STAMPED SD• civilisation, .nor ignorance over enlightenment, that we, with•our world-wide commerce and our boundless resources, should doubt of the result of the contest, if the contest be again renewed. We have nothing to fear from open force ; all our ap prehensions are from delay and trickery. It should be our.business, now that the basis of negotiation is agreed upon, to formulate the terms of the treaty we are prepared to sign in language the most pre cise, brief, and unambiguous possible. Let Russia accept such a treaty at once, if she be so minded, and we shall be content ; if not, let her reject it, and we shall also be content, fur we have every reason to believe we can conquer a better. Above all let no entreaties or cajoleries induce us to give up for a single instant the blockade of her coasts, ' so far as it is not superseded by the ice, by which we isolate one part of the empire from the other, and the whole empire from intercourse with neigh bouring countries. If there must be an armistice, though we seo no necessity for any respite, let at .least our blockade be excepted from its operation, and let au early day be peremptorily fixed on which warlike operations shall again begin unless a definitive treaty of peace shall before that time have been signed and ratided. If it be understood that we enter on the conference in this spirit, with a thorough resolution either to bring it to a pacific termination or to break it oil, we shall have no reason to fear that Europe will be kept long in suspense as to the destinies of thecotuing year. (Front Me Morning ile.raltl.) A morning contemporary, who was the first to congratulate this country on the Russian accept ance of the Austrian propositions, now discovers that, " However ungracious it may be to cavil at so gratifying an announcement," it would bave . ! been much more satisfactory had those terms been more precise and comprehensive, or, in other words, instead of fox ming the basis of a treaty, if they had constituted the "substantive treaty itself." We perfectly agree with our contemporary in this re spect—the rather that from the first we have taken this view of the proposals, and from the fint have denounced them as incomplete, unsatisfactory, and treacherous. In certain respects they involve unex pected concessions ou the part of Russia; in others, the interests of Europe in general, and of this country in particular, are lett completely out of consideration. We cannot help thinking, as we before observed, that in the prompt—we might almost s ty the eager—acceptance by Russia of these proposals, pur et simple, there is something at least suspicious ; for translated severely, and with out the reservation which the fifth article admits of, they provide, if not for the surrender of the Russian supremacy in the Black Sea, at all events for such a modification of it as will effectually damage her prestige. There is somethiug more here than meets the eye. Let it not be forgotten that these proposals, accepted as they are, constitute, as it has been happily phrased, "a Russian declaration from an Austrian lip." Oar mediator has secured, or hopes to secure, a position on the Danube, which has long been the dream of Austrian statesmen, and which will enable her to control the commerce east ward of all Germany. Lot it nut be forgotten also that the campaign wouid shortly have opened, that this country was about to put forth her strength, and that a pause now in our operations—the breath ing time of an armistice—would be of incalculable ' value to our enemy. Let it not escape the public mind of England, that, fur all that may be said to the contrary, we are about to be dragged into ne gotiations at the instance of a power whose COUIS3 hitherto has been marked by her insidious and too successful efforts to aid our enemy, and who sees her own interests very dearly in terminating hos tilities now, whatever may be the general result of such a step, and who is equally clear as to the ad vantage of their suspension at the present moment to Russia. We ask, what is the necessity for negotiations to be carried on till April next, we care not whether in Brussels, Frankfort, or Aix-la-Chapelle ? If the question of peace or war is really to be decided, why could not one week suffice for the arrangement, of the terms on which to withdraw our forces ? A categorical demand can be readily put, and Russia's sincerity will be tested by her readiness to meet it. Where is the necessity for ambiguity and diploma tic humbug, of which the world has had enough during the past year to disgust it for ever with the very name of "negotiation ?" We know -what we • A is virtue in ships and soldiers. France has male up her mind upon the same category. As we have fought together, we are united in opinion upon the only terms on which a solution of the Eastern question depends. This we venture to assert, not withstanding th© very strange language of certain members of the French press. We say, if Russia is sincere, and Austria is loyal, there is no cause for delay. The wind of this country is prepared for either alternative, and its resources are equal to the worst. It will endure anything but fruit less, protracted, fraudulent negotiations. r LONDON, WEDNESDAY EIENING, JANUARY 2 3 1856.

