T 11. E S U N, GREAT NORTHERN COAL TRADE. The mar gers of the Great Northern Railway Company ere taking most effective measures to de velop this traffic to ite utternioet extent. The arrange ments made by Ms. Coles Child, the manager of the coal traffic, are such that, it London will buy the coals, the Great Northern Railway Company can supply them at a greatly reduced price, and ,with the utmost faci lity. With the view of supplying the London public with as much of the black diamonds as they can be expected to consume, Mr. Coles Child contrived the following arrangements :—At the Maiden-lane station, which will remain as the goods station of the Great Northern Company, there is a long range of store-houses fur coals. The coal trucks run into these stores, and deposit their burdens in them in the twiekling of an eye, by apertures made in the bottoms of the trucks; through these apertures the coals drop iota the stores immediately beneath, be tween the rails. From these stores the sacks of the consumers are filled by allowing the coals to run down over a sieve, by which means a sack is filled with coals in an astonishingly short space of time, and the opera tion of screening is thoroughly well performed. The time and labour thus saved not only enabled the con sumer to have his waggon filled almost in the space or time formerly spent in filling a single sack, but the expense of the operation is materially reduced. By the above-mentioned means the Great Northern could !apply the London public with 2,500 tons of coal per day—if they should ever want as much. The stores will hold 2,500 tow at a time, and the coal trucks above them will hold 750 tons in addition. As many as fifty gangs of men could be at work Int the same time, attending the operation performed by the machinery of storing, screen ing, and sacking the coals, a force equal to dis posing of full 2,500 toas in a day. In the meantime, that is, while the coal trade amounts to much less than 2,500 tons per day, the expense can be nearly . appor tioned to the extent of business done. They need not have a man more than they require. At present the whole coal trade of the Great Northern amounts to about 1,2001. a week, the gross sum which the com pany receive for the carriage of each ton being a little under Is. ; the charge for >conveyance is about id. per mile per ton. If the London trade alone should ever amount to 2,500 tons per day, the gross receipts per annum would be about four times as much as the whole of the present coal traffic. 2,500 tons a day would be productive of a gross receipt of about 263,000/. a year, half of which would probably be profit to the company. But to speak our own mind, we must say we are not sanguine enough to expect results from the coal traffic so large as this.—Herepath. GLASGOW AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. —Traffic for he week ending September 6, 1851:-- Number of passengers (25,426), goods and parcels, horses and carriages ... £4,377 12 9 Corresponding week in last year for Glasgow and Ayr, and Glasgow, Dumfries, and Car lisle Railways ... £3,707 0 10 Glasgow, September 8. STATE OF FARM BUILDINGS.—In the courae of our practice we were led, some time since, to give more than ordinary attention to the arrangement and construction of Farm Buildings, an interesting sul , j2ct fur inquiry which has not been pursued to the extent it deserves, and in gcing over a number of farms for informatim, were astonished at the miserable condition in which the treater number of them were found. The buildings are ruinous • ill contrived; placed without any regard to convenience, stilt less symmetry; and erected in most cases regardless of known expedients for les sening labour and saving expense in the I:mg run. Even where there has been a willingness wisely to invest money in erecting new buildings or improving old ones, incompetent persons have in many cases been employed, and the result is very unsatisfactory.—Builder. A FARMER'S HELPMATE.—A young lady who, perhaps, is better acquainted with French than farming, and is more attentive to her piano than her dairy, was recently married to a farmer. In examining her new domains she one day visited the byre, when she thus interrogated her milkmaid :—" By the bye, Mary, which of the cows is it that gives the buttermilk ?"—• Montreal courier. ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO POISON A MOTHER.—On Wednesday a young man, named Daniel Richardson, was taken before R. Fitzjohn, Esq., a., Baldock, charged with at tempting to poison his mother with Spanish flies. The pri soner is a man of notoriously bad character. Several years ago he was transparted for a felony, sent to Gibraltar, and afterwards to Miilbauk Prison, where he remained fifteen months, when his sentence was commuted. The very day of his release he went to Baldock, and during the night en tered Messrs. Hog; and Lindsell's bank by the chimney; for this offence he was tried at the Hertford assizes, and sen tenced to twelve months' imprisonment. He had not been out of prison many days when the criminal attempt with which he is now charged was made. The prisoner had been to London, and upon his return was heard doing something in the kitchen, from whence he returned into his mother's living room. She was at the time looking over some papers, and had a glass of porter by her side. The prisoner bent over her for a minute, and on his mother immediately after taking up the poner to drink she found something clinging to her lips, and on looking into the glass detected something green: fl.,ating on the top. Something of the same kind also adhered to her lips. On examination, the foreign substance proved to be Spanish flies. The mother, afraid of her life, lave information to police-constable Hawkes after the lapse of some days, and at that time the constable found parts of two flies in his waistcoat pocket. The prisoner was com mitted to the assizes for trial. —Hertford Mercury. • TIIE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 9.—The Royal Mail steam-ship Severn, Captain W. Vincent, took her departure this afternoon with the usual mails for Lisbon, the Brazils, and the River Plate, in charge of Lieutenant Strover, Admiralty agent. The Severn took out 57 pas sengers, a very large cargo, and specie value 73,0001. sterling. The next Brazil mails will be brought by the Teviot, Captain Revett, which vessel will be the first homeward arrival under the new arrangements, and will be due here on the 16th inst. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Madrid, Captain John Weeks, sailed on Monday with the mails for Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar. She had a large number of passengers, a full cargo, specie value 2,500/., and 17 bottles of quicksilver on freight. The Iberia, with the next homeward mails, from the same ports,,is due here on Sunday next, the 14th inst. The United States mail steam-ship Washington , Captain G. W. Floyd, will leave Southampton on Wednesday (this day) at 2 rovr. She will take about 160 passengers and about 200 tons measurement goods on freight, the latter principally from Germany and France. MURDER. About eleven o'clo'k on Saturday night the inhabitants residing in the Tontine-close were alarmed by the cries of murder proceeding from the house of a tailor named Jack, who lives in that locality. The police having entered the house, found that Jack had been abusing his wife in a dreadful manner, and they took him into cus tody. In about an hour and a half afterwards word was brought to the Central Police-office that the poor woman had died in consequence of the injuries she had received. Dr. Easton was immediately in attendance, and made a par tial exami ,, ation of the body, but no injuries of a serious nature were apparent. From the statement of a little boy who was in the house it appears that Jack and his wife had quarrelled, and that he had attacked her with his fists, and knocked her down, and while on the floor had seized her by the throat. A post mortenz examination will, we uuderstano, he made, when the cause of death will probably be arrived at. Jack was apparently not drunk when taken to the office, and the victim of his cruel rage was, as far as we can learn, previously enjoying good health. Jack denies having ill treated his wife, but states that she was taken unwell, and while he was engaged feeling her pulse she died. The statement of the police officers, again, is, that the poor wu man was alive when they took the husband into custody. Both Jack and his wife are advanced in years.—North Bri fish Daily Mail. HARLOW-BUSH CATTLE FA IE, SEPT. 9.—This fair immediately succeeds that of Barnet. The supply was equal to any former occasion, and the prices, generally, for store beasts, from the large Lincoln to the tiny Scot, were much the same as at the great fair at Barnet, which, to mine extent, regulates the price cf live stock. The much and in-calf cows of the Yorkshire breed made rather more money, the cow jobbers buying several large lots at from 151. to -201. each for the London markets. The polled Suf ' folks made from 121. to 16/. each, a long price for a Suffolk, but they were some very choice animals. The horse-fair, heretofore a very celebrated and still an important one for the sale of cart colts and horses, was abundantly supplied. The best 5-year-old cart-horses, suitable for London work, very readily made 50 guineas each, and in some instances very choice animals reached 6.) guineas ; middling size, for agricultural purposes, 30 to 35 guineas each; cart colts, 2 years old, were in great demand, making 18 to 25, and 3 years old 30 to 35 guineas each, several large lots being bought by the farmers and dealers tram Kent, Surrey, and Sussex, who invariably attend this fair. A TEA DRINRER.—HaZiitt, the celebrated writer and critic, usu fly rose at from one to two o'clock in the day —scarcely ever before twelve ; and if he had no work in hand, he would sit over his breakfast (of excessively strong black tea, and a toasted French rob) till four or five in the afternoon - silent, motionless, and self-absorbed, like a Turk over his opium pouch ; for tea served him in this capacity. It was the only stimulant he ever took, and at the same time the only luxury; the delicate state of his digestive organs prevented him from tasting any fermented liquors, or touching any food but beef, mutton, poultry, or game, dressed with perfect plainness. He never touched any but black tea, and was very particular about the quality of that, always using the most expensive that could be got; and he used, when living alone, to consume nearly a pound in a week. A cup of Hazlitt's tea (if you happened to come in for the first brewage of it) was a peculiar thing; I have never tasted anything like it. He always made it for him self; half filling the teapot with tea, pouring the boiling water on ita and then almost immediately pouring it out, using with it a great quantity of sugar and cream. To judge from its occasional effect upon myself, I should say that the quantity llazlitt drank of this tea produced ultimately a most injurious effect upon him, and in all probability hastened his death, which took place from disease of the digestive organs. But its immediate effect was agreeable, even to a degree of fascination ; and not feeling any subsequent re action from it, he persevered in its use to the very last, not withstanding two or three attacks similar to that which ter minated his life.—Douglas Jerrold.

Our acauaintance commenced with that great equi noctial storm which blew down our grandfather's barn. At that time he was a young man in the prime of life, and we think raised the best marrowfat peas we ever ate. He was a good mathematician, kind to the poor, and troubled with fits. In all the relation of a husband, father, uncle, and trustee of common lands, be has followed the direct stan dard of duty. Mr. Thomas is at this time forty-three years of a , e, slightly marked with the small-pox, an estimable citizen, a Church member, and a man of known integrity for ten years. And as to sheep-stealing, what he would have done if he could get an opportunity is without founda tion in point of fact. Mr. Thomas could have stolen our lead.peucil several times, but didn't do it."

On Saturday night, about half-past ten o'clock, while a goods train was coming in from Leith Junction, a man, apparently a labourer, was observed lying on the op posite line of rails, with life all but extinct. Assistance was immediately procured from St. Margaret's, and he was removed first to the station at Waverley-bridge, and then to the police-office. To all appearance he had, in a state of helpless inebriation, wandered upon the line, and been overtaken by the train which leaves for Musselburgh at nine o'clock. The body was frightfully mutilated, both feet, together with the right hand, having been cut off, and he died shortly after being discovered. He was a middle aged man, and as yet has not been identified. —Caledonian Mercury. DEATH OF Miss Sheil, a• maiden sister of the Right Hon.

