QIGNS of the TIMES—not the " Daily Times " L. or the "Sunday Times," but the black and white ram and snow sort of " times," provoking the skater's wrath by broken sheets of ice, freezing for every one to contemplate, unless they are hahited in warm, firm, and comfortable attire, which, for these " times," should also be waterproof. 'their being at this season many counterfeits, it is no way improper to describe the features of the genuine article. It should be made of first•rate materials, combining firmness, strength, and superior finish—it should be cut on principles which secure a correct fit, which cause the garments to fall in a graceful manner from the person of the wearer—it should display workmanship which cannot fail, and such as only a thoroughly artistic establishment can exhibit. The Dress to measiwe or ready made, presented by E. Ma; ES and SON, possesses all these qualities on the most command ing aspects, and is charged considerably lower prices than at any other house. Its variety affords the amplest choice for Gentlemen o n r C Mechanics, for Sportsmen or Juveniles, on the same terms. Hats ad aps, Hos ery, Boots and Shoes, &c., of the best, most fashion able, and serviceable character, may be had at E. MOSES and SON'S EWablishment or its Branches, for very small outlays.

" Chief Moshesh,—When I was sent by the Queen to be governor, and to command her `'a•rmy in this part of world, six months past, I wrote to acquaint you and the other chiefs, and I told you that I would visit you as soon as the rebellion of the Uaikas, and Tambookies, and the Hottentots was ended. This has been done, as you have no doubt learned, and I now visit this country as I promised, and desire to see you and the other chiefs, as my friends, at my camp.at Platberg, without delay. "My proclamation will have told you the righteous cause in which I am come, and what it is my duty to do. "As I told you in my letter, I now hope my visit to you may be in peace ; but I must do justice, whether it be by war or in•peace. I have been told that you are a great chief and a good man, but I find that though you are a man of good words you have not done what you promised. Rank and File. • PLYMOUTH, FEB. 26, 7 P.M. The General Screw Steam-ship Company's ves sel Indiana, Capt.. Lambert, arrived here at 5 p.m. to-day from India and the Cape of Good Hope. She was - not due'till the 26th. Hei dates are—Calcutta, Dec. 19 • Madras, Dec. 23 ; Point de Galle, 23 ; Mauritius; Jan. 9 ; Cape, Jan. 24 ;* St. Helena, Feb. 1 ; Ascension, Feb. 4 ; St. Vincent, Feb. 15. The Indiana was detained at Point de Galle to coal two days, and she remained at the Cape of Good Hope three days. She spoke the Queen of the Smith, which left here on the 15th February, on Sunday last, All well. The Indiana experienced a very strong gale on the 21st January, when but a short distance from Algoa Bay, and was obliged to heave to for twenty hours. During the last five days she has also had to encounter strong winds from the eastward. She has 'not had to stop an hour since she left from any accident - to; her engines or machinery. She brings 35 passengers and - a general cargo. The passage, of the Indiana from the Cape is the quiClEest yet made •; Occupied 32days 19 hours, inehiding 3i days stoppage. The advices from India have all been anticipated b,y the overland mail. The Gape Monitor of the 24th . January adver tises 'irrsttipsl6rthatiil;93Mltirft - Ittirn a`"aid" for Algoa Bay, and two for the Mauritius, but none for Australia ; neither is there any indication of immediate emigration from the Cape to the gold colonies. _ 32th Royal Lancers Cape Mounted Rifles Royal Artillery 43d Light Infantry 7l Regiment Rifle Brigade 12 13 102 271 90 Total And says— . "Having reached the font of the Berea mountains, I ob served the Basutas drawn up in considerable force. A herd of cattle was presented in view, as if to entice us on, while by their war shouts they evidently defied our arms. On the right I detached the light company of the 73d, under Lieutenant Gawler, with directions to climb the krantz which commanded the enemy on that side, and, bringing his right shoulders forward, to turn the left flank of the enemy. I directed the Hon. L. Curzon to advance with the Rifle Brigade, and ascend the moun tain a little on the left of the light company of the 73d. I moved up simultaneously with the remainder of my force along the regular but rugged path which seemed to lead into the centre of the enemy's position. The enemy fired and attempted to oppose .our progress until we reached the crest of the heights, when they instantly dis persed. I pursued them with the few moulited men under Lieutenant Goodrich, of the Capp Mounted Rifles, "I find not only that you have not paid the fine of cattle imposed on you by the assistant commissioners (Major Hogge and Mr. Owen), and which you promised to pay for the robberies of cattle and horses committed by your people and with your kuovJedge, up to the time of your agreement with them, but, ,eince then, you and the people over whom you rule, inaiding Molitsani and Morosi, and your own son Letsea, with their people, and certain robbers called Jan Letell and Bashuli, have been stealing cattle from your n'igiibours, and other wise doing them harni. Even murders have been com mitted by them, and this village hat ken plundered and destroyed. In shOrt, the Basuto peple under your rule have bqcome a nation,of thieve e, • `C‘this.itat6 df things • hay& COMf mod_o-rl.t .Ziweeir an. and we succeeded in capturing at leiit 30,000 'head of cattle, with many horses having saddles on them. The enemy sustained some loss ; 38 were killed, and several were found dead.;— and SO_ LOlllpleteky_ -Ask feated did the enemy appear, 'that * some were taken prisoners, and made to drive .back their own cattle. We found it, however, quite impossible, with so few mounted men, to drive on such large numbers, and in the effort to do so many thousand were driven by the few mounted Fingoes attached to my division down the opposite side of the mountain to that which my instruc tions required me to take. I was therefore ()bilged to abandon them and content myself with some 