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

COURTENAY, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. "Those who complain most loudly are those only who know not how to use the common instruments geons has been inarced with all kinds of violence, an indifference about the simple cure of diseases, and a passion for operations and all the excesses and horrors of surgery."--John Bell's Surgical Observations.—" In proof of his views he (Mr. Ceurtenay) has given the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated. Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful." —Protesstr Liners on the Treatment of Stricture.

MOSES and SON, their Style and Cut superseding that of every house in the world; and their celebrated Boots, ex pressly made for Sportsmen, being proof against wet and damp. E. MOSES and SON'S Clothing for the present time is designed with surprising ingenuity, being light and waterproof, el egant and win fortable, and in variety which affords inimitable o pportunities for selecting suitable attire fur railway excursions, for youths' and children's wear, for every class and for all occupations ; each article being cheaper, better, and more fashionable at E. MOS ES and SON'S than any dress which can be obtained elsewhere. ENCOURAGEMENT FOR EMIGRANTS. M. L. Faucher, Min ister of the Interior of France, h as arrang e d facts and calculations p roving that the present Gold Di ggings go on for twenty - five y ears, and will, during that period, be a great ay benefit to all the States in Europe : nor can the standard value of therefore go gold decrease before th at time. Emigrants may to Australia with the most flattering prospects of success; but before they embark they should visit the great Outfitting Establishment of E. MOSES and SON, where a Department is expressly devoted to Emigrants' Outfitting, where all the Goods, Utensils, Clothing, &c., &c., they will require are always ready. Being prepared with the ex?erience f the most extensive outfitters in the world, E. MOSES and SON'S Outfits are more suitable and cheaper than the inferior goods offered elsewhere. All requisite information relative to sailing of vessels, &c., and full Lists of Outfits, may be had on application, or post free, to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanliko falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment" or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons. They beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITU ANY OTHER Bonn IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London C 8 6, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

The rally of the dirty legion to maintain this citadel, after the convention for its surrender has been signed, is persevered in. New recruits gather round their standard. The Derbyite organ in the morning daily press brags of the accession of the Whig organ in the evening daily press. The champions of the weekly re-unions cf horned cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, with all their filth in Smithfield, evince a fervour in the cause ardent as ever burned in the breasts of the knights of old, who encountered there amid the crashing of spears; or the martyrs, who there found a fiery death. But the poor dumb brutes who are goaded into madness in Smith field, can preach more eloquently against the perpe tuation of the market than the most voluble of the human donkeys who espouse that cause. On the af ternoon of Mouday--while "able editors" were in diting paragraphs in laud of the market—a bullock, which had been purchased there and driven to Clare-market to be slaughtered, broke loose from its executioners and charged the assem bled multitude and chance passengers. In the course of an hour or so it threw down two children, injuring them so severely that they had to be carried to the hospital ; struck down a female, gashing her face and laying her nose open so that she was carried to the hospital in great agony ; tossed a child to a considerable distance so that it was injured by the fall; knocked down an old woman, propelling her to a distance of fifteen feet, so that her forehead was gashed ; fell foul of a boy and terribly gashed his left thigh. This is the execution ascertained to have been done by the maddened animal in the course of a charge along the Strand and Fleet-street, through the crowds which throng that thoroughfare at mid day. We are complacently told by the advocates for the preservation of Smithfield-market that the inha bitants of that locality, being as it were "to the manner born," rather like than otherwise what would be to other persons an intolerable nuisance. A rea sonable degree of scepticism may be indulged as to the relish,—even by the denizens of Smithfield,—for having their children and old women tossed and gored after the fashion we have just described. Eels may get accustomed to be skinned alive, but human beings are more sensitive. And it is clear from the misad ventures of Monday that the inhabitants of me tropolitan districts, tolerably remote from Smith field, are endangered by the practice of driving bullocks to and from that central locality. Every week as soon as the clocks from the church towers proclaim midnight—the close of the Sabbath—the leading thoroughfares of London are crammed with