Atter the levee his Royal Highness the Prince Chan cellor, accompanied by Professor Sedgwick, lett Trinity lodge, at half-past eleven, for the purpose of paying visits to the different colleges, and first of all proceeded down Trinity-back-lane to Trinity-hall, where he was met at the gate by the masters and fellows, who accompanied him to the hall and library. He then proceeded to Clare Hall, and afterwards went to the Public Hall and the Geological Museum, Professor Sedgwick giving him an account of the various interesting specimens of the ante diluvian creation, including the megatherium and a magnificent specimen of the gigantic Irish elk, which excited the admiration of his Royal Highness. The Royal party then proceeded to Caius College, entering at the beautiful Gate of Honour, proceeding through the Gate of Humility, and went out at the Gate of Virtue, having previously inspected the hall, library, and other places connected with the college. The Prince Chancellor then paid a visit to the master and fellows of Corpus Christi, when. , he viewed the various objects of interest connected with that institution. He then went to Em manuel, where he was joined by Sir Harry Smith and ;he Duke of Wellington. He also went to Queen's College, and admired the portrait of the present amiable master, Dr. King, painted by Sir William Beechy. He THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1847. • then returned to Trinity-ledge. At the levee held by the Prince Chancellor, his Roya Highness expressed his concern at the absence of the ven -ruble and much-respected Professor of Modern History. and kindly invired of Professor Sedgwick into the state of Protesser Smyth's health. On being told that he Was too ill to present himself before his Royfd ibgthnefis, the Chancellor, on paying a visit to the different colleges, gave particular directions that he should be driven to Sc. Peter's, where he condescendingly paid his respects to the venerable Professor, who was deeply affected by the circumstance. THE PUBLIC BREAKIA.ST. The public breakfast took place in the grounds of Trinity College to-day, and, in its results, fully justified the interest which its announcement had excited here. The arrangements made for thin elegant fête were excellent. Behind the hall of Trinity Collage is a culadraneular court, called Nevile's court. This court derives its name from Dr. Thomas Nevile, master of the College, by whom it was built. It measures 228 feet on the south side, 223 oil the north, 132 on the east, and 148 on the west. The hall forms the east side, the library the west, and apartments for students the north and south sides. A piazza runs sting the court, with the exception of the east side, where there is a terrace. Ciller the piazza were arranged the tables, which were spread with pineappl , s, melons, grapes, and other choice fruit, in addition to viands of a more substantial nature. The pillars of the piazza were hung with festoons of fl.,wers and evergreens, and on the terrace was a crown, flanked by the letters "V. A." This device was formed altogether of choice flowers. It was stated that the whole of these floral decorations, which had a very agreeable effect, and displayed considerable taste, were the pro. duction of Mr. Hudson, the cook of the college. The sp'ce in the middle of the quadrangle is a green sward, which, for the occasion, had been mown very close, and was as soft and springy under the feet as a velvet pile carpet. In the middle of the court a pavilion was erected. Passing under the piazza at the west end of the court, through one of three iron gates, you enter into some beautiful grounds, and here, opposite the middle gate, the Queen's pavilion was erected, with the royal standard floating over the entrance. This pevilion was about forty feet long ; it wis made of red and white striped cloth, and the interior was lined with yellow and white striped muslin. A brilliantly gilt console table, surmounted by a mirror with handsome car.delebra, was placed against one side of the tent. The table was covered with costly gold plate, which, combined with very beautiful vases and other table ornaments, produced a magnificent Ldect. At the table were placed two state chairs for the use of her Majesty and Prince Albert. The Royal pavilion, as well as the other pavilions and tents in the grounds, were erected by Benjamin Edgington. The Cam, which flews through the grounds of the College, is crossed a little to the right of the spot where the Royal pavilion was platted by a rustic wooden bridge. On the other side of the river, and upon the terrace opposite the New Reeding of St. Jetin's College, a large pavilion was erected, with a fl 'ring tor the purpose of dancing. This python was 200 feet long by 36 wide, and its hi-ieht appraree to be about 70 feet. In this part of the grounds, and not far removed fr m the larger tent just described, w. re placed two small ones, to which the dincers could retire when they desired refreshment; another pavilion wee also erected on the bowling-green in the fellows' pri , ate garden. Bands of music were stationed at various points. At t'selve o'clock the gates of the college were opened, and the company continued to arrive in quack succession until one o'eloek. Visitors passed immediately from the Great Court. throueli the passage by the end of the hall, into Nevite's-court, descending by the flight of steps rit the south tnd .4 the terrace. It would be difficult to estimate wilt% auy degree of prt-ci-`on the nutnoer ot per,ons prese•it. scattered, as they were, ov r every part ot the grounds. It. was stat .1 that more than 2,000 inlividuals entered the grounds, each of whom must have paid a guinea for a ticket of admission; but, if we were to reduce that calculation by half, the assemblage would still be a very large one. The elegant dresses of the ladies sitting in groups in different parts of the grounds, or premenading on the green sward, imparted a gay aspect t o the scene, and the effect was heightened by the venous orders of the academic costume, which was were by the majority of the gentlemen present. Amongst the company were Sir R. and Lady Peel, Sir H. Stnah, Mr. S. Reg_ ers, Lord J. Russell, Mr. M Atlnes, M.P.; Mr. Hudson , M .P. ; the Hon. C. Howard and one or tte Ladies Howard; the Marquis of North ampton, Sir T. Fremantle, &c. At one o'clock the Queen, Prince Albert, and their suite, etitered Nevile's court by the same passage through whichthe 'n• instead of descending general company came in; but, i into . the court by the staircase at the seutia end inot t t n h p terrace, it down the flight ot steps she passed int.) centre f of the terrace. Her Majesty leaned on the arm . Prince Waldemar, and looked ex tremely well ; sh e w o o bonnet, and light graree(al white d muslin dress, white chip gray) silk mantle. The ar les, we bel,eve, call it French pair and their cortege pro ceeded along the plaza on the north side of the court to the library. A short description of this room, which her Majesty deemed worthy of inspection, may prove interest ing. The library is two hundred feet forty broad, and thirty-eight high. The tleoreit long, nd ßut the bookcase. are handsomely carved by is marble, and the maim great number of scarce avid valuable booknsse Amongst scripts they contain chiefly deserve attention. other curiosities in the library are an Egyptian given by the Earl of San twich on his return mummy,f from his a curious marble from Athens, and tray , Is, . . . a great „ ual ber ot curiosities brought from the South Sea lalawis. There is a dried body of one of the original lA a hira,nts of the Madeiras; a quadrant and comp ass of Sir Isaac Newton, and i lock of his hair; a quiver of arrow's, said to have been used by King Richard 111. a gainst Henry VII, a t the battlN of Bosworth ; a curious skeleton ot a man in miniature, cut out by a shepherd's boy; a copy of Kit; John's great charter; ard a copy of a letter of indulgence from Pope Clement XII.; plans of the most.celebrated churches in Europe • ---eez.,St. Peter's at. Rome. St. Sephia at Constantinople, eatite.tral at Florenee,, Cathedral at. Milan, St. Paul's. L indon, and the Pantheon et'. Rome. Here, are paint in,s, in full length, of General Mook, of Sir Henry P. e e•Aer i h e,, Dr. Nevin, Isaac Barrow, Bish•lP Hack" , ..ti I Charles Montague, E,rl of liaiitex, in las robes as Chancellor of the Ekeh, , quer; also portraits of Dr Gale, Dean of York; ~ , li.rGae, Abraham Cowley, Bi , hoP ',tilt, and Sretaspere.

