LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o'Clock.

We regret to learn that his Excellency the Lord
Lieutenant was prevented by indisposition from at-
tending the meeting of the Royal Dublin Society on
Tuesday last. We are informed that the state of
his lordship's health has for the last fortnight occa-
sioned some anxiety to his family and numerous
blend& The melancholy condition of Ireland for the
past twelve months,and the arduous duties inseparable
From the vice regal office, might well affect the
' rtrongest constitution ; but we trust a short relaxation
from the pressure of public business will have the
tffect of restoring the Earl of liesborough to perfect
health. It is understood his lordship has been advised
t 3 withdraw for a few weeks to his country seat in the
county Kilkenny.

An arrival from South Africa has brought advices
' front Cape Town to the 2nd February.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Paddington, having Sir Henry Fottinger on board,
arrived in Table Bay on the night of the 26th Jan.
Next morning his excellency landed, under the usual
solute, and proceeded in Sir Peregrine Maitland's
carriage, to government house, where the oaths of
office were administered by the chief justice, Sir John
Wylde. Sir Henry immediately issued the following
proclamation :
Iler majesty has been graciously pleased to appoint me
to be her high commissioner for the settling and adjustment
of the affairs of the territories in Southern Africa, adjacent
I or contiguous to the eastern and north-eastern frontier of
this colony, and to authorise and enjoin me to take all such
measures, and do all such matters and things, as by me may
be lawfully and discreetly done, fur preventing the recur-
rence of say irruption into the said colony of the tribes inha-
biting any of the territories aforesaid: and for maintaining
the said colony in peace and safety from invaders, and for
promoting, as far as may be possible, the good order, civi-
lisation, and moral and religious instruction of the tribes
aforesaid.

The new governor was to hold a levee on the 3rd
February; after which, it was understood that he
would proceed almost immediately to the frontiers,
accompanied by Sir George Berkeley, appointed com-
mander of the forces.

Ihe following in from the Mercantile Gazette of
29th January:
We are gratified to announce the arrival on Wednes-
day last of our new governor, Sir Henry Pottinger, and
the commander of the forces, Sir George Berkeley. This
arrival, so long and so anxiously looked for by the colonists
generally, will, we trust, be productive of lasting good
to this continent. From the extended powers with which
we believe that Sir Henry has been invested as her
majesty'. high commissioner for the adjustment of af.
fairs with the native tribes, and from his well-tried and
known ability, we are led to expect that our relations with
the natives on our eastern and north-eastern border will be
placed on a sound and solid basis. But we would advise
our fellow colonists to wait with patience the development
of any plan which may be suggested, even though it may
not be exactly the one to which they are most attached—re-
menshering that carrying out the object proposed is attended
with difficulties all but insuperable, and requires all the ability
and el the calm consideration which any MAR can bring to
it. We understand that his excellency intends proceeding
to the frontier ale ect immediately.
Th • intelligence from the frontier, broucht by this week's
port, is not of great importance. It appears, however, from
the as counts given by the local press, that there is still much
of an imeatisfactory and unsettled character in the state of
our K ffiar neighbours. The following are some of the par.
tienlu s, extracted from a letter in the Graham'. Town
Journal
We have nothing but disasters of late. While we were
out towards the T'Somo, Colonel Somerset sent out a party
ef 200 men to hold the Kei drift. These, finding them-
selves getting short of supplies, sent a patrol to get cattle
for ala,ghter. After marching for some time, on reaching
the so' omit ef the Kei hills, some cattle were seen about
two miles ahead. Three officers and four Hottentots gal-
loped off in pursuit, and succeeded in reaching the cattle,
the infintry following slowly behind. The latter saw the
former plainly bringing on the cattle, but there were
several hollows or necks to pass through, in which stood
thick clingers of thorns. On gaining the first of those the
infantry heard sharp firing and proceeded onward, but on
reaching the spot found only a horse and three or four
Kafiri dead, but neither the officers nor cattle. They
returned the lame evening. Two of the Hottentots
came into the camp, one after the other, the next
day, and a party was sent out in search of the miming
party. The three officers—namely, Captain Gibson, Dr.
Howell, Rifle Brigade, and Mr. Chetwynd, 73rd, were
found killed, but the Hottentots have not been discovered.
On Tuesday we got down to the Kci drift, but the river was
too much swollen to come. On Wednesday it subsided a little,
and on Thursday we creased the cavalry, in doing which
Sergeant-major Richie, 7th Dragoon Guards, two Cape
Mountill Riflemen, and two horses, were drowned. Two
mule waggons were also washed away The guns, infantry,
and 6,000 head of cattle were left on the other aide. Besides
having no food except beef, we have had wet weather all the
time we have been out."

pool ; it is expected she will bring two days later

The Cologne nouns reports that the negotiations
among the riverain states for the suspension of navi-
gation tolls on the Rhine in favour of vessels carrying
bread-stuffs and other alimentary substances, have
been favourably entertained by the Grand Duchy of
Baden, France, Grand-Ducal Hesse, and Nassau; and
that it was understood Prussia, Ramis, and Holland
were equally well dieposed tot he measure.

The German papers report that rice may now enter
freely into the States of the Zollverein. By the tariff
it is subject to heavy duties upon importation, but by
a special clause it is exempted from duty when the
price of rye rises to 4 thalers the boisseau. That
price being now attained and exceeded, rice may be