bullocks, and detachments of this brute army, more or less numerous, continue to pass and re-pass till a late hour of Monday evening. They jostle their way through —to say nothing of adult males—through troops of little children going to, or returning from, school, old semi-palsied dames repairing to market, trim damsels engaged in their favourite pursuits of shopping. From Islington to Brixton, from Mile-end to Kensington, the weak and defenceless are once a week exposed to the caprices of infuriated brutes with sharp horns, and many an accident occurs which escapes the notice even of the übiquitous penny-a line corps. And yet we are asked to believe that nothing would be gained by transferring the market now held in Smithfield to some distant locality. Why, one should have thought it palpable even to a City drover that if horned cattle, suffering from thirst at midsummer, and goaded by the sharp-pointed staves of drovers, were interne (as the French President would call it) in the outskirts of Bow, instead of being allowed to range at large through the whole of the metropolis, the number of individuals who in curred danger by crossing their path would be im mensely diminished. But there is no real necessity for exposing any of our suburbs to the unwelcome presence of those dan gerous visitants. The cattle purchased for the con sumption of the metropolis are at present either slaughtered in that vicinity, and their quarters con veyed in market carts to the shops of.the salesmen, or they are driven along the streets (like the hero of Monday's casualties) to slaughter-houses more or less remote. Now, eight or ten miles can be travelled by railway in the course of some twenty minutes ; such a brief period would, therefore, be the whole addition to the time required at present to transport the car case from the shambles to the shop, were ,the markets and slaughter-houses relegated to a distance of eight or ten miles fromaeandou. - Sir cattle meritets with slaughter-hodses might be established on six great lines of railway for the accommodation of six divisions of London. Less than an hour would suffice to convey the master butchers at any time to and from the market ; less than half an hour to bring every morning by an early train the meat slaugh tered for the day to one or other of the six principal railway stations. The number of market carts re quired to convey it from the stations to the shops would not be greater than is now required to convey it from the slaughter-houses to the shops ; and instead o f being, as now, concentrated in a great measure in Newgate-street, they would be spread over six remote localities. The filth and' garbage of the slaughter houses, instead of being accumulated in one i mmense mass, in a place whence it can with difficulty b e re moved, would be kept apart in comparatively small mass es, and almost instantly be carted off as ma nure to the surrounding fields. The gambols played by the maddened bullock of Monday all along the Strand and Fleet-street afford the last illustration of the danger to life and limb with which the perpetuation of Smithfield-market is at tended. Yet as Sydney Smith had no hopes of reform in railway administration until a bishop should have been burned, so possibly the Smithfield nuisance may flourish till a brace of Lord Mayors have been tossed and gored. Perhaps, however, the presence of cholera at Danzig may accelerate the evacuation of the cell- . tral district of London by its present foul and dan gerous occupants. (From the Herald.) Again, an d yet again ! Two more leadingarticl o es f Smithfield upon Smithfield-market ! F or on e reason only do we allude to them —namely, to keep before the public eye the thaterledmwarikllabnloewfavcet,nture to nonseayofththaet the intended opponents removal, as at present con templated and p repar i ng, will be any improvement. The most rabid of the free -trade journals rushes into the fray yesterday i n the following polite fashion : "' Smithfield to the rescue.' The rally of the dirty legion to maintain this citadel, after the convention for its surrender has been signed, is persevered in. N ow recruits gather round their standard. The Derbyite organ in the morning daily press brags of the accession of the Whig organ in the evening daily press. The champions of the weekly re-unions of horned cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, with all their filth in Smithfield, evince a fervour in the cause ardent as ever burned in the breasts of the knights of old,wholeneountered there amid the crashing of spears; or the martyrs, who there found a fiery death." Here is no want of hostility to us or to Smithfield. Yet even this assailant will not venture to say that the change now proposed will be a change for the better. Like the Globe, Spectator, &c., he desiderates change, but not this change. Here is the new view of what is required : "Now, eight or ten miles can be travelled by railway in the course of some twenty minutes; such a brief period would, therefore, be the whole addition to the time required at present to transport the carcase from the shambles to the shop, where the markets and slaughter-houses relegated to a distance of eight or ten miles from London. Six cattle-markets with slaughter. houses might be established on six great lines