DUELLING EXTRAORDINARY.—TWO foolish clerks, named Tilt and Romford, quarrelled respecting a young lady, to whom they were both attached, and a challenge was the result. A meeting was arranged to take place at nine o'clock on Saturday evening,r, in a field near Highgate Ceme tery. At th e hour appointed, one of the parties did not ap pear, and after waiting some time, his second became so an noyed at his cowardice, and at the sneers of the other parties, that he declared himself insulted, and demanded satisfaction. Of course, a man bearing so chivalrous a name as Tilt could not refuse a challenge. The paces were duly measured, and s hots interchanged. Tilt's bullet grazed the cheek of the valorous second, while Tilt's " four-and-nine" was turned into a " ventilator,' by the bullet of his antagonist popping crown, i e it n h a determinatio n t o ki c k Rumford, when they caught him, popping vowed w o e ut e o t e n r theal friend ship other from and hands, homook d n Highgat e -hill t o H ern e-bay, and so parted. n side u . s f t Tr below e eacdhu eol other, h h i se e t t Irsv D EST RUCTION OF A COTTON MILL BY FIRE. — On Friday night last, b etween 11 and 12 o'clock, an alarmin g fire broke out at a mill at Hurst. The total loss is estimated at between 7,0001. and 8,0001., the whole of which sum will be covered by insurances. The premi , es were occupied by Mr. L. Cooke and Mr. Coop er, cotton manufacturers; and the cellar was occupied by Mr. H e gg inbottom, bobbin turner. —Alaticheger Guardian, THE hat, until some better plan could be devised for the pro tection of electors, he was favourable to that system w hiell was alrea.ly established in many countries. But b e w as no new convert. Fourteen or fifeen years ago 1,-" ee had had considerable experience in elections; and it was no uncommon thing at that due to hear from an elector that though he wished to vote on the liberal side, he dared not. Recollecting this, and knowing ) , moreover, that the same things bad happened within the last three weeks, he could not, as an honest man and faithful repre tentative, abstain from stating on this, the first occasion which he had addressed the House, that it was abso lutely necessary to shelter a man in the exercise of the right of election confereed on him by the Consti !riot). It was worse than trifling with the population of —l ' Country to put into their hands the power to elect representatives, and deny them the means of using it i ndepend ent l y .—(h ear , hear.) The petition to which he had already referred stated that many electors had been In timidated from giving their votes by threats of ruin to t heir families. And yet these electors had a duty to p e rform. a They were trustees for those who had no votes. Ile therefore ventured to add his voice to those of more impertent Members who had addressed them, and urged the Noble Lord to grant reform in time, and not wait till it was forced upon him. The ballot was used in clubs and other private institutions with the view of pre-- 'renting anger and ill-will amongst the members; and if that were necessary in such cases. how much more neces -11141 Was it amongst the constituencies of the country , ril e any of whom were often driven to the serious ahem e ",re, of either fa c i ng u tter ruin or sacrificing their prin c•P'es? He would, therefore, urge upon her Majesty's Government that when next !sear they came before the public with their promised Reform Bill, the measure Should be a generous one, and not given grudingly; for if reforms were doled out little by little, they would not be thanked for it and as soon as the people had got that they Would try t o obtain more.—(Cheers, and "Divide.") n everal minutes elapsing and no Hon.

SCULLY rose and proposed the following reso eii°fl :—" That in order to lighten the severe pressure poor -rate s in Ireland it is expedient to facilitate by e ery means th e emp l oyment o f the inmates of work , b is i uses in reproductive labour, so as to make these este- Ih meuts as far as possible, self-supporting; and that ala the duty of the Poor•law Commissioners to see so li v e a sirable an object fully carried out."

O'FLAHERTYseconded the motion. He had seen an vantages of the self-supporting system in his own at " ai where, in the course of eleven months, they had I ) ted a saving of 1,0001. ki ?tr ay. SOMERVILLE was fully alive to the import d 46 of the subject; but the Hon. Gentleman who intro trtliaceld the motion had d confounded the question of indus iootiest!mPloyment with that of productive labour. Those acm e , were, however, very distinct, and though the th e °r-l aw Commissioners in Ireland were not opposed to taiaraeouragement of a self-supporting system of indus nee i ' l laPloyment in workhouses, they did not, however, a ou rl i `euance a system of productive employment which e llat tl convert poor-houses into manufactories, so as to th„ute the produce of pauper labour to be brought into freearket, to compete with articles the produce of the kt ta ilaabourer. Suppose, for instance, a farm were S eao c ed to a workhouse, and they brought its produce the the market, they could not only compete with, but tie could undersell, the farmer, and thus in a short th e , t ueY would reduce the farmer to the condition of lita t r l iPer. The guardians of the poor, in many in tecer,-efs, had availed themselves of the provisions of a ho ut :" 'let to attach 25 acriik of land to the union work %tees for the employmeM of pauper boys, and the se raissioners had in no instance opposed that system. t, th e th oughte it better to leave the matter in the hands of reo do ° l zusission e r s , and he must, therefore, oppose the Itir, k r.

