Now ready at all the Libraries, in 2 vols., pest BVO., A NOVEL. 0 0 D. 4 ! The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in hail of of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of !thy purest sor t o f fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage LI which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions en; the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on c matters that are the prima The Gobi of the actions which cha sacterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he las marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Max nerees, and_Smythes. — Observe r. " Silwood' is no ordinary work; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we hevb given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry ; and Julia Maitland, the me noblest and best of them all."—hforning Post. hard Bentley, New Burlington-street.

RICHMOND presented a petition from the Town Council of Chichester, Co mplaining of the conduct of the Rev. Mr. KENRICR, the incumbent of St. Peter's, in that city, who had refused to read the burial service over the body of a Dissenting minister, o f „ tem. plary character, and also over the body of a woman w h o had committed suicide while in a state of lunacy. TIAe Bishop of CHICHESTER could not extenuate the conduct of the Rev. Gentleman. After a few words from the Bishops of LONDON and of IifiETER, and from Lord BROUGHAM, the petition W 33 ordered to lie on the table. Lord BROUGHAM moved the committal of the County Courfs Extension Bill. Tho LORD CHANCELLOR opposed the Bill, and pointed out several objections to the proposed enactments. It was ultimately agreed that the Bill should be re committed pro forma, and discussed on Monday. Their Lordships then adjourned. In the. Commons, Mr. ANSTEY moved an address, praying her MAJESTY to apg6int n Commi3sion to inquire, in Melia, into the operation stud results of the eznittug, laws touching the goveram . eat and managsment of the territories under t he .dministition of the East India Company. In bupport of his motion the Hon. and Learned Gentleman entered into a detailed statement of what he considered the abuses of the Government of India. Lord JOHN RUSSELL considered that an inquiry in India would produce great excitement and mischief. If an inquiry were necessary it had better be before a Com mittee of the House. Mr. HUME considered inquiry necessary, but did not approve of sending a Commission to India. Sir JAMES Hoag defended the Court of Directors and tho East India Company. The motion, which was supported by Mr. BRIGHT, and opposed by Mr. MANGLES, was eventually withdrawn. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then:moved, in pursuance of the resolution of last session, that the Rouse resolve itself into a Committee to consider the mode of administering the oath of abjuration to persons professing the Jewish religion. The Noble Lord recapitulated the history of the attempt of Baron ROTHSCHILD last year to take his seat, and concluded by declaring that, in his judgment, it was for acts and not opinions that Parliament ought to legislate. Sir ROBERT INGLIS reiterated his former objections to the measure. Mr. M. GinsoN considered the measure should have been introduced earlier, and hoped that if it were again rejected in another place, the Government would take some decided step. _ _ V Mr. PLIIMPTRE and Mr. NEWDEGATE opposed, and Mr. WEGG.PROSSER supported the motion, which on a division was carried by 166 to 98. The usual formalities having been gone through, a Bill was introduced and read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Friday week. On the order of the day for the committal of the Designs Act Extension Bill, Mr. ARHWRIGHT moved that it be deferred for six months. After a short discussion the amendment was nega tived by 132 to 42, and the Bill passed through Com mittee. The Apprentices to Sea Service (Ireland) Bill, the General Board of Health, and the Process and Practice (Ireland) Bill were each read a second time. The Marine Mutiny Bill and the Mutiny Bill were read a third time and passed. The House adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'clock. After exhausting every pretext and subterfuge that could be devised for procrastination, Sir CHARLES WOOD is at length driven to extremities. He must now " screw up his courage to the sticking place ;" no further excuse or apology for delay is available. The new Budget, the successor to that PRECIOUS production which was so unanimously re pudiated by all classes and parties throughout the country, and so ignominiously rejected by the Par liament, :must be produced this evening. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER must bring forward an entirely new financial scheme, one that will be more just and politic, more equitable and expedient than that which so strongly excited the public indignation, that it was compelled to be withdrawn without de bate or discussion. That most injudicious project contained three fatal mistakes, any one of which was sufficient not merely to render it unpalatable to the com munity, but to render any Cabinet unpopular that could sanction such unwise and obnoxious pro positions. These were, first, the projected application of by far the greater portion of the expected surplus to the reduction of the national debt; secondly, the transparent humbug respecting the pretended aboli tion of the window•tax, while it was to be retained and perpetuated to two-thirds of the present amount, with all its monstrous inequalities : and, thirdly, and worst of all, the gross injustice of asking for a re newal of the income-tax in its present monstrous form, without alteration or adjustment of any kind, and thus making the precarious earnings of industry contribute as highly to the national Exchequer, for the liquida tion of the national liabilities and the maintenance of the national establishments, as the rents or dividends of accumulated or realised property. Sir CHARLES may have " come to a conclusion" that it should be so, but he may rest assured that the country has arrived at a very different de cision ; and obstinate as he may be, he will find that it is absurd to make the Dame Partington attempt of keeping back the tide of public opinion with his financial brooms. He must necessarily give way, and if he cannot do so with a good grace—if he do not " swallow his leek" without threats or grim aces, his sins; will be visited on his Ministerial col leagues, and the entire Cabinet will be involved in the destruction occasioned by his recklessness and incapacity. Were it not that the income-tax will expire na turally to-morrow, we should probably have had further delays, but the speedily approaching dissolu tion of that horrid monster, and the absolute impos sibity of prolonging its hateful existence by any financial quackery, rendered it essential to bring the subject under the consideration of the popular branch of the Legislature without further procrastination. As it is, we may congratulate the English people on the great fact, that from and after the termination of the finan cial year on Saturday, the sth of April instant, the country will be free from income-tax of any descrip tion, until a new Bill receive the Legislative sanction, and pass into a law with the assent and approbation of the three estates of the realm. Even this is some thing to rejoice at. Whatever change or modifica tion may take place must prove beneficial to those who earn their daily bread by their physical or intel lectual labour, and who for the last nine years have been most unfairly plundered under the guise and sanction of law. The equal taxation of every description of income, without reference to the sources from which it may be derived, is so unsound in principle, so unequal in operation, that it would be a mere work of superero gation to offer any arguments on a point that must apparently be obvious to the meanest capacity, were it not that the British Parliament had deliberately adopted the iniquitous system, and that a person, who unfortunately occupies a position that gives a certain degree of weight to his opinions on financial questions, had recently an nounced, the " conclusion" he had arrived at, in favour of the present form. It becomes every man, then, to protest earnestly and emphatically against its con tinuance. There are no causes in existence that should induce us to consent to its renewal, for even a limited period, without an equitable adjustment being previously effected. In 1842 it was carried as a mere temporary makeshift to replenish the exhausted Exchequer, which ha d wasted away under heavy de ficiences for several successive years. In 1845 it was willingly renewed because the series of experiments had been entered upon that eventually led to of free-trad e the ab o li t i on of the b rea d -tax an d t h e es t a bli s h ment principles. The country was enjoying a t ransient g l eam of sunshine ; the money marketwas easy, cash abundant, was couleur d e rose and at low rates of interest. Everything , Ail was activity and enterprise —. the people had no ti me to the impost was re newe d without difficulty • • o, and think on political subjects. The matter therefor e passed almost sub szlenh The impost was agai n renewed in 1848, without discussion, but th e same effect was or dispute. wile pr o duced from very different cau ses th an th ose in ope • in 1845. commercial beena The nation had then p asse d through a operation crisis of no ordinary ma gn it u d e . T here fearful pressure on per sons even o f the moat un doubted solvency, and many fir s t- c l ass firms were unable to weather the storm ; credit was a l most ex tinct, the operations of industry paralysed. The na tional revenue participated in the general gloom; when the working classes were without employment, they could not indulge in their ordinary comforts, and thus the produce of the indirect taxes was materially reduced, and the national income was inadequate to meet the national expenditure. It was not at such a time, :or under such circumstances, that fiscal changes could be sanctioned, or that any portion of the direct taxation of the country could be re linquished. No attempt, therefore, was made to ob tain a revision of the system—the people were con tented to resist the increase to 5 per cent. proposed b y the CRANcELLou of the Exc EIEQUEN, which they did suc cessfully. But that success was attributable to the unf air and parti al than to any direct im post.T, objection to its character as a assessment of the charge, rather was th e simple fact that incomes under schedules D and highly as tho se under schedules A an d C, th a t l e d t o E were proposed t o be taxed as the decisive failure of the p ro position to increase the charge from 7d. t o i s. in from 2/. 