In the House of Lords, last night, Earl GREY, in answer to Lords MONTEACLE and STANLEY, stated that it was true, u reported in the public journals, that there bad bsen a fresh outbreak of Kafirs at the Cape of Good Hope; and added, that measures had been adopted to send out v. reinforcement of troops to that colony. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated that a measure for the reform of the Court of Chancery would be shortly introduced into the other House. Lord Baotraneat laid on the table of the House a aeries of resolutions condemnatory of the income-tax, and their Lordships adjourned. in Anxieties of no ordinary kind must be inspired the bosoms of the financial reformers by the intent gerce just received from the Cape colonists. Another war has broken out between them and the savage band of tie Kafirs, and it cannot very speedily be forgotten that the last conflict between the same bel ligerents cost England no less an amount than two millions sterling ! Coupled with that rather unsatis factory recollection, the accounts referred to are really of a most unwelcome character—especially considering that just now we are in a fair P ay of setting our house in order by diminishing the annual sum of our national THE SUN, LONDON, disbursements. Bearing in mind, moreover, the cir cumstance that the moseys expended by us upon the last Kafir war exactly reached the " total" of the surplus now irrithe hands of the Right Hon. the Chancellor ,pf the Exchequer, the news of a fresh outbreak comes in the nick of time to damp the fer vour of our exultation at that rather unexpected ad vantage. It is, therefore, with feelings of genuine chagrin that the information brought to us from the Cape of Good Hope is commented upon by the British journalist. Altogether, the intelli gence comes at such an unlucky moment—at a mo ment so peculiarly embarrassing—that we must acknowledge ourselves to be naturally predisposed to find fault with the line of policy pursued in recent events by the local Government. Prejudiced against them as we may be in this manner, it must never theless be avowed with all candour and emphasis that even the most sinister suspicion fails to detect in their conduct anything really or even apparently reprehen sible. The whole of the late bloodshed seems to be attributable solely to the treachery of the savage tribes, their antagonists. To dignify the proceedings of the Kafirs by the title of diplomatic contrivances, is nothing less monstrous or less extravagant than to surround burglary and assassination with the attri butes of heroism. In every particular the Katirs have acted not with wily forethought, but with the most dastardly cunning. They hare found themselves con quered by the English, and, after binding themselves to amity by the most solemn engagements, have seized the very earliest opportunity to wreak a villanous and execrable vengeance. They have shown that while grasping the hands of the colonists with all the osten sible sincerity of reconciliation they were actually cherishing in their hearts thoughts of the most ac cursed hatred, of the most odious revenge, of the most implacable and fiendish turpitude. Scarcely three days had elapsed after the confer ence between the English Governor and the chiefs of the Kafirs, at which conference the latter consented, with all seeming friendliness, to receive from the former his appointment of a new sovereign, when the weapons of war were again brandished, and the surrounding country again devoted to the horrors of massacre and conflagration. SANDILLI, their former monarch, had been formally deposed. His successor had been as formally nominated, and the nomination of the new potentate had been submissively and even eagerly recognized. Yet the local rulers of the English colony had hardly been allowed sufficient time to appreciate the benefit accruing from these arrangements, when their hopes of a permanent paci fication were dissipated by the sound of another and a more barbarous assault than any they had already experienced. This attack, made in the first instance upon an isolated detachment under the command of Colonel MACKINNON, and shortly afterwards extended further along the frontier, led to the killing and wounding of three officers and sixteen men, to the seizure of three villages, and to the butchering of the inhabitants, amounting altogether to about seventy individuals. Five days after the co:nmencement of these atrocities, namely, on the 29th of December, Colonel SOMERSET appears to have been violently driven back at the moment when he was striving to effect an union between his own troops and those stationed at an advanced post en titled Fort Cox, under the authority of Sir HARRY SMITH himself, the Governor of the colony. En trapped, as it were, in this perilous predicament, Sir HARRY nevertheless contrived to extricate him self and his forces from every immediate difficulty, cutting his way boldly through the insurgent Kafirs, who endeavoured to impede his movements, and ultimately establishing the main portion of his little army in a position of at least comparative security. After the accom plishment of this preliminary