On Thursday morning a most daring robbery was committed on the premises of Mr. 11. Burbidge, corn factor, Bradford-street, Birmingham. Upon the shop being opened, it was]discovered that the iron safe in which Mr. Burbidge kept his hooks, title deeds, and each, had been carried off. The safe weighed nearly 4001 b., and was fastened to the wall by the strong brackets on which it rested. Though nothing else had been disturbed, the booty thus obtained was considerable., there being in the drawers of the safe no less than 1401., of which about 551. was in gold, 351. in silver, and the remainder in notes. To Mr. Burbidge, however, the cash was the least valuable portion of its contents. An entrance had been effected by a window immediately over the shop door. Thence access to the shop was easy, and possibly confederates were admitted by the front door, in order that operations requiring at once strength and dexterity might the more easily be conducted. The inquiries made, with a view of ascertaining how the safe was carried off led Mr. Burbidge and the police to conclude that it had been taken off the premises shortly after six o'clock, at which hour the constables on night duty are relieved, It so happened that the officer on the beat had that night received special instructions from Mr. Burbidge to keep a sharp look out upon the premises, as the carcases of a couple of pigs had been temporarily left in the coach-house. The thieves or their confede rates had perhaps noticed that this was being done, and were consequently prevented leaving the shop during the night ; but it seems more likely that they had fixed on this period of the morning as the most suitable for their purpose. Detective-sergeant Manton, who was employed in the case, ascertained at the outset of his inquiries that a hand cart bad been seen near the shop about ha'f-past G. and that this had been taken in the direction of Trinity church. Betwixt 9 and 10 o'clock a boat passing through a lock of the canal situated at the hack of this church, experienced seine obstruction in its progress, not being abl e , we presume , t o s i n k l ow enough. Au examination led to the discovery that an iron chest was lying in the lock. Mr. Burbidge having heard of this at once went to the spot, and, with the as sistance of Manton, endeavoured t o recover it . Fi n di ng , however, that on raising the, safe the books were drop ping out, he went to the canal office for the aid of the officials. Mr. Lloyd. one of the managers, kindly re turned with T h e them.safe was Theas recovered e w r a e s d, e completely e w te i emptied the b of and important document s , th oug h o f course th e c w :s °t h ker9 h . ad disappeared. Sledge hammers must have been used to force the chest open. It was so bent and torn that its maker would have been unable to identify it. There is no doubt that. the op era ti on of forcing it open s'a piece of wa s t e groun d near T r inity church, performed rcli e ati das°tn a the noise of doing so must have been considerable, it may seem surprising that detection did not follow. This, however, shows that the boldness and daring of the thieves was of a ca'culating character. They thought that at such an hour no one would be likely to suspect the nature of their occupation, espe cially as one of the stone-br ea ki ng yar d s b e l ong i ng to the corporation immediately adjoins the spot. We be lieve that the police have obtained some clue to the thieves.—Birmingham Journal. TEIE MONSTER GUN A WORKT HE MERSEY IRON.