As it would not eo ° 4ecessary to feed paupers upon them, they would, of ea ur se, be sold in the market; and there would thus be tear trease of commodities thrown into the cauliflower eo,,•'t. The result of that would be that they must in ef "'neatly go and buy potatoes; and the same process ' e nding the potatoes in their turn into the potato marketfri ends would also occur.—(Hear, hear.)

HAMILTON said that recent changes had Irela n d e means of increasing the number of poor in ri et „ , and he saw great advantages not so much in the eisti o a result of their labour as in the training and edu et w 4 Which it gave to the youth within the workhouse. t o t‘ t ts on that ground he hoped the House would agree e ast g k a motion.

Nobody would i choge ct caulitimera for Ntottmos ond d.?oreeiug ,that attempt to justify that system of public works in Ireland which had formerly been adopted, except as a temparory means of savin , human life. He was sorry to see the distress and disease in that country, but it must be re collected from the large loans so liberally granted, that Government had done all it could to mitigate those evils, although they might not have been completely success ful in saving human life. But he contended in what had been done was to be found the complete justification of Government. Had the Government not so liberally sup plied loans of money, there could hardly be any doubt that the sacrifice of human life would have been much greater than took Alice. If they were simply to say that the Poor-law Commhsioners had done right, it would be proper to give the approbatio❑ of the House. But if it was intended to change the existing system, in order, as the resolution stated, to make the workhouses self-sup porting, he warned the House against embarking in so fatal a project. How was this to be accomplished? Had not the Government been providing workhouse accom modation as far as possible, in order to avoid giving out door relief? It was thereby intended to make out-door relief so distasteful as that few would be inclined to apply for it. This was a sound principle and ought not to be lost sight of. In the workhouse the food and lodging were better than the labourer could generally obtain by his labour. But if, in addition, you found him labour, you injured the value of the workhouse test, and you would do nothing but mischief. The great object of the work house test was to prevent parties from throwing them selves on the workhouse relief when they could maintai❑ themselves out of the workhouse. But this would not be done if the Hon. Member's proposition was acted upon. Hon. Members connected with Ireland might take advantage of English experience and avoid the inconve nience and danger of making the workhouse too com fortable. He was satisfied that no temporary reduction of rates would compensate for evils that would be in flicted on the ratepayer and on the labourers by adopt ing a system that had been found to work so mis chievously in England—namely, that of injuring the stringency of the principles of the workhouse test. His recommendation was to make labour in the workhouse as distasteful as possible, and to discourage application for workhouse relief unless as a last resource, and he considered that the safety of property in Ireland consisted in maintaining the stringency of the workhouse test. If this principle was departed from, Hon. Members might be sure they would have introduced a system, the effects of which they would rue to the end of their days. Mr. SCULLY said he was not against the workhouse test. His principle was, that it was safer to give labour in the workhouse than to keep paupers in the workhouse without labour. Mr. HENLEY said the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary for Ireland had treated the question differently from the Right Hon. G. ntleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He was for maintaining the workhouse test, but he was at a loss to conceive how giving labour in the workhouse was to break down the workhouse test. He could not understand the confusion of terms by which this was sought to be established. He could not understand the arguments of the Hon. Member for Westbury. Was not the labour given on the relief works in Ireland out-door relief ?