Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are d in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired mi series and disappointe hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitflil Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated , how the sting of their bitt erness may be removed, and how the evil and its con sequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is sesreely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'.MERT has for a long series of ye ars been engaged In an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardle ss of the taunts and envy of the h yp ocriti cal and mock-modest, haired the confidence, through the mediu m of the public press, to attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society IS free. In selecting till , department of practice, he has been amply re 7 arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

Elliott, of Stockton-on-Tees, formerly a work ing machinist in the employment of Messrs. Fossick and construction Y E N i IE .---- , Hackwork, engine -builders. This engine appears de stined to effect a great change in the use of steam-engines either for the railway, the ship, or on common roads. The simplicity of construction is such, that the inequali ties of surface on a common road, which have hitherto deranged the machinery of the locomotive, are of no, injury or detriment to the works. For the present cumbrous marine-engine, it presents a substitute that will not occupy half the room. It can be applied to every purpose for which steam is applied, with the advantages of fifty per cent. in the first cost being saved, and an economy of twenty-five per cent. in fuel. In the con struction there is an entire absence of all dead points, either of centre or crank, and it is of full power at every point of its revolution—an advantage never attained in any rotatory engine hitherto constructed. The cylinder is of a peculiar shape, having two elliptical pistons on two shafts, coupled with an ingenious contrivance to obviate the noise of spur-wheels. A cylinder, eighteen inches by nine inches, will give a power equal to ten horses. The model we have seen at work, with a pressure of 401bs. per inch, performs two thousand revolutions in a minute, on the axles of the pistons. It has been inspected by engineers of the first eminence, and declared to be the quickest fast-motion ever invented ; and as the wheels of a carriage can be attached to the revolvinc , piston-rod, any amount of speed may b e o bt a i ne d that' may be re quired. As a locomotive, it contains the greatest power ever condensed into so small a compass ; as an air-pump it will be found invaluable, as it entirely does away with foot-valves. The packing in the pistons is peculiar, and there is no stuffing next the revolving axle 6. A company has been formed, in Stockton, to build a steam-boat for pleasure excursions during the next summer, to be worked by this engine ; and as it seems par ticularly adapted to ships, from its small size and great power, it may be destined to carry out the problem ofsteam ships in the coal trade. As an engine for printing establish ments it must supersede every other. The one employed for the Times in Printing-house-square will consume twenty five per cent. more in coal and steam than this will re quire. The simplicity of construction , is such that in a steam-boat a man at the wheel can put on the steam, shut it off, or reverse the engine, without moving from his post, and only a stoker will be required below to keep up the fire. As Mr. Elliott has not the mea ns o f carry ing out his patent, it is to be feared the benefit of it will fall into the bands of some capitalist, who will be en riched by the efforts of a poor man's genius, —Sunder. lwild Herald. • • • , • s er tu iy bb u s s , ei r e e s t s ir i es n p ef t e h ne a e e edte coun r t ed ry and • ,rl, of 4,4% _u. \,. . 3t. • Stubbs, mp v a ir t t h u y:f ri a i ll il w h h a o y k e n t o h w e h r im esp , e a c n t d, o s f o e l v on ery g patriotic man. 4.4 . , • „ ► ..•= l „ing. , , . ,) -TA Y. 4 , t . „. • " , 4 . s ,w • ,-..

THE CUSTOMS R ETURNS. —Th e re t urns lOT the quarter ending sth January exhibit a much nearer approximr.- tion of the value of imports and export's than has just occurred. The imports show a very large falling off, while the exports are considerably increased. Mr. Cato, who had been on a tour to the southwai d of Natal, returned to that place on the 22d of January. He had gone as far as the Umtata River, having prc ceeded by the inland route, and returned along the coast. Mr. Cole passed through the same country some years back, and expresses himself astonished at the dif ference in the condition of the native tribes. During his former tour he saw but few poople, but now he passed through a dense population, who were rich in cattle and bold in their bearing. He had seen what was said to be the wreck of the Grosvenor, which occurred about 80 years ago ; but both Mr. Cato and his companion, from indications which they saw, believed the fragments to belong to a catastrophe of an earlier date.

