Perhaps it ought rather to be more ac curately observed that they have both wr i tten very recently their opinions upon political affairs generally—having but small opportunity f or "speaking" those poor Eminent Unfortunates ! At any rate by word of hand if not by word o f mouth, they have each of them somehow given utterance to theirviews upon the present situation —the ex-Member for the West Riding, the re jected of Rudierafield, and the once popular fa vourite, the now ignominiously discarded re presentative of the great liberal constituency of Manchester. And those Opinions, those Vi--ws, Senti ments—what about them? Why, anyone who happens to have read either Mr. BRIGHT'S letter, or Mr. COBDEN'S letta, can see at a glance how very sore they are, how exquisitely they are smarting under the Stroke of Fortune that, falling upon them both simultaneously, proved to each a heavy blow and a great discouragement. Eri- den tly each of them regards himself as a sort of a Political AlAttyr or Confessor. They are very ill used, shamefully treated, ungratefully thrown overboard —or, if not this, merely after all the Victims of a Blunder or of a Conspiracy, of some sudden Surprise, or of some odious Machinations. Now, distinctly and deliberately, we do here in sist that the decision arrived at by the majority of the liberal electors of Man- at a correct conclusion. The ordnance and corn.- missariat estimates are now included, so that the whole outlay may be ascertaiued without searching through different departments, and under various heads. There is no longer that attempt at mys tification under which gross jobs were perpetrated, honourable gentlemen b'ing but too frequently completely in the dark respecting large sums which they were recklessly voting. There may cer tainly be further ameliorations, but considerable progress has been made in rendering the public accounts, as they ought to be, easily intelligible by every man of ordinary abilities. The great point is to combine the greatest practicable efficiency with sound economy. We do not mean that " penny wise and pound foolish" policy that in the long run materially enhances the national expenditure. "Si vis pacem para bellum" is in every respect a judicious maxim. A. nation arrogating to itself a high position, and de sirous of at least participating in controlling the destinies of the world, cannot afford to be ever taken by surprise. She must, in accordance with the motto of the chivalrous Scot, be " ready, aye ready for the field," remembering that her honour and interests may be almost irretrievably damaged, chester and of Huddersfield meant neither one thing nor the other—neither a sur prise nor a conspiracy. The triumph of AcK ROYD at Huddersfield, and of POTTER and TURNER at Manchester, resulted neither from a blunder on the part of the defeated candidates, nor from any insidious machinations on the part of their anta gonists. The events we are talking about took place, recollect, not in a hole in a corner, but upon a great public arena, in the face of day, under the vigilant observation of many thousands. They were decisions pronounced—and so far we may for once solace ourselves, during the absence of the Ballot, by drawing an atom of good out of tons upon tons of evil—they were decisions pro nounced, not under the cover of the Ballot-box, but loudly, bluntly, boldly, vote by vote, at the various polling-booths erected in that borough of Huddersfield and in that city of Manchester. Constituents, observe, at each place knew precisely what it was they were doing—and they did it. They did it deliberately and resolutely, in one case by hundreds, and in the other by thou sands. They preferred Mr. ACKROYD to Ur. COBDEN. They chose to send Sir JOHN POTTER and Mr. TURNER to the House of Commons rather than either Mr. JOHN BRIGHT or Mr. MILNER, GIBSON. Why ? Not because they were ungrateful—not because they had forgotten the good services done to the nation at large years ago by Messrs. COBDEN, BRIGHT, and GIBsoN. Those good services they still re member, those good services we have never ceased to remember, we cannot very easily cease to re-• member, vividly and with unaffected admiration No—but the Free Trade advocates were rejected, were scorned, were thrown overboard, were ex pelled from Parliament, Because—years after Protection had been dead and buried, done away with, past and almost forgotten, (partly through their agency—we will even say principally through their agency)—they shamefully took advan tage of the High Position accorded to them by a grateful community, to bring the Liberal Party into ridicule b the championship of Principles at once the most unpatrio de and the most preposter ous. and even under the most favourable circumstances the loss of men and money greatly enhanced, by any temporary failure. It does not, however, by any means follow that a full war complement of trained men must always be maintained. It is the nucleus of an efficient force that is required THAT—if you will—is the reason of the recent lecision arrived at by the electors of Manchester , tad the electors of Huddersfield I That—in every sense of the term—is about the English of it ! Not Ingratitude towards the resolute champions ,f Free Trade, observe, but—lndignation at the advocates of the miserable Peace-at-any-Price Humbug, those perverse and crotchotty Carica i,urists of Philanthropy ! During the last few years Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BRIGHT and their colleagues have been talking with au Authority that events have proved they have really and truly not possessed. The great Irish Liberator used to speak, and to speak most accurately, and with a genuine (and not a merely assumed) autho rity not so much as the representative of any one constituency upon the other side of St. George's Channel, as literally and. positively the " Member for all Ireland." And he was so. He was to all intents and purposes not so much the representative of a few hundreds, or even of a few thousands, in any particular locality, as he was, in point of actual fact, the representative, the organ, the incarnation of eight millions of that Roman C?.tholic population ! Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BRIGHT have been talking arro gantly (and, to the more credulous and less dis cerning, authoritatively), for some years past— scarcely so much as the mouth-pieces of the Liberal party iu the North of England, us actually of ,the more liberal-minded of the whole Anglo-Saxon race in both hemispheres. They have been talk ing so arrogantly and so long thus, that at last when a new General Election affords their consti tuents, or would-be constituents, up in the North, an opportunity of repudiating these preposterous and extravagant pretentious on their part—le ! and behold, a sudden silence falls rather ridicu lously upon the roaring of these Political Boa nerges. This Light of the Nations, everywhere, is snuffed out—is extinguished. The Manchester School is what Brother JONATHAN calls " cata wampously chawed. up." The Bubble Humbug of Politics, has burst—sharing the fate of all other bubbles : in Speneerian language— ". . Like bladders blowen up with wind, Which being prickt, do vanish into noughts !" Into such utter noughts, in truth, that we should not have cared thus to "point the moral," and "adorn the tale" of their disappearance from the legislative arena, but that the Ghosts of them evidently want Laying—judging from the ap parition of the " sheeted dead," as recently wit• nessed by many persons in the public newpapers, in the "Letters" of Mr. BRIGHT, and Mr. COB DEN. There is but one solitary pleasantry dis cernable in either, and that is merely implied ; but it is implied in both ! Evidently both Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BRIGHT " feel " their Downfall, but each appears, in turn, to console himself like Mawworm, in the play, by saying " I likes to be despised ! " which can easily be added to in the hour of emer- gency. Every single man will be able to take charge of one or more recruits, to lick the raw material into shape, and to teach the yokel not merely to fight in a manner befitting an English soldier, but also to perform all the multifarious duties comprised in " the art of war," not the least important whereof is the science of cookery, so utterly unknown in the English army. This is the policy which Lord PALMERSTON advo cates, and which he has expressed in the following manner, viz., that "while our military establishment is not numerically larger than is really required for the emergencies of the time, it ought to be so I organised as to be capable of speedy and great en largement, and to contain within itself those ele ments of science which are becoming every year more necessary for military establishments, and also that those who may have to command it should be practised in those military evolutions which they nay have to perform on taking the field at home or abroad !" This is the correct principle. Theory is very well in ifs way but it is " practice that makes perfee." We cannot, of course, expect to have all the incidents of a real campaign in these " piping times of peace ; " but sufficient may be learned of mimic warfare, in all its details, to render the soldiers skilful marksmen, able to take care of themselves in an enemy's country, and to keep themselves, their horses, weapons, and ammunition—in fact, all the personnel and materiel of war—in good working order and condition, to be as little dependent on others as possible in all that conduces to their own comfort and efficiency. It is, therefore, that we regard the outlay on Aldershot as money well applied, although the practice may be rendered much more efficacious in producing men qualified for any emergency to which they may probably be subjected, at the shortest possible notice. We need only add that the total increase over the estimates of 1853-4 is 1,611,5261. That for the effective service is 1,658,787 —it being 9,025,3601. against 7,404,2911. in the corres ponding year ; while there is a decrease in the non-effective branch of 9,5341., and in the charge for the Yeomanry, which it is not proposed to call out this year. Some of these charges, too, are merely temporary, being incidental to the state of transition from war to peace, through which the country is now passing. In the above we have merely looked to general principles, which are on the whole satisfactory, there are, however, some of the details that may require future , notice. The Countess of Dunraven gave a grand b al last even ing, at' the family mansion, in Belgrave-square. His Royal Highness the Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Meinin gen honoured the countess with his presence. Their Serene Highnesses the Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe-Weimar were also among the early arrivals. Lord John Scott has arrived at the Clarendon from Canston Rugby, Warwickshire. The Rev. Mr. and Lady Frances Simpson have arrived at Claridge's Hotel. Hans Christian Andersen is about to visit England and to accept the hospitalities of Mr. Charles Dickens, under whose auspices he will doubtless see London and its inhabitants in the best light. MONEY ORDER OFFICE.—On the Ist of June money as order offices will be opened at Lacock, Wilt s , an d at sage, West Cork. DEATH OF Ma. R.

