THE COAST OF AFRICA.—By the arrival of

Saturday, we have intelligence from the coast of
Africa to the 29 hof November. She had a remark-

Sierra Leone; and brought a large mail from Ascen-
sion and Sierra Leone, and from the following ships:
The Kiegfisber, Tortoise, Phenix, Alert, Rattler,
Cygnet, Sealark, Star, Flying Fish, Wroine, Cyclops,
Heels, Teaser, Bonnetta, Spy, Centaur, and
Firefly. All persona in the service abroad and all
their friends at home are deeply interested. While
the vJyage to or from the coast of Africa is accom-
plished in a month, it may not be too much to expect
that some means should be used to ensure the deli-
very of letters to the several ships on the station in
another month alter the arrival of the vessel which
brought them from England.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE

We have received Cape journals to Nov. 3. The
Cape Town Mail has the following :

- .
At the meeting of the association on Tuesday (Oct. 30),
numerous communications wereread from different parts of
the country. They bore upon various subjects connected
with the question now agitatlrg the colony, and they showed
the strength and permanence of the feeling with which that
question was regarded. The chief points of interest, how-
ever, were Mr. Fairbairn's visit to Stellenbosch and Mr.
Ebden's sale of wheat to the government. It is scarcely
necessary to state with what feelings every illusion to this
last extraordinary transaction was received by a meeting
of honourable men. Less surprise was expressed thaw
might have been expected- but the expression of indig-
nation at a betrayal marked by so th.ny 'granting
circumstances, was deep and unmistakable. A great deal
of surprise, however, was expressed that the directors
of the Cape of Good Hive B ink should, ne was re-
ported, have been satisfied with Mr. Ebden's explana-
tion, and have approved of his proceedings. The share-
holders of the bank, as they have not moved in
the matter, may be supposed to be also approving
parties. It is most gratifying, therefore, to know that their
customers are not,—and that zany of them have withdrawn
from an institution "that cannot protect ifs own honour."
The explanation which hu proved so satisfactory to the di-
rectors of the Cape of Good Hope Bank hu, we believe, been
submitted to the directors of the Equitable Assurance and
Trust Company,—but with very different results. A meet-
ing of the shareholders of that company has now been called
for the 26th instant, to determine whether Mr. Ebden shall
continue in, or be removed from, its direction.

Mr. Martin Burke, the dissenting juror in Mr.
Duffy's trial, him; addressed the electors of Cork. The
Evening Post counts up thirteen candidates for Cork,
and beton) the end of this week half-a-dozen more
faggot candidates will try and make a brief blaze of
notoriety, some of them in order to give a hint to
other constituencies in want of candidates.
Accounts have reached town to the effect that a
conflict took place last night at a place called KU-
loughy, in the Biog's County, consequent on an at-
tempt of a body of men to carry off some crops.
The police, about 11 in number, interfered, when the
plunderers fired a volley, by which one policeman
was killed on the spot, two more mortally wounded,
and four more severely so. The police fired in return,
but with what effect is not known, owing to the
darkness of the night.
Another account says, at the first fire three police-
men fell, and while some of their comrades *misted to
carry away the wounded men those who remained
were overpowered by numbers and obliged to retreat
lint* their barracks, into which several volleys were
discharged after them, and the crops were thus car-
ried off.

Coat, OCT. 13.
I am sorry to say that we shall have to go through
two elections here—first, the liberals must choose a
candidate ; and secondly,must agree to beat CJl.Chat-
tertoe. The mock candidates are all withdrawing,
and the ground on the liberal side is left to Messrs.
WCartby and Murphy. The latter gentleman has
not arrived yet, but his family and friends are actively
advancing his interests. His election committee has
been advertised to day, consisting of thirty-five
names—six of them being near re:slivers of the ser-
geant, and seven out of the entire being protestant.,
two of them being tories. One misses from the list the