18s. 4d. to Si. per cent. the - pound, or The circumstances are 74°W however, very different from what they were at any of the former perio d 3. It is no longer pretended that th e tax is to be con tinued only for a limited period. It is well under^ stood.that it is to be permanent, and most probably at even a higher rate than at present charged. None now in. existence can hope to see the day when Eng land will (after the next few weeks) be free from the property-tax. There is a handsome surplus in the Exchequer, so that any experiment may be reasonably tried. Everything indicates that this is the most favourable opportunity for placing the matter on an equitable basis, and the people are not disposed to let slip that opportunity to gratify the whims and caprices of the financial Minister. Let all those who are favourable to full and impartial justice to all without distinction, who think that the great constitutional principle that every man should bear his just proportion of the public burdens, and should contribute to the national expenditure secundum statum et facultates, join heart and hand, and the vic tory will be speedily achieved ; that is, if Sir C. WooD should have the hardihood to enter the lists once more in favour of " the conclusion " he had arrived at. What matters it if the Whig Ministry fall in the contest ? Better that ten such Ministries should be swept away—that all the traditions of office, the etiquette of Downing-street should be disturbed and violated, than that the British Parliament and the British people should continue to sanction such in justice as that which would be perpetrated by the re newal of schedules D and E without alteration or modification. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The National Assembly proceeded on Wednesday to renew the Presidents and Secretaries for the ensuing month. In the Second Committee, M. EUGENE SUE was elected President by 18 votes against 17, given to the Due DE BROGLIE. The negotiations for the formation of a definitive Mi nistry have again completely failed. The Messager, the organ of M. THIERS, has the fol lowing on this subject : " Yesterday M. Odilon Barrot met M. Fould at dinner at the house of a friend. The conversation having turned on the recent failure to form a Ministry, M. Odilon Barrot declared, in the presence of M. Fould, that the President of the Republic had never called upon him for a programme of his policy, and bad never made him any proposition what ever, from which it may be concluded that the President of the Republic wished to make it appear that he was seeking to form a definitive Ministry, but in reality never made the attempt. As to the law of the 31st of May, M. Barrot denies that he had expressed himself respecting it as has been stated. He was merely disposed, by way of conciliation, to adopt the modification proposed by the committee on the Municipal Bill, if it should have received the sanction of the majority, but he went no further." The Journal des Debats publishes in extenso the pro test of the French Government against the incorporation of the Sclavonian and Italian provinces of Austria with the German Confederation, and precedes it with the fol lowing remarks : " Oiir correspondent at Berlin writes us that the German journals show great discontent at the importance which the Debats has attached to the pretensions of Austria. The as sertions, however, of the German journals can neither change the nature of things nor destroy facts. France has twiee protested, as we have before said; she did so at Vienna by her note of the 31st of January, and afterwards by that of the 23d of February. She has done still more; she has very recently communicated to the Imperial Cabinet, and to all the other Cabinets who signed the convention of the Con gress of Vienna, a memorandum in which the question raised by the pretensions of Austria is discussed in all its phases, and in its relations with the politics of Europe. Has Austria the right to demand the admission into the Germanic Confedera tion of her Sclavonian and Italian possessions? Does it come within the competency of the Confederation? Both of these points are treated at length in the memorandum of the French Cabinet, and the dangers of such a system to the Germanic Confederation and to the peace of Europe are forci bly pointed out." The brother of M. BAROCHE, the ex-Minister, died yesterday. There was a perfect panic at the close of business at the Bourse yesterday, and the most improbable:reports were circulated to account for the fall in Government Stock.