From the Cape of Good Hope—Colonel and Mrs. Eyre, child, and servant; Colonel Napier, Colonel Sparks, Mr. and Mrs. Egan, Lieutenant M`Kenzie and servant, Mr. Roebuck, and Mr. Johnson. From St. Vincent's—Messrs. J. S. Warren, J. Sampson, and J. Birch. Her outward voyage to Calcutta occupied 77 days, her passage homeyard has been accomplished in precisely the same period. She sailed later from Calcutta than the previous ships in order to have less detention at Galle for the overland mail for the Mauritius ; and the run from that point to the Cape averaged 94 knots per hour the whole way. The Calcutta met with considerable adverse wea ther on her outward passage. Betwe en th e C ape and the Mauritius she fell in with a hurricane, which caused some detention, but she sustained no injury—a sufficient proof of her admirable seagoing qualities and excellent management. So prosperous a voyage both out and home has not failed to give great satisfaction to her pas sengers. The Port Louis Gazette, writing on the passage of the Calcutta from India to the Mauritius, says: " The following particulars have been kindly commu nicated by a passenger on board this fine vessel, which we readily publish. The Calcutta is the first of the Screw Company's vessels that has experienced a hurri cane, and she has proved her qualities as a good sea boat. Captain Hall has also had his experience, science, and skill fairly tested, and has been found well up to the mark. " The Calcutta left the Sandheads on the 21st of January at 10 p.m., and had an exciting race with the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Pottinger down to Madras, the Calcutta taking the lead and beating by some hours--all the time fair steaming—no wind. " The trifling accident to the fittings of her screw which caused the delay (so vexatious to her commander) at this island on her outward voyage has given no trouble since, and her machinery is in the highest state of efficiency. She has had no assistance from the wind since leaving Calcutta till yesterday, when she met the S.E. trade wind. Still she has made an excellent run down. " She encountered a hurricane three days after leaving Mauritius (December 20), but by the judicious management of Captain Hall, who is well versed in the cyclonic theory both by experience and study, the more dangerous part was avoided, and the Calcutta rode nobly through it, not sustaining the slightest accident, though it caused her some detention." The Great Britain screw steam-ship, Captain B. Mathews, left the Cape of Good Hope on the 20th of January at 4 a.m., four days before the depar ture of the Calcutta. Her Majesty's steam-ship Dee left Simon's Bay for Algoa Bay on the 18th of February. She is expected to bring a portion of the 73d Regiment to Cape Town. The ship John Bartlett left Table Bay for London on the 20th of Febrnary, and the Albatross on the same day for Port Philip. The schooner Mary, which arrived in Mossel Bay from England on the 14th of February, was driven ashore during a heavy S.E. gale on Wednesday the 16th. She parted two anchors, and, after dragging the third, she slipped and went on shore. One of the crew was drowned, and the vessel was expected to become a total wreck. (A letter, dated February 19, states that she still held together, and that she was not insured. Her cargo has been advertised for sale.) Her Majesty's ship Polyphemus and the Austra lian Royal mail steamship Adelaide were at St. Helena on the 4th of March. The Adelaide had been detained there seven days for coal, and was then filling up with wood. The St. Helena Herald of the 3d of March con tains a long letter from Mr. Robert Young, one of the passengers by the Royal Australian Mail Com pany's steam-ship Adelaide, Captain Jackson, which sailed from Plymouth on the 3d of January, arrived at St. Vincent's on the 17th, and, after a delay of 17i days, left for the Cape. On the 10th of February she crossed the Line, and, on the 16th, it was found that the coal was insufficient to take her to the Cape. Mr. Young writes : " The screw of the Adelaide cannot be lifted, and, in consequence of some peculiarity in her construction, she will not steer without steam while the propeller is in the water. Being therefore dependent upon fuel, and not only for progress, but also for the supply of fresh water by mean of condensed steam, the captain unquestionably adopted the most prudent course. We reached this port on the 20th, and again were we destined to meet with disappointment. We found no coal in the market, and are necessitated to do the best we can to obtain wood. Ido not like, with out good and sufficient cause, to express any censure on a public company ; and it is but justice to the company in question to state, that several coal vessels had been dispatched to St. Vincent's, but that the heavy and continuous gales in the Channel had prevented their timely arrival ; and also to state that the Adelaide has been found to consume a much larger quantity of coal than the directors were taught to believe would be suffi cient. But, while I readily make these admissions, I nevertheless have a very strong opinion that more care ought to have been taken to provide for contingencies. Had less merchandise and more coal been received on board at Plymouth, we might have avoided the delay and expense incurred at St Vincent's and St. Helena. When as passengers we paid our money, we were told very confidently that in 75 days the vesssel would reach Sydney. But 77 days have already elapsed since the 14th of December, and we have performed only about one-third of our voyage. This unexpected delay is truly vexatious to the captain and his officers, highly incon venient to the passengers. and to s ome of them may even. be ruinous." The General Screw Steam-Shipping Company's steamer Queen of the South was steaming out of Ascension on the 7th of March, when the Calcutta entered. the rivers Indwe and Kei as the boundary between her Majesty's territories and his own. Reductions in . the various forces hitherto engaged in the war were immediately to take place. We subjoin the following details from the Cape papers ' (From the Monthly Summary of the Cape Monitor, Feb. 23.) Since our last summary little has occurred on the frontier which could in itself be regarded as an omen of our success. The war has, however, long been virtually terminated, and most of the rebels would doubtless much prefer the ingleside of a settler's kitchen to the most romantic adventures and hair-breadth escapes to be en countered in the defiles of the Amatolas. Still, a few are determined to die hard, and consequently keep the police continually on the alert ; but their depredations have not been either formidable or frequent. We regret most to have to report the death of Lieut. William Currie, of the Somerset police, who was wounded some time ago while pursuing these wretches. Every atten tion was paid to the sufferer which medical skill could dictate, but in