Cathcart, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the settlement of the Cape of Good Hope, in South Africa, and of the dependencies thereof, Ordinary and Vice- Admiral of the same, and her Majesty's High Com missioner for the settling and adjustment of the affairs of the territories in Southern Africa, adjacent and contiguous to the eastern and north-eastern fron tier of the said colony, and Governor of British Kaffraria._ " Whereas the rebellious Gaika people have now been driven oat of the Amatolas and all other Gaika lands, and are dispersed —some having fled beyond the Kei, and others wandering about without homes : " And whereas the said people have ceased, for several months past, to resist the Queen's troops, or to commit thefts of cattle or offences against her Majesty's loyal subjects} "And whereas the hereditary chief Sandilli, to whose fortunes, although deposed, the said people have con tinned devotedly attached, and other minor chiefs asso ciated with him who have caused all these evils, have at length, in ob e dience to the Governor's ' word,' crossed the Kei, and have acknowledged that they have been subdued, and humbly crave pardon and an allotment of some other land where they may be allowed to rest in peace : " And whereas it appears that the time has arrived when an opportunity ought to be given to this misguided people to be restored to habits of peace and good order, and to be placed in a situation to return to their duty and allegiance to her Majesty, under the efficient restraint and control of some acknowledged and responsible chief : " Now, therefore, I do hereby proclaim, declare, and make known, that, considering her Majesty's authority has been vindicated, and that sufficient punishment has been inflicted, and with a view to the re-establishment of peace and good order, I hereby extend the Royal mercy and pardon to the said chief Sandilli and the Gaika people. "And I further proclaim, declare, and make known that, although the said chief and chieftains and the Gaika people cannot be allowed to return to tho Amatolas and their other former lands,which have all been forfeited to the Crown, are now in possession of her Majesty's troops, and will be reserved as Crown lands, to be dis posed of according to her Majesty's pleasure, they will nevertheless be permitted, under the responsibility of their hereditary chief Sandilli, to live in peace in another portion of British Kaffraria further removed from the colonial frontier—that is to say, the country between the Kei and the great north road leading to the Windvogel berg, and bounded on the north by the Thomas River, and on the south by de country of the chief Umhala, on the following conditions : " 1. That the chief Sandilli, in token of submission, shall deliver up one hundred guns, in addition to the arms stolen by the Kafir police, and become responsible for the good conduct of the Gaika tribe. "2. That Cie chief Sandilli and all the people under him shall in all things remain true and faithful in their allegiance to the Queen, and obedient to her Majesty's commands, conveyed through the Governor and the Chief Commissioner, Colonel Maclean, or his deputies, as heretofore. " 3. That each minor chief lately in rebellion, before he be permitted to reside in British Kaffraria, shall de liver np, in token of his submission, his own arms, and bind himself to obey her Majesty's commands, convoyed as aforesaid, under the responsibility and control of the said chief Sandilli, failing which he will continue to be held to be an outlaw, and dealt with accordittgly: "4. That the said chief Sandilli shall _ make an allot ment of land to each of the said minor chiefs, his depen dents, who may .have returned to their allegiance, within the country hereby allotted to him, wherein they shall dwell under his responsibility for their true and loyal conduct in future. " a. That the said chief Sandilli shall also be held re sponsible for the security of the great high road and the property of travellers frequenting it, in the same man ner as Pato and 'Siwani are hound to protect the high roads which pass through their country. " Be it, however, hereby made known that this gene ral pardon will not extend beyond British Kaffraria, and that any Kafir chief, or others, who may enter and be apprehended within the colony, will, notwithstanding this pardon, be amenable to justice, ac co rdi ng t o colo nial law, for any crimes they may have committed within the said colony ; and, if found trespassing within the Amatolas, they will be dealt with by summary jus tice under martial law. " And, lastly, I do hereby proclaim, declare, and make known, that no Hottentot will be allowed to settle within the country hereby allotted to the said Gaika tribes without special sanction being first obtained from me. " God save the Queen "Given under my hand and seal, at King William's Town, this 2d day of March, 1853. " GEORGE CATHCART, "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 Com missioner." The chiefs listened attentively while the above terms were read and carefully explained to them ; they then retired and held a consultation among themselves which lasted four h ours . Th e i r op i n i ons of the conditions may be gathered from the speech of Sandilli on their return to the Envoy. He thanked the Governor for his message. He said, however, that the territory assigned was not large enough to support them ; and was, besides, partly the property of Umh a l a , p ar tly that of Kreili, both chiefs at peace with the English. Thrown upon this territory, the Gaikas would be intruders, and this would lead to war. As to delivering up the guns, this, he said, would be just with regard to the arms of the native police who had departed from the English ; they were dishon ourably obtained • but the men were now sc att ere d among all the different tribes, and