We have 'men favoured with a copy of tha following important dispatch, which was communicated last evening to the West India Association : TO GOVERNOR SIR C. GREY, &C. Downing-street, Oct. 30. Sir,---I transmit to you herewith a copy of a me morial from proprietors, merchants, and others, con nected with the island of Jamaica, in which they re present the difficulties under which they labour, and apply for assistance to be able to surmount them. The topics brought before her Majesty's Govern ment in this memorial are, as you will perceive, the same which have been for some time past under their constant consideration ; but the progress of events gives them every day an increasing interest and im portance. Long before the enactment of the Act for the ulti mate repeal of the discriminating duties on foreign sugar, it had become manifest that in the existing state of opinion in this country, founded as it was in reason and on facts, if the cultivation of sugar by free labour could not be sustained on principles of free trade, it could not be sustained at all. So long as these principles were not brought into operation it was obvious that the basis on which this com merce and cultivation rested was hollow and unsound, and that all calculations connected with it must pro ceed upon very doubtful and precarious data. It was essential, therefore, to ,the 'welfare of all parties to commence without delay the experiment of bringing the principles of free trade by progressive steps into full activity, and maintaining the cultivation of sugar with a reduction and early extinction of the discri minating duties. This experiment being indispensably necessary was to be undertaken in a spirit of hope and confidence, and in that spirit I trust it will still be carried on. But, at the same time, there is no application of the principles of five trade which was entitled to more anxious attention on the part of her Majesty's Government with a view to promote its success ; because, of all merely commercial measures it is that which involves the most momentous conse quences, moral and political, as well as commercial. With the maintenance of the colonial agriculture and exports is bound up the moral and industrial well being, the education, enlightenment, and good go vernment of the negro race in the British colonies ; and, along with that, the abatement and ultimate extermination of the slave trade and of slavery throughout the world. It was with a full sense of the importance of the interests depending, and of the critical nature of the experiment, that I applied myself to the subject when I assumed the seals of this office; and then, as now, the want of an adequate supply of labour was the difficulty most dwelt upon by the planters and mer chants ; and this was the evil which it was obviously most essential to obviate. For the early, though not, certainly, the imme diate mitigation of this evil, I looked to the education and industrial training of the negroes, and I have pressed this subject repeatedly and most anxiously on the attention of the Assemblies. For a more direct alleviation I place great reliance upon the introduc tion of improved methods and implements of agri culture and processes of manufacture; a n d I have rejoiced to receive, from time to time, reports of improvements of this nature being in successful pro gress. But the supply of labour by immigration was the resource for which it was conceived that the assistance of her Majesty's Government might be chiefly made available ; and I lost no time in con sidering by what means this assistance might best be given. The expense of the transport of Coolies from British India was such as to excite doubts on the part of the Jamaica Assembly as to the expediency of carrying that immi gration forward, and I saw much reason to apprehend that these doubts were well founded, and that this immigration could not be conducted on any terms which would render it adequately remunerative. It remained to establish, if possible, an extended emigra tion from the parts of Africa where slavery does not prevail, and whence an intelligent and ser v i cea bl e class of emigrants might be procured. After ever y practicable inquiry had been made in this country as to the prospect of succeeding in such an attempt, her Majesty's steam-ship Growler was dispatched to the Kroo coast for emigrants, and, although she has been for the moment diverted from the prosecution of that particular service by the occurrence of an opportunity of conveying a large number of liberated Africans to the West Indies, the intelligence which has been received by no means abates the hopes which have been entertained,,and she has gone back to Africa with the additional adiantage of conveying thither, as dele gates from British Guiana and Trinidad, between 100 and 200 Kroomen and other Africans. These persons have been exceedingly prosperous in British Guiana, and they return to their country, according to a dispatch from Governor Light, of which a copy is annexed, with large sums of money, the earnings of their labour in the West Indies ; 29 of them having deposited in the hands of the captain of the Growler no less a sum than 5711. 