' will be ready for service.--Liverpool Standard, Spirit of the Public Journals. (From the Morning Aciveetiser of this day.) We beseech the country, with all the earnestness which we can impart to our words, to rally round Lord Palmerston at the present moment. His Premiership is in peril.. Bat that is not the ground on which we Make our appeal to the people of England: Fur mere Premierships we care nothing. Prime Ministers, like Princes-- May flourish and may fade ; A breath may make them, ai a breath bath male. But in the present instance the honour and inte rests of the country are involved in the fate of Lord Palmerston. No journal has more freely or more frequently arraigned the policy of the Noble Lord than the Morning Advertiser ; but th,lt was avowedly with the view of urging him on to greater vigour in the conduct of the war—never with the view of ejecting him from the Premiership. With tho facts which have been brought to our know ledge within the last few days, we cease, at least for the moment, all opposition to Lord Palmer ston, and call on the nation at large, as it values the dignity, the honour - , and the interests of Eng land, to rally round him as one man. _ There is deep-laid conspiracy to eject him from office, similar to that to which he fella victim in 1851. It is not only a hostile'Court, and traitors in his Cabinet, that ho has to contend against, but Conti nental Powers, aye, and parties, too, high iu poli tical position, who are preituned to be in alliance with us against Russia, are at this very hour : in triguing against, and lahouring" to accomplish the downfall Of the Noble Lord. What we have often prepared our readers to expect, has at last occurred. Those on whom we relied in the war against Rus sia have failed us, and unless the people of England avow, without delay, their readiness to stand or fall by Lord Palmerston, not only will the Noble Lord be sacrificed, but England and Europe will, ere long, have to lie prostrate at the feet of the Czar. Lord Palmerston, supported by Lord Clarendon, is—we say it advisedly—the only man in the coun try to whom the people can look with any confi dence in this crisis. If an insecure and igdomini ous peace be not concluded, England and Europe will owe their escape to the patriotism, the energy, the intelligence, and consummate diplomatic skill of the Noble Lord at the head of the Government. Let his Lordship—for his encouragement to per severe in the course he has chalked out for himself, of determined resistance to the designs of Russia— be assured of this, that he has the people, to a man, with him, and that, whenever he feels that the proper moment for a dissolution of Parliament has arrived, the country will attest its confidence in him, by returning, amidst the loud plaudits both of the electoral and non-electoral bodies, such a majority of Members in his favour as will put an extinguisher on all those who,are at this moment leagued together for his overthrow, as the only sure way of promoting the purposes- and plans of the Czar. (From the Times of this day.) The period at which our negotiations for peace are just arriving is probably the most critical that they will have to go through. Nothing has as yet beau received from St. Petersburg, except by tele graph, but to-morrow written communications are expected, and then will immediately arise the ques tion of signing a prelitnivary treaty of peace, and with it the demand, which will doubtless be most earnestly pressed on the Western Powers, that they should ( cater into an armistice for the period during which that treaty of peace is to be discussed. Hitherto the game has been all on our side. Whe ther it be, as the Nord surmise; that Russia has been actuated by the magnanimous desire of sacri ficing purely Russian to European interests, and also has at length awoke to the tardy conviction that not only the Western barbarians, but people who ought to know better, believe that the Czar has designs upon Turkey and aspirations after the banks of the Bosphorus, certain it is that Russia has abated her pretensions with a rapidity after which her breathless admirers struggle in vain, and has sud denly transferred the contest front the field to the cabinet. Here, however, she will encounter us on terms far more advantageous than she could pos sibly hope for in any other sphere of action. The good Will of the Princes of Gerntany was_ not very Jacobi, :earry te. 4t. field fur the sake of either party. They know the blessings of ease, and are resolved to enjoy them to the utmost. While, therefore, the war con tinued, Russia, with numerous well-wishers was pretty sure to be left alone in the field, to defend herself as best she might against Powers by whom she was already overmatched. But, though her friends dare not or cannot fight for her, they have no objection to do for her any other service she may exact from them. So long as there is no danger, no broken head to apprehend, no Power is richer in friends or more earnestly supported than