At the Wir'.; Riding Sessions he had for some time a leading practice ; arid as a thoroughly soun-1, ingenious, and learned lawyer, had few superiors in Westminster Hall. I DEATH OF MR. DAVIES, M.P.—We regret to record the death of D. A. S. Davies, E.g., M.P. for Carmar. thenshire, which event took place suddenly, at the University Club, on the evening of Friday last. Mr. Davies, who was a barrister-at-law, and for many years chairman of the Cardiganshire Quarter Sessions, was first returned for Carmarthenshire in 1842. In politics be was a Cou=ervative, and he voted against the Go vernment on the subject of the Chinese war. Mr. Davies was in the 66th year of his age. THE LIBERAL CAUSE IN SOUTH ESSEX.—The Right Hon. Henry Labouchere, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, has consented to preside at a public dinner, which is to take place at Chelmsford, on Wednesday, June 10, to celebrate the return of Mr. Richard Baker Wingfield, and the triumph of the Liberal cause at the late general election. The right bon. gentleman will be supported by Mr. J. A. Hardcastle, M.P., Sir E. N. Buxton, Bart,, M.P., Mr. C. Buxton, M.P., Mr. G. Rebow, M.P., Mr. Western, M.P., Major Warburton, M.P., Sir John Page Wood, Bart., and Sir C. C. Smitb, Bait. It is rarely indeed that it falls to the lot of the Prime Minister to discharge the functions of a subordinate official—it is still more rare to find a man ably and efficiently fulfilling the duties which he performed nearly half a century previously. These phenomena were, however, witnessed in the House of Commons on Monday evening, when Lord PALMERSTON, with a degree of tact and vigour peculiarly his own, brought forward the Army Estimates, clearly and distinctly explaining the nature of the changes that had been intro duced, and the nature of the principles that regulated the force to be maintained during the present year, and generally in times of peace, and fully justifying many items—we cannot say all— of the additional expenditure required for the military establishments. The comparison was very properly made with the corresponding period of 1853-4, being the last year before the com mencement of the Russian war, when there was general tranquillity, and our forces were on the Peace Establishment. MAILS FOB MATJRITILTS,—The Government of Mauri tius have altered the arrangements for the departure of the colonial mail packet from Adea to Port Louis, and, in future, the packet will leave Aden after the arrival of the mail.; de:patched from London on the 4th of each month via Southampton, and on the 10th of each month via Marseilles. Additional mails for Mauritius, how ever, will cintinue to be made up for conveyance as far as Aden, by the packets leaving Southampton on the 20th of the month, and by the route of Marseilles on the 26th of the month. SouTaAmProx, Tuesday.—The screw steam-ship Be renguer, Captain Mercadal, sailed today for Havre, Santander, Corunna, Vigo, Cadiz, Malaga, Carthagena, .Alicante, Valencia, Byrcelesia, and Marseilles ; she has six paasengers, and a cargo consisting of 456 bags of cocoa, 100 cocoa nuts, 39 bales of cinnamon, and 86 packages of general cargo. The Saxon, belonging to the Union Screw Company, Captain Balaton, from Ham burg for Liverpool, laden with grain, spirits, and a general cargo, has put in here for repairs, having broken her shaft on Monday, off 0 wer's Point, and lost her screw. The screw steamer Petropolis has been examined to day in dry dock, and it being found that her screw has received no damage. she proceeds to sea at midnight on her voyage to Lisbon and the Brazils. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 6 per mille premium, and the short exchange on London is 25.271 per 1/. sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4231 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per U. sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore nearly 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than i n Eir m b urr . The, rcurie of exc'lsnr ,, . mt New York on London for bill 4 at 60 days' eight ik• 1091 percent.. which, when compared with the Mint prop rti >ns between the two countries, shows that the exchange is about at par. And after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the importation of gold from America, No apology was required from the Pre mier for undertaking this work. It would, indeed, be far better if the explanation of principles should be made, on every occa sion, by the Ministerial leader, in the repre sentative branch of the Legislature, and that the support of the various details only devolved on arm who had not a seat in the Cabinet. It is an unque,tion , tbie improvement to find everything connected with tne milltAry expenditure contained in the same set of estimates, so that a synoptical view may be taken by those iptereeted in arriving THE SUN, s LONDON, WEDNESDAY E , i• Nr3, Mt V 27, V 4.57 It is est'nated that the Ltindhill Colliery explosion will entail an expense of from 12,0001. to 15,0001. on the proprietors, apart from the loss of int-rest on capital, PARLIAMENTARY BILLS.