of rail way for the accommodation of six divisions of London. Less than an hour would suffice to convey the master butchers at any time to and from the market; less than half an hour to bring every morning by an early train the meat slaughtered for the day to one or other of the six principal railway stations. The number of market carts required to convey it from the stations to the shops would not be greater than is now required to convey it from the slaughter-houses to the shops; and instead of being, as now, concentrated in a great measure in New gsteestreet, they would be spread over six remote loca lities." This would be a great and total change, but it is m not the change proposed in the Bill of 1851. That measure which the C or p oration ar e now engaged in carrying out—appears to have no friends. At least, while several journals have taken part in the controversy, we have not yet met with a single argument in favour of the change which is now about to be made. IMPROVEMENTS AT THE WEST-END. It . having been res o l ve d b y th e com missioners, connected with the ri age ways paving board of the parish of St. James, Piccadilly, to relay and improve the car in that locality during the present Parliamentary vacation, Mr. S. Carey , the patentee of i the concave and c onvex wood pavement, of the same kind as that l a id i n L o thb ur y, by the Bank, n Cornhill, and other pl aces i n the City, has received instructions from the commi ss i oners to take - up the existing . wood pavement in Piccadilly ( wh i ch lie laid down about eight years ago), and to relay the same in Jerrayn-street, which thoroughfare was previously paved with wood by the Metropolitan Nyood paving Company. It is expected that the whole of the work will bo c omp l eted previously to the opening of the Houses of Parliament in November next. The whole of Piccadilly will also, during the same period, be l a id with four..inch granite cubes of stone by Mr. Chadwic k, the C i ty pavier, and that portion of the same line of road leading from the mansion of th e D u k e of Devonsh i re to Apsley-house, previously macadamized, is now nearly covered with stone, au thorities connected and Co., by order of the parochial with the parish o f St. Gorge) laid by .

The intelligence from the seat of war continues to be of the same dubious character as ever, and it is the private opinion of those who: have cully conversant with military proceedings on the frontier that the settlement o f t h is vexatious con t es t is :as far off as it was twel ve mont h s shim On the Ist of July Gener a l C athcart issued a pro clamation, calling for the ass i stance of every man capable of bearing arms, and on the b e en practi 90th hi s Excel lency issued an explanatory circular, is which it is stated that all he required was a deputation of all the fighting men who can really coma to represent the district, and for thos e wto canno t come to assist those who can.

The mother count ry h as sacrif i ce d muc h life and treasure, while its only real advantage was the possession of the seaport of Simon's Bay- The protection of certain colonists who settled on the frontier 30 years since might be considered an obli gation,must probably be the last Rear r carried on at the ha` their limits. This costof the et British obl G ig o a v t e io r n n s me h nt. The object of Ge neral Cathcart's intended expeditio n was twofold — first, to test the willingness of thg colonists; and se condly, if they came forward, to demonstrate to the Kafirs that, independently of the Imperial force, there was sufficient strength in the colony to chastise the enemy should he again attack th e f rontier. If the General found the colonists unwilli ng, be had ample force to cross the Kei and vindicate the national honour, but this would convince the world that the colonists were deficient in their former energy, and their chief opponent Kreli would ever after hold them in con t empt. After re turning from the expedition beyond the Kei, the Governor says it will be his duty to report to the home Government if the colonists bad not rendered him proper support, in that case he will probably be ordered to withdraw his army, wh en hi s parting re commendation to them would be t o k eep less sheep and oxen, and more shepherds and herdsmen, for wild men and wild beasts would soon recover their ancient sovereignty in the Fish River and Zuurberg, and the colonists will not be able to drive them out as their fathers did in the olden time. The files of Cape papers give the usual accounts of cattle lilting by combined Hottentots and Kafirs, and of reprisals by the regular forces and burghers. The only k at er attackieef byColonel worthy of Buller,not ce of theas one made on the Rifles, on the 24th of July, when the Kafirs were lu re d f rom the i r afeignedthererretailtl and were t h us ex posed g t h e () by We fu full fire of suf fering a loss of more than 100, while only three of Colonel Buller's force were wounded. Under date of the 2d of August,Lieutenant-Go vernor Darling has addressed a circular to the Civil Commissioners of the western d istricts, in which, after referring to General Cathcarts letter of the 20th of July to the eastern provinces, he says that, by the last newspaper accounts from Graham's Town and Port Elizabeth, the