...------ Now ready, in 3 vols. post Bvo., CASTLE DEL ORAINE; 1 Or, THE RUINED FEER. By MARIA FRISCILL 1 SNI ITH. " There Is ample evidence of power in this work. Miss Smith writes well. She has great depth of feeling and great power of thought ; she has boldness and decision, earnestness and sincerity ; she has adopted the wider views of the day, and we can almost safely assure her an audience beyond that which clusters round the library-table of most writers. The impassioned earnestness of Miss Smith will and must find itself many fitting outlets, and we hope that wehall soon welcome another book of hers to our autumn e side, whi s ch shall make us forget the loss of the summer sun ins he fervour and poetry of its pages."—Morning Chronicle.

SEPTEMBER 10, 1851 The news brought from the Cape of Good Hope by the Hellespont, which arrived at Plymouth yes terday, is of the most unsatisfactory character. The Kafir war continues, and the contest every day as sumes more and more the character of a war of races, o f a war of the black man against the white. It is evident also that the blacks are in a higher state of organization than they could have possibly attained without the assistance of persons more advanced in civilization than themselves, and that they manage to obtain accurate information of the movements and intended move ments of our troops, and accordingly make their irruptions on the unguarded points, and after having ravaged the country and murdered the settlers they retreat to the fastnesses with their booty before the arrival of the troops, of whose approach they alwa)s appear to have timely warning. Had these circum stances occurrecl in one or two instances only, it might perhaps have been considered a curious coin dence, or perhaps the cunning of the savage might have obtained credit for that which, as it is of invariable occurrence, proves that we have traitors within our own camp, who constantly communicate to our enemy everything that is pas sing, point out to him our weak points, give him notice of approaching danger, assist and comfort him in his enterprises, and advocate his cause, and aid in his escape when he falls into our power. Every circumstance attending this war from its com mencement proves that the Kafir and the Hottentot, who have, until the present moment, been irrecon cileable enemies, are acting together in furtherance of some common scheme concocted by a third party, who possesses such influence over both Kafir and Hottentot as to induce them to cease their feuds and to become allies. 'Who are these third par ties who have thus stirred up the blacks and united them as one man against the whites. The settlers themselves do not hesitate to say that the missionaries are the traitors who stir up this war, the spies who give information to the enemy, and the organizers and tacticians of the Kafirs and Hottentots; and it is but right and fitting that the inhabitants of this country should be made acquainted with the opinions of those who are on the spot, and who see all that passes as to the conduct of the reverend gentlemen who are accused of being the stirrers up of this strife. In the United Service Magazine for September we find the continuation of the journal of the Kafir war by an officer serving in Kafirland, and also an inter esting historical sketch of the history of the native tribes of South Africa; in each of these papers grave charges are brought against the missionaries, and these charges are supported by authorities so re spectable, and evidence of such a character, as to call at least for further investigation. The writer of the jour• nal asserts that all along there has been an understanding between the Kafirs and the Hottentots, that the Cape corps, composed almost entirely of Hottentots, has never suffered from the fire of the enemy, and that they i❑ return never fired at the enemy except with blank cartridge. Large bodies of these men deserted to the Katirs, t tkin4 with them their arms and ammunition, and it is well known that over both Hottentots and Kafirs the influence of: the missionaries is unbounded. On the 11th of February, a com bined force of Kafirs and Hottentots expelled the white settlers from a missionary in titution named Shiloh; many of the Hotten tots belonged to it, and had been educated by the missionaries for the church. The sertlers fell back upon Whittlesea, where they were again at tacked by the Hottentots, who were defeated and driven back to Shiloh, when they entrenched them selves in the church. The garrison of Whittlesea having obtained reinforcements, were about to proceed to attack them in their position, when orders were received from General SOMERSET to cease hostilities against the rebels at Shiloh. " This order," writes the journalist, "is past comprehension. It is suspected that the missionaries have made out a plausible case in favour of their pet rebel Hottentots now they are likely to get the worst of it." On the 19th March a public meeting was held at Graham's Town, at which a petition was agreed to, praying the Governor to cause an inquiry into the causes of the Hottentot rebellion, and that the mis sionaries stationed at the different places where the re bellion broke out be detained in the colony until such inquiry take place. Mr. COOK and Mr. GOD. LINGTON were appointed to proceed, accompanied by an escort, to the Governor's