1,500. About 1 o'clock p.m. from 200 to 300 mounted men, with white caps and lances (which caused us to mistake them for his Excellency's escort), suddenly appeared in our front. Before the mistake could be discovered two or three of our party fell into their hands, and I deeply regret to state that Captain Faunce, 73d Regiment, Deputy-Adjutant Quartermaster-General was of that number. The enemy's force now rapidly increased until we were opposed to at least 700 on 800 mounted men, who drew up in line in admirable order, and attempted to attack our front and left flank. As it was necessary to present a front, in order to protect our cattle and baggage, I formed three companies in skirmishing order, two in front and one thrown back on our left, keeping one in close order in support. The enemy charged up to us several times within 200 or 300 yards, but daunted by the coolness and steadiness of the men lying down to receive them, dared not to approach nearer. As my in struction required me to proceed to Thaba Bossigo, I directed the cattle to be driven down a path on my right, intending to follow with the remainder of my force. No sooner was this discerned by the enemy, than he cheered and charged us, on which we halted and reformed in skirmishing order, and again repelled him. Captain the Hon. G. Devereux at the same time made some good shots with the rockets, and the result was the total dis appearance of the enemy." Lieutenant-Colonel G. Napier states his force to have been-12th Lancers, 114 rank and file, under Major Tottenham'; Cape Mounted Rifles, 119, under Major Somerset, and says—" Having col lected a great number of cattle, I commenced driving them down the north-east side of the Berea mountains; when half way down, 700 mounted men attacked the rear, who retired. On the open ground the Lancers charged, and the enemy fled. Near the drift, on the Caled.on., a large body of mounted Kafirs were repulsed by the Mini() rifles of the 74th Highlanders, under Captain Bruces." In this contest, begun early in the morning of the 20th of December, and not closed until 8 p.m., 6,000 mounted Kafirs are said to hare been en gaged. At the close Colonel Eyre had secured 1 , 500 and. Colonel Napier 3,000 head of cattle. and your neighbours if I can, and if not, to put y ou an d your people out of the way of doing them wrong, and this I must do promptly. "I will not, therefore, stop to talk, but tell you now once for all, that having carefully inquired into the busi ness, and judging as justly and as mercifully as I can, what is the amount of cattle and damage you should be required to restore, I demand of you ten thousand head of cattle and one thousand horses, to be delivered over to the British resident at this place within three days' time, in order to be restored to those from whom they have been stolen. The Adelaide was detained at St. Vincent's 17 days for want of coal. The Mauritius arrived in Table Bay Jan. 19. The screw steamer Formosa was at Point de Galle when the Indiana left, on her way to Singa pore, from Australia. Her engines having broken down she would be detained some weeks. The screw-steamer Calcutta arrived at Mauritius on the 11th December, and left on the 19th. The Nile, Nisbet commander, arrived at Madras on the 22d December. She had been on shore at Waltair Point, near Vizapatam, but providentially got off again, and had sustained little damage. The Iniana sailed at 8 p.m. for Southampton, having remained here for only three hours. From the Cape there is intelligence of consider able interest, of both a military and political nature. . . " If this be not done, I must go and take either cat tle or other things from you and your people, and from Molitsani and his people, and if resistance be made, it will then Ile war between us, and I must then take three times the amount of cattle, as well as kill many of your people and destroy their dwellings and kraals, which I should be very sorry to be obliged to do. But if this cattle be paid within three days, and that lam assured peace is restored, I will take the army back again in peace. " Now, chief, if you are an honest man, it is for you to pay the just fine, which is not more than the cattle stolen, and save yourself and your people from rgin, or else prepare for war, for on the fourth day I must bring you to account. The most important transactions had occurred in the Orange River sovereignty. The Governor, Lieut.-General the Hon. G. Cathcart, had entered the sovereignty according to the tenour of his pro clamation—to administer justice to all—and had required compensation of Moshesh; the chief of the Basohta tribe, for robberies of cattle that had been committed by the people of that chief on the neigh bouring boers and some native tribes. The_ Gover nor demanded of Moshesh 10,000 head of cattle and 1,000 horses, informing him that the alternative would be the seizure of treble that number by force. The chief himself had a " talk" with the Governor, and engaged to supply the cattle within a specified time, and sent in 3,500 ; but failing in the remain der, General Cathcart advanced his troops into the Basouta country, towards Thaba Bassigo, Moshesh's great place. The camp, it would appear, lay between the Caledon River and a mountain called Berea, which lay in front of Bassigo. According to the reports of Colonels Eyre, Napier, and Cloete, the intention was that the first named officer, with his column of 500 men, should cross the summit of this hill ; the second, with about 250, should pass round by its southern and western base : and the other by the northern. With the column of whose proceedings Colonel Cloete gives an account were the Governor and staff. Colonel Eyre fell in with large quantities of cattle, and seems to have succeeded in striking a severe blow on the enemy in his course, capturing at one time about 30,000 head of cattle. Of these, owing to the smallness of his force, he was enabled to secure only about 1,500. Colonel Napier's force also met with severe fighting, and sustained heavy casualties. It however brought 4,000 cattle safely to eaup. . The duties of_ — the day wdzi(rThetPinaieTy — severe for the small number of