The powers of expansion exhibit e d b y thi s most useful annual volume appear really unlimited. Publishe•l during a series of' forty eight years, in a metropolis whose dwellings increase in number by a Yearly average of some fourteen thousand, and whose commerce expands in still larger measure, the "Post-office Directory" has be come enormously enhanced in bulk, as also in the complicated variety of its indispensable contents. The admirable success with Which the really enormous difficulties of his task have been overcome by the indefatigable publisher has been proved by the experience Of many years ; and we need say little more than that the present volume presents the same tokens as its predecessors, of inteLigent Method and ingenuity of arrangement in packing into reasonable compass, and producing in lucid order its millions of facts and reference. Within two thousand pages every man may learn everything he ought to know about every one of big co-dwellers in the treat metropolis, their businesses, as well as everything neces- Sary to facilitate him in his own. The very rapid extension of our railway system, and the new postal arrangements with some contl- Rental states, have rendered necessary some extensive additions to the sections appropriated to Conveyance and the Post-oflice. We And the information given under those heads net only as full and ac curate as it was well possible to make them, but more new and re cent than we should have thought attainable in a work of curls mag nitude. Prefixed to the volume is about the best Map of London we happen to have met with. N 0.16,980. LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING SUN, FEBRUARY 19, 1847. PRICE SD. ieeieeimeeee... (Registered Provisionally.)

(From the &loth African Commercial Advertiser of Dec. 19.) In last Gazette some official notices bring the authentic history of the Kafir war down to the beginning of the pre sent month. These, as well as many unofficial communica tions, induce the hope that his Excellency may have it now fairly in his power, and also in his intention, to subdue and secure Kafirland, without suffering any material check, though innumerable details involved in the new arrange ments may give an appearance of dilatoriness to his pro ceedings. It is not his design to make a solitude, and call it peace. He will not be satisfied with the submission of the Kafir chiefs. The work before him is more comprehensive. His purpose is to establish in the new territory a numerous population, under laws and with institutions consistent with justice and freedom, restrained as well as protected by well-distributed military force. This is not like a battle, the business of a day, nor even like a campaign, the work of a season or a year, to be accomplished with a stroke by superior strength or activity; it is more like a plantation of trees, where nature has the chief part to perform, the labour of man being confined to planting and guarding. And nature requires time—her own time. The chief merit of a governor in his Excellency's present employment is to lay a good foundation; to be satisfied with notliii.g that is temporary in its nature, and to avoid being led astray by appearances of immediate perfection. A private letter states that the chief Macomo, now et Blockdrift, has become insane- Like his father Gaika, this man was endowed with great natural abilities, but as in dm "case of his father, he has fallen a victim to intemp.rance. requisite official facilities. As a mere compilation, it is probably the most wonderful on record. ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Nov. 28, 1846. This huge volume, the forty-eighth edition of the work, well sus tains the reputation enjoyed by the " Directory" of late years. In the preface the proprietor maintains that the high character of the work is nut referable to its mere connexion with the Post-office; for an important change has been gradually introduced into the man ner of collecting the information ; and a larger portion of the work than heretofore has been confide.' to selected agents entirely uncon nected with the Post-office, this being, in great part, the plan of compiling the editions for 1845 and 1846. Nor has the proprietor rested content with his past success, but has intreducool many impor tant alterations in this volume for 1847, and' added to its bulk with out any increase of price. The ' Postal Directory' is especially im proved, and there are numerous changes throughout the volume, to insure its completeness. The compilation must be a vast labour, to be accomplished only by systematic subdivision and the most pains taking minuteness. The appearance of the volume has suggested a very lively effusion, to be seen in another column; and we trust the enterprising proprietor of the "Directory" will find that his labours are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great commercial country this is an indispensable volume. RAILWAY HERALD, Nov. 21, 1846. The new volume of the Post-calico Directory for 1847 is already in our hands, and we can only express our wonder that a work so laborious, extensive, and minute, could be in any degree improved. It would have been a sufficient n_erit to have maintained its former reputation ; it is a great merit to have surpassed itself. The pro duction of a work unequalled for accuracy and far clearness has placed