Governor's views had been promptly responded to, and that c onsiderable contri butions had been cheerfully rendered towards equip ping the contingent from the eastern districts. Lieu tenant Governor Darling then gives instructions to the Commissioners to make known through the field cornets that they are ready to receive contributions in money or kind towards the equipment of the eastern volunteers, to be forwarded to the Treasurer-General in Cape Town, and sending at the same time to the Governor's secretary accurate lists of the names of the contributors. A private correspondent, writing from Cape Town, on the 3d of August, says,— " The Hellespont leaves this afternoon for England, after a rapid passage out of 32 days. The intelligence she takes home is in so far satisfactory as showing the decided line of policy General Cathcart has adopted in endeavouring to bring this inglorious but expen -sive-war to a- speedy- ttsrattnasts'n. ..he most important dccument that has appeared since last mail is the Governor's appeal to the eastern province burghers, to join in the great expedition to the Kei, and, it is roost satisfactory to add, with some pro spect of success. The Lie utenant-Governor has issued circulars to those of the western province, urging them by contribution, either in the shape of money or ar ticles, to assist in tho equipment brethren. This is looked up on as a wise measure, an d w ill, o f their eastern there is little doubt, be gen erally responded to. ( B ot h y these notices appear belo w .)

" There are persons who attempt to prejudice the good opinion I now cherish of the people of this part of the colony, which I am appointed to govern, who tell me that my predecessor was disappointed on a similar occa sion, and that I sm too sanguine in my expectations that the call which I have made will be duly and cordially responded to. I will not believe them. I have myself witnessed too many brilliant examples of patience under misfortunes, of energy, and of courage among the colonists of these northern districts, which are more im mediately under my own eye, to give the slightest atten tion to such unworthy rumours. "I will wait and form my own judgment on the event; but should I be disappointed I wish you to remind the inhabitants of your district of the moral of the fable, which says, that if, when the waggon is in a hole, the waggoner will not put his own shoulder to the wheel, Jupiter will not help him. "In preparing to go to the Kei I have not been un mindful of internal security. Three whole regiments and numerous armed levies will be left within the fron tier to support an ample police force, which either is or ought to be in activity, in the protection of the eastern districts; an equal force will occupy British Kafraria, beyond your frontier, during my short absence. " When I return from my expedition beyond the Kei, I must make up my report to her Majesty's Government, not only as to the result of: that expedition, but as to whether I have found the people of this colony grateful for the support which has been afforded them, and willing and able to exert themselves in their own cause, and therefore deserving, or the contrary, as the case may be, and whether, therefore, I consider their cause worth fighting for or not. "In the latter event, I should probably be ordered to withdraw my army; and my parting advice to the colonists of the eastern half of this colony, at least, could only be —keep fewer sheep and oxen, and provide your selves with more shepherds and herdsmen; for wild men and wild beasts will soon again recover their ancient so vereignty in the Fish River and Zuurberg, et ultra; and you will be unable to drive them out as your fathers did in the olden time. "I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, 66 GEO. CATHOART , Lieut.-General, " Governor and Commander-in-Chief. " The Civil Commander of The latest intelligence from Kafirland and the border is as follows ; it is dated August 3 By yesterday's post from the frontier we learn that a most diabolical outrage had been perpetrated near Fort Pato, in Kafraria, by a body of about two hun dred Kafirs, who attacked the cattle herds on the after noon of the 23d, killed and roasted of a fire one of them (a Hottentot), and took prisoner a Kafir, sweeping off at the same time sixty-two head of cattle belonging to the post. The marauders were of the tribes of Tola, Stock, and Seyolo. " An attack had also been made on the evening of the 26th on some waggons at the foot of Woest's near Graham's Town, by a band of rebel Hottentots, who captured two spans of oxen. Commandant Currie was in pursuit with his mounted police. " A spirited affair took place in the Waterkloof on the morning of the 24th inst., when Colonel Buller, having received information that a large number of Kafirs were congregated at Mundell's Krantz, moved from his camp with a strong column of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, to surprise them. This, it is reported, was successfully effected, and the savages exposed to a severe fire of small arms, after which, having been lured from their fast nesses by a feigned retreat of the troops, they were ex posed for a length of time to the full fire of the Artil lery and Riflemen, suffering, it is said, a loss of at least 100 killed, while