MIDLAND -RA I. LW A Y. Newby Park, Oat. 21, 1 - Sir,—On behalf of f.t.e Directors of the Midland Railway coin- NAY. I am requested to acknowledge the receipt of an Address from ..alaiber of Shareholders resident in Liverpool and the neighbour "o which you have transmitted to them. The Directors would have been content merely to acknowledge To receipt of the Addreis, had it not contained an imputation upon them, Which they cannot pass over in silence. The Shareholders Commence their address by ascribing the depression of their pro- Pert)? to " the want of public confidence in the integrity of the ma nagement." The Directors, therefore, desire that you will immedi atelY furnish them with a list of the specific charges involved in this statement, in order that they may convene a Special Meeting of the b"VanY, and have the opportunity of refuting the accusation thus r v o i u d g u,e ht s ag w a h in o s iy t ia th o e integrity of a body of gentlemen who feel that e 3, stand as high in the estimation of the public at large as the in appended their names to this calumnious docu hent, which comes with a peculiarly bad grace from a body of Share elders who, prior to the appointment of the present Directors, were ry receiving* a two-and-a-half per cent. dividend. Since that time dividerds have been increased to six and seven per cent. In the meantime I may be allowed to offer to you, as one of the li harehoiclers who have signed the address, a few remarks upon the Several suggestions contained in it. 1. You call upon the Directors to close the capital account. No ?arson is more fully aware than yourself that the shareholders have m~power of passing a vote to that effect at any half-yearly tin power But supposing the development of a new traffic, producing itayreovf 60 0001., 20,0001. or 30,0001. per annum, should require an out how absurd it would be to say that such outlay ought to be taken oat of income. 2 . Yen call upon the'Directors to examine and pay all outstanding ac counts orthe solicitors.;These accounts are now undergoing a strict e xamination, and as soon as the solicitors are satisfied to accept the amount thee Directors think due to them, their bills, will be paid. kat 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- V o ters when they were urged to settle the demands of the contrac . js, thermight have "sacrificed a very large sum for the sake of an uc Tediate 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 17,7231. 15s. 7d. Your objection to any further Parliamentary ex rases being incurred, without the sanction of the Shareholders, is 14110 ; it is clear that no Parliamentary expenses of any importance can be incurred without such sanction. a. Yon cull for a reduction of the salaries of our engineers. We have only one engineer employed upon the lines, and, considering pigm”" "1-uues Of that gentleman, the Directors do not think him over .. Increase You reqaire that stations shall not be enlarged. Should tr affic • how is it to be conducted without Increased accommoda tsn . If the Shareholders think the Di re ctors incompetent to decide „ " 1 "" Matters of this kind, they had much better remove them, and aPPolat others in whom they have greater confidence. 5. The Direc tors are called nponto enter into no further contracts. It Mast have escaped your recollection that at the last half-y early meeting gave an assurance that the Directors did not intend to e ngage in any further contracts. 6 ' You allude to traffic which you do not consider remunerat ive to the C ompany. The Directors are entitled to ask you to be more el Pheit• and to state specifically what traffic is meant. a • You think the number of trains ought to be reduced. This is a question which must beleft te the judgment of the Directors ; for w t hing can be more difficult than to determine , from time to time, ,what trains ought to be run. - I consider it would be an unwise and Inalsolitle measure to take - off the express train, which you suggest e hanld be done. g• The alt erat i on you propose i n th e mode of appointing Directors W7ll 7 1 1; 0 1111re a new Act of Parliament. b " ask the Directors to purchase all stores by public contract. have no doubt you are aware that this is generally done. but it not Lmtreqia ai ,•_ ay happens that the Directors can purchase articles in the often much bel o w th e contract price, and when-they can do so they ien avail themselves of the opportunity. cite have now ans were d o r c ommented upon every point of the stafad except that which relates to the depreciation of the value of tn 1 - ea, with which the Directors feel that they have little or nothing the Vio• Tisch' duty is toobtain all the traffic they can, and to pay S hareholders good'divldends.: T he address y ou h ave sen t i s s igned by seventy Shareholders, this T i o a small proportion of the en' ire number, which excee ds 8,00. 