in the hands of the commercial public a most valuable and indispensable aid in carrying an the business of this vast metropolis, which would indeed be subjected to the greatest inconvenience and expense if It were not for a work of this kind. In a short time our readers will have an opportunity of judging for themselves en pur chasing the new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is in any degree exaggerated. lIERAPATII'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846. The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and improvements upon its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge. ment in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with which this important, and it is not a misapplication of terms to say, national work is conducted, merits the highest commendation. We know net whether the same illiberal and unjustifiable attempt will be made in the ensuing session as was done in the last, to wrest It from the hands of the present proprietary, and to place it by the force of might ever right in the possession of Government. But should it be attempted, surely the following statement of its con ductors will go home to the consciences, if they have any, of the parties seeking to draw down the grasping interference of Govern ment. "It can only be necessary to refer to a copy of the work pub lished before the purchase of the copyright by its present proprietor, to be convinced that the mere connexion of the ' Directory' with the Post-office hot little, if at all, contributed to its present high cha racter. That the improvements (the result of many years of un wearied toll and application on the part of those engaged in the ecan pilatlon of the work) are duly appreciated, is now happily beyond all question ; prior to the ' Directory' passing to its present proprietor, rival books contended successfully with this. They have disappeared." Kelly and Co., 19 and 20, Old Roswell-ceurt, Temple Bar, and all booksellers. The thanks of the delegates were also given to the 195 Members who voted for the second reading of the Bill, and to Mr. Labouchere and Sir Robert Peel, who, although op posed to the measure, resisted the base and factious efforts of Mr. Escott and Mr. Bright, to prevent a division by moving the adjournment of the House on the unparliamentary ground that cettain Members of Pa i Hameln, had not spoken. hanks were then voted to the chairman, and the dele gates separated. efer a cony ,st ruffianif mmoned to e (lid ; bu t enly taken (‘ a back, driven the I, and who d, and th° re that hi SCOTTISH PATRIOTIC SOCIETY FOii Ttsr.

It is a wonderfully t affair from the old Directoiy, whish used to consist of little or nothing more than the alphabetical list of tradesmen; it comprises now, and has for sorfle years, a " Street Directory," a " Trades' Directory," a " Court Directory," a " Postal Directory," a " Conveyance Directory," with a host of other little digests. The volume appears to have been very carefully revised, and supplies the latest information. Of course, the postal treaty with Prussia has not been overlooked ; and in minor Paiute the work seems to bear the test of search into matters in Whick changes have been very recent. MORNING POST, Nov. 19, 1846. The forty-eighth annual publication of this admirable work has just been issued. Any dissertation on the uselblness of this volume, after its well-proven service in almost every counting-house in the metropolis for so many years past, must be quite unneeessaiy. suf fice it to say, the present edition possesses all the merit of its prede cessors, while the alterations and corrections in the various depart- Manta have been carried down to the latest period. MORNING HERALD, Nov. 21, 1546, Bulky as the proportions of this indispensable work have hitherto been, the volume for 1847 comes forth under circumstances of still Rather enlargement. The experience of 47 years has obviously enabled the proprietor, Mr. Frederick Kelly, to produce a Directory of unrivalled completeness, wherein every species of fact likely to be wanted by the merchant and trader is placed within convenient access. The volume contains upwards of 2,000 closely-printed royal octavo pages, betokening a singular amount of industry as a matter of compilation, and awakening astonishment at the comprehensive ness of the machinery which could bring within a common focus so much varied and scattered intelligence —embracing, as it does, a multiplicity of heads, and involving the services of a vast number of contributors. We believe that the present volume is not to be Illeatelted in the whole world, for such a mammoth aggregate of local and specific information is no ices a typographical wonder than a Prodigious monument of diligence and enterprise. Some dozen or so of separate Directors are included in this huge periodical—the only One, it seems, of the annual tribe destined to a permanent existence a veritable triumph, indeed, of the utilitarian principle over the Ornamental. The " Official Directory" is a key to the whole of the Government offices, and a record of official personages. This is fol lowed by a "Street Directory," exhibiting the tradesmen in every thoroughfare,k atrigt angles W kanadngthe points the tsat which the streets are intersected by l.os "Commercial and Professional Directory" is an alphabetical arrangement of the above.

