THE KAFIR WAR. some of the most daring robberies e v mmitted during the war have lately been perpetrated, otwithstanding the presence of a considerable body ofthe 12th Regiment, 12th Lancers, Cape Corps, and k rhe police recently established, who, however, appearto have done good service in following up and punishing the marauders. In the Somerset district, various night attacks have been made upon farm-houses, 14 cattle swept off. The last accounts received from rthat quarter men tion that a number of farmers ha traced a party of Hottentot rebel marauders to their lair in one of the Fish River kloofs, and killed four ifieverely wounding two, and taking one prisoner, fro whom some rather i important information was elicite He stated "that there are very few Hottentots in the Waterkloof, and that Uithaalder and his followers are in the Amatols, but they are nearly out of gunpowder." He adds, " that Macomo is in the Waterkloof, but is also short of ammunition; and that both he'and his Hottentot followers have abandoned all hope of success in their insane outbreak." " They would gladly submit," he states, "were they sure of being spared, but as it is they are obliged to steal to live: Throughout the western districts—the Cape Proper —where peace happily prevails, a most energetic and enthusiastic response has been made by the inhabitants to the appeal of the Lieutenant-Governor for, assist ance to their eastern brethren, who had proceeded to join the Commander-in-Chief in the field. Public meetings were immediately held in nearly every town and village in the west and donations of money, arms, lioree . e, ants,,iia, were freely and generously mad e t tal - amount collected it is impossible yet to state, as every post still brings in fresh subscription lists from all parts of the country. It was also resoled with entire unanimity, at all these meetings, that the amounts subscribed should be placed unreservedly at the dis posal of the Governor, to be by him applied in any way he might think suitable, in equipping or encour aging the volunteers under his command. The Lieutenant-Governor, however, distinctly explained in his circulars on the subject, that the appeal had been made by himself individually, without reference to the Governor ; and that nothing which might be done in consequence would impose upon the Governor any pecuniary accountability. The internal affairs of the colony contiaue to be conducted without excitement or trouble of any kind. All memory even seems to have passed from the public mind of the awful roorts of intended insurrections, &c., among a certain class, which aixious i n refer were so industriously sought out aid blazoned forthpropriety,to fright the land from its propriety, shortly b e f ore the departure of Mr. Montagu fromthe colony. Th e inhabitants, the indee d, delay which are h deeply a occurred in sen di ng out the Constitution ; but their confidence in the Royal promise is complete, and 'with the certainty that the letters patent can never to subverted, they await, in loyal patience, the arrival of the great char ter of this colony's liberties. Of the existence and strength of this good fee lin g on th e part of the col°. nists ample Lieutenant Governor Dari ng has lately had proof, in the course of a tour he made through some of the neighbouring districts; and, in reply to various congratulatory addresses presented to him, he has emphatically declared and reterated the fact. Much interest is felt in the search which is bein g made in all direction s for coal ; the local Government having offered a reward of 1001. for the discovery of this precious material in the vicinity of any port in this colony. Specimens of various qualities have been is certainly to induct ion . t being found on the primary brought in from di fferen t localities, and thou g h geo logical unfavourable the pro bability of such a dep o sit formation which the Cape peninsula exposes, sanguine hopes are entertained that, in some part or other of this extensive country, coal will yet be found. Some samples of supposed gold sent down:from the Waterkloof are found on examination to be mere sulphuret of iron. Geology here, however, poln • ts significantly to the great similarity between the Amatola range and the gold-producing granites of the same latitude in New South Wales. A great stimulus has been given to the cultivation of fine wool by the encouraging prices lately realized in the London market. Not only within the colony but at Natal and the Sovereignty, rapid strides are being made in this very profitable branch of produc tion. From Algoa Bay alone, the wool exported during the three first quarters of the preamt year, exceeds in value a quarter of a million sterreg. work with admirable nee of failure baying yet oc curred. Efforts are again berg made to provide y o , n n th o l t y a s s te in a g m le packets insta for their security while in our port, by making it a reg T u h la e ri m t harbour of refuge, through the construction of a sub stantial breakwater, and assistance is confidently ex pected from the friends of the coony in England, if not from the Imperial Government, in effecting this long-desired improvement, whida would not only give increased facility and safety to British com merce, but confer an incalculable benefit upon the shipping of all nations frequenting these southern seas. to retire without succe!s, leaving one Kafir dead in the gap,with his pouch and things on. From the blood spoors seen the next morning, a good many of them must have been wounded. One fellow got a horse loose and rode off, seven shots being fired at him without effect. The riems had been cut from the necks of the remainder, but since our other horses were lost we have taken the precaution