SATURDAY.—The information from Block Drift re ceived last night is of a complexion which is well calcu lated to allay much of that apprehension which had been occasioned by the recent conferences lately held with the Kafir chiefs in that neighbourhood. Nothing can be more reprehensible, in the present stage of our dis pute with these people , consenting to parley with them, A rumour is prevalent in town, that his Excellency, at an interview granted at Block Drift to Sandilla, treated him with great indifference, and after very few words dismissed him with the assurance that unless 20,000 head of cattle, 500 horses, and 1,800 guns, were brought in within 14 days, be should commence active operations, and pursue him and his people into the country where they are now residing until they were driven across the Kei river. This offer of terms, under any circumstances, is objectionable, and only serves to excite hopes in the Kafir mind which never ought to And a place there. ,16•1 , 4.

A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the detects of nature has lately occurred In the case of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentleman residing at Northam, to Norfolk, who, in the year 1842. on returning from • arlestone darket to We' bred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair con- Sinned to come off; till he became. to use his own terms , "asp erfectly bald as if his head had been shaved ;" and the Rey. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the growth recommenced, and he has new to bo.st of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly tar itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger. RO LAND'S MACAS4A.R OIL preserves and reproduces the Hair ; prevents it from falling off or turning Grey ; Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour; frees It from Scurf and Dandruff, and makes it beauthully soft and curly. IV Beware of "spurious compounds" under the title of "MA CASSAR OIL," some under the "implied" sanction of Royalty and he Government Departments, with similar attempts at deception. ROWLAND'S MACASS kit OIL is sold by the proprietors, at 90, HATTON-GARDEN LONDON, and all respectable Chemists and Perfumers. - _ (DECORATIONS IN WOOD.—The unrivalled perfection at length attained by the patent process of carving enables its proprietors to offer to the public, at an extremely reduced price, every possible variety of carved wood for external and internal enrichment, thus substituting the genuine material for those numer ous imitations which have invariably bent found fragile or unsatis factory.

Tobago, 5,132 bags Mauritius, 10,880 bags 338 chests Brazil, 2,139 bags Madras, 158 boxes East India, and 203 barrels of Brazil, nearly all of which found rea dy buyers at fully previous prices, excepting the low brown qualities of Bengal and Madras, which only partly sold at rather easier rates. Privately a cargo of fine yellow Havannah (about 700 boxes) afloat, sold at 535. per cwt. COFFEE.—Privately about 3,600 Costa Rica realised from 365. to 425. per cwt.

SVOAS.—To-day them was much desire manifested to purchase all descriptions of West India Muscovado for every purpose, and advanced rates were offered ; but the high prices insisted upon by merchants operated considerably against business, and the quantity sold in the private market amounted to only 30 hhds and tierces, for which an advance on the quotations of Friday of 2s to 3s per cwt. was given. There was no public sale of Barbadoes. If holders had taken a small advance on Friday's prices the market would have been cleared. EAST INDIA. —This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in ex tensive request ; and at public sale 3.624 bags were all sold at an advance on the rates of Priday of is per cwt. REIINID.—To day the inquiries_ were numerous after all sorts of Refined goods for home consumption, and further advanced rates were offered, but the supply scanty. Bonded crushed Sugar is much in request, and prices have risen to 34s Gd a 35s fir first quality. FOREION.—To-day every kind of Foreign Sugar was ' much sought after by exporters, the home trade, and specu lators, and higher rates were offered, but business of moment was prevented by merchants insisting upon a considerable advance—indeed some refuse to make a price, and several parcels have been withdrawn from the market. Mauarrius.—This afternoon the demand was animated for Mauritius Sugar of all kinds, and 7,437 bags at auction were all disposed of, at an advance on those of Friday of 2s to 2s 6d per cwt for all descriptions. COFFEE.—This afternoon most kinds of Foreign Coffee were in excellent request; at public sale 2,421 bags Costa Rica were nearly all sold at full rates for the better sorts, but inferior went a little cheaper. Dia.