it would require much time to collect all the guns together. He would give up a hundred muskets as a token of submission, but their own arm s th e y wou ld k eep, "to fight for the Queen of the English." Sandilli repeated that the ground assigned them by the Governor was not enough • and, as he supposed his Excellency could not alter the conditions by which the Gaikas were expelled from their own country, he hoped the General would send a sup plication on their behalf to the Queen of England, that their lands might be restored to them, or they would have "to go to war with each other for grass !" The conference then broke up. It is by no means improbable that the contingency anticipated by Sandilli at the close of his address will sooner or later arrive, and that this condition of the present peace contains the germ of another war. If the -Kafirs are driven to fight each other " for grass," or, in other words, for existence, they will very likely prefer joining together and trying another conflict with us for the recovery of the territory they evidently still regard as their own. Persons who know the country state that the first drought will be speedily followed by a renewal of hostilities. For the moment, however, there is an inclination here to hope the best, and to think that General Cathcart has good reasons for exacting this condi tion. The Cape Town Commercial Advertiser remarks asto the treaty— " The terms thus granted are moderate and humane, and therefore wise. It is believed by those who know the Kafirs that no terms more severe would have been accepted by them. It is time to treat with them as men, which they have proved themselves to be, both in the field a n d i n the council. The grand error with many is to regard t h em as children, and to speak of them as beasts. They are neither the one nor the other." It should be added that by the colonists on and near the frontier the expulsion of the Gaikas beyond the Kei is fully approved ; they have, indeed, stated that the Governor would not do his duty if he con cluded peace on any o th er terms. The conditions of th e treaty having been accepted by the Kafir chiefs, General Cathcart appointed a day for an interview with them it took place on the 9th of March, a the Yellow ; seven miles from King William's Town. °Nr cia 7z re d u s t 150 Kafirs attended the meeting • the offi gives the following list of the Glika. chiefs present on the occasion : "Each chief was attended by his Amapakati, or councillors." The Governor himself road the treaty to the chiefs, Mr. Brownlee acting as interpreter. They appeared to be in good spirits, said, " They were glad to be taken out of the bush," and thanked his Excellency " for giving them a coutry to live in ;" repeating, however, their objection, that it was " too small, altogether too small ;" it comprised only the territory formerly held by a petty chief called Toise, and therefore would "never be enough for so large a tribe as themselves," and again urged the Governor to present their prayer to the Queen with regard to it. The Graham's Town Journal publishes, by authority, a report of the whole conference, in the form of a dialogue be tween the Governor and Macomo, who was the spokesman of the Kafirs on the occasion. Macomo is the elder brother of Sandilli, who, it is said, in commencing this and the former war, acted against his advice. On the part of the Governor the fol lowing address was read to the chiefs by the inter preter : " Chiefs,--I am glad that lam now able to meet you as friends, and as good subjects of our good and great Queen. " Chiefs--I look to you for the good conduct of your people. " I have seen how truly your people have adhered to you, their chiefs, and how you can make them happy or miserable by leading them right or wrong, as you choose. Let me see that you, Sandilli, and you, M ac omo, as well as the other G a ik a chiefs, are as good and as true to the Queen, our great chief, as your people have been to you. "The chiefs Pato, Siwani, Umhala, Kama, and Toise, with others, wisely refused to join you in rebellion ; they listened to the words of Maclean, and remained unmolested, enjoying the pleasure of peace. "Maclean is now in the place of Mackinnon, and he, as my mouth, will live among you and govern you under me, in the Queen's name. " While it is war between us, I cannot talk with the enemies of the Queen until they are subdued, and beg for peace, and are forgiven. " Now that you are forgiven, and it is peace with you, Sandilli, my ears will be open to hear - your word, and I. have placed Brownlee here, to listen to your wished regarding the welfare of your people, and he will carry them to Maclean and me. He will give you good advice, which if you listen to, you and your people will escape much trouble. "Let - there be no more cattle-stealing, and then I shall hope to see you sitting happily in peace, your gar dens flourishing, and your cattle feeding and increasing along the rivers, and that the Queen's army will never be called upon to punish any chief or tribe of Kafirs for crimes committed against the colony, or for rebellion against the Queen." His Excellency added, that if the chiefs wished to say anything he was ready to hear them. Ma como replied :-- "We have but one word to say, and to thank. We thank the Governor for taking us out of the bush, and for giving us a place to live in. When a chief errs, he is punished and forgiven. This young man (Sandilli) erred, and has been punished, and is now forgiven, but the country you have given him is too small. Toise, who formerly occu pi e d it, h a d but a small tribe. Sandilli has a large one, which will not find room there. " Governor.—These are things you should have thought of before you went to war. I know that Toise has but a small tribe, and that it never half filled the country allotted him. "Macomo.