15s. 10d. lam not, there fore, without hope that the succeeding operations of the Growler may realise the prospect of emigrants b e ing obtained from the Kroo coast in large numbers, and her Majesty's Government are prepared to take prompt measures for conveying them to the West Indies with the least outlay which may be found to be compatible with the proper conduct of the service. It is indispensable that that outlay should be defrayed by the colonies to which the emigrants are taken; nor i s it possible for me, especially in the present state of the resources of this country, and having regard also to the extraordinary demands made upon them from the various exigencies of the time, to hold out any expectation that her Majesty's Government c an recommend to Parliament that either a grant of money or a loan should be made by this country to the West India colonies for the advancement of these objects; but any number of merchant vessels will be employed which it is found possible to em ploy with advantage, and the expenses of which the colonies may be prepared to provide fnr. The man ner of conducting the service must afford an absolute and indisputable security against any immigrants being taken without their free consent, obtained by fair and well-founded statements. Her Majesty's Government cannot for a moment admit the validity u in r e f h a v a s o e u , r in nf orderA f ric an s that being they rescued may be of freed om . S uc h a p rocee di ng from theld removed a ba r ev g teso u ruy m ar e e bs n ytt argumentsosti a make m ore s l aves t h an i t re d eeme d , e and to make them in the worst way, by furnishing, like the slave trade itself, a provocative to the system of barbarous outrage and warfare by which that traffic is fed. It is indispensable, in order to guard against abuses of this nature, that the service should be conducted under the regu lations of the Government, and on those parts only of the African coast where slavery and the slave trade are found not to prevail. At present, however, there is nothing to show that the employment of ships of war will be necessary, or that any cost of superin tendence need be incurred beyond that of a Govern ment agency , on board the vessel and on the coast. Such a superintendence is, in fact, as necessary to the success of the undertaking as it is essential to the character of this country ; for any occurrence of abuses would inevitably put an end to the operations. With regard to the means by which the colonies might be enabled to meet the cost—when I first came to the consideration of this subject, the wisdom of the Assembly of Jamaica had already furnished, in the clause of their Immigration Act imposing stamp duties on engagements for immigrant labour, an example of legislation which I did not fail to adopt and recommend to other colonies. I added, as y o u Jamaica, a sugge s ti on f or the im positionimmigrants introdu ce d are aware, and I still recommend to the att en ti on o f thegioslfautumreonotfbfy tax aica n at the public expense, and not under a stamped en gagement to labour. This may not be required in the case of the Coolie immigrants, whose habits and hire fnifi themselves that comparative isolation in the community th row t h em upon engagements with the planters as a necessary resource. But I should fear that with ou t i t the to African im m i g rants introduced at th e expense of the colony, work, in ll noortd alwayser t that be they foundey m yto a expecta tion and repay the cost of their passage. Such are the measures which I have hitherto adopted and recommended to meet the deficiency in the supply of labour, and the steps which were neces sary to give effect to these measures, so far as they depended upon her Majesty's Government, have been taken, I trust, with the least possible delay, and with all the care requisite to give them a fair prospect of success ; and there Is no other proper and practicable measure calculated to advance these objects in which we should not most gladly co-operate with the Legis lature of Jamaica to the utmost extent of the means at our disposal. If the measures now in. , contemplation, or any evised for the i n t ro d uc ti on others which may be d of immigrants, should have an extensive success ; and neither that succes s, nor the an ticipation of it, be allowed to interfere with the diligent pur suit of every possible improvement in agri culture and manufacturing processes, and still less . with the education and industrial training of the ne groes, I trust there 's good reason to hope, t difficulties of the West not only that the present difficulties prove to b e temporary, but Indian interest may sed away, any measure that when they shall have Pas The CIIIRACTERISTICS of the PRESENT AGE.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un coruprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form aa item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