vain. He gradually sunk under the loss of blood, and, at length, " one of the bravest hearts among the sons of the British settlers of Albany ceased to beat." The month of Jativary was spent by a party of 155 Fingoes, who, commanded by Commander Cyrus and Lieutenants R. and W. Forrester, patrolled the country about the Fish River. On four or five oc casions they discovered the spoors of Kafirs, which they followed, as hounds do the trail of foxes, and succeeded in shooting a few of the marauders and capturing some arms and horses. The difficulty of pursuit was oonsiderable, requiring the exercise of much prartical sagacity, as, in the more open places, the Kafirs attempted to mislead our mei._ by walking back ' wards, and by giving to their vestiges ge mso - a duoty road the appearance of baboon tracks. But our men, under the able guidance of Mr. P. Koester, were not to be baffled by tricks as old as the days of Cacus. On the 18th January Piet Koester was severely wounded, but was carried off by his companions a distance of 18 miles. On the same day was wounded, at Koester's Drift, J. M. Ferreira, the son of the lamented Field- Cornet Ferreira, who was shot a few days before by Brander's Hottentots. An examination of the fallen rebels led to the conclusion that they had formed a sort of rear-guard of Brander's gang. On the evening of the same day occurred one of those unexpected successes which serve to show that the battle is not always to the strong, nor the race to the swift. John Klaas, a Hot tentot in the service of Mr. W. H. Daniell, of Sidbury Park, had proceeded with two waggons as far as Howi son's Poort, when he saw two Kafirs driving eight oxen. Unable to answer his interrogations they ran off, leaving the oxen behind. Shortly after, he captured 14 more, and at daylight the following morning found 16 oxen with their reims on, mixed with the 14. Either a panic seized the thieves, or they may have intended - it as a ruse to put the Albany farmers off their guard. The execution of Job David, the condemned rebel, took place at King William's Town. From a letter written by his spiritual attendant on the occasion, we learn that he had deserted with others from the Cape Mounted Rifles, because Laverlot (of Kat River) had written letters persuading them to make a speedy escape, as the English had made preparation for making all the Hottentots slaves. He fled to the bush, and was in the mountains about a year ; but getting tired of such a sinful and miserable life he repaired to Pato's location. On this narrative some obvious reflections may be made. First, the efficacy of Kat River messages upon the minds of men who had nothing to complain of. Kat River seems to have been regarded as a sort of mis sionary sanctuary, from which every lie issued forth clothed in the garb of gospel truth. Secondly, we may note the mental grouping of ideas in the deserter's con fession. His life of want and hardship in the mountains is identical with a sinful life—indicating that, in Hotten tot parlance, plenty and righteousness, hunger and sin, are convertible terms. We must infer that the system of instruction adopted by the London missionaries at Kat River must be both dangerous and injudicious, since it has fostered an influence over their proteges so unwar ranted and so liable to abuse. During the month, 18 or 20 rebel Hottentots were tried by court-martial, and sentenced to two years' im prisonment, with hard labour. Such a sentence, or one even more severe, has been often passed on natives con victed in the Supreme Court of larceny or attempted burglary. Rebellion, which by implication contains the elements of every crime, is by this sentence exhibited to the coloured people as scarcely more heinous than the theft of a sheep I Reference was lately made to the numbers of coloured people located in the precincts of Graham's Town, who were found to be living unsupervised, and in a semi lawless state. A census has been made, and their num bers found to be 3,000. Witchcraft has been manifesting itself among the Fin gees at Graham's Town and Fort Peddie. In the latter place the magistrate has detected and punished two witch doctors, and has latterly committed a Fingo to prison on a charge of wilful murder. It appears that a child was sick, and the native saga having pointed out another man as the cause, the father was instigated to shoot the imaginary offender. At Graham's Town, the headman of one of the Fingoe kraals has deposed before the clerk of the peace to curious facts, which prove at once the extent of native credulity and superstition. A woman was alleged to be pregnant with snakes, and serious con sequences might have ensued had not the headman fined the husband 50 rix-dollars. The husband, however, evades payment, and hence the application of the Fingo headman to have the penalty enforced by the British authorities. A sawyer, named Ward, who was wounded some time ago in Oliphant's Hoek, has died-. The victim in this instance was a man in humble life, but the result of rebel treachery would have been the same though the object had been the noblest of England's aristocracy. Reviewing the past, let us count up the costly nature of the price which we have paid for our philandering policy towards the natives, and no man of common humanity can fail to be struck with its unfortunate issue, and the consequent necessity of altering the system completely. During a severe thunder -storm Mr. Munford's kraal was forced by the enemy, and 50 head of cattle were stolen ; but through the activity of the police all were recovered except one. By a notice, dated Jan. 25, 1853, a board has been appointed "to investigate and report upon all claims for losses of cattle, or waggons captured or destroyed by the enemy, while in the employ of Government during the war." . _ Flying rumours have been rife respecting the demean our and intentions of Kreli and the deposed rebel chiefs. According to some parties, Sandilli rand Macomo are desirous of peace ; according to others, they are watch ing the course of events, ready to take advantage of any false or faltering movement on our side. Again, Kreli is reported as intensely afraid of another com mando, yet evading the payment of the fine imposed by Sir H. Smith. By last post, however, it seems he has sent, an instalment of 100 head, and some assagais. Scores of mounted men, however, are said to be passing Clarkebury. A meeting of the chiefs at King William's Town is spoken of, but General Cathcart maintains a prudent silence regarding his ulterior measures, and the rumour is so far unauthenticated by official announcement. Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre, of the 73d, being abotit to proceed to England, for the benefit of his health, several addresses have been forwarded to him by those who have long been spectators of his heroic gallantry and valour. Lieutenant-Colonel Napier, being appointed to a higher command in Canada, has been entertained by the officers of the Cape Mounted Rifles in the most enthusi astic and respectful manner. Nothing seems clearer than that Moshesh, having been convicted of a theft on a great scale, was properly fined ; and that his having resisted the payment by force of arms only aggravates his former offence. That his Excellency has forborne to:press his claims is by no means tantamount to saying that the claim has been satisfied or remitted. _ _ The Trans-Vaal Boers have :taught us a lesson which we should have known long ago. They strike no hesi tating blow, nor allow their humanity to be abused by the machinations of political missionaries. Their attack upon Secheli, and their expulsion of two London mis sionaries' are marks of a promptitude and d ec i s i on w hi c h we look for in vain among the annals of our own South African policy. A well-informed correspondent to one of the frontier papers remarks upon these events, and states that " a complete gunsmith's shop was found on the premises of one of the missionaries (near Secheli's place), with guns in all stages of repair ;" and then very properly asks if such an establishment is necessary for the conversion of the heathen ? The commission which has been sitting to take evi dence on the state of the native tribes, and the best me thod of dealing with them, has finished its sittings. The recapitulation of evidence will be interesting ; but the whole of their proceedings have not yet come to hand. Since the above was written, intelligence has been re ceived, of the proclamation of peace with Krell, and a report that the proscribed Kafir chiefs, Macomo and Sandilli, have retreated across the Kei, and Kreli's having sued for peace. The notices and proclamations which announce this welcome news will be found in an other column. The following summary is extracted from the Cape Town, Mail of Feb. 22 : Since General Cathcart's return from the Basuto coun try, after the battle of Berea, no further hostilities have taken place. Head-quarters are again established at King William's Town, where the 43d, 47th, and 74th Regiments are stationed ; the remainder of the forces being so disposed as to hold possession of various points in the Amatolas, and keep that part of the country clear of marauders. To all appearance the Kafir war is at an end, although no declaration of peace has yet been made. All idea of fighting has evidently been abandoned by the hostile tribes, and the latest accounts from the frontier state that the chiefs Sandilli and Macomo have moved over the Kei in compliance with the proclamation issued by his Excellency on his arrival, declaring that this was the only position in which he would ever treat with them. Attempts had been repeatedly made to open up a " talk" by messen gers from these chiefs, but the general was inexorable in demanding reminal as an .indispensal:de preliminary to negotiation. This condition having now been ostensibly complied with, there seems a prospect that some kind of peace will shortly be agreed upon. Several of San dilli's councillors are stated to have arrived at head quarters with the chief's "word," and been admitted to an audience, but the nature of the arrangements proposed on either side has not yet been made public. Whatever these arrangements may be, it is now cer tain that General Cathcart intends to retain military possession of the Amatolas until her Majesty's pleasure be known on the subject. In a Government Notice re cently issued, lie announces his intention to establish townships and villages in the neighbourhood of sufficient military forts and garrisons, in that portion of the lands formerly occupied by the Gaikas, named the Keiskamma Hoek, and invites applications for land from the " de serving persons who have fought nobly in the ranks of colonial levies and other corps during the rebellion now happily suppressed." As the grants, however, are of wofully small extent, and subject to a condition of bond fide residence, it is evident that his Excellency wishes to discourage the system of speculating in such lands, which has frequently produced extensive evil in this country. The first settlers are to be rationed for six months, and provided with implements, seeds, &c. ; and in the event of the Home Government abandoning the project, com pensation is to be given them, either in money or land elsewhere. Notwithstanding this apparently promising condition of affairs over the border, the frontier districts have not been wholly free from depredation. Several serious losses of cattle and horses have taken place ; and Kafir scouts and small parties of rebel Hottentots are continu ally met with, far within the more settled parts of the colony. These circumstances naturally tend to keep up a feeling of insecurity in the country, and many of the Eastern colonists are, it is said, determined, if peace be not speedily and satisfactorily restored, to seek for hap pier homes in the land of the golden East. Up to the arrival of the last post the state of affairs in Kreli's country, the scene of General Cathcart's first "foray," was looked upon as very unsatisfactory. The remainder of the fine imposed upon that chief for the destruction of missionary property at Butterworth had not been paid ; and it appeared that a number of his people, the Amagaleki, assisted by refuge rebel Hotten tots, have fallen upon the Tambookies and destroyed several of their kraals. A party of them visited the missionary station of Morley in quest of gunpowder, but were prevented from obtaining it by the address and courage of the missionary's wife. Subsequent reports stated that the station had been destroyed, but of this we have no certain information. All accounts, however, concurred in representing the Amagaleki territory as in a state of dangerous confusion. Kreli, feeling, doubtless, that this was a condition of things which might lead to a second visit from General Cathcart, took time by the forelock and sent in messen gers professing great contrition and humility. With a bundle of assegais, in token of submission, he also sent about 100 cattle as a further instalment of his fine, plead ing poverty and that the Boers had plundered him of great numbers. He admitted that he had been severely punished, and begged for a remission of the remainder of the fine and for peace, and the hand of peace was at once held out to him. A proclamation issued by the Gover nor on the 14th instant, at King William's Town, announces that peace and amity have been restored between Majesty and her faithful friend Kreli, who, on his part, promises to be true and faithful to all his engagements, and to regard the rivers Indwe and Kei as the boundary between her Majesty's territories and his own (thus, by the way, sponging Kafirland from the map.) He engages to keep his people from disturbing the Tambookies, and to be responsible for the lives and property of British subjects within his territory—they, however, making their own agreements with him as to the