Al - o, on the trout ot each class - are marble busts, by Roubiliac, Sir Henry Cheere, &c , of celebrated persons. Atter spending about a quarter of an hour in the Li brary, the royal party descended into the grounds wooden e r , ounels be y .11.1 thp eourt, 411.1. crossieg the riv er hy 1:r d-".' b ore mentioned, took a c irc u it of that portion o f art, ~ 1 t!:.; ~., , round- watch 1, beyond it.

Returning over the bridge, the Queen, Prince Albert, Prince Waldemar, and their attendants entered the royal pavilion, and partook of the refreshments prepared for them. This was the signal for those who were fortunate enough to get near any of the tables in Nevile'a-court to discuss the good things before them, and they entered upon the business with such hearty goodwill that nothing could be heard but the clattering of knives, forks, and plates, and the popping of champagne corks. Th e following was the bill of fare-800 cold chickens, 200 lobster salads, 50 baskets of pastry, 300 jellies, 10 tarts. 200 raised game and p eri g ord pies, 40 ckns salads, 100 quarters of lamb, 70 hams, 150 tongues, &c. The wines were excellent ; they were supplied by Mr. Mitchell, of London, brother of Mr. Mitchell, of the Lion Hotel, in this town, and consisted of 200 dozen of Champagne, 50 dozen of claret, 150 dozen of sherry, 2,500 bottles of soda water, &c. Messrs. Hudson, of Trinity College, were the caterers ; and consi !erin , 4 the vast numbers who partook of refresh ments supplied in the grounds, great credit is due to them for their admirable management of the jete. At about ten minutes past two o'clock the royal party left the pavilion, and retired the same way by which they had entered, amidst the cheering of the company. On reaching the passage which leads from Nevile 3-court to the Great Court, the royal party turned into the hall of the college. Sir Robert and Lady Peel, and a gentleman whose name is unknown to us, happened to be in the hall looking at the pictures which it contains; they drew back near one of the windows looking out upon the Great Court, but as soon as her Majesty perceived them she advanced towards Lady Peel, and shook her cordially by the hand. Her Majesty then turned to Sir R. Peel and engaged him in conversation for about seven minutes, after which she passed from the hall to the master's house. In about half an hour from this time the Court left Trinity Hall for the station; where Mr. Hudson and Mr. Waddington were in attendance to receive her Ma jesty. The train consisted of the same number of car riages, which were occupied in the same manner as on the journey from London. At three minutes before three o'clock the signal was given for the start, and stopping only at Bishop Stortford for three minutes, the train arrived at the Tottenham station at twenty-three minutes past four o'clock. Her Majesty was pleased to express herself much gratified with the arrangements for her reception at the railway, and the manner in which her journies along the line had been conducted. Her Majesty then entered her carriage, accompanied by Prince Albert, and attended by the Duchess of Sutherland and the Countess of Desert, and proceeded to Buckingham Palace under the escort of a troop of Life Guards. At six o'clock many of the members of the University and their ladies who had assembled in Trinity College repaired to the dancing tent erected on the lawn oppo site the new building of St. John's College, where polkas, quadrilles, and other dances were kept up to the excel lent accompaniment of Jullien's admirable band till near ten o'clock. A very handsome medal has been struck by Messrs. Peters, Cambridge, to commemorate this installation. On the obverse is a finely-executed head of the Prince, from a miniature by Ross, with the inscrip tion, " Princeps Celsissimus Albertus Acad. Cantab. Cancell., 1847," and on the reverse an interior of the Senate-house. Another very handsome medal has been struck by Mr. Reed, of the Market-hill, with an admirable likeness of the Prince Chancellor. Some description of the present state of the royal apartments in Trinity-lodge, as occupied by her Majesty and his Royal Highness the Prince Chancellor, may not be uninteresting. The entrance is an Elizabethan arched porch, which leads into a grand hall, about 30 feet square. The ceiling is supported by massive oaken beams on two verd antique marble columns. The walls are covered with dark wainscoat, richly moulded sunken pannellings, forming a fine background for the sculpture with which the apartment is decorated. The floor is composed of tiles of various colours, arranged with much taste, under the immediate direction of the Master of Trinity. With the arrangements and d, corations of this portion ot- the royal re-idence her Majesty and the Prince Chancellor were evidently most favourably impressed, having remained in the hall for several minutes, surveying its beauties at different times during their stay. A full-length statue of Edward VI. occupies a central position ; on the side opposite the entrance is a copy of the statue of Lord Bacon, as exe cuted by Sir T. Matsys, his secretary, in