—Lord Palmerstob's Olth Bill, the Lord Advocate's Reg,i-tration of Voters (Scot land) Bill, and the Attorney General's Fraudulent Trus tees Bill were issued yo,terday, THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE —LIVERPOOL, Tnesday,—ller Mhje,ty's ship Agametnnon is 4xpeeted here to load with tha . part of the came manufactured at Birkenhead, and which was intended for the Niagara.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY MORNING. The Moniteur publishes the following : LEVEE AT LIOLYROOD PALACE.—The second levee of the Lord High Commissioner was held in Holyrood Palace on Saturday morning. In addition to a consider able number of private gentlemen, the judges of session and justiciary, along with the gentlemen of the bar in their judicial robes, attended the levee. Shortly after wards they returned to Parliainent.equ ar e in a long line of carriages.

TEE FORBES MACKENNE ACT.—We understand that a deputation of the licensed victuallers of Scotland pro ceed this day (IVlonday) to London to urge on Parlia ment the necessity of a committee of the House of Com mons to inquire into the working of this act, on which such a diversity of opinion exists. We believe they are assured of considerable support from a number of Eng lish members, who consider that the Public houses Act of Scotland may with justice be assimilated to that of England.—Nortlt British, Mail. THE GREAT GLOBE.—An addition has been made to the numerous attractions of the Great Globe in Leices ter-square, in the shape of a grand moving diorama of the scenery of Upper India and the Gauges. The dio rama comprises no fewer than forty-two tableaux of the principal cities, temples, palaces, and mountains, with scenic effects, illustrative of the menueis and customs of Indian life. Calcutta, the City of Palaces, of course open the series, and ite memorable localities and buildings are fully and truthfully .presented. Thence the spectator is conducted by boat and dawk up the country, passing in his route the famous temple of Juggernaut, during the period of the great festival of Rath Jattra, till be arrives at the sacred City of Be nares. Numerous ♦iews are given of the celebrities of the great centre of Hindoo devotion. The remaining scenes conduct to the capital of the Mogul dynasty at Agra, closing with the famous Taj-Mahal. The dio rama is accompanied by au explanatory lecture, which is admirably delivered. The views are very beautiful, and elicited repeated expressions of admiration. MURDER IN LicsarooL.—On Monday night a man named Davis, a tailor, formerly in the police force, arei Robert Reuses, a sailor; belonging to one of the Cunard steamers, were drinking together at a public-him -4e in Liverpool. Reuse, left Davis in the public-house, and the letter, at whose house Reuses lodged, on going home found his wife and the sailor together in the bedroom. He immediately ran out and came back accompanied by an acquaintance named Hodson. They found Reuses alone in the bedroom, and Davis stabbed him several times in the breast with a pair of scissors, crying out to Hodson, "Keep out of my way, or I'll serve you the same." Reuses died in about ten minutes, without hav ing uttered a. word. Davis was brought before the magistrates yesterday, when he admitted the murder, but urged that he had sufficient provocation. THE CANTERBURY MURDER.