to put chains on their necks and lock them up. The enemy were no doubt enraged at being com pelled to retire without anything, as their last effort was to set fire to the cattle kraal, which they did by throwing several lighted mats on the fence. We all had of course to turn out and extinguish the fire. At the time the attack was made four of our children lay sick with the measles, and we had to drag them out of bed and place them on the floor. It is a miracle that none of us were hurt, as the balls coming through the windows and striking the opposite walls rebounded in all directions. I am sorry to say that my old servant, poor Magook, was shot dead, and a Hottentot woman dangerously wounded, whom I have sent into town in the hope of gutting her into hospital, as we have no doctor here. A. Fingo woman and child were also wounded, but not dan gerously. The enemy attacked the huts at the same time as the house, firing into them, and shooting the , people as they ran out. (EXTRACT OF A LETTER DATED CRADOCK, AUG. 17.) I think I can now surprise you. On Thursday and Friday, the 12th and 13th instant, the erven were sold by public auction at the new town " Meddleburg," on the Braak River, Rhenosterburg, situated nine hours from Cradock, twelve from Graaf-Reinet, fourteen from Colesberg, and eighteen from Burghersdorp (all in the saddle.) There were some 200 half-dry and water erven, and they void for about 15,0004, being an - average of Rds. 1,000, or 751. each. Some of the erven fetched as much as 4631.—size one acre ! Smaller erven sold pro portionably high according to situation for business. I bought one on the market 60 by 80 feet at Rds. 1,520. The next erf, same size, bought by Meagre. Spiller and Smith, of Burghersdorp, sold for Rds, 2,830. There was a large attendance, and apparently all buyers. The Graaff-Reineters bought freely for business purposes, as they trade here more than other places. Cradock, Colesberg, and Barghersdorp produced a few sprinkling of purchasers, and the Dorpers came out first-rate with their 800 and 1,500 Rds. for erven. All must be built on within four years. So they will soon have a town there nearly twice the size of Cradock. Then the church will be immensely rich. The Kirkraad gave 3,0001. for the farm. Say they gave Rds. 80,000 to build a church and parsonage, there is then 6,0004 to be put out on interest, besides which every erf must pay a church-rate of from 7s. 6d. to 20s. per annum. The situation for a town is good, and the site fixed on admi rable. A splendid stream of water from three fountains, besides the river close by. Nice flat country, with hills in the distance. _ ARRIVAL OF THE BOSPHORUS. The Royal Mail general screw-ship Bosphorus, Captain H. B. Benson, commander, arrived in the Plymouth Great Western Docks at 7 o'clock on Saturday morning, having left the Cape of Good Hope on the 6th ult. She brings a general cargo and a moderate mail.

Caps The news brought by the Bosphorus is only a fortnight later than that brought by the Haddington, consequently a portion of the news she has brought has been anticipated. The Bosphorus left Plymouth at 4 p.m., on the 27th of July, on her outward voyage ; arrived at St. Vincent at 8 a.m., on the 7th of August, from which she started again at 5 p.m. on the 9th, and arrived in Table Bay at half-past 7 a.m. on the 2d of September, performing the voyage in 364 days. She experienced a very heavy gale in S.E. trades, with head winds, and heavy seas, until 25 deg. south. Her run was therefore exceedingly good. The Bosphorus left the Cape of Good Hope on Sept. 5; St. Helena the 16th ; Ascension the 19th ; arrived at St. Vincent's on the 28th; and sailed on the Ist of October; ar riving here on the 16th. She had had heavy winds on her voyage home. At the time she left St. Vin cent's the Royal Mail screw-steamer Indiana was there, and left for India a few hours before the Bos phorus. The Indiana had had a rough passage out. The Bosphorus was detained four days at St. Vin cent'sfor coal. Specifications and Forms of Tender may be had on and after ITeduc.di ay, October 20, on application in writ,,,g to the Secretary, Joistoa Station, London.

The war still " drags its slow length along," and the latest intelligence from the frontier states that outrages are still committed on the frontiers, even in the proximity of the towns and posts. Both parties still war with cattle—the Kafirs managing generally to hold their own remarkably well. The Transkei expedition had been finished, but the frontier districts were still swarming with rebels and Kafirs, who carry with them devastation and ruin, too frequently with impu nity. It was understood to be the intention of the Governor to make another inroad into liselits country at a suitable opportunity. Tae coal that had been discovered turns out to be anthracite, giving encouragement to further search, which is much promoted by the Government, who have offered a reward of 1001. for the discovery of coal beds. The gold reported by the Haddington to have been found at the Waterkloof turns out to be sulphur et of iron. No. o f A ge Amount ?rein s Annual Sum Bonus • when now Paid. Assured. Premium. Assured.

Two coloured men, one a Kafir guide and th e o ther a waggon-driver, got separated, and have not since been heard of. It is supposed that both have been put to death. The Governor is very well satisfied with the English turn-out. Of Dutch there are only about forty in the field, while the English number nearly 300. And a very fiue body of men they !Ire, well mounted and equipped. The general opinion is there never was before so efficient a force on this aide the Kei, each division being accompanied by 500 ca valry. GEORGE THOMSON, Manager. THOS. MUSGRAVE, Secretary.