—We look to you to speak for us, and to represent our case to the Queen. We are her subjects. When settled in the country allotted us, Kreili, Umhala, and Toise will affect to be satisfied, but will regard us as intruders, and this will cause constant heartburmngs between us. " Governor,—/ will send your words to the Queen, but I will give you no hope of ever again occupying the Amatolas, as when you were there you were constantly plotting mischief, and cannot be trusted there again.". At the conclusion of the meeting, and after the Governor had left, the chiefs and their people thronged round Colonel Maclean, their new Chief Commissioner, wh om th ey greeted with great cor diality. There are no later accounts from the frontier. Subjoined are a few extracts from the colonial journals on the termination of the war : (Eastern Province News, March 5.) " We have already noticed the evacuation of the Ama , tolas. The expulsion of the Gaikas from that fine territory is a very important measure. The Gaikas have been fighting for their lands, and they have been worsted. In the memory of living men their frontiers once touched the Uitenhage township borders ; now, through a suc cession of wars extending over no long period, they are driven back some 200 miles, without hope of recovering again an inch of their forfeited territory. The colonists have suffered by these wars, but it amounts to some thing worse than absurdity to affirm that the Kafirs - have not been yet far &eater losers. What progress have they made in wealth, or in kequisition of any kind, during the last quarter of a century of wars, compared with that which they would have undoubtedly made during a like period of peace ? HoW poor their condi tion, compared with that of the Basutos, who have had peace fer the last 15 years ! We trust that war will at last appear even to the Gaikas the very losing game which it proves. There is nothing to be recovered by it. Each war carries them further backward and down ward. Their next effort may leave them without any territory wherein to rest." (From the Cape Town Commercial Advertiser, March 21.) " The frontier post of Saturday brought no news. The 'peace is criticised with much severity in the frontier journal; more moderately in some of the Port Elizabeth papers. That the peace must long be an armed one, if the present frontier is to be preserved, is clear, but this would not have been less clear had the war been prosecuted until the Gaikas were exterminated or driven over the Kei. It is for military men to deter mine what amount and description of force will be re quired to protect the colonial frontier, to preserve obe dience within British Caffraria, and to present a front to the tribes beyond the Kei and the Orange River. Speaking of British Caffraria only, Sir George Napier and Sir s Peregrin Maitland suggested 5,000 or 7,000 men; experience in the war just closed, and the exten sion of British sovereignty to the Vaal River, will pro bably incline them to add 3,000 more. Taking all charges into account for the support of such an army, in such a country, the British Treasury would scarcely come out under a million sterling a-year. This can hardly be expected, and therefore some less expensive means of defence for the old colony will have to be de vised." That there are many'persons dissatisfied with the change to a state of peace is proved by the neces sity of publishing the following general order, which was issued by Governor Cathcart immedia tely after his return to King William's Town : " Head-quarters, King William's Town, March 8. " The Commander-in-Chief has reason to believe that there are certain persons, followers of the army in Bri tish Caffraria, resident within the military rayon of the post of King William's Town, who have been so base as to attempt to obstruct the restoration of peace by their evil designs, false rumours, and other nefarious means, with a view to prolong their own profitable deal ings, which the restoration of peace may probably limit in extent. "Be it known, therefore, that such conduct amounts to high treason, and will be dealt w ith accor di ng l y . " It is hereby commanded that all officers, non-com missioned officers, and soldiers, and all magistrates, do use their utmost endeavours to detect and bring to jus tice miscreants so offending. " Such offenders, when so brought to justice, should they not be summarily dealt with as they deserve, by the infliction of the immediate punishment of death under martial law, but be mercifully brought to a general court-martial, either in British Caffraria or other dis tricts, in which martial law prevails, and be duly con victed of the said heinous offence, the president and members of such general courts-martial are hereby re minded, that the prisoner being tried under the 108th article of war, the powers of the Court extend to im prisonment with hard labour for life; and their sentence, when duly approved, will be carried into effect in one of the convict stations within the colony of the Cape of Good Hope, under a colonial ordinance which has been passed as a provision for such cases. "A. J. CLOETE, Quartermaster-General. "By command of his Excellency the Governor and Commander of the Forces. " CHARLES SEYMOUR, Lieutenant-Colonel, Military Secretary." Some of the " traders general dealers, and in habitants " of King William's Town felt aggrieved by the above order, and drew up an address, pray ing his Excellency to allow them to disprove the " base and malicious insinuations made by spme evil person or persons," on which they supposed the order was founded ; 38 signatures were placed to it. This address received the, following reply : " King William's Town, March 9. "Gentlemen —I am direct e d b y hi s E xce ll ency the Governor to acknowledge the receipt of your memorial of this date. The Alecto, lying at Lagos, with the Britomart, was