gentleman who was included in the batch of admirals
made at the last promotion, and who, to oar know-
ledge, has not been at sea since 1809—unless he
may have occasionally performed the voyage from
Leith to London in a steamer.
Lastly, Mr. Hums prepares to reduce the dockyard
battalions. If we may rely upon a statement made
by Sir HENRY WILLOtIOIII3Y, the Admiralty in 1847
expended 72,3391. uon the formation of them bat-
talions when the Hoax of Commons only voted
20,0001. for the purpose. These battalions are merely
a clandestine ad i tiou to the number of soldiers allowed
by parliament; like the 8,000 marines to serve on shore
in the navy estimate of this year; and like the (so-called)
Irish police, which is a well-armed and disciplined
corps of infantry, numbering on the lit of January,
1847, no less than 11,011 men, and costing the nation
492,8811. The number, and consequently the cost, of
this force has since been increased.

_ -
Halryeery Meeting.—Cilonoseter, Feb. 28.—S. BAnna,
Esq., in the chair.
The SECRETARY read the report, from which it ap-
pealed that the call which had been made had been paid
with a promptitude, probably, not surpassed by any rail-
way company," and that the tinances were in a sound con
didon. As to the works the report said,'' The directors
think it necessary now to promote the construction of the
works with greater vigour, their proceedings having been
checked for some time put by the retarded state of the
works on the South Wales Railway, it being obvious
that It would have been misapplied speed to have expedited
the works from Gloucester to the Grange before the South
Wales company were prepared to forma junction there. The
directors conceive they shall beat consult the interest of the
proprietors by constructing the works with steady diligence,
and by acting so as to apportion the expenditure uniformly,
and to be at all times prepared to accelerate operations ac-1
cording to circumstances. With this view the contractors are
about to commence the deep cuttings at Rightism, and with
the spoil to form the embankments towards the Grange ; and
the directors will otherwise regulate the works so as to open
them from Gloucester to the Grange simultaneously with the
South Wales lice from the Grange to Chepstow, and they
believe it will be in their power to accomplish
it without making any unusual calls on the proprietors."
The report further stated that all the land required was now
obtained with the exception of a small portion at Gloucester,
and that many extortionate demands had been made in that
respect. They were firmly convinced, as at the outset, that
the undertaking would be found a profitable one. The line
wu leased to the Great Western Company at 4 per cent. on
the cost of construction, with half the surplus profits, which
surplus profits it was thought might be considerable. The
directors gave assurance of their belief that the cost of the
construction would but very slightly exceed the estimate,
and, referring to the list of proprietors, observed that some
large bona fide shareholders had lately come in—a con.
vincing proof of the estimation in which the undertaking
was held in the commercial world.
The statement of accounts showed the total of receipts to
be 76,5531. Is. 7d., and after expenditure for land and com-
pensation, construction, engineering, law, and parliamentary
expenses, salaries, &c., a balance of 15,8201. was left in the
bankers' hands.—The report wu carried unanimously.

FLEET WOOD, PRESTON, AND WENT RIDING
JUNCTION.

Half-yearly Meeting.—Preston, Feb. 28.—T. B. ADM,
sox, Eq., in the chair.
The SECRETARY read the directors' report, from which
It appeared that farther program has been made in complet-
ing the communication between the Longridge line and that
orthe Preston and Wyre, and this junction wiU be opened
for traffic in the course of the ensuing summer. To a•eet
the current expense a call was made, payable on the 16th
Jan. It was thought advisable that this call should not be
more than 10s. a share, and it is expected that another eall,
of not greater amount, in the course of the present year, will
be the only demand made upon the shareholders, till arenas
stances warrant an extension of the line towards Yorkshire.
The CHAIRMAN stated that, la consequence of the eel-
gamin of the times, they only asked • 10s., instead of a
30s. call. The line would be completed In from three to
six months, according to the speed at which the works
were urged, and the consequent expense.
After considerable discussion, in the course of which it
was elicited that there was a arge amount of arrears with
regard to previous call; that the company was liable to
about 3,0001. for law a:pineal ; and that a gentlemen
named Webster had been in receipt of 2001. a year for
managing the Longbridge line, but that this expense was
invaded to be done away with by the appointment of a
sectetary to manage the whole undertaking at a salary of
1601. • year, the present secretary, who receives 2001. a year,
resigning. The report was received and adopted.