The " Postal Directory" contains the hour of receipt and delivery of every Post -office in the kingdom ; the cities and principal places throughout the world to which mails are dispatched from London ; the rates of foreign postage ; the railway mails and the cross-road mails, &c. The " City Directory" registers the civic authorities, the public companies, the brokers, the incumbents and ministers of the churches and chapels, the newspapers, &c. ; and the "Conveyance Directory" includes the rail way tables, the coach and booking office s, the wharfs, &c. Th e volume closes with Banking and Assurance Directories. These various heads will serve to indicate the multi tudinous nature of the contents, for out of them come a variety of Sub ordinate directories, which meet every co nceivable want, pre sentingthe a curious analysis of th e public and private institutions of metropolis and of the commercial world. Every person is to be found under his proper section, from a prime minister down to a sheriff's officer—every establishment, from a palace to a lodging house. The editor, in his preface, takes occasion to congratulate himself on the many improvements he has this year introduced, Principally flowing from the employment of " selected agents," instead "the ordinary carriers of the Post-office. Among the specific alterations, the new postage Treaty with Prussia, which came into operation on the Ist of January, 1847, and disturbs to a considerable extent the rates of postage over a great part of the Continent, seems the most important. . • MORNING ADVERTISER, Nov. 18, 1846. The " Post-office London Directory, 1847," is just delivered. Though it is apparently limited to London, it is in reality a national work. None of the leading towns can well be without it ; tt must be an essential to every counting-house in the kingdom, as well as to every place of business is and about the metropolis. It is an invalu able work of its kind ; and the extent and minuteness of its useful de tails are truly wonderful. Being prepared " under the immediate and Iri , cial patronage of her Majesty's Postmaster-General," the amplest and completest means were, of course, at the command of the pro prietor, Mr. Kelly, to secure the entire accuracy of the voluminous and crowded contents of the bulky work. The present is the forty eighth annual publication. Few commercial and trading men can now require particular description of the really important and usettil information, to almost every party in any sort of business, occupying the two thousand closely but clearly printed octave pages of this Di rectory. Preceded by an admirable and perspicuous Map of London, prepared expressly, it is declared, for the work, by Mr. B. R. Davies, there are divisions comprising, among other information, " Official," "Street," " Commercial," " Trades," " Law," " Court," " Parlia mentary," " Postal," " City," " C onveyance, " " Bankin" and many other Directories. The hope is expressed in the preface that this forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-office London Directory" may be found "in all respects to equal the best of its predecessors." From very consider able examination of the marvellously full and varied contents and information on matters which it must be so difficult, laborious, and expensive to collect, we hesitate not to say, that this unassuming wish is liberally realised. It not only equals the best of its prede cessors, but in several particulars it surpa.s.es all its predecessors. The information is not only fuller in many respects, but there are several important alterations and additions, largely adding to the usefulness of the book. It is intimated, and truly, that although all competition has disappeared, the present volume is conspicuous proof that there has been no relaxation in the multJarious labours to per fect the extraordinary work. In speaking of past success, it is observed that it has been, "even in a pecuniary . point of view, bene ficial to the public, is proved by the fact that important improve tnents and additions are annually made without any increase of price "—a result that, it is declared, " could not have been the case, had the public patronage been divided." With reference to the price, we certainly must acknowledge that it is wonderful how it can be proff table to provide such varied materials —and materials constantly changing and requiring so much and such ceaseless labour and cost to procure, and then to classify. Nothing but a tremend ous sa l e cou ld ma k e th e s p ecu l a ti on answe r. Among the import an t a lt erat i ons will befourid those introduced into the " Postal" Directory. It is, indeed, singularly full, useful, and c omplete ; and must much increase the da i ly, i t m i g ht b e mo r e truly pronounceda its hourly value, particularly to the merchant, the tr, professional man. As the new treaty with Pruss ia Causedthe very considerable changes in the rates of postage as effecting erman Sta tes, Hamburg, Austri an dominions, Baden, Bavaria, Bremen, Denmark, the G lianover, Lubeck, Meckieuburgh , Olden burgh, Poland, Prussia, Saxony, Sweden and Norway, Wurtemburg, ar,e- &c • fie., those changes are detailed " precisely as they arranged to come into operation on the Ist of January, 1847." The other changes are not only numerous, but all the intelligence is announced to be brought down to a period as late as was compatible with the appearance of such a volume in sufficient time for general circulation, prior to the commencement of the year for which it is designed. The business merits of the work. are of the highest order, and render it. of its kind, we imagine, a publication unexampled in the world for its completeness, fulness, and usefulness. SUN, Nov. 18,154 i;. The present is the forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-o Mee London Directory," and a truly marvellous effort of compilation it ts. The " Post-office Directory" has been for some years under the management of Mr. Kelly. Until he became the manager of this work, there were divers other Directories in the field. They have, however, all disappeared, and the " Post-office Directory" now rules alone. This astonishing success, however, has not had the effect of mating the proprietor or this gigantic work careless. He is too thorough a man of business not to be perfectly aware that the fruits of his success can only be reaped by a continuance of the same untiring energy by which the success was in the first instance achieved, and accordingly we find that the " Post-office