This new Colony is about three days jour• ney nearer to Griqua-Town than the old city visited by Mr. Campbell in 1813, and about nine hundred miles north of Cape Town. The last Mis i sionary Report stated their removal to the Krooman River, and having commenced prepara tions for a new Settlement, it was very much their wish to build the new town on the site of the ori ginal Latakoo, the scenery of which is peculiarly beautiful, not being surpassed even by that of Makoon's Kraal. ‘Vhen the King, however, and Chiefs' arrived, there appeared insurmounta ble obstacles against that project. It seems, at the old city on the Krooman, many persons had formerly died of the small l iox, therefore, it was unclean; the people had also been driven away by the Caffr es, therefore it was unfortunate., For these re a sons, the force of which may not appear to many in this country, it was re solved,—that the new town should be erected about two miles and a half lower down the river; here several dwellings;had subsequently been built of camel-thorn. The foundation of a chapel had been laid, which was to be built of.camek thorn poles and reeds ; a store-house had been begun. The water of the Kroonaan, after great labour, bad been led out of the ad jacent lands, and several sacks of corn sown. On the whole there appeared a very favourable pro spect of a permanent settlement at New Latakoo. The King, Maurine, his two Chiefs, and the Queen con s tantly attend the Christian worship; and many of the liriotchnanas attend the meet ings foi religious conversation, whose observa tions discover marks of sound understanding and no inconsiderable knowledge of religion. One of them, an old man, named Classe, lately died at this station, of whose genuine piety and happy death no doubt appeared to be enter tained. Of these Chiefs, one is accustomed to call his people together, and to pray with them every morning. Mrs. Hamilton, the wife of an English resident, has taught the children to sew and knit.

EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON.-The following account of a most extraordinary phenomenon of nature may be depended on for its authenticity:--- This singular man is probably still alive ; he was living,.to the writer's knowledge, 6 year ago. In the vil:age of Ditcheat, 4 miles from Shepeon Somersetshire, in the year 1765, a woman, of the name of Kingston, was delivered of a stout boy, without assns or shoulders. He possesses, without the usual appendages of arms, all the strength, power, and dexterity of the ablest and most re gular made men, and exercises every function of life. He feeds, dresses and undresses himself, combs his own hair,, shaves Isis beard with the razor in his toes, cleans his shoes, lights bis fire, writes out his own bills and ac counts, and does almost every other domes tic business. Being a . farmer by occupation, he performs the usual business of the field, todders his cattle, makes his ricks, cuts his hay, catches his horse, and saddles and bridles him with his feet and toes. He can lift ten peeks of beans with his teeth ; with his feet he throws a large sledge hammer farther than any other man can with his arms, and he has fought a stout battle, and come off victorious. These facts are notorious in most parts of Somersetshire.—(Morning Paper.) The House of Commons is undergoing some repairs, which, it is said, will prove beneficial, by affording a greater vent for the mephitic air. There is a scaffold at present erected around the table, which has been placed there for the pur pose of regulating the circular aperture which was visible in the centre of the cieliug. The place where Guy Fawkes was to have taken his station under the small tower is the southern extremity of the Old House of Lords is still in nearly the same state as at that period—the door way and passage are the same ; the interior where the incendiary was to retire to is now a water closet. We understand that Mr. HARRISON had the mo desty to attend the Meeting at Stockport, conven ed by the inhabitants, to declare their abhorrence of the designs of seditious and traitorous indivi duals ; but being under a recognisance to answer an indictment for sedition, was deemed by the fleeting not to be " one of the layal and patrio tic ioliabitmits of Stockport," within the terms of the Requisition convening the Meeting, and was turned out of the room with universal hisses.— (Macclesfield Courier.) Several investigations have taken place at Chelmsford, relating to two murders committed some time since ; one near Ilorusey, on a Mr. Taylor, a surgeon ; the other in Hertfordshire, on a carter of the name of Cooper. Tbe result has been, that two men, of the names of Bell and Crouch, have been committed by JOHN DISNMY and W. B. TUFNMLL, Esqrs., Magistrates of Es sex, to take their trial for the offence. BIRTH.