—(Hear, hear.) The House was placed in a difficulty, because the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer met the case by asserting the motion was intended to break down the workhouse test. He could not perceive that such was the object, or would be the effect, of the motion. He should be opposed as much as any one to such a result, for he fully appreciated the value of the workhouse test. With respect to relief for Ireland, he thought G,i vernment were hardly pressed on that subject. In 1846 no objection was made by Irish Members to the mode of relief ; they only thought that it would not be co-ex tensive with the calamity which had overtaken that country. It was hardly just to complain now of what had been done. Mr. LABOUCHERE said every Hon. Gentleman had been anxious to explain away the nature and character of the motion. If the House believed that the Poor-law Commissioners had acted judiciously, it would be dan gerous to agree to a resolution which affirmed a prin ciple different to that which had hitherto been acted upon by those Commissioners. If the principle of the workhouse test was to be retained, well and good; but if the Poor-law Commissioners were to consider how pau pers were to be set to work in the workhouse, he thought thereby that the stringency of the workhouse test would be very materially attacked. If productive labour was encouraged in workhouses, his opinion was Ireland would very soon suffer to a very serious extent, and would gain no substantial advantage for the temporary diminution that might occur in the rates. He thought the House was not warranted in affirming the resolution of the lion. Member, which went to injure the stringency of the workhouse test, and to introduce productive la bour into the workhouse. Reference had been made to those relief measures by which Government endeavoured to mitigate—for they could only hope to mitigate—the fearful calamity which fell on Ireland. Ho had never underrated the force of the heavy dispensation of Provi dence in blasting the growth of the potato; but he must say he did see with pain the story told to Ireland, that the diminished numbers of the Irish people was to be referred to want of food which Government could have supplied. With regard to the measures Laken by Go vernment for the relief of the calamity, it was far easier to criticise them now that the time had gone by, than it was to devise suitable measures when the calamity was in full operation. Sir D. NORREYS was understood to express him self as opposed to the terms of the motion, as, from what had previously occurred, it was liable to misin terpretation. Mr. SCULLY replied. The House divided, when there apperred— For the motion ... ... 42 Against it Majority ... ... —22 Mr. FRE WEN moved for a co py o f a letter, dated the 29th day of May, 1851, addressed to th e Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, by Dr. D B. Reid, and also the protest acc om p any i ng it, in refe: rence to proceedings connected with ;he new Houses of Parliament. The motion was agreed to. Mr. CLEMENTS moved for a copy of all the cor respondence which had taken place between the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury and the Com missioners for administering the laws for the relief of the poor in Ireland, respecting the advance, distribution, or expenditure, of the amounts raised under the autho. rity of the Act 12th and 13th Vict., c. 24, for a general rate in aid in Ireland:—" Account showing, under sepa rate heads, the different purposes for which money has been granted to distressed unions in Ireland, under the provisions of the Act 12th and 13th Vic., cap. 24, for a general rate in aid; distinguishing the amount allotted in each half-year, and on the whole to each union, for each purpose respectively; the gross amount thus appro priated, and the balance left available. And statement explanatory of the circumstances under which the ad vances have been made in each case to distressed unions and electoral divisions in Ireland, under the provisions of the Act 13th Vic., cap. 14, whether as regards the payment of the union debts generally, or for the reduc tion of the balances standing against particular electoral divisions." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was willing to give the latter part of the motion. As to the correspondence it could not be printed before the close of this session of Parliament. After a few words from Colonel DUNNE, The motion was agreed to. The orders of the day were disposed of. The House adjourned at a Qaarter-past Twelve. The following Members paired on Mr. H. Berkeley's motion upon the ballot:— Against. For. Dundas, Admiral Maunsell, T. P. Heywood, J. Gaskell, J. M. Romilly, Colonel Russell, H. Tufnell, Rt. Hon. IL Brooke, Lord Hutchins, E. J. Miles, P. Berkeley, Admiral Vyse, Captain Freestun, Colonel Lockhart, W. Horsman. E. Pakington, Sir J. Boyle, Lieut.