the casualties in Colonel Bailer's force were but three wounded. " The Graham's Town Journal announces that it has been officially reported to the Governor by the ll'Slambie Commissioner, Captain Maclean, that most of the hostile Kafka, with the exception of those with Ma oomo, had dispersed themselves among the friendly tribes. Sandilli, it is affirmed, has with him not morn than twenty followers.' The outrage mentioned above hardly corroborates this. " Most strenuous exertions were being made to equip a respectable Burgher force, to meet the Governor on the Gth inst., for the grand movement against Kreili. Numerous volunteers have been enrolled, and consider able subscriptions made at Graham's Town and other border towns, as also at Port Elizabeth; and it was ex pected that a strong muster of efficient men would take place. There was, , h owever, much difficulty iu pro curing horses, and the country is described as being dreadfully parched with drought. " The Mail of thi s morning reports that a fierce attack was made on F or t White about the 25th mat., the assail ants being fortunately beaten off; also that Mr. Carlisle's valuable cattle, so lately recovered from the enemy, had again been swept off, and, it was feared, irrecoverably lost." e take the subjoined "monthly summary" from the Capc Town Mail of the 3d of August : " Alter eighteen months of harassing and destructive warfare between the British Government and the Kafir tribes, during which the inhabitants of this colony have been exposed to an untold amount of sufferings and loss, it would be a grateful task to have to report the cessa tion of hostilities, or even such an approximation to a satisfactory termination of the war as would enable the frontier colonists to return to their deserted homesteads, and resume the peaceful occupations of husbandry and trade. With grief, however, we still have to record the continuance of this miserable struggle. Thu scene of contest is not yet even removed from the ruined districts which bore the brunt of the first outbreak. The chiefs Sandilli and Macomo e t with the remnant of their tribes, although repeatedly and gallantly attacked by the troops and burghers, still hold possession of their impregnable fastnesses in the Amatolas and the Waterkloof, while marauding. bands of loose Kafirs,' with their Hottentot rebel allies, still roam in detached parties, carrying terror and devastation throughout the open country; end even within the last few days attacking herds and sweeping off cattle within sight of Graham's Town, the metropolis of the eastern districts. "Pursuing the course of events, wo find, by general orders since published, that the attack upon the enemy in the Buffalo mountains, noticed in our last, was made in consequence of information having been received of the existence in that quarter of • permanent lagers of the rebel Hottentots, who, associated with the hostile Kafirs recently issuing forth in large marauding bands of mounted men, committed great ravages, and alarmed the peaceable inhabitants within the colony.' It will be re membered that the task of routing this formidable horde was most gallantly performed by Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre, with only a small portion of the foroe destined for the purpose; and the spirited and soldier-like manner in which the service was performed has elicited the , warmest expressions of approbation from General Cath cart, who declared his intention to bring to the special notice of the Duke of Wellington the meritorious conduct of Captain the Hon. P. Herbert, Captain Green, and the other officers and men of the two companies of the 43d Regiment, who were alone engaged on the oc casion. " Information was shortly afterwards received that about GOO K.afirs and rebel Hottentots were assembled in the neighbourhood of the ruined village of Auck land, threatening au attack upon Alice. Lieutenant- Colonel Napier was immediately ordered to move over the hills from Blinkwater, where he had been stationed, taking with him three companies of the 91st Regiment, a squadron of Cape Mounted Rifles, a company of the Loyal Kat River Hottentots, a detachment of the enrolled Fingoes, and 'two guns. A reinforcement of two companies of the 2d (Queen's Regiment) were also ordered to join him from Fort Hare, and General Cath cart proceeded in person to the camp. The force mov e d forward at 4 A.M., and reached Auckland at daybreak, when the lager and kraals were at once vigorously as sailed. The,onemy, however, offered no resistance, but fled with their cattle over the tops of the mountains, into the Amatola mountains, where pursuit was fouad to be 'im practicable.' Eighty recently erected huts were de stroyed, and several saddles, knapsacke, and other arti cles belonging to the Sappers recently killed at the Ko nap, were recovered.; His Excellency having witnessed this operation, and satisfied himself as to the safety of Alice, returned :to bead -quarters—Lieutenant-Colonel Napier falling back upon his former position at Bliek water. " On the 6th, 7th, and 81 of July, General Cathcart. having with him the 60th Rifles, a detachment of Royal tapers and Miners, a company of enrolled Fingoes,_ wo guns, penetrated and scoured a large portion,,?stcto7 monutain ridges bounding the Waterkloot. m id.

