Dire:Aron cf tist Corn. P:rly, I am requested to acknowledge the receipt of an Address from a number of Shareholders resident in Liverpool and the neighbour haod.which youhave transmitted to them. The Directors would have been content merely to acknowledge the receipt of the Address, had it not contained an imputation upon them, which they cannot pass over in silence. The Shareholders comqience their address by ascribing the depression of their pro perty to " the want of public confidence in the integrity of the ma nagement." The Directors, therefore, desire that you will immedi ately thrnish them with a list of the specific chsrges involved in this statement, in order that they may convene a Special Meeting of the Company, and, have the opportunity of refuting the accusation thus brought against the integrity of a body of gentlemen who feel that they stand as high in the estimation of the public at large as the in dividuals who have appended their names to this calumnious docu ment, wii7ch comes with a peculiarly bad grace from a body of Share holders who, prior to the appointment of the present Directors, were only receiving a two-and-a-half per cent. dividend. Since that time the dividends have been increased to six and seven per cent. $ 1: . €47: y OCTOBER 26, 1848 • N2,17,499.] LONDON, THURSDAY 7-q 1 w ir ?Am % orti .g.n aAJ d Ita [PE ICE SD.

You call upon the Directors to close the capital account. No person is more fully aware than yourself that the shareholders have had the power of passing a vote to that effect at any half-yearly Meeting. Bat supposing the development of a new traffic, producing a revenue of 20,000/. or 30,000/. per annum, should require an out lay of 60,000/., how absurd it would be to say that such outlay ought to be - taken out of income. 2. You call upon the Directors to examine and pay all outstanding accounts orthe solicitorseThese accounts are now undergoing a strict examination, and as soon as the solicitors are satisfied to accept the amount the Directors think due to them, their bills will be paid. But surely this is a matter which must be left to the discretion of the Directors ; had they given way to the pressure of the Pro prietors when they were urged to settle the demands of the contrac tors, they might have sacrificed a very large sum for the sake of an immediate settlement. They succeeded in making great reductions, and so much was saved to the Company. The claims of the con tractors amounted to 89,5771., and were finally liquidated for 1 7,7231. 153. 7d. Your objection to any further Parliamentary ex penses being incurred, without the sanction of the Shareholders, is fatl'e ; it is clear that no Parliamentary expenses of any importance can be incurred without such sanction. 3. -You call for a reduction of the salaries of our engineers. We have only one engineer employed upon the . lines, and, considering the abilities of that gentleman, the Directors do not think him over paid. 4. Yon require that stations shall not be en'arged. Should traffic increase, how- is it to be conducted without increased accommoda tion? If the Shareholders think the Directors incompetent to decide neon matters of this kind, they had much better remove them, and aPPoint others in whom they have greater confidence. 5. The Directors are called upon to enter into no further contracts. Itinust have escaped your recollection that at the last half-yearly meeting I gave an assurance that the Directors did not intend to engage in any further contracts. G. -You allude to traffic which you do not consider remunerative to the Co mpany. The Directors are entitled to ask you to be more eaPileit, and to state specifically what trafile is meant. 7. You think the number of trains ought to be reduced. This is a question which must be left to the judgment of the Directors ; for nothing can be more difficult than to determine, from time to time, what trains ought to be ran. I consider it would be an unwise and impolitic measure to take off the express train, which you suggest should be done. 8. The alteration you propose in the mode of appointing Directors Would require a new Act of Parliament. 9. Toa ask the Directors to purchase all stores by public contract. I have no doubt you are aware that this is generally done, bat it not unfrequently happens that the Directors can purchase articles in the Market much below the contract price, and when they can do so they . often avail themselves of the opportunity. lh except that answered or commented upon every point o f the ad dress,pt that which relates to the depreciation of the value of shares, with which the Directors feel that they have little or nothing to do. Their duty is to obtain all the traffic they can, and to pay the Shareholders good dividends.: The address you have sent is signed by seventy Shareholders, this is a small proportion of the entire number, which exceeds 8,000. You are a holder of capital stock in the company to the amount of 350 1 e and - you describe you-self in the address as a broker. From Your experience in that business, I have ne doubt you are well able to inform the public how the old railway stock of this company has become so much depreciated. In my position as Chairman of several railway companies, I have received numerous complalning letters, all, I am bound to say, crouched in a courteous and respectful manner; and I have answered them by assuring the parties of the soundness and stability of the concerns ever which I preside. The acknowledgments I have re ceived in reply have been generally satisfactory; many of the parties stating that they were holders of stock in a variety of foreign and other new lines, and that they were compelled to sell the stock of old lines to pay for the hew: Wizen the supply exceeds the demand, and when a' regular combination exists to depress railway property, I believe any course which Directors may pursue will be of little avail. Yet, after all, the amount of stock transferred in tile coin- Pantos over whichl preside has been less than usual, which shows that-many of the quotations of sales are merely nominal. I have no fear of 'not seeing railway property again placed in a better position In the market, thon4h not at the extravagant price it liar heretofore arrived at, and then its proper and true value will - be maintained in a manner that will be more satis factory to all parties. Consols have been at 47, they are now at S4ei, and have been at 100. If you or your friends can, by any effort, advance them to 92 or 