Russia. She bears, indeed, a charmed life, and every petty Prince of Europe regards her with the same conviction with which Louis XI., in Scott's admirable novel, looked upon the astrologer Marcio Galeoti—the conviction that he cannot hope to sur vive her decease for a single day. Now, therefore, that the time of negotiation has arrived, we do not doubt but that the Allies will be overwhelmed with professions of perfidious sympathy and affected approbation, and will discover that innumerable potentates, whom but a few months ago they re garded, and with justice, as among the most luke warm of their friends, or perhaps not the least bitter of their enemies, were always their well-wishers, always maintained the justice of their cause, always believed in the certainty of its success, and only hope that they will now exercise as much prudence and moderation in the conference as they have shown fortitude and gallantry in the day of battle. Russia, we shall be reminded by a hundred titled sycophants, is still a great and formidable power, tenderly susceptible of her honour, morbidly sen sitive of the opinion oven of her enemies, and sa crificing herself, as that veracious and patriotic journal, the Nord, of Brussels, assures us, rather to European interests and to European opinions, than to any inability to carry out the struggle in which she finds herself engaged. Then it will be hinted that the feelings of the Emperor would be grievously hurt by our insisting on one condition, and the spirit of the Archduke Constantine by our pressing indiscreetly for another, and we shall be told, as Mr. Gladstone and his friends have over and over again told us, that the best guarantee for peace is not in extorting harsh and grinding conditions, but in conciliating those by our generosity whom we have previously taught to respect us by our valour. Joined to this class of mediators we must expect to have to encounter others of a different stamp — men who view peace and war as stockjobbing spe culations, who would open the temple of Janus that they might buy into the funds low, and close it again that they might sell out higher. To such men human life is so much air, honour is so much dross, wide and prospective plans of policy the visions of dreamers or of maniacs, who sacrifice the present to the future, and expect like Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia, to-morrow to redeem the pro mises of to-day. Patriotism is to them a word to conjure with, not to express any real or genuine feeling, and they would welcome for their country another 'Waterloo, if such a disaster would have, like its predecessor, the effect of raising the price of Government securities.. Surely Russia, with such auxiliaries, does not descend into the diplomatic arena without some hope of reconquering with her arts those advan tages which she has lost by her arms. On the steadfastnessof purpose, the manly self-confidence, and the unwavering resolution of the allies it must • depend to thwart all these manceuvres and to hold fast their dearly bought and highly prized supe riority. It must be clearly understood that these negotiations are not to be like ordinary Conferences where each party is straining his ingenuity to see which can most completely deceive the other — which can hide his internal misgivings under the bolder front—which can conceal his real inability to continue the contest under the loudest declara tions and the most dauntless bearing. The allies have no occasion to have recourse to such paltry and miserable arts ; they have won their position for themselves, and they know its value, f o r they have dearly paid for it. They cannot certainly tell what is the true condition of Russia, what money still remains in her treasuries, what troops in her fortresses, what spirit in her people, what enthusiasm in her Church—how many of these paper armies, which are ready at every point to confront an imaginary invader in all the might and majesty of the very boldest type, would be found present i n the body when the day of action arrives. These things they cannot know, though they may Par tl y guess ; but, for themselves, they are sure that they possess fleets and armies adequate to any enterprise they may devise, and resources that can support them in full efficiency so long as anything remains to `he done. Power has not, as Mt. Cobden would have us believe, so wholly deserted wealth, victory has not made so,fast a league with poverty, bar ' barism has not asserted so decided a triumph over PROGRAWME.