—Duty has been paid on 406,4901bs at this port during the past week, and 6,000 packages arrived. The market has been in an inactive state for green Tea, and the low and middling qualities are offered rather under previous rates, the supply being large ; but for good and fine late quotations are insisted upon. The better sorts of Congou are little wanted, and can be obtained at a shade under last Tuesday's rates. Pouchong is not much wanted, and 4d to 9d is the value of low to fine quality. FEET.—There has only been some partial business doing privately; a parcel of damaged Patras Currants sold at 525, Elemes, in cases, from 43s to 455, and some drums Turkey Pulled Figs trom 44s to 465, and one parcel fine at 565. Sricna.—Pimento is in small supply, and being much in request, a further advance in prices has taken place. In Black Pepper a good deal has been doing privately in all sorts, but no improvement in value can be noted. For White the demand is on the increase, and prices on the rise. For East India African Ginger a good demand existed, and stiffer rates are paid. Cassia Lignea has been sparingly dealt in, and prices are going down. Srittrrs.—To-day there was little desire evinced to operate in Rum, and which is to be attributed to the probability of the unrestricted use of sugar and molasses being allowed in the distilleries and breweries; still holders were not inclined to take lower rates. Itcmco.—East India is held with firmness at an advance on the rates of last quarterly sale of 2d to 4d per lb. There has been a fair business transacted, the home trade being the chief operators. COCIIINEAL.—The demand has fallen off, and the market I having been well supplied, a decline in the value of Id per lb took place, and 158 bags of Honduras Silvers, at auction, , were only in part sold, at 5s 7d to 6s for mid to fine quality. NITRATE or SODA.—There has been more activity in the market, and prices have advanced to 165 6d to 17s per cwt, at which good business has been done. TURPENTINIL—Spirits have been sparingly dealt in, and there are willing sellers at 46s to 475, the stock being large. In Rough the operations are upon a more extended scale, but not at better prices. 105 being taken. Tar is in fair request, and the stock is still small. 011.1.—For Linseed Oil rather lower rates having been submitted to occasioned the demand on the spot to be good at 25s to 25a 3d per cwt, and the export orders executed have been upol rather a larger scale. For forward delivery there are few purchasers, although there are sellers at the moderate rates of 25s 6d to26sper cwt. Rape Seed Oil hasbeen in excellent request, and prices are still on the advance. Olive hasbeen disposedof to some extent, at further advanced rates. Palm cannot be quoted dearer, but the demand has been active. For Cocoa Nut higher rates have been obtained. The ar rivals of all kinds of Fish Oil have been again to a small extent only, whereas the deliveries are still large, and likely so to continue. TALLow.—The market has a very firm appearance, for all descriptions of Tallow; the stock is on the deerease, and the deliveries are going on largely—although prices are much above those of this time last season. The Right lion. G. S. Byng and Mr. H. Tufnell, M.P., were prevented by the recent death of Mr. Byng from attending Lord John Russell's dinner on Monday. TEMPTATION AND ATONEMENT. Mrs. Gore's clever novel " Men of Capital," is to be succeeded by " Temptation and Atonement," —a tale written in a very different style, and which exhibits the extraordinary versatility of the author's genius. The heart-stirring earnestness of Godwin is said to be rivalled in the pages of this story, which is one of the most thrillingour innatur e.terest, and appeals to all t he better sympathies of Its appearance will, doubtless, be hailed with satisfaction as affording proof that one of our most popular writers has not been slow to profit by the hints of the press, and is turning her unquestioned talents to sterling uses. " STRAWBERRY HILL is once more attracting atten tion, but instead of being invited to a sale of its literary and artistical treasures, the public is entertained by an introduc tion to its personal celebrities, in a very remarkable work, just published, under this title, from the pen of the author of Maids of Honour," " Shakspeare and his Friends," &c. In its lively pages Horace Nik al pole makes an extremely in teresting hero, and when we say that his associates, in the clever and a musing story in which he figures so prominently, are the facetious George Selwyn, the brilliant Charles Townshend, the famous ' Bubb Doddington, the witty Sir Charles Bary Williams, with Bolingbroke, Pulteney, Pel ham, and then other active spirits who were such prominent features in the society of a century since, and that among their fair contemporaries we find the eccentric Lady Town shend, the gay Lady Archibald Hamilton, and such of their celebrated rivals in wit and beauty as were regarded as the chief ornaments of the rival Courts of George 11., and bis Heir Apparent, we have sufficiently indicated the great attraction which" Strawberry Hill" possesses for all novel readers. As an historical novel, indeed, there cau he no question that it ie one of the most amusing that has been published for some years. 