ordered to get her steam up immediately, and both ves sels started--Britomart in tow of Alecto—for Cape Coast, where they anchored on the evening of the Ist of April. The arrival of the two men-of-war evidently inspired the natives with great confidence. The Ashantees to the number before mentioned (10,000 or 12,000), on finding about 140 officers and men of the Gold Coast Corps, together with about 6,000 Native Auxiliaries, prepared to check their further progress, came to a halt. One of the English officers (Lieutenant Brownhill), who had full powers from the Governor to enter into negotiations, very gallantly gave himself up to the Ashantees as a hostage for the prisoners confined in the castle. On this being communicated to Governor Hill, the two Ashantee Chiefs, with their followers, were immediately liberated and escorted to the Ashantee camp ; but the Ashantees were not so ready to give back Lieutenant Brownhill, and several days' tedious negotiation was the result. The Governor, however, seeing nothing could be done in that way, sent and called out the neighbouring tribes under British protec tion to his assistance, and in the short space of 48 hours an addition was made to our auxiliary brie of nearly 8,000 men. A message was then sent to the head chief of the Ashantee army, informing him that if he did not within 24 hours liberate Lieutenant Brown hill, and express proper contrition for their aggressive act, war would be formally declared, and immediate measures taken for overrunning their country and marching on Coomassie, their capital. The Ashantees, finding, for once, the English "deter- mined," and not inclined to put up with their vacilla tion, thought discretion the better part of valour, and not only immediately liberated Lieutenant Brownhill with all honours and everything else required of them, but commenced their immediate march into their own country. So at present rests the affair. The chiefs of tribes under our protection pronounce this ready obedience of the Ashantees as only a blind to measures ultimately intended, and disappointment rather than exultation at the pacific result appears to prevail. Could Coomassie, the Ashantee capital, be taken, the greatest highway to the civilisation of Africa woald be opened, and it could be done much more easily than is generally imagined. It must have been very gratifying to the Governor of Cape Coast to find the summons he sent to the few tribes so readily obeyed, and it is well known that in the course of two months a force (irregular certainly) of 30,000 men would be ready to act in concert witl the English. The country about and beyond Coomassie is ride in gold, and the climate is spoken of as most salubrious. The prevailing belief among those versed in the character of these people is, that after the pres en t rains, that , is about November or December ne x t, the Ashantees will make another and more or ganised descent. Should they do so, their re peated aggressions will certainly deserve punish ment, and should the opinion of the present energetic Governor of the colony have its due weight three months will see Coomassie ours. The King of Daho mey, with less powerful, but not less troublesome, chiefs, will, on finding us so determined, be too ready to act in concert with us for the amelioration of Africa, if they do not actually place themselves under the British flag. The above has been the state of affairs at Cape Coast for the last three weeks. Three English men-of-war are lying off the place, but they now disperse to their dif ferent stations—Britomart and Alecto to Ascension,, and the Polyphemus, lately arrived, to Lagos. The slave trade is evidently showing signs of returning animation. The Ferret took a prize a week or two ago ; no slaves, but about 200 doubloons on board. Several vessels are reported to have got away with slaves—not from any want of activity among the cruisers, but be cause they come over fully protected, by flying the American flag and having American papers. They are, on theirarrival, sold to the slave dealers; the American portion of the .crew are landed, others take their place, and a vessel that at 8 o'clock in the morning was a bona fide Americap, at 8 o'clock in the evening is a Brazilian with 400 slaves on board, and starting on her voyage. As a case in point, the captain of a vessel called the Jasper, under American colours, sold his vessel, and took his passage in :the last packet (the Faith) for England. LAGOS, MA.RCII 28. Lagos at present has quite an animated appearance. There are nine sail of merchant vessels lying here, al though where the palm oil that they say they are come for is to be procured I know not. •The late misunderstanding between the Abeyakoutan chiefs and missionaries on one side, and the political measures of the senior officer of the Bights' division on the other, was very happily settled by the timely arrival of the admiral. A large town, about 60 miles from Abeyakouta, called Accha, has been made a missionary station, the Rev. Mr. Hinderer with his amiable wife having taken up their resi dence there. Three missionaries were landed from this last packet. One remains at Lagos, one goes to Abeya kouta, and one to Accha. The Rev. Mr. Golmer, resi dent missionary here, is most indefatigable in his ardu ous duties, and we cannot but admire men who give up a'l for the good cause. Mr. Fraser, the present Vice-Consul, is to be super seded by Mr. Benjamin Campbell, a resident of 20 years on the coast, and a gentleman every way conversant with the native character, who will doubtless prove him self a very valuable acquisition to this rising town and its dependencies. "His Excellency has no reason to doubt that the in habitants of King William's Town who signed the me morial are all honest men and loyal subjects, and, if they are so, the general order can have no reference to them.