SIMBEY.—A new drama, entitled "The Bivouac of
the Hills, r,r the Bridal," was produced here lest night. It
is of the Surrey character, and certainly not above the Sur-
rey standard aexcellence. The incidents are entirely desti-
tute of novelty. There is a quarrel between a prin.e sol-
dier and his commanding officer about the sweetheart of the
former, resulting, of course, in the condemnation of the sol-
dier, who is, as usual, saved at the moment of execution by
the lady whose heroism locums a husband sad rids her coun-
try (Switserlaad) of its French invaders by the same act.
The piece, which was respectably acted, especially the pert
filled by Mr. Emery, and well put nowt the stage, was suc-
cessful, and—seeing with what small matters the audiences
of the other side of the water are satisfied—may possibly run
for some few weeks.

ANOTIIKR " GAME-LAW " MlJRDen.—The Durham
Adverloser of Friday reports another murder, believed
to have been committed by poachers, on Sunday morning lest,

at Raby Folly, ab .nt six o'clock that morning, to walk over
same of the grounds. Nut retoraine, fears began to be enter-
tiined for his safety, :a threats had been uttered by certain
arties agaiest him. Search was made in different places,
and, on Tuesday afternoon, while his brutbor and another
man was anteing the plantation above-mentioned,
they found the body of May in a thicket lying in •
pool of blood, and his head nearly blown off. His
stick was lying by his side, and • Inadrd pistol was in his
pocket. lie appeared to have been shot dead without
any resistance or eruggle. Marks of shut were found in a
tree opposite, and the footmarks of the deceased were traced
into the thieltrt, and footmarks of twa persons were tread
out of the thicket towards liurnmerbeck. The keeper of
Eveawood tollbar had heard several shots fired in the direc-
tion of the plantation during the Saturday night and Sunday
morning. It is rather a remarkable circumstance that the
Raby fox hounds had been ranging through the plantation
on the Monday. without any one having seen the body. An
inquest was held on Thursday, when the above fact. harries
been given in evidence, the inquiry was adjourned
for a week. "It will be remembered," adds the
Durham paper " that it was tbo,.ght Thompson and Dow-
son, who kdled John Shirley, at Refry, about a year ago,
expected it was May at whom they fired, and not Shirley.
May was also a witness against them at their trial at the
assizes." May bas left a wife and three children.

SPAIN.

oar correspondent says:
It appetite that the King of the Belgianshas for the present
failed in the office which he tusdertook of mediator between
England and Spain. Sir Henry Bulwer's recent trip to
Brussels, probably motived by these negotiations, bee no
doubt opened the eyes of Leopold uto the character and
preepec.s of the government of Nereus. For the rest the
main difficulty is said to have concerned the return of Sir
Henry to Madrid, which the Spanish government would in
no wise bear of.
The relations of France with Spain at this moment are in
a dubious, undecided state. Nerve*: is exceedingly huffed
and discontented with the small control exercised over tt •
Spaniels refugees on the border ; and it is not improbable
that some of the umbrage with which the Spanish dictator
roped, the new President may b 3 visited on the envoy.

Birkenhead, where he found a woman lying deed upon the
floor, and a child, about nine months old, also dead, lying at
her feet. Four young children, whess ages average from
about four to ten, were huddled round the fire-place. The
grits contained some scanty fuel, and the poor creatures
were, in the language of the inspector, " attempting to
squeeze the heat out of the bars.' Behind the children
lay the dead bodies of the mother and child. The house
contained no article of furniture whatever, nor was there
a morsel of food of any dercription within the wale.
It appears that the deceased female (who was about
forty years of age) wan named Ellen Kane. She had come
with her children from Ireland only • few days ago, and
facing in the door, tale poenmsion of the unoccupied house,
where she was found dead. She never applied to any of the