The Friend of the Free State publishes the fol lowing report of a conference between the Presi dent, J. N. Boshoff, Esq., and the Basuta Chief, Moshesh, his Excellency Sir George Grey being present. It took place ou the sth of Oct. last : «The President.—l am very glad to see Moshesh here in the presence of his Excellency Sir G. Grey, on the first official opportunity we have had of meeting in the Free State. I think it well that we shOuld often meet, as personal visits are always much more satisfactory than correspondence by letter. As we meet now per sonally we had better speak of business. I have often heard that Moshesh is a man of peace and is desirous of hoiding peace with the whites. I amalso a man of peace, and now in the presence of his chief men I wish to show him on what terms we may make peace and friendship continue. As the hest mode to do so my view is that, as I am cnosen on one side and Moshesh on the other, t) see that peace is not interrupted, we should, in case any disturbances occur, let each other know our minds freely. I shall therefore tell him at once that I have, on my arrival, been very sorry to hear of many thefts having been committed within our boun dary by wicked people from the other side. I would be glad to convince him that such things must be put a stop to, or the consequences will be that they will put the country in a blaze, and do great harm to all. These are all the complaints I know of as yet. Mr. Ford has already represented the case to him, and he has promised to punish the thieves, and put a stop to the stealing. I have no doubt that he will prove himself a man of his word, and make his chiefs help him to carry out his pro ) tinges. " ISloshesh—Peace is the mother of all. I admire what your Honour has mentioned. I would be glad to hear any remarks of Mr. Ford's in confirmation. " President—We will await your answer. " Moshesh —lf no one else speaks it may appear as if these were the words of only two people. " President—l am the representative of all my people, and my word is theirs also. I wish to hear the wind of Mosin-sh'e people through him as their chief. " Mosbesh—May the things we speak of ascend to heaven ? My mind looks on the two personages present as the first fruits of a new year. I do not mind faults being mentioned, but I understood this to be a meeting of friendship. I met Mr. Ford about the faults now brought for wan!. Ido not deny that some of the things have gone in our direction. I do not know the best means of stopping these things. What has the Gov e rn o r he there come for ? Has he been sent by his master ? not a word of advice and wisdom ? I cannot bearU he weight of all. You come from the land of e Chaka. If you have not seen him, you may have _f en _ ou hparvientws of him. him. He was ruined by his relations. Y We got all we dow to build beautiful houses of clay. have from the whites • can we not make some plan by which we can enjoy what we have and keep peace! Dr. Philip wrote to the English Government when we were in trouble, and it assi sted us. The complaints have not been sufficiently established. If you can show time the cause of dissatisfaction let me know. There I end. "President —I will take him up at the last word. The cause he must know, but the wzty is this—his people come i n and steal. The missionaries have been long enough in the country for them to know that stealing is wrong. I believe that Moehesh has enough good men amo ng his people to help him to put down the wicked men who steal. lam glad to hear that he wishes to get ad vice. I want it also. If we can both get advice, I for my part am ready to take it, and be guided by it. If he is willing to take advice from his Excellency, I am also. I will state the cause of complaint, a.-.d if be has any I hope that he will state any he may have, and then, if I can, I will remove it. I will tell him clearly, in as few words as possible, what it is we complain of. The thefts committed in Mr. Ford's district within two years, a; carefully collected by hint front the field-cor nets, amount to 297 head of breeding cattle. " Moshesh—l have already agreed with Mr. Ford that I was convinced that some cattle had been stolen, and I have made him promises. Can you not give me some advice? " President—Tl Moshesh will listen I will just tell him the numbers. " Moshe,h—lt is just what I wanted. "President—Oxen and breeding cattle together, 3 63 ; horses, 294; sheep, 112. I was not satisfied with the sim ple returns of the field-cornets, and have instructed Mr. Ford to get statements on oath from the owners of tolen cattle. 'Phis isnot yet completed, but is considerable. Since the numbers in the statement of the field cornets London : t and ,Eon, Clerken well- close . Just Published, price IL, clo:11.