Directory" for 1847, is even more highly finished in all its elaborate arrangements than any former edition of the book. The extent and Minuteness of the details furnished, render the work indispensable to every commercial and mercantile establishment. So admirably, however, is this multifarious information digested and arranged, that there is not the slightest difficulty experienced in referring to the articular page required to furnish the information—a marVellous .. nstance of clearness of arrangement in a A ork consisting of upwards of two. thousand closely but clearly printed octavo pages. This birectory is certainly the most complete work of the sort ever offered to the public. Of not only the usefulness, but the indispen sable necessity of such a work, no man of business can for a moment entertain a doubt ; and considering the completeness and tbloess of the hiformatien furnished, and the enormous outlay of time and o capital that must have been made in order to acquire and digest the Information, the very reasonable price at which the work is published le really wonderful. GLOBE, Nov , . 21, 184 G. Kelly's invaluable work, the " Post-office Directory," has just made Its appearance for the ensuing year. The vast mass of infor mation which this book contains, makes it not only desirable but absolutely necessary as a part of the office furniture of every man of business ; and scarcely less necessary, indeed, for every one else, who requires to know anything concerning the trades, professions, and localities of the great metropolis. In its present extended form, the book is an absolute curiosity; the labour and expense which it has cost to bring it to its present state of perfection mast have been immense. In turning over its two thousand pages, one hardly knows which most to be struck with and admire—the excellent arrangement and utility of such a compilation, or the magnitude of the city 'sshich requires such a directory. The volume, moreover contains an excellent map of London and the suburbs, corrected down to the latest strides of " bricks and mortar." WEEKLY DISPATCII, Nov. 15, 1846. The forty-eighth annual publication of this highly-important and maid work has just been issued ; and we must confess that its bulky appearance has surprised us not a little ; and when we reflect that the price remains unaltered, although the expense of collecting the materials must have increased, we are pleased at the liberality of Mr, Kelly, the proprietor. In a commercial point of view, per haps, no book ever contained so much useful matter. Among other information, there is an " Official Directory," a " Street Directory," a " Commercial Directory," a " Trades' Directory," a " Law Direo tory," a " Court Directory," a " Parliamentary Directory," a " City Directory," a " Conveyance Directory," and a " Banking Direc tory,"—in fact, the volume contains much that is interesting and valuable to the tradesman, the merchant, the lawyer, and persons in ordinary life, as well as to the gentleman who occasionally dabbles in trade. Every description of information has been corrected to the latest possible period, and that information is arranged with a clearness and simplicity which must have involved great activity of mind and exertion of body. Sewed with the book Is an excellently engraved Map of London, more extended and accurate as to the suburbs than any map we have seen ; and to make it as complete a reference as possible, an almanac is introduced. In the " Postal Directory" there are the new rates with various parts of the Con tinent which will come into operation on the Ist of January. Altogether this new issue surpasses any of its predecessors and we are not surprised that other Directories should have gone to the tosib of all the Capalets. BRITANNIA, Nov. 21, 1846. . . _ The French people have done themselves some credit by their in dustrial expositions. But it must be acknowledged in genious and pretty, they appear quite insignificantthat, though the industrial exposition presented to the mind compared with this ared of mighty volume. Keeping pace with the advancing tradea w nd l y ti population London, it still increases in bulk, and keeping pace move ment of society in a m ore im p ortant p articular, it vigilantly seines every opportunity of improvement to insure more perfect accuracy and more'comPlete classification. We find in this volume many in stances of superiority to former issues, which, though comparatively trifling, show the intelligence and care exercised over every depart ment. It may be mentioned, that by the employment of private *gents, the changes of residence are new brought down to a later Period than formerly, and the value of the " Directory" is conse quently enhanced. We have before spoken of it as indispensable to the proper management of business. Its authority is now so univer e4llY established, both at the Post-office and throughout the metro polis, that any further recommendation of it is superfluous. JOHN BULL, Nov. 28, 1846. This annual leviathan is already completed and published; but ire a proof that the rapidity with which it must have passed through the press has not operated against its careful accuracy, we may mention that the changes rendered necessary by the very recent demise of Mr. Stewart, M.P. for Renfrewshire, are duly attended to (See pages 1669 and 1676). We have so frequently expressed our approbation of this most vAluable work, that we hardly know how to vary our commendation. It contains everything that can pos sibly be required in a directory—so full, so complete, so compre hensive are all its detaiLs. And when to this we add the extreme accuracy which pervades every department, we know not what else can be said in its praise. The machinery by which such volu minous information is obtained, arranged, and superintended, so as to avoid errors, must of itself be among the " curiosities" of modern literature. ATLAS, Nov. 28, 1846. A. book of this kind. brought out even without much pretension, Would be Indispensable to every gentleman's library, every merchant's counting-house, and every trader's shop. But edited as this is, with the utmost care—its materials being collected through the most au thentic channels, and embracing in its range every head of personal and commercial intelligence essential to the completeness of such a work, we cannot suppose that any house, public or private, which eau afford a b.x)k of reference, will be without this compendious volume. The arrangement is admirable. You can find any name You want in a moment.