MEETING of REFORMERS in SMITHFIELD FULL PARTICULARS. On Saturday last it was announced by band bills, circulated in the name of the Middlesex and Surrey Committees, that a Public Meeting was to be held this day in Smithfi e ld, f or t h e pur p os e o f expressing the Opinion of the British Empire on the recent proceedings at Manchester. Yesterday, however, it was rumoured, that the projected Meeting was to be postponed sine die, in conse (peace of the venet able Patriarch of Reformers, Major Cartwright, having signified his disappros bat ion of it. This report was at first believed' by the greater part of .the public, bat as no official notice :of adjournment was issued by the Authori ties that originally summoned the Meeting, it be came a s matter of drat whether it was to take phce or not, nor was that doubt removed till 2 o'clock yesterday. In the meantime the necessary reedit tionsavere taken bp he Civil Authorities tor the pre servo t ion of 11;e public peace. The Lord Mayor, assisted by some of the Aldermen, the Chief Clerk, Mr. nobler, the City Marshals, &c, was eagaged during the whole ofahe morning in mak ing the propel arrangements. The police were disposed in the sante order as on the occasion of the last Meeting in Smithfield. Each of the Mar. sbalmen was placed at the bead of 150 men, and had a station assigned to him in au ion-yard, in Smithfield. Five hundred additional special con stables, a great proportion of whom consist ed of firemen, had been sworn in for the oc casion ;• and it was said, that the Directors of the Fire Companies had stripped the coats 'and badges from such of their men as had refused to attend at the last Smithfield Meet ing. The East India Company had also supplied 500 additional men. The principal rendezvous of the civil power was the church of St. Bartholo mew the Great, where they began to muster be fore twelve o'clock. A considerable military force likewise was in readiness, in case any emergency had called for their `interference; By a Royal Order, the Hon. Artillery Company attended at the Armoury-house', Banhill-row, at three o'clock, in service order. The Guards too, that had been ordered for Bri g ht on yesterday, 'were counter manded, and are to remain in the metropolis till to-morrow or Satatalay. A party of Foot Guards were yesterday in the East lodic Company's store in Bishopsgate-street, where arms and military accoutrements are deposited, previous to their being shipped to India. The Sitting Magistrates at the different Police offices had received letters of instruction fricnthe Secretary' of State's Office. The Police Officers,' as well as Special Constables, were ordered to be on the alert ; the Magistrates were to remain sitting at each office during the whole of the day, and until twelve o'clock at night ; and during the • night, parties of constables were to sit op iu the several offices, in case of any disturbance. It was whkpared amon g the groups that assem bled in various p a rt s o f Smithfield, in "the early part of the day, that the Lord Mayor had resolv ed to , prevent the meeting by pre-occupying the ground with civil and military forces ; and the comments made on this rumour were not the most flattering to his Lordship. As early as 12 o'clock several hundred persons were assembled io the market, the greater part of whom, we be. lieve, had no other object than to leant whether or not the meeting was to take place. Oa this material point nothing satisfactory could be as certained till 2 o'clock, when a person paraded the market, exhibiting a placard with the follow ing inscription :—" The Meeting will take place at four - O'clock ; preserve order." Atter this the crowd began to increase 'considerably, but no thing of interest occurred till the arrival of the Chairman, and his respectable compatriots. The greatest order, indeed, an almost alarming silence; prevailed till tour o'clock, when, without any previous " note of preparation," an astounding yell was simultaneously sent forth by the assem bled multitude. The procession was in sight.