terms on which they shall be permitted to reside there ; and he further engages to recover and restore stolen cattle, horses, or other property traced into his country, and to punish the thieves ; and also to deliver up murderers, robbers, &c., who may escape into his territories from her Majesty's dominions. These events are in some degree satisfactory to the colonists, as they hold out a prospect of a cessation of those miserable hostilities which have entailed such heavy calamities upon them. For further and more com plete relief from their long continued sufferings they look with confidence to the speedy establishment, under a Reform Ministry and a Reform Parliament, of those free representative institutions which would prevent hereafter what is now found so difficult of cure. MESSAGE FROM SANDILLI. The following message was sent by Sandilli to the Go vernor : " Mali and Math, special messengers, appear before Col. Maclean, Chief Commissioner, and state as follows :- - " Sandilli, Macomo, Anta, and Tola, together with their counsellors, crossed the Kei three days ago ; we left them in Kreli's country at the junction of the T'Somo with the Kei. Stock, Xoxo, and Oba are now on their way to cross the Kei. " When we left, Sandilli was about sending to acquaint Krell that ho had crossed the Kei. " Sandilli ordered us to come direct to Pato, and to ask him to acquaint Maclean that he had crossed the Kei; that he had no more strength to fight with the English ; that ho is beaten and driven from his country; and that ho has obeyed the Governor's `word' by crossing the Kei, and he now asks the Governor where he may desire him to rest in peace. " Sandilli desired us to return quickly with a ' word' 7rom Maclean. " MALI, his mark. " MANI, X his mark." GOVERNMENT NOTICE. Bing William's Town, Feb. 12. Whereas his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief and High Commissioner of British Kafraria is desirous—now that the rebellious Gaika tribe have been expelled from the Ainatolas and other lands formerly occupied by them, but now forfeited to the Crown—that certain townships or vil lages in the' close vicinity of sufficent military posts and garrisons, to provide for their security, should be esta blished without delay; And whereas numerous applications for land have been made by deserving persons who have fought nobly in the ranks of colonial levies and other eorps during the rebel lion now happily suppressed, his Excellency the Com mander-in-Chief and High Commissioner is pleased to or der as follows : I. That, commencing with the Keishamma Hoek—where there is a permanent barrack and fort, and where there is abundance of good land and water, as well as of open land for pasture, with capability of irrigation, there shall be traced and defined a certain surrounding space of not more than one mile radius in the first instance, but to be enlarged hereafter if found expedient, within which space building and garden lots or " erven" shall be laid out. These build ing lots will not exceed a quarter of an acre each, as the first object is to form as compact a town as possible ; but allotment gardens will be laid out, as far as practicable, having a frontage to the river and outside of the space re served for the town ; and these will contain a space of ono acre, or half an acre each, as may be desired, which will be let for one or three years on lease, on easy terms, to holders of " erven" in the town who desire to cultivate them. In like manner larger spaces for cultivation will also be let to persons who may wish to cultivate on a more extensive scale, but in every case gardeners will be required to en close their gardens with a sufficient fence ; the wood and stone in the close neighbourhood will furnish abundant materials. 2. That all persons desiring to become possessed of such .. " erven" may ;lend in their applications in writing, backed by the certificate of the officers under whom they have served, if military, or by a magistrate, if not military, addressed to the resident magistrate at King William's Town. 3. That a board shall be forthwith formed, consisting of the resident magistrate, an officer of Royal Engineers, and one other member whom the Chief Commissioner may think fit to appoint, to consider the said applications and make the allotment accordingly. 4. These grants shall, in the firstinstance, be provisional, and be held on the same tenure as those granted at King William's Town, but to be convertible into freehold or no minal quit rent, as hereinafter provided, on the final set tlement of the district. And should the Crown see fit to abandon the project of the proposed settlement in the Ama tolas, the holders of such grants shall receive an equivalent in land elsewhere, or compensation in money, at the option of the Government, for the value of all dwellings erected on their allotments, also for their fields or garden crops. 5. The said " erven," so granted, shall not be alienable until they shall have been two years in occupation. Each erf so granted must be occupied, and some sort of dwelling built in such position as shall be directed, and inhabited bond fide within six month after the notification of the grant to the applicant, otherwise that grant will be can celled, and the erf transferred to another. And an erf once occupied, and a dwelling constructed, should it be abandoned and left unoccupied for six months, it will in like manner be forfeited, but it will be lawful to let or lend it, so that bond fide occupation be insured. 6. The owners of " erven" will have free commonage for pasture within such limits of the forest of the Amatolas as the officer commanding the post may consider safe, and certain kraals, either common or private, will be constructed at such places as may be selected by an appointed officer of Royal Engineers, and all cattle must be duly brought into kraal at the appointed hours. 7. The free use of all firewood and all such timber as may be required for building or for constructing fences will be granted, but no timber will be cut down and carried away for purposes of trade out of the said forest without licence granted by the Chief Commissioner, on such terms as may be hereafter appointed. 8. Every male inhabitant above the age of 16 will be required to provide himself with a gun and be prepared to assist in defence of his own property and that of the com munity in case of need. 9. The Crown retains right of resumption of any allot ment for public purposes, compensating the holder or occupier. 10. No higher rate of quitrent than ss. per annum for each erf shall be affixed on a town allotment granted within the first limits now appointed. 11. Tools and agricultural implements and garden seeds will be given gratis to each holder of a building lot on occu pation. 12. Rations will be given to the occupiers of " erven" in this new township, for themselves and wives and children, for the first six months from the date of their occupation.