camp with the peti tion. By the merest chance they ascertained, when within eighteen miles of the Governor's camp, that his Excellency had gone to King William's Town, and they turned back, sending a portion of the escort on to the camp. That escort fell into an ambush of Kafirs, who fired thirty shots at them, followed by a shower of assegais. How did the Kafirs gain their information of the movements of these gentle men ? Several of the missionaries, it appears, refused to leave their stations, even after the rebellion had broken out, and notwithstanding escorts had been sent to protect them, preferring, says the journalist, to remain with the natives to instil into them bad advice. As to the results of missionary teaching, we find the following statement in the his torical sketch of the natives and tribes of South Africa : " The Hottentots and Kafirs of the Stockenstrom dis trict were treated with uniform kindness, but having attained their majority, proved rebels and traitors, and a 4courge to the colony; and the instruction they received from the missionaries, it is to be feared, was rather of a political than religious nature, and made them ac quainted with bedition rather than truth. The popula tion consisted of about 5 000, of whom a fourth part were mirfults capable of bearin g arms. We will teke the tes timony of the missionary Bonaby himself, who says:— ." I have taken a farewell of my mission, after a resi dence of nineteen years. I find my labours lost, not atiove four Kafira and three Fiegoes go with me, the rest of my congregation have taken their porti'n deli berately with the rebels, and I have no hope of the con version of these people; indeed the worthy Baronet him self styled the London Missionar y institutions for the conversion of the Hotte ntots nurs e r ies of idleness, vice, and crime.' " Sir Henry Pottinger a lso wrote disparagingly of the missionaries, whom he found tampering with the people, and engendering evil between them and the Government, filling their minds with imaginary wrongs that never existed.' " Justice to the colonists, a due respect for the very high authority of Sir HENRY POTTINGER, justice to the mis s i onar i e s themselves, demand that the inquiry sought for by the conveners of the' Graham's Town Meeting" should be instituted without delay. The new Austrian loan, which has for some time formed a topic of conversation in the vicinity of Capel-court, has at length been officially announced. s E v E rs MILLIONS OF POUNDS STERLING is the mere trifle required ; but as that is to be paid in without dedu,:tiOn or drawback, and all expen ses an d c h arges , are to be added to the liability, it is probable that the additional debt about to be contracted will amount to nearly NINE MILLIONS OF POUNDS STER LING—a small addition to the "dimmed total" of Aus trian indebtedness, which may possibly prevent the punctuality in the liquidation of the interest, so much to be desired. In estimating the chances of such a contingency it should not be forgotten that this is the second appear ance of Austria in the character of a borrower within a very brief period—a clear proof that the Financial Minister of the empire is not afflicted with the " Wood difficulty," of having a large surplus to dis pose of, but that, on the contrary, there is a regularly increasing deficit—a state of affairs that will be by no means improved by the addition of some 450,0001. per annum to the Imperial liabilities, without any corresponding effort to increase the Imperial revenue. There is another circumstance that should also be borne in mind by those who, with more money than wit, are speculating on the chances of selling at a premium the stock for which they may subscribe. It is usual in all such cases, where the would-be bor rower is in a sound financial position —or, to use ordinary language, perfectly solvent—that the trans action should be arranged with some one or more of the great houses who direct their attention to such matters ; the terms are decided, and the house generally offers a share in the transaction to its friends and clients. The respectability and high character of the intermediate party acts as a great inducement to capitalists to come forward, it being certain that the ROTHSCHILDS, or BARINGS, or others of a similar character would not connect them selves with a bubble scheme, or one that was not con cocted in a fair and bona fide spirit, and likely to prove remunerative to the subscribers. The mere fact, then, that there is no direct contract, no banking or mercantile firm having a positive interest to keep up quotations, and willing to come forward at any uture time, and even to make considerable sacrifices to ensure the punctual payment of the dividends, must have a very depreciating effect on the future pro. spects of the new loan. We rejoice, too, to say that no provision or stipula tion has been made for payment of interest in Lon don. The lenders may receive, or rather are pro mised to be paid, the stipulated dividends in Vienna, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Brussels, or Paris, a very considerable allowance, no less than 5 per cent., being offered to those who elect to receive payment in the Austrian eapital—the price being 95 if the dividends be payable at Vienna, and 100, if payable in any of the other places indicated. This extraordinary