-Colonel Williams, P. Berkeley, G. Guernsey, Lord M‘Greoor, J. Chatterton, Colonel Grenfell, C. W. Forbes, W. the paupers shall be employed in digging holes and fill ing up again, and their maintenance be paid for by the rate-payers. The money of the rate-payers goes to buy potatoes for the paupers, instead of being laid out on some branch of industry or other for their own behoof; so that to industry in the aggregate, exclusive of the rate payers, there is no difference. But there is this most substantial difference, that the rate-payer gets nothing, instead of something, for his money. The rate-payer, therefore, as it needed no conjuror to tell, loses the dif ference. And this is the way in which the maintenance of paupers is a loss to the country, viz. by the taking of the amount from the rate-payers, through the intervention of their getting nothing for their money, though to industry in the aggregate, exclusive of them, there is a balance. If this is true, the dread of allowing paupers to do anything that may produce an income, is a superstition. And it is a superstition which is only another form of the superstition of Protection, consisting in regarding the outcry of the parties who feel their profits in terfered with, without regarding the facts, that there are other and equal parties whose profits are raised in the same degree, and that the further result of the scheme is to bo that a third set are to give their money for nothing. If this is so, it is a point that must be stuck to, and carried inch by inch; for the expense of all the paupers in England and Ireland is not to be gratuitously thrown upon the rate-payers for a blunder or a whim. In these days of Free Trade, this is a question which ought to be worked out to the utmost, and will be. I am, Sir, yours very sincerely, AN OLD REFORMER. London, July 9, 1851. TO MR. G. 11. HARRIS, EXHIBITOR'S COM- MITTEE-ROOM, HOLBORN. Sir,—l request you to understand that nothing but the sincere respect which I entertain for the body of ex hibitors would have induced me to take the slightest notice of your letter of yesterday; because having attri buted to me language which I never used, and imputed to me opinions which I never entertained, you have dis qualified yourself from being considered as an opponent who keeps in view the only just end of all discussion— truth. You have asserted " that I have no right to say that the humble artisan was not actuated by as pure a motive in lodging his handicraft in the Crystal Palace as the Duke of Devonshire, or any other exalted personage, in contributing his costly treasures?' Assuredly I have no right to say this, because I never felt it, never did say it, and never penned a sentence which could ever bear such a construction. Motives may be equally pure although widely different, and I pity that man who does not believe that the artisan, sending to the Exhibition an article on which he has employed his time and talent, in the hope of bringing it under public attention, that he may be better able to contribute to the comfort of those he loves, is not ac tuated by as pure a motive as can fill the human breast. You then say, " assume, if you please, that we are all actuated by the low and grovelling motives you have attributed to us"—yet this, Sir, is your own assumption and not mine, for certainly I never attributed either directly or indirectly " low or grovelling motives" to any one. In what school, Sir, you have learnt to apply such epithets to the British merchant, manufacturer, trades man, or artisan, who has sent to the Crystal Palace " articles in which they deal, and from which they ex pect to derive a profit," I neither know or care, but this I do know, that you have committed a gross injustice in imputing to me such a monstrous absurdity. And you then have the hardihood to say—" reiterate, if you please, this libel upon your countrymen"— reiterate indeed! ! Do you know the meaning of the words you use? Such a libel was never thought of, cer tainly never written or spoken, by me; how therefore can I reiterate it? As might be expected from a writer who could, either through sheer ignorance, or a worse motive, resort to such unworthy means, the rest of your letter hardly re quires a reply. You ask, "ifl am really serious in be lieving that such men as the Duke of Devonshire and Mr. Hope deem themselves under an obligation by being enabled to confer a benefit upon their fellow-creatures by giving them an opportunity of seeing objects which will arrest attention, stimulate exertion, and advance the cause of civilization?" To which I reply that I am really serious in such belief, and would be very sorry to entertain any other, but I am not so unreasonable as to be angry with you because such obligation is beyond your comprehension. I decline to accept your assurance " that you must presume I was actuated by a love of country ' in exhi biting Corwar as it:was when purchased, and Corwar as it is now; for although I am a firm believer in the truth of the sentiment " that self-love and social is the same," yet the man who supposes that he is actuated solely by the latter motive may possibly be honest, but assuredly is not wise. That the reclamation of waste land must sooner or later become a national question, with the view to the employment of the people in Scotland and in Ireland, I sincerely believe, and therefore feel under an obligation to the Royal Commissioners for the opportunity of show ing a mode in which it has been successfully carried into practical operation. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, RIGBY WASON. London, July 8, 1851. SONNET ON SEEING WYLD'S GREAT GLOBE.

