or to about 20s. in the pound upon our export; to South
Africa. Those exports rose and fell pretty roach as trar
military expenditure increased or decreased, and woo
greatest immediately after a Kaffir war. The reason was
ample • our exports to South Africa consisted chiefly of
merchandise for our troops. with some muskets and am-

w our troops from South Africa, and, as a com-
pensation for so doing, even to make the colonists
a present of all our merchandise, which they sou- '
leasolunecl, we should make a most excellent bargain.
great increase in our South African military expendi-
ture had arisen chiefly from two causes—namely, from the
great increase in the extent of our South African domi-
nions, and from the abolition of the old and cheap system
of seltprotection by the colonists. In the course of the
last 10 years the British empire in South Africa had been
more than doubled. In 1842 it covered an area of
110,000 square miles ; In the course of the next six years,
120,000 square miles had been added to it, and it was ex-
tended to nearly the 27th deg. of oath latitude. If a line
were drawn in about that latitude right across South
Africa, from the Indian to the Atlantic Ocean, it would bo
about 1,000 miles long, and would constitute about the
northern boundary of the Britith dominions in South
Africa. i The territory lying to the south of that line
might be called British South Africa, because
nine-tenths of it were British dominions, the
remaining tenth was the territory inhabited by our Kaffir
enemies, and which was now surrounded on all sides but the
maids by British dominion. The area of British South
Africa was 280,000 Rowe miles—about the same as that of
the Austrian empire. Its population amounted to about
700,000 persons: of these, 00-seventh, or about 100,000,
were of European origin, the greater portion of whom were
discontented; about 160,000 were Hottentws and mml
rates, aenerall7 disaffected; about 350,000 were Krs
and kindred tribes, most of whom were our avowed ene-
mies ; end the remaining 100,000 were Toolahs in Natal, of
doubtful allegiance. In the midst of this discontented,
traitorous, or hostile population, we had about 10,000 British
troops, who, alone and unaided, were, according to Sir
Harry Smith, carrying on a war ever an area of three times
the sue of the United Kingdom, with tribes as fierce as
the Cireasaians or the Algerines. He thought, there-
lees, the state of South Africa was critical, and
it was no wonder that our military expendi-
ture on amount of it bad increased of late yeses.
The other are of the great income in our military expen-
diture on sawant of South Africa had been the abolition,
is 1833, of the old and cheap effectual system of self-pro-
bation by the adonis. With regard to that system he
most observe that it was similar to that which had been
used by oar seloaists in North America In their conflicts
with the lailbos. In tooth Africa it had originated with
, the Dutch, when the Dutch and the Kaffire flat met on the
' Mien frontier of tho grim of the Caps. The superior