The General Screw Steam Navigation Company's ship Harbinger, Captain Lane, from Southampton, to Port Phillip and Sydney, arrived here at 8 o'clock last night, all well. The Harbinger has had a very fine passage of 37 days from Southampton ; she will take in coal and water, and proceed im mediately to Port Phillip. The Queen of the South, Captain Norman, be longing to the same company, from Southampton to the Mauritius and India, arrived here on the 20th, after a splendid passage of 32 days from Plymouth.

THE CAMP AT CHOBTLIM.---100 men of the 95th Regi ment of Foot, stationed at Chatham, left their barracks there on Friday last, and came up by the North Kent Railway from Strood to London, and thence to the Waterloo terminus, en route to the station at Chertsey,' being the nearest station of the railway to Chobham-coni mon.

The Star, 8, Commander Warren, arrived at Spithead yesterday, from Chatham, • - Some important and interesting practice was exhibited yesterday and Friday from the Excellent's two-gun battery upon the York, 74, hulk, moored as a butt for shot and shell expeziments. A quantity of live shell and powder was placed on board the York, between her beams overhead and in other situations, hitherto sup posed out of the reach of danger. The object was to test the practicability of blowing the ship up. During the trial several shells have exploded, but the " blowing up" was not accomplished. The Port-Admiral, Admiral- Superintendent, the officers of the fleet, and others of the military service, have been present at the experi ments, which will be continued. Prince Albert was expected to have been present on Friday, but the weather, it is said, prevented his Royal Highness making the trip... The Illustrious, 72, having been partially prepared, at no inconsiderable expense, for three different purposes, and applied to none, remains at Haslar-creek, a stand ing, or rather floating, joke upon Admiralty harmony of intention and consistency. Originally fitted for a block ship, then found to be too weak, she was rigged 'as a gunnery-ship and for exercising newly-raised men. That project, we believe, was the First Lord's, and, carried out by Captain Ch a d s , w ou ld h ave b een of utility. This was upset, and the unfortunate Illustrious was fitted for an hospital -ship, the Agamemnon fever having again changed the Admiralty cue, but the "hospital-ship" has had no patients, tior is she ever likely to have any.

MANCHESTER, May 19.—Since Tuesday last there is little or no change to report in the state of our market. The firmness which then characterised it has been fully maintained; and when any change has taken place, it has generally been in favour of the producer. There seems to be a struggle going on between the buyer and the seller, the former being willing to place orders at the prices of last week, and the latter refusing to accept them at an advance upon former transactions. Alto gether the business 'of the week has been but moderate ; though there is no, doubt it would have been much larger had it not been that spinners and manufacturers have felt their position in relation to their workpeople to be such as to cause the stoppage of their mills at an early period ; and for that reason many contracts have been declined. We think it may not be inoppprtune, at the present moment, to state what appear to us as insuper able objections to the new condition which it is sought to impose on the right to return fraudlently packed cotton. The trade are but too well aware, from experience, that the adulteration of this article has been carried to a far greater extent in the present than in any former year. The admixture of sand, and the introduction of an in ferior wool, or of leaves, sticks, and stones, so inclosed within wool of the quality professedly packed, as to pre vent detection by the very imperfect mode of examina tion now in use, has indeed grown into an evil of such magnitude as to call for the application, not of a less, but of a more effectual counteraction than has hitherto been adopted by those whe suffer most from a system of fraud becoming so disgraceful to the American planters. It has heretofore been the rule that sticks, stones, leaves, and inferior wool are returnable to the 'importer at the price paid for them. On the suggestion of the American Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool, .and with the con currence of the Directors of the Chamber of Commerce and the Commercial Association of • Manchester, it has, however, been determined by the Cotton Brokers' Association of Liverpool, that all returns shall father be replaced by an approved quality, or _paid for at the prices of the day on which such returns shall take place. Now, trivial as this altera tion may appear to be, it is one whose operation will certainly be adverse to the interests of the 'trade. Should the market rise, the buyer will hardly trouble himself to send back an inferior cotton which has become worth somewhere about as much as will be allowed, to' him for that better article whichhewas to have received. There can be no doubt that dishonest planters will derive encouragement in their mal-practices from this sort of calculation. Should the market fall, the buyer will' receive back less than he paid both for sticks and for bad cotton. • In either of these supposed cases, the ends of the unprincipled will be promoted by the new rule. But how is the day's value of the returned cotton to be determined ? The spinner will not leave this to the selling broker ; nor will the' merchant leave it to the buying broker. The two brokers are pretty sure to dis agree, and the point must be referred to other parties'. The . settlement will thus be attended with a degree of trouble and cost which, in many cases, will manifestly operate. as a motive with the buyer to submit to the original in justice, rather than go through so vexatious a process. The old rule has the merit of simplicity, and of a fairness which is obvious at first sight. No referees are to be called in to settle present . values. The spinner says to the merchant "here is your own invoice : pay me ac cording to that ;" and the merchant addresses himself in the same way to the planter.'- It is for the trade to take care that this straightforward practice shall not give place to one which, by lessening it he buyer's chance of redres sing a wrong, and by , diminishing his motive for ma king the attempt, must diieCtly- tend to encourage the wrong-doer. Without in' the slightest degree im pugning the Motives' of ,importers, we may take it as quite natural that they-should be in favour of an 'altera tion which is calculated to Bali() them a good deal of troublesome back-reckoning with distant correspondents, and to throvi upon other people losses which they them selves, are in all fairness, bound to see adjusted. But it is singular that any buying 'broker should so far fail to perceive the _true interests of their principals, as to sanction a rule which renders the means of settling dis putes increasingly complicated, and,, therefore, less likely to prove satisfactory. Let spinners be assured that if the point in question be &needed, it will not be long before they are again called' upon to agree to a 'shortening of the time for the return of packed cotton from twelve to six months. • Name of Company. per of Paid.