Robert Young, who was convicted on Monday of embezzlement, was brought up for judgment, and sen tenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one year. Jeremiah William Callan, 22, described as an engineer, was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Charnock conducted the pro secution; Mr. Ribton appeared for the defendant. The prosecutor of this indictment was Mr. Joseph Softlaw, formerly the proprietor of the Bridge House Hotel, and who at the time of the occurrence was ma nager of the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill. It will be remembered from the report of the proceedings at Guildhall, that the present prosecutor was charged by the defendant with an odious offence, but upon the second examination, in consequence of the contradic tory statements that were made by the defendant and a man who came forward as his witness, the falsehood of the charge became apparent, and it was consequently dis missed, and Mr. Softlaw immediately preferred the pre sent indictment. The nature of the case renders it im possible to give a detail of the evidence that was ad duced, and it will be sufficient to state that it established in the clearest possible manner the entire groundlessness of the charge that had originally been made by the de fendant. _ _ _ The jury, without a moment's hesitation, found the defendant Guilty. The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said that the prisoner had been convicted upon the clearest and most satisfactory evidence—upon evidence which completely satisfied his mind and also that of the jury—of ono of the worst offences that could possibly be committed. It was not only an offence against the administration of justice and truth, but was of the most cruel and reckless character, for he n:A only swore falsely, but ho did so to fix a charge upon a man of so heinous and hateful a character that if he had succeeded he would have con signed him to disgrace and ruin for the rest of his life. The manner, however, in which the prosecutor had given his evidence was most satisfactory, and the other evidence was quite conclusive of his innocence, and he would leave the court without the slightest stain on his character. After some further remarks upon the atro cious nature of the offence, the Learned Judge sentenced the prisoner to be confined in Newgate for one day, and then to be transported for seven years, this being, he said, the extent of punishment which the law allowed him to inflict. PIE IV COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) John Schultz, 28, waiter, was indicted for stealing a gold watch and chain from the person of Mr. Henry Howe. Mr. Ryland prosecuted, and Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Metcalf defended. The prosecutor in this case, Mr. Howe, the comedian of the Haymarket Theatre, said that on the evening of the 23d of June ho was at Vauxhall Gardens, and as he was passing into the Rotunda ho felt a pressure against his breast, and a man like the prisoner, but wearing moustachios, made away from him. Having a child with him whom he wished to protect from the crowd, he did not feel for his watch, which he expected was gone, until he got inside, and he there found that his suspicion was correct. e saw his watch shortly after wards in the hands of the police-constable. Sergeant Goff said that he heard a disturbance near the barrier where the horses enter the ring; he went there, and found prisoner in the custody of Hayes. Pri soner took a watch from his pocket, and laid it on a table close by. Witness shortly afterwards discovered that the watch was the property of Mr. Howe. Mr. METCALF said the question was, whether pri soner's was the hand that took the watch. The jury, after some deliberation, acquitted the prisoner. He was again indicted for stealing a watch and chain from the person of John Jackson Crossley. In this case the prosecutor, a country gentleman, was near the barrier, when he felt a twitch at his pocket, and instantly saw his watch in the hand of the prisoner, hanging by the chain. Witness collared him, when he let it drop, and at the same time had his (prisoner'sY'own watch lying on his. He told pro secutor he was a gentleman, and dared him to give him in custody. The jury found him Guilty. There were two other indictments for stealing watches from other persons in the gardens. He had only that day come out of prison for attempting to pick pockets at the Exhibition, and had been committed for a month. He had also been convicted in this court in 1849. Sentence, seven years' transportation. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. Cornelius Upton and Joseph Gutteridge, two decently dressed youths, were placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with having wantonly and maliciously placed a stone upon the line of the Eastern Counties Railway, whereby the lives of the passengers travelling thereon had been seriously endangered. This was the first case of the kind since the passing of Lord Campbell's Act, which has just received the Royal assent, and by which any person convicted of laying anything upon the rails, or doing anything calculated to endanger the safety of persons travelling upon any rail way, shall be deemed guilty of felony, and liable to a sen tence of transportation for l►fe; but in this instance the company determined to proceed under a milder statute, the 3d and 4th of Victoria, chap. 97, by the 11th section of which any person i 'guilty of a like offence is deemed guilty of a misdemeanour, and liable to any term of im prisonment not exceeding two years. Walter Capes, one of the railway guards, stated, that while proceeding in charge of his engine down the line of the Blackwell and Woolwich Railway at twelve o'clock on the preceding day for the purpose of taking a train of coke to Stratford from one of the sidings on to the main line, he saw the prisoners stooping down over the points immediately in front of him, one of which was drawn out up Upton, while the other prisoner delibe rately dropped some large substance between the tongue of the point and the rail. The engine was at that mo went in the act of running from the main line on to the siding the points were attached to, but he fortunately no ticed the obstruction in sufficient time to enable him to warn the driver to stop the engine, which was immedi ately done, and on proceeding to the spot and examining the points he found the large stone now produced firmly jammed between the tongue of the point and the rail; and the point was so driven out that, but for the timely discovery of the wanton act, the engine must have been inevitably thrown off the line, and the lives of himself and the driver probably sacrificed. The instant the prisoners found they were detected they started off across the adjoining fields, but were pursued by witness, who speedily overtook Gutteridge, who, upon being charged with the act, denied that he had done it, and said that the offence had been committed by the other prisoner, which the latter admitted upon being taken into custody some time after wards, but alleged that he had placed the stone there at the instigation of Gutteridge. The witness produced the stone in question, which was a large piece of flint, of such dimensions as must have produced the most serious re sults, but for its fortunate discovery and removal. The prisoners declined offering any answer to the charge, and the depositions having been partially taken by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, they were ordered to be brought up again for their formal completion. HAMMERSMITH. TV. Hayes, a watchman in the service of Mr. Alexis Soyer, proprietor of the Universal Symposium, Gore House, Kensington, was placed at the bar, for examina tion, before Mr. Beadon, charged with stealing a quantity of wine glasses, wine napkins, &c., the property of Mr. T. Symonds, who provides the establishment with similar articles. The prisoner was remanded to Monday next, in order to have the depositions taken against him. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL.—SiF R.