difference, as well as the other points of advantage to early subscribers, a bonus of two per cent. being offered to all whose applications are sent on or before the 16th instant, and one per cent. if between the 16th and 23d, together with half per cent. commission to all persons taking to the extent of 50,000 florins, or 5,0001. sterling, should also be borne in mind, for the vendors of really good articles are seldom inclined to make such " alarming sacrifices" to induce purchasers to come forward to take the goods offered without ex amination or consideration. We have heard of such expedients being resorted to at mock auctions, and places disposing of the stock of some alleged bank rupt who had no existence, save in the fertile imagi nations of the acute speculators, but they are not adopted by respectable houses, whose warranties might be considered as satisfactory assurances, worth something more than the paper on which they were written. The fact is, however, too apparent, and it must, indeed, be the veriest gudgeons, the greenest geese, that can be captured by such transparent humbug. Under such circumstances, it is almost unnecessary to say that the project finds but little favour on the Stock Exchange. There are not many persons willing to furnish fresh illustrations of the facility with which persons of a certain class are disposed to part with their moneys. The deliberate slight offered to England, in declining to make any part of the interest payable in London, or the objects for which the money was required—whether to crush the inde pendence of a high-minded and generous people, or to rivet the chains on the Austrian nation, and carry out the retrograde policy of the Austrian Government —may be matters of but little importance, not coming within the scope of Capel-court morality. But the security and stability of the contemplated loan — the certainty of receiving the dividends at the ap pointed time—and, above all, the prospects of the new stock being quoted at a premium or discount — will have an unequivocal effect, lend completely ex clude the stock from the English money minket, unless very great temptations, far greater than any yet alluded to, be offered. If such should be toe case, we would entreat our countrymen to use caution before they be taken in by any bait, however alluring, or fall into the trap prepared for their capture. Let them com pare the existing liabilities of the Austrian empire with its actual revenue and probable resources. We are told that it already owes 1,100,000,000 of dollars, while its income is totally inadequate to meet its expenditure, a fact that may readily be con ceived, when its intense passion for " playing at soldiers," and maintaining an enormous standing army, is taken into account. There is also its acknowledged dependence on Russia, le ho could, at any moment that it pleased the AUTOCRAT to issue an ukase, crush its neighbour or subject him to any indig nity. What would be the selling price of the new Austrian stock if NICHOLAS should make any hostile movement ? Connemara mortgages, or Galway judgments would be far preferable! Let those who have the slightest inclination to dabble in the transaction, under the delusion of getting out of it with a handsome profit, reflect on these matters, and if they should resolve to abstain from any interference, they will find that they will have no cause to regret the following our advice. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur publishes the following appoint ments :—Vice-Admiral DE LA SUSSE to the command of the Mediterranean squadron, in the room of Vice- Admiral PARSEVAL DESCHENES ; Vice-Admiral CAST, to be vice-president of the Council of the Ad miralty, in the room of Vice-Admiral DE LA SUSSE ; and Vice-Admiral PARSEVAL-DESCHENES, to be member of the Council of the Admiralty, and presi dent of the Council of Naval Works. Forty of the foreigners lately arrested have been set at liberty, but orders have been given to them to quit France in the shortest possible delay. The Messager has the following:—" The affair of the conspiracy organised by the foreign Democratic committees still occupies the attention of our Cabinet. It is more particularly towards Switzerland that the action of the French Government is at this moment directed. Geneva is, in fact, always a hotbed of pro pagandism for the political refugees of all countries. Diplomatic notes hare already been exchanged be tween the French and Federal Governments. Last night a Cabinet courier left the Foreign-office Ath dispatches for the French representative to the Hel vetic cantons." . _ We read in the Bulletin de Paris—" The princi pal person arrested last week, M. ANTHOINE, is the founder of the association of cabinet makers in the Faubourg Sr. Antoine, where he had great influence. He it was who was al,uded to by M. DE GIRAaDIN, when he proposed a workman as candidate for the Presidency of the Republic." It would appear from this statement of the Bulletin that the pretended conspiracy is a mere electioneer. ing trick intended to put hors de combat a rival can. didate for the Presidency. We read in the Ocean of Brest—"lt is announced that the most positive instructions have been sent by. the Government to the Commandant of the French squadron at the Antilles to assist the Cuban Govern mentthe aggressions of the American pirates." esin reppirates."