The various items of ex penditure on the Durham University, in augmentations of livings, the construction of parsonage houses, &c., amounted to 4;2511. in 1852 ; and the total of such ex penditure since 1841 is 35,2801. The return was ob tained on the motion of Lord Adiaplius Vane. THE STEAM RESERVE. The Blenheim, screw, 60, Captain Henderson, C. 13., has beep exercising her Prew in firing blank cartridge, and they are regularly trained and carefully instructed in all their exercises—Boys -and ordinary seamea with sails and yards daily, in addition to the duties of the reserve. _ _ The Gorgon, paddle, 6, is rigged, and ships her guns this week. The Conflict, screw, 9, waits orders relative to her propeller, but is otherwise ready to join the first or ad vanced division. _ The Stromboli, paddle, 6, shifted outwards on Friday, and removed 600 officers and men, women, and children of the 85th Regiment, from Cowes to Southampton, yes terday morning, en route by railway to Bristol. The Stromboli was in charge of Commander Gardner and Lieutenant Reynolds, of the Blenheim. The Vesuvius, paddle, 6, the Hecla, paddle, 6, and the Bulldog, paddle, 6, remain ready for service. The latter received her new tanks on Friday. The Plumper, screw, 9, is being rigged for commis sion by' Lieutenant L. Reynolds, with a division from the Blenheim. WOOLWICH, MAY 14.& APPOINTMENTS. Captain the Hon. g:T. Carnegie (1841), from the com mand of the Horatio, 24, screw steam-guard-ship, at Sheerness, to command the Tribune, 30, screw steam frigate, commissi one d thi s day at Woolwich. Lieutenant Henry W. Wrigjit (1848) to the Nerbudda, 12, brig, at Chath am . _ _ Mate- - -I:lenry J. Urquhart (1852), from the Rodney, 90, to the Comus, 14, sloop, at Sheerness. Second Master—John P. Dillon (1848) to the Fisgard flag-ship, at Woolwich. Naval Cadet—C. J. Pears° to the London, 90, on the Mediterranean station. The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master Commander John E. Petley, received orders at a late hour on Friday evening to proceed with the least possible delay round, to Portsmouth, and left Woolwich at 4 o'clock a.m. to day for that destination. The Phoenix, screw steam-sloop, Command er Ed war d A. Inglefield, left Woolwich about half-past five o'clock a.m. to-day, having Mr. Taplin, second assistant to the chief engineer, on board, to report on her speed and working of the engines when tried with all her stores on board and complete in every respect for her intended voyage. On arriving at the measured mile at Sea Reach the time was taken, and on the average of four runs, two down and two up, her speed was found to be 7 2-10 knots per hour, the engines working very satisfactorily. The Phoenix returned to Greenhithe, and was brought up at moorings at that station to have her compasses adjusted. The Diligence, store-ship, left Woolwich shortly after four o'clock a.m. to-day, towed by the Monkey, and will be brought up and remain at the Nore until the whole of the vessels of the Arctic squadron leave the river on their enterprising expedition. The Deeperate screw steam-sloop, Captain William W. Chambers, left Woolwich this afternoon for Green hithe, where she will remain until the Phoenix has had her compasses adjusted, and some experiments made in taking distance ; and when these are completed the Desperate will take the Phoenix in tow as Tar as the Orkney Islands, in order that the latter vessel may hus band her ,coals, and enter the Arctic regions under the most favourable circumstances. The Manceuvrer lighterbas taken on board a por tion of the castings and machinery of the James Watt, 90, screw steam-ship, for conveyance to Devonport. The Rhadamanthus, .Master-Commander Belam, is undergoing a thorough renovation at this port, prepara tory to further service in the conveyance of troops. MORE DESERTIONS IN THE NAVY.—lmprisonment and flogging seem to have little effect in deterring men from running away. The crew of tho iron screw troop-ship Vulcan, Commander Von Donop, at Portsmouth, had leave of absence some time since, which expired the early part of last week. Upwards of 30 have entirely forgotten to return ; and of those that did, some eight or ten made a clean bolt on the same day. It is rumoured that this ship will have a captain's commis sion. THE INDIAN RIVERS AND INDIAN IRRIGATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l have just seen in your paper of this day an able and interesting article on the Godavery and Kistnah Indian rivers. You therein describe one of the innumerable acts of misgovernment of the "Supreme Lords of India," and you describe some of the dreadful results. You have, in that article, referred to neglects, delays, an d, i n fi ne , t o omis sions. Will you allow me to state, not an omission, but an act committed, with regard to a river as im portant as either the Godavery or the Kistnah— namely, the Indus ? The prosperity of Scinde depends, in .a great measure, upon controlling the waters of this gm/at river. Its periodical inundations at times subside prematurely for agriculture ; the higher parts of that ?portion of the land inundated are, in such cases, either not reached by the waters, or left dry and exposed to the powerful sun too soon, and so burnt up. Innumerable large ditches, called in India " nullahs," run at right aigles from the river to all those lands, like the legs of a centipede from its body. Up these ditches the waters of the innundation flow, and by cutting them propor tionally deeper, the said waters reach further inland, passing the limits of the innundation itself, however high that may be. Now, it required no conjuror to see, I;hat by .a proper arrangement of dams, with sluice-gates, the waters of the innundation, when at their highest elevation, could be retained in the aforesaid nullahs, and thus the power of irrigation be continued, in defiance of any premature abatement of the innundation, till the operations of the agriculturist no longer required them ; he then would open his sluice-gates, and let the waters rush back to their parent river. There are also, vast results which would accrue from such a system to the health of. the people. To enter upon these last would make my letter too long, These views I submitted to Lord Ellenborough, who immediately ordered me to form a department, 1 ander engineer officers, exclusively appropriated to I ;he execution of this great work—viz., to take the necessary levels, to cut large main nullahs, and to deepen Ile nullahs already existing. This department was im i nediately formed, and continued in full operation, under Lieutenant-Colonel Scott, of the Bombay Engineers, 011ie I remained Governor of Scinde. ; I have no papers in London to which I can refer. I p ak - from memory when I say that the whole expense o f this department. was under the sum of 15,0001. a y car. A few years would have completed the operations, 2 'and the preservation of each portion the general work alien to the charge of local magistrates. See the History of the Administration of Scinde " for a more • letailed account. Now then for the part taken in this important project f or the improvement of Scinde by the " Supreme Lords o f India." The moment I left the government of Scinde tl Canal Department was abolished, and the expense of • eral years' labour in taking levels and forming canals • rai3 then thrown away—whether by the Court of Direc t mrs, by the Governor-General, or by the Bombay Go ✓ vs-nment I do not pretend to say. :I think, Sir, that this picture on the Indus, as regards adian hydraulics, forms a tulerablependant for yours of tl 39 Godavery and Kistnah.—l remain your obedient, e srvant, C. J, NAPIER, Lt.-Gell. London, May 11. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. Oxponb, WORCESTER; AND WQLVEiIHAMPTON.—We hear that the public opening of thiir line may be delayed longer than has been anticipated, in consequence of the Governinent inspector having refused to .certify .until some additional work in' connection' with the broad gauge is completed. L - - • ' _ _ „ . LEEDS NORTHERN . -7iVe,are in a pOsition to say that he directors and the preference . representatives have at ength arrived at a mutual good understanding. The ordinlry shareholders, however, will' rekret to learn that the parties appointed to act in their' behalf continue re solute in refusing to Come to terms which the directors themselves consider moderate find just. ABERDEEN.—Arr oPposition is organising among the proprietors against this company's bill, on the ground that it is wholly in favour Of the preference interest, and that these parties ought • to` Make some concession in considerition of the additional advantages abOUt to be secured to them. _ , • THE'SHREWSBURY COMPANIES.—It is confidently men tioned in well-informed quarters that Mr. M 'Lean only offered to lease these companies, provided it could be done with the consent of the Great Western ; but no official communication has as yet been made upon the subject. STAINES, WOKINGHAM, AND, WOKING JUNCTION.— This project, which has just passed through committee, is already threatened with the opposition of the Great Western and South-Eastern in the Lords. The former demanded powers to lay down the broad gauge—the lat ter opposes the scheme in so far as it trenches on the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate britneh. A PRECEDENT IN THE LAW OF DIVORCE.—A mar ried couple in the Far West found, soon after the'hOney moon, that there was no affinity in their dispositions, and that they must either lead a quarrelsome and mise rable life or separate. Both being Convincedof thii fact they agreed to have recourse to the justice who tied the Hymeneal knot for them, and who, they supposed, could untie as well as tie. On arriving at the justice's log-::_bin, they informed him that i was their desire to be unmarried, as it was impossible fo L.lhem to live together harmoniously. The justice reminded nem that they had promised before God to live together till death should part them. This was a damper, and they oTsered him any share - of their crop of corn and potatoes if ho would devise some means of sundering the marriage tie. The justice being a Yankee of much acuteness; and 'stimulated by the reward, hit upon an expedient. 