93, I have no doubt you will see a great advance in railway property. The Bank Stock has paid 10 per cent., and is now only paying seven, and the price has fallen con siderebly ; bat no one ever doubted the integrity of the management of the Bank. be - surprise to me is, that in. the excitements and commotion which have prevailed, railway traffic has been so well supported. Even the present amount of traffic justifies the anticipa tion that the rate of dividends will not undergo any malarial dlini nada* ; and thih remark applies to all the lines over which I have the honour to preside. I wish I could call the serious and grave attention of the chairman of the London Stock Exchange to a pub lication which is issued weekly, professing to be under the sanction of that b xly. I am.aevare that the statements which appear in that paper aro stated not to be published under the authority of the Stock Exchange ; tut I cannot close my eyes to the effect that they pro duce. 051 tile mind of Mu public, who naturally consider that they have that sanction: - If these statements were correct and true, no person would have - a-right to complain—but when they are almost in every instance incorrect, and their general ten dency is to depregiate railway property, it would be well that the Stock Exchange should disavow a publication which is caleulated to do so much mischief. I must, in con clusion, request that you will call the Requisitionists together, and that there may be no delay in sending a list of the charges im pugning the integrity of the Directors, who are anxious to meet and repel the calumnious imputations that have been made against tketu. Nothing but a sense of duty to the large body of Share holders who have hitherto given their confidence induces the Di rectors to retain their seat at the Board; and as soon as that con fidence is withdrawn they will most readily and gladly resign their trust into ether hands by whom the affairs of the Company may be More ably conducted, . • I perhaps, mighr observe, before - I conclude my letter, without pledging myself to the statement, but merely giving it as my own individual opinion, that I believe another 51. call upon the 50/ shaies, with the arrears of calls now owing, will complete all the works in course of construction, and the remaining 251, per Share will remain applicable to the liquidation of the debt. The liabilities of the Company are under the consideration of the Directors, in order to enable them to lay a statement before the Proprietors, 'which it is anticipated will be done within a very early period.

GIFFORD, Secretary. COTTISH WIDOWS' FUND and LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. Founded A.D. 1815. On the Principle of Mutual Contribution. This Institution, notwithstanding its local name, has long been fa -I.o4rablY known to all classes in Great Britain and Ireland. It is the eWith ldest and Most successful Life Assurance Office in Scotland; and, the exception of the London Equitable, it is believed to be the country e xtensive upon the mutual assurance principle of any in the The affairs of the Society's are carefully Investigated at the end of ' B4ll Period of seven years, and it is ovided by the articles of constitution that at least one-third oft he ascertained surplus or Profit shall be reserved as a Guarantee Fund. This fend (as well as all the other funds of the Society) belongs solely to the members— ,."leelires the stability o f th e I nst i tut i on, and prevents the profits , ro ona being diverted, as mast b e th e case i n all proprietary offices, from the individual benefit of the assured to increase the dividends of the stockholders. At the last septennial period of investigation (viz., 31st December, 5 0 8 f 456)1,400., it was ascertained that the Surplus Fund amounted to upwards from which the Directors were enabled, after setting aside upwards of 204,0001. as a Guarantee Fund, to declare and Provide for the following additions An addition at the rate of Two per Cent. per Annum for the Period from 31st December, 1838, on the accumulated amount of the Original sums assured, and the previously declared additions ; being, in the case of the early insurances, upwards of THREE PER CENT. PER ANNUM. of BONUS on the original Sums Insured. And in order to provide for the case of such parties as might die before 31st December, 1852, the period of the next investigation and decla ration of Surplus, there was provided farther, If. An addition at the rate of Two per Cent. per Annum on the accumulated amount cf the original Assurances, and previously de clared additions, for -each Premium paid after 31st December, 1845, iq provided the, party had at his death been insured five years. Thus the case of a party insured in the early years of the Society's ex istence, dying after payment of the premium for the year 1852, ... t he addition for th e seven years from 31st December, 1845, to 31st D ecember, 1852, would be upwards of 25 per cent., or at the rate of cevrards of THREE AND A HALF PER CENT. PER ANNUM. OP BONUS on the original Sum Insured. The proportion of the profit allocated to each Member may be applied in any of the following ways, viz. : By additions to the original sum insured; By an immediate payment of its value in money ; or, By an equivalent deduction from the future Annual Contributions payable under the Policy. The effect of the additions made to the Policies may Do judged of from the fact, that in the case of the Original Members of the Society, there will be paid, under each 1,0001. insured, in the event of death, after payment of the Premiutn, in the year thus showing a on the 1848 .. 1917 19 10/Bonus equal to ?91 per cent. / original Sum upwards of insured. 1 / 5 0 "n .• 1990 7 5 1 11 52 *• 2062 14 11 106 , To the Representatives of the Original Member, who may die 9the Year 1852, after payment of the Premium applicable to that ar, there will thus be paid MORE THAN DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF THE ORIGINAL halmArica. The members who joined the Society at later periods will, in like *an ner, derive important ben e fits, and the Directors feel confident a I _ l l t the more the principles of the Society aro considered and un tood, the more satisfied will the members be, not only that they Zle connected themselves wick a safe and flourishing institution, 13 tha t Whilst benefits so gre a t a re c o n f e rred upon those who have en long connected with it, the interests of the later members are "' l to Way overlooked.