—The magistrates of Can terbury having investigated the conduct of Inspector Parker and police-constable Elvey, in perraithing the young man Fox to go at large after their attention had been called, on the evening of May 13, to his murderous designs upon Mary Aun Hadley, designs which, through their neglect, he was able to execute on the fo lowing morning, the decision of the court was that Inspector Parker he suspended for the space of six calendar menthe, and that Pelice-constable Elvey be suspended for one month. One of the magistrates remarked that there ap peared to be a great mistake in the minds of the p lice ; they seemed to think that they must not take persons into custody unless they were given in charge. That was quite wrong. When they found a ma❑ about to commit a felony they should take him into custody at " The Plenipotentiaries of France, Austria, Great Britain, Prussia, Russia, and Switzerland, assembled together to-day, at the Ministry for Foreign .Affairs, and signed a treaty, which settle, in definitive manner, the question of Neuchatel, by the renunciation of his Majesty the King of Prussia of the sovereign rights which treaties at tributed to him over that Principali , y, and by means of engagements contracted by the Swiss Confederation, which are of a nature to satisfy the high solicitude of the King Frederick William for the Neucatelons. " The text of the treaty will be published after the exchange of ratifications, which will take place in one-and-twenty days." AMERICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LITERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING. The Liverpool and Philadelphia Screw Steam ship Company's screw steamship Kangaroo is off the port, with advices from New York to the 14th inst., one day later. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. It is asserted that the protocol on the Neu chatel question was signed this evening. - A letter from Nantes of the 24th in the Con stitutionnel gives an account of the Grand Duke's visit to Indret : " When the authorities came out in the Pari sien steamer to pay their respects to the Prince they found the Reine Hortense at anchor, but as his Imperial Highness was reposing, after the fati gues of a very rough passage, they were compelled to remain until he was visible. When the Grand Duk 3 entered the cabin where the authorities were assembled, he was astonished at seeing so many embroidered uniferms, and said that he had hoped to be received without any ceremony. The Prince and his suite then embarked on board the smaller steamer, which proceethd on her way under the direction of Lieut. de Werneia, who has the com mand of the port and of the pilots of the Loire. A handsome breakfast was ready, with covers laid for eighteen persons, and during the repast an animated conversation was kept up. The Prince appeared to take pleasure in speaking of the cour teous attentions which he had received fr. m the Emperor, and of the amiability of the Empress. Soon atter two o'clock the Parisien arrived at Ind ret, where the Grand Duke was received at the landing-place by M. d'lngles, the director of the eAablishment, and M. Moll, the suh-director. The Prince wore plain clothes, and es a fine, cold rain bad been falling during the whole day, over a black frock coat he on had a cloak in caoutchouc, with a la , ge hood. He wore on his head a small naval cap without any distinctive mark beyond a white band. He carried in his hand a thick knotty stick, on which he leant, and appearel to show, a little lameness in walking. The Prince imme diately proceeded to the works under the girdatice of M. d'lngles. He first went to the fenedry, where a magnificent scene awaited him. At the moment he entered, a quantity of liqeid iron was being poured out into moulds ranged along in sym metrical order. The quantity thus cast was the pro duce of 6,000 kilogrammes of iron. Numerous other articles were afterwaris cast in presence of the Prince. From the foundry, the Grand Duke went to the forges, where he saw a block of red hot iron weighing 16,000 kilogrammes turned round and round wh le being beaten with a hammer wighing 8,000 kilog., every blow from which made the very ground tremble. This mass is intended for the shaft of a steam engine of 900-horse power. From this place, the Graud Duke proceeded to the engine room, where he stopped for some time, admiring the machinery prepared for the Massena, of 90 guns, now being built at Toulon. The Prince appeared to take great notice of everything he saw, and made frequent remarks to a captain in the Russian navy who was with him, and who has been for some time at Bordeaux, superintending the construction of the Russian vessels now on the stocks in that port. The whole visit occupied nearly three hours ; after which the Princes and his suite re-embarked on board the steamer, and returned down the river." The Moniteur states that the Reine Hortense ar rived at Lorient on the morning of the 24th, and left again in the night of the 25th for Brest.