— From the end of St. John's -street, a cart or wag gon was drawn into the market, preceded by those patriotic insignia that erewhile graced the processions of Orator Hunt. The banners were the same as those exhibited at the last meeting ; Olty were four in number, the first bearing the inscription of "England, Scotland, and Ireland." The 2d, " Universal Suffrage;"- the 3d, " Liberty or Death ;" and the 4th, '' Peace and goodwill." The cart was followed by a hackney-coach, which contained Dr Watson, Mr. Thistiewood, and Mr. Preston. The procession in this order made the circuit of the market, and stopped on the south side, on the" same hallowed spot from which Mr. Hunt addressed the last meeting. As soon as the cavalcade halted, the crowd pressed round the cart on all sides, and it was with considerable difficul ty that the valuable load of the hackney-coach was transferred to the hustings. The number of persons assembled at this moment we are convinc ed did not exceed 5,000, and that number gra dually decreased; as the business of the day ad vanced. The Requisition (the hand-bill) calling the meeting together having, been read by a Mr. Even, who said he had been appointed acting Se cretary to the Committee, in consequence of the arrest of Mr. Blam!ford, Mr. Phillips pr posed that Dr, Watson should take the chair in the ab sence of that Champion of Reformers, Mr. Hunt. (Immense applause, and cries of " Hunt for ever !") Dr. WATSON commenced his oration by stating that this meeting, and the Reformers in all parts of the country, were determined to keep order, but that, unfortunately, those in power had not followed their example. These persons had been guilty of a breach of the peace ; they had slaugh tered several of their fellow -countrymen, arid, hor rible to relate, even some of the female sex. He exhorted them to keep order, and to preserve the peace, and assured them that that was the only way in which they could preserve the rights of men. If they had patience, and conducted themselves with prudence, there was no doubt that reason kv ould produce at length all that the people could expect. They were now met to weep in tears of blood ; but when the season of mourning was over, they would again deliberate and determine how they were to preserve their liberties.—(Applause.)— Sir Charles Wolseley, he said, had been invited to take the chair, and he now hell in his hand the answer to that invitation, addressed to Al - r. Bland ford, now confined in yon Itri!on—(pointio~ in Giltspur Compter)—for printing a placard callin' together the Surrey meeting. This letter he shot.ld request the Secretary to read. It was as follows Sta—l have been favoured with your letter of the 20th inst. written on behalf of the two Committees of Surrey and Middlesex. In reply, I beg to assure yon, that although I shall always feel great pleasure i❑ contributing my s,ersices towards the promotion of public gu h el, iii every possible way, yet under existing circumstances, it becomes indisiensibly necessary for every individual invited to attend, vat any private ur public meeting, to be previously informerh of the precise and definite objects to which the attention of the assembly is to be directed, as also the meastires . prOjiosed to be adopted. " A particular• engagement in which, however, I am now, and shall be for, sonic time engaged, in furtherance of the great cause of political liberty, precludes the possibi lity of acceding-to your wish, and thereby renders tiny in quiry as to the particular objects of the meeting entirely un necessary. " As, however, it is, I presume, for a good political object, you can find DO difficulty in tneeting with some, Gentleman, in London, whose local connexions will add weight and flu portance to the Meeting. And I stun, Sir, your obedient Servant, &.c. di frolseleg Park, 2 2." coVoL ., ELEY." Addressed to E.J. Bla'ntiford, Hackney, London. The Doctor resunied.—So alive were the people of England to their rights and liberties, that when called on they never refused to du their duty.. They bad, on a variety of occasions, been addres. sed by persons . in the higher (lasses of society. Where were these pet sons in this momentous cri• . . sis Society in this, country consisted of three ranks,--royalty; the aristocracy. and the demo cracy. "I am," (pot h . this humble son of Hip pocrates, " I am one i t t.:t be lower orders—one of yourselves ; and nothiitg shall induce me to relin quish that order."—(Cries of bravo.)—lt appear' d that the higher ranks bad forsaken them, and were taking care of their own interests ; it be- !toyed them, therefore, (the Reformers) to take care of heirs.---(We wid).