an attitude of contemplative devotion, with the inscription, " Sic sede bat." The grand staircase is constructed entirely of oak, and is covered by a magnificent carpet of crimson, pow dere I with fleur-de-lis in gold. It leads to the green drawing-room, in which the royal party took breakfast. This room i 3 most handsomely furnished, and contains many valuable pictures. Communicating with this is Henry VIIL's drawing-room. This noble apartment at the further end expands on either side into two fine oriel windows. Its walls are hung with full-length historical portraits of the noble patrons and distin guished members of the college; among others, we observed those of Henry VIII., Queen Elizabeth, and Newton. The coved ceiling is enriched by rib-mouldings terminating in carved pendants. The ribs are carried over the surface with that intricacy of design which marks distinctively the period of architecture to which it belongs. A corridor at the upper end of this room leads to the royal sleeping apartments, which consist of four lofty and spacious chambers, handsomely and appro priately furnished. The windows from the royal bed- 1 room command a very beautiful prospect over the Master's garden and the college grounds towards St. John's. The dining-room underneath Henry VIII.'s room is of similar dimensions and form. Its walls are covered from the floor to the cei,incr with oak panelling. The portraits of the masters from the foundation of the college ornament the walls. This room, however, was only used by her Majesty's suite. Renovations had for some time been in progress before the royal visit, under the direction of Mr. Langker. The Corporation this day agreed to an address of con. gratulation to Sir H. Smith. A TIPPERARY LASS AND A BOLD DRAGOON! A gallant young cavalry officer, stationed not a hun dred miles from Clonmel, was returning to his quarters on escort duty, on a certain day, in the early part of last week. His party were proceeding quietly along the road, when the officer rode up to a remarkably fine, intelligent, well-dressed young woman, who was pro• ceeding in the same direction as the military heroes. The officer engaged in conversation with the sprightly fair one, and he was so "taken," with her engaging manners and appearance that he dismounted and walked by her aide, until they reached the avenue gate, lead ing to the residence of the Rev. Mr. Heffernan, parish priest of Clerihan. "It is here my father lives," slyly said the lady, and as it is just dinner hour, you will be welcome to join us; (she well know ing that the enamoured swain could not leave his troop). It would be impossible for me to accept your kind invitation, as I am on duty," replied the gallant son of Mars. Well, sir, said she, you will confer a high compliment on me, by accepting my invitation to dine with us on to morrow evening, and as my father, who is advanced in years, is very particular, don't be later than five o'clock. May I bring a friend with me, inquired the officer ? Your friend shall be as welcome as your self, was the answer. The parties separated, and the next evening, about five o'clock, two martial looking youths, might be seen wend their way to wards the hospitable residence of Father Heffernan dressea in the most captivating style, their hyperion curls, and mustachios, shining brightly and scented odi ferously with " Rowlands Macassar. they arrive at the door, the double tantararara is answered—the visi tors walk into the parlour, and see before them, not the object of their fond wishes, but Father Heffernan him self, with spectacles on nose, engaged reading a work on Dogmatic theology. " Well, gentlemen," said his Re verei.ce, can Ido anything for you ? " "We came to dinner," was the answer. "To dinner ! Who invited you," said the astonished priest—" I am done dinner this hour." "Your daughter,' was the reply. "My daugh ter," said Father Heffernan, " why, I'm only a poor priest, and I never had a daughter, nor never will." An explanation took place—a Lull confession of the whole affair was made to his reverence—a description of the fair one was given —and, after an immoderate fit of laughter, the priest exclaimed, " Peggy Quinn, Peggy Quinn, you'll never be done with your tricks !" and then looking at the chief actor, he said, " Go home, you ' tool, and learn sense." The humbugged lothario, with his no less chop-fallen comrade, bade the poor priest a good • evening, and wended their way home in no very agree ' able or comfortable mood.— Tipperary Constitution. EXTENSION OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPIL—Wed nesday the extension of the South-Western Railway elect' is telegraph to the Brighton, South Coast, and South-Eastern termini at London-bridge commenced The conducting wires are now being carried from the branch in the Waterloo-road, through the New cut, crossing the Blackfriars-road opposite Rowland Hill's Chapel, passing t h ro ugh Union-street into High-street, S.uthwat k, and from thence to the termini at London bridge. This arrangement completes the electric com munication to all places reached by railway south of the metropolis.