Accounts from Vienna of the 29th ult. state that a note had been received from the British Cabinet, pro testing against the occupation of Holstein by Austrian troops. Prince SCHWARTZENBERG replied that the oc cupation would be continued until the organization of the Holstein army. Count NEBBELRODE, the Russian Prime Minister, has arrived at Dresden. The Emperor of AUSTRIA has caused Venice to be declared a free port. THE KAFIR WAR. We have received papers from the Cape of Good Hope to the Bth of February. The intelligence contained in them from the seat of war on the eastern frontier comes down to the Ist of February. In that part of the colony matters remained much in the same state as that described in the last ad vices. General orders had been received at Graham's Town from head-quarters at King William's Town, of the . 2Bth and 29th January, nominating the officers of the Gena dendal levy, 360 strong, and of the Cape Town and Al bany levies. Orders had also been issued for a column of 2,200 men under Colonel Mackinnon, to move on Forts White and Cox the next day (30th January)—the main object being to throw supplies into those forts. From Fort Peddie the following notice appears in the same paper, under date the 30th of January : " Captain Davies marched from here on Sunday with his men, about four hundred in number, leaving all their wag gons behind. He took the route by Wesleyville, thus avoid ing Line Drift, where it is understood Seyolo remains in position in great force." Letters from Graaf Beinet of the 31st of January describe the state of the districts of Cradock and So merset as very alarming, the Kafir population having made common cause with the tribes more to the east, while at the same time great dissatisfaction was exhi bited by the Burghers or Dutch settlers in the sur rounding districts. It was, however, expected that the Civil Commis sioner would succeed in persuading 300 or 400 Burghers to proceed to the relief of Cradock. The po sition of these districts, which lie to the back of the colony towards the west, renders this insurrection and disaffection more important. Public prayers were about to be offered up in Cape Town for the removal of the affliction under which the colony was suffering. The following passages are from the Graham's Town Journal. Alluding to some proceedings at Fort Peddie, that paper most properly urges that care should be taken to secure our possession of the allegiance of the Fingoes, and not to risk its loss by inconsiderate treat ment:— " The investigation into the disaffection of the Hottentots at Theopolis having proceeded so far as to criminate three of the residents of that institution, they were forwarded to the prison at Graham's Town, where they were safely lodged about eleven o'clock this morning. The ringleader, Kieviet Piqueurs, is one of the number. The prisoners were sent in a waggon, in charge of the chief constable of Bathurst, and escorted by twelve coloured men, chiefly Fingoes. Two others were apprehended by the Field-Commandant when at Theopolis on the 25th inst., but the evidence against them not being of a sufficiently conclusive character to warrant their detention, they were consequently liberated. Lynx, or Lings as he himself writes it, the writer of the letter so often alluded to, is also in custody, in separate con finement, so that he may not exercise his persuasive powers over others, to the working of further mischief. " The chief evidence against the prisoners is founded upon the oaths of certain Fingoes, who unhesitatingly declare that in their opinion the Theopolis Hottentots would have joined the Kafirs had the enemy appeared in that vicinity. One of the witnesses corroborates the statement made by the Rev. Mr. Smit, that that gentleman advised the people not to follow the rebellious course that the Blinkwater Hottentots had pursued. " The matter is not yet cleared, as further evidence will yet be sent in, but as the affair stands at present there is nothing of a more serious charge against those in custody than that of unlawfully assembling,' &c., so that Piqueur and his colleagues stand in the same position as the Kafir pri soners of war. "The seven Hottentots, whose committal to prison we no ticed last week, we re liberated to-day, and have set off to Theopolis to look after their crops. None of them have guns, and the institution has been rendered so far powerless as that a small force might at any time inflict a wholesome chas tisement upon those who rebel. " Our intelligence from Fort Peddie is calculated to cause a good deal of uneasiness, as respects the Fingoes in that locality —not on account of any actual disaffection on the part of those people—but from some instances of inconside rateness towards them on the part of some of the authorities, that has a tendency to generate feelings which we cannot b f efo re their n the number mpbuebr to c o . subject more point e dl y too carefully avo id at this juncture. We trust that a f ter t hi s Fingoes have sent 300 o reference, we shall b e spared the necessity of b r i ng i ng th e dent of which, th ose w h o rem •position am are in a not merely of danger to them se l ves, but of to immense importance as re spects the col on y. Th e public should look it, that this defence be not weak ene d b y injudicious treatment, or by any want of that consideration which "is of so