enterprise, the veteran Governor issued a stirring proclamation to the colo nists, calling upon them, in the strongest terms imaginable, to arm themselves and rise en masse in defence of their possessions. Further than this ac counts do not proceed, so that we are left to conjecture yet awhile the nature of the response made by the people of the Cape to this energetic adjuration. Of the ulterior result of the whole movement no doubt whatever can, of course, be for one instant en tertained. Our only anxiety is in reference to the probable rapidity of the triumph to be obtained over the treacherous assailants of the colony. Upon this subject it is impossible not to be peculiarly solicitous, remembering the proofs already afforded us, and pre viously adverted to, of the costliness of warfare in the provinces of Southern Africa. The recollected payment of 2,000,0001. upon one item of this cha racter is a fact not likely to inspire any nation with sentiments of indifference. Eng land must, consequently, look with some real anxiety to the next dispatches to be received from the Cape of Good Hope. Under any circumstances it will remain to be decided whether the mo ther country will be required to pay any thing whatever towards the liquidation of the expense of the new conflict —• now that the Imperial Parliament has granted to the colonists the supreme rights of self-govern ment. With the acceptance of those rights it re mains to be resolved whether the population at the Cape have not assumed to themselves the responsi• Hides, and with the responsibilities the support of their own Administration. Implicit reliance is placed in the skill and valour of the heroic Governor of the Cape Colonists. Hitherto he has shown himself to be not only I .enient, but gene rous in his treatment of the Kafirs. He has now only to display his vigour and hardihood in bringing down upon their heads a sudden and terrible retribution. England has confidence that in doing this Sir HARRY SMITH will draw out of existing difficulties a long-desired and per manent pacification. Her confidence in him will not be misplaced, for he has demonstrated by his past achievements his right to the enjoyment of his high and brilliant reputation. If the British nation were animated by the spirit of MARE TAPLEY, it would rejoice:at the resumption of office by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. That tax-payer who could remain ",jolly" with Sir CHARLES WOOD at the head of the financial depart ment, and enabled to carry out all his " financial crotchets" and all his "financia/ schemes," would in deed be entitled to no ordinary amount of credit. He would exhibit his power of "coming out strong under untoward circumstances," in the most brilliant point of view, and as a model of exemplary patience, he might hope that his name would become " a house hold word," until it even superseded that of the hero of the " most ancient epic," that still survives the lapse of years. It would be difficult, perhaps, to construct a Budget which should in every respect so completely disappoint the reasonable expectations of the people as the " PRECIOUS" production which chiefly led to the jesignation of the Government, and occasioned the Itlinisterial crisis that has wasted a full fortnight of the public time during the most valuable part of the session. The best mode of misapplying a handsome surplus of two and a half millions of pounds sterling was a problem which Sir CHARLES WOOD must have studied with uncommon assiduity before he could have accomplished so admirable a solution of the principar features were perfect in e h ta e r wa questio. y Its ;andwhether we look to the v their pretended abolition of the window duties, " two thirds of the impost being retained under another name," a new class being brought under the impost, which had previously been exempted, or to the cool ness with which he had come to the conclusion" that the precarious earnings of industry should be rated as highly as the rents or dividends of accumulated and realized property, or to the unction with which he spoke of the 2,330,0001. which he had paid out of the national debt, hoped to liquidate as much more during the present year, and proposed to continue various oppressive and inequitable taxes that paralyze industry, for the purpose of satisfying the holders of Three per Cents. at par,—we must con fess that he has exhibited a degree of " sharpness , of Carnation sharp ness ," t h at m i g h t pu t SCADD ER himself to the blush. There is, however, some dif ference as to the re su l t . SCADDER succeeded i n ob taining theinvestment of British capital in the swa mp at Eden ; be was not found out until his object had been achieved, and CHUTZLEWIT and Co. completely ent solem n i ty, he could not defraud e d. B ut although the SCADDER of Downing-str eet b rought forward the numerou s c o ' s. who, i n the shape his scheme with sufficient keep his "brig ht eye on of independent j ournals, watch e d over the interest of their senior partneL—the public. His project had, therefore, scarcely bAn broached when it was greeted with one universal shout of derision that reverberated throughout the