that, if they were unsuccessful in that, to petition the Queen and Parliament to redress their grievances. He considered that any deputation to Mexico would be useless, and stated that such represen tatives had failed in other instances to which ho could allude. The amendment was not seconded. Mr. LOUDEN asked by what right Messrs. Schneider and Co. held the money of the bondholders ? Mr. POWLES said there was an agreement existing bP- „Wan them and the _Mexican Government, to whom they allowed four per cent. for the money till it came to be sufficient to pay a half-yearly dividend. The same arrangement was made between Messrs. Barings and the Chilian Government. He knew of no fractional dividend being paid, without a large compromise. —(Dis sension.) Sir R. CAMPBELL questioned the utility of sending out Mr. Robertson. Mr. CAPEL thought the plan of sending out Mr. Pa rish Robertson, to urge on the Government the claims of the bondholders, . likely to be most beneficial, as Messrs. Manning and Macintosh were great merchants, and, from their dealings with the Government, would very likely have a delicacy in pressing their claims in the way it could be done by an independent person like Mr. Robertson. He thought it would be judicious to get him to use his influence, at the same time to induce the Mexican Government to place the instalments they send over in future under the control of three separate firms, as was done with the Brazilian money, which was confided to Mr. Alderman Thompson, Sir Isaac Gold smid, and Mr. King, thus hindering the money from getting mixed up in private engagements.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN, after again reading the resolutions seriatim, stated that he quite agreed in the opinion of the several speakers, that the money in the hands of Messrs. Schneider and Co. was virtually the money of the bondholders, and ought to be paid to them, even though it be only a fraction of their dividend.—(Ap plause.) lie was sorry the efforts of the committee to get the amount in the hands of that firm placed in the Bank of England to the account of the bondholders, had been unsuccessful, as they considered themselves the agents of the Mexican Government. The various resolutions having been duly seconded, were passed almost unanimously, there being only five dissentients out of a large meeting. A BONDHOLDER asked what was the amount of the converted stock ? _ The CHAIRMAN stated that it was 10,247,650 dollars; this was the amount now at stake.—(Hear.) A BONDHOLDER inquired if the cotton licenses had been productive? Mr. POWLES said they would be, no doubt, as soon as trade revived. Mr. D. MOCATTA. having regretted seeing the least opposition in a case in which they were all so much in terested, proposed a vote of thanks to their excellent Chairman, on which he expected no difference of opinion, which was seconded and passed by acclamation. The meeting then adjourned. CAPE OF -GOOD HOPE. (From the South African) CAPE TOWN, JUNE 12 The last Gazette contains the several drafts of or dinance which will come under consideration at the ensuing session of the Legislative Council, and among them is that for continuing the powers of the central and divisional boards to levy further rates for ta [Jet 1.711111C11 roads. We had certainly hoped to see some kind of sym pathy or compassion shown to the unfortunate no minal landholders, on whom the whole burden of the tax had been thrown; we had hoped that our rulers would have become convinced of the injustice and inequality of taxing a particular class for the benefit of the whole community ; we had hoped that the pro ceedings of the late meeting of the landholders in the Town-hall would have satisfied the Government that the law was unjustly oppressive, and required modifi cation ; but vain were our hopes. Except an addi • tion, with regard to the appointment of divisional boards for the newly-created divisions, the ordinance is literally the same as the former one, and empowers the boards to levy the rates from the same parties as heretofore. Whether the draft will undergo any alteration after the petition of the landholders of this city shall have been presented to the Council, we cannot say, but it would seem that there is no intention on the part of the Executive to pay any attention to their remon strance ; for had there been any such intention the draft would not have been presented in its present shape, particularly after Government had been made acquainted with the sentiments of the late meeting of landholders through the medium of the press. Why such obstinacy ? Why not enter into the views of the people, who desire that every person shall contribute his just proportion ? Is it because the "convenience" of the Government forbids it to be just? Surely this cannot be, inasmuch as it would be in direct opposition to the liberal spirit inculcated by the parent state. Nor can we believe that his Ex cellency the Governor really meant to continue the un equal burden on the landholders exclusively when he said that he would ask for a continuation of the rate in his " own way ;" if so, we have at least the satisfac tion to know that the gift of prophecy is conferred even in the present day, and that our definition of the above somewhat ambiguous expression on the Bth of May last, proves too correct, and that " my own way," in plain English, means nothing more or less than— " the Central Board requires the rates, and have them they must"—but—from the landholders exclusively! But, will the landholders patiently endure such flagrant injustice ? Will they allow th em selves to be crushed by the will of a Coun cil in which they have no voice ? If they do they w ill deserve their fate. But we expect the contrary; for we are satit fled that- if justice be denied them here they will adopt every constitutional means to obtain it else where, and we can assure them that a petition to the Home Government will not be fruitless, particularly after the lately expressed opinion of Lord John Rus sell on the subject of taxation generally. From accounts received in town it appears that Mr. Biddulph had reached Winburg, and Mr. O'Reilly the Caledon River, both of whom were well received, the people expressing great joy at their arrival. It is also stated that Jan Kok, one of the emigrant leaders, and his people, had denounced Pretorius, and declared themselves in favour of the Government. Ludwigsburg Garden, together with the stock of select plants, lately sold for account of the estate of the late Baron von Ludwig, realised upwards of 3,000/. This, we are given to understand, is about one-third of the amount originally expended on the property. NORTH-EAST COUNTRY.-THE EMIGRANT BOERS.