MEETING of the " MEMBERS" o f a MOST IMPORTANT "BODY." A meeting took place, for I heard and I saw, And what do you fancy this meeting was for? Why the meeting, from all I could gather, was one To decide on the merits of MOSES and SON. The excellent Chairman, Sound Judgment, Esquire, Having said a few words with regard to attire, Mr. Shoulders, a man of respectable note, Wished to make a remark on his WAISTCOAT AND COAT. "I think," said the speaker, "you all ought to view My Waistcoat, my Coat, and my Overcoat, too. I ought to speak warmly of MOSES," said he, " When I see the warm garments they've furnished to me. With this Mr. Legs, arose on his pegs, And declared ho considered himself the mere dregs. " My sabject," said he, " you're aware, is my TROW.SERS, • But, alas! as to speaking, I cannot tell how, Sirs; For the speaker's so had, and the Trowsers' so good, That I cannot praise MOSES and SON as I would." Mr. Head next arose from the place where he sat, And delivered an eloquent speech on his HAT. "I am sure, Mr Chairman." said he, " that I'm right, In pronouncing it stylish, elastic, and light. To the Hat-mart of MOSES and SON I'll adhere As staunchly as ever!" (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") This speaker was foil awed by one Mr. Foot, Who rose with a dignified stamp on his BOOT. "I am certain," said he, that I'm true in declaring The Boots made by MOSES unequalled for wearing ; They are matchless in quarters, in sole, and in vamp." Aid here Mr. Foot gave another loud stamp. Then the Chairman arose, and was happy to find Tim whole of the speakers so much of a mini. "And." said he, "on behalf of the ladies, good Sirs, I feel it my duty to speak of the FURS. If I did not pronounce them the best you could wear, I consider I should not be fit for the chair ; And remember the very low pfices you pay, For these, and for all that you've mentioned to-day. I trust that the whole of the jourtills, as one. Will rep..rt what we've said of E. MOSES and SON." " Hear, hear," said the whole of the gentlemen there, And the business was enned with thanks to the chair. E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their Shooting coats, which possess a peculiar cut and style, adding much comfort in tho it.

More exalted than mere passion, it sears high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its iniluence, er can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power ef LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment ef every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, ho entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of Ulalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the flille.st and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION, illustrated by forty coloured engravinzs on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductiro organs ; with practical observa tions oa the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, or Infection.

WEST INDIAN AND MEXICAN MAILS.. SUIIiIIAAIPTON, OCT. 25. The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company's ship Trent, Captain R. S. Norton, arrived off this port at 4 P.M., with the usual British and Foreign West Indian and Mexican Mails, in charge of Lieutenant Percival, R.N., Admiralty agent. Her dates are—New Orleans, Sept. 26; Tampico, 15; Vera Cruz, 20; Havannah, 30; Nassau, Oct. 3 , Honduras, Sept. 11 ; San Jago de Cuba, 19 ; Ja maica, 22; Demerara, 19; To' ago, 20; Trinidad, 21 ; Barbadoes, 28 ; Grenada, 23 ; St. Lucia, 29 ; Martinique, 29 ; Guadaloupe, 29 ; Dominique, 29 ; Antigua, 30 ; Montserrat, 30 ; N evis, 30 ; St. Kitts, 30; Tortola, 30 ; St. Thomas's, Oct. 1 ; Bermuda, 10. The Trent experienced very bad weather in the Gulf of Mexico, which caused her detention for four days, and accounts for her late arrival. The commander reports the prevalence of very heavy south-west gales on the voyage from Bermuda. The Trent has brought no news from Mexico of later i gate than received by the America via New Or leans and New York. Our regular files of Jamaica papers have miscar ried, the steamers from Jamaica to Havennah, with the mails for the Trent, not having broug ht any; we are consequently without any advices from that colony. We learn from Demerara that the weather had }men very favourable for the crops, which would be of more than an ordinary average in quantity. The amount produce shipped from Trinidad to the 15th of September, was as follows :—Sugar-24,978 hogsheads, 1,975 tierces, 4,894 barrels. Molasses -7,780 puncheons and 137 tierces. . Rum-1,060 pun cheons. Cocoa-2,508,6701b. Coffee-104,0851b. Cotton-25 bales, 280 serous. Sir William Colebr oo k landed at Barbadoes on the 7th of September, and was caninds. ' immediately installed as Governor-General allaatd er-in -Chief of the Windward and Car r ib ean I s We have files of pap ers f rom Berbice, Demerara, and Tobago. The intelligence from the two first mentioned colonies is of a more cheerful c h a racter than that which has been rec e i ve d fo quarrel over the Civil Listrs many months past. The appears to have subsided planter a good deal, and understanding with their labourers, c so om t e ha t a b to the crop, for which the weather is in* stated to be highly favour. able, is being rapidly g From one of the Berbice papers we gather that the Dutch Government h as resolvedilirench Governments, by ' upon following the example of the Engli s h an emancipating the sla ves i n Surinam ; but instead of compensation to the proprietors, the slaves are to remain indentured labourers ersf or a period of twelve years, and to work without arrange ment will never endur e for J.)'ay. Such an period assigned to it, but will most probably entail greater disaster and loss to the slave owners, and greater moral detriment to the slave, than an immediate manumission would do. From Martinique we learn that to be in course of re-establishment tranquillity appears had on a solid basis. The Commissary- Gener al received orders from against home to promulgate laws n d st vagabondage, and. the most energetic measures had amnesty, been prescribed to the Governor in case , of furtherft disorder. Some• negro es, who, a few days the Saturnalia of St.. Pierre, under cover of the had ordered one in of the inhabitants to quit his house 24 hours, under pain of death, had