31 0 1 a re holder of capital stock in the company to the amount of ,() a and you describe yotrself in the address as a broker. From bo r r ealserience in that business, I have no doubt you are well aale Come nn the Public how'the old railway stock of this company has somuch depreciated. r n3 l, position as Chairman. of seve railway companies, I have received. ceeron, „ ce , rtis numerous complaining. letters, all, I am bound to say, isened in a courteous and respectful manner ; and I have answered ethoer4 by assuring the parties of the soundness and stability of the over which I preside. The acknowledgments I have re sti,!id in reply have been generally satisfactory; many of the parties other that they were holders of stock in a variety of foreign and lin gew it old -nes, and that they were compelled to sell the stock of and - 1 - 0 Pay I,r the new. When the supply exceeds the demand, b l i nen a regular combination exists to depress railway property, aa a t Q l. eve any course which Directors may pursue will bo of little paw Yet, after all, the amount of stock transferred in the com th t es over which I preside has been less than usual, which shows n o a .. t nanY of the quotations of sales are merely nominal. I have t ear of 'not seeing railway property again placed in a better fop ion in the market, though not at the extravagant price it has heretofore arrived at, and then its proper and true value ;2 1 , 1 be maintained in a manner that will be more satis factory to all parties. Consbls have been at 47, they are cow at groat and . have been at 100. If you or your friends can, by ally __"erts advance them to 92 or 93, I have no doubt you will sae a advance in railway property. The Bank Stock has paid 10 Per cent., and is now only paying seven, and the price has fallen con aide • r4 b l Y - ; but no one ever doubted the integrity of the management Of th e Bank. The surprise to me is, that in the „excitements and c _ omm otions which have prevailed, railway traffic has been so well rlasorted. Even the present amount of traffic justifies the anticipa- I n that the rate of dividends will not undergo any material ; and this remark applies to all the lines over which I have j_te.Ozhoo:our.to preside. I wish S could call the serious and grave ,".tt af the chairman , of the London Stock Exchange to a pub lication is !Skied Weekly, proressing to be under the sanction of that b o d y. l am aware that the statements w hi c h appear i n th a t paper are Stated no t t o b e -p u bli s h e d un d er th e a uthority of the Stock ... zellange ; 1. ut I cannot close my eyes to the effect that they pro duce oat the mind of the public, who naturally consider that they have thatsanction. 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 tell deacy is - to depreciate railway property, it would be well that she - - Stock Exchange should disavow a publication Which is calculated 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 seeding a list of the charges im pugning the integrity of the Directors, who are anxious to meet and r epel the calumnious imputations that have been made against ,"n. Nothing but a sense of duty to the la rge body of Share holders who have hitherto given their confidence induces the Dl rectors to retain their seat af. the Board; and as soon as that con eklence is withdrawn they will most readily and gladly resign their trust into _ether hands by 'yam the affairs of the Company may be More ably conducted, I Perhaps might observe, before I conclude my letter, without ple dging myself to the statement, but merely giving it as my own asdivldual opinion, that I believe another 41. call upon the 501. e arcs, with th e 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 Pl i th c Company are under the consideration of the Directors, in _ er to enable them to lay a statement before the Proprietors, Which it is anticipated will be done within a very early period. .