PANCSAS.—About five years ago, when vicar of St. Bride's (to which he was presented by the late Sir Robert Peel), Mr. Dale was presented to the valuable living of St. Pancras, by the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's. As the Rev. Gentleman is the senior canon of the four who compose the chapter, this might be considered as virtually presenting himself with the living. Another death has now caused a vacancy in the neighbourhood of Edmonton, where the living is in the gift of the said Dean and Chapter, and it is said in well-informed quarters, that it will be forthwith presented to Mr. Dale, who will resign St. Pancras to his son, who in turn resigns ono that he now holds, value about 3001. per annum, in favour of his younger brother. As canon of St. Paul's, Mr. Dale's income exceeds 1,000/. per annum. It is rumoured that Mr. Morgan John O'Connell, Member for the county of Kerry, is about to get himself called to the English bar.

The Prussian Gazette, under date of Vienna sth inst., says :—" Commercial letters received from Russia confirm the accounts that the treaty of navi gation of the Danube, concluded between Austria and Russia, and which would have expired this month, has been prolonged. The treaties en• tered into with Russia with regard to salt are still the subject of negotiations between the two Cabinets. It is said that the system of the Austrian Landwehr will speedily undergo con siderable reform. No plan has yet been decided on, but it is certain that the object of the proposed mea sure is to diminish the effective strength of the active army and to diminish the expenses of the State. The Kolner Zeitung has letters from Hanover of the sth inst., stating that a Customs Convention has been concluded between the kingdoms of Prussia and Hanover. ITALY The 'Piedmontese Gazette of the 6?b contains a long account of the great military evolutions executed on the 3d by a part of the Piedmontese army on the site of the battle of Montenotte, the first victory of General BONAPARTE. The movements and opera tions effected at that battle were repeated on this occasion in the presence of the King of SARDINIA, the Royal family, and an immense crowd that had repaired to the spot from all parts of the province to witness the spectacle, which is described as magnifi cent• Not the slightest accident occurred. About 18,000 men took plrt in these evolutions. The Grand Duke of TUSCANY has issued a decree, dated the 29th ult., abolishing the forced currency of gold at Leghorn.