37 1 4 22 1 / 2 14 3 / P 9 1 4 36 1 4 11% 714 " Some few days ago, Captain Hogg's burghers ar rived here, amounting to .500, and were encamped below the great barrack, near the lover camp. For same days past this town has been excited by reports of their insubordination. On the morning of the 25th, a party of about 100 were ordered to escort waggons to Waterloo Bay. At tat o'clock, the whole body of Hogg's burghers marched up in perfect order, whith pack oxen, bag , and baggage,' and drew up in line before Major Smith's door, where they halted to have a conference with him, which lasted about twenty minutes. He was much excited, and left them, directing his course to the commandant's (Lieutenant-Colonel Richardson's) quar ters. In perfect order they marched across the parade, down Campbell-street, across the stone bridge, and took the road to Graham's Town. Before their departure the alarm bugle blew; there was a general turn out of troops, I suppose about 70 to 100 men, with a small howitzer, under command of Captain Ward, to endea ' your to arres►t her progress until the commandant's pleasure was known. When the burghers began to sscend the hills, to arrest their progress Captain Ward ordered three different blank shots to be discharged from the howitzer, yet the burghers quietly and deli berately pursued their course, driving their pack oxen before them. At length orders arrived for the troops to return to quarters, and in a few minutes our town was tranquil. About two hours after the departure of the burghers the Rev. Messrs. Calderwood and Beaver started on a mission of remonstrance. They overtook the troops on this side of Leo Fontein. By persuasion and assurances they induced the body to return. The greater part arrived here the same evening. Now they are with us quiet and orderly. " The unfortunate affair I fear will produce a very mischievous spirit amongst all the coloured people, both bastard, Hottentot, and Fingoe, and unless the Govern ment render to them ample justice and strict discipline, I fear we shall yet have as great a malady internally as externally. Kafirland is not uninformed of the catas trophe; it has spread far and near. We shall see the result. " One of these mutineers; it appears, was unfortunately shot at the Blinkwater Drift, by a sergeant of the 91st Regiment. The poor man is alive, but in a very pre carious state." The following general orders have been issued:— " Camp, Head-quarters, Oct. 27.

The present day is one of vast importance, but at the lame time of sincere pain to the unfortunate frontier in habitants. They will, in public meeting assembled, consider the propriety of applying to the House of Com • mons for compensation for losses sustained through the present Kafir war. Though far removed from the scene of deliberation, and not having before us the mournful proofs, the living statues of that long catalogue of be reavement and suffering, upon which this most just and fair claim will be based, still we can conceive what the sufferers will feel on the occasion. It will, no doubt, give thtm some consolation to know that the whole colony, without any exception, participate in their suf rings, and that nothing will give greater satisfaction than the full allowance of the compensation claimed. ""We have information from Lower Albady to-day, con firmatory of previous accounts, that a considerable num ber of hafirs have entered that part of the district. A patrol Sr. m Fa.merfield,: on Thursday, discovered that about 100 had hivuuacksd the previous night on the farm, Sprig Grove (the junction of the Kareiga with the Bushman's River), from which place they had gone off in three parties, There call be little doubt but that it was some of these marauders who carried of M'Luckie's cattle, and subseuttently attacked the oxen of the forage waggons on their way from Dell's Farm. . . . . We have a vague report also, that a patrol under the Field Cornet Buchner, of Oliphant's Hock, have also fallen in with these Kafirs, and that two of them were shot in a skirmish which ensued between the parties. THE WEATHER — andihe PARKS. LATEST FRONTIER INTELLIGENCE. (Frm the Graham's Town Jou? nal, Nov. 7.) WEDNESDAY.