troops engaged. The fighting lasted from the morning until late in the evening. The Basoutas mounted 6,000 horsemen, fought with much intrepidity and with well organised movements. Their attacks on the soldiers were repeated, but the honours of the day rested with the latter, for the enemy was eventually dispersed. A battle so obstinately disputed on both sides could not fail to be deadly in its effects. Although the enemy suffered by far the greater loss, it is melan choly to find the list of killed and wounded on the side of the British so lengthy. Captain' Faunce, 73d Regiment, was killed, and Captain Wellesley, 73d Regiment, and Lieutenant the Hon. H. Annex ley, 43d Regiment, were wounded. Four non commissioned _ officers and thirty-three privates "You must also pay back to Sikonyella and Moroka what you have stolen from them, and be at peace with them. Carolus Batjee and his people must return to Platberg, and the boundaries fixed by Governor Sir Harry Smith must be respected. " When all this is done, you must remain at peace with all your neighbours, and the Basutos must cease to be a nation of thieves, for if I come again it will not be to talk, but to make an end of the Basuto nation, as has boen done of the Gaikas and Tambookie tribe of Mapassa. (Signed) " G. CATHCART. Next day Moshesh himself made his appearance, and an interview took place between him and the general, highly characteristic on both sides. The " talk " is thus reported in an official notice after wardS published : The Governor—l am glad to see you, and to make your acquaintance. Moshesh—l am glad to see the Governor, as since his arrival in the country I have been expecting a visit from him, which his letter led me to expect. The Governor—l told you in that letter that I hoped to meet you in peace, and I still hope so, as I look to you as the great chief in this part. Moshesh—l hope so too ; for peace is like the rain that makes the grass grow, while war is like the wind which dries it up. You are right in looking to me ; that is in accordance with the treaties. The casualties on the part of the British were very severe. Killed—Captain Faunce, 73d, and 2 pri vates ; 12th Lancers, 4 non-commissioned officers and 23 privates ; Rifles, 3 privates ; and 5 Cape Mouted Rifles. Wounded-2 officers, 4 non-com missioned officers, and nine privates. Total—killed, 38 ; wounded, 15. The great sacrifice seems, however, to have se cured_the ,sublnission of Moshesh, who, tttv next The Governor : I will not now' alk much, but wish to know whether you received my message yesterday, in which I made the demand of cattle and horses ! I have nothing to alter in that letter. Moshesh : Do you mean the letter I received from Mr. Owen The Governor : Yes. d q C '~ u C 7 where 1 igurff get the cattle from. Am Jl to understand that the 10,000 head demanded are a fine imposed for the thefts committed by my people, in addition to the cattle stolen./ owing letter : . 7, - The Governor—l demand but 10,000 head, though your people have stolen many more, and consider this a just award. It must be paid in three days. Moshesh—Do the three days count from yesterday, or to-day ? The Governor-- To-day is the first of the three. M oshesh—The time is abort, and the cattle many ; will you not allow me six days to collect them ? The Governor—You had time given you when Major Hogge and Mr. Owen made the first demand, and then promised to comply with it, but did not. Moshesh--But I was not quite idle. Do not the papers in the commissioner's hands show that I collected cattle ? " Thaba Bossigo, Dec. 20th, 1852. " Your Excellency, This day you have fought against my people, and taken much cattle. As the object for which you have come is to have a compensation for boers, I beg you will be satisfied with what you have taken. I entreat peace from you ; you have shown your power, you have chastised,—let be enough I pray you, and let me no longer be considered an enemy of the Queen. I will try all I can to keep my people in order in the future. " Your humble servant, " MOSHESH." To which his Excellency returned the following reply : _ _ _ were slain, and four non-commissioned officers and nine privates wounded. The blow struck on the enemy would appear to be a decisive one. The immediate result was a letter of submission from Moshesh to the Governor The Governor—they do, but not half of the number demanded. Moshesh—That is true, but I have not now control enough over my people to induce them to comply with the demand, however anxious I may be to do so. The Governor—lf you are not able to collect them, I must go and do it, and if any resistance be made it will then be war, and I shall not be satisfied with 10,000 head, but shall take all I can. suing for peace, which his Excellency was very ready to grant. He lamented that so many were killed, and expressed a wish to see the chief again on the same friendly terms as before the battle. " Camp, Caledon River, Dec. 31st, 1852. " Chief Moshesh,—l have received your letter. The words are those of a great chief, and of one who has the interests of his people at heart. But I care little for words, I judge of men by their actions. I told you that if you did not pay the fine, I must go and take it. I am a man who never breaks his word, otherwise the Queen would not have sent me here. I have taken the fine by force, and I am satisfied. Moshesh—Do not talk of war, for however anxious I may be to avoid it, you know that a dog when beaten will :show his teeth. The result of the chief's letter was the immediate withdrawal of the troops from the sovereignty, and his Excellency has urged the Europeans of the dis trict to organise themselves as soon as possible for self-defence, and has given them full license to carry out the old commando system, in case any change should take place in Moshesh's present professions of friendship. Full particulars of those stirring transactions will be found below. The eastern provinces were still in a disturbed state. The banditti maintained a system of rapine, attended occasionally with murder. The bulk of the Gaika tribes were said to be interspersed among the friendly tribes, probably not without the con nivance