PLYmounr, TUESDAY.—The General Screw Steam Shipping Company's steam-ship Hellespont, Captain William Watts, arrived here about midday. Her dates are—Cape of Good Hope, August 1 ; Sierra Leone, August 16; and St. Vincent, Au gust 24. Her accounts of the state of affairs on the frontier are far from satisfactory. Sir Harry Smith appears to have made no move ment of consequence during the previous month, while the Kefirs and Hottentots are spreading them selves through the eastern provinces, and penetrating settlements previously considered secure from danger. Just previous to the departure of the steamer news reached the Cape of an attack upon some English, between Fort Beaufort and Graham's Town, when five were killed by the rebel Hottentots. Strong patrols were sent out immediately, but with what success is not known. It 2ppears that while Sir Harry Smith has been checking an enemy on the frontier, the Kafirs and Hottentots have been invading and ',Waging the in ttrior. Our correspondent at the Cape, under date Aug. 1, says—" From what I can learn, Major Warden hat:, been defeated in the Sovereignty, the Kafirs are within five miles of Uitenhage, and the war, conse quently, in the heart of the colony." About the 20th of July, on the return of a patrol under Colonel Mitchell, from Kieskamma, they were unsuccessfully attacked by Se 3 010, who stated that as he had lost his country and cattle, he did not desire peace. The news from Krell is pacific, and he pro fesses to have discovered his error. Sandilli is said to be dejected, and to be contemplating removal be yond the Nye. Pato continues 'attached to British interests. No further supply of troops had reached the Cape subsequent to the arrival of the Vulcan, but the Go vernment dispatches, forwarded by the Hellespont, were sent to the frontier by her Majesty's steamer Hermes, which was provided with sufficient fuel to go on to the Mauritius, where there are spare troops. On the 25th of July, during a strong northerly gale, the merchant ship Vimeira, Lawson master, parted from her anchors and went ashore in Table Biy; crew saved. On the 29th the brig Fanny, Bristow, parted from her anchorsin Table Bay during a N.E. gale, and ran ashore under the battery; crew saved ; all the cargo expected to be saved. On the 19th the William Foster, from Table Bay to Algoa Bay, struck on Cape Receife, and immediately went to pieces ' • crew and passengers saved. The fine ship Randolph, 700 tons, belonging to Duncan Dunbar, from Calcutta, with Coolies, was lost on a reef off the Mauritius • one passenger, Lieutenant Scott, two seamen, and 27 Coolies drowned. Her Majesty's steamer Alecto, which arrived at Sierra Leone about the 12th, was left there on the 18th of August, and her Majesty's ship Dolphin was signalled on the 18th, standing into the river. The Birkenhead and the Cyclops called at Sierra Leone, with troops for the Cape, all well. The rainy season was nearly over, and Sierra Leone generally healthy. The Brazilian mail steamer Tay left St. Vincent, Aug. 24, at noon, for Pernambuco, Rio, and Bahia. Her Majesty's steamer Dover, having on board the Gave: nor of Gambia, was at anchor at St. Vincent when the Hellespont left. The Cyclops, Sydon, and Retribution touched at St. Vincent, on their way to the Cape, with troops. Spoke on Passage—Aug. 25, in lat. 19.20 N., long. 24.10 W., a screw -steamer, supposed to be the mail-packet Bosphorus, Captain Hall, bound to St. Vincent and the Cape of Good Hope; Aug. 26, in let 21.10, long. 25, the Highland Home, bound to the Cape of Good Hope ; July 22, in lat. 32.45 S., long. 16.26 W., signalled the ship William Stewart, homeward bound ; Sept. 3, in lat. 41,44 N., long. 19.17 W., signalled the brig Fanny, from Liverpool for Barbadoes; Sept. 7, in let. 48.15 N., long. 10.40 W., the schooner Eagle, 63 days out from Constan• tinople. _ _ The Hellespont brings passengers from the Cape : Mr. and Mrs. Serrurier, Mr. and Mrs. Rice Jones, Mrs. Joseph and child, Lieutenant Barnes, 73d Regiment • Mr. Greig, Mr. Baker, Mr. Maurice, and Mr. Joseph; from Sierra Leone, M. Dury and Mr. Lewis. Her cargo consists of wool, golddust, hides, skins, aloes, wines, and gold specie to the value of 2,0001. The mails, in charge of Commander Robertson, R.N., were landed after the departure of the Bristol train ; the letters will be sorted in Plymouth, and sent on by the London mail train at 6.40 P.m. Beside mails from the Cape, Sierra Leone, St. Vin cent, and the Gambia, there are bags from her Ma jesty's ships Flying Fish, Niger, Sampson, Archer, Prometheus, Penelope, Harlequin, Alecto, Castor, Dover, Sidon, Retribution, Birkenhead, and Cyclops. The Hellespont left Plymouth on the 15th of June, and arrived at the Cape on the 24th of July, at 6 A.M., having :nada the passage in 38 days. Toe home ward pAssage occupied 40 days. She did not require coal at Sierra Leone, but it is said was detained there 43 hours for the Governor to write dispatches. In consequence of this detention she did not reach St. Vincent until after the arrival of the Tay, when both vessels having to coal at the same time, each lost 18 hours through the limited staff a Ithe island. A passenger says the Hellespont lost 61 hours through the Governor of Sierra Leone, whose want of dispatch is contrasted strongly with the alacrity of the colonial officer at the Cape, who delayed the steamer only two hours after the receipt of important papers from the Commander-in-Chief. (PROM A CORRESPONDENT.) CAPE TOWN, Ave. 1. The most important events that have marked the progress of the past month are, on the whole, of 3 very unfavourable nature. A combined A ma t o l as , attack on the thole suc cessful, has driven the enemy i n t o th e colony, where they have committed the most frightful ravages. Whole districts have been laid completely waste. A short summary of the military operations and other intelligence from the seat of war, since the de parture of the last steamer, will be found below. The native levies, whose term of service has ex pired, have declined to remain longer in the field,have been disbanded. This reduces the force in Kafisland by upwards of 1,500 men. Orders have been issued for raising a force of 1090 volunteers, but it is very doubtful whether anytling like that number will be obtained. The cheering intelligence of reinforcements from .England, now hourly expected, has had a most bele heial effect in raising the spirits of those in the ex posed districts, as well as the forces in the field. Her Majesty's steamer Hermes started for East London on the 25th ult, whence she proceeds to oe Mauritius for her