REMARKABLE HAIL STORM IN SYDNEY. A correspondent of the ydney (New South Wales) Morning Herald, gives the following account of a thunder-storm which visited that district on the 4th of February last, and proved one of the most remarkable, ever witnessed in that colony:— " There was nothing in the appearance of the weather (says the lurrative) to indicate such a visitation, the day having been fine and warm, .but the thermometer did not rise higher than 80 deg., with a clear sky and light breeze. Soon after five P.M., some remarkable clouds appeared in the south, which gradually increased in volume and height, with a good deal of sheet and forked lightning and distant thunder. About six o'clock I was in a house about two miles from home, and see ing the appearance of the clouds, which were by this time literally as back as ink, I got upon my horse and started homewards at a sharp gallop. Before I was half-way the storm burst right overhead, and I found myself in a few seconds exposed to its terrific violence, without the least hope of reaching a place of shelter. The road runs along a lofty range, and being the highest ground in the immediate v einity, fie wind blew with great fury. The first hailstones which fell were about the size of a small fist, and their appear ance was so very remarkable that I thought at first that they were some substances that had fallen from the tree nearest me. I was soon undeceived, and immediately drew my horse across a large tree close to the road, and endeavoured to shelter my body as well as I could. The storm now raged with awful fury, and the hail fell so thick, and of such an extraordinary size, that the ground was covered in a few minutes. Having a straw hat on, I tried to save my head with one:hand; but, in doing so, my arms suffered dreadfully from the hail stones, and one in particular, which struck me midway between the elbow and the wrist, was se heavy that I thought my arm was broken. This hailstone fell at my horse's feet, and I am quite certain (judging from others which I saw weighed and measured afterwards) that the size was nearly that of an ordinary breakfast cup, while the weight could not be less than from six to eight ounces, Owing to the horse being exposed both in his head and hind quarters, I soon found him become unmanageable; and although I was in the atmost dread that my brains or eyes would be knocked out from the extreme violence of the blows, I was compelled to give my horse the rein, and he galloped back to the place I had left, instinct teaching the animal to turn his tail to the storm. " The tempest was now at its height, and the roaring of the wind, the noise of the hailstones amongst the trees, and the air darkened with falling leaves and branches, formed the most fearful scene I ever witnessed. The bor=e, maddened with the hailstones raining with such violence on all parts of his body, and startled by the falling branches, shied and plunged in such a way that it was with very great difficulty I kept my seat, as I had to keep one hand up to save my head, and my arms were getting every minute more benumbed with the blows. I reached the slip-rails in four or five minutes, where I was detained in getting down the into the my fingers being nearly power less, and g ot the clear ground; and just as I reached the house and got into the verandah, the hail-storm passed off, and the rain began to fall heavily. After a short stay to recover myself, I again started for home, and on the way was startled by a most awful vivid flash of lightning which seemed to stream down from the heavens, making the hailstones on the road appear for a second of time like a mass of blue crystal. This was succeeded by a stun ning peal of thunder, and the rain then fell in torrents. I got home soon afterwards, drenched to the skin, and, on stripping, found that I had been struck in about twenty places ; on my head were four lumps nearly as large as marbles, and the skin was broken on several spots where the hail had struck me. Even now (forty eight hours after) I am hardly able to lift my left arm to my head, and the pain in the hands and other parts is still considerable. " The form of the hailstones was exceeding various, most of them being round and others pyramidal, angu lar, thin, and flat, with irregular surface s . A great many wery very much the size and shape of a common oval salt cellar. The weight also varied much, many of them being solid masses of ice, while others were opaque and light ; one which we measured was three inches thick. At seven o'clock, after they had thawed considerably, many measured ten inches round ; and I was credibly informed of one that measured fourteen inches in circumference, and another that weighed eight ounces ! The duration of the storm was about fifteen minutes, and its course seemed to be from S. by W. to N. by E." THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY. By her Majesty's ship Conway, 26 Captain Kelly, whieh arrived at Spithead this afternoon, we have intel ligence and papers to the 9th of May; from St. Helena, to the 27th; and from Ascension, to the 2d of June. The intelligence is still by no means conclusive. There were constant affrays between the settlers and the Caffres, without any decisive success on either side, and daily thefts and recaptures of cattle. One of these adventures is thus described in the Graham's Town Journal:— " On the morning of the 22d inst., 30 head of cattle belonging to the Commissariat Department, were taken off by a party of Caffres in the immediate vicinity of the camp. A patrol, consisting of one officer, one sergeant, and 11 rank and file of the 7 th Dragoon uards, was dis patched in pursuit about half-past 9 o'clock, under the command of Lieutenant Butler, 7th Dragoons. The Marty, taking an inland route, proceeded at a very rapid pace as far the Gualana stream, where they came on the spoor of the cattle, which led them towards the sea shore. Here the spoor became very visible Increasing their pace, they followed the beach to the mouth of the Beka river. Here the spoor turned to the left, and the party proceeded to a height on the right of the river, where they came upon the cattle in charge of four Caffres. Three of these were forthwith shot by the patrol. The fourth being slightly grazed by a ball on the side, was cut down by Lieutenant Butler (whose sword was snapped asunder by the force of the blow). He then threw down his arms and begged for quarter, which was granted, and he was brought prisoner into the camp along with the captured cattle. The patrol cap tured two guns, two pouches with ammunition, and a number of assegais. Mr. Webb, who accompanied the party, had a hair-breadth escape, one of the Caffres hav ing discharged a shot at him, which very nearly took effect, and while in the very act of throwing another as segai, was shot by one of the patrol. The alacrity and determination which characterised this affair throughout, reflect the highest credit upon Lieutenant Butler, the non-commissioned officer, and privates engaged in it. A few such smart affairs as this, and one we lately recorded of the Rifle Brigade, from Newtondale, would do much towards checking the reckless daring of the Caffres." Sir H. Pottinger was still at Fort Peddie, where he had had an interview with the Lieutenant-Governor, whose extreme activity excited general admiration. Sir H. Pottinger had determined to reinstate Sir A. Stocken strom in the command of the Burgher forces; and the appointment had given much