much importance in all our dealings with these people. "News has just come in from Fort Armstrong, that the rebels have got possession of the building s , except the Tower—to which place a ll th e loyal people fled for have refuge. These are hemmed in, and derided by the gentle men below, who have signified to the Rev, Mr. Thompson, &c., that they will have permission to depart, but their sincerity is doubtful, and they have consequently remained. Their sufferings must have been very great , and report says that they have been without provisions during th e l as t th ree days. Measures are in train by the good people of Fort Beaufort, assisted by the Fingoes, to effect their deliverance this night, and may Heaven smile upoa their efforto "Further aceoiints from Fort Hare j dated yesterday, state i that the resident magistrate of Kat River, Mr. Wienand, arrived there on the 29th ult., escorted by a loyal party of Hottentots, among whom were ,the Field-Cornets Peffer and Botha. This officer escaped with no other property than the clothes on his person. The rebel Hottentots, under a man named Uithaalder, gave Mr. W. safe conduct through the country in their possession. The party took the road to Fort Beaufort, in prefence to proceeding to Fort Hare—to which place Mr. Wienand was subsequently es corted by Commandant Bovey with some men under his orders. So exasperated are the Fingoes at the atrocities of the Hottentot rebels, that Col. Sutton deemed it necessary to give an escort to the party who came in with the magis trate in order to save them from the vengeance of these people. It is said that many of the Hottentots have ex pressed a wish to return to their allegiance, and that Colonel Sutton has given them a few days to present themselves in Beaufort and deliver up their arms. " It is further said, that Jan Hermanus, eldest son of the late rebel Chief, has requested to be permitted to come in, but whether the request has been complied with or not is not known. A rumour is also afloat, that the forty Hot- tentots who, after being stripped of their booty and dis armed, were permitted by Mr. Dodds Pringle to go at large, fell subsequently into the hands of the Fingoes and were destroyed. This report, however, requires confirmation — while, even if the catastrophe be true, the circumstances which led to it are totally unknown. It is stated, on what is considered good authority, that the Hottentots are very short of ammunition, and it is supposed that 500 mounted Burghers would, in a few days, disperse or destroy the whole of the rebel bands, who are, however, in the mean time roam ing about unmolested, feasting in the dwellings of the farmers, and laying waste the country. The missionary Niven is still at Fort Armstrong, which post is now occupied by the rebels, who have, it would appear, not treated him with any violence." GRAAFF-RE I NET. Graaff-Reinet, Jan. 31. I herewith send you a most painful letter we received last night from Cradock, appealing to the inhabitants here for assistance. We are daily receiving dispatches land reports from Cradock and Somerset, which latter place is in great danger. They are fearful of an attack upon their town. The respectable and loyal inhabitants here are now making active preparations to proceed to Somerset. I have no doubt some will go on to Cradock, although the greatest danger is apprehended at the former place. There will I have no doubt be 300 men to their assistance ere you receive this. The Kafirs of the place have been mustered, and forwarded on to Kafirland vid Cradock, under an escort from this place; they however endeavoured to escape the vigilance of the men who were sent out with them. An order was afterwards sent out to recal them, when one-third of the number came back leaving the others to escape. I believe there were 130 in the whole, men, women, and children, that left here. The wo men commenced the attack, by throwing their petticoats and blankets over the heads of the watch, and commenced striking them with sticks,) stones, &c. The Kafirs who escaped ob tained possession of two of the guns belonging to the watch. However, one of the Kafirs who was attached to the waggons was accidentally wounded, but not severely. Stange to say, from the account of the men who formed the escort, their guns would not go off when they attempted to fire. The few Kafirs who were allowed to remain have all since left the town, including a Kafir named Buoy, who was in the service of the Southeys for 15 years; he has two wag gons and a good number of oxen, and is in good circum stances. The people here are much alarmed. You will please insert within the columns of your valuable journal the enclosed letter from Cradock " Cradock, January 29, 1851. " Gentlemen,—On behalf of the Board of Safety of this town, acting for and on behalf of the inhabitants of this town, I am desired to address you to implore your assist ance now that the time of our extreme peril is at hand. Last week we dispatched letters to the Board of Safety of Graaff-tteinet, to the Civil Commissioner, and also the Rev. Mr. Murray, stating the peril in which we were then placed, and entreating by all the motives of humanity and fellow feeling that volunteers would come to our assistance, from your district, to save us from destruction. To the statements then made we have now to add that information has jast