'forth' ', ake the ' Sable y , few r ji) THE EDITOR OF T N. x,—At least one of our daily papers (Tine, 2, 1847) lately stated the number and the names 'yes now set down for hearing in the Courts Iter ; but I do not fi n d th a t any paper has .he number of appeals already heard by, and now waiting:for ths "udgment of, the Lord Chancellor. I therefore take the 'hefty to furnish you with a list thereof, to enable y u to supply that omission, toge ther with a few emarks upon the consequences of delay in givi judgment upon appeals, in the hope that j with your usual desire to protect the interests 11 ) of the public, you will give ins,:rtion to such of them as you may consider pertinent. About three-fourths of the appeals in the annexed list, and now standing for judgment, were heard by the Lord Chancellor last year, some of them as long ago as July, 1846. No one can doubt its being a misfortune to get into litigation, and numberless are the cases in which parties submit to be plundered rather than to be en tangled in the meshes of law, with its attendant evils of expenses and delay. Circumstances, nevertheless, compel others, how ever reluctant to enforce their rights, or to resist attempts at pecuniary oppression by an appeal to the law; the care, anxiety, trouble, and expense neces- Court of Chan cer y, i nev it a bly t o b e encoun t ere d, are e s a s e ry a p f i o n r g traversing the pit fa h l i i g s, h % a ' n a d y s n a h r i ) c d a n h e 3 r • i w e s a3 o , s f , axl e miserysurel surely of fishfoarvtiung to nee w no a u it gl a i, year, more, after the cause or a pp ea l h as b een h ear d, f or the decision o f th e j u d ge. I n every case there must without or perhapsthe aggravatedtwoor be a wrong-doer : this delay on the part of the judge is a premium to the wrong -doer. Common sense and common honesty dictate that a judge should deter mine one cause before entering upon another; a competent, just, and duty-doing judge would always act upon that principle. But, allowing for necessary exceptions to such a general rule, what can justify the postponement of a judgment for months or years? The argument of counsel must of course be forgotten, and such causes will at length be decided upon on imperfect recollection of the facts, or a cursory re view of the papers : thus, besides the injury of delay, there is the waste of time expended in arguments, and the loss of money paid in fees to counsel. There are now twenty•seven reserved judgments; the last on the list was heard four months ago, the first sixteen months ago, and the amoun t of mone y or property involved in such cases probably reaches to nearly a mfillun- aiserlin no small porti on o f w hi c h i s, perhaps, locked up i n the Court of Chancery. The amount of suffering endured by parties, and their families and connexions, who ought to have their cases decided, and this property distributed months ago, is incalculable. And what now is their situation ? Their counsel say, if you press for judg ment you will irritate the Chancellor, and he will decide against you ; wait his time, your case is good, and he will decide in your favour; but wait ing his time consigns the party to bankruptcy and ruin, and when tardy justice at length arrives it is rather a triumph to the evil-doer, at having de stroyed his adversary, than compensation to the party injured. [PRICE SD. There is no exaggeration in this statement, neither are there any of our institutions that require more vigilant surveillance than the administration of the law ; and, acting on the impression that you have only to attain a knowledge of abuses to endeavour to reform them, I take the liberty to forward these observations, hoping that such use may be made of them, if possible, as may lead to an abatement of the evil.

EMANCIPATION OF SOUTHAMPTON FROM TORT MISRULE.—This borough has been so long in the hands of the Tories that they considered it their property; but by a majority of one single vote, on the Ist of November, a Liberal councillor was returned in the place of a Tory one; and on the election of the mayor and five aldermen this day (9th November), all Liberals, a substantial Liberal majority is secured. The following gentlemen take the place of an equal number of Tories:—Daniel Brooks, Esq., mayor ; Aldermen Paul's, Brooks, Bien venue, Allen, and Stace; who are expected to make a clear sweep of a mass of useless machines, the place now occupied by which is to be filled by members of a snore modern and useful kind. An atrocious crime was committed in the railway station at Dresden, on the 30th ult. At about ten o'clock in the morning a well-dressed young man o ab e d n i t s e e r ha a rg ca e r d ri i a t ge a , t and, drawing en tered, and walked about for some time in an a g it ate d state, smoking a cigar. All at once he rushed t owar d s The h e bayoungl 1 fa e e n mp t ia e sl r teo e l d whofr from his was about pocket, e to t, heart, and she died immediately. The murderer then drew another pistol from his pocket, and placed the barrel of it in his mouth, but just as he was about to pull the trigger, his arm was seized by a bystander, and the ball lodged in the ceiling. The murderer was immediately arrested and placed in gaol. He is the travelling clerk for a manufactory of arms at Liege. The young female belonged to a respectable family at Berlin, and had been carried off by the mur derer. Her father and mother having followed and overtaken her, insisted that she should return home, and she was about to set out with them on her return when the murder was committed. At the Postal Congress, now sitting at Dresden, y his fa ce s s in c ew a s qTahihreeittaiul hearing the with the Austrian commissary proposed the following uni form tariff for letters :-lid.

The postage to be divided equally between the receiving and sending office. It must be observed that the German mile is equal to 4.61 English miles. There are sixty kreutzers to the florin, and ten florins to the pound sterling.