RIOT AT THE WOOLWICH THEATRE.—At the Woes with Police-court yesterday, Mr. William Holbrook proprietor of the Woolwich Theatre, applied to the ma gistrate for summonses againt several persons for com mitting a large amount of damage to the building on the previous Saturday night. It appeared that HOMO dispute had taken place between Mr. Holbrook and his pr des sionals, and at the close of the first play on Saturday night they came to him and demanded their week's salary, or refused to go on with the performances. Mr Holbrook replied that he would pay at the close of the performances. Oce of the actors then went upon the stage and informed the audience that the curtain would not again rise, and advised a ll p resen t t o get their money returned. uch confusion ensued, and ultimately the gas pipes were torn up, the seats broken, doors taken off the hinges and destroyed, and every window in the building smashed. Mr. Holbrook narrowly escaped being severely injured, and the estimated damage to the building exceeds 501. The summonses were granted, and two persons have since been apprehended for steal ing property during the confusion which prevailed. rn t CRIMINAL RETURNS F OR THE METROPJLIS.-The Commissioners of th e M etropolitan Police have issued a appearst f aconi m Metropolitan out hitn:dre to Police,n return of the number of pers ons t a k en i nto custody b y h a ohatantditehstesh tonal n is n u 7a l 3 t , ,2b4ionro:laFwn. intoh on custody It 45,941 were males.

The foreign ambassadors had been taking advanrage of the cessation of public bussmes to take excursions in the neighbourhood. The Austrian interuunc'o had returned from Broussa and Mount Olympus, the ascent of which he had made with one of the attaches of his embassy. The English ambassador was preparing to leave for his summer residence at Buyukdere. Notwithstanding the Ram azan, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe bad on the day before the packet left a conference with Reschid Pacha, which lasted no less than five hours. The qusst ou under discussion is said to have been solely ttiat of the principalities, to the union of which Lord Stratford is said to be decidedly opposed. The Journal de Constantinople, in alluding to a statement made in a foreign journal that the English East India Company had taken possession of the Isle of Perim, in virtue of a treaty with the chiefs of Berbsra, states that the island in question is the legitimate possession of Turkey, and that the chiefs who pretend to have sold it are no hing more than a band of pirates. The dragomans of the foreign legations have just completed a rough draft of a code of commerce, composed of nearly 500 articles, taken mostly from the French code, and adapted to the usages and regulations which prevail in Turkey. The difference between the Turkish and European laws is a constant sou' ce of difficulties and abuse., which the code in question is intended to remedy. The work has already re ceived the approbation of the ambassadors, and is about to be submitted to the examination of the Ottoman Government. AUSTRIA. It is stated in a letter from Vienna that the Cai macan of Moldavia has addressed to the represen tatives of the great powers at Jassy a memoir in which he defends himself against the charge of hav ing illegally interfered in the elections. The Austrian Government is not altogether satisfied with the reply of Denmark on the question of the Duchies, on account of its vagueness, but the Danish Cabinet has promised to send a detailed answer, calculated to satisfy the German powers. In virtue of the amnesty granted by the Empe ror, 125 political off nders detained in the fortresses of Josephstadt and Theresenstadt have been set at liberty. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. DARTMOUTH, MAY 26.