satisfaction, as the Burghers were by no means pleased with their military com manders. The Burghers were, however, heartily tired 1 of the Comin,ndo service, and. some difficulty in raising a fresh levy was anticipated. The following correspon dence is taken from the South African Commercial Adver tiser of May s: " Neighbourhood of Doonap River, April 22. "I beg leave to send you the following circular for insertion in your next number. You, as well as many of your readers, will, no doubt, be delighted to hear that Sir Andreas has responded to his Ecellency's desire that he should reassume the command of the Burgher Forces. I understand that the proposition was as hand somely made by his Excellency, as it was handsomely accepted by Sir Andreas. This gentleman is said to be severely indisposed by a rheumatic attack, but his patriotism and desire to serve his country and Govern ment have made him, as usual, sink self in the general interests of the country. " I believe that his Excellency has not specified whether Sir Andreas is to be C o mmandant-General as before, but he is ready to serve the country and Govern ment either as Field-Cornet, Field-Commandant, or Field-Marshal, if you please—he does not care which. There is a nobleness of mind in this gentleman which the vulgar and malignant cannot see. "I trust that the Burgher Forces of all grades and colours will, with alacrity, respond to the circular." " Maastrom, April, 1847, "Sir,—His Excellency the Right Hon. the Governor and High Commissioner having expressed a wish that I should assist in bringing a fresh burgher force into the field, and take the command thereof, I beg leave to request ) our co operation, on which I know I may rely. I need not repeat all my arguments on our duty to give the Government our most cor dial support under existing circumstances. It is very desirable to have the men well equipped at King William's Town by the 25th instant, at any rate to have them there as soon as possible. I see by the newspapers that we can congratulate ourselves on the appointment of a most efficient Lieutenant-Governor. As, therefore, the British Government shows itself disposed to serve us, let us not withhold our best services.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, "A. STOCKENSTROM." The Graham's Town Journal has the following ob servations upon the state of affairs in Kafir land:— " Some surprise has been occasioned tha: affairs should remain so quiet iu Caffreland ever since the assumption of the command of the troops by Sir George Berkeley. Little is heard of Caffres; and, with the exception of a few strag glers who show themselves here and there, the whole country to the Buffalo appears entirely abandoned by the enemy, our troops and burgher levies appearing to have no harder duty to perform than an occasional patrol and the disposal of their daily rations. This is an inglorious and irksome state of affairs ; and yet, perhaps, it has a stronger tendency to subdue the Caffres than more active operations would have. To accomplish effectually the subjugation of these people, Caffreland must be taken possession of and firmly held by the British authorities, for were it to be quitted by our forces it would be im mediately reoccupied' by the same people who have hitherto proved themselves sb intractable - the hills, now so solitary, would be covered by their herds of cattle, and in the end a similar process to that which has en tailed upon the Government such an enormous expenditure would have to be repeated. If we are not to have any more Caffre wars, we must take this country into our own hands and lay down such a social system as shall afford ample security against any outbreak in time to come. This is, however, a work of time, as well as expense, and hence no wonder that impatience is le amitestei, both here and at home, at delay which appears to be so unnecessary, and at forbearance, the object of which none but, those familiar with local circumstances are able fully to understand. From time immemorial it has been the custom. in all our hostile collisions with the Caffres, to march into Caffreland, force back tho Caffres, secure a certain portion of their cattle, and then return, satisfied with having attained the object for humbled the foe, of his L ees, and a great deal of which the campaign was undertak en .

To avert this in future Caffreland must be colonised either by whites or blacks, and such strong government exercised over it as shall render it morally impossible that such scenes as those in question can be reacted.

THE ROYAL EXCHANGE INSURANCE COMPANY. This was a claim for the constructive total loss of a vessel in her voyage to Sydney in 1843. The ship, it appeared, was abandoned on the assumption that the expense attendant upon an attempt to recover her would amount to more than her real value. There was a ver dict for the defendant. A rule was subsequentlty ob tained to set aside that verdict on the ground of its being against evidence, and of misdirection of the Learned Judge at the trial. The arguments in the case involved the prudence of the owner in thus abandoning his vessel. Lord DENMAN having reviewed the objections urged, and the authorities quoted by the Learned Counsel on both sides , said it was the opinion of the Court that the application failed upon all the points raised, and the rule must consequently be discharged. - THE QUEEN V. DUNN. The only question to be considered was, whether the Registrar of the Court of Bankruptcy had the power of administering an oath to the defendant under the pecu liar circumstances of the case, upon which affidavit the inlictment against the defendant was framed. Lord DENMAN said that the Court were of opinion the affidavit was sworn before a competent authority, and the rule obtained by the defendant to arrest the judg ment must be discharged. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 8. (Before Mr. Commissioner PANE.) IN RE E. P. T. PITZGERALD.—RE COMMITMENT TO PRISON. This insolvent described himself as an author and newspaper editor, &c. Today was appointed for him to come up for his final order. Mr. STURGEON opposed, on behalf of Mr. Stopford, on the ground that he (Mr. Sturgeon), who held a bill for 501., was not inserted in the schedule, and that Mr. Minagan was inserted as a debtor for 50/., when he was in fact a creditor. Insolvent was not present, and had stated that having got his liberty, under the order of the Court, he should not come up. His HONOUR having heard evidence, said that it did not appear that the insolvent was entitled to the benefit of this Act of Parliament, and, therefore, on an affidavit being made, he would grant an order for the re-commit ment of the insolvent. SHERIFFS' COURT, July 8. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuncnELL.) JEANSON V. STAPLETON AND ANOTHER. This was an action of detinue to recover the value of property belonging to plaintiff, and detained by the defendants, and for damages for such detention. The plaintiff is a major in the army, the defendants are cabinet makers, &c., in Great Marylebone-lane, and the facts of the case are these:—ln 1840 plaintiff was in possesion of a valuable slab of mosaic work imported from Malta, which he took to the defendants, and gave instructions for it to be set on a handsome rosewood stand, which was done at a cost of twenty-eight guineas, but the plaintiff not calling for it up to the end of 1843 they parted with it to a gentleman named Howard. They said it was only lent t o him, as it would not become damaged, but Mr. Howard insisted that he had bought it for fifty guineas, which he had since paid, but no settlement had been come to previously, as there was a running account between them, but there had never been any charge for the hire of the table. At first when the table was demanded back it was refused, but subse quently Mr. Howard, understanding that it was a gift to plaintiff from his father, sent it to defendant a few months since. The UNDER- SHERIFF suggested an arrangement. Mr. HILL, for the defendants said, they were willing to give up the table, or to pay 501. and the costs ; they did not think, however, they ought to be called upon to pay anything in the shape of da nages. Tne offer being rejected, the slab alone being valued at 751., The jury gave a verdict for 751., the value of the pro perty, and ls. for damages, which carries costs. WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT, July 7. (Before D. C. MOYLAN, Esq., Judge.) HARVEY V. HANSARD. In this case the plaintiff, Mr. George Harvey, a printer, carrying on business in Charlotte-street, Black friar's-road, sought to recover of the defendant, Mr. Luke James Hansard, the well-known philanthropist, the sum of 151. 9s. 6d. It appeared from the statement of the plaintiff, in the mouth of August last, soon after the flogging case at Hounslow, a society was established having for its object the " abolition of flogging in the army," and a meeting was called at Exeter-hall in furtherance of it. At this meeting the defendant attended and most liberally sub scribed. He became a member of the managing com mittee, and was appointed treasurer. For :he meeting bills and tickets were printed by the plaintiff, as well as prospectuses, the orders for which were given by a Mr. Plume, the secretary. The society became extinct, and as the plaintiff could not obtain his money, he summoned the defendant in his capacity of member of the commtttee of management. The defendant denied his liability, contending that he knew nothing of the society until after the meeting on the 19th of August, and that he could not be made liable for those articles which had been supplied prior to that date. The plaintiff produced his books and copy of the prospectus of the society, printed on the 12th of August, in which the name of the defendant appeared as one of the managing committee, and the JUDGE accordingly made an award in favour of the plaintiff. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON and Mr. Justice MAULE.) William Smith surrendered to take his trial upon an indietmeht charging him with publishing a libel con cerning John Broome, the pugilist. In some of the counts the intent of the defendant was laid to be to extort money. Mr. HUMFREY, who appeared for the prosecution, said he was instructed that it was the intention of the defend ant to plead guilty to that count of the indictment which merely charged him with publishing the libel, and if he did so, it was not the intention of the prosecutor to offer any evidence upon the other counts of the indictment. He would only be required to enter into his own recog nizances to appear and receive the judgment of the Court if ho should be called upon to do so ; but if he did not offer any further molestation to the prosecutor, he would hear no more of the matter. Sergeant Wimusrs, who was instructed for the defence, said there was not the slightest foundation for those counts charging an intention to extort money, and he thought his Learned Friend had only exercised a proper discretion in abandoning them. The fact was that Mr. Smith had listened to some gossip about Mr. Broome, and he had foolishly published it, and he felt that there was no defence to the charge of publishing the libel in question, and, acting under his advice, the defendant would plead guilty. The defendant then retracted his plea of not guilty, and one of guilty was recorded upon the first count in the indictment, and upon his entering into his own re cognizance to appear and receive judgment, if called upon, he was discharged. Mr. HUMFREY applied to the Court to allow the trial of a person named Pollard, who had been com mitted on the previous evening upon a charge of stealing certain bills of exchange, the property of Prince Louis Bonaparte, to be postponed to the latest period of the session that would be consistent with the convenience of their Lordships. The defendant was most anxious to meet the charge, but having been committed so recently there had been no time to prepare the defence. Mr. Justice MAULE inquired what was the nature of the charge ? Mr. CLARESON, for the prosecution, said the case would assume the shape of larceny, and he considered that it might be advisable to hare it disposed of by one of their Lordships. The Court ordered the trial to bs fixed for Friday. Joheph Willett surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment for wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Phino prosecuted; Mr. Ry land and Mr. Ballantine were far the prisoner. This was a prosecution instituted by the assignees appointed under a fiat of bankruptcy issued against the defendant in October, 1844, the alleged perjury having been committed by the defendant upon his examination before the Court of Bankruptcy, and having reference to one of the items of his balance sheet. It appeared that in 1843. a year preceding his bankruptcy, the defen dant, who carried on the business of a currier at Cog gleshall, in Essex, was indicted at the Essex assizes for an assault, and two professional gentlemen, named Bick more and Smoothey, were engaged to conduct his de fence. On the day the trial took place, and just before the jury returned their verdict, it appeared that the de fendant handed to Mr. Biekmore a canvass bag contain ing money, and the contents of that bag formed the na tural subject of the present inquiry. It seems that in 1844 the defendsnt got into difficulties, and was declared a bankrupt, Messrs. HackblJek and Emsworth, the prosecutors of the present indictment, being appointed the assignees. A balance-sheet was filed by the bankrupt, and in the account he gave of his estate he said that upon the occasion above referred to he gave Mr. Bickmore 921. in the bag, and made him a creditor to his estate in that amount. This assertion was contra dicted by Mr. Bickmors, and the result of that proceed ing was that the last examination of the bankrupt was adjourned sine die. The defendant applied again to the Court of Bankruptcy in 1846, and an examination took place on the 4th of May, when he again repeated his former statement relative to the 921., and declared that he gave that sum to Mr. Biekmore. A person named Willsher was examined as a witness i n confirmation of that statement; but after hearing th e depositions of Mr. Bickmore and Mr. Smoothey, and a full investigation of all the circumstances, the Commissioner again ad journed the examination sine die, and the present pro ceeding was then instituted against the defendant, the sole question in the cause being whether the defendant did really give the sum of 921. to Mr. Bickmore at the time referred to or not. Mr. Bickmore was called, and he deposed that he defended the prisoner at the assizes at Chelmsford, with Mr. Smoothey, and a day or two before the trial the defendant handed him 20/. on account of the expenses. He required some more money from the defendant on the dayinf the trial, and just as the proceedings concluded he handed to him a bag containing