It was raining very heavily at the time, and the plank was very slippery. The deceased ex claimed that he could swim ashore, and a sailor belong ing to another vessel immediately went to his assistance, but he had disappeared under the water. His body was recovered about two hours afterwards. It is a re markable fact, that when the deceased was searched his watch was found to be exactly twelve o'clock, the time when the unfortunate occurrence happened. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." Is BAD WORK TO BE PAID FOR P—This is A question, says the Iris, which frequently arises in Shef field, and one which it is often exceedingly difficult to decide, especially as to work sent out to be done. In a recent instance, a quantity of stuff for files was given to a workman to cut, and instead of doing them properly himself, he employed a boy to cut the round part and a man to cut the flat, and the work was badly done. The workman summoned his employer for 255., which the mayor restricted to 205., dismissing the summons, but ordering that sum to be paid, as he conceived that, though badly cut, the employer " might manage to get rid of them in some manner:" rather an equivocal re. commendation, surely, from a magistrate. The defend ant was by no means satisfied with the decision, es pecially as this was but one out of many instances in which he would be obliged to " get rid" of bad files " in some manner."—Builder.

REFORMATION OF JUVENILE OFFENDERS. The annual report of the Philanthropic Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Offenders, St. George's fields, Southwark, has just been issued, from which it appears, that since Jan. 1, 1847, eighty boys left the Institution. Of that number—Forty-three were regularly ap prenticed ; twenty placed in employment by their friends or relatives; nine sent to sea, in the navy or merchant-service; five left the Institution without the permission of the Society; one (an invalid) under the care of his parish at Norfolk ; and another a Parkhurst boy has been convicted of a felony (after living with his master six weeks) and is now trans ported. The report states that— " Ninety boys have been admitted since the same date, (January 1), viz., 15 On discharge from Brixton House of Correction, 5 .. .. Horsemonger Lane, 9 •• ... Westminster Bride well, 4 ... •.• Chester Castle, 1 .. .. Knutsford Gaol, 2 .. • • Salop County Gaol, 2 .. .. Newgate, 21 On the recommendation of London Magistrates, 3 • • • • ... of Country Magistrates, and 28 .. ••• • • of Secretary Sir G.Grey. " Of the twenty-four received on the recommenda tion of magistrates, most have been once or twice in prison for previous offences. - " Of the twenty-eight placed in the Institution by Sir G. Grey, twenty-one were removed from Park hurst on the 16th of July; one from Exeter Gaol on the 15th of June, and six from Millbank on the 27th of October. " The boys received from Brixton, Horsemonger lane, Stafford, Chester, Knutsford, and Shrewsbury, are admitted in consideration of contributions from associations of county magistrates and others ; the two received from Newgate are paid for from the sheriffs'- fund. In the case of the boys from Parkhurst and Millbank, the expenses of maintenance, outfit, &c., are defrayed by the Government. " It will be seen, from the foregoing statement, that the amount and extent of the society's labours, and the calls on its interference, are continually increasing; and the Committee see reason to believe, that the use • fulness and success of the society's efforts have equally augmented. Of the boys placed out in the three previous years (1844-6) the very great majority appear to be doing well, and give every promise of being able to maintain themselves honestly and com fortably in the world. In the report published in May last, it was stated, that thirty-nine out of the fifty-five who left the institution in the year 1845, and twenty-seven of the thirty-eight who left in 1846, were doing well, and behaving creditably. Of the sixty-six so spoken of, only three have since dis appointed the Committee's expectation ; while, on the other hand, several instances have occurred, in which youths, on whom the society's care had seemed to be spent in vain, have changed for the better, and be come steady and industrious. " The facility with which good situations have been obtained for the lads who have been discharged from the Society's care is very encouraging—almost every week has brought applications from masters of respectable character and position for boys trained in the society's school, a circumstance chiefly attributable to the good conduct of the lads who have been previously placed out. The parties applying for apprentices being usually induced to do so from what they have heard or seen of the • Philanthropic ' boys. " The committee wish that they had equal reason to congratulate the society's friends on the increase of its pecuniary resources. The Philan• thropic has, however, suffered in common with other valuable charities from the difficulties and embarrass ments which have prevailed so generally during the last nine months." M. George Fabricius, a German violinist and mu sical composer, committed suicide a few days ago at Brussels, in consequence of having, from agitation, failed in the rehearsal of a concert which he was to have given on Monday at the Theatre Royal.—Galignani. A LUCKY MAN.