Her Maje,ty's steam troop-ship Simoom put int Simon's By on the 2d of April, on hsr passage from Dublin to the Maurit us,' with 687 111- . 11 anti officers of the 83d Regiment. We extr , ict from the Cape Town Mai! of April the 4th the follow ing summary of Cape news 'The last mail steamer, the Tynemouth, which left on the 13th of March, conveyed intelligence of the departure of the Governor to the eastern fron tier, for the purp-se of checking on the spot the dangerous proceedings of some of the Caffre tribes, ' who had been induc• d to de,tr. y large numbers of their cattle, their only means of sub-istence, in the expectation, as they professed to believe, that they would rise again from the dead in yet greatsr num bers. The extent to which this delusion had spread, and tl , e en .rninus number of cattle thus sacrificed, convinced the Colonial Government that under the combined influences of fanatac , sua and want the Caffres might be expected to make some desperate movement, and the necessity for precau tionary measures was urgently expressed by the inhabitants of the exposed districts. Thefts, chiefly of horses, by small prowling bodies of Coffees, were almost daily reported, and several murders had been committed, causing a general feeling of alarm and iusecurity. " The reclean es adopted ey Sir George Grey, on his arrival on the spot, were of the in , st deci led character. In a Government notice issued to the chiefs, in his capacity of High Commissioner, he at once declared to them his detorrnination to check proceedings which, if allowed to contiuue, will lad to such lamentable resul s, w rich are unpardonable, as labour is provided for all industrious, well dis posed persons who may be in a state ot destitution." Four Caffres, found that morning lurking in the Crown Reserve (the Areatolas) were ordered to be transported—a punishment of which it is said these people have a great horror, and the chiefs were informed that all persons caught attempt ing to commit, or having committed, robbery with arms in their hands, will, when convicted of such offence, be punished with death.' He also warned them that all Caffres found robbing in the colony or elsewhere will he fired upon if it is found impossible to capture them. " Simultaneously with these severe announce ments, which were at once sternly carried into effect, offers were made to the well-disposed of food and employment at regular wages on public works, and every facility was given them to enter the ser vice of the colonial farmers. In a few days a retorn was published giving the names of seven Caffres who hid been condemned to transportate.n, and a list of 731 who were already at work on the roads and other public works of British Catfraria ; while the last-received frontier papers notice the arrivals in Albany of several hundred peacefully disp scd Caffres, who were being eagerly eng iged as herds and labourers by the colonial farmers. The cause ot alarm being thus removed, his Excellency re turned to Cape Town on Monday last, having e m pletely re-established confidence on the Caffre fron tier "On Tuesday next the fourth session of the Cape Parliament will meet for 'the despatch of bu-incise.' Most 9f the country members have already arrived in town, and several draughts of laws on subject , of importance have been pu I,shed by Gu Vt./ n int nt Among these are Bil's for iinprovii.; tbe publ c IN p►omit , ing ed Ilea - ion, reg.' at ng tio prat ice and sale of me licine, and consmidating quari3Oltlne and port regul-ions.

Sever..l other measures carrying out Sir G. Grey's plans for the civilisation of the neigh* bouring native tribes will prob Ably excite union discussion. It is understood that a plan for the formation of a line of railway from Gape T , wn to the principal wine and corn districts, which hai been for some time in preparation by the Colonial Civil Engineer, will likewise be submi.ted to Par liament, and the magnificent priject of Cap , ain Ve , ch, under the auspices of the Lurds of the A,l - for rendering Table Bay a secure h ar b our of refuge for the shipping of all nations, will doulx n which it so eminenily less receive the attento merits.