Sir,—Having received instructions direct from the Commander-in-Chief to patrol the Lower and Eastern Amatola ranges, so as to divert the attention of the enemy from the Windvogel's Berg, and to intercept any cattle which might be driven from the line of Colonel Mackinnon's patrol, I have to report that the force con sisting of 1,060 men (as per margin*) under my com mand, marched at six o'clock on the morning of the 9th instant, halted for two hours and a half during the day, and bivouacked for the night on ono of the spruits of the Kabouise. On the morning of the 10th I marched at five o'clock, and halted for two hours and a half on the Kabousie River; then resuming my march, 1 crossed the moun tains to the eastward of the Kabousie Neck, meeting with but slight opposition in this difficult pass. I halted for the night at the base of the mountains on the Bonte bok Flats. Perceiving the fresh spoor of a large number of cattle in the direction of a secret hiding place belong ing to the Chief Ante, on the morning of the 11th, at nine o'clock, I marched and followed the spoor for some distance across the flat, until I met the cavalry, com manded by Lieut.-Colonel Napier, C.M.R., of Colonel Mackinnon's division, to whom I pointed out the spoor, and told the probable hiding place of the cattle. I then recrossed the Amatolas by the great cattle pass leading from the Thomas River into the Keiskamma Iloek. I crossed without opposition; and from the high ground perceived several herds of cattle grazing on the skirt of the dense kloofs near the Keiskamma Hoek. I sent Captain Darnell with his troop in pursuit of the only herd which could be intercepted from the position I was in (Lieutenant Hoskins, R.N., and Lieutenant Whitmore, C.M.R., accompanying this party), and was successful in capturing fifty head. I bivouacked for the night at the mouth of the pass. On the morning of the 12th I marched at six o'clock, and halted for three hours in the Keiskamma Neck. The enemy collected in force on different hills, but would not give me an opportunity of attacking him. I halted for the night at the base of the Kabousie mountain. I marched at half-past six o'clock on the morning of the lath, and halted near Murray's Krantz for two hours. During my descent into the open country, the Albany Levy, under Captain Griffiths, had a slight skirmish with the enemy. I arrived at King William's Town at about seven o'clock, P.m. I have to express my satisfaction at the cheerfulness and willingness of the non-commissioned officers and men, both regulars and levies, notwithstanding the colds and the precipitous nature of the country through which I marched. I have to express my thanks, for the co-operation and assistance during the patrol, to Lieutenant Knox, com manding 73d; Lieutenant Campbell, commanding Royal Artillery; Lieutenant King, commanding 6th Regiment; Lieutenant Pasley, Royal Artillery, in charge of the Royal Sappers and Miners; to Commandant Davies, commanding Ist Corps of Levies, for the useful assist ance I derived from his experience of the country; Cap tain Darnell, commanding Armstrong's Horse; Captain Shaw, commanding Clanwilliam Levy; Captain Grif fiths, commanding Albany Levy; Captain Badham, com manding Riversdale Levy; Captain Barnfather, com manding Cape Town Levy. ' Lieutenant Hoskins, R.N., Aide-de-Camp to his Ex cellency the Commander-in-Chief, and Lieutenant Whit more, C.M.R., commanding the escort of his Excellency, who accompanied me, afforded me every assistance I could wish.—l have, So., H. EARDLEY WILMOT, Major, Royal Artillery, Commanding Patrol. Lieut.-Col. Cloete, C. 8., D.Q.M. Gen. COLONEL MACKINNON'S REPORT. Sir,—l have the honour to report that, according to your Excellency's instructions, I marched from this station on the lth instant with the following force:— Two companies 6th Regiment; four companies 73d Re giment; 200 Cape Mounted Riflemen; 75 of the Provi sional Mounted Levy; the Swellendam, Genadendal, and Fingo Levies. On the Bth inst. I bivouacked near Dohn's station. On the 9th inst. I proceeded to Toise's kraal (Passell's old station), in the Kalusi. On the 10th instant—sending my supply waggons to the front of Windvogelsberg—l marched at two o'clock, A st., in the direction of the Thomas and Doorn Rivers. About two hours before daybreak, I detached the whole of the cavalry under Lieutenant-Colonel Napier in advance, and proceeded with the infantry to the junction of the Doom and Thomas Rivers, where I was shortly joined by the cavalry. A good many spoors had been seen both by the cavalry and infantry, but no cattle. The spoors were of the previous morning, and went in the direction of the