been arrested and condemned at: the assizes to five years' imprisonment. Th e Trent has brought 16 cabin passengers, amongst whom are Lieutenant Sim, Royal Engineers, and Lieutenant Alaynard, 88th Regiment, from Bar badoes ; also two sergeants and one corporal of artil lery, and one sergeant of the 42d Regiment, from. Bermuda, and eight distressed British seamen. The freight list comprises 29,138 dolls. on account of Mexican dividends, 1,243,205 dolls. on merchants' account, 28 ounces gold, 32 ounces gold dust, 365 serons cochineal, 49 cases cigars, 50 bales tobacco, 4 bags coffee, and 44 packages sundries. Her Majesty's ship Electra was at Vera Cruz when the Trent left, expecting to be relieved by the Hound; the latter vessel sailed from Havannah for that purpose on the 27th. The Alarm, Daring, and steamer Scourge were with the Admiral at Halifax. The Trincomalee was at Antigua. At Havannah on the Ist of October, the Spanish frigate Pearl, corvette Columbar, and Patriola brig. The Royal Mail steamer Thames was on the Wind ward Island route ; . the A von at Jamaica, Severn running between Bermuda and New York, the Forth in the Gulf of Mexico, the Clyde on the Spanish Main, Conway and Reindeer Windward Islands, the Eagle on her passage to England.

SAGACITY.--A somewhat singular instance of animal sagacity has been told us as having occurred at Drumlithie market last woek. A two -year-oldquey, which had been purchased from a drove belonging to Mr. Officer, cattle-dealer, was driven to its new home at Allardice, a distance of six miles from the place of sale, and put into a grass park there. By some means or other it escaped from the enclosure, and on the afternoon of the following day (Friday last) again made its ap pearance on the market-stance of Drumlithie, wh ere i t lay down on the very spot from which it had been driven. Several individuals attempted , to remove the animal from the stance, but in vain ; and after resting for a short time, and finding there was no chance of its former com panions making their appearance, it deliberately got upon its legs, and moved off in tbo direction of Allardice, where its appearance would no doubt cause as much sa tisfaction, as its sudden escape had given rise to specu lation.—Stonehaven Journal. By the arrival of her Majesty's ship Rosamond, el Cowes, from Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, we have intelligence from that colony to the 9th of Sep tember, which is of a most important character, as we learn that an engagement had taken place between Sir Harry Smith and the rebel forces, on the 29th of August, which the following Government notice fully describes:— " GOVERNMENT NOTICE. "Colonial Office, Cape Town, Sept. 9. "His Excellency the Governor has directed the publication of the following account of the action which took place on the 29th ult. at Boem Plaats, between the troops under his command and the rebel Boers beyond the Orange River, and which ended in the total rout and subsequent flight of the rebels. " The notice published on the 30th ult. gave in formation of the passage of the Orange River, by nearly all the troops, on the 23d of that month ; whereupon Pretorius, the rebel chief, together with those under his command, in number exceeding 1,000 men, had fallen backwards towards WTinburg, with A degree of precipitation which rendered the prospect of a general action improbable. All the troops had arrived on the 25th, when his Excellency crossed the river in person at their head, and, by incredible exer , tions, the passage of the river was completed by them on the 26th. His Excellency then moved the troops with the greatest rapidity in the direction of Bloem Fontein, in pursuit of the rebels, whom, on the 29th, he found posted in a very strong position at Boem Plaats, on the from Elleboog River. There is here a succession of ridges of low hills, backed by a higher range, through a pass in which the road runs. " On a reconnoitering party, accompanied by his Excellency, approaching the first ridge, the rebels suddenly sprung up, and opened a heavy fire upon them; the left of their position was, however, quickly carried by the Rifle Brigade, 45th and 91st regiments, the artillery (six-pounders) opening at tie same time a very effective fire. " The rebel's right, having been considerably thrown forward, was gallantly attacked by the Cape Mounted Rifles, under the orders of Lieutenant- Colonel Buller, and driven back towards the pass, in the direction of which the enemy were now at every point hurrying, pursued from ridge to ridge of the low hills by her Majesty's troops, and suffering great loss as they retired from the guns which opened upon them wherever they could be brought to bear. It was afterwards found that twelve men had been killed by one well-directed round shot. On reaching the summit of the pass the enemy made a bold though fruitless effort to maintain their position ; but by a combined attack of the Cape Mounted Rifles, with a body of the Griqua Auxiliaries, they were at length driven from this their last posi tion; on abandoning which, they 'fled in the utmost disorder, and in all directions, over the plain beyond, leaving behind them many horses and various articles of dress. &c. " His Excellency continued the pursuit for several miles, and until it was dark ; but, it being evident that the rebels were completely broken, he halted for the night at Calver Fontein. In the hope of over taking and capturing the train of waggons, he marched next morning, the 81st, at two o'clock, for Bethany, which he reached early in the day, and then ascertained that the enemy's camp no longer existed, they having fled, with their waggons, in all directions. On the march, evidence was everywhere afforded of the precipitate retreat of the rebels, a number of horses, &c., having been left on the road ; 49 of the enemy were counted dead upon the field. Their wounded may be considered upwards of 150. Owing to the nature of the ground, which afforded great advantage to the rebels, the loss on the side of her Majesty's troops is unfortunately rather heavy, as will be seen by the following return. " By his Excellency's command, (Signed) " JOHN MONTAGU, " Secretary to Government. " Return of Killed and Wounded in action with the rebel Boers, at Boem Pleats, on the 29th of August, 1848.