of the friendly chiefs. The affair in Basouta had been looked upon with lively interest by the Kafirs, some of whom regarded the speedy with drawal of troops from the sovereignty in the light of a retreat. It was reported to be the intention of the Governor to visit King William's Town at an early day, with the object of proclaiming and de ciding on the terms of peace. The present appears to be a crisis in the affairs of the Cape frontier, the issue of which will much depend on the prudence, foresight, and resolution of General Cathcart. The political horizon of the Cape colony would: seem to be lowering. The speech of Sir J. Paking ton (when Secretary of State for the Colonies) de ferring the grant of a representative system to the colony, and drawing a distinction between the Bri tish, Dutch, and native subjects of the Crown, has occasioned the greatest discontent, and many of Sir John Pakington's statements are flatly denied by the press. The Cape Town Mail furnishes the subjoined details of the circumstances which led to the en counter, and of its consequences H av ing issued the proclamation which appeared in our last s ummary—declaring that his object was " not to make war, but to settle all disputes, and to establish the blessings of peace," and command ing " all chiefs, and men of all classes and tribes" to remain quiet, and abide by his judgment and decision—General Cathcart proceeded across the Orange River, into the sovereignty, and on the Ist of December encamped at Commissie Drift, on the Caledon River, where he was joined by Colonel Eyre, 73d Regiment, and Colonel Duff,.74th, with their respective columns ; the whole force, in cluding the column under his Excellency's imme diate command, amounting to about 2,500 men of all arms. Here, in reply to an address presented to him by the inhabitants of Caledon, General Cathcart announced that he had summoned the chiefs Moshesh, Molitsane, Sikonyella, Moroko, and Gert Taaybosch, to meet him at Platberg, on the 13th, and that each of those chiefs would be compelled to pay the amount of cattle which the commissioners, after due investigation, should think fit to award. On the Bth, a camp moved forward towards Platbeig, and was joined by a de tachment of the 45th Regimeat, under Lieutenant Howard, with some field pieces • while 40 Burghers, of a neighbouring field cornetcy, turned out to protect the border, in the rear of the Governor's operations. Unfortunately, during the first day's march, his Excellency lost the valuable aid of his military secretary, Colonel Seymour, who was th r own violently from his horse, - by which his left shoulder was fractured, and he had consequently , to be conveyed in a cart to the neighbourin g village of Smithfield. ers whichen remaining h found tilereb deserted by einm th r e . On the morning of the 13th his Excellency ar- , rived natives, a t the Platberg, en ly p Giddy, a Wesleyan missionary, who has for a con siderable number of years laboured among the Basoutas. In the evening two young chiefs, sons of Moshesh, came to the camp, but General Cathcart refused to see them, and next morning they re- The Governor—lt will, therefore, be better that you should give up the cattle than that I should go for them. Moshesh—l wish for peace, but have the same diffi culty with my people that you have in the colony ; your prisons are never empty, and I have thieves among my people. The Governor—l would then recommend you to catch the thieves and bring them to me, and I will hang them. Moshesh—l do not wish you to hang them, but to talk to them, and give them advice. If you hang them the cannot talk. The Governor—lf I hang them they cannot steal, and lam not going to talk any more. I have said that if you do not give up the cattle in three days I must come and take them. Moshesh—l beg of you not to talk of war. The Governor—l have no more to say. I must either leave this in peace in three days, or go to Thaba Bos sigo. I. therefore, advise you to go and collect the cattle as quickly as possible. "I am not angry with your people-for fighting in de fence of their property ; for those who fought--and fought well—were not all of them thieves, and I am sorry that many were killed. This is your fault ; for if you had paid the fine, it would not have happened. I now desire not to consider you, Chief, as an enemy of the Queen, but I must proclaim martial law in the sove reignty, to give to commandants and fieldcornets power to make commandos in a regular manner, and, with the consent of the Resident, enter your country in search of plundered horses and cattle that may be stolen after this time. And I expect you to assist them ; for though you are a great chief, it seems that you either do not, or can not, keep your own people from stealing ; and among the cattle you sent as part of your fine there were three oxen the property of Mr. Bain of Bloem Fontein, stolen since I crossed the Caledon River. Now, therefore, Chief Moshesh, I consider your past obligations fulfilled, and hope that you will take measures for preventing such abuses in future. In the meantime, as the Queen's representative, I subscribe myself Moshesh—Tio not talk of coming to Thaba Bossigo ; if you do I shall lay the blame on the Boers from whom the cattle were stolen, but whom I requested to come and point out to me their cattle, that I might restore them. I will go at once and do my best, and perhaps God will help me. " Your friend, " GEO. CATHCART, Governor." " P.S.—Chief, • I shall be glad to see either yourself or your sons, in the same friendly manner, and in the same good faith as before the fight, at Platberg, to-mor row or next day, but I shall now send away the army, and go back to the colony in a few days' time. After leaving his Excellency's tent, but before returning home, Moshesh sent to request that the day on which the interview took place might not count in the three. This request his Excellency acceded to. '' G. C." General Cathcart issued the following Proclsma tion On the third day, the 18th, 3,500 h ea d o f catt l e were brought in by Moshesh's son Nehemiah, and on the 19th, no more appearing, the or d er was given for the troops to advance.