I have received reports also from Mr. Orpen that thefts of horses are comioitted - ori the' Wit, burg border. Some ' of the kurses have been found with Molitsani, and some have been given up ; others he refuses to return, unless the owners cone to fetch them. This must not be. -My people cannot be put ti such expenses. He ought to have sent the stolen horses and thieves to Win burg, where they would have been punished by us. Steal ing will never cease unless thieves are punished. Re taking stolen cattle from the thief is no punishment. He ought also to be fined, .or receive corporal punish ment. If the chief refuses to give up the thief he makes himself responsible. We put thieves in prison, and punish them when convicted. If lie did so we week' nut h ave an y more stealing. lie need not tell me that he has no power to puri , le those who do wreag, fur if they can r .telat the stolen cattle they can punish the thief also. It is complai.ied that Molitsani harbours bushmen and , tier thieves ; ai,o, that Letsela occupies tie lands of the farmers and makes gardens there. These are the very people whom Mosl,e di promised Hoff man to remove last January. -Molapa., people have also encroached, wel Molapa, though he has protrii,ed to remove them, has no; done_ so. I mention these things to show that they gave r:se to quarrels. My people swill not submit to it any longer. Now, as 1 e asked my aivice, I say that if his people will not obey him he must make them. He must take his people against them. Those thing?; that they shoul I net wish us to do he must not do. He would not be satisfied if I said I could not help such things, if c rumitted by my people. I know that they can do it, because sometimes for months long no thefts were commuted ; so, if they could stop the thieving once, they could do so again, and there are other chiefs who never steal. I cluc!utle, therefore, that those chiefs who will , xer,;ise their power can Stop stealing. c 4 AI s'lsth—Can the names of those chiefs be given ? " President—Moroko, Jan Bloem, Lepui, Adam Kok, and Waterb,or. Moshesh--Yon mention those things, his Excel lency being present. We must remember that we are on a friendly visit, Your honour must remember• that vcu have ben only a short tinio in t: r 3 country. The Landdrost and I, who have long lived hero, know better. The sward of the mouth is grievous. We had better nit speak so, but separate in peace, as we have met in penc: z . _ " President—l think thl hest way to secure peace is that friends meet and speak their minds. I have stated all I have to say, and I want Moshesh to state any grievances he has to speak about. " Moshesh—Not to-day. " President—Very good ; I shall always be happy to hear from him about anything that is done wrong by my peop!e, as war would only break us all down ; but it' there is any other thing, as his Excellency is present, of which he feels aggrieved, I should be glad to hear it.. Moghesh —Not to-day. Let us go home. We eau correspond by letter. " President--Would he like his Excellency tc give us some advice. " Moshesh—lt isnot theproper day. His :Excellency is not }Preto hear dif f iculties. We can correspond by letter. " President —4 thought Moshesh would wish it. " Moshesh—Ad vice to a chief might be given in pi i• vate, and not in " President—When occasion is urgent we seize the first opportunity of meeting, and, if MAshesh postpones the conference on these urgent matters, some accident may occur, for which we may he sorry before we meet again. It may be long before we , an meet again ; it may not be easy for us to do so. We can write, but we may not understand each other so well a, by conversing. I have therefore spoken to him in his Excellency's pre sence, in order that he might give us some advice, and that we might profit by it ; and it would be a satisfac- tion to go home with the mutual conviction of having come to an understanding to cotrcct what has been wrong. " Mosheih-4 did not expect that the maters already settle i :b. Mr. Ford, and to whom I lave already ry,i‘N=n an answer, would he touched upon ; and I have also g;ven a piper to Mr. Venter, that people suffering; trom thefts should be sent to me. lam ready to hear advice. " President—l know nothing of Mr. Venter's arrange eta nt. He had no right to make one. I was then in the country. Such a proposal as_ yours, that we should go into your country and seaveh for one property, could never be entsrtaine 1. Mr. Verde:' was appointed with three others. The directions given by all to Mr. Ford were good, and ought not to have been broken by one. If I was to send my people in that way into your country, it would only snake disputes, and break our friendships. "Moshesh—l did not come to speak of business. "There seemed to be some misinterpretation of the Chief's in-sluing in this last sentence, which had been interpreted in English by Nehemiah, Moshesh's son. " His Excellency Sir Geo. Grey then asked the Rev. Mr. Arbousset, who was acting as interpreter, whether he thought Moshesh would like to hear what he thought he ought to do. " Mr. Arbousset replying in the affirmative. h;. cellency addressed Moshesh as foldows : You say that @ra wise nnonldi in being able to build beautiful housed of cay ; a man who does that is respected by others, but a man who raises barharians in the scale of civilisa tion is admired by ages. You are now the builder. You have collected some barbarians and made a kind of na tion. The question now is whether you are to succeed or fail. Not only is South Africa looking on, but many other parts of the world too. Every good man is will ing to assist ;no more so thail the President. I have had an opportunity of hearing his views, and I and sure he is anxious to help Moshesh to succeed. It is impossible that