length and breadth of the land. He was detected in:time, before he could afford to smile at the indignation he had excited, and some new project must be devised before the feelings he has aroused can be allayed, or any proposition to which he is a party can be received without suspicion. Perhaps, taking everything into consideration, the proposition for maintaining the most annoying taxes on knowledge, cleanliness, and a variety of others almost equally objectionable, for the purpose of pay ing off the debt at par, or buying up Consols at 96t, 97, was, under the present circumstances of the country, even worse than the palpable dodge re specting the window-duties, or the open and bare faced injustice with regard to the income-tax. The enormous appreciation in the value of money, to which we have repeatedly alluded, which has made one pound at the present day go as far as two pounds would have done when the debt was contracted, or, in other words, more than doubled its purchasing power, compelling the debtors to give double the quantity of corn, or almost any other commodity, or double labour, in order to satisfy the same nominal charge, would appear to have given a sufficient advantage to the fundholder without any further and more perceptible movement in his favour. But something more was to be done—the last straw had not been heaped on the back of the patient and long-suffering ani mal, that permitted himself to be ridden almost to death by his various tax-masters. IVe hear a great deal of " justice to the public creditor," but what is said of " justice to the public debtor ?" The " equities of the fundholder" is reiterated usque ad nauseam, but who alludes to the " equities of the nation" to be allowed to liquidate its liabilities fully, fairly, and honourably, but without extravagance ? We wish to pay 20s. in the pound to the representa tives of those who advanced money in periods of emergency, but we object to pay 60s. or 80s., although we believe no code, human or divine, has given to fathers the power of mort gaging the industry of their children to provide for their own expenditure. We would not avail ourselves of such a plea, we would render justice to all without exception, we would throw the burden of the debt on those who ought to bear it —the inheritors or possessors of that property, for the protection and improvement whereof it was created. But we would not compel them to pay more than they were fairly bound to satisfy, and we: are satis fied, if our views were fully and fairly carried out, that, as in private, so in public affairs, " honesty " would prove " the best policy." It would, we have no doubt, be more bene ficial for the owners of property to relieve strug gling industry, even although an increase of direct taxation was rendered necessary thereby, and far more advantageous to the fundholders, to come to an equitable arrangement with respect to the na tional debt before the patience of " the many " was completely exhausted. We have no doubt that these observations will pro voke the animosity of the moneyocracy, who wish not merely to obtain their pound of flesh, but to draw a quantity of blood in the operation, that may prove fatal to the patients. We are, however, prepared to show that, taking the money actually advanced, and the changes in the value of that money by the ope rations on the currency, since the peace, that not one-fourth part of the debt is fairly due, the remain ing three-fourths being the premiums given to the cupidity of the usurers. A history of the national debt, and the various operations connected therewith (which we may be one day tempted to give to the world), would prove the accuracy of this assertion. As an example, we may refer to one of the latest cases—the last, indeed, before the termination of the war. In 1815, when we had an inconvertible note worth 13i., a loan of 36,000,000/. sterling was negotiated. The terms on which this financial operation was car ried into execution were, that the subscriber of every 1001. payable in Bank of England notes, or about 65/. in gold coin, should receive 1741. Three per Cent. Stock, and 101. Four per Cent. Stock, or, iu other words, 1841. stock for every 6.51. paid—nearly 60s. for every 903. advanced. This was certainly rather a good bargain for the lenders, although it might be considered as not exactly equitable by the borrowers. It will, however, serve as a tolerably fair illustration of the mode in which the 601,500,343/. was added to the national debt during the French war, and should not be forgotten when it is proposed to apply the taxes on knowledge, cleanliness, and industry, to the liquidation of that debt. We shall soon know, however, whether it is the intention of the new—old—Ministry to insist obstinately on the most objectionable part of the highly objectionable Budget, and be prepared to act accordingly. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Several of the reactionary journals urge upon the PRESIDENT of the Republic the necessity of creating General OUDINOT a Marshal of France, but the National reminds them that General OUDINOT, being a representative of the people, cannot, save by a fla grant violation of the Constitution, accept of any military promotion. The Slide has the following on the recent nomi nation of presidents and secretaries for the Bureaux of the Assembly : " There are no Republicans among the presidents and secretaries just named in the bureaux of the Legislative Assembly. Parties consider such a result natural and just; but, in our opinion, it is simply unjust. Parties thus show what they are; they even thwart their own plans; for they perhaps exalt those they seek to abase; for the whole nation has seen the Royalists have recourse to the Republican party whenever they wished to carry out the principles of the Constitution and the laws. Who thinks of being true, just, consistent, or popular in politics at the present moment? The Royalist parties are wholly occ•apied with toasts, letters, and retrospective opinions. They pre tend to feelgreat astonishment that on a motion for recall ing the Bourbon Princes, a revolutionary speech has been delivered. Why did they not answer it by a vote in favour of abolishing the laws of exile? Such would have been the only serious and becoming answer, but they could not resolve to make it. In the year 1823, when Chateaubriand had been defending in the tribune the principle of the famous Spanish war, Manuel came for ward to speak on the other side. In examining the ques tion as to whether the life of the King of Spain was threatened, he said that it would oaly be endangered by a foreign invasion, undertaken for his deliverance. Similar circumstances,' said he, led to the death of Louis XVI.; it was when the Prussians had entered Champagne, and while the Austrians and Prussians were hanging on the frontiers, and threatening the indern deuce of the territory—it was then that revolutionary France, thinking to gain fresh energy He Ras not suffered to complete the sentence; they accused him of openly preaching up regicide, and an accusation of provocation to regicides was drawn up by M. Forbin-des-Issarts. The result is known. Did the Royalists or royalty derive any advan tage from agitating the masses with Manuel's opinions. Did they get anything by transforming Manuel's elec tors into regicides, ready to apply the principle to any monarch whatever? At the present moment these same blind passions fancy they have an interest in carica turing as terrors the advocates of the Republican insti tutions. The men who, a few months ago, went about exclaiming that it was time to strike a decisive blow on the occasion of the electoral law, now attribute their own ideas to their opponents. There can be no terrorists without somebody being terrified, and just now none are disposed to play the parts of victims." Marshal JEROME BONAPARTE, governor of the In yalides, and only surviving brother of the EMPEROR, is confined to his bed by influenza. M. DE MONTALEMBERT and the Jesuits, having:suc ceeded in destroying the University, and perverting education, by placing it in the hands of the priests, have now commenced a crusade against the fine arts, and have actually proposed the destruction of the façade of the Pantheon, the chef cf euvre of DAVID.

Paid. Nondial Prices. GERMANY. Prince SCHWARTZENBEBO had addressed a note to the Sublime Porte urging the necessity of putting a stop to the Bosnian insurrection. This insurrection, which was projected in Vienna for the purpose of giving to bankrupt Austria an excuse for quartering her troops upon the Turks, has been put a stop to ; nevertheless, an Austrian army is concentrating at Semlia for the purpose of invading Bosnia, the excuse being now to secure freedom of religion for the Roman Catholic inhabitants of that province. It would be well for the cause of religious liberty, if every sect in the Austrian dominions enjoyed the same degree of freedom that the Christians do in the Turkish territory. It is said that the Emperor of RUSSIA has expressed his displeasure at the neglect recently manifested by Austria of the provisions of the treaty of Vienna. The Austrian army in Holstein has been increased by 3,000 men. MARKET NE W S.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. During the present week the arrivals of English Wheat for our market coastwise have amounted to 1,710 quarters, in greatly improved condition. The supply fresh up to-day was small, and the show of samples was barely an average. Selected qualities of Wheat of home produce sold slowly at full prices. In the middling and inferior kinds next to nothing was doing at late rates. From abroad 5,460 quarters of Wheat have come to hand, chiefly from the Black Sea. For all descrip tions the demand was in a very sluggish state, and low qualities here and alleat off Falmouth were again lower to purchase. The imports of French Flour have been confined to 1,690 sacks; yet, as the supply in warehouse is large, all kinds were very dull at barely late rates. Fine Malting Barley sold at extreme currencies; but grinding and dis tilling sorts were dull. We have no change to notice in the value of Malt. A steady business was transacted in Oats; but Beans, Pers, and Indian Corn were very dull. NRRIVALS THIS WEEK. Oats. Flour. Wheat. i Barley. I Malt. Qrs. 2,120 Railways.