After en d eavour i ng, almost success fully,) to draw the little garrison into an ambuscade, they sounded the 'clos e ' an d th e ' a d vance, ' and moved on to the post. Captain Wright, with only twenty three men of the 91st, then marched out to meet them, and, being joined by a party of the Kat River , drove them off with loss. i "An enumeration of the various encounters which havo taken placo daring the month, within the colony, between the predatory bands of the enemy and th e scat tered farmers of the frontier districts, would present a distressing picture of ruinous disasters, manfully but ineffectually struggled against. At this moment life and property are scarcely anywhere secure within 100 miles of Kafirland, except in the immediate vicinity of military posts. Productive industry, within that wide space, is everywhere paralysed; and the inhabitants of the best portion of the Eastern Province are reduced to the misery of seeing their once fertile lands thrown out of cultivation, their valuable flocks of the finest wool bearing sheep in the world plundered, driven about, and destroyed—their labourers dispersed, and either enticed away to join the savage enemy on one side, or be em bodied in scarcely less savage bands of irregular levies on the other—while their families are kept in continual alarm, liable at any moment to be huddled together in lagers, or exposed to all the demoralisation of crowded camps. "The call which has been made by General Cathcart upon all the men of the eastern districts capable of bear ing arms to meet him at the Imvani, beyond the Kei, appears likely to be well responded to, as a last desperate effort to pnt and end to this detestable war. Consider able sums have been subscribed in some of the frontier towns by those who are prevented by circumstances from giving personal se rv i ce , i n or d er to equip and assist those who are prep ar i ng to turn out. " A report has bee n c i rcu l ate d o f an alleged discovery of a conspiracy amon g some o f th e Hottentots of the Bethelsdorp missiona r y i nst i tut i on to join the rebels, and several of these m e n h ave b een comm itted to prison by a local functionary who is known to have long enter tained a strong feeling of hostility to that institution; but the charge has not been traced to any satisfactory foundation. "The territories in the neighbourhood of the colony— Kefirland always excepted—appear to be generally in a peaceful state. The trade between the colony and the Orange River Sovereignty, the Trans Vaal Republic, and Natal is rapidly increasing; and to this we hope soon to be able again to add the once valuable Kafir trade. " A great impetus has been given to business by the opening of the extended lines of screw staam communi cation to India and Australia; and efforts are being made, though tardily, to provide secure harbour accom modation fur the crowds of shipping now directing their course towards our port, on their way to the golden regions. _ _ alreldy " A reward of 1001. w a s off e red last week by Lieute nant-Governor Darling f o r th e discovery of co a l in the Caps attained.

COILS AT Tan CAPE.—The Lieutenant-Goveraor has offered a reward of not less than 50/. nor exceeding 100/. to any person or persons who shall prove to the satisfaction of the Government the existence of a good coal within such a distance of Table Bay or Simon's Bay as will render it possible to deliver it at either of these places us cheap as when imported from other countries. Thin layers of coaly matter—that is, of compressed and hardened vegetable matter, have been found near the surface in vaibus parts of Southern Africa; and, though not very probable, it is not without precedent, that a bed of coal reposes in the Great Valley between Table Mountain and the Tygerberg and Stellenbosch hills. A vast deposit of coal has been found in the state of Virginia, the lowest of the beds resting imme diately on the fundamental granite. Such a cup of granite may possibly be found in the Cape Downs, filled by what are called the coal measures, the edges of which may crop out about Tygerberg, Wynber t g, and other a m sf e op d ao i nt a d t a e t l i y nt h o e l: hb u ea s elevations.