An attempt at parley by the Gov ernor was answere d by a shot, when two rounds of shrapnel caused the enemy to fly from the southern angle of the Berea towards Thaba Bossigo. The dispatch proceeds :---- " The infantry, strengthened by a company of the 43d Regiment, under Captain the Hon. Percy Herbert, were now brought up, and the column advanced, crossed the L Lieut.- the ut. - deep mountain stream Rietspruit,' and were posted on a commanding knoll at it s j unc ti on w ith the Little Ca ledon approachesß i River, r, by yn which h T h ij a i b e au BossigoLieut.-Colonel oon eIE plains, yr Eyre and covering Colonel Napier's columns were to join.

On the clearing away of a thunderstorm and rain the enemy suddenly displayed his whole force. Mass es o f horse men were observed to move from the Thaba Bossigo Poort to turn the General's right, while large bodies ex tended along the front. These movements were con ducted with the utmost order and regularity. " Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre's division joined at 5 p.m., with 1,500 head of cattle, which it was necess ary t o se - cure, for which purpose some kraals in a commanding position were ordered to be occupied.

"And whereas, although the said chief has evinced his desire to preserve the good understanding and amity with her Majesty's Government, now happily restored, by promising to do all in his power to keep his people in order, it is scarcely to be expected that he will be able so to restrain their lawless practices as to entirely prevent cattle stealing for the future. " And whereas, in my last reply to the said chief, I expressed my intention of proclaiming martial law, in order to restore to the burghers full powers of making commandos, which seem to have fallen into disuse ; and whereas, upon further consideration, I have reason to believe that the course of proclaiming martial law might be misinterpreted and misunderstood, and tend to un necessary irritation, excitement, and alarm, and that the object I have in view can be attained without pro claiming martial law as aforesaid ; now, therefore, I do hereby, by virtue of all the powers vested in me, provi sionally and until sufficient legal enactment may be framed with the same intent, order, command, and di rect all civil commissioners, commandants, and field cornets within the Orange River territory, to be ready to organise their burghers for self defence, and for the protection, security, and recovery of their property in case of need.

His Excellency's personal obser vation could not embrace every part of so extended a field, or notice the separate parts taken by corps in the operations of 'the day ' • but he marked with ad m i ra ti on the steady conduct of the three companies of the 43d Regiment, under Major Phillips ; the gallant bearing of the detachment 12th Royal Lancers and Cape Mounted Riflemen, under Lieutenant Gough, 12th Lancers ; and the admirable practice of the demiattery of howitzers under Captain Robinson, R.A., which formed the forc e innupdiately- about his Excellency's person. "Of the noble conduct of the division under Lieu tenant-Colonel Eyre composed of a 'detachment 12th Lancers ; Royal Artillery, under Captain the Hon. G. Devereux ; 73d Regiment, under Captain Beeves ; one company Rifle Brigade, under Lieutenant the Hon. L. Curzon ; and a detachment of Cape Mounted Riflemen, under Lieutenant Goodrich, his Excellency has only to regret that he could not be a witness to all the acts by which this division distinguished itself throughout the day. The Cavalry Brigade, commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel Napier, and composed of two squadrons 12th Lancers, under Major Tottenham, and two squadrons Cape mounted Rifles, under Major Somerset, merits equally the Commander of the Forces' commendation ; this brigade having, with a spirit worthy of them, ascended the Berea mountain, so little suited to cavalry movements, there captured and secured 4,500 head of cattle, inflicting severe loss on the enemy, and brought the cattle into camp, in spite of all endeavours of the enemy to recapture them. " His Excellency having thus expressed his sense of the services performed by the corps under their imme diate commanding officers, he derives much satisfaction in noticing more especially the officers in command ; and he- rotaumuk. his marked thanks to Lieutenant-Colonel t Eyre, 73d Regiment ; Lieutenant-Colonel Napier, Cape Mounted Riflemen—officers who on this day nobly sus tained the well-known reputation they have long since established ; also to Major Pinckney, 73d Regiment, and Captain Faddy, commanding Royal Artillery, as well as the staff officers by whom they were assisted ; Lieutenant Reeve, 73d Regiment, Acting Brigade Major ; Lieutenant Arthur Ponsonby, 43d Regiment, Acting Aide-de-Camp ; Lieutenant Whitmore. Cape Mounted Riflemen, Acting Brigade Major. "To Colonel Cloete, Quartermaster-General and chief of the staff, his Excellency is deeply indebted for his able and gallant services on this as on every occasion ; to Captain Wellesley, Deputy Assistant Adjutant-Ge neral, who was wounded at the end of the day, and had his horse shot under him ; and to Captain Lord Alexan der Russell, Deputy Assistant Quartermaster-General, who was with head quarters all day,and in the evening was attached to Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre, who reports in the highest terms