WHITE KEI CAMP, Aug. 15.—We were joined at the Balotta b y some Somerset B urg h ers un d er K ruger , some fourteen from Burghersdorp, and then moved on to this. The day we arrived we were joined by the Albany and the Port Elizabeth contingents, all in the best style and spirits, well armed, and their horses in fair condition. His Excellency then formed his standing camp, which is to be left in charge of the Rifles, and divided the rest of the troops into two columns, the one under Colonel Michel, and the other under Colonel Napier, each consisting of one regiment of infantry, some Native Irregulars, and 500 horses—making two more vfliment columns than I h ave ever seen a t wor k f t one time in liiCreli's country. • • * The division under Colonel Napier has moved up the T'Somo towards its sources, and that of Colonel Michel down the same river to its confluence with the Kyo towards Butterworth. Some spoors of Hottentot waggons were seen leading in that direction. Nothing can be more in our favour than the state of the weather, not a drop of rain since leaving; plenty of grass, with wood and water. * * * The burgher muster is almost exclusively English. The Graham's Town men we left in the best possible spirits, all eager for the fight. CAMP ON THE BANKS OF THE KET, Aug. 15.—The whole of our division is on patrol for nine days. The General went out as far as Kreli's kraal, and re turned the second day. No news from the patrol except that the whole of Kreli's kraals have been fired and de stroyed. The accounts that we have are, that he (Krell) is off across the Bashee, and taken all his cattle with him. Oar gallant fellows are after him in fine style, and I am not afraid but they will bring plenty of cattle. The Governor has erected a fort at the Balotta camp, called Fort Tylden, half way between Shilo and the li.i—Cap tain Cahill, 91st Regiment, is in command of it. This fort is principally for having supplies ready for us in case we remain here longer than intended. MONTHLY SUMMARY. (From the Cape Town Mail of Sept. 6.) E. MOSES AND SON.

MOSES and SON. This ingenious a Ltistie contrivance serves the threefold p ur p ose of COAT, CLOAK, and TRAVELLING CAPE. Roil OVERCOAT season having commenced, E. MOSES and OVp v t, vi te Public attention to the largest and most novel stock of PALETOTS, &c., in the Kingdom, and they unhesi coZgq affirm thpt the price ot each article will be found better, and -.derably lower in price, than at any other House in the World. The principal event of the war during the past month has been the advance of Lieutenant-General Cathcart, at the head of a strong column of troops, and about 1,000 burghers, across the Kei, into the territory of the Amagaleka Kafir Chief Kreli, his burning the deserted kraal or "great place" of that Wil liam'sferce, a T fte o r w e n s , pt a u n r d ing di l sb 3 7 o d o on e ne f chief, and his return to bead-qu ar t e r s a t King of enemy's the c b a u t t r l g e h . e r e th n e t Ills Excellency moved forward from the Umvani, the point where the burghers had been invited to as semble, on the 6th August, the very day he had fixed upwards of a month previously for that purpose. During his progress towards the Kei, two messen gers from the chief reached him, and stated that they were sent " to inquire the cause of the presence of the troops, and to hear the Governor's word." They were sent back with the following answer : " That the Governor had sent to demand the payment of the fine of cattle imposed by the former Governor; that two moons had passed since the Great Chief gave his word that unless the cattle demanded were paid within that time, he would bring a burgher commando and take them. Bat Krell had sent back the Great Chief's letter, and the fine has not been paid, and San dilli is still in the Amatolas. Therefore it is that the Great Chief has now come to take the fine, and as much more cattle as will pay for the trouble of coming, also to punish Kreli for sending back his letter. However, if Kreli would, with the fine imposed, surrender his per son to be kept in safety till the Gaikas cross the Kei, the Governor would halt the troops, and send the burgh ers back to their homes. " To this the messengers replied that the fine might be paid, but that Kreli would not surrender." The forces then proceeded to enter Kreli's coun try, an entrenched post being left at the Balotta, to secure communication with the colony. Advancing in two columns, of troops, burghers, and irregulars, they reached Crouch's station in the neighbourhood of Kreli's place, on the 11th; and before daybreak, on the following morning, "his Excellency led a force of sufficient strength, composed entirely of co lonial contingents, with the exception of four com panies of the 6th; Regiment as support, upon Kreli's great kraal, which was found deserted, and was burnt, without the enemy showing hims elf . " On the 13th, the burghers, troops, and levies, in two columns, under Lieut.-Col. Napier and Michell, were dispatched in pursuit of the enemy's cattle, of which he was known to possess immense herds ; and although the great mass of them had already been driven beyond reach, mostly into the territory of Umhala, which for some reason the forces were for bidden to enter, the large number above mentioned were brought into camp within a few days. Of these, 8,000 were captured by Napier's column, including 3,000 taken by the Somerset, Kowie, and other bur ghers, under their commandants Kruger and Van Aardt, and 1,000 by the burghers of Albany, Port Elizabeth, and King William's Town, under Com mandants Stubbs and Conway. 