On the Principle of Mutual Contribution. ♦ Tills Institution, notwithstanding its local name, has long been fa „,;)tirab, known to all classes in Great Britain and Ireland. It is the test and most successful Life Assurance Office in Scotland ; and, Zh the exception of the London Equitable, it is believed. to be the 'lcat ex` — ' , ..tsive upon the mutual assurance principle of any in the e ctintry. The affairs of the Soci e ty's a re ca r e f u lly investigated at the end of cach Period of seven years, and it is provided by the articles of constitution that at .least one-third of the ascertained surplus or fpro shall be reserved as a Guara n tee Fund. This fund (as well as t li the other funds of the Society) belongs solely to the members r. sec ures the stability of the Institution, and prevents the profits _..otrk being diverted, as must be the case in all proprietary offices, I ,r il cni the individual benefit of the assured to increase the dividends of e stockholders. ~.At the last septennial period of investigation (viz., 31st December, as'°ls), it wag ascertained that the Surplus Fund amounted to upwards ide4,ooo/., frosts 'which the Directors were enabled, after setting _ upwards of 204,000/. 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 frost 31st December, 1838, on the accumulated amount of the Ori ginal suing as sured, and the previously declared additions ; being, 21 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, IL An addition at the rate of Two per Cent. per Annum on the a ccumulated amount cf the original Assurances, and previously de clared additions, for each Premium paid after 31st December, 184 5 , provided the party had at his death been insured five years. Thus !n the case of a party insured in the early years of the Society's ex !!tence, dying after payment of the premium for the year 1852, t he addition fo r th e seven years from 31st December, 1845, to 31st -De cember, 1852, would be upwards of 2:5 per cent., or at the rate of upwards of THREE AND A HALF PEE CENT. PER ANNUM Or 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 pay ment 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 be 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 Premium, in the year thus showing a on the 1848 .. 1917 19 101 Bonus - equal to per cent. / original S um upwards of insured. 1840 .. 1990 7 5 II MI 1852 ••2062 14 11 t, To the Repr esen t a ti ves of the Original Member, who m ay die _ lO the year 1852, after payment of the Pr em i um app li ca bl e to that .year, there will thus be paid MOMS THAN DOUBLE TUE AMOUNT OF VRII OB.IGINAL INsuhaNcn. ZThe members who joined the Society at later periods will, in like anner, derive important benefits, and the Directors feel confident eat the more the principl e s of th e S oc i e t y are cons i dered and un !lrstood, the more satisfied will the members be, not on ly th a t th ey !lave connected themselves wi - .11 a sate and flourishing institution, ill.cet that whilst benefits so great are coufetrred upon those who have l i 3 , ‘ n long Connected with it, the interests of the later members are " .110 Way overlooked.

" Sia,—l feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unsoli cited testimony to the excellence of your ` Frampton's Pill of Health,' which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and wry sueerior ge neral medicine.

Why the meeting, from all I could gather, was one To decide on the merits of MOSES and SON. The excellent Chairman, Sound Judgm en.t, Esquire, Having said a few words Is ith regard to attire, Mr Shoulders, a man of respectable note, Wished to ntake a remark on his WAISTCOAT AND COAT. "I think," said the speaker, "you all ought to 'TIM 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 TROWSERS, But, alas! as to speaking, I cannot tell how, Sirs ; For the speaker's so _bad, 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 adhere As staunchly as ever!" (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") This speaker was foll , wed by one Mr. Foot, Who rose with a dignified stamp on ,big 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." And here Mr. Foot lave another loud stamp. Then the Chairman arose, and was happy to find The whole of the speakers so much of a mind. " And," said he, "on behalf of the ladies, good Sirs, I feel it my duty to speak of the FUR& If I did not pronounce them the best yon could wear, I consider I should not be fit for the chair ; And remember the very low prices you pay, For these, and for all that you've mentioned to-day.

More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man 1 s exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of 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 passlon, 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 of every engagement, snap tl:e 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. Tho wretched condition of such a being must stnixsequently ho beyond measure deplorable !

The intelligence from the two first men tioned colonies is of a more cheerful character than that which has been received for many months past. The quarrel over the Ci v il List appears a good deal, and planters have come to a better understanding with their labourers, so that the crop, for which the weather is stated to be highly favour. able, is being rapidly got in.