COPY OF A YOUNG LADY'S VALENTINE. A nice young lady, with a fond intent, Addresed a letter to a nice young gent. Her sole design, of course, was that of wooing, And this the season sanctioned her in doing. I shan't disclose the name of this young lady, It might be Tomkins, or it might be Adey. Nor shall I name the gent. in this affair, For broken confidence I cannot bear. 'Twould matter nothing if his name were Loppy, The Valentine's the same, and here's A COPY : Dear youth t when I look at your form, I long for your hand to be mine. And often my heart has felt warm, At the thoughts of my lov'd Valentine. The elegant manner you dress, - My high approbation has won; And I think I shall make a good guess, If I hint at E. MOSES and SON. It may be a fond failing to own, That my thoughts of your fashion are such ; But, certainly, nature alone Could never delight me so much. The dresses of MOSES and SON, Add beauty to beauty, forsooth ; And hence has my notice been won, Ti thy charming appearance, dear youth.

The diseases In which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty of breathing, tightness of the chest, spasmodic asthma, catarrhs, hoarseness, sore throats, aphony (loss of voice), ear-aches, rheuma tism of the jaws, tooth-ache, neuralgia, &c. In the first stage of cons”amtion their beneficial effects are surprising, and in the ad. vanced stages they relieve the cough, lessen the expectoration, check the night perspiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

(From the Frontier Times.) From Colonel Somerset's camp we have news up to yes terday, on which day Urania arrived with some of his fol lowers. Of the object of his visit we arc not informed. A convoy of mule and horse waggons with supplies reached town, with a number of loose mules for frontier service. Cape mail arrived this afternoon. We have information from Upper Kafir Drift to the 28th inst. We learn that Field Captain H. Bowker has had many night patroles out lately. Two parties of Kafirs had been seen at a distance, and also the spoor of three other partici, all returning to Safirland. No spoor of Kafirs had been seen entering the colony since Mr. Bowker's arrival. The old walls of the post had been built up, and all the men had been comfortably hutted. We are sorry, but not surprised, to learn that Sir A. Stockenstrom has resigned his appointment of Commandant General of the Burgher Forces. The Brilliant arrived at Port Elizabeth on Thursday last, haring on board for Go vernment 40,0001. and stores. NOTICE. Head Quarters, Camp near Fort Hare, Dec. 2, 1846. Since publishing the notice of Colonel Somerset's successfill patrols in October last, the forces in the field have been en gaged in clearing the ceded territory, scouring the deep kloofs which intersect it, and sending out patroles to harass the enemy wherever an opportunity of doing so was offered. The following were the principal of these operations :- 1. Several patroles were made by the Ist division under Lieut.-Colonel Johnstone, 27th Regiment, between the 11th September and the 23d October. In these about twenty-two of the enemy were killed; several staud of arms, 114 horses, and 475 head of•cattle wore taken. 7,450 sheep were also recaptured. 2. On the 14th October a patrole was made by Captain Hogg in the Tambookie country, on which occasion the spi rited conduct of Lieut. Fitzgerald, of her Majesty's 91st Regiment, was brought to his Excellency's notice. In this movement 27 horses and about 70 head of cattle were captured, and eight of the enemy slain. 3. On the 22d October, and on the 3d and 4th November, Sir Andreas Stockenstrom sent out patroles under the command of Field-Captain Read, of the Kat River. During these operations Field-Captain Read reports that 46 Kafirs were killed, and 1,500 head of cattle, and 1,000 goats were taken. Field-Captain Read's services are mentioned in very favour able terms by Sir Andreas Stockenstrom. 4. His Excellency has received the following report of a patrols conducted by Colonel Somerset, C.M.R. (EXTRACT.) "Camp on the Chalumna, Nov. 24, 1846. " Sir—l have the honour to acquaint you, for the infor mation of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that I marched from the Boka at six A.M. on the morning of the 22d inst., and encamped with the troops on the Wanahanna stream, five miles above the Kieskamma. At eight A.M. I was joined by Captains Moultrie, Hogg, and Bouchier, with 400 men ; halted all day, and at six P.M. I marched with the following force :—two guns Royal Artillery, under Captain Burnaby; owe troop 7th Dragoon Guards, under Captain Sir Harry Darell ; 150 Cape Mounted Rifles, under Captain Napier; 156 of the 73d Regiment, under Lieut.