1,300 head were also taken by Michell's column, and 500 by detached patrols of burghers and volunteer Fingoes. The only casualties reported are one artilleryman killed and one wounded, having been rushed upon and assagaied while acting, unfortunately, as drovers of captured cattle. The prompt and spirited manner in which so large a body of the Eastern burghers had turned out in arms at the Governor's call, was warmly ac knowledged by his Excellency in a General Order on the 21st, when he dismissed them to their re spective homes, " carrying with them not only his thanks for their meritorious conduct but also the self-satisfaction of having as loyal subjects re sponded to his aiipeal." His Excellency also de clared that by the exertions of the forces in one foray of nine days, the object he had in view in invading Kreli's country and punishing that chief had been accomplished. He then withdrew the troops and returned to King William's Town. Some surprise and disappointment are expressed on the frontier at this speedy termination of the expedition for which such great preparations were made ; and various causes are assigned for the re turn of the troops, without having elicited any ap pearance of submission on the part of the Kreli, who, it is generally believed, will have by this time re sumed his former quarters ; the work of a few hours sufficing to re-construct the cluster of straw huts and rude cattle fences which form his " great place." One cause is said to be, that the enem y took the precaution to cover his retreat by burning the grass in every direction behind him, thus render ing pursuit by cavalry impracticable. It is also stated that some of the Tambookie and other neighbouring tribes have been subsidized, and are prepared to fall upon the contumacious chief, and, in Kafir phrase, " eat him up." The most general impression, how ever, is that, under any circumstances, peace will shortly be proclaimed by the Governor; and that, hav ing displayed to the border tribes the overwhelming force which he is prepared to bring against them, he will now endeavour to allay the stormy elements, and assert under more pacific influences that authority over our savage neighbours which is essen tial to the very existence of the colony, and which every month's continuance of this miserable warfare seems but more and more hopelessly to undermine and weaken. Thi s v iew appears also to be confirmed by . the circ ums t ance th a t hi s E x c e ll e ncy intends, it is believed, to r e t urn ear ly i n O c t o b er t o Cape Town, where affairs of importance will then require his pre sence. While these events were occurring beyond the bor der, the inhabit ants of the more exposed districts of the colony have ex • perieneed no cessation of the dan gers, losses, and perpetual alarms which have been been their lot ever since the b Sandilli and Mecom o still bold the out of the war. th Waterkloof, and sm a ll parties cfe Amatolas and the their followers, in c oncert with the rebel Hottentots under co ntinue to harass the country.

The Commander-in-Chief having, as set forth in his proclamation of the Ist of July, invaded Kreli's terri tories at the head of a burgher force, supported by an adequate column of troops, proceeded to that contuma cious chief's kraal on the 12th inst., found it deserted, and caused it to be burnt.

Lieutenant-Colonel Napier's column returned to the head-quarters' camp on the 20th inst., having cap tured 8,000 head. Besid es these, there were about 120 horses, and a considerable number of goats taken. About 500 head of cattle were also captured by patrols com goes, the Albany, Port Eli za b et h, an d K ing posed of the Cradock Fin go Volunteers, Captain Camp bell'sWiiallti'ns Town Burghers, sent out from the standing cam p —making in all about 10,000 head. The Commander-in-Chief thanks Lieut.-Colonel Michel and Lieut.-Colonel Napier, the troops, the burghers, and levies, for their exertions in accomplishing in one foray of nine days the object he had in invading Kreli's country and punishing that chief, which enables him now to permit the several contingents of burghers and volunteers to return to their respective homes, car rying with them not only his thanks for their meritorious conduct, but also the self-satisfaction of having as loyal subjects responded to his appeal.

On the 29th of July the Commander of the Forces hav ing given his orders for the concentration of two columns of troops at the Imvani, there to be ;oined by the several contingents of burghers and others appointed by pro clamation to meet him on the 6th of August, his Excel lency left Fort Beaufort and joined ithe force assembled at the Bliukwater, under Lieutenant-Colonel Napier's command, and marched with it on the following morn ing for the invasion of Kreli's country. On the day PT pointed-6th of August—the two columns of troops, that from Fort Beaufort and that from King William's Town, under Lieutenant-Colonel Michel, formed a junc tion at the Imvani, and moved to the Balotta, where they encamped and halted the 7th, Bth, and 9th, to en able the several contingents of burghers known to be on their way to join. During this interval, two messengers, Contra and Pakana, from Kreli, reac hed the Commander of the Forces' ca m p, sent by their chief to inquire the cause of the presence of the troops, and to hear the Governor's word. They wore told, that the Governor had sent to demand the payment of the fine of Cattle imposed by the former Governor ; that two months had passed since the great chief gave his word ; that unless the cattle de manded were paid within that time, he would bring a burgher commando and take them. But Kreli had sent back the great chief's letter, and the fine has not been paid, and Sandilli is still in the Ilinfttolas. Therefore it is that the great chief has now come a) take the fine, and as much more cattle as will pay for the trouble of coming, as also to p un i s h K rell for seeding.back his letter. How ever, if Krell wou l d, with the fi n e Impeied, surrender his person to b e k ept i n safety t ill the Gaitas cross the Kei, the Governo r wou ld halt the tro o p s , a nd send the burghers back t o t h e i r h ouse s. To this the messengers replied that the fine might be paid, but that K re li wou ld noteurrender. On the 10th, a f ter esta bli s hing a n en t r enched post at Balotta, to secure the line of communication with the colony, the army broke up their Map - and marched into Kreli's country, the commander of the forces crossing the Kei at the head of the burghers, and establishing his camp on its left bank.