money, which he examined afterwards at the inn, and found it contained twelve sovereigns. He declared positively that the bag contained no wore gall that 613191111t1 and it appealed that about two months after the transaction the defen dant applied to him for a loan of 2/., and no claim was made upon him respecting the 921. until after the bank ruptcy, when he was applied to by the official assignee. The witness was cross-examined at some length by Mr. Ryland, but no material fact was elicited. He de clared most positively that the bag only contained 12 sovereigns. In re-examination, Mr. Bickmore said that no de mand or application of any kind was made to him for the restoration of the 921. until he received a communi cation from the official assignee. Mr. Smoothey proved that at the time of the trial at Chelmsford, Mr. Bickmore came to the inn, and pro duced a bag containing money, which he counted, and said that the defendant had given him 121. He met the defendant after he came out of prison, and on his asking him when he intended to pay his bill, he promised to do so on the February following ; and he at the same time said he did not think he owed Mr. Bickmore much, for he had given him 201. before the trial, and had handed him a bag containing twelve sovereigns after he was convicted. A witness named Knight also proved that the de fendant told him that he had only given Bickmore twelve or fourteen pounds. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. RYLAND addressed the jury for the defence, and said that the question the jury had to decide was whether the story told by the defendant, or that told by Mr. Bickmore, was the truth. He said that the prisoner had all along persisted in the same statement, and he trusted he should be able to satisfy them, by the evidence he should adduce, that he had really handed over the sum he had stated. Benjamin Willsher was then called as a witness, and he stated that at the time of the trial at Chelmsford he was in the defendant's service, and about ten o'clock in the morning on which the trial took place he saw the defendant count out 92/. in gold and notes, which he placed in a canvass bag. and he said that the defendant had given the same bag with its contents to Mr. Back more. In croes-examination, be said that at this time the defendant owed him 261. 10s. He then said it was 36/. 10s., and eventually, upon the deposition he had made at the Bankruptcy Court being produced and read, he said he then recollected that the amount was 721. He stated that that money had been given him by his wife's grandfather, but when he was examined before he represented that he had saved i lle was a witness at the trial at Chelmsford, but he Rid not know what he was called to prove, and he had forgotten what he swore on that occasion. He had been accused of assisting the defendant to remove his goods, and prevent the creditors from getting them, and he placed a quantity of leather in a false ceiling. He admitted that he had told the solicitor for the prosecution that what he had stated at the Court of Bankruptcy was not true, and that he had been led into it by his master, and he said he believed it was a false statement that Mr. Bickmore had the 921. The defendant, he said, upon one occasion told him that he only gave him 121. The mother and a brother of the defendant were then examined, with a view to show that they had asked Mr. Bickmore to come to some settlement respecting the money, but the evidence given by them was very incon clusive and unsatisfactory. Mr. Justice PATTESON summed up the case to the jury, and they immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. The defendant was then placed in custody, and the Learned Judge, after observing that there could be no doubt of his having committed, in a most deliberate manner, the serious crime o: wilful and corrupt perjury, and that there was also too much reason to tear that he had endeavoured to defend himself by perjury and fraud, which was a great aggravation of his offence, said that the Court felt it an imperative duty to pass a severe sen tence. He then ordered the prisoner to be confined for one month in the House of Correction, and at the expi ration of that period directed that he should be trans ported for seven years. Thomas Truman, the rate collector of St. Andrew's, Holborn, who, it will be recollected, was convicted at the last session of embezzling money belonging to the overseers of the Saffron-hill district, the point of law being reserved, whether he was properly described as being the servant of the overseers, was placed at the bar and arraigned upon another indictment fur em bezzling other sums of money belonging to the overseers. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Robinson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Huddlestone for the prisoner. Mr. CLARKSON said there was no dispute in this case as to the facts, and the only question was whether the prisoner was properly described as the servant of the overseers. He was appointed by the board of guardians, under the authority of the Poor-law Commissioners, and he gave a bond to the guardians for the due perf•orm ance of his duties, but ho was entirely engaged in the service of the overseers, and collected the rates and paid the money over to the bankers on their behalf. The question was, whether he was properly described as their servant. After a brief technical argument, which it will not be necessary more particularly to allude to, Mr. Justice PATTEGON, after conferring with his Learned Brother, said that they were of opinion that the indictment could not be supported : and it appeared to him that a number of sections had been jumbled together in the Poor-law Act which rendered it impos sible to indict any person in the position of the prisoner for embezzlement. From the character of the appoint ment of the prisoner he did not appear to be the servant either of the beard of guardians or of the overseers. The jury then, under his Lordship's direction, re turned a verdict of--No Guilty. Mr. lionixsom said there were two other indictments against the prisoner, but as the same point was involved, it would be useless to proceed with them. A verdict of Not Guilty vi as accordingly recorded upon both these indictin,nts. Mr. HUDDLESTONE applied to the Court to order the prisoner to be discharged. He was convicted at the last session upon an indictment for embezzlement, but the same legal objection was then taken, and was reserved ter the consideration of the Judges. After the opinion expresed by their Lordships, tnat conviction clearly could not be sustained, and tt,erefore the prisoner was entitled to , be di charged. Mr. Josti& PATTESoN said that application must be made to the Secretary of State, who would refer to the Judges, and, upon their report, no doubt the prisoner would at once be liberated. It was stated upon the last trial that the prisoner had embezzled money altogether to the amount of six hun dred pounds and upwards, and the effect of the present decision will be, that he will entirely escape punishment exeept the short period of imprisonment he has already undergone. The pri-oner was afterwards brought before the Com mon-Sergeant in the New Court, and ordered to be at once discharged. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON-SERCEANT.) Robert Austin, 50, shoemaker, was indicted for bigamy, in feloniously marrying Mary Ann Rush, his wife being alive. The prisoner pleaded Guilty. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Payne, who defended the prisoner, that this indictment was pre ferred under rather peculiar circumstances. The pri soner married his first wife nearly twenty years ago, and they shortly afterwards separated, and he then con tracted the second marriage, and also separated from the second wife, and no communication had taken place between there for many years. At length a relation of the second wife died, and left her some freehold pro perty, and upon her desiring to dispose of it, her mar riage with the prisoner was found to present a difficulty, and the present prosecution appeared to be addpted solely with a view to annul the validity of the ceremony. The prisoner was sentenced to one month's itnpri:on meat. POLICE INTELLIGENCE MARLBOROUGH - S TREET. Edward King, collecting clerk to Mr. Burton (late Rippon and Burton), furnishing ironmongers, in Oxford street, was brought before Mr. Hardwick for final exami nation, charged with having embezzled various sums of money belonging to his employer. Martin M athews. cashier to Mr. Burton, said the pri soner was employed as collecting clerk from December to June last. It was his duty to account to him for all sums of money received during the day. In consequence of some irreguhrity in his payments an investigation took place, and then it came out that the prisoner had received money from several customers without accounting for it in the proper manner. The following cases being complete in their evidence were selected. Richard Fenniston, clerk to Messrs. Grey and Son, merchants, Great St. Helen's, said he paid a sum of 11. 14s. to the prisoner for Mr. Grey, and took a receipt for the same. Mr. William Pugh, chemist, of the Edgeware-road, proved that he paid the prisoner 31. for Mr. Burton. The page of Mr. Clark, of No. 29, Upper Gower street, proved that he paid 6s. 6d. to the prisoner for Mr. Burton. The prisoner made no defence, and was fully com. mitted. THAMES. MURDEROUS OUTRAGE.—EIiza Skinner, one of that degraded class, known as " unfortunate girls," was charged with the following murderous, and, in all pro bability, fatal outrage.— Charles Potter, police-constable 240 K, said that on Wednesday his attention was attracted by a great crowd collected outside the doors of a surgeon named Croucher, residing in Shadwell. On going to the spot he was told that a man had been nearly killed, and entering the surgery, he found a man named James How in a state of insensibility, bleeding profusely from several very severe wounds in his head, and Dr. Croucher considered him in such a dangerous condition that without any de lay he was conveyed to the London Hospital. On making inquiries he was to ld the p risoner was the party that had " done it," and as he knew her of old he had little diffi culty in apprehending her in a house in Elbow-lane, near the docks. The house was a most notorious brothel, kept by a w oman named Malvin, who also kept several s imilar places in Old Gravel lane. When he apprehended the prisoner she was concealed between two beds. The constable then pro duced the remains of an old but remarkably thick shovel, the instrument with which the deadly blows had been inflicted. It was a most murderous-looking weapon, and some of the poor fellow's hair still adhered to it. Potter added that the man James How's life was de spaired of. He had two witnesses who saw the affray. Mr. BALLANTINE, how ever, directed him immediately, accompanied by another constable and the wretched pri soner, to proceed to the London Hospital, and in the presence of the prisoner, to take down any statement the man How might make, as this, should the fatal result anticipated occur, would prove of the utmost importance. Potter, with another constable, an inspector, and the prisoner; then proceeded to the hospital. MARKET NEWS.—(YESTERDAY.) ILVIEAT IVEJLIeMETS.

BARBAROUS OUTRAGE. ••-• BITING oar A MAN'S NosE.—Ou Wednesday, at the police-court, a young man named John Warren fusely, a seaman on board the ship Columbia, charged George Douglas, the mate of that vessel, with committing a violent assault on him on Monday evening last. It appeared that the complainant was engaged along with his shipmates, in handing down the foreyard, when the mate, fancying the work was not done with expedition, called upon them to exert them selves, when an altercation ensued, in which it was al leged complainant drew a knife against the defendant. A struggle took place between them on deck, acd whilst the panics were so engaged, the prisoner forced his fingers into the eye of the complainant and bit off a portion of his nasal organ. The prisoner was committed for trial. Liverpool? Couricr. BRAZIL AND THE UNITED STATES.—We are cree iTibly informed that Mr. Todd, the newly. appointed- Envoy from the United States to the Court of Brasil, would positively embark at New York for Rio de Janeiro on the 16th of last month, on board the United States vessel Ohio. The former American Minister at Rio (Mr. Vase). land 'Conimodore Rosseau, who were iat plicated in the entertunate affray which took place last year between some of the crew of an American frigate, and a patrole of the Rio police, had both been recalled, hut in a manner so little satisfactory to the Imperial Government, that Senhor Gaspar Lisboa, its represen tative at Washington, has been recently, it appears by the Rio newspapers, dismissed, not having acted with the same .spira. in regard to the disgraceful transaction al luded to as the Government itself. The report circu-_ laced some time ago, that the negotiation bad been satis factorily terminated was, consequently, premature. LOYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY, BEGENT . S . PARK.-The last fl 4icultural and b aanic l show of this society was held on Wedeos ay, and attracted a great number of visitors, among whom were his Royal Higlieess the Duke of Cambridge, the Archbishop of Canterbury and Mrs. Howley, the Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, the Earl of Mansfield, Lady Elizabeth Murray, the Duke and Duchess of Vic- tory, Lord and Lady Sondes, &c. The music consisted of selections from the best composers, and was played with their usual spirit by the several bands present, the Royal Horse Guards, 2d Life Guards, and Grenadier Guards.

Barnes, gardener to Lady Rolle; and Mr. Green, gardener to Lady Antrobus. DEATH FROM WANT.—Yesterday Mr. Carter con cluded an inquiry at the King's Head, W alworth-road , as to the death of Louisa Hutherway, aged six yet" who, it was alleged, had died from starvation. Several witnesses proved that the child had been placed in the back yard from an early hour in the morning until night without food, and when she asked the neighbnire for any the mother would beat her for doing so. The child was chiefly fed by persons residing on either side of the house, whose attention was attracted to the child, 100 was constantly begging for bread, and left in the cold and damp yard half naked and in a state of filth. The father had formerly been a draper in the Walworth-road, but being reduced to a state of extreme poverty, was not able to afford his family sufficient food, and had it nut been for the great kindness of a Mr. Ward, a gentleman who had known the father in his prosperity, they would have starved. The jury returned a verdict, " Tnat the deceased died from bodily debility, arising from the want of sufficient nurture, resulting from want of means on the part of the parent, and nut that it was withheld from her."
