near the opposite shoulder. His Mend and companion, Mr.
Vowe was, we understand, with him at the time of hi,
death. The spot where he tell is known by the name
of ;Fuller's hloof, and which_forres one of the main

sprouts of taro Blinkwater. The cattle taken by the
Kaffirs were the joint property of the deceased, Mr. N owe,
and Mr. Botha. The Hottentot who fell with Mr. Nourse
behaved very gallantly, seized the gun of the latter on his
falling, and *though mortally wounded himself, got out of
the busk with it. A person named Wilkie was also
severely wounded—a ball carrying away a portion of
the chiu, and then lodging iu the shoulder. He is, how-
ever, said to be in • fair way of recovery. Sir An-
dress Stockenstrom was in Fort Beaufort two days ago, but
the following day he returned to Maastrom . . . . .
Report received that 18 head of cattle were recaptured from
the Kaffirs on Thursday, on Driver's Hill, by some persons
in the employ of Messrs. Fard and Jeffries. The accounts
from the front state that Capt. Hogg, with about 800 Hot.
tentots, was to move this morning from Trompetters for the
Attotoli, for the purpose. if possible, of surprising Tola's
Kaffirs, who arc said to be encamped in that locality.

It is satisfactory t;i7l;:tetiastibeiteflenl;Osc h contingent
are appointed to defend and maintain some of the most
important positions on this immediate frontier. These are
stations lying on some of the great thoroughfares, and
immediately contiguous to several of the moat frequented
Kaffir passes into the colony. This contingent, too, it shou:d
be observed, is composed of a remarkably fine body of men
—young, active, zealous, and well appointed. Their com-
mandant enjoys their fullest esteem and confidence.

There' are accounts from Ireland of food riots at
Kilworth, Fermov, Castlemartyr, and other places,
where the famishing multitudes have thrown off all
restraint, and the influence of the Roman Catholic
clergy has been found insufficient to maintain tran-
quillity.

The government of Baden has issued a decree,
prohibibiting the exportation of potatoes, and pur-
chases of this article made, with a view to speculation.
From Leipsig, of the 22nd instant, it is stated
that the meeting of the German litterateurs, which was
to take place at Weimar, had been countermanded,
the minister of the Grand Duke having intimated to
the committee of direction that it would not be per-
mitted iu that town, nor any where else in the duchy.

REMOVAL OF THE WELLINGTON
STATUE TO HIDE-PARK CORNER.
This much talked-of event, which has occupied
newspaper, artists, and amateurs, for to many weeks, and
which has given rise to so much negotiation and angry dis-
eassion,came offtoday with all the eclat which tine weather,
military paveintry, and crowds of spectators could impart. On
our way to the artist's either in the Harrow-road, we observed
all the symptoms of a general holiday. Along the Edgware-
road shops were closed, and business seemed entirely sus-
pended. Temporary balconies had been erects (1, in front
of several of the houses, and these, together with the win-
dows and reefs, were crowded with spectators. Along the
centre of theread the senof human heads kept moving tow. rile
tt.e groat point of attraction, to that on arriving at Mr.
Wyatt's establishment we found great difficulty in making
our way to the excellent position for seeing with which we
were politely accommodated. Galleries had been con-
structed, and seats placed on the roof, which we need hardly
say were crowded with as many of the nobility as arc to bo
found in town at this season of the year. Among those present
we recognised 11. R. 11. the Duke of Cambridge, 11. S. H.
the Duke of tilecklenhursh Strelite, the Duke of Rutland,
Earl of Cardegan, Earl of Westmorelaud, Countess of West-
moreland, Lady Fitzroy, Lord Ii Boothia, George Womb-
well, Esq., P. horthwick, Esq., M.l'., Sir F. French, M.l'., I
&c. &c. It had been expected that the removal of the statue
would have commenced at 10 o'clock, hut the necessary I
preparations delayed it until nearly 11. One hundred men of
the Fusileer Guards in fatigue dress pulled the immense
carriage on which the statue was placed into the road pre-
, paratory to attaching, the powerful team of horses by which
it was to be drawn to its ultimate destination. As soon as
I the statue was placed fairly in the middle of the road, its
enormous proportions became evident, and a general
shout of wonder and welcome was the result. The whole
scene at this moment was extremely imposing. In the
centre of the road stood the enormous statue, the plumes of
the illustrious duke on a level with the seeond-floor windows,
and the whole glittering in all the brightness of its golden
lacquer, while below and around, as far as the eye could
reach, every avenue, every corner in which a human being
could be packed, was literally crammed with anxious
spectators. Oa the railway-bridge, close by 20 stout horses
ready harnessed, and their heads decorated with boughs of
laurel, stood ready to he attached to the car, while the hand
of the Life Guards. who kept the ground, kept the people in
good humour by playing several popular airs. M a 1 t.. 11
the horses were attached, and the procession started in the
following order :

The procession moved slowly on amid immense cheering,
the horses seeming to draw their c normous load with great
facility. At the corner of the Edgware-road a slight halt took
plac •;and another in Park-lane, for the purptre of allowing
the horses to take breath, and at two o'clock the statue
arrived at the foot of the arch. Here the crowd was it
possible more dense than at any other portion of the route
and Apsley-hou-e was. at every point where there was
standing room, crowded with spectators. We waited here
for a considerable time, but there did not appear to be any
intention of proceeding further to-day ; indeed, the general
impnasion appeared to be, that it would be quite impossible
to effect the last but most laborious part of Ito ceremony
during the few hours of daylight which remained. At the
time of our going to press the statue was still on the carriage.