of the services rendered by him on that occasion ; to Captain Tylden, Lieutenants Stanton and Siborne, Royal Engineers, attached to the Quarter master-General's Department, the latter of whom had charge of the pontoon, by which the troops crossed the Caledon River, the Commander of the Forces feels greatly indebted for their exertions and aid, as he does to the officers of the personal staff, Captain the Hon. R. Curzon, Lieutenant Greville, and Captain the Hon. G. Elliott. And his Excellency takes this oppor tunity of expressing his regret that he was deprived of the services of his military secretary, Lieutenant -Colonel Seymour, by a broken collar-bone, who, on learning that the army was engaged in active operations immediately proceeded to join his Excellency in the field, and arrived the following morning, though at the expense of again disuniting the fracture. "To the medical officers—Dr. Booth, surgeon 73d Regiment ; Dr. George, assistant-surgeon 12th Lancers ; and Staff-Assistant-Surgeon Dr. Campbell—his Excel lency's thanks are due for the care of the wounded. "He cannot omit to offer his thanks to Assistant- Commissioner Owen and the Resident, Mr. Henry Green, who accompanied himi throughout the day. "By the death of Captain Faunce, 73d Regiment, Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster-General, the service has sustained the loss of a valuable officer. "A. J. CLOETE, Quarterma,ster.General." Although the Governor has received the submis sion of Moshesh, he has recommended the sove- reignty farmers to organise themselves on the commando system, to pursue the cattle lifters, and, if necessary, to kill them. The result of this pro clamation is not yet known • it is expected to be successful. But a meeting of resident householders was held at Bloem Fontein, on the 4th of January, when the unsatisfactory condition of the sove reignty was considered, and a petition to the Queen in Council, / or Parliament, resolved on. A general meeting was to assemble on the 14th of January. While his Excellency was engaged with the forces in the northern provinces, the Caffres on the eastern frontier again took up arms., The Shipping Gazette of the 20th of Janualy tween a band of rebels in a r e ( Fisl< , Riire; Bush and parties of the Cape Mounted Rift rn s, ou. ted police, and ffi a portion of the 12th Rement, under Captain Espi nasse. On this occas:on 'Field-Cornet P. Ferreira, three civilians named Brown, Barry, and Howarth, and a soldier of the 12th unfortunately lost their lives, and Lieutenant Lucas was severely wounded. The bodies of sixteen of the • enemy were after wards found, and from the quantity of blood, it is supposed that many more mortal wounds had been inflicted. " Two Hottentot women have recently surrendered at Graham's Town, being in a half-starved state. They have been residing in the Amatola, and they state that Uithaalder with his stock and family, and a large number of Hottentots, had crossed the Kei some time ago. " His Excellency the Governor arrived in Graham's Town on the 10th inst., after an absence of two months. He appered in excellent health and spirits. " Nothing more has been heard of Macomo or Sandilli. `.` Yesterday's post bring intelligence that some Caffres had recently stolen thirteen oxen and two horses from near Fart Murray, and afterwards coming upon some waggons belonging to Simpson and others, which were at that time fast in the mud on the road to King William's Town, they detached 20 fine oxen, and got clear off with the whole. " Mr. Drury, who was recently attacked and robbed in the Zuurberg, has offered a reward of 1001. for the recovery of his money. His loss was 5001. in sove reigns. From information that had been received, it was believed that the recent onslaught on the rebels in the Zuurberg had entirely broken up Hans Brander's gang. Some clue had been ascertained as to the whereabouts of the few fugitives, and pursuit was being made." The Graham's Town Journal of January 15th states that— " Commandant Currie left Graham's Town on Tues day for Somerset, called there we regret to say, by the dangerous state of his brother arising from the wounds he received while in pursuit of the Hottentot rebels in the Zuurberg, under the miscreant Brander. A letter received this morning from Fort Beaufort states that this gallant officer is dead, but the report requires con firmation. We are sorry to add that the brother of Commandant Bouwer, who was wounded under the same circumstance, died last week." The following spirited resolutions in reference to the mitii-statements of Sir John Pakington 'in Par liament on the subject of the promised constitu tion for this colony were passed unanimously by the commissioners of the municipality of Cape Town : " Resolved—That while this board continues to con demn and to repudiate generally the measures adopted by her Majesty's present Government for withholding from this colony the constitution granted under her Majesty's latter patent of 1850, it has just observed, with renewed disappointment and deep regret, that after the many but fruitless attempts on the part of Mr. Se cretary Montagu to stir up mutual jealousies and to ex cite national antipathies among the colonists of South Africa, the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for the Colonies, in his place in the British Parliament, on the 19th of November last, should have made a statement unsupported