Majesty's 12th Regiment, wilco services have been placed at the disposal of the Com mander-in-Chief. Her Majesty's steamer Rhadamanthus arrived of the 4th ult., after a long passage of nearly three months, with stores, ammunition, and 100,000/, it specie. From the Orange River sovereignty the intelli gence is important, and of a nature calculated to cause considerable alarm. Major Warden, the British Resident, in endeavouring to quell some dieturbences between the native chiefs has suffered a repulse. In an action on the 30th of June the British troops were forced to retire, and Moroko, our ally, is stated to have lost upwards of 130 men. Major Warden was preparing for a combined movement, at the head of 3,000 men, against the enemy, on the 20th ult.; but all the regular force at his disposal does not exceed 170 men, principally of the 45 th Regiment and Cape Corps. From Natal the news up to the 26th ult. is, how ever, favourable. The colony was perfectly quiet ; the Zooloo contingent had been disbanded, and the natives were returning to their work. A small force of volunteers had been raised , an d was waiting orders from Sir Harry Smith. The collection of the native taxes was going on without the least interruption. FRONTIER AFFAIRS. Tile latest intelligence from the seat of war on the departure of the last mail we e, that Sir H. Smith was preparing for a combined movement of the two divisions of the army, under General S]incriet a n d Colonel Mackinnon, against the enemy in the Ama tolas. This was carried into effe ct on the 2.6i1e of June; their operations continued until the 30th, and were attended with signal success. 2,200 head of cattle fell into the hands of the troops, and the enemy was driven with considerable loss from one of hi s strongest positions. The casualtie s on oar side were, one sergeant and eight rank and file lolled. Lieut. Bruce, 74th Highlanders ; Captain Melville, of th e levies, and 17 rank and file wounded (2 mortally). O n the 21 General Somerset continued his operations in th e Amatolas, and succeeded in driving the enemy from some of his favourite fastnes'es. Sir Harry, however, warned the colonists in the general order that a result of this successful movement might be the dispersion of the defeated Kafirs in small marauding parties with in the colony, where they become , most formidabl e , and fearfully has his Excellency s prediction been verified, for although General Somerset was directed immediately to establish posts along the line of the exposed districts to prevent the incursion, the ravages they committed before this could be done, owin g to the small force at his disposal, have ,been frigh t f u l. It appears that Macom o, with the Refits and rebel Z Hottentots who were routed out of the Aenatolas c r o ssed the upper "sprints" of the Konap, and th eac p rec ipitated themselves on the colony ; and befor e they could' e checked by a sufficient force th e pro perty swept off and destroyed was immense. It is stated that the whole of the fine tract of country watered by the Barisans, the Kega, the Konap, and the hat rivers is devastated ; the dwellings of the inha bitants are laid in ashes, while not less, it is affirmed, than 20,000 Merino sheep, 3,000 head of cattle, and 300 horses have been swept away by the enemy 5 8 5 7 5 5 5 5 5 5 3 5 3 5 2 5 2 5 0 EvENING I sEpTEMB2ER l O, it3bi• within the last six weeks. On the 19th Colonel Mitchell's patrol returned to King William's Town, after nine days continued operations in the Fish River bush, during which he dislodged several parties of stock Kafirs, destroyed a Hottentot camp, and captured 80 head of cattle and several horses. His loss was, two of the 6th Regiment killed, and two wounded. The last frontier post brought intelligence from head-quarters to the 19th, and Graham's Town to tha 22d July; from the fo - inilarthe newslsbf a fovourable nature. Colonel Eyre bad returned that evening with his patrol of 700 men, bringing in 224 head of cattle and 14 horses; but had no fighting. Some Kifir women, whom he took prisoners, confirm the report of the alarm of the Gaikas at the combined movement in the Amatolas; they state that many of them are crossing the Kei in small parties, and that Sandilli himself had a very narrow escApe from falling into the hands of the troops during these operations. As the express left, information was received that Colonel Napier, who bad gene out at the same time in com mand of 200 cavalry, had captured 280 head of cattle. In all the actions the Cqoe Mounted Rifles have be haved most gallantly. Kali has made no movement on the aggressive as yet ; very little is indeed known about him. Advices from General Somerset's division are up to the 20th. They confirm previous accounts of the deplorable state of the country and the ravages com mitted by the enemy, who have penetrated the colony as far as the Quagga Flats, on the other side of Port Elizabeth. Judicious measures were, however, being takPri to check their progress. Camps were former at Haddon and the Fish River Rand, whence the most active patrols were sent out to scour the country and protect the farmers, who were called upon to return to their farms and assist the troops in checking the encroachments of the enemy. A report that the force under General Somerset would be called away to join Sir Harry in another movement towards the Amatolas had caused great alarm. From Alice information has reached of a smart contest between the Fingoes and liafirs, who had attempted to carry off the cattle, in which the latter were gallantly and successfully repulsed. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals, A. Melvin (father of the gallant Lieutenant Melvin, 91st Regi ment, who fell in the early part of the war), has assumed the duties of principal medical officer in the room of Dr. Hall, who has been ordered to Bombay. Captain E. Wellesley, 73d Foot, is appointed Deputy- Assistant Quartermaster-General attached to head quarters. Major Anstruther, C. 8., of the Madras Army (who was confined in a cage by the Chinese while a prisoner during that war), having volunteered his services to the Commander-in-Chief, has joined the army in the field. The Duke of Wellington having disapproved the appointment of Royal Engi neer officers to the general staff, Lieutenants Jessie and Stokes, who have been acting as Deputy- Assistant Quartermaster-Generals, will join their corps from the Ist inst. The Cremona arrived on the 19th ult. with the women, children, and baggage of the 74th Highlanders from Gibraltar. This regiment, under Colonel Fordyce, is attached to General Somer set's division. Its discipline and bravery have been most conspicuous. perfectly stripped of their clothing, and took them bt ek to Leeu we Fontein. The n ex t day in coining forward to Gralvin's Town they discovered a little further down the road Mr. Curley nod the other min, and they also found the wounded min who had sc , 2reted himself. These they brought on to Fort Brown. 