reached us that Shiloh is in the hands of the enemy—that Whittlesea has been attacked and is now surrounded by thousands of Kafirs— that nearly the whole, if not the whole, of the Kat River Hottentots have joined the confederation against us, and that we are daily expect ing an attack on this place, which we are by no means able to protect. " We have deputed our excellent friend, J.Van Dyk, Esq., to proceed to Graaff-Reinet, to intreat the inhabitants not to abandon us, our wives, and children, to the frightful cala mity which is now so near. We have no hope of saving our property. We want only to save our lives from the savage enemy ; and our wives and children from what might be more dreadful even than death itself. " We might remind you, that if we are destroyed, you will in a few days see the enemy at your own doors, but we do not wish to dwell on such a possibility. We would rather ground our entreaty on your best feelings, as men, and Christians, to come and help us. " We need not say more; Mr. Van Dyk will explain our whole situation. For God's sake, do not delay; a few days more it may be too late. Timely assistance may save some hundreds of the families of your countrymen from destruc tion by the enemy.—l am, on behalf of the Board, " G. 11. GREEN, Wesleyan Minister. " To the Inhabitats of Graaff-Reinet." The following public notice has been issued by the Civil Commissioner of Graaff-Reinet:— " The Civil Commissioner having given himself a great deal of trouble to get the burghers to proceed to the border in defence of the colony and their fellow-colonists, and having been informed that, notwithstanding all that has been done, the majority of them are still unwilling, and that some object to the ballot that has taken place, preferring to be ordered out by their field-cornet, according to his list. He has come to the resolution to cancel the ballot, and without having recourse to any measure of compulsion once more to appeal to the good sense and Christian feeling of the inhabitants. " He trusts that no further time will be lost, but that all the men that can be spared from here will voluntarily come forward and make themselves ready to start in a body on Thureday, 6th February next, by which time the Civil Commissioner is sanguine they will have been joined by their friends from the country, to whom this appeal will be made known by the different field-cornets. " The Civil Commissioner is prepared to render every as sistance in mounting and equipping those who may not have the means of doing so themselves. He would request each man who may be so situate to procure for himself a good ser viceable horse, saddle, bridle, and gun, at reasonable rates, for which, when produced to him and approved of, payment will be made, and to such as find their own horses and equipments, the Civil Commissioner will, if required, grant a receipt for whatever has been furnished, specifying the value of the same. " The Civil Com missioner trusts that none will be found, who, possessing a horse or any of these articles would yet call upon Government for the same, as the difficulty of pro curing them at present would only cause unnecessary delay. " He knows that there are many in affluent circum stances, who, as they may not be able to proceed themselves, can procure others in their stead, finding them in every thing needful. " Ammunition will of course be provided and rations fur nished. Rations will alio be supplied during the absence of the men to their families who stand in need thereof. " The Civil Commissioner would impress on the inhabi tants the absolute necessity of their responding to the call now made upon them, sensible as they must now be of the danger which threatens the colony. He cannot refrain from quoting the following passages of a letter, addressed to him by a gentleman possessing the most ample sources of infor mation : " The colony is now threatened with a more formidable and destructive combination than has ever been knuwn before in this country. " The Kafir: are using very great efforts to induce all native people to sit still or join against us. "The Kafirs have resolved to exterminate the white man. Although they will not succeed in this, they will certainly inflict an irreparable calamity upon the colony if white men will not at once lay aside all disputes and unitedly meet the enemy. " The Governor is now firmly resolved to crush the power of the enemy ; but to do this the colony must unite and put forth a strong effort. " It is of vital importance that the colonists fully under stand their real position. If they come forward the work will soon be done, and that effectually, by the blessing of God. Never was there a moment in the history of the colony when delay was so fraught with danger. Division among colonists now, or even a few days' delay, may bring upon a great portion of the colony unheard-of calamities. " I trust that the colonists will be roused to a full sense of their danger— a danger which, under God, they are fully able to meet, it they will but determine to do it. • " W. C. VAN RYNEVELD, Civil Commissioner." The incumbency of Primley, which was rendered vacant by the death of the Rev. George Edward Holiest, M.A,, has been conferred on the Rev. Frederick Wickham, M.A., Second Master of Winchester College. THE STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATE OF LIVERPOOL.