" GOVERNMENT NOTICE. " Colonial-office, Aug. 30, 1848. " His Excellency the Governor has directed the fol lowing notification of his proceedings, and the move ments of the troops in the country beyond the Orange river, to be published for general information:— " On the 22c1 instant nearly all the troops required for military operations having then reached Colesberg, his Excellency commenced the passage of that river, and had on the 23d conveyed the greater portion across to the right batic. " Ely; Excellency's passage of the river has been fol lowed by the happiest effects. The loyal portion of the population beyond the Orange river has been inspired with confidence, and have expressed their readiness to join the Queen's troops, and act against the rebels. Two of the field commandants—Sneyman and Erasmus—were with his Excellency, and had offered him the assistance and support of their parties, should they be required. " The chief, Adam Kok, was also in his Excellency's camp, and both he and the chiefs Waterboer and Mo shesh had displayed the most exemplary fidelity to their engagements of alliance with her Majesty, notwith standing the attempts of the rebels to undermine their loyalty. " (in the other hand, his Excellency's proceedings have filled the rebels with consternation and dismay. They have fallen back to Winberg, leaving the passage of the river uncontested. They commenced their back ward movement the moment the infantry! advanced, their oetposts flying from the banks of the river, leav ing the meat half cooked upon the fires; and, although they still boast of their intentions, it appears at present probable that they will not venture to make a stand at all. "His Excellency regrets that the present movement has been attended with serious loss and destruction of property to many of her Majesty's loyal subjects be• yond the Orange river. In the Caledon district, five hundred families have been forced from their homes, and the excesses committed by the rebel Pretorius upon isolated farms and houses, have caused his Excel lency severe mortification. His Excellency, however, re joices that there is now a certai❑ prospect of destroying, once and for ever, the influence of these designing men among her Majesty's faithful emigrant subjects, and has directed the publication of the following warning.' " By his Excellency's command, (Signed) "JOHN MONTAGU, Soc. to Gov. " WARNING TO THE REBEL BOERS. " Know all ye assembled in arms under one Preto rius, whom I have proscribed, that ye are British sub• jests, and that the act of your thus assembling in this reckless manner is illegal, and in opposition to her Ma jesty's sovereign will. You are guilty of rebellion. " Remember, before you force me to fire upon you, that have given you fair warning in my manifesto on the 29th .of March last. I now again warn you to pause ere you , compel me to use the force now assembled at my dis posal, and close at hand. " What is that you seek? To be slaves to black men, •and to hold your' lands from them, and not from her :Majesty? I went among you last January with a heart :full of affectionate feeling towards the Boer. I have 'done fer you all that you asked me to do. Each :Boer now holds his land in perpetuity, not .on an expiring lease of 40 years, and you have ;the privilege of almost entirely governing your ;selves. I have rendered the districts of Bloem Fontein and Caledon happy—most happy and grateful to me. .Ask every man of any property in either of them if this is not the care. Now, all possess their land in security. I have legalized all marriages. I have two ministers 'coming from Holland, and schoolmasters on the road. Your rebellious conduct ha s driven man y from their :homes, with their wives and their child ren; plunging . them into misery in this incle ment we at h er , and destroy ing their flocks and herds. Is this the good that, you :seel: for your countrymen? " Beyond Winberg there arc many ti iolent men, who :are opposed to rule and government in any shape; but :many whom I met in that neighbourhood, althou gh they ;told me in public, when overawed by the turbulent, that ;they would rather remain as they were, in priv a t e :sought me, and assured me that they were miserable, :and prayed me to sand them a magistrate. I wa s met at Winberg by a large body of loyal men, who presented an address to me—the Chiefs Moshesh, Malitsanie, Sikom. lla, mnd others, were present. All agreed to wh a t I ;1. !posed, for tho general benefit and welfare of Bloem Fon ttein, Caledon, and Winberg, not for mine or the Govern :went of the colony. I then prosecuted my journeyt o N a t a l 9 where I met hundreds of families " trekking" in misery in the . rainy season, excited to discontent by this Preto rius (who is an inhabitant of the district of Natal, who is now dwelling beyond the limits of our sovereignty, over the Orange River, and has no right to interfere here), who has then and since imposed both upon me and you. I hastened to the seat of Government. You all well know that I did everything man could do for the benefit of those unfortunate and misguided people re treating from Natal. Many, very many, I rejoice to say, have appreciated my desire to serve them, and have returned to.their homes. Thirty-five families with Her menus Lombard, besides several smaller parties, have lately done so. To those who have no farms I have given, and will continue to give, 3,000 mcrgen of land (_) 1 the 84 and Tugela rivers ; and I appointed Preto rills to a land commission, as a member of which he might have rendered the greatest benefit to his country men. I gave him my proclamation on the 3d February last to take among you, especially requesting him to ex plain to Jacobs that I had issued it before ithe meeting proposed, because he (Pretorius) recommended me to do so, saying that he would point out to all of you how its contents were calculated for your good. In place of do ing these he perverted its meaning, misled you, and de ceived me. "Ile