Margaret Williams, 46, was indicted for stealing a quantity of rice, arrowroot, sugar, tea, and o' her pro perty, belonging to Mr. Joseph Thomas Mitchell, sur geon, at Clapham. Prosecutor said the prisoner had been some time in bis service, but latterly she had become so addicted to drinking that he was compelled to reprove her on several occasions. On the 10th of last month she was about to leave the house in a very sudden manner with her boxes, when he received such information as caused him to stop her, and in the presence of a policeman examine her boxes. He there found several packages of rice, sugar, tea, a china saucer, and other articles belonging lo him. He also discovered a bundle, containing another lot of arrowroot, &e., concealed in the cellar, which the pri soner had deposited there fur the purpose of conveying away. She seemed much astonished when the property was found, and begged for mercy. Having missed pro perty to a considerable extent while she was in his ser vice, he thought in justice to the public he ought to give her into custody. One of prosecutor's servants said she saw prisoner deposit a bundle in the cellar on the night of the 9th ultimo. The cellar was afterwards locked, and the key given to her master. On the following evening the prisoner attempted to force the cellar door open with the poker, when witness went and informed her master. The bundle was then found in the cellar. On behalf of the prisoner, Mr. Charnock contended that there was no proof that the property belonged to the prosecutor, as his client might deal with the same tradesmen. - The jury found her Guilty, and the prosecutor having recommended her to mercy, the Court sentenced her to six months' hard labour at Brixton. EMBEZZLEMENT.—James Gomar, 16, was indicted for embezzling 4s. 6d., the property of his master, James Lambert, a grocer at Clapham. Verdict, Guilty. Sentence 21 days' solitary confine ment at Brixton. GUILD HALL. —cr HIS DAY.) John Lownie and James Brown were placed at the bar, charged with stealing a roll of carpeting, value 11. 55., from the shop of Mr. Charles Fisher, of 115, Alders gat', street. It appeared from the evidence of the daughter of the prosecutor, that about half-past two yesterday the pri soner Brown inquired the price of some druggeting, and was told it was Is. 6id. per yard. He stated that tie was in the trade, and a ked whether the usual allow ance would be made. This was agreed to, and he then left the shop, saying he would go and fetch his master. About three-quarters of an hour of erwards the prisoner returned; at this time the other prisoner, Lownie, was in the shop, inquiring the price of some hass. , cks, and almost immediately atterwards was missed a roll of car peting from the door, and the prisoner Brown had gone. The other prisoner was charged with being concerned in the robbery, hut he denied all kin.wl..dge of it. A police-constable was called, and he was given into custody. A little boy, son of the prosecutor, deposed that he bad seen the two prisoners talking together a short dis tsuce from his father's shop. The witness was positive as to the identity of the prisoners. The prisoner Brown, was taken into custody about eight o'clocl: last evening, in Red-cross-street, Crip plegate. The prisoner Lownie, on being called on for his defence, denied all linowludge of the robbery, or of the other pri soner; and Brown declared that he was in a different pail of the metropolis all day. Springate, the gaolor, recognised the prisoners as hav ing both been in custody before for felony. Alderman SIDNEY remanded the prisoners for a week, but consented to accept bail, of two sureties in 101. each. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) John 'Weaver, a fruiterer, of Covent-garden Market, was brought before Mr. Henry, oharged with commit ting a bratAl assault on Daniel Pi ng , a b ro k er ' s man i n the employ of Mr. Richard Chadwick, St. Martin's lane. It appeared that yesterday the complainant was put in possession of the defendant's apartments in Bedford court, Covent -garden, i!hEn the defendant demanded his authority, which, on being shown, be snatched at and tore. fie then rushed like a m a d man at comp l a i nant, seized aim, and threw him against the bed with such violence as to cut and bruise his face most severely, and there h e s h ou ld stop; b ut sub then saized a fire-shovel and threatened to bit him with that. He then locked the door and swore that, as the sub sequently y and threaten e d t o th row him cut of window. Complainant's cries brou g ht p o li ce - man changed was there, his mind, police constable 20 F to the door of the room, but it was some time before the defendant would open it; and when he did, he threatened to knock the policeman down stairs if he interfered; he was, however, ultimately taken into custody. gr. HENRY said people must not be thus violently re&sted in the execution of the law, and ordered defen daat to pay a fine of 51., or be imprisoned for two months. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY Notwithstanding that the supply ot English Wheat on sale in to day's market was but moderate, the demand for all kinds, owing to the prevailing fine weather for harvest work in the north, was in a very bluggish state, at Monday's prices. For future delivery next to nothing was doing. From abroad, 3,770 quarters of Wheat have arrived this week. Fine dry qualities were held at full rates of currency. Is the middling and inferior kinds scarcely any transactions took place. The ar rivals off the coast are small. The few parcels of Eng lish Barley on show chungtd hands at full quotations; but foreign parcels commanded very little attention. We had a very slow inquiry for Malt, at barely sta tionary prices. The Oat trade was very dull, and inferior parcels of foreig❑ were the turn lower. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Fl•iur were very dull. A.KKIVALS THU , WhEli Barley. Wheat . s. Qr. Qrs. Qrs.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool )esterday was very firm, and prices were in tavour of the sellers. Sales, about 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for ex port and 2 500 on spiculation. The sales comprised 8,500 American, 200 Egyptian at 6d. to 9d., 1,200 Surat at to 4d., and 70 Sea Islands at is. to is. 4d. per lb.—The Share Market was dull, end prices had a down ward tendency. The sales of Coffee by the Dutch Trading Company on the 6th inst. went off very well, and comprised 204 000 bags of Java. The finer descriptions were scarce. The Amsterdam auctions on Bth inst. also went off favourably. the Royal Mail Company's steamer, with the Brazi lian and River Plate mails, have arrived. The dates are to the 28th of July from BLIPLIOS Ayrf s. The war with Brazil would commence) about the second week in Au gust. At Rio de Janeiro a gor d deal had been done in the exchange on Lindon at 29.1. to id. The import market was dull, owing to the excessive stuck. The Sugar crop was large. By this opportunity there are accounts also of May 26, trom S) dney, when the gold di,coveries were still promising important results. The Lisbon advicos intorm us of the acquittal of M. Ferraro, the late Finance Minister, of the charges laid to him. The letters from the Cspe of Good Hope rather jus tify the view that in Kafirland proper the British forces are bringing the chiefs to reason, and that upon return ing to the colony they will revenge the massacres by the Hottentots and Hafts combined, upon the isolated farmers, and restore peace. The accounts from the West India colonies were de livered yesterday afternoon. From Jamaica it is stated:—" The Ist of August has come and is gone with no extraordinary feature to mark its advent. The late epidemic seems to have left a melancholy sadness upon the minds of the people wherever it has cast its darken ing and frightful shadow. Perhaps it is to this that the transfer of money for ' the good things of this life' has been so limited in our town, preparatory to the Ist of August, so joyously kept up by the listless improvidence peculiar to the uninformed class, whose liberty it was intended to commemorate. Among those engaged as domestics, particularly in towns, we can discover a considerable change both in their clothing and general conduct ; but there is still great room for improvement for both. Among the country folks, though not much further advanced in good living, there is a strong dis position towards the use of ardent spirits. Ween we see in the classification of depositors in the savings' banks forty-three coolie lah , urers and only sixty-one native labourers, we are to presume upon a mighty odds iu favour of the limited number of Asia against the my riods of Africa. The improvidence of the latter is here palpable. We have not had recourse to the domestic and trade columns, for there we cannot form a contrast; but we place forty three of a few hundred coolies egainie African labourers. The Atriums, only four in number out of thousands of night drumming, badly cl,thed men and women, as wild and rude as when in their pristine state of savage life; it would not have been unreasonable to have expected at least five times the number of native and African deposits. Perhaps as fair a demon stration of the want of toresight, nay, of direct impro vidence, in those people, is thus set forth in the classi fication table of the Savings' Bank. It, then, so little progress has been made during the last thirteen years of eatire freedom, what may be ex pected in the next series, unless some s 3 s tein of instruction shall have been adopted for all classes of the people ? We are persuaded that the people of Old Calabar stand a far better chance of being civil zed with rapid strides than the natives of Jamaica of the African race, who have been all their lives iu the midst of a free ana civilized people." . The amount of Custom. a cluiirs collected in Jqmtties during the quarter to the sth August was 36,7711., all upon imports. the quantity of goods in bond in Jamaica on the sth July was as follows:-109 bus., 522 half brls., 98 qr. brls., and 80 eights beet; 2 cwi., 1 qr., and 241 b-.

Money was rather tight. The Government was expected to act vigorously in repressing tile Cuban sympathisers.

The English Stock Market has been very quiet, and in the absence of money business there is no change in prices.

Tne committee of Mexican Bondholders have, by the Royal Mail steam-packet Dee, received advices from Mr. Falconnet, dated 4th August. He was con tinuing his endeavours to obtain accounts of the duties and tobacco revenue belonging to the old Bonds, and had hopes of coming to a satis'actory ar rangement with Messrs.