MAIL OFFICE, Sept. 6, 3 r.m.—The following letter, from our Graham's Town correspondent, has just come to hand by this afternoon's post. It contains nothing new, but, as the latest intelligence from the seat of war, TOWN, it maySEPT. interest2, 2.—y English readers will already „ Guika already have been made aware, from the papers of Tuesday, that his Excellency the Governor arrived at Fort Beaufort on Saturday last. He was escorted from King William's Town by about fifteen lancers—rather a small force with which to traverse an enemy's country. By letters received from Kafirland, we learn that outrages are still committed, even in the very proximity of the towns and posts. Near Fort Grey, lately, thirty head of cattle were carried off—and of two soldiers who merely went out of the fort for water, one was shot by the lurking about and wily foe. Within two miles of Sing William's f Town a span of oxen had been t aken from one of Mr. Thackwray's waggons. It is ho p ed and ex p ected the Governor will look a little clo sel y into these and si milar affairs. " Last evening the grateful intelli g ence was r eceived that the Albany Volunteers had arrived in safet y with theirssioxr o of herd miles m esf r o eon f m,on hence.cattle,le abo u tile, a ,rr reached es , h e me o d 0 o ,rt morning town, t o a o t o th e cs th p a a t party great o l joy of their relatives and friends. These men return on Saturday and relieve their comrades, who will then be allowed the same privilege. As the cattle are not to be sold until Monday, and will conseqeuently remain to graze, where they are till that morning, it i s quite ne cessary to keep a vigilant watch over them, otherwise there would be a great risk of many of them being ab stracted by the prowling parties of the enemy. Though all seems tolerably quiet just now, yet the occasional instances that occur in which small parties of Kafirs or Hottentots are seen, are sufficient to convince the colo nists that the country is by no means clear of these vagobonds. " It seems to be fully understood, that it is the inten tion of tho Governor to make another inroad into ICreli's country, at a suitable opportunity. Hence the committee for the Kei expedition have resolved upon retaining the arms and other accoutrements which have been lent to the volunteers ; but the horses, from the expense and risk necessarily attendant upon keeping, will be sold as soon as the matter can conveniently be ar ranged. The cattle, it is expected, will realize very fair prices—they are said to be in good condition." AUG. 19.—The rs and Hottentots made an attempt to get the cattle out of the kraal oe Friday night. They had got one rail out, when Staples, being on the watch, fired at them, and, from the blood spoor which we traced the next morning for upwards of 300 yards, one must ha o v t e h b is echa u m n oarntdalalyssweg O n Monday night they madeounded, as he bled profusely. We g a general attack on the house, and we had hard fighting for upwards of an hour. From the spoors I think there must have been about fifty Kafirs and Hottentots. They came so near to the windows that the wadding of their guns sot fire to tho blinds and other things in the room, in one of which there were about twenty ball shots and several charges of loopers, the windows being literally shot to pieces. The main body of the enemy got behind a fence about five yards in front of the house, and kept` up a brisk tiro at the windows, while another party tried to get the cattle out of the kraal. They contrived to make a gap in it, but the loopers and buckshot were so hotly poured in at every place where we could see or hear any part of the fence move, that they were obliged THE DOMESTIC INSTITUTION OF YANKEEDOIII. Whatever may be the ultimate impression enter tained by Europeans of " America and the Ameri cans," the first is undoubtedly uniformly unfavour able, Even their neighbours the Canadians speak of them with repugnance, if not absolute aversion. They are, it must be confessed, in their superficial aspect, singularly uninteresting, prosaic, and repulsive. Their extreme self-possession, their imperturbable self-suffi ciency, their total want of ostensible consciousness of the presence of others, or acknowledgment of any con sideration due to the recognition of other human beings in the world besides themselves, are features of national social bearing which are altogether un lovely, and earn for them the general antipathy of mankind. Their public and political bearing is still more odious, and is enough to hurry the most pru dent and pacific economists into un indignant desire to try conclusions with them at once. Their masses are truculent and braggart, their public men disho nest, temporising, and sycophantic. They are ready to go to war—they are loud for war, on the slightest, or on no provocation. Their international morality is unscrupulous, fraudulent, and ruffianly. They pro claim a settled design to appropriate to themselves the whole of the western hemisphere. They talk loudly of entering the circle of European politics, and forcing republican government upon all our states. They deliberately organised a large society in Phila delphia, composed of many wealthy and educated men, - fOr the purpose of hiring assassins to murder the crowned heads of Europe ; they blustered loudly about pro claiming war against us, as a settlement in full of the Oregon dispute; they organised armies and sub scribed subsidies to become mere buccaneers, thieves, and burglars in Cuba; " the affair of the"—this and that, and we know not bow many others.—is perpe tually elaborated and cooked up into a cause of war with us. Even Daniel Webster was abject and in sincere enough to lend himself to play the fable of the wolf and the lamb with the Peruvians, about the foul dung of the Lobos Islands, and to prostitute his diplomatic function to the level of pettyfogging spe cial pleading; and now at last the Union is trying to frighten our sense of the necessity of economy into meanness, by blustering and talking big over this recent entanglement about the fisheries. These are characteristics of the Americans which almost fret and goad us into a wish to come to blows with them at once, and to prove out of hand which is the better man. It is our very decided opinion that we would, in a just cause, give them a very sound drubbing; and their quarrelsome boastfulness would most richly de serve it. But it must be confessed they have some warrant for their gasconade, and that they are great people, destined probably to be the greatest. The mark they have set upon the world has scarcely been equalled even by the Romans. They have converted a wilderness to civilization, over a territory greatly larger than all Europe, in an incredibly short time. They have given permanent, wise, workable, and working institutions to a vast portion of the habita ble globe. Canals, linked lakes, deepened rivers and railways, intersect her inland territory, and open it all up to reciprocal intercommunion. Her maritime enter prise is not less than our own, and pushes a trade in and with our colonies even when we fail in doing so