a civilised nation can allow a nation of thieves to remain on their boundary. The President and I are ready to put them down. I would be glad to see you mote cordial to accept the President's offers than you have seemed to be ; and, as I am now going away for a considerable time, I should be glad to be certain that you would devise some plan for the future. Iu such a plan I will assist as far as the Cape colonial boundary is concerned. It must be greatly owing to your energy that you have raised yourself to the posi tion you now hold, and I would advise you to trust to that energy in future, and not to bad advisers. I trust that before I leave you you will give some proofs that you will put down stealing, and allow your tribe to prosper. I am sure the President's remarks will be appre ciated ; I have been particularly strack with their just ness. I hope before I leave that you will promise to put an end to such practices as those that have been carried on. " Moshesh—We ought to praise his Excellency for his words, though we were not aware, when called to visit, that such things would have been brought forward. " President —lf he is not prepared to speak on busi; nese, will he appoint another meeting, or will he go home and consider, and acquaint me with the result, and in the meantime try with his chiefs to put a stop to steal ing? or otherwise consequences may ensue that we may deplore . " Moshesh—When I met Mr. Ford at Sefali's I made an agreement with him that he should make a list of stolen cattle, with the particulars of theft, in order that 1 could call on the guilty chiefs, and show them the accusations against them. " Mr. Ford explained that the list was in the course of formation. " Moshesh expressed himself satisfied, and said that the measures adopted to settle the thefts on the list would go towards stopping any future thefts. " President—Will the chief give me some promise that he and his chiefs will endeavour to put a stop to any future thieving, or else the lists will only continue to increase ? " Moshesh—l cannot bind myself to say that there will be no more stealing ; thieves do not tell me when they come in or ge out. Did I not at the meeting with Ford, at Sefali's, tell my people they must not even ste a l he a goat ? You must give me time. I have eaten the it Governor's meat, and it will be easy for me to vomit up, but it is not so easy to make thieves disgorge what they have stolen. " President—l praise Moshesh for the manner in which he met Mr. Ford. " Moshesh—The sooner the papers are ready the bet ter., I will make my report on o wtahetany satisfied.asassoon I s possi h bl u e l . l always l:gc a b s d w er e , t e l , withnow g s him, to re move a ll diffi cult i es, as in in the same s it ua ti ons. lour very r gfl i n aa will , Moshesh.—l feel as you do. I came to bring some words to my people. Peace and tranquillity by all means They are the only things to be relied on. It must be the wish of both. We must by patience over come evil. " Presilent.—l am very glad to hear what he says, and I will remember his words. "His Excellency the Governor.—Work away build ing this house." We have also received additional files of papers from the Cape of Good Hope to the 25th of November. Everything was going on prosperously at the colony. TESTIMONIAL TO A CLERGYMAN,—The Rev. W. Her bert, incumbent of Princes End, Staffordshire, has re ceived from his Sunday-school teachers a new year's gift of a very beautiful artn•chair, as a testimonial of esteem. PREFERMENT.—The Bishop of Winchester has insti tuted the Rev. George Pearson, M.A., to the vicarage of Combe, Hants ; patrons, the Deans aud Canons of Windsor. THE MURDER OF ROBERT STIRLING, ESQ.—REWARD OF 550/.—lnformation has been received at the Chi e f Police-office which may facilitate t he app re hension of the persons concerned in this atrocious murder. It w il l b e remembered that amongst the articles of va l ue taken from the person of the dec eased wai a silv er engine turned watch, with silver face and gold figures, No. 3,846, maker's name ~ J . and W.

This there are strong reasons for believi ng was disposed of either by pledging or sellin g in the town of Durham a f e w days subsequent to the murder, and it being sus pected that the watch is in the possession of an unli censed pawnbroker ( dol ly - shop-keeper), her Majesty's Secretary of State has engaged to remit the penalty and adv i„ the grant of her Alojesty's pardon to any unli censed pawnbroker, or other person who may have taken the watch in pledge or purchased it, not being the actual perpetrator of the murder, provided he or she produce it promptly, and give evidence as to the person front whom it was received, and a reward of 501. will be paid on its production. This is independent of any claim the person may have to the whole or a portion of the large reward of 500/. already offered, and to be paid to any person or persons who may be instrumental in ob taining the conviction of the murderer or murderers. o < t,~f Feb I DOW .