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 5,000 b4les, comprising 3,500 American, 300 Pernana and Maranham at 74d. to 80., 200 Bahia at 71d. to Bed., 400 Egyptian at 7t4. to 9d., and 500 Surat at 4id. to sid. per lb. The market was steady at pre vious rates, except tor common Egyptian, which were id. per lb. higher.—Railway Shares were firm, and prices had an upward tendency. In the Produce Markets business has been restricted this week, and few are disposed to operate until they ascertain whether the Budget will interfere with them. It is stated that owing to the high price of Tobacco, the dealers are making purchases of very inferior qualities, especially in Kentucky. Competition, however, and the ability of the large manufacturers to produce cheaper than others, has compelled some of their smaller rivals to endeavour to compensate themselves for the high price of the raw material, by buying the lowest descrip- tions or discontinue working. Sugar and Coffee have been dull, but Tea brisker this week. Mr. William Short reports of the metal trade that— " The market during the past month has been charac terised by general flatness in all descriptions of Metals (with the exception of Rails), and a disposition to ac cept offers even below nominal rates. In Rails a consi derable business has been done, at from 41. 17s. up to 51. 2s. 6d. per ton in Wales." There are later accounts from Brazil, which advise more activity in exports, Sugar especially, but notice no change of moment in imports. We are still without any news of the West India steamer that is to bring the Mexican mail. The amount of the remittances by the East India Company to the different presidencies has been a full average, and the exchange is expected to continue high for the present. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the sth instant was dull, but Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. remained at about the previous rates, viz., 57i to 7-16. Spanish Bonds were lather lower, but Mexican were in demand at an advence. Much satisfaetion is expressed in the City at the ap proval by Lord Brougham and Lord Overstone of the efforts now making,to.establish Tribunals of Commerce. Backed by such high authorities, legal and monetary, there is every encouragement to persevere. Oae of our most wealthy merchants, Richard Thornton, Esq., has lately given in his strong adherence to the principle of arbitration as proposed now to be carried out. The English Funds have been again inactive, and the " spurt "of yesterday has gone off. Consols are 96i for Transfer and Account.

The arguments in this part-heard motion for an in junction, the facts of which we have already given, were resumed this morning, and occupied the Court the whole day. From the immense mass of affidavits, and the number of cou nse l employed, it is not unlikely that the case will occupy the Court for three or four days to come. CRIMINAL COURT—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before L or d Chief Justice JERVIS and Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL.) TVIIBERY FROM THE PERSON.—A young man named James Harding, aged 22, described as a tailor, was in dicted for having cAnrnitted a robbery with violence on Mrs. Frances Mills, and stealing from her a bag and other articles, value Be., and moneys value 12s. 3d., the goods and moneys of Mr. William Mills, her husband. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Ballantine prosecuted; and Mr. Payne, with whom was Mr. Neagle, defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidonee, that on Tuesday ever. ing, the 4th of February, Mrs. Mills was pareh3sing some smell wares at a shop in nigh-street, Canicter. town, at a time when the prisoner was bargaining for some alpacas. The prisoner eyed her closely, and ob served her take a purse out or her pocket is pay for the articles she had purchased. Thiscircemstancee xcited the suspicions of Mrs. Mills, and it would se em not without reason, for directly she got outside the shop the prisoner ran up against her and snatching the parse from her hand took to his heels. She pur sued him and called out " Stop thief " but it was all to no purpose, as he managed to get far away ahead of her, and to escape down a court, leadivg out of York -street, Camden -town, where she lost sight of him. She, however, gave information to the police, describing his person as closely as she could, and in the course of a week he was arrested in a coffee-house, a few yards from the smallware shop in High-street. kle denied all knowledge of the robbery, and protested that he had not been to the shop on the Tuesday previous, but he was first taken to the shop, where the shoptaau recognised him as the man whom he served at the time Mrs. Mills was present, and then to the lady's residence in Georgiana-street, when she at once and without hesitation, identified him as the thief. It should be mentioned on cross-examination Mrs. Mills admitted that on the night of the robbery she misto ok greengrocer's lad for the offender, and gave him int'; custody, but on investi g ation it turned out to be a sad mistake, and the lad w as o f course liberated.