our selves. To the disgrace of Europe, and the glory of the States, the merchants of the Union were the first to undertake to connect the Atlantic with the Pacific. In practical science, especially in the department of mechanics, she stands in a position little, if at all, in ferior to our own ; and in the arts and conveniences of social life she has made advances from which even our elder civilization need not disdain to take a lesson. She even sends actresses here whom we hesitate to regard as at all inferior to our own most eminent ar tists ; and, in jurisprudence, her jurisconsults are standard authorities in Europe. Indeed, it is in her public life that sbe presents to us her least engaging aspect. There is no magnanimity in her patriotism— no honour or equity in her policy. Her Government is swayed by naked% majorities of the most ignorant and brutal of her people ; her public men exist only ' by their popularity-with the rabble ; and to please the mob, they must be like them, flatter their prejudices, obey their caprices, and trim their opinions and their acts, not by the rule of right or dictates of true states manship, but by the will of the masses and the selfish ness of the unscrupulous many. At the beginning of their era of independence, they were wise and good enough to reverence and obey their great and saga cious statesmen. They have ended by expecting that the greatest and wisest shall bow before and obey them; and the result is, that the good and true and thoughtful shun them altogether. It is when we fall back upon the literature of America that w• see her strength, liar riches, her wonderful progress. The men who scorn to win her most sweet voices by falsehood or hypocrisy speak the truth that is in them through the press " with most miraculous organ." With the exception of her newspapers, no literature is so pure, so high, so original, so spiritual as the American. Ware, Longfellow, Bryant, Sigourney, attain the highest and purest flights of genuine poetry. Since the " Vicar of Wakefield," we remember nothing in its line comparable to the " Montacute " of Mrs. Myers, to whom Sedgewick and Mitford are mere rushlights. What is more genial, polished, simple, or exquisite than Washington Irving passim? What sea sketch is so genuine as Dana's " Two Years be fore the Mast ? " We say nothing of Prescott, or Story, or Cooper, or Bancroft, because our own living writers in these departments leave these authors far behind. But in morals or theology we really do not even approach them. There is only one Chancing in all the world. What sermons can we, for a moment, compare to those of Ware or Dewey ? What disqui• sition on religion equals Parker, Norton, or Ripley ? Where shall we find riper scholarship, more profound research, or more varied reading, than, for example, in the American edition of, and commentaries upon, De Wette ? Barnes is now the text-book of English Biblical students. Where are abler and more learned criticisms to be found than in the " American Re view ? " What is more perfect, as a work of art, than the " Scarlet Letter ? " Above all, what effort of human genius was ever more exquisitely adapted to stir society to its depths, and to rift its iniquities to their centre, than the precious and priceless gift to the cause of humanity and civilization, Uncle Tom's Cabin ?" Its popularity in America shows the greatness of America. A people who can so bear to hear the truth, to be moved by it, to acknowledge it, cannot, after all, ever ultimately fall away into worthlessness. The more we reflect upon this work, the more we are struck with its wonderful adaptation to the purpose it was obviously designed to subserve. To achieve a work of fiction of such power and genius is victory sufficient; but to remember that the story and the machinery, perfect in themselves, held throughout in the writer's aim only a secondary place—that she merely devised the tale to gild a great moral, and to accomplish a vast practical, social, and political revo lution in her native country—and that she is destined to succeed in that aim, because her means are great enough to realize even that end—these are triumphs given to no other writer of fictitious narrative. Our mind and taste revolted at the amount of psalm-sing ing and cant which interlard the book ; but the re ligious is the earnest, self-denying, all-conquering element in human nature; and Mrs. Stowe has taken the only means to reach it, albeit it is; somewhat tinctured with a mystical evangelism. We believe that this little book has struck the death-blow to American slavery. Charming had already settled the morals, dialectics, philosophy, and theology of the question, with such logic and eloquence as were never applied to it before—as were never supposed applicable to it. Mrs. Stowe has given its actual form and features, what it really is—" negro life in America" —and supplied just enough of commentary, in the shape of running argument, as to leave no plea of breeders and owners unanswered. We do not believe that the "accursed traffic" can survive the blow. So far from suspecting the picture of exaggeration, the power of the work is, that it verifies itself, and satis fieste every reader capable of redaction, that sheh fruits of slavery could not be other tbanf free states here paints them. We do not exect thatfthtehirsestates "cruel will much longer have the burden h o They have no real business" upon their conscience. interest in upholding the syst.eamT.o e h W e. i . t . hout their It is a active co-operation it cannot to n P country. An source of perilous weakness to and arming the enemy landing in New 0 I slaves, would make a stronghold of ' the territory. It is the cause of dangerous d e moralisation, a still more pressing and hazerdous embarrassment. If the f ree States which surround the soutnern choose to say th e word—nay, if an y one of them determines to do s o , slavery must be practically at an end. The negroes can, with perfect ease, escape into the free soil, if they are at once assured that the free States would refuse to permit their re-capture. Were Virginia and Louisiana on the borders of Canada, slavery could not exist for an hour. For their own sakes, it is to be regretted they are not, because the execrable institution which they have taken to their homes must daily sink them lower and more desperately in brutality, and the most enervating and debasing vices. Mrs. Stowe shows clearly enough that the usual plea urged by the Southerners that they did not make slavery, but found it, is a poor subterfuge. The condition of the negro in the States is greatly worse than in any other country.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine : " 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. " About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by these who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I ost no time i t procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. _ _ --..-.. " From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to e is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, "GARRET FOSTER GILL. " To Mr. Proat, 229, Strand."