Kei River. The country was so utterly impracticable for men and horses that it would have been a waste of time to follow any spoor un less it had been very fresh. I joined the waggons near the Windvogelsberg late in the evening, both men and horses very much fatigued. On the 11th instant I returned to Toiso's kraal, by the road which the waggons had taken the previous day. I directed Lieutenant-Colonel Napier with the cavalry to make a detour to the right, and to sweep the country at the northern base of the Kabousie mountain range. Lieutenant-Colonel Napier reported, on his rejoining me, that he had met with no cattle or Kafirs, but that ho had communicated with a patrol which your Excellency had sent out under Major Wilmot. On the 13th inst., I proceeded to our former bivouac near Dohn's station. On the 13th instant—leaving the waggons under a guard of regulars, infantry, and levies, commanded by Captain Faunce, 73d Regiment, at the bivouac near Dohne's—l proceeded at one o'clock, A.M. in the direc tion of the Bola River, which falls into the Kei. Some hours before daybreak I detached the cavalry under Lieutenant-Colonel Napier to the left, with instructions to proceed towards the Kei to a point about six miles above the junction of the Bola with that river, whilst I proceeded with the infantry to Bola. After halting some hours on the Bola, I marched towards the Kei. Some mounted Kafirs appeared on our right, and I directed Ensiga Lucas to charge them with a detachment of 40 of the C.M. Riflemen, which I had retained. This ser vice was well carried out, and several Kafirs cut off and killed. A body of Kafirs then appeared in our front, and seemed disposed to hold some strong hills through which our path lay, but they dispersed on our approach. On reaching the heights above the Kei, we saw large herds of cattle grazing on the opposite side, and the spoor evidently indicated that they had been driven over from our side. Your Excellency's instructions were however, that I should not cross the Kei, and I there fore refrained from any further pursuit of them. It being evident that no cattle remained within our reach on this side of the Kei, I proceeded to form a bivouacs on the Bola. After dark I was joined by Lieutenant-Colonel Napier with the cavalry. They were in possession of about 300 head of cattle. Lieutenant-Colonel Napier reported that about 100 of these cattle had been cap tured by a party of the C.M. Riflemen, under Lieutenant Studdart, some distance from the Kei River, and that the remainder had been most gallantly captured in the bed of the Kei River (on this side) by the mounted levy under Captain Robertson, and a sergeant's party of eighteen C.M. Riflemen. Captain Robertson's party had been warmly attacked, and had lost three horses by the fire of the enemy, and three shot from fatigue • they had also one man wounded. Lieutenant and Adjutant Crouch, of the Fingoe Levy, accompanied this party, and rendered most efficient service by his knowledge of the country. Lieutenant-Colonel Napier reported that large droves of cattle had crossed the Kei from this side in front of the cavalry. On the 14th inst. I returned to the bivouac near Dohne's. On the 15th inst. I proceeded homewards and bivou acked near the Kameka River. On the 16th inst. I returned to this station. I have every reason to be satisfied with the exertions of the officers and men during these operations. Tho marches have been long and harassing, and both men and horses have suffered severely from fatigue. I beg to thank Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre, commanding 7 3 ( 1 Regiment; Lieutenant. Colonel Napier, commanding tbf C. M. Riflemen; Captain Crowder, commanding ed Regiment; Captain Robertson, commanding the 111rOvi- Levy ; and Commandant Ayliff, commanding the sional Levies—for the zeal and ability they sbOw ed in their respective commands.

" Sir,--I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th i nst ., request i ng to b e i n f orme d whether there is any ground for the rumours which are circulating, respecting dispatches having been received from her Majesty's Government, relative to the removal of the seat of Government to the f ron ti er . I n rep l y, I beg to acquaint you that it is true a dispatch has been recently received from Earl Grey, in which he states it appears to him that the time is come when the seat of Government can no longer be kept in n po s iti on so f a t from central as Cape Town, without extreme inconve. nience ; but, in the absence of the Governor, and without his previous permission, I do not feel at liberty to com municate more fully to you the contents of the dispat c h.