by,pn official or other document whatever, contrary to fact, calculated to wound the feelings of her Majesty's loyal subjects in this colony, and solely for the purpose of delaying the constitution so graciously granted by her Majesty. " That this board wholly repudiates any distinction for political purposes, as between the British, Dutch, and coloured portions of her Majesty's loyal subjects, and emphatically denies the numerical proportion alleged by Sir John Pakington to exist between the same. " That this board finds, from the returns published by authority of the local Government, that in the Colony Proper, excluding British Caffraria, Victoria, and the Tambookie country, there were in 1850 about 77,000 coloured inhabitants, of whom at least 49,000 were re sidents in the western districts, a large comparative pro portion of whom have fought and bled for their Sove reign during the present war, and whose loc a lt y remains means the unimpeachl, in defiance of the disreputabl e which were resorted to for shaking the same. "That this board is also satisfied, notwith s t anding the a ssertions of a small but malicious faction opposed t c oloured classes generally and to tho improvement of the colony at large, that at no time during this wicked re bellion on the frontier did the rebels, out of a col oure d population of 28,000 persons, scattered along a wide border and in daily contact with the Caffres, much exceed 1,000 in number (which has been r e d uce d accord ing to General Cathcart's circular of the 28th July, great p or ti on b elonged to the corps , t o o t, 3 t o h o e ), c o a f pwoh°Mounted Rifles, whose reasons for adopting that course, as well as thos e o f th e o th er re b e l s, still remain a mystery, which only the future will pro bably solve. men ' A t bend oasbtaiitnedis b o f y the aut b u o t r i m t o y s t o f i m t p h o e r t l a o n ca c e l G t h o a v t e arndmoecnut respecting the abovementioned facts and statements, this board resp ec tf u ll y apply to his honour the Lieute nant-Governor, requesting that .he may be please d to order an inquiry into the same, for the information of her Majesty's Government and the Parliament of Great Britain." In the following general order, issued on the 22d, General Cathcart, conveying his thanks to the troops for their gallant conduct, warmly ex pressed his admiration of their steadiness and dis cipline : " GENERAL ORDER, No. 103. " Head-quarters, Camp, Platberg, Dec. 22. 1852. "The Commander of the Forces conveys his thanks to the army engaged against the Basutas at the Berea on the 20th inst. for their gallant conduct, and his admira tion of their steadiness and discipline, by which an overwhelming host of 'Basutas and Bataungs were defeated during a contest which lasted from early in the morning until 8 p.m., when the enemy, with a force of not less than 6,000 well-armed horsemen, under con siderable organisation, after repeatedly assailing the troops at every point, was driven from the field with such severe loss as to compel him to sue for peace. "Nothing could surpass the valour displayed by every officer, non-commissioned officer, and soldier on this MONTHLY TRADE REPORT.

Ad her usual 'time, made a long d ays„ arriving on the 19t, It is feared that somVaelay-will take place also with '.9 l e December mail, as tlVy Queen of the South is advertisod for that service ; and looking at the date of her depart.urn from this it is very improbable that she could be ready for sea again on the 15th ,of. , cember. These delays are;4perhaps, unavoidable with new vessels, and wi'l be,. doubtless, obviated. As f ar , however, as the Ca 4e'imlividuNlY concerned, its cor- F 'responden with England was c ried on far more regu larly' and satisfactorily when the smaller vessels were running, than at present. During the past month several inst.ltutions have " re ported progress" to their shareholders. 1852 has been a very satisfactory year for all the Joint Stock Companies. Of those which have already submitted th eir statements, the Union Bank has declared a dividend of 12 per cent. on the paid-up capital, and carried 1351. to the " rest." The Cape Bank declared a dividend of 124 per cent., and carried 2,000/. to their reserve fund. The Equitable Fire Assuranc e dnd Trust Company declared a dividend of 15s. for the half-year, equal to 30 per cent. per an num on the paid-up capital, and carried 6601. to the re serve fund. The Equitable Marine'declared 12 per cent. dividend on the paid-up capital, ac tording to the trust deed, and the whole of the balance, 2',..004/., is added to the reserv e f un d . , The Cape ofGoo() Hope Marine Company has declared a dividend of 2.24 p er cent, on the paid-up capit a l, an d also carried at. considerable amount to their "rest." The remainder of the public in stitutions will hold their meetings during- the present month. With such figures as the above it is almost unneces sary to state that shares have fully maintained their value, and, from present appearances of the market, are likely to continue a favourite mode of investment. Money is "free," and both discounts of good paper and advances on firstimortgage are easily procurable. There were indications a few weeks ago of a slight decline►, in the high rates which landed property has lately obtained, and, in consequence, some properties which were about to be offered for sale .were withdrawn from the market.