'He' Wok th j e'house cat, and ordered the - parties to hold her between them. His next command was, to stretch her across.a log that lay by the door. This done, he' took the axe, and ex- claimin g , "Thus shall de a th p ar t y ou !" h e b ro ught its keen blade b down upon the devoted 'grithalkin,' and cut her in two at a blow. "Perfectly satisfied that they had been sundered in strict accordance. with the terms of the marriage contract, they went away Inghly pleased as they did on their first visit.-21 nterican, paper. THE SAILORS' Hong AND ASYLII3I.-onThursday, the annual general meeting of this institution took place in the museum of the house, in Well-street, Lon4on Docks. Admiral. Wm. Bowles, C. 8., presided. The house forms a board and lodging establishment'for sea men and apPrentices where they live comfortably during the time they must unavoidably remain 'ashore, ana are protected from crimps. For 2s. per day, or 14s. a week, seamen are provided with a sleeping pabin, foiir meals a day, and a fair allowance of washing included, with re ligious instruction, and the facilities of 'learning naviga tion. From the report it appeared that the total amount of moneys intrusted to the officers of the institution by seamen for security since its formation was 324:4991., of which '77,72Bl:remitted was to-the 'sailors' relatives, and 9,6331. invested in the ']Tome's Savings Bank. The ob ject of the Destitute Sailors' Asylum was to supply shelter, food, and clothing to distressed seamen of all nations, and to keep them till they can procure'employ ment. It hid conferred help and sustenance on an im mense number of helpless creatures, but for which they must have perished in destitution and misery. Both institutions were represented to be . in prosperous condi tions. After a vote of thanks to the gallant chairman, the meeting separated._ The Geri - min Journal of Frankfort states that the pro ceedings commenced by default against Mme. Nesselenyi, the sister of Kossuth, are not yet terminated. It ap pears that the authorities were not at first aware (:)f the gravity of the crime imputed to that lady, and only ac quired a knowledge of it from the revelations made by the tutor Zosbal, Alexandre d'Adressy, Cesar Bizaro, and other accomplices who were recently executed. Had this been known sooner she would not have been allowed to have quitted the Austrian States. The Belgian Chamber of Representatives met again on Wednesday, to terminate the voting on the bill on the organisation of the army. M. Vandenpeerebook objected to the unlimited power which the bill gave to the Government to call out the classes in non-activity. He would prefer, he said, that the number should be fixed at five as the maximum. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, replied that in all probability there would be no neces sity to call out more than two or three classes, but it was impossible that- the Government could be bound down in that respect, and it was not proper that the Chamber should impose limits on it. The limit of five years as proposed by the hon. gentleman would have the incon venience of making the soldiers who were temporarily released from service, liable by right to be called upon again to serve during all that period.. The Minister afterwards, in reply to some remarks of M. Orban on the hostile intentions which might threaten Belgium from abroad, affirmed that the Belgian Government kept up the most pacific relations with all the powers, but that it was evident that, in the present state of Europe, war might arise without premeditation on the part of any one. After some further discussion without interest, the ensemble of the bill was carried by 71 to 21. [An vEnnsEmENTJ—Holloway's Pills, a wonderful remedy for billious complaints, indigestion, and dis ordered stomachs.—Mr. Reardon, of Newcastle, who some time since retired from the legal profession in con sequence of ill-health, brought on by over -attention to business, causing great debility, nervousness, indiges-' tion, and a complete upset of the biliary system, together; with palpitation of the heart, was persuaded by his - friends to try Holloway's Pills, as all the medical advice that he had obtained.was unavailing. -He persevered in their use, and attended strictly to the diet as .advised, and he is now perfectly restored, and his• health is better than it ever was before, although he is in. his 65th year. —Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor NotabliAhrapt, 244, %And o Luba, COUNTRY MARKETS.