-Col,nel Van der Meulen , the troop of burghers, uuder Commandant Niekerk ; I company of Size's Levy, under Captain Heath cote ; 1 Fingoe Legion, under Captain Bird, to proceed to the Kieskamma. I detached Lieutenant Colonel Mackinnon to the Shoushou Drift on the Kieskamma with 1 company 73d Regiment, 1 company Size's Levy, under Captain Lange, and 300 of the Swellendam Native Corps, under Captains Hogg and Bouchier. I directed the whole of these troops to move at day-dawn across the Kieskamma. and attack the kraals on the left bank of the river, and scour the valley of the Shoushou to the Kieskamma height. Moving with the guns, cavalry force, and 73d Regiment at four A.M., I advanced up to the height of the Kies kamma, and bringing tiur right shoulders forward I de tached the Cape Mounted Rifles and Burghers to the flanks. The troops attacked the enemy's kraal , at the upper source of the Chaluraita, and after a most fatiguing march of ten hours, the several parties returned, having captured above 900 head of cattle, and l G Ina-sPs and mares. About four rM. the parties detached to scour the valleys of the Shou shou debouched from the buil], having captured from 700 to 800 head of cattle, and a few horses. I regret to state that privates Isaac Tiernan and Adam Dragooner, C.M. Rifles, were unfortunately killed at Nonibi's kraal. These men having proceeded ahead of their party, were incautiously talking to some woman at a kraal, when a body of the enemy rushed out (if a kloof and fell upon them ; Private Tiernan shooting one of the enemy after having received a ball through his body. These men I buried at Nonibi's kraal. Although the heat was excessive, the troops went through the duties of this fatiguing day with their usual activity. A large body of mounted Kafirs having shown themselves en some high ground above the Tamaka, Captain Bur naby opened his gun upon them, which speedily dispersed them. " During the whole of these operations I received every as sistance from the officers commanding corps, and all the officers ; and from Major Stocks, and the officers of the staff. The troop. were, as usual most active and intelli gent, and performed their work with great cheerfulness. I have the honour to transmit Lieutenant-Colonel Mackin non's report. About thirteen of the enemy were killed during the day. 1 have the honour, &c., (Signed) " H. SOMERSET, Colonel. " Lieutenant-Colonel Cloete, K.H., ic." 5. His Excellency has received the following report of a patrole from the let division, under Lieutenant-Colonel Slade, on the Ist instant : " Camp, Block Drift, Dec. 1, 1846. " Sir,--I have the honour to report to you, for the infor mation of the Commander-in-Chief, that in compliance with instructions received from his Excellency in person, I, at two A.ll. this morning, caused the columns as detailed in the margin to parade, for the purpose of patrolling in search of cattle. " I had also directed Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell, Reserve Battalion 91st Regiment, stationed at Fort Cox, to make a sortie at the same hour, for a similar purpose. I inclose the reports of Lieutenant-Colonel Johnstone, 27th Regiment, of Lieutenant-Colonel Erskine, Reserve Battalion 45th Regi ment, and of Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell, Reserve Battalion 91st Regiment. " I myself accompanied the first column, and proceeded up to the right bank of the Chnmie for nearly six miles ' when we crossed that stream, and bringing up our left shoulders we swept the country until we reached the point of rendezvous as selected by his Excellency. The column under my imme diate command captured 668 head of cattle, 32 horses, and 98 goats, and a vast number of calves, 6 guns, and several bun dles of assegais. Thirteen of the enemy were slain, amongst whom (I am informed) was Yokel, the chief of one of the kraals we swept, and a valued councillor of Sandilli. "The cattle and horses captured by the several columns are as follows t Cattle. Morns. Lieutenant. Colonel Slade Lieutenant-Colonel Johnstone Lieutenant-Colonel Erskine ...... 274 8 Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell " Making a grand total of captured cattle, 1,419 ; horses. 62; goats, 98 ; killed of the enemy, 14. "These operations were performed wilhout any casualty on our hide; and the troops returned to the camps between nine and ten, A.H. " From the reports made to me I have every reason to be lieve that all those of the enemy who fell upon this occasion were slain in resistance to her Majesty's troops. " I have the honour, &cc., (Signed) "M. J. SLADE, Lieut.-Colonel, " Commanding Ist Division "Lieut.-Colonel Cloete, &c." Many other patroles of miner importance, made in the course of this period, have been conducted with great spirit.