requested me not to extend the sovereignty be yond the Vaal river, and to leave the Mooi river for those who might disapprove of the order of things pro posed. I did so. I have always said that unless the majority of the burghers were in favour of the Govern ment which I had in friendship framed for them I would not press it. To show that such was not the case, Pre torious and Jacobs got 470 signatures to an address, by every imaginable fraud, deceit, and lie. Subsequently, Sneyman wrote to Pretorious to say that he would have nothing to do with him—that he had deceived him and his people, who had added their names to this list, and who all withdrew them. I received addresses, nume rously signed, from every part of the country, except beyond Winberg. Erasmus, the field commandant, has left Pretorius; and Potgieter declares for quiet. But Pretorius, mho loves to excite and render others miser able, aiming at his own ambitious ends, gets together a body of from 700 to 1,000 men, not heads of families, but persons fur the most part ruined in circumstances— frightens from their homes all families throughout the land, and talks of war and blood being shed. It blood be shed, bo it on his own ambitious rebel's head! Ile boasts of his moderation to Major Warden; if he had shed a drop of blood at that post, he would have added the crime of murder to that of rebellion. " Trusting, in confidence, to the general good feeling, I weakened the detachment of troops at Bloem Fon tein, because I desired that you yourselves should go vern yourselves, and was anxious not to interfere with you by means of. soldiers, Taking advantage of this, Pretorious, with his lawless followers, dares to remove officers placed at Bloem Fontein and the Caledon river, styling himself Commandant-General, and bringing these followers to prove to me that the majority are in favour of no rule. I tell him that bis present adherents are either brought from beyond the sovereignty, or are forced by intimidation to join him; and I tell hint" that I know that four-fifths of the people of property are in favour of the liberal Government .1 have established fur the benefit of all—far Chist's Church and for peace. " He talks of bringing down black men and more fol lowers among the Boers. LDoes he think to impose upon me in this way? "If the men beyond Winberg desired to have their own government, why did they molest those of Caledon river and Bloem Fontein? This insult shall be avenged by force of arms. Then may you trust to me, who have shown myself a true friend to you, to establish the best order of things. But no armed party shall presume to seek what I cannot listen to. Blood shall not cease to flow until peace and tranquillity be established, and rebels driven out of the land; and when women weep, you, rebels, will be the murderers of their husbands, sons, and brothers. "Choose, therefore, war or peace. The one I will vigorously prosecute; the other I will secure for the benefit of good, men and God's Church; and I will esta blish such military posts as shall not be subject to insult in future. - " Pretorius is an outlaw, a proscribed man, and I will never communicate with him; the proclamation offering 2,0001. for his apprehension remains in full force. " Some of you rebels, I know, have large sums of money in the colony; beware, if you fire a shot, lest I seize them to assist in defraying the expenses of this outbreak, which you have so treacherously and trai torously brought about, and in reimbursing, where pos sible, the good men for the losses they have suffered by your invasion, your threats, and your robberies. " The native chiefs are under the sovereignty of her Majesty, and can make no treaty that is binding till ratified by her Majesty's representative. Any treaties, therefore, that they may have been forced into by the rebels are null and void. " As I advance, whatever armed party awaits me I shall regard as haring fired the first shot, and the blood bo on their heads ; thus murder and rebellion become united. " So soon as I reach Winberg I will hear what Myn hoer Porgeiter and all peaceable men and loyal subjects have to represent to me for the general benefit. "H. G. SMITH, Governor. " Colesberg, Aug. 17." (From Sam Sly's African Journal, Aug. 31.) Discretion is tho chief part of valour, said Falstaff as well as Hudibras. Tho Dutch Beers are of the same opinion, and seem disposed to preserve a whole skin, as well as to live until some future period when fighting will be more safe and convenient. The latest news from the north-east adds but little to former statements. His Excellency still remains at Colesberg, waiting for the fulfilment of some desire not yet broaced to the world. In the meantime a kind of mock manifesto or proclama tion—a travestio on the reward already offered for the carcasses of the traitors—has been issued by the enemy, and most unwisely, if not seditiously, repeated by many contemporaries, whose judgment and good sense should have taught them better. And, as if to add absurdity to insult,--for a more coarse, malicious, and abominable impertinence to the British Government and its rulers has seldom seen daylight—some have blundered so far as to caution the press not to extend the evil, which they were actually doing in their own advices; and so, by a kind of sham plaster, thought of healing the wound that they must be sensible they were doubly inflicting. (From the Frontier Times.) TUESDAY MORNING. Our accounts from Colesberg are to the 16th instant. Notting of consequence had transpired. The Cora mander-in-Chief was waiting the arrival of the expected reinforcements which, by the last advices that bad reached Colesberg, wore at Cradock. Pretorius' party, it seems, on observing a detachment of the military, with a gun, stationed at the drift near the punt, immediately threw up two intrenchments to oppose the landing of the troops. The Commander-in-Chief haying considered this position not favourable to his views, his men being too much