To make pipe, the softened material is forced through a die, the pipe as it forms being drawn away from the die through water to harden it. The mode of joining the pipes is very simple and beautiful, hot water and a little skill being all that is needed. There seems good reason to believe that piping of this material will be very extensively used. The testimonials in favour of its use for conveying water and other fluids are numerous and strong, although necessarily the experience is com paratively short. We regard it as of the utmost im portance that the fact of its endurance should be estab lished, as, that being proved, we shall then be able to get rid of the noxious lead-piping through which water now flows to our dwellings, and the, still worse, lead lined cisterns. The ability to make pipes in very long lengths, too, will be valuable in many cases, as, for in stance, when it is necessary to lay pipes under water. To convey the Croton water to Blackwell's Island, New York, a distance of 1,000 feet, the pipe was made of gutta percha in cne length, and, by means of a line of boats, was lowered into its place—with small anchors attached at intervals to keep it steady—in seven minutes and a half. As to the strength of gutta percha pipes, we have the evidence of the engineer to the Birmingham Waterworks that a 200 feet head of water and the " ram' caused by shutting it off suddenly produced no effect; proving their capability to withstand hydraulic pressure, whether steadily or intermittently applied. The cost, as we understood, is at present about the same as lead, but then expense is saved by the absence of joints. It may bo well to mention that where pipes or other articles made of gutta percha. aro exposed to the direct rays of the sun, they should bo painted white, as this effectually, it is said, prevents the material from softening. The youngest of our readers, of course, knows why. At the Lambeth Gutta Percha Works, where the same pro cesses are seen in operation, they adopt for pipes, &c., what they call Double Compound, containing, apparently, India-rubber mixed with the gutta percha, and this pro ducespoundaamreovreerflyewxieble article, and if proved to be equally stro will and lasting (of which there seams little doubt), Hi come largely into use.

The laws of the States are so framed that no protection is extended to the negro against the ruffianism or sensuality of the master. He may murder them at leisure—or burn them before a slow fire, or im pie them--the testimony of fellow slaves is not taken in the courts of law, and no other eyes witness the asses sinetion—or the rape, as the case may be. We are, we confess, surprised and disgusted at the attempt made by Mrs. Stowe to salve the wounded self-love of her countrymen, even at the risk of their taking refuge in ethical subtleties, to break down clear and moral distinctions, by taking of the " white slaves of Eng lend," and comparing the treatment of our masses by our aristocracy and capitalists to that by the planters of their negroes. To confound slavery with poverty is the favourite sophism of all tyrants. The Czar, the Emperor of Austria, the Kin: , of Prussia, talk of their paternal government, of their n fatherly care of their people, of the miseries of democracy in Manches ter and Glasgow. But the law is open and equal to the meanest British subject, protects him, believes his oath as well as that of the richest and highest, will vindicate his rights against them. He may do what he likes, speak what he thinks, go where he pleases, without let or hindrance, serve others, or be his own master as he chooses. To give liberty of action to the ignorant, will often confer upon them a power to be abused to their own hurt. " Set a beggar on horseback and he may ride to the devil." But is it any reproach to our peers and men of property that there is misery among masses over whom the law gives them no control? or is it any argument against hu man liberty, that it permits a licentiousness which may be pernicious to those who have not the faculty of self-control? The very attempt to draw a parallel between a merely poor man and a slave is to con found all moral distinctions, and betrays a dishonest and crooked habit of thought in the man who dares to insult the common sense of mankind by the comparison. Ask the hand-loom weaver if he would be a slave in Vir ginia. Ask the negro if he would change places with as • • English beggar. It is a foul act of dialectic thimble rigging to nttributa ull th e soc i a l mile 4£ English masses to English u pp er imo3c3, merely . fie" cause there i 8 misery among the Masses. merit of the American comfortable classes that there are no beggars in the States. It was not the fine gentlemen of the Broadway who prevented the beg gary, but the masses themselves, and the high value of labour in a thinly-peopled country where land is cheap. If the comfortable classes in the States were in England, they could no more, and woe/d no more, prevent misery in densely populated cities where all were free to do as they pleased, than our nobility and gentry--. But the fallacy is scarcely worthy of exposure—and here we leave the subject.