PROCLAMATION. BY MB EXCELLENCY LIEUTENANT-GENERAL THE HON. GEORGE CATHCART. Whereas the independent chief Kreli has recently mani fested a desire for peace and reconciliation with her Ma jesty's Government, and to be again considered her Majes ty's faithful friend ; And whereas, since the invasion of the territory of the said chief in the month of August last, no acts of hostility have been committed by his people, and no participation in the Gaika rebellion subsequent to that period is chargeable to them : And whereas, in token of submission, a fourth instal ment of cattle has been voluntarily sent by the said chief towards the final settlement of the small remaining portion of the fine imposed on him: _ And whereiZs the said chief has also declared himself severely punished, prayed for the remission of the re mainder of the fine, and humbly sued for peace : Now, therefore, I do hereby, on her Majesty's behalf, and by virtue of the powers vested in me, proclaim, de clare, and make known that all those remaining fines of cattle imposed by my predecessors on the said chief Kreli are hereby cancelled, and that peace and amity are hereby restored between her Majesty and the said chief Kreli on the following conditions only : 1. That the said chief Kreli shall continue in all things true and faithful to his engagements. 2. That he shall recognise the line of the Indwe and the Kei as the boundary between her Majesty's territories and his own. 3. That he shall restrain and punish all attempts on the part of his people to disturb the peace of her Majesty's sub jects, either in the lands allotted to the Tambookies or the other tribes within her Majesty's territories, being on the west side of the Indwe and Kei rivers. 4. That in the event of missionaries or traders being again permitted to reside in the country of the said chief Kreli, with his consent, they must conform to such agree ments as they may make for themselves with the said chief. The Governor, on behalf of the British Government, will have nothing to do with any such agreements, but will hold the said chief responsible for the security of the lives and property of those British subjects whom he may allow to live within his territory. . _ _ 5.

God save the Queen. Given under my hand and seal at King William's Town, this 15th day of February, 1853. GEO. CATHCA_RT, Governor and High Commissioner. By command of his Excellency the Governor and High Commissioner. W. F. LIDDLE, Secretary to his Excellency the Governor and her Majesty's High Commissioner. ( From the Shipping Gazette of Feb. 25.) Prospects of peace are at length being manifested on the frontier. , Kreli having deputed his chief counsellor Umhala to sue for peace, his Excellency the Governor has issued a proclamation announcing that this appeal has been complied with upon certain conditions, which are to the effect that he must be faithful to his engage ments, must recognise the line of the Indwe and Kei as the boundary between her Majesty's territories and his own, must assist in recovering stolen property traced into his country, and also further the ends of justice by causing the punishment of any offenders that may trans gress British laws. With respect to missionaries and traders, his Excellency disclaims any intention of inter fering in any of their arrangements beyond holding the chief responsible for the security of their lives and pro perty. Sandilli had also deputed two special messengers to acquaint the Governor that he, with Macomo, Anta, and Tola, had crossed the Kei, and that Stock, Xoxo, and Oba were about to follow ; that he was completely beaten ; and, having obeyed the Governor's " word" by crossing the Kei, "he now asked the Governor where he might desire him to rest in peace." A Government notice has been issued announcing the Governor's intention of forming villages in the Keiskam ma Hoek, the territory formerly occupied by the Gaika tribe, and applications are to be received (preference being given to persons who have been engaged in the present war), for the various allotments of land. His Excellency proposes to make these grants under ex tremely favourable conditions, such as providing the several occupiers with agricultural implements, seeds, and other necessaries, as well as rations for their families for the first six months, an immediate and continued re sidence being a chief stipulation. Each village is to be situated near some fort or garrison, and in case the pro ject should be abandoned by the home Gov ernment,'com pensation is to be made to all who had been located and had been put to expense. Reductions in the various forces hitherto engaged are immediately to take place. The following corps, &c., are to be discontinued at the end of the present month —The Albany Rangers ; the Ist and 2d European Levy, with its officers ; the Shiloh Fingo Levy and its officers; the junior captain and junior subaltern of the Ist Euro pean Corps ; the command, pay, and allowances to Captain Stevenson as commanding the Mancazana dis trict ; and the Garrison Sergeant-Major at Whittlesea. It is reported that the chief Kama has visited his Ex cellency at King William's Town, and that the object of his visit was to propose removal from Kamastone, his present location, to a position along the Keiskamma, as a kind of frontier defence. FRONTIER. (From the Graham's Town Journal Extra.) Since our Saturday's issue we have communications from British Kaffraria to the 11th instant. From these we learn that Kreli had sent home 90 lead of cattle in further payment of his debt of 1,500 head, two thirds of which are still due. These cattle are said to be of a very inferior description, but on which we need not remark, as their actual value will be as certained when sold, as we are informed they were to be forthwith. In all matters of this character it should be kept carefully in mind that the payment or non-payment of a fine is only regarded so far as it tests in any degree the true feelings towards the colony of the party or people from whom it is demanded. In the