'ft:ere they further ascertained that a simi lar catastrophe had befallen a patrol sent out to look after some stolen cattle. Six of the men by some chance hid been separated from the rest, when they were suddenly attacked, four of them killed on the s pot, one wounded and supposed to have been also Li'led, and the sixth man still missing. The post from Kefirland, yesterday, brcught no in telligence of importance. We learn this morning thixt no s ooner did the news of the unfortunate event raßch Fort Beaufort, than an express was sent off to Craneral Somerset, at Fort Hare, Nviqi the tidings. He nnmediately ordered out 200 men with strong ii,jl/71C• ti ons to track out the party of ruffians, and to remain in the bush until they found and destroyed, or dis paxsed them. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Rhadamanthus was to have relieved the Dee, but owing to her inefficiency for this service, the latter vessel will be retained on this station for the present. Her Majesty's steamer Hermes has taken in stores in order to proceed to Mauritius for troops, if required. The Tanjore freight ship arrived in Simon's Bay on the 28th ult., from England, with Government provisions, &c. Her Majesty's steamer Castor, Commodore Wyville, and the Rhadaman thus are the only two vessels-of-war in the bay. Her Majesty's steamer Dee left Algoa Bay on the 21st ult., for East London; she brings back the rest of the levies. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. CAPE TOWN, AUG. 1, 11 A.M. The frontier mail arrived early this morning. The dates are from Graham's Town, July 26, and from head-quarters up to the 23d. A patrol under command of Colonel Michell had returned that day without booty, nearly all the Kafir cattle, as we►l as those taken from the colony, having been driven to a distance; a patrol under Colonel Eyre had not yet returned. The news from Krell is pacific. Two messengers had arrived at King William's Town, with a message from him to the Governor. The substance is stated to be a desire for peace, a profession of fidelity towards the British Government, and, as a proof, a request that the British Resident may be sent back in order to be the medium of future communication. Sandilli, it is said, contemplates a removal with his people to beyond the Kye. He had sent messengers to Pato, who had gone to Fort Murray to receive their communication. What the substance was is not known. The next intelligence is very distressing ; another attack has been made on the fron! 'ler mail near L?euwe Foatein, between Graham's Town and Fort Beaufort, by the Hottentots. The party (among whom were two respectable tradesmen of the latter town, who availed themselves of the return of the post) were fired on ; six were killed and one wounded, the man who brought the intelligence alone escaping. On the same day a party of tht European levy, in pursuit of some cattle, met with a severe repulse from the same enemy, five of the levy being killed. General Somerset had sent out a strong force in pursuit. From Port Elizabeth information had been received of the great destruction of property in the Zuurberg and Oliphant's Hoek. It is said that the line of Sunday's River, if not that of the Zwaart-kops also, is contested by the enemy. (From the supplement to% the Cape Town Mail of Aug. 1.) Cape Town Mail Office, Friday, Aug. 1., 11 A.M. The post which has just arrived from the frontier brings additional intelligence of a painful and dis heartening character. The Kafirs and rebel Hotten tots were spreading themselves in large parties over the country, from Sunday's River to the Amatolas, slaying, pillaging, and burning in all directions. Some atrocious murders of frontier colonists had been committed by the Hottentot banditti. In British Kaffraria there was comparativ'e peace. The patrols sent out from King William's Town en countered few enemies, and obtained no booty, the cattle of the Kafirs having been driven to a distance. The accounts of the irruption of the Kafirs into the Zuurberg are confirmed. A great number of cattle and horses had been swept off from the neigh bourhood of the Sunday's River, and numerous fires had been observed in the direction of the great Zuur berg and towards Oliphant's Hock. Two engage ments had taken place (as mentioned in yeaterday's paper). in which five of the Ke.firs were killed, and three of the colonists were wounded. The following letter and extracts comprise all the important intelligence received by this post : (FROM OUR CORRESFONDENT.) GRAHAM'S TOWN, JULY 26. The Cape Town post, which was due here at noon on Monday, did not arrive until late on Wednesday evening, and the letters consequently were not deli vered until Thursday morning. The post riders brought information that the Addo Bush seemed to be 'Lill of the enemy, as numberless spoors were ob served crossing the road at various points. They tlso reported that Mr. Pullen, of Uitenhage, had last all his valuable stud of horses, reckoned to be the bnt in the eastern province. Mr.i Pullen himself, Ahile out with a party in search of some stolen cattle, had received several wounds from musket shots. Much excitement and speculation were occasioned by the character: and tenor of the dispatches received frog England, as notified in the supplements to the several Cape Town papers. Some people are so san guine as to believe that the Governor will imme diatey act upon them, and that the Council, as now constituted by authority, will be forthwith summond to melt, and that the first meeting will be held in Grahan's Town. Of course there is a diversity of opinior on the subject, but we believe the general feeling in this place is in favour of such a measure being adopted. It is evident that something is requi site to L done, in order that the whole public busi ness of fie colony may not thus remain for an indefi nite period in abeyance. Yesterday evening a party arrived in town under commandof Lieutenant Thackeray, of the 74th Regi ment, which officer brought the following intel ligence usual post to Fort Hare, consisting of the man with the mail-bags, and an escort of eight or ten mounted burghers, left Graham's Town on Wed nesday moiling, about nine o'clock : they were ac companied 5y