-Information was given to the autho rities this afternoon, that Mr. Bcrrington, of Port Frances, on crossing the flat near Waay Plants, had seen distinctly the spoor of nine Kafirs, and of a drove of about 80 head of cattle.. The impressions were quite fresh, and must have been made a very short time before being discovered. The marauders were moving towards the Kap River Bush, and which is a direct line for the extensive jungle of the Komi. Information was received to-day which accounts for the spoor of the cattle and Kafirs, seen by Mr. Barring ton leading across the flat at Waay Plaats as above mentioned. These cattle had been taken by Kafirs from the farm of Mr. M'Luckie, near Lombard's Post (not far from Theupolis). From the account just received it ap peal s that they were carried off about the middle of the day on Tuesday, by a strong party of Kafirs, and who seem to have taken their measures with considerable ad dress. Several armed Fingoes were out with the cattle at the time, and these state that the Kafirs divided them selves into three parties; that one commenced firing upon them, while another drove away the cattle, and that a third posted themselves on a height as a reserve, watching the whole proceeding. After they had got clear off with the cattle they heard the marauders (lancing and yelling in the bush, a significant indication of confidence in their own strength and number, which, however, as the sequel will show, they appear to have greatly miscalculated. It seems that on the information given by Mr. Berrington, a party of the new levy. stationed at Manley's Flat and Waay Plaats, under the command of Captain O'Brien, immediately started off in pursuit on the spoor, and succeeded in overtaking the thieves and their booty near Sand Drift on the Fish River. The whole were quickly recovered. The marau ders on observing the force that was in chase of them in stantly relinquished their booty, arid escaped into the bush, leaving behind them a calf, which they had just slaughtered for food, and which was brought away by the victors. FRIDAY.—The following from the ceded territory came to hand to-day:— On the 31st of October, Stock sent twenty head of cattle for those stolen at Newtondale (two of his men being now prisoners for that crime, on a charge of steal ing them from that post, when on their way to the go vernor's camp). Captain M‘Lean refused to receive them, and ordered them back immediately, as the Go vernor requires the identical cattle stolen to be returned. On the 2d of November, Stock sent in nineteen head of cattle, three horses, and two guns, as the full rem nant of property taken from the colony by his tribe ! He stated that all his people are now at the Shusu, and wished to know in what light he is viewed by our Government. On the same day, Nov. 2, Jan Taatioe himself ar rived at Fort Peddie. It seems he had been sent for 1)) the Rev. J. Brownlee to come from King William Town, and explain to the Governor his actual position with re gard to the war and the Government. He came well dressed and mounted, attended by about twenty men, all mounted. There seems to have been some misconcep tion on the part of this chief as to the object for which he had been advised to come here. He assumed an air of ridiculous self importance, which seems to have given offence to.the diplomatic agent, who considered his tone and bearing to be very unbecoming in one from whom the Government had a right to expect explanation. Taatsoe, however, finding that he had only been sent for by Mr. Brownlee, and not by the Governor, seemed affronted, and said ho had no communication to make. He had been sent for, and expected to have received some communication from the Governor. The Rev. Ur. Brownlee offered to proceed with him to the Governor, but this Taataoe declined, saying he should return home, and decide for himself what he should do f T H z r t z e e l) o t n is d „ Captain Maclean thought it uto d ry soon leave the post immediately, which k y t e very s e is thought by some t hat Tzatsoe is at present carried away with the notion that seems to prevail among the Kafirs, that the English are not able to continue the war, and that we are as anxious for peace as many of themselves are. While this notion prevails among them, a sure and safe settlement will hardly be arrived at. This morning information came in, that an attempt was made yesterday by Kafirs to carry off the oxen, with a number of waggons, on their way from Mr. Dell's lama, west side of the Kowie, to Graham's Town. By the activity and determination of the drivers the marauders were, however, foiled in their attempt, and however, stabbed