On Wednesday a meeting of the whole of the delegates was held in their rooms, No. 2, Northumberland-court, imme diately after the division ou the second reading of the Ten Hours Bill. The object of their mrsting was to convey their thanks to those Members of Parliament who took part in the debate, also to devise the best means of securing the final success of the measure. Mr. Jehn Leech, of Rudders. field, was called to the chair. The following answer to the delegates' memorial to Sir Robert Peel, which was presented to him on Saturday night, was read to the meeting :-- " Whitehall, Feb, 17. " Gentlemen,—l have received your communication of the 13th of February, addressed to me in your capacity of dele gates from the operatives of Lancashire and Yorkshire. " I am not disposed to deny the special obligations which are imposed upon me, on account of the relation in which my family has stood towards that branch of industry to which your letter refers. " But the duty implied by those obligations is that I should take that course which I conscientiously believe to be just towards the working classes, and conducive to their perma nent Ti elfare and, as I consider further legislative restriction - EDINBURGH.

Drawie i ; diza,...tion that exists between the labouring classes in England and in Scot land, he observed that wLat had been productive of so much benefit to the poor and to tue community in England, was equally applicable, and would be equally beneficial in Scotland. Here, as in the south, there were labourers and mechanics w o might be greatly benefited by having as much garden ground as they centa 'properly culti vate, but, in addition to these, there are the crofters and fishing classes here, which, under their present circumstances, are continually exposed to destitution. Dr. Mackenzie ob served that these classes exist ; that it is impossible to sweep them away, for if removed from estates they flock into vil lages and towns, and there become generally pauperised and demoralised members of the community. He then generally described the wretchedly inefficient cultivation pursued by the crofters, and the unskilful practices of the fishing classes ; he maintained, however, that the abuse of the croft or small holding was no valid argument against small holdings pro perly cultivated. Having the responsible duty of superin tending vast numbers of people on the west coast, belonging to the croft and fishing classes, he had felt it his duty to in quire whether they could be made to support themselves, and into the means of effecting this. Unfortunately, although many proprietors had made isolated attempts to unprove their people, although excellent directions had been given them, these were found to be inoperative, and there was no society such as the one they were now met to establish, pro vided with practical plans and suggestions; he had, there fore, to search after the materials for the improvement he was desirous of effecting. Fer this purpose he visited about five years ago the estates of the Earl of Gosford and of Colonel Close, in Ireland. The people on their estates a few years before very closely resembled the depressed and spiritless portion of the Highland community, but Mr. Blacker, an eminent agriculturist and philanthropist had suc ceeded in raising the destitute small tenantry on the estates under his charge to a position of great comfort; and he had effected this chiefly by employing agricultural overseers to ' enforce the most advantageous methods of cultivation among the small tenantry. He (Dr. Mackenzie) had also inspected the rural improvements effected by the late Mrs. Gilbert on her estate at Eastbourne, in Sussex. Time prevented his entering into minute, but be was surprised and delighted to find that Mrs. Gilbert's 400 small tenants, :not only were able to pay punctually higher rents, but that on poor south down land, they raised far heavier and more productive crops than the neighbouring large farmers. He did not wish to make invidious contrasts, but he was convinced, from long study and experience, that there was no physical necessity for small tenancies being so unproductive as they are under existing mismat.agement. Dr. Mackenzie then detailed the lit tied ifficult les he had encounter ed in calm encing at Gairloch similar improvements to those effected by Mr. Blacker; but under the direction of agricultural inspeciors, the cotters had not only drained their new crofts, upon each of which im proved cotteges had been erected, but they had effected more work than was anthipaled or appointed them, and although the potato failure had come upon them before they were in a position to derive adequate benefits from impruyemeids in their husbandry, yet they had better prospects before them than they otherwise would have had, and he 11A no doubt that if these improvements had been three years in advance, the poor people would have been independent of the potato failure, because it would only ferin A portion, instead of the major part, of their rural produce. 