" The notice published on the 30th ult. gave in formation of the passage of the Orange River, by nearly all the troops, on the 2811 of that month ; whereupon Pretorius, the rebel chief, together with those under his command, in number exceeding 1,000 men, had fallen backwards towards Winburg, 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, ana, by incredible exern 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, wh om , on th e 29th, he found posted in a very strong position at Boem Plaats, on the Krom Elleboog River. There is here a succession of ridges of low hills, hacked by a higher range, through a pass in whi c h th e 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, ho wev er, qu i c kly carried by the Rifle Brigade, 45th and 91st regiments, the artillery (six-pounders) opening at the 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. [PRICE SD. in the rainy season, excited to discontent by this Preto rius (who is an inhabitant of the district of Na'al, 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 scat of -Government. You all well know that I did everything Mau 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 servo them, and have returned to their homes. Thirty; five families with tier- menus Lombard, besides seyeral smaller parties, have lately done so. To.those, who, have no farms I have given, and will continue to give, 3,000 morgen of land on the Klip and Tugela rivers ; and I appointed Preto rius to a land commission, as : . a member of which be 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 hed 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. "He requested mo 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- melt 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 any that he would have nothing to do with him—that ho 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 p ar t o f the country, except beyond Winberg. Erasmus, the field commandant, has left Pretorius; and Polgieter declares fcr quiet. I3ut Pretorius, who 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 beads of families, but persons for the most part ruined in circumstances— frightens from their homes all families throughout the land, and talks of war and blood being shed. If blood be shed, be it on his own ambitious rebel's head! He boasts of his moderation to Major Warden; if ho 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, Pretorions, 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 his present adherents are either, brought from beyond the sovereignty, or are forced by intimidation to join him; and I tell him that I know that four-fifths of tire people of property are in favour of the liberal Government I have established for the benefit of all—for Chist's Church and for peace. " He talks of bringing down black men and more fol lowers among the Boers. Does he think to impose upon me in this way.? "If the men beyond Winbcrg 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, yoa, 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 Majesl,oll.ll can make no treaty that is binding till ratifier by her Majesty's representative. Any treaties, therefore, that they may have been forced into by the rebels are null and void. by tieing of a ink au, Led by- - easks, and _lndian rubber , (csoutch pontoon, whir' will recollect, was __gilt by Sir F Eughind, and which has answered expeCtations. %out saLt,ruine The reserve battalion of the 21st Regiment was ex- , pected on the 25th, and on its arrival the Governor would go across in person. By means of the pontoon, the troops, horses of the Cape Mounted Rifles, equipage, and two days' provi sions, were in two days conveyed across the ricer, a dis tance of 240 yards, against a very rapid current. The passage of the army has had a great moral effect. The result has been that confidence has been inspired amongst the well disposed, and many of those forced to take part with Pretorius immediately evieced their dis affection to his cause, and their desire to come under the British rule. The feeling of hostility against Pretorius was be coming very general, and the native chiefs, Adam Kok, Moshesh, Waterboer, &c., continue staunch to the Gc vernor. his Excellency will at once push on to Winburg, and estardish forts there, and at Bloem Fontein. The Warning which he has caused to be published is bsinc , circulated extensively, and the happiest results may anticipated from the feeling displayed in it to-wards the ignorant and misguided Boers. • • (From the Cape Town Mail, Sept. 2.) ;A..goramunication from Colesberg, dated 24th August, saps:-/:.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 he seen on the other sid 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 Bloom 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. " Bythe bye, that said to be a proclamation of Andrea L, in the Graham's nwn Journal, is a hoax of soma evil-minded blackguard, in order to animate and excite the ignorant and easily led-away Boers of our frontier districts." MADA GASCAR. FAILURE OF ADMIRAL DACRES TO OPEN FRIENDLY RELATIONS WITH THE QUEEN. THE HEAD OF CAPTAIN.KELLY, HER MA JESTY'S SHIP CONWAY, DEMANDEo. (From the Supplement of the .ilifauritiusTimes, July 22. Her Majesty's steamer Geyser, 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 t h e same day fothis port, no official communication has, we believe, been received from Admiral Dacres, but we have 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 ! ,' --'`.--'. . . . . .. .