cattle rescued. One fine ox w as , stabbed in nine places with essogai s , an d danger ously wounded that on its arrival Kafir towns One i m mediately slaughtered. el said to Lave been shot in this affair ; but which is s rests merely back the fact that one of th e marauders was seen to fall b,c into the bush, as though struck by a ball then fired at him by one of the drivers named Brown, and who is considered a good s h ot. On the previous Saturday the same party was attacked near the same spot, namely, the Brak River, about seven miles S.W. of Graham's Town, by a party of Kafirs, seven of whom wire seen. On this occasion they got may with the ox n, Cr.." of which they slaughtered in the bush, but they were followed so closely that not only were the oxen retaken, but even DREADFUL ACCIDENTS ON THE ICE IN ST. JAMES'S PARK. The frost still continues with increased severity, and consequently the various Parks were thronged with thousands of visitors during Sunday. At midnight on Saturday the thermometer at the receiving-house of the Royal Humane Society in Hyde Park was as low as 27, but at 8 o'clock on Sunday morning it had risen two dcgreeF, viz., to 29, and at noon to 30. On Sunday night, at eight o'clock, it had again fallen to 29; but from the appearance of the atmosphere and the state of the ba rometer, t ives a prospect of a heavy fall of snow. The ice in all the Parks was most dangerous, especially that in St. James's Park, which was completely under water, and where several accidents of a serious character oc curred. The following particulars of the proceedings in the different Parks, with the official report of the ac cidents, obtained from Mr. Superintendent Williams, will be found most accurate: — THE SERPENTINE, HIDE PARK, &c.—Upon the Ser pentine the number of skaters and sliders exceeded 10,000, although the ice was 24 inches in thickness. Upon the long water in Kensington-gardens the number of skaters, including several members of the Skating Club upon the ice, which was three inches thick, was about 6,000. On the Round pond the skaters and sliders numb-red between 5 000 and 6,000, the ice being three inches thick. Fortunately on neither of these pieces of water did an accident take place, owing to the unremitting attention of the icemen, under the direction of Mr. Superintendent Williams. ST. JAMES'S PARK.—The number of skaters and sliders upon this piece of ice, which was but two inches thick, exceeded 10,000. In consetuence of the rotten state of the ice, the men belonging to the Royal Humane Society tried to keep the skaters to one portion of the frozen surface which was safest, but without effect, and the result was, that during the day immersion after im mersion kept continually taking place. Mr. Williams, on seeing the dangerous state of the ice, and the im minent peril that hundreds were placed in, felt it his duty to send additional men. The services of Dr. M'Cann and two assistants were also required from eleven o'clock until five in the evening in attending on the persons who became immersed. The icemen on duty had enough to do. and frequently during the day their lives were placed in imminent peril in rescuing the foolhardy persons who would venture upon places where they were told not to go. Several of the machines were broken during the rescuing of parties from the water. The following is a list of persons who had a very narrow escape of their lives, and who must inevitably have perished but for the praiseworthy exertions of the icemen : At eleven o'clock, Samuel Clark, of No. 25, King's Head-court, Holborn, broke into ten feet water, opposite the marquee, which was the most dan gerous part •f the ice, and near which nearly all this accidents happened ; he was rescued by iceman Charles Harris, assisted by Deputy-Superintendent Godfrey. The Lext accident happened to John Morgan, residing at 5, Victoria-road, Pimlico, who was rescued by iceman Foot. About one o'clock Thomas Woolhatch, of 142, Drury-lane. broke into ten feet water, and was rescued by iceman Harris. At two o'clock, iceman Knapp, with Deputy-Superintendent Godfrey, whilst endeavouring to rescue a person, whose name could not be ascertained, residing at No. 91, Commercial• road, became immersed in ten feet water, Knapp being under for nearly a minute. On being got out, he was conveyed to the marquee in a dangerous state. Shortly after this, John Dawe, re siding at No. 10, Willow-walk, Hackney-road, broke through into six feet water, but was rescued by iceman J. Cox. About four o'clock, three persons, residing at No. 8, Little Newport-street, Leicester-square ; 55, Bond-street, and 6, Bull's Head- court, Smithfield, but whose names, owing to the confusion which prevailed, could not be