pre sent case the payment of 1,500 head of cattle would be a very light infliction, and bear no proportion whatever to the offences given by the Gakas and the property of British subjects openly pillaged or wantonly destroyed by them. Krell has shown himself to be utterly faithless, and as weak as he is vicious. With such a man any re liance we may place on diplomacy is absurd. Ile is quite incapable of understanding, neither will he respect, any thing save the strong arm, and if this be not extended to him, then we may depend upon it he will give us no credit for magnanimity, but will attribute to incapacity and fear what may actually spring from motives of a very opposite character. It should never be lost sight of for a moment that in mistaken dealing with the natives may be found all our difficulties. Wrapt up in our own fancied superiority, we enter upon schemes which are utterly incongruous to the habits and train of thought of those with whom we have to deal. They look amazed at our folly, but at the same time are not slow in turning to account our weak nesses and our blunders. Who does not perceive that Kreli is at this moment feeling the pulse of the colony ? Who can be unaware of the duplicity of Umhala, or the strong bias which that crafty ol d c h ief has manifested i fully convince during the whole of the prese n t w ar ? We may shut .:air eyes to these facts, and fancy that the Kalirs are as blind ourselves — and a pu purpose, ofwhich h will pretend t e y .1 be but it is t oill so, only as toserve us in the long run.. f;omthe Official documents which have come to hand it seems that his Excellency the Governor has entered upon the rather delicate and difficult task of reducing the war establishment. This is no doubt unavoidable, as in fact there is no visible enemy with w h om to contend. Amongs t e other reductions we remark the dis con ti nu ance of the Albany Rangers, and this i s d ue to that lody of gau,'ext ! men, that they should not b e di s b an d e d w ithout an pression of that publi c commendation of which they are deserving.

This involves the exclusion of natives and Kafirs, and the maintenance of considerable and watchful force among the mountains. Sandilli had aban - loned his hopeless contest with the British power, and, agreeably to the require ments of the Governor, had retired from Kafraria. He had announced this fact, acknowledged his de feat, and signified his submission. By the last ad vices. he was beyond the Kei, together with Ma como, Anta, and Tola, so that the Kafire war to all appearance was closed.

(From the Times.) The intelligence which reached us yesterday from the seat of war in the Burmese Empire, and also from the eastern boundaries of the Cape of Good Hope, happily warrants a belief in the speedy termination of these harassing conflicts. In Asiatic monarchies the usual consequence of pressure applied to the State by a foreign enemy is a revolution in the palace, and Sovereigns, ac countable to no other law, are commonly made the vic tims of their own presumption and obstinacy by the disaffection and jealousy of their nearest relatives. A catastrophe of this sort appears to have occurred at the Court of Ava. The Golden-footed Monarch, who was inaccessible to the remonstrances of the British Govern. ment, and who defied the languid attacks of General Godwin, finds himself surrounded by more dangeious enemies. A younger brother, who is said t o b e sup ported by the army, has declared against the Sovereign, and it may reasonably be hoped that the next accounts will apprise us that the Prince whose obstinacy has led to these hostilities is deposed. His successor will probably mount the throne with the assent of the British Government in India, and he will inaugurate his reign by relieving the country from the severe httrd. ships which the blockade and occupation of the great rivers have inflicted on the population. Such, at least, is the ordinary course which events have followed in similar disputes with the potentates of the East ; and, although no confidence can be placed in the assurances of an Asiatic prince who ascends the throne under such circumstances, it is probable that the prime movers of the war at the Court of Ava will have fallen in this dis turbance, and that the first care of the new Government will be to restore peace. The provinces of Pegu and Bassein have already been evacuated by the enemy, and the Burmese forces are more concentrated in the vicinity , of the capital. Ambassadors had, however, already ar rived on a pacific mission in General Godwin's camp ; and there is strong reason to hope that the ;principal labour of the campaign is at an end. -•-• Unhappily this gratifying improvement in the general state of our affairs upon the Irrawaddy is clouded by an incident of a very melancholy and distressing character. We knew, from the last advices, that an attack was about to be made upon a strong position at Donabew, where a marauding chief, with upwards of a thousand followers, had occupied the square of the Pagoda, and ejected the head man of the town, who had been faithful to the British throughout the war. These marauders, or dacoits, as they were called in the army, had already given the forces some trouble, for they occupy a country covered with jungle and intersected with creeks, in the unknown delta of the river. Very recently a squadron of boats and a steamer had been sent against them, and had returned with loss, never having seen the enemy, though they ascended a narrow creek, staked in several places, and were exposed to a galling fire. It was therefore thought necessary to renew the attack on these formidable robbers with a larger force, and Captain Granville Lock, the flag-captain of the Winchester, who had already shown the greatest activity and ability in maintaining the communication by water between Prome and Rangoon, determined to lead this enterprise in per son ; for, since his arrival on the station last autumn, he has been foremost wherever there was an enemy to be encountered or a service