—On Friday last a person of Ab botkerswill, being too late for the express train to Ex exter, sauntered about the vicinity of the station until the next train went. Having occasion to go down a by lane in the new road, he took a parcel, containing fo reign coins to the value of 501. from his trousers pocket, and placed it on a stone by his side; shortly after he went away and forgot his parcel. He arrived in Exeter, and while going up Fore-street-hill he missed his money. He immediately went back to the station, and was in time for the express down train for Newton. On arriving he directly proceeded ;to the lane he had been in three hours previously, and fortunate for him, the money lay undisturbed in the same place he had left it. Several persons had passed the place during the time it was there without noticing it. Devonshire Chronicle. THE DEODORISING PROCESS.—Yesterday Mr. El lerman exhibited the extraordinary deodorising effects of his disinfecting fluid, at Mr. Burt's premises, in York street, Westminster, before a number of medical and scientific gentlemen. The experiments gone through for the purpose of testing the virtues of the re-agent were similar in their nature to those made at Hackney on Tuesday last, although on a somewhat smaller scale. In the first instance, two gallons of night soil were ex perimented upon, when the offensive and noxious gases it emitted were at once neutralised by the addition of only one pint of the fluid. In the succeeding experi ments the virtues of various other deodorising liquids, namely, chloride of lime, and Mr. Beaufoy's and Sir William Burnet's re-agent were compared with those of Mr. Ellerman, when it was satisfactorily proved that the latter possessed superior qualities, one pint producing equal effects to three pints of either of the others, while its cost is not above one-tenth. Dr. Ure, Dr. Carpenter, Dr. Grainger, and other competent judges who were present, expressed their perfect satisfaction at the result of the experiments. authoritiesEt o . b e A n t the e o r t d o e practice, e w effecta s at r some ot c hm e a n et t 1 o y i ft bbye S et r nh x e u tta ascertained ryt T eani tt n t e d p iss Tu having elidE the outports in the kingdom, to admit rum, which has been reduced in strength with water in the bonded warehouses or vaults, to entry for home consumption, and it appearing to the Board of Customs that such practice was objectionable, and attended with great in convenience to the department, and moreover, unneces sary for the accommodation of the public, inasmuch as spirits can now be imported in casks of twenty gallons contents each, thereby affording to all parties the op portunity of purchasing the article in small quan tities, as imported, and of afterwards reducing it when in their own possession equally as free from adulteration as if reduced whilst under bond, the practice of admitting for home consumption, i.e., for home use, on payment of the duty levi able on the article at so much per gallon of liquid and proof-strength spirits, reduced with water in the bonded warehouses or vaults, be forthwith discontinued.

The statements made to me by the gentlemen who waited upon me with the present memorial were strongly corroborative of this hope. They assured me that they had no reason to complain of want of in dustry on the part of the labouring population. The evil was not that they were wanting in industry, but that they were too few in numbers for the many employments of industry to which a state of free dom had given birth, independently of those in which the fixed capital of the sugar- planter is in vested ; and that such is the real state of the case is shown by the large increase of imports which has accompanied the decline of exports since the period of emancipation. Nor did these gentle men complain of the rate of wages as exorbitant. On the contrary, they stated that they would be content to pay the present wages, if a sufficiency of labourers at those wages could be obtained with certainty and regularity. Under these circumstances, it is evident that no injury can arise to the native labourers of Jamaica by the introduction of foreign labourers ; on the contrary, it is most important to the natives that this foreign aid should be given, deeply interested as they are in the general prosperity of the island and the support of the educated classes, and those of European extraction, on whom for a long time to come the civil institutions and the administration of the laws must mainly rest. And it is worthy of re mark that, in some colonies at least, the negroes them selves have evinced no repugnance whatever to the introduction of immigrant labourers, such as might be expected in countries where there is a competition for employment ; but that in many places the strangers have been very hospitably received by the negroes, and treated with a marked cordiality. If this reception and the advantages they meet with shall induce the immigrants to settle finally in the West Indies, there can be no doubt that their gain will be great in doing so. But, if they shall prefer to return to Africa with the property they may have accumulated, there will be a fairer prospect than has into that yet been opened of at length introducing that country the arts and habits of civilized life ; whilst the success of free labour in the West Indies will co-operate with these civilizing influences in ex tinguishing the slave trade, and it will no longer be the interest of nations claiming to be civilized to promote the worst barbarities of those on whom the advantages of Christianity have not yet been con ferred. I stated to the deputation which waited upon me some of the views which I have here developed, and, at their instance, I have thus communicated them to you; and as it appeared to them that some advantage might be derived from making them known to the Assembly of Jamaica, I have to request that you wil submit to that body a copy of this dispatch. I have, &c., (Signed) GREY. COURT CIRCULAR. Wilipson, WEDNESDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert took their accustomed early walk.