—Dispatch. THE SLAVE QUESTION. Lord Carlisle, in his admirable preface to a new edition of " Uncle Tom's Cabin," and which was inserted in our columns, refers to several indica tions of a good future for " the poor forsaken ones." of whom he is the eloquent advocate. Among those indications, he places the appointment, con ferred last year by the eminently commercial, emi nently American State of Massachusetts, to the office of its Senator in Congress on his own much loved friend Mr. Charles Sumner. Lord Carlisle refers with much satisfaction to the Speech lately delivered by the Massachusetts Senator on the bearings of the Fugitive Slave-law, as " one which, by the closeness of its logic, and the masculine vigour of its eloquence, proves how all the perfections of his mind have grown up to and been delated with the inspiration of the cause which he has made his own." We have already drawn the attention of our readers to that noble speech, and we have expressed respecting it sentiments in harmony with those uttered by the Noble Lord, in the firm conviction that it will give a powerful impetus to the efforts which are now being made in the United States, in behalf of the millions whose sufferings and whose chains are constantly pouring forth their pleadings into the ears of him who will before very long break in pieces the oppressor. It will add to the full understanding of the great question of slavery in the United States in the pre• sent aspect of that question, if we farther advert to that comprehensive view which Mr. Sumner has lately given of the whole subject, and gne of the principal features of whose speech we have already noticed. The speech under consideration, referring to the manner in which the question of human freedom in America has been compromised by the Congress, shows that any compromise finally closing the dis cussion of slavery under the Constitution is tyran nical, absurd, and impotent. Slavery, it is shown, can exist only by virtue of a positive law, and as it has no such positive support in the Constitution, it cannot exist within the national jurisdiction. Mr. Sumner asserts that the United States' constitution nowhere recognises property in man, and that, according to its true interpretation, freedom, and not slavery, is national, while slavery, and not freedom, is sectional. In this spirit (says the orator) the national Government was first organized under Washington, himself an abolitionist,: sur rounded by abolitionists, while the whole country, by its church, its colleges, its literature, and all its treat ♦oices, was united against slavery, and the national flag, at the same time, nowhere within the national territory, covered a single slave. Mr. Summer reminds the Congress that the national Go vernment is a Government of delegated powers ; and as among these there is no power to support slavery, the institution cannot be national, nor can Congress in any way legislate in its behalf. The true way to secure peace and safety to the Republic (he argues) is by the recognition and firm establishment of this principle. In reference to the late provision for the surrender of fugitive slaves, Mr. Sumner shows that it was in troduced tardily and with hesitation, and adopted with little discussion, and then for a long period after was regarded with comparative indifference. The Fugitive Slave Act, unconstitutional in so many res pects, is especially so on two grounds—first, as an usurpation by Congress of powers not granted by the Constitution, and an infraction of rights secured to the States ; and, secondly, as a denial of trial by jury in a question of personal liberty and a suit at com mon law. Mr. Sumner appeals to the recollections and to the nationality of his brother senators, by referr t i o n g to the the resistance w hi c h th e ir f o r e fathers m British Stamp A c t, a n d w hich they obeyref t us e u e d d e l co gitie v only for reasons which would make Act, like this, h Slave Act also illegal. That former was a usurpation by ia by jury in to it under th i e ar ßti i r a ish mentofpowers not be longing Constitution, and an in e c f r o a n c d t l i y o n , b o e f o a rights t wbelasonagdineol of trial g ,, th to a t t h a e s coloniesberty ; i s en f d a r , certain cases of property, above property, so is the outrage perpetrated by the American Congress far above that perpetrat e d by the British Parliament." Finally, Mr. Sumner strengthens his case by strikingly illustrating the fact, that the Slave Act has not that support in the public sentiment of the States, where it is to be exe cuted, which is the life o f all law, and which pru dence and the precept of Washington require. The "precept of Washington," to which Mr Sum ner alludes, was one which he wrote on the occasi on of the escap e o f one o f hi s own slaves —f or be held slaves u n til h e h a d li ght enough to di sce rbissin, when he em anc i pa t e d them —h e wro t e to thee desire of collector of Portsmo u th, part i cu l ar l y express ing h Mrs Washington t o have the slave res tored, t but adding this:— "Id a s request d that exe i s t t e ich a do not mean, however, by violent measures should . h b t e h u e used case if she has ad herents in the minds of Rather than either of these mob or a riot, which wouldhswheeorsiewndctbhsisfpiwesolsrleindegveeintizu,nsemasy) forego her services altogether; I also, which is of infinite impor tance."should happen, and the example, "the precept of Washington." contrary to the sound good sense, Need and proper which pervade it, is the Fugitive which cannot be enforced without " ex proper Slave Law, a na w o'b or a riot," and uneasy sensations in tchiteinmginds of all well-disposed citizens ? As Mr. Summer reminded his brother legislators, the exist ing act cannot be executed without "violating the precept of Washington." Rage, tumult, commotion, mob riot, violence, and death, are the results con stantly following the efforts to execute this vile law. " Workmen are violently dragged from employments, to which they are wedded by years of successful labour ; husbands are ravished from their wives, and parents from children. Everywhere there is disturbance ; at Detroit, Buffalo, Harrisburgh, Syra cuse, Philadelphia, New York, Boston. At Buffalo,. the fugiti ve was crue l ly knocked down b y a l og of his wounded head. At Harrisburg the fugitive was shot . 2 , t Christiana the slave-bunter was shot. And everywhere in the free States the law succumbs to the will of the people. In this manner are eloquent advocates of the slave in the United States pleading the cause cf freedom. their any One such orator as Mr. Sumner will produce many others, and encourage them to consecrate p • owe'rs to the cause of freedom, until that cause become triumphant.