Mr. S. P. Impey, and Mr. Curley, both residents in Fort Beaufort, and who, having been some days in town on business, were returning to their homes, wives, and families. They were both active young men, from 23 to 25 years of age, who had been marriNi and settled within the last two or three years. The party reached Fort Brown in safety, but between Fort Brown and Leeuwe Fontein while rising the hill from the Koonap, and while to tally unsuspicious of danger they were fired upon by a large party of Hottentots, who were ambushed by the side of the road. Mr. Impey, Mr. Curley, and three of the escort, were shot dead on the spot, not having the opportunity of even returning the fire of their cowardiy assitilants. Other three of the escort were wounded, one of whom secreted himself in the bush; the man in charge of the bags, who was the only unhurt person of the party, and two of the wounded men, made their way to Leeuwe Fontein, where they reported what had taken place. The enem y were stated to be at least 200 in number, all Hottentots, with the exception of two Kafirs, and they extended along the line of road for a distance of 200 cards. Lieutenant Thackwray and about 25 men went to search for the bodies the same night. They found Mr. Impey and two of the escort on the road, LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (From the Graham's nwn Journal, July 26.) 'lice intelligence frLan King William's Town is to Cif. 231 inst., on the afternoon of which day a patrol, under the command of Colonel Michell, returned to quarters. They had been to the Keiskarnma, but came back without booty, nearly all the Kafir cattle, it is said, with a great many swept off from the co -I,my, having been driven to a distance, er pl ace d f or time among the herds of the friendly Kafirs. On the return of the p , :trol, the rear was attacked by a. strong party of Ksfirs under the Chief Seyolo, but these were soon repulsed, without loss on our side. The accounts state that the Fingees attached to Colonel Michell called out to the enemy to know if they had had enough, to which Seyolo replied, "that he had lost his country and his cattle, and did not desire peace, and if peace were attained, the Governor roust make it himself." A petrol under Colonel Eyre had been out since Monday, but not having returned no account is given of its movements. The news from Kreli's country is of a pacific character. Two messengers from the Chief Kreli arrived at King William's Town, on the evening of the 231, with a communication to the Governor, purporting that the Chief was now sensible of having committed a great error, and is willing to make every reparation in his power, and be responsible for any mischief which may have been done in his country. That he will main tain peace in his country so long as the war may con tinue here, and act with fidelity towards the colony under the eye of the British Resident, who he re quests may be recalled to act as his future medium of communication. This is said to be the substance of the communication made to the Governor, whose answer had not been given at the date of the com munication. The accounts further state that messengers from Sandilli had arrived at the kraal of the Chief Pato, who had been sent for from Fort Murray to receive their communication. This is suppc3od to have some reference to terms of peace, but nothing beyond sup position is stated in the accounts transmitted. It is added that Sandi is greatly dfjected, and contem plates removing, with all his people, to the unoccupied country beyond the liye. Information has come in from General Somerset's CRialp to yesterday. The General had heard of the fatal affair on the Koonap hill, and had instantly de- Uched 100 men of the 74th Regiment, 30 of the European Levy, and a detachment of the Cape Mounted Rifles, under Lieutenant Green, the whole under the command of Captain --, 74th Regiment, to proceed to the scene of the murder, and to follow the banditti wherever they may pursue their murder ous career. The following has also come to hand by the same opportunity . " Yellow Wood Camp, July 25. " The Kafirs are very numerous about here, but they manage to escape most of our patrols !—although both men and horses are done up with hard work. The waggons from Ainslie that came here with sup plies, when returning were attacked between Manca zana post and T. Webster's farm in the drift, and although escorted by 25 Fingoes and 8 Europeans, the combined force of Hottentots and Kafirs attacked them so fiercely that they succeeded in capturing the waggons and oxen and all they contained, including seven guns, 700 rounds of ball cartridge, blankets, &c., and killed one Fingo and wounded the two Sut tons (father and son). Seven of the enemy fell, and were left on the ground." The following are the names of the persons killed and wounded in the affair at the Koonap Impey and Curley, of Fort Beau fort ; Messrs. Mortimer, B. Lang, and Clarke, of Alice Levy. Wounded—Sergeant Bradshaw and Private Nelson, of Alice Levy. Missing—Privates White and Redington, of Alice Levy. Private Brewer escaped unhue. Of the Fort Brown party the following were killed Sergeant Rosenbloo, Corporal Griffiths, Privates M'Cluire and M`Veety, of Alice Levy. Missing—Private M. Hoare, cf Alice Ltvy. The following cornet - milk:Olen (the latest from Beaufort) gives a more satisfactory statement of the conditiou of affairs there, subsequent to the fatal rencontre on the 25th of July:— "CAPE TOWN, AUG. 1. " TETE PRAAMBERG KAFIKS—BEAUFORT. " A letter has been received from the Rev. Mr. Albiet, missionary of the Rhenish Society at Schiel fontein, in the Beaufort district, calculated in some degreo b allay the apprehensions entertained respect ing that part of the colony. Mr. Albeit writes from Victoria (Beaufort), on the 23d of July Some time ago it was reported that a great many strange Kafirs and Hottentots of the Kat River were collected in the Praambergen. Some thefts by Kafirs were reported, and some expressions of the Kafirs gave cause to fear that war would break out here. The Civil Commissioner went to the Praamberg, and on his way called at Schielfontein, leaving word for me to follow him. Oa Monday morning I was at the camp at the foot of the Praamberg, where about 100 farmers were assembled. I proposed to go alone into the mountain with Daniel, my eider, who had accom panied me. I wished also to have a witness on the part of the farmers with me, and the field cornet was chosen for that purpose. In consequence of our proposals, the Kafirs came out of the mountains with out arms. Two thieves were apprehended, and