opposed to the fire of the rebels, therefore abandoned the idea of crossing at that point, and caused the punt to be sunk. Botha's drift is now decided upon as being the safest, and a raft has been commenced, and will be completed in three days, and the 21st, it is ru moured, is the day fixed for the troops to cross. It is most unfortunate that the river rose a few days after Major Warden crossed into the colony. The rebels seem determined to make a stand, and are constantly calling out to the troops across the river to know why they do not cross. We learn from other sources that the Boers have six 3-pounders ready for use on the other side of the river. A letter from Burgersdorp, dated the 14th of August, states that there is a rumour that a "party of 60 Boers have stationad themselves at Botha's Drift, to oppose the passage of the troops." It is also reported that Pretorius wishes to have a parley with the governor. A picket of some 21 men had stationed themselves last week at Sand drift, but have now retired. We also learn from the village that the civil commissioner has had parties of farmers out to warch the drift of the Orange river, for which services they readily assembled. The inhabitants of Albert are said to be well affected to the Government. The editor of the Grensblad has received from Mr. Preterit's, the leader of the rebellious farmers, a letter which ho had addressed to his Excellency, repudiating British interference, which is stated to be signed by 1,050 persons. This document is important, as it contains what the emigrant farmers consider to be their " case." A translation of it will be given in next week's paper. It is also accompanied by an account of the proceedings of the conference that took place between Pretorius :and Major Warden, together with the articles of capitulation of Bloem Fontein; also a copy of the letter which Major Warden sent to the native chiefs not to molest the Boers; and also a letter addressed by Pretorius to Major Warden, aeknowledg ing his receipt of Major Warden's letter to the chiefs, in which he expresses his gratification to find that Major Warden has done everything he could to keep the peace, and expresses his desire to do the same. Since the above information was received by the usual post, an express reached Graham's Town yesterday afternoon to the effect thst all the Boers :on the other bank of the river had precipitately LI 41, leaving all their cooking utensils, &c.. behind them. The passage of the river is now free. This sudden movement :is supposed to have been occasioned by their having heard that the 45th Regiment was iu full march upon Winburg. Pre vious to this flight of the Boers, Pretorious had been re peatedly sending over messages to the Governor, who is said to have sent him word that if he wished to see him he must come to him in person. The company of the 91st, under Major Ferber, that left town for Colesberg on Sunday morning, have been ordered to return to their quarters; and the order to send some further guns for Graham's Town has also been countermanded. LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM THE NORTH. EAST FRONTIER. The Graham's Tozen Journal, of the 26th inst., brings no further news respectik his Excellency and PrztL rius, but merely confirms the reports already published in another column from the Frontier Times. " What further steps will be taken in pursuing the Boers is only conjecture at present," says our latest authority. It is not even said who is to pay the money in the event of the impudent manifesto of Andreas being ac compliAed. (From the Cape of Good Hope Shipping Gazette, Sept. 1.) The notice from the Gazette shows the position of affairs upon the Orange river so fully that we hare little to add. - All the troops as yet arrived had crossed the river vernor. His Excellency will at oncql)ash on to Winburg, and estatdish forts there, and at Blom Fontein. The warning which he has caused to be published is being circulated extensively, and the happiest results may be anticipated from the feeling displayed in it towards the ignorant and misguided Boers. (From the Cape Town Mail, Sept. 2.) A communication from Colesberg, dated 24th August, says:—" The troops commenced crossing the river on. Tuesday morning, and were all over by yesterday after noon, excepting the baggage-waggons. Not a Boer was to be seen on the other side of the river, and no attempt was made to oppose their passage. I was present during the time, and must say I have never yet beheld a more animating scene. It is said that the Governor in tends to march direct to Bloem Fontein. The Boers are at present about five hours' ride up the river, and intend to encamp themselves at a place called Van Asswegan's Poort, which is said to be a good place for such a pur pose ; but it is still believed that.as soon as they hear of the troops marching (which will be in three or four days) they will disperse and plunder as far as they can; thus , commencing a sort of guerilla warfare which may tend to harass our troops, and cause, by the consequent delay and continued state of excitement, more evil both in and out - of the colony than one can well imagine, and cer tainly more than would be the case if they made one stand against the troops. I have it from undoubted au thority, that a few days ago the Governor received a let ter from Pretorius, advising him as a friend not to at= tempt crossing the river. "By the IWe, that said to be a proclamation of Andrea 1., in the Graliarn',9 Town Journal, is a hoax of some evil-minded blackguard, in order to animate and excite the ignorant and easily led-away Boers of our frontier districts." MADAGASCAR. FAILURE OF ADMIRAL DACRES TO OPEN FRIENDLY RELATIONS WITH THE QUEEN. THE HEAD OF CAPTAIN KELLY, ÜBE MA JESTY'S SHIP CONWAY, DEMANDED. (From the Supplement ofth e 21f aur i t i us Times, July 22. Her Majesty's steamer G eyser, Captain Brown, arrived here on Monday last from Madagascar, which she left on the 13th inst. As her Majesty's