—lt had been said ill the public papers,..that no Meeting was to take place here to-day ; but they had long known the insidious arts of some of the public journals. One of their friends, indeed, (Wooler) had assisted in putting forth the same idea ; but he was eouvincetj that when any one tried to deceive them, their own good sense would enable them to judge aright, The following extract from Wooler's Black Dwarf of yesterday was then read " public HleCting anuuunct d on Kennington-common for Monday last has been properly postponed, is Mr. Hunt could not attend to preside. This was due tei Mr. Hunt, the only man, perhaps, who could preside with effect at such a meeting. But we regret to state, that another meeting has been convened for this day in Smithfield, at which Dr. Watson is to preside, in the absence of Sir C. Wolseley, who is said in have been invited, but who, if be were, would not preside on the occasion. It is due to Mr. Hunt, that this meeting sheculd be deferred, until he is enabled to preside, tbit he mav sleusv his bend-like enemies at Manchestel• that the Cons tamed authorities of London are not prepared to violate the its a similar way. This triumph is justly due to the situation in which Mr. Hunt has been placed ; and Dr. Watson, in justice, ought to reserve fur him, in answer to the insults offered to him, the pride and satisfaction of meeting the assembled foul titudes vf the Metropolis; while the formally cv-ustituted bo dies, at present, do their duty in Condemning the wanton atrocities committed at Manchester, and endeavouring to obtain for them legal redress. WeStroitister will take the lead. Sir F. Burdett has appealed to them in language which must produce an electric effect upon every unritiated heart. Major Cartwright fully agrees with us in the necessity of post• polling this meeting until Mr. Hunt cap - attend, to take the chair. The following note was written by the Majue, in an swer th a request for his opinion on the subject : " Dr.na Slit —lf it he true that any steps have been taben towards the holding of another Meeting in •nutiffield on Wednesday next, as from your note of this afternoon you seem to understand is intended, I can have no hesitation in saying, that under the circumstances "which now exist, it were very desirable that such Meetings should . mit at present be holden; and I ant strengthened in this opinion from the cutr sideration, that, as matters now stand, the enemies of Par liamentary Reform have given the friends of that ni6istlie so great an advantage over them, that it would he ext tecticly i un wise to call the Meeting you tinderitand to be in eantempla, tiun, lest mischievous persons stniuld edntrive to prOduce a tumult, or any confusion which could sposiibly be la-id at the door of the Friends of Reform. Your's &c. "87, Burton-crescent, Atlg. "JOHN CARTWRIGHT." He had to inform them, that at the List Meeting at the Crown and Anchor, the placard calling to gether this meeting was read by him in as audi ble a voice as that in which he was now speak ing. The remarks of Major Cartwright, there fore, were somewhat extraordinary ; but he was old, and his memory no doubt had become treacherous. The case was ditreient, however, with respect to Mr, Wooler ; he was in the prime of life, his faculties and senses were all acute, and he heard every word that was spoken at the Meet ing on Saturday. This, he was sorry to say, was not the first time that 'Mr. Wooler had attempted to discountenance public meetings. He should be as tender to Mr. Wooler as possible, but still the truth' must be told, and the present was no time for flattery.—(Applause.)—He was happy to see that the cause was supported by such im mense numbers, and therefore he should say no more of Mr. Wooler. After uttering a great deal of 'jargon, too contemptible to be repeated, be concluded -by informing the Meeting, that; se veral Resolutions had been prepared, in order to be laid before them, as well' as an Appeal to, the Prince Regent.' '- The Resolutions were then read by a N.P..Pntt....- LIPS, and afterwards agreed to with uzianinsoue uproar : . . . At this awful crisis of public affairs, the people'composinr thi4 Meeting, consider themselves called upon ;,;•eaceably, tys free-born Britons, to declare their rights, and to• appeal• tu, the Prince and to the People of the British Empire, to unite their efforts by every constitutional means, to stop the pro. press of misery, to redress the grievances complained, of, to. reform a defective Representation of the people, to stay th,e blood-stained hands of fiction, and to save the Countrir from Massacre_and Murder—we therefore resolve— I, That the peat Porough Proprietors hare• :41/3sumeck a power dangerous and degrading to the glory and secoritrcaf the Crown, and to the liberties and happiness nit tine peopWA. 2.