Prince Metternich will nut this year accompany his Majesty. Notwithstanding the fact that Baron Kaisersfeld, the Austrian envoy to the Helvetic Diet, has left the Swiss territory, the concentration of the Austrian troops on the Swiss frontier is such that in the little town of Bre genz alone there are three battalions of infantry. These troops are provided with every means for crossing the lake at a moment's notice. Austria is prepared for every emergency. Baron Kaisersfeld has taken up his quarters at Bregenz. As regards the military measures taken by Wurtemberg, the Stuttgard journals of the 2d November deny that any troops have advanced towards the Swiss frontier.

We have received Cape of Good Hope papers to the 7th of September, which contain an important proclamation from his Excellency Sir H. Pottinger, denouncing the Kafir chief Sandilla a rebel, and ordering his country to be invaded forthwith by the colonial forces. All classes and conditions of persons have been invited to be aiding and abetting in car rying out the intended measures, by assembling in commandos, under leaders appointed by themselves, and the booty to be captured by them will become the bona fide property of the captors. We subjoin the proclamation, with other extracts : (From the Graham's Town Journal of August 28.) IVEDNESDA Y.—We have information from Fort Beaufort which goes to show that the forbearance of our Government is having the worst possible effect upon the Gaika Kafirs. Macomo, who is permitted to perambulate Fort Beaufort and neighbourhood at his pleasure, does not scruple publicly to declare his conviction that the British Government is afraid of his countrymen, the Kafirs. He speaks of the troops and of the parade with contempt, and states plainly that no concession will be made by his people to gain the favour of the colonial authorities. The tone assumed by Sandilla is equally audacious. Every theom e t h h e i e f G a s o v s e u r tn n e r g b e a n s a b t t e i e t n u d e treated fi a w n e i t e h , d m is e r s e s g ag ar e d f , r telling his people not to listen to any messages from the colony, but to proceed with their ordinary occu pations. FRIDAY.—To-day the following proclamation has been issued by the Right Hon. her Majesty's High Commissioner, denouncing Sandilla, paramount chief of the Gaika tribes, a rebel to the Queen, and calling her Majesty's subjects to aid him in punishing that contumacious and refractory chief. This document is of peculiar interest, as well as of momentous im portance, as showing what the colony has escaped, and also what it ma y p repare f or. T h e tone of this proclamation is befitting her Majesty's High Com missioner : PROCLAMATION By his Excellency Major-General the Right Hon. Sir Henry Pottinger, Bart., G.C.8., Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the colony of the Cape of Good Hope, her Majesty's High Commissioner, &c. Whereas, the Gaika Kafir chief Sandilla was, in June last, called upon by my authority, and in con formity with the engagements entered into by him, in common with all the other Kafir chiefs, to deliver up a thief who had stolen 13 goats from the settlement of Stockenstrom (Kat River), and of whom he (San dilla) denied all knowledge, at a moment when it was positively ascertained that not only had he the culprit in his power, but that he had plundered him and other (innocent) persons belonging to the same kraal of the whole of their property, on the plea of punishing them: for the said theft. That whereas I deemed it to be my duty to direct that Sandilla should be called on to make atonement for the said breach of his engagements, in not de livering up the thief, as well as for his subsequent measures, which, instead of checking plunder and theft along the colonial border, were, in my estima tion, eminently calculated to encourage excesses ,of that nature, by allowing thieves and marauders to escape, whilst he (Sandilla) benefitted and enriched himself by confiscating their property, and that of other persons, against whom, in this instance, there was not even a pretence for a charge. And whereas Sandilla not only declined to make the atonement required of him, but sanctioned and encouraged his followers to repel by force of arms the detachment which had been sent to enforce my demand, by which violent proceeding two of her Majesty's subjects were killed, and several wounded, and Sandilla obviously thereby placed himself in the light of a rebel to the Queen's authority, and set at nought the paramount power which he had acknow ledged, and under the protection of which he had, cal certain defined terms, been admitted. And whereas the commissioner for the