CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have received accounts from the Cape of Good Hope to the sth August. They bring the gratifying intelligence that the Caffre war had been completely terminated by tlie capture or de feat of the hostile Chiefs, and that perfect tran quillity was restored on the whole frontier line. The following are extracts from the Cape Town Gazette of an older date : " CAPE TOWN, JULY 3.—The accounts from GrAham's Town 'reach to the 20th of last month, to which time the CAffres continued quiet.

[From the Nero Times.] The great body of respectable inhabitants of this parish have within these tew lays been sign ing a Loyal Address to ihe Prince Regent, ex pressive of their determination to support the Constitution and Religion of the Country against the seditious and blasphemous attempts of ill-de signing Inca.. The mischievous spirit which appears to he every whLre abroad, could not lose this oppor tunity to•shew itself, but must issue placards and hand-hills in all directions, to assemble its devo tees for a repetition of the usual unwarrantable libels on the constituted authorities of the realm. A Meeting was summoned under the plea of taking into consideration the recent occurrences at Manchester, and the Chair was to be (alien at 12 o'clock, by " a Gentleman of Respectability." (Jt course, anxious curiosity reigned throughout the parish to learn the name of the respectable Chairman, and the intentions of the aceplialoos group. - As the clock struck 12, two dust carts were ushered Oil to the Green by Mr. John Lee, night man, and were made the foundation of the stage, which was to be dignified by the Orators of the day. Considerable delay occurred before the arrival of the chosen few, occasioned, it is reported, by the absence of the Treasurer, who-had unexpect edly left his post. At two o'clock, however, the carts were occu pied by the Committee, viz, a Tallow-chandler, a Tailor, two Ushers out of place, All Itinerant Preacher, the Owner of a book-stall, and one or two others. The important business of the day .was briefly opened by the respectable tallow-chandler, as Chairman ; the purport of the Meeting wos more fully elucidated by the Tailor, and the Resolutions were read by one of the Ushers, who is the near relation of a green-grocer in the parish. The business of the Meeting would have been ve t y soon concluded, but tor the verbose diarrhoea of the Itinerant Preacher (Mr.ffoole or Toole, or some such name), who exerted his stentorian longs to the best of his abilities in the cause. He had the nualificAtion however to.observe, that with all ais efforts he could ❑ot attract the attention of two parties on the Green, one of which %vas playing at bowls, and the other at cricket during the wboie oration ; and the speaker, unfortunately, excited a general disgust among the old folks, both men an d women-, in the conclusion of his harangue, by advising th,:m to abstain from pot ter, tea, tobacco and snuff, because they Would thereby dimmisn the revenue, and bring the Mi nisters to their senses. This account may appear ridiculous, but it is in no wise exaggerated. There were scarcely a score of Reformers assembled; anti of course, the precautionary measures of the resident Magistrates, and the valuable aid of the regular police,were ren dered altogether unnecessary. in short, after an hour's amusement, the pat ty returned to the house of the talkw, -cLan :ler, and thus ended the busi ness of this momentous day.