THE CASE OF THE BRITISrt SUFFERERS AT GREYTO WE. The foPowing temperate statement respecting the bombardment of Greytown, signed by all the British subjects now resident at Greytown, sufferers in consequence of the lx)mb , rdment of that town by the Government of the United Stites, has just reached this country, having been forwarded to Lord Clarendon by Captain Erskine, the officer there in command of- the British I et. It will he read with much interest, and, we trust, also with universal s3mpathy : "Greyto.n, Mosqnit , ,, Mb February, 1857. " TO. THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF CLARENDON, HER DIAJr:STY'S PRINCIPAL SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS. " slay it pl , as your Lordship,—We, the sub-cribers, British subjects, presently reel& nt in Greytown, take the liberty of addressing your lordship in reference to that disastrous and well-known catastrophe of the 13th July, 1854, when, in a time of pro found t,eace, and without any provocation whatever on our part, C-iptain Hollins, of the 'Matted Stat s corvette Cyaue, atter making unavailingly a fictitious claim and utterly tif , ju-t demand upon the community of this city to an amount in money also, which, at the time, it would have been utterly impossible for it to have fur iished, proceeded to bombard our homesteads, our ware houses, and shops ; and then, not satisfied with the mis chief thus wrought us, gave orders to his men to proceed systematically fro., house to house, from one end of the town to the other, setting them on fire, to the utter destruction of our shelter, our clothing, our furniture, our mtrchairdise, and everything moveable we possessed and this, too, in the middle of the most inclement month of this climate, when the forest that closely environs this town has become an impassaLle marsh. Toe mere statement of so sudden and awful a ctlantity bef.lling, under such cirbumstance4, an entire community ; the knowledge that toe aged, the women, the children, the sick, were, within a portion of an hour, driven forth shelterless, amid the tropical torrents which cha racerise that month, appears to us to render entirely superfluous and misplaced any attempt to describe, not only the sufferings thus occasioned to the inhalntants, but the atrocity also of those who caused them. We are aware, moreover, that this frightful act has become known throughout Christendom; and that on every occasion on which reterencs has been made to it in public prints or public addresses, in America as well as in Europe, such reference has unanimously been made in terms of the severest reprobation and the strongest disgust. We should be at a loss, therefore, to conceive why the representations we have formerly been con strained, by the ~ e plorable straits to which most of us bave been reduced, to address to your lordship have hitherto remained fruitless, were it not that we are well aware, not only of the gigantic efforts our country and the allies had to exert to bring the late war to a successful con clusion, but that since that fortflnate event affairs bath in Europe and America have been so situated ; international questions of such deep import have arisen for discussion as to have called for the exercise of the mental energies of your lordship, and all other statesmen in distinguished position, in a degree almost unprecedented. But now that peace again prevails in Europe, and a solution of those international questions bas happily been attained, the time appears propitious for our again venturing to recall to your lordship's consideration the afflicting pre dicament to which we were reduced—from no fault of ours —by he atrocious act of an officer of the United States, and in which, during the last two years and a-half and more, we and our families hava remained struggling and elmost despairing. It is in this view, your lordship, that we once wore entreat you to take into considera tion the great and long-endured hardships of our case, and to procure us such relief and redress as to your lord. ship may appear most Euitable." Together with the above, there has also reached. our hands a copy of the following extraordinary lett,r, which, indeed, furnisht s a key to the whole of this mysterious and biutal affair. Mr. J. L. White was the agent at New York of the Nicara gua Transit Line. The tenor of the le-Ler shows the intimate terms on wh•ch he was placed with Mr. Marcy, or with Mr. Dobbin, the Secretary at War. Fur unless such intimacy existed, how could. he have known tie secret instructions given to Cap tam Hollins , of the Cyane. Tile le ter is ad dreseed to Mr. Fab-ns, now under trial in New York for being a fi ibustt r—but then the repreienta tive, at Grey own, of the Unitr_dSta es. The letter also shows .11- intimacy home en 'hese two worthies; out the most shocking deduc ion to he drawn from the letter is the conclusion that the destruction of the town was deliberately planned by the Govern !! cut at Washingt n, and that Captain Hollins, being "all right," was cent, not to demand either red, ess or apology, but to destroy the town, for cer tain political purpoSes, which have since developed themselves in the filibustering expedition of Wal ker. The italics are Mr. White's own introduc tion " Office of the New York and California Steamship Line via Nicaragua, No. 5, Bowling-green, New York, June 16, 1854.