1)r. ill .ckatzie then ad verted-to the succes• wired' had at' errted the tishin/ crews Le had prevailed upon lard ,uturnu to pursue under improve• melds the cod and lieg fishing. hese crews were as desti tute as their nei_ hbours of potat..es, hut their resources from fishily; etrabled them to purelerse meal without difficulty. it was, he observed, by thus developurg the renounces of the p.-ople and country the dew itu itai is to be avoided, and as this was most eflici• n• Iv to be dime ilir,:ugh the medium of an .fficieet sot ie.y, such as he trusted the pree•nt one would wove, be Oegged to move the adoption et the r..soluttou he I had read.

DRUMMI )NI) adverted to what he had himselt witnessed of destitution among the peasantry, and cordially moved—" That, finding that numerous landed pro prietors and other benevolent persons in September last, pro jected and provisionally established such a society as that so urgently required, under the appellation of the Scottish Patriotic Society for improving the condition of the labouring classes,' the meeting approves of and confirms the same." 1)r. WEST moved a resolution, defining the objects of the society to be the improvement of costar husbandry, the diffusion of agricultural education, the improvement of cot tages and gardening, and of the dwellings of the labouring classes generally; together with kindred means for inducing provident habits among the people. Professor JOHNSTON, in an able speech, dwelt upon the importance of sowing the germs of future agricultural im provements in the minds of the rising generation, and con chided by seconding the resolution. A highly influential general committee was then ap pointed, after which a vote of thanks to the chairman having been proposed by Professor Gregory, and seconded by D. Davidson, Esq., of Strath, the meeting separated. THE ARMY. DISCIPLINE IN MILITARY PRISONS. Horse Guards, Jan. 16th, 1847. It having been represented by the Secretary at War that it would be for the advantage of discipline in the military prisons if those establishments could be relieved from the ne cessity of receiving incorrigible delinquents, and prisoners whom, from the disgraceful nature of the offences of which they have been convicted, it may be deemed expedient to dis charge at the termination of their imprisonment, the Com mander-in-Chief desires that henceforth all soldiers who, in addition to an award of imprisonment, may have been recom . mended by courts-martial for discharge, with ignominy, ~ r whose discharges may have been sanctioned en the grounds of continued and incorrigible misconduct, be committed, when practicable to civil prisons. The discharge documents will in all such cases be com pleted; and if the soldier is to be discharged with ignomiav the forms prescribed at page 127 of her Majesty's Regula tions, must be gone through before he is permitted to leave the regiment. transmitting the certificates of discharge tonic Governor of the prison, f.,r the purpose of being delivere•_, tc the prisoners when the . .erns of their imprisonment Att.., hive expired.

The observations contained in the annexed extract c a report from - Jr. Tufnell, surgeon to the military prison .n Dublin, as to the best position of the ti ,, ldier while emplo-ed at shot exercise, have appeared to the Commander-in-aim so judicious, that his Grace desires they may be corisidc_ec as instructions to he attended to, and enforced, by COMMAIR, in,: officers, when soldiers are subjected to that description of punishment in the garrison or barrack cells under their superintendence. It must be clearly understood, that all prisoners, irevioul to their admission into the cells, are to be carefully examined by a regimental medical officer, and every possible precau tion taken that FAO man having a tendency or predisposition to rupture shall, on any account, be employed at shot ex ercise, or any other species of hard labour which way be dkely to be prejud4ial to his health.