At one o'clock yesterday, a Common Hall was Geld to declare the nun►hers at the close of the poll, for a person to fill the office of LORD MAYOR for the enstliog year. At that hour the Sheriffs and City Officers appeared on the Hustings, and after the Hall was opened in the usual form by the Common Crier, tie Ci►nunon Serjeant came forward and declared the numbers of the poll, anti that the election had fallen upon GEORGE BRIDGES a n ti J. T. TnORP, to he returned to the Court of Aldermen, who should select one to be declared LORD MAYOR' for the.ensuing year. The Silt:tiffs and Common Serjeant then retired front the hustings to the Court of Aldermen, from which, in about half an hour, they returned, pre ceded by the Lord Mayor, the Lord Mayor Elect, and Alderman Waithman, Thorp, Magnay, and J. J. Smi►h, C. Smith, and Co'. They were re ceived with applause. _ _ _ The Common Crier again proclaimed silence, and The RECORDFII c3me forward and announced, in the usual form (after stating the names► and numbers of the respective Candidates), that the choice of the Court of Aldermen had fallen on George Bridges, Esq. Alderman, who was there fore Lord Mayor for the ensuing year.—(Ap pluuse.) The te - orthy Alderman then obeyed the sun..nons of the Common Crier, and came forward to the front of the hustings, where the ceremony of in vesting him with the chain took place, amidst the applause of his friends. After the investiture took place he addressed the Livery, and returned his warmest thanks tit them for the honour they had eonlerted upon him in so flattering and dis tinguished a manner. To his friends, particu larly his Chairman (Sir C. Price), he knew not how to acknowledge or repay the zeal they bad manifested in his cause. To his opponents he had also to return his thanks, for the courteous ex pressions of versonal civility he had experienced fron► them ; and he begged to assure them, that no pains should be spared by bins in the discharge of his duty, to promote among all good-will, harmony, and good-humour. In the performance of his duty he should take the best measures in his power to suppress vice and imtnorality of whatever kind, and to promote, as far as lay in his power, the well-being of his fellow-citi zens, the honour of his King, and the general good of his country.—(Loud Applause.)—He re peated his thanks for the honour they bad done him. Mr. Alderman Tnoit then returned thanks for the lidnour which the Livery hash done him in re turning him to the Cnurt of Aldermen as one of the persons fit to serve the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. The H a ll has t h en dissolved by tlie Common Crier in the naval terms, and the people retired in :the most quiet and orderly manner. • On the POEM entitled " CONVERSATION,"* WRITTEN BY WILLIAM COOKE, E. Of the .3fidth'e Tcmple, Barri.rter-at-f NW, 4.c. tic. Well has the Bard, in pleasing strains, defiti'd The charms that men in SOCIAL UNION bind, That call the Talents and the Virtues forth, Endearing Wisdom, and adorning Worth ; Where wit, politeness, and instruction blend, And Learning may with dignity descend: Where All their various merits can display, And None without improvement pass away. Such is the Social Circle here design'd, To mould the manners and to mend the mind : Such are the solid Precepts of the Book ; But for the fair Example study Coops. \Ve noticed this excellent Didactic Poem in our Literary Review. To the credit of public taste, even in these times, it has passed through several Editions; and the Author's poetical Portraits in the last of the principal characters of Dr. JOHNSON'S Club, of which he was a Member, are drawn with force, spirit, and accuracy. TO A FRIEND ABOUT TO MARRY A SECOND TIME. Non profectura p ecando.—Ovin. Oh, keep the ring, one little year, Keep poor ELIZA'S ring, And shed on it the silent tear, In secret sorrowing. Thy lips, on which her last, last kiss Yet lingers moist and warm, Oh, wipe them not for newer bliss, Oh, keep it as a charm. These haunts are sacred to her love, Here still her presence dwells ; Of her the grot, of her the grove, Of her the garden tells. Beneath these elms you sate and talk i d, Beside that river's brink, At evening arm-i❑-arnm you walled, Here stopt to gaze and think. Thoult meet her when thy blood beats high In converse with thy bride, Meet the mild meaning of an eye That never learnt to chide. Oh, nn, by Heaven, another here Thou canst not, must not bring; No, keep it—but one little year, Keep poor ELIZA'S ring. • REGISTER OF FASIIION. FASHIONABLE. CHANGES.

The Proprietor and Managers having been frequently requested by several dis tinguished characters, as also numerous country families, and persons who daily arrive in this great metropolis, who have not an opportunity of visit ing this Theatre during the Summer months, has induced them to try the experiment of a limited Winter Season, lit eonselquence of which, many alterations will be made, so as to render this ex tensive Summer Theatre %•arm and comfortable for a Winter Campaign. Tl►e intended alterations will be completed with all possible speed, and due notice will be given of the re-opening, the Ma nagers pledging themselves that neither pains nor expence shall be wanted to merit a continuance of that generous support _which they cannot com mand, but will by every exertion endeavour to deserve."