Gaika tribes has been, since the above described event, in frequent communication, under my instructions, with San dills, with the object of inducing him to make repa ration, so far as that was possible, for his rebellious and violent course, but without success. And whereas, to evince my deep anxiety to avoid a recommencement of hostilities, and to preserve and encourage feelings of good order and friendliness on both sides of the frontier, and among all classes of people, I lately directed it to be inti mated to Sandilla, that if he would, even at that mo ment, give in two hundred stand of arms, and seize and deliver up the thief who had been the cause of this discussion, .1 would pardon, on the Queen's behalf, all that had passed, and would allow matters to revert to their previous friendly footing, which intimation Sandilla has totally disregarded, and is further under stood to have adopted steps to defend his country, and to set her Majesty's authority at defiance. And whereas 1, taking it into my deep and length ened consideration, that such contumacious and headstrong behaviour cannot be longer overlooked, without endangering the general peace and tran quillity of the whole colony, and particularly both sides of the frontier, by disturbing the system which I have been for months past most anxiously and sedulously endeavouring to introduce and perfect; and, moreover, reflecting that where people dwell (as is the case with some of the colonists, and a part of the Gaika Kafir tribes) on either side of an ima ginary line of demarcation, it is alone by mutual rigid adherence to their engagements, by the strictest observance of good faith, and by crime being speedily and effectually punished, that the success of the desired system can be possibly secured, or even anticipated; have determined, in the Queen's name, and in virtue of the powers confided to me as her Majesty's High Commissioner, to have recourse to the only method that now remains to call Sandilla to account for his contumacy, and to vindicate the offended dignity and honour of the British Government. I do, therefore, hereby proclaim the said Gaika Kafir chief Sandilla to be a rebel, and denounce him as no longer under the protection of her Majesty's Government, and I do further hereby invite and call on all classes and conditions of persons residing in this colony, to be aiding and abetting in carrying my intended measures against the said rebel chief into effect, by assembling in commandos, to be headed by leaders appointed by themselves, at Shiloh, on the day of the ensuing month of September, and thence to enter, supported by her Majesty's regular troops, and the colonial native levies, the country of the said Sandilla. And I do hereby further proclaim and promise, as an inducement to all persons to come forward, that all cattle and other booty captured by such com mandos, belonging to, or found within the country of the said Sandilla, or any others who may take part with him, shall become the bona fide property of, and be retained by, the captors, and that no claim shall hereafter be made on the part of Government, or on any other pretence, for an account of, or the restoration or relinquishment of cattle or other pro perty so captured. And I do hereby further proclaim that all the other Gaika, T'Slambie, and Tambookie KaSr chiefs, the Bushman Madoor, and their followers, who have declared their wish and intention to remain neutral, and to abide by their engagements during the ap proaching hostilities, are and shall be understood and taken to be under the protection of the Queen of Eng land, so long as they shall act upon and be guided by the above• mentioned declaration ; and I do strictly, solemnly, and unqualifiedly enjoin and command all persons bearing allegiance to her Majesty to refrain from molesting such neutral (or friendly) Kafirs, and to consider the protection of them and their lives and GD A.B property to be aoparsamy Tin QERN ! ount duty; Dated at Graham's Town, this 27th day of August, 1847. HENRY POTTINGER. (From the Zuid• Afrikaan, of Sept. 6.) The post of last Saturday brought no additional information, except that the Kafirs are quite alive as which thl to the intended movement of the troops, say is about to take place on or about the 20th inst.* With reference to his former proclamation, her Majesty's High Commissioner had deemed it expe ftduhieretohftreotrontidineirre:hctoet the colony, the leo a nttye,n necessity tdiuo during i n o gf that a t l h l eppe willre s n o dp n ir s nogb r eahsbioldysi hostility ar g irti o ys n .e; for removing live stock and other movable property and he recommends them to adopt prec auti ons cordingly.