will be sent to Beaufort this day. The Hottentots were obliged to take masters. This affair is consequently settled in peace. Not a gun was fired ; the only smoke seen was that of my pipe. Everybody is re turned home, and I leave for Schielfontein to- morrow.'" WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH OUR CONVICTS ? ~~---- LETTErciii. TO THE BIAS? la/N.SM GEORGE GRFY, BART., M.P., &3. &c. &c. Sir,—lt has been often asked, How does it happen that all the plans of the Colonial-office have so *ignally failed, and that at this moment, as far as the transportation system operates, the reclamation of the convict i 3 mare hopeless than at cny former period, and crime increasing to an enormous extent ; for n7isuredly such plans have included every variety of trea 4 menr, from that which bordered upon excessive cruelty to that whose fault was of an oppo s it e chlracter. Of the effict produced by the plan of cruel treat ment, the Cnief Justice of New South Wales told the Trawportation Committee, "That he would not h . .sitate to prefer death under any form that it could be presented to him, rather than such a state of en dursnce as thc..t of the convict in Norfolk Island." Nor were the efTi;ct3 produced by a lenient plan of a better description, for, after haviug been in opera tion some y ears, Mr. Stewart, who war directed to report up on th e condition of the conv i cts in Norfolk Isldnd in 184 G, represents "the state of crime there as bet: - g of tale most atrocious character, and the in subordination of the men as very excessive." Upon this Lord Grey directed natamires should be taken to break up the establishment with the least possible delay. But Archbishop Whately's proposition shows most clearly why it. is that all the plans have so utterly failed ; it is because the C3loniai-offic e has always made the interests of the colony, through the medium of the settler, the primary object. Thus we have the deliberate opinion of one of the foremost men of the present day fully confirmed by the results of expe rience. Surely such a coincidence must to every rational mind be conclusive as to the necessity of a change. . Now it is clear there are only two modes of effect ing a change of the present system—either to abolish the punishment of transportation, or to continue it in a totally different manner from any yet practised ; there is no third course worthy the attention of a statesman, or a philanthropist, and any different manner of continuing transportation can only ac complish the desired effect by strictly adhering to the principle laid down by the Archbishop; and caring nothing for the colony, nothing for the settler, except as such interests must be incidentally promoted, by an effectual punishment of the convict, giving the best prospect of his reclamation from vice. Such was the object of the plan which last year I submitted for your consideration, believing that you, who have already effected so great and salutary a change in the treatment and in the condition of the convict in this country, would, although the subject was not in your department, exert yourself to pre vent your praiseworthy exertions being rendered nearly useless, by handing over the half-reformed convict to the tender mercies of the Colonial-office, to be treated as formerly, contrazy to every sound principle as deducible from theory— from logic—and from exp er i ence , I observed in my former letter that my plan had this material distinction from the probation system devised and carried out by Lord Stanley and Sir J. Graham, inasmuch as they sent the convicts to an old colony, whereas I proposed that they should be trams ported to a new one; and I submit to 3-our judgment that this distinction alone would be quite sufficient to account for the failure of th e ir plan, and to h o p e f or success from the adoption of mine. But as two of the most eminent statesmen of the present day entrusted with the responsibilities of office devised and carried into effect a plan for the reclama tion of convicts in the colonies, surely it must be con ceded that there cannot be anything very absurd or ridiculous in the principle of such plan ; and when it Was found to produce such lamentable effects a wise man and a fair man would have endeavoured in the first place to ascertain the cause of failure. And the slightest examination would have convinced even the Colonial-office that the failure of the plan could most easily be accounted for, without imputing the slightest blame to the principle. I think the at tempt to carry it out in an old colony instead of a new one is in itself a sufficient cause, but beyond this nothing can be more certain than that the plan never bad a fair trial ; and that, if the authorities in the colony had resolved that it should fail, they could not pos sibly have adopted plans more certain to produce that effect, for the best plan must fail unless carried out by faithful agents. Sir W. Denison's statement is decisive upon the point as to the manner the authorities in the colony carried out Lord Stanley's plan. He says, " The general complaint of the inefficiency of the officers at the different convict stations applies in its full force to those to whom the religious instruction of the convict is entrusted." Can it be necessary to say a single ad ditional word to prove that the failure of his Lord ship's plan was entirely owiug to the manner in which is was attempted to carry it out, and did not proceed from the phn itself? Why ! it is precisely the Male plan which you have carried out with such marked benefit at the Island of Portland.= What earthly reason can exist why that which has been effected at Portland cannot be equally well carried out in the colonies ? Certainly, it would not be reasonable to expect that talent such as yours, or Lord John Russell's, or Sir James Graham's should be found in the colonies ; neither is it necessary, be cause in your hands ought still to remain the adminis trative authority; and all that is requisite is zeal and fidelity to carry out your plans. I cannot conceive that anything short of imperious necessity would induce any man of sound judgment to propose that gangs of convicts, to the number of 30,000 or 40,000,* should be distributed throughout these realms, and then let loose upon society, after the expiration of their respective sentences, in a country where there is little or no employment for them, and still lass desire to take them into service. I have the honour to remain, &c., RIGBY WASON. Corwar, Sept. 1, 1851. * The number now under sentence in the colonies. BALLOON DESCENT AT A LUNATIC ASYLUM.