to be performed. We learn from the brief tenour of the telegraphic dispatch, which gives us no further particulars, that the result of this attack proved most unfortunate. It was repulsed by the natives with very severe loss, amounting to no less than 88 killed and wounded out of a party which cannot have exceeded 300 or 400. Two guns were also lost ; and, as if to render this disas ter the most painful occurrence in the campaign, it was marked by the death of Captain Loch himself, who com manded the expedition, and of Lieutenant Kennedy, of the Fox, while several other officers and mates were se verely wounded. We must await the arrival of the mails for further information on the causes of this cala- mity ; but throughout the service there will be one feel ing of deep regret for the premature loss of these gallant gentlemen. Captain Granville Loch had found oppor tunities to distinguish himself even during a period of general peace. In 1841 he was posted, and in the following year he went out in the Dido to serve as a volunteer on the staff of Lord Gough in the war in China ; he was also present with Sir Henry Pottin ger at all the conferences which terminated that war ; and in 1846 he obtained the command of the Alarm (26), then on the West India station. In this capacity Captain Loch conducted a very spirited expe dition in boats up the river San Juan de Nicaragua (the scene of one of Nelson's early exploits), which enabled him to adjust the differences then existing between the British Government and the Nicaraguan Republic, and to dictate a treaty with that state. For this service he received from her Majesty the Order of the Bath, upon the recommendation of Lord Palmerston. In 1852 Captain Loch was appointed by the Duke of Northum berland to the command of the Winchester, 50, which was ordered to relieve the Hastings as flag-ship in the East Indies. So that, by a singular coincidence, his short but brilliant career was chiefly remarkable for his services in river warfare on the Yang-tse-Kiang, the San Juan de Nicaragua, and the Irrawaddy. Shortly after his arrival at Rangoon Admiral Austin died of cholera. . The Commodore remained with the squadron off the coast, and the command of the river devolved principally on Captain Loch. I n k sp e l p . t t e t o h f e a c n o m oppressive munica ti o c n i ism open,at climate an d a n a d h a succeeded,r a ssingenemy h against e enormous odds, in compelling the Burmese to retire, in great measure, from the stockades and positions they held on the banks. In one of these desperate but ob scure encounters against a band of barbarous enemies he is now reported to have fallen at the head of a fright ful number of his comrades and men, on whose courage and steadiness he placed unbounded reliance, for they, too, knew their leader ; and, though no death can be more glorious than that of a British officer who falls in the command of seamen and troops, and in the dis charge of his duty to England, we are painfully re minded by such an occurrence at how great a price the warfare between civilisation and barbarism is carried on, for Captain Loch wanted nothing to complete his fame but a nobler enemy and a more conspicuous field of action. These considerations, which the loss of such of f icers a s Captain Loch in Burmah, and Major Wilmot, W i t h many others, at the Cape, naturally suggest, increase our satisfaction at the probable termination of these fatal campaigns. At the Cape, it appears that Governor Cathcart has not only subdued the tribes on the frontier, but, what is of more importance, has closed the disputed transactions with them. Mosheish is at peace ; Basuta land is tranquil ; Sandilla and Macomo have retired be yond the Kei, and announced their submission ; and peace and amity have been restored between the British Government and Kreili, with the Kei for a boundary. T ha h v e e se ye a t re reoe by ive f d ar of th t e he most complete accounts we war is is knews. discomfiture of the enemy, and, in spite of the di s t rust with which we cannot regard r e thatanything the vi h Kafraria, it seems more atprobable an good than it has ever butdone befo We still learn, ae n from British indeed, with some that the Governor apprehension, has resolved to convert the Amatolas into a military settlement, On a syst em which seem analogous to that of the military frontier of Austria ; but it is, perhaps, necessary to guard that mountainous region from again becoming a fastness and retreat for predatory bands of Kafirs, and we hope the sturdy farmers of Southern Africa will be induced by allotments of Crown,lands to hold this position. At any rate, this is the last time that England will submit to the cost and loss attending the employment 'of a large army in a war against savages for the defence of a territory utterly worthless to ourselves. Now that the honour of th e Q ueen ' s arms is retrieved, and the p ower of t his country vindicated, the abandonment of these remote and unproductive pro vinces would be preferable to any attempt to hold th em on such terms. When we have placed the colonial po pulation of the Cape in the most favourable conditions for self-defence, we have done all that we can reasonably be required to do ; and, if that is not enough for their protection, the next step must be to draw the colony within limits in which a more compact population and a greater proximity to the scat of government will insure its tranquillity. A WHOLESALE POLYGAMIST.—A fellow named Joseph Wardle was, in September last, committed by the dis trict magistrates to Gloucester gaol, to await his trial for bigamy at the spring assizes. It has since been as certained that the prisoner has married as many as six wives, all of whom are now living--namely, one at Mancher, two in Staffordshire, one in the Isle of Man, the fifth at Birmingham, and the last at Dymock. Wardle's plan appears to have been to obtain a sum of money from each newly-make bride, and then desert her. All the wives, it is believed, will be present At 09 I%6PlZefi,—Cantbrian,