frigates President and Brilliant left on the same day for this port, no official communication has, we believe, been received from Admiral Dacres, but we h ave gleaned the following information from various sources. The ships which left this on the Bth June, arrived off Tamatave on the 11th. The two frigates tried their speed together, and the President had the advantage on every point. A friendly communication was im mediately held with the native authorities, and a dispatch from the Admiral was forwarded to the Queen at her capital. The natives declined fur nishing the ships with supplies of any kind; consequently while waiting the reply to the dis patch, the two frigates proceeded to the island of Marosse, in Antongil Bay, where they took in water. On the main land near this island was observed two llova villages, strongly stockaded, for protection against the Sackalavas, who had lately paid them a visit, carrying off many women and children, and as many bullocks as they could capture. On the return of the ships, a commissioner (an eleventh honour) came down from the Queen to negotiate the terms of the treaty, who had a meeting with the ad miral on the shore, in a tent erected for the purpose. The sight was very pretty. The Geyser took the admiral and his principal officers close in, and after landing them, lay to, keeping the tent within range of her guns. A guard of 200 men in boats served as escort. The Kabar lasted some time, and after it was over, the commissioner regaled his guests with sponge cake and beer. A large party of natives troops were in the neighbourhood of the tent, and in the bush at a little distance. A week after the commissioner went on board the President, another long conference was held, the result of which was communicated to the Queen for her decision, as the commissioner was not prepared to conclude the treaty upon his own autho rity. After this meeting the commissioner sent on board a present of three fat bullocks, a quantity of poultry, and a cask of rum - But the authorities still declined to supply the ships with fresh provisions, and as the stock was exhausted, and the Queen's answer could not be expected ft, several days, the Admiral determined on coming to Mauritius in the mean while. The result is of course yet to be ascertained, and the propositions on either side are equally unknown ; but it is reported that the Queen renewed her demand for the head of Captain Kelly, which was refused ; that an endeavour was made to confine the trade to a single agent on shore, which was also declined ; and that the only concession to be obtained was that traders might land and remain ashore between sunrise and sunset, and that whatever goods remained unsold at the latter hour must be re embarked. If this be the case, it is clear that our trade will suffer much inconvenience and risk of being sacrificed to Mr. Delastelle and his monopoly; but it may be hoped that if the late unhappy differences be settled and trade once re-opened—if the small end of the wedge be once inserted, the opening will speedily widen, and our ancient relations be re-established. Mr. Delastelle, it appears, arrived at Tamatave, from Bourbon, before the first conference. He was on intimate terms with the commissioner, and supposed to be behind the scenes during the conference ashore, and to have dictated the replies of the commissioner. His influence may be seen in the attempts to secure a monopoly of the trade. On the whole there appears to be a fair prospect of the trade being re• opened, although at first upon un satisfactory terms, and it will be left to the traders themselves to obtain further concessions by the use of fair dealing and conciliatory conduct towards the natives. There can be little doubt that a contrary course has been most prejudicial to our interests in Madagascar; and it will behove the respectable mer chants and captains in this trade to give no facilities to that worthless class whose proceedings led to, or furnished an excuse for, the expulsion of all foreign traders from Tamatave. Mr. Delastelle appeared confident of the trade being re-opened, as he was about to dispatch the Arzac to Bourbon for a cargo of dry goods. The natives are anxious for this re sult, but it depends entirely upon the Queen and the coterie who keep her in thraldom. The colonial vessels Ariel, N imble, and Lady Emma, and the French vessel Courier, were waiting at Tamatave for cargoes. An attempt was made to induce the commissioner to allow them to load at once, as the negotiations were so far advanced, but he would not consent. The French commodore was at St. Mary's. While the Geyser was alone off Tama tave, the French steam-ship Gassendi arrived from Bourbon, and went on to St. Mary's to announce to Commodore Page the appointment of his successor. Mr. Delastelle was in communication with the corn. modore, and dispatched a vessel to him two days after the last conference. The two frigates may be ex pected here in a day or two.

A BRAVE LASS.—On Sunday se'nnight a family' named Outlaw, living at the Roand House, on the turn-. pike-road between Bury and Newmarket, went to Gaze-, ley Church in the afternoon, leaving at home a daughter,. who about tour o'clock lucked the door, and went to meet her parents. On their return they found the cham ber window and door open, and on going up stairs a man jumped out of the window, who had opened a bureau, but had taken nothing from it. The daughter imme diately gave him chase, and in spite of his threats that ho would do for her if she did not leave him, she con tinued the pursuit for full two miles, till she met with two gentlemen, who assisted her and took the fellow into custody. On the following day he was brought before the magistrate_s at Bury, and sentenced to three months' impLonment, the magisLrates complimenting the girl on her courage, and telling her she had done more than many of the police would have done, and would make an excellent member of the foree)--,Bury and Norwich Poet.