Sherwood, and her daughter, Mrs. Sirceten. These well-known and favourite writers of fiction for the young have added another to their list of charming tales. The " Mirror" reflects maidens very similar in character to those of our own time, e. though of course somewhat different in conduct. Queen Elizabeth is represented in no very agreeable form, yet probably it is a faithful portrait. Kathe rine is a charming little maiden, who monopolises the reader's interest, whilst the proud and perverse Mildred fully deserves the mortifications that befall her in consequence of her vanity and self-conceit.

This is a most interesting book, so truthful inits manner, that we can hardly believe it to be fiction. It naturally accounts for the somewhat surprising conduct of Mrs. Milton ; and we watch her through out with as much anxiety as if she were acting, thinking, and writing her diary before our eyes. We can also understand how her natural gaiety and charming simplicity captivated the somewhat grave and stern poet, notwithstanding the difference of their characters. The various trials and circum. stances that cause them to harmonise at the close cannot be here detailed; but we advise all those who can be fascinated and delighted by the record of a most attractive life, to peruse without delay this most admirable biography. Rose Agrien and her husband are excellent characters, and add not a little to the general charm of the work. We are glad to see that the authoress has commenced another diary in Sharpe's Magazine—that of :the virtuous and learned daughter of Sir Thomas More. COLLECTION OF ENGLISH SONGS. This volume contains songs of every possible de scription, especially those most popular in the present day. It will be found very comprehensive in its cha racter and complete in its details. If the compiler had been more particular in his selections the collec tion would have possessed a higher value to the re fined reader, but, as it is, it contains sufficient to suit the tastes of all. MAGAZINES, &c.—(CONTINUED). DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. The opening paper, " Chatterton, a Story of the Year 1770," details the early portion of the biography of that extraordinary genius, who perished miserably at so early an age, and contains some excellent ob servations on the character and writings of the boy poet of Bristol. In " Leaves from the Portfolio of a Manager" a peep behind the scenes during the re hearsal of a pantomime is described with paramount humour and gusto. A life•like portrait of Mr. M. W. Balfe illustrates a memoir of the talented and popular conductor of music to her Majesty's Theatre. " Five Months in an Ancient Irish City" is the title of a tale nearly as stupid as the locality of the adven tures therein related, which we have no difficulty in discerning to be that collection of dismal and dilapi dated hovels, yclept, in the sounding phraseology of the Ballingarry pathriots, "Cashel of the Kings." The other articles are a continuation of " Maurice Tierney;" a very well written notice of the "Me moirs of Wordsworth ;" a lucid, impartial, and truth ful survey of the present condition of Ireland, denomi nated "The Day after the Storm ;" and a review of sundry bards of the present day in a capital contri• bution dubbed "Weeds, Wild Flowers, and Waste Paper." The scourging given in the latter to two frightful effusions of a luckless poetaster named Breen, viz., " The Diamond Rock" and " The Monks of Latrappe," enhanced by extracts: from those outrageous lays, is eminently delightful. It is really doing the republic of letters good service to gibbet, without mercy, such flagitious poachers on the sacred precincts of Parnassus. " Frontenac," a poem written by a gentleman who glories in the name of Street, and who, on that account alone, cannot object to be " walked into," gets some merited cayenne administered, whilst commendation is fairly meted to Scott's " Lelio," and some minor contri butions to the realms of poesy by other aspirants to renown. " Lelio" the reviewer pronounces to be "a poem full to overflowing of the tenderest teaching, possessing much grace and power, and favourably distinguished from . many of its class by a pure morality, and an enlightened but undoubting Chris tianity." What on earth has become of Jonathan Freke Slingsby for the last couple of months ? The magazine cannot afford to lose so sweet and pure a poet. THE BRITISH GAZETTEER. The present number of this admirable compilation brings us as far as " Southampton." It is embellished with an engraving of the Colesbrook Viaduct, near Tunbridge Wells, and fully maintains the high cha racter which the British Gazetteer has already achieved. , , BANKERS'.

EXTRAORDINARY ACClDENT.—Yesterday an ex cursion train on the Great Western line brought up about 1,500 passengers from Gloucester, Stroud, and Cheltenham to the Great Exhibition. This line of railway, between Stroud and Tetbury, runs up a steep incline of about five miles in length, terminating in a tunnel nearly two miles long, in some parts of which the gradients are as high as 1 in 75 or 80. The train, which consisted of 23 carriages, arrived al this incline in safety, and was propelled up it with sow° difficulty by the joint efforts of two powerful engines, but on its emerging from the tunnel on th e L on d on s ide it was d i3 " covered that 11 of the carriages were become detached front the train and remained behind.