Two arrivals from Melbourne have put us in possession of a fortnight's later intelligence from the gold fields. One, the Frances Henty, sailed ou the Ist of December, and has consequently made the passage to the Cape in 47 days. She takes home 70,000 ounces of gold and 58 passengers. The other, the Lochnagar, has only 4,000 ounces of gold and 16 passengers ; both vessels being laden with valuable cargoes of wool for the English market. The accounts brought by these vessels from the diggings show a continuance of the astonishing- yield of gold from the mines lately opened, and mention the discovery of fresh deposits on the Koorong River which bid fair to eclipse all previous disco veries, the metal being of exceeding purity, and found more commonly in the form of small nug gets than in the scattered state which renders the laborious operation of " washing" indispensable in other places. From the Echunga diggings, near Adelaide, the intelligence is equally favourable. " Pounds' weight of gold," -writes the Government Commissioner, " are spoken of now as commonly as ounces were formerly." Still, great numbers of persons are disappointed, and the general rate of wages shows a downward tendency in the price of labour. Provisions had fallen considerably in the market, and supplies are pouring in from all quar ters, so that the apprehensions of famine at one time entertained had entirely disappeared. The local Legislature at Melbourne had proposed to establish an export duty on gold, which had caused much excitement, and a popular demonstra tion on the subject had been threatened. The proposition, however, was abandoned. Numerous vessels were loading for London, but most of them would probably proceed by way of Cape Horn, the passage by .that route being most favourable about this season. The Sydney mail steamer was advertised to start on her return voyage to the Cape on the Ist of December, and may therefore be hourly expected. The Great Britain was to follow on the Ist of January. We subjoin some interesting particulars from the latest Melbourne papers THE ADELAIDE GOLD DIGGINGS. "The following extract from the Gold Commissioner's report, dated Echunga, Nov. 13, furnishes the latest particulars of the diggings : " Windlass Hill and Feltusse's Gully have turned out to be most valuable diggings. To particularise instances of success related to me would be difficult, not only from their number, but becau se .th e amount of gold stated to have r been raised is so considerable that it would be in discreet to include in an official report statements which have nothing but bare assertion to substantiate their truth. Pounds weight of gold are spoken of now as commonly as ounces were formerly. I have seen that which is evidence of the truth, of some accounts of large gains, and the great acti v ity an d energy with which the work is prosecuted is some guarantee for the truth of est of the reports. The break or vein in the bed of • pi la mentioned report, terns out to be In 4/ze lower bed, and into which- the heavier parts of the upper stratum have settled. These courses run cast by north, till they reach the lower ground, at which point it will probably merge into one channel in the direction of the fall of the gully. If a straight line were run in a direction with these diggings to the south, it would cut the upper and higher part of Chap man's Gully upon the west. Chapman's Gully is almost deserted ; that it is not entirely so proves that gold even now is to be procured there in large and repaying quan tities. Mr. Scrown, the finder of the large nugget men tioned last week, has, I understand, since found others of considerable size." (From the Melbourne Gold Oircular of Nov. 27.) During the early part of the week the doubt that ex isted as to the fate of the Gold, Export Duty Bill had a slightly depressing effect upon the market, and the price fell to 695. 3d., although very little business was done at that rate. When the fate of the measure became known, the price rose again, and may now be quoted at 695. 9d. firm. The new Kooring diggings appear to be turning out well. That geld existed in this neighbourhood has been known for some months, and a somewhat unsuccessful attempt to develope the resources of this field was made long ago. The recent discovery of several very conside rable nuggets near Mount Kooring has now sent a good many parties thither from Bendigo, and as far as we can learn they have no reason to complain. Judging from the parcels we have seen, the gold of this district is found in larger nuggets than in any other place, ag scarcely any pieces of less than a quarter of an ounce weight have yet come to town. The quantity of gold received by escort from Mount Alexander and Ballarat in the week ending the 20th of November was 65,879 ounces, and the week previous 125,000 ounces. The exports during the week have been as follows : Ounces. 3,224 44,704 65,166 Nov. 20—Lochnagar for London . 25—Meteor, ditto 26—Frances Henty, ditto 113,794 The arrivals this week are— Nov. 24—Ballarat .(Gov.) 8,537 23—Mount Alexander, ditto. 27—Ditto (P.E ) 27—Ovens (Gov.) 3,300 111/ 59,558 MELBOURNE LABOUR MARKET.