ascertained, broke into five fee ',water, but. were rescued by icemen J. and W. Cox. In conveying them to the marquee the crowd was so great that the men hod the greatest difficulty in getting there. The last. accident happened at half-past four, to John Sellis, residing at 4, Vine-street, Waterloo•road, by breaking into five feet water, and remaining under upwards of a minute. He was rescued by deputy superintendent God frey, who also got immersed in resuintc him. Many of the cases were of such a dangerous character as to com pel them to remain in the marquee until a late hour hest evening. At one time the cases were so numerous that six persons were obliged to receive medical attendance at once, and there being but two beds, three were placed in each, and the seventh remained in the warm bath for a short time. The persons who witnessed the accidents complained that the police or the park. keepers would have been doing their duty most properly in nut allowing any one to venture on the ice. REGENT'S PARK—The ice in this park was very dan gerous, but the ❑umber of skaters and sliders exceeded 20,000. Ont of this immense number but env slight immersion t (Tarred to a gentleman named Putt k, re siding in High street, Marylebone, who having received attention at the marquee was enabled to go home. During the day a great number of persons were severely wounded by falls, and were surgically attended at the marquee. REPRFAIENTATION OF SCARB z ,U(ll.—The follo.v. ing address has been issuru o) ti e Earl of Molgrave to the electors of this borough :—" Gentl?men—llaving ascertained that Lieutenant-Colonel Fhipps is obliged to relinquish the hope that ht. had entertained of becoming a representative of the borough of Scarborough at the next general election, and being aware that there is a large and powerful body of the electors who h ave uni formly advocated and supported the Liberal interest, 2 venture to offer myself as a candidate for the honour of your suffrages, in the hope that the closeness of rela tionship, and the similarity of political principles may induce the Liberal electors of Scarborough to extend to me the promise of that support which, I have reason to believe, would have insured Colonel Phipps' success. The great fiscal questions affecting the commerce of Great Britain appear to be settled, and the experience of this 3 ear proves how wise was the fore sight which removed prohibitory duties upon the food of the people. Great social and moral improvements ' remain to be effected, and I feel sufficient confidence in the intentions of the Government to believe that they will produce such plans as I shall be able to support. Wishing, however, to be able to give honest and impar tial consideration to all individual measures, I shall en- deavour to keep myself unpledged to any section of a party, feeling certain that should I be fortunate enough to become your representative, I shall be best enabled to perform my duties to you by acting, to the best of my judgment, upon the great principles of civil and reli gious liberty in the consideration of all practical mea sures proposed. I shall immediately have the honour of waiting upon the electors individually, when I shall be better able to answer personally, than to detail within the ordinary limits of an address, the broad principles upon which I seek the support and confidence of the electors of Scarborough.—l remain, &c., Scarborough, Jan. 14.

Atter look ing about for some time, it was discovered that the vessel had floated off in the night, and with her sails up, na vigated herself slifely into the Langhorne river, where she was taken po,sessi-n of by the Llanstephan fisher men, under the command of Captain Daniel, who caused her anchor to be let down, and thus secured her from being dashed to pieces against the reeks. Great credit is due to Captain Daniel for his promptitude in taking care of the vessel, and preventing her from being plea• dered by wreckers. The Catherine is a beautiful vessel, and it is supposed that she got into this per•lous predi cament in con,t qu. ace of the captain mistaking the Worm's Head for the Bishop's, as the vessel was pro ceedipv up the North Channel towards Scotland.— Cambrian. We understand that it is the intention of Govern ment to erect forthwith a battery at Penlee Point, so as to command Cawsand Bay. The Admiralty are determined to put the whole of the coast in a proper state of defence, in consequence of which the building of the proposed new bridge at Looe is suspended. A battery will be erected at Looe harbour, so as to command the anchorage ender Loos Island. The whole line of approach from Leo. to Plymouth is to be put into a state of defence immediately.—i'areseetk Packet. ~"'