— We regret to state that out stipendiary magistrate, Edward Rushton, Esq., is at present so seriously ill that his recovery is a matter of doubt. His complaint is erysipelas. The answer to inquiries on Thursday was, that be was not better. BEETHOVEN QUARTET SOCIETY.—The first per formance of the present season took place on Wednesday evening, the quartets selected for the occasion being No. 5 of Op. 18 in A, No. 10 Op. 74 in E flat, and No. 13 Op. 130 in B flat, the last being one of the posthumous quartets, or so called. The performers were Herr Ernst, Mr. H. C. Cooper, Mr. Hill, and M. Rousselot, the principal director of the so ciety. Herr Ernst, who assumed the principal violin, was very unequal in his playing, being frequently at fault in his intonation and not always adhering to his text, though we are bound to say that he elicited many of the more recondite beauties of the wonderful composer with great effect. It is to be regretted that so great a player as Mr. Cooper should always be set down to the subordinate violin. His mechan ism is always faultless, and as an executant he is undoubt edly very far superior to Herr Ernst, notwithstanding his great reputation. We are convinced that M. Rousselot would find it greatly to the advantage of the society if he would occasionally place Mr. Cooper at the first violin. The subscribers generally would be pleased with the change, and they would not be slow to appreciate his extraordinary talent. It is unnecessary to state that Mr. Hill.and M. Rousselot were perfect in their respective instruments and executed their several solos with great accuracy and fi nish. THE BOILER EXPLOSION AT MANCHESTER.—The adjourned inquest on view of the bodies of the nine persons killed by the explosion of the boiler in the steam saw-mills of Mr. Williamson, in Hanover-street, Manchester, was re sumed yesterday. Egerton, the engineer, was in attendance, in custody. A considerable amount of testimony relating to circumstances immediately preceding and following the ex plosion was given, but eventually the inquiry was again ad journed. Mr. Fairborn, the eminent engineer, was in at tendance, and will be examined. THE STOCKPORT BOILER EXPLOSION.--The inquest was proceeding when our account left Stockport yesterday, and was not concluded until a late hour in the evening. Some very singular evidence was tendered, rendering the circumstances connected with the cause of the terrible disas ter more mysterious than before. Two of the bleachers swear positively that their kiers were well supplied with steam up to the moment of the explosion from the high-pressure boiler, while the junction valve between that boiler and their kiers was found in the ruins so tightly closed that no steam could have passed in. After hearing some additional evi dence, the proceedings were adjourned to Monday next, when it is expected the important evidence of Professor Hodgkin son and Mr. Lillie will be given. The general impression is that they will condemn the shape of the boiler, and its want of stays beneath the fireplace. THE BRIXTON XIIIRDER.—PLYMOUTH, APRIL 2. At the re-examination of the prisoner, William Rowe, before the county magistrates at Ridgeway (Plymouth) this day, he was fully committed to take his trial at the next assizes for the wilful murder of John Bunker, a servant boy in the employ of the prisoner's father. Great excitement continues throughout the district, and the committal of the prisoner Ina to the evideht eatiefactiou of the crowded court. THE SHARE MARKETS. BRITISH RAILWAYS.

Large bodies of troops and volunteers, however, were moving up to their assistance, and forts White and Cox were expected to be speedily relieved. Doubts are expressed as to the policy of making the services of the Zoolus available against the Kafirs, as it may teach them the art of war upon European principles. At Amsterdam on Wednesday Dutch Stock experienced very little change. Spanish, however, was sold freely at lower rates. Business in the English Stock Market is comparatively quiet, as the Budget comes on this evening, and the quar terly revenue returns will be made up to-morrow. The lat ter are expected to be tolerably satisfactory. Consols have been quoted 96 1 / 2 3 / 4 for Transfer, and 96% 3 / 4 for Account.

CORN EXCHANGE . -(FRIDAY.) A fair average supply of English Wheat has been received up to our market this week coastwise, viz., 2,540 quarters. The arrivals of that grain fresh up to-day by land-carriage were very moderate, and of middling quality. On the whole the attendance of both town and country buyers was toler ably good; whilst the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled steady, at prices fully equal to those of Monday last, and a good clearance was effected. Nearly 8,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to hand. Selected qualities moved off readily, at full rates of currency ; and we had a better inquiry for the middling and inferior kinds. The show of both English and foreign Barley being sm.II, that article sold steadily at very full prices. Owing to the large supply, 7,750 quarters, there was less doing in Malt, but we have no decline to notice in its value. We had a steady, though not to say brisk, sale for Oats, at fully the late advance. Indian Corn and Flour were quite as dear as on Monday. The imports from France have materially fallen off.