— The veteran Green, having made his 485th ascent from Vauxhall-gardens in the Nassau balloon on Monday evening accompanied by a party of gentlemen, effected a safe descent on the lawn in front of the Surrey County Lunatic Asylum. Many of the patients, who were enjoying their evening, amusements immediately assisted him in securing the bal loon, and rendering him the required assistance. It being the intention of the company, which consisted of a party of distinguished military officers, again to embark at dawn of day on an aerial voyage, the descent was accomplished with scarcely any loss of gas. Balloon ascents being now of so frequent occurrence they scarcely deserve any notice in a public journal, but it is with much pleasure that we record this, being a practical illustration of the great improvement which n has n an e views, been effected nby the y Dr.treatment C n o o 1 1 a y fi , nl a if e n t d et ba o e t p h i en e followingrrsssaonnes in this his country. Here a large quantity f imme diately rendered the required assistance; and, although the extensive grounds soon became visited by neighbours from all directions, with whom they mixed, they cheerfully re turned to the wards of the building, without any mischievous excitement from the event. Mr. Green and his friends hav ing been received and made welcome by Dr. Diamond, they again ascended early in the morning, Mr. Green observing, it had never been his lot to alight in a more suitable or cheerful spot ; his companions, some of whom had travelled much in foreign countries, expressing in very strong lan guage the "immense humanity " now here displayed in the treatment of lunatics compared to similar establishments they had visited. THE NEW PRINCIPLE OF ASCERTAINING VITALITY. —Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. Bedford, the coroner in the Board-room of St. James's Workhouse, on the body of a male child. The circumstances of this case would scarcely be worth reporting but for the new light shown by the surgeon as to the probable existence of a child, and the inquiry altogether was of a most interesting character. On Friday night a lad was going through Golden-square, when a child called to him that there was a bundle by the side of the railings. When he took it up he saw the body of a take child, and took it to the workhouse, in case life should i exist, b b e u t Station-housea s the chil child w i a n s dead vin e back in the usual way.

ACCIDENT ON TUE BUCKINGHAMSHIRE RAILWAY.—The inquest on the bodies of the persons who were killed in consequence of this accident was yesterday resumed at Bicester. The engine -driver underwent a long examination, as did Mr. M'Connell, the superintendent of the Locomotive Department of the North-Western Railway - - They both gave it as their opinion that the accident wa: occasioned by some di sp l acement taking place in the points after the locomoti ve h a d passed over them, and beforeai the carriages had artived on them. The inquest was again ad journed. SHOOTING AT A RAILWAY DIAIN.—The seven o'clock train from Paddington, on passing the Roebuck Inn, Oxf , rd-road, on Tuesday evening last, was maliciously shot at by some party unknown.

A NEW APPLICATION Or TIIE SCREW -PROPELLER. —A new screw-steamer, called the Frankfort, has lately ar rived at Liverpool, having a novel applicationmof of the screw. She belongs to Mr. Chappel, of the 0 Vianna, Jones, and Co., of Liverpool, and is int en d e d t trade from this place to Genoa, Leghorn, Naples, and Sicily The Frank fort is about 700 tons burden, built of iron, ss ' :ith engines of 100 horse-power. The screw is placed abaft the rudder, out side of all, instead of between the rudder and the ship, as heretofore, and this is the principle of the new application. The rudder is divided into two parts, connected by a ring, through which the shaft is carried to the screw outside of a second sternpost, acting freely in solid water, and doing away, at the same time, with that unpleasant vibratien so charac teristic of all steamers, both paddle-wheel and screw. Daring the trial-trip on Thursday last she performed to the admira tion of her passengers, and fully bore out all that the paten tee promised ; for, although only of 100 horse-power, she steamed 11 knots against a headwind, going through the water with the easy motion of a sailing vessel, and so per fectly under control that she could be brought round almost within her own length. Besides these advantages, the screw is of a very high pitch, enabling her to sail several knots faster with a fair wind, without the screw being a drag. Th e patentee is Mr. John Beattie, of Liverpool. STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, SEPT. 9.—ln cloth we have had rather loss animation, but though manu facturers have in some cases manifested a diposition to do business on easier terms, generally speaking prices aro rather Brun. no announcement on the Exchange that a manufacturer at B l a ckburn had been obli g ed to suspend, and that a house at Halifax was in difficulties, created some uneasiness, though it is believed that the liabilities are not heavy in either case. The house at Blackburn (Abbott's) is said to owe 12,0001., and the chief creditor is a spinner at Bolton. In yarns spinners were disposed to yield a fraction in price. Both mule and water twist wer e bought rather freely on easier terms, with one excep tion, 30's water—which is in request for Russia, and also for the East Indies, and commanded full prices. Among Russian agents there is a rumour which may hereafter be traced to a reliable source, that the Czar is disposed to re move the heavy duties at present levied on yarns and manufactures of this country, and that so imminent is the end of protection among Russian manufacturers that they have already begun to set their houses in order by lightening their responsibilities. CoNFY.AGRATION AT LORD HARRY VANE'S, AT EWIIURST. On Sunday night a terrible conflagration broke out at New House Farm, Ewhurst, the property of, and occupied by, Lord Harry Vane. It appears thtahnteeassrt thewormae P c hildren of Irish labourers, who were encamped remises obtained lucifer-matches and went into yard. By accident they fired the straw, which of peas communicated w ith the farm buildings. A barn, with thirty loads in the lis.ulin, half of which were white, and a lodge,were burnt down. Great praise is due to the labourers in assisting, otherwise a peastack, and a beanstack, and haystack, which stood within a few feet of the barn, must have been burnt down. We have not yet learned whether the property was immured. '