" 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:— " O❑ the 224 instant nearly all the troops required for military operations having then reached Celenberg, his Excellency commenced the passsige of that river, and had on the 23,1 conveyed the greater portion across to the right bank. " His 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, stud 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 the it engagements of alliance with her Majesty, notwith standing the attempts of the rebels to undermine their loyalty. _ " On 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 outposts 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 certain 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, Sec. 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 jects, 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 I 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. " if hat 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 case. Now, all possess their land in security. I have legalizfd all marriages. I have two ministers coming from Holland, and schoolmasters on the road. Your rebellious conduct has driven many from their homes, with their wives and their children; plunging them into misery in this inclement weather, and destroy ing their flocks and herds. Is this the good that you seek for your countrymen? " Beyond Winberg there ar e many violent men, wh o are opposed to rule and government in any shap e; b u t many whom I met in that neighbourhood, although they told me in public, when overawed by the turbulent, that they would rather remain as they were, in private sought me, and assured me that they were miserable, and prayed me to send them a magistrate. I was met at Winberg by a large body of loyal men, who presented an address to me—the - Chiefs Moshesh, Malitsanie, Sikonella, and others, were present. All agreed to what I pro posed, for the general benefit and welfare of Bloem Fon tein, Caledon, and Winberg, not for mine or the Govern ment of the colony. I then prosecuted my journey to Natal, where I met hundreds of families " trekking" in misery " As I advance, whatever armed party awaits me I shall regard as having fired the first shot, and the blood be on ►heir heads ; thus murder and rebellion become united. " So soon as I reach Winberg I will hear what Myn heer Potgeiter and all peaceable men and loyal subjects have to represent to mu for the general benefit. "H. G. SMITH, Governor. " Colesberg, Aug. 17." (From Sam Silis African Journal, Aug. 31.) Discretion is the chief part of valour, said Falstaff as well as Hudibras. The Dutch Boers 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 broached to the world. In the meantime a kind of mock manifesto or proclama tion—a travestie 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—same 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 Tinzes.) TUESDAY MORNING. Our accounts from Colesberg are to the 16th instant. Nothing of consequence had transpired. The Com mander-in-Chief was waiting the arrival of the expected reinforcements which, by the last advices that had reached Colesberg, were 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 intrenehments to oppose the landing of the troops. The Commander-in-Chief having 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 tho 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 stationed 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 24 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 partios of farmers out to warch the drift of the Orange river, for which services they readily assembled. The inhabitants of Albert aro said to be well affected to the Government. The editor of the Grensblad has received from Mr. Pretorius, 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 w ill b e 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, acknowledg 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 that all the Boers :on the other bank of the river had precipitately 11 d, 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 in full march upon Winburg. Pre vious to this flight of the Boers, Preterious 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 so:no further guns for Graham's Town has also been countermanded. LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM THE NORTII EAST FRONTIER. The Graham's Town Journal, of the 26th inst., brings no further news respecting his Excellency and Preto rius, but merely confirms the reports already, published in another column from the Frontier Times. " What i further steps will be taken n pursuing the Boers is only conjecture at present," says our latest au th or i ty . It is not even said who is to pay the money in the event of the impudent manifesto of Andreas being ac complished. (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 But ihe 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 for several days, the Admiral determined on coming to Mauritius in the meanwhile. 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. selastelle, 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 theinselves 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, Nimble, and Lady Emma, and the French vessel Courier, were waiting at Tamatavo 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 cora 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 BREVE LAss.—On Sunday se'nnight a family named Outlaw, hying at the Round 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 locked the door, and went to meet her patents. 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 daughterimme diately gave him chase, and in spite of his threats that he 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 magistrates at Bury, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment, the magistrates 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 tercel—Bury and Norwich Post. was nded, been nday Lured from rived with hick CaMO IMMil..g• iick- • Dr. if 11. wife 3, of end,
