No. 68.] LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOV. 18, 1846.

Ist. For Kreli having permitted the Amekosa tribes, of
which he was paramount chief, to make war upon the colony.
2nd. For having male war upon the colony himselt,
permitting his people to join the Amakosa, or .frontier
tribes, against the colony.
3rd. For having imprisoned and put in tear of their lives
the British agent resident in his territory, and the mis-
sionaries at Butterworth.
4th. In having given harbour to colonial cattle taken from
the colonists by his countrymen.
Krell replied to these accusations by denying his responsi-
bility for acts committed by tribes with which the British
government had made treaties themselves. lie declared his
innocence of all the offences imputed to him, and challenged
the proof. Sir Andreas admitted the validity of his plea
to a great extent. Ho then proposed a treaty, by which
Krell should be acknowledged chief paramount of all Kaffir-
lend, and so rendered responsible for all acts of aggieision.
and that he should give up all colonial cattle fond
in his country, making satisfaction to Mr. Fynn
and the missionaries for their losses. lie was also to cede
all the territory between the Fish and lici rivers. The
Kaffir chief does not appear finally to have closed with these
conditions.
The Graham's Town paper of the let of September rays,
that the prospect of a satisfactory termination of the ruinous
conte.t in which the colony is now engaged, seems to be as
distant as ever. The eldest son and succeseor of the
late Onika Chief, Eur, has surrendered himself a
prisoner of war, and probably other chiefs may be disposed
to follow his example. But will their followers give up the
cattle and horses which they have stolen from the colony ?
Those who know the Kadirs say they never will. The
Kadirs will fight to the very last for this booty... They will
not surrender it at the bidding of any of the ash*. 'fait
chiefs have little power over the pi ople for gooa.
The Kaffirs are probably at the present time anxious
for peace—that is, they would like to enjoy the fruits
of their late forays in the colony in guictness, if
the government would consent to it. This is their
notion of peace. A peace on any other terms would be
rejected. In the mean time, the Colony is still exposed
to the depredations of these savages, whew stealing parties
are scattered in various directions, and aze watching every
opportunity of plundering the inhabitants.

As considerable dissatisfaction has been expressed I
throughout the country, at the delay that has taken
place in carrying out the provisions of the Small
Debts Act, it is right to say that the law officers of
the Crown have been for some time engaged framing
the various rules and orders which are required by
the creation of a new jurisdiction. They are not yet
completed ; and, as some time must elapse before
they can be finally settled, it is not probable that the
local courts can be in full operation much before the com-
mencement of the new year. It is certain that no unne-
cessary delay will be allowed to impede the progress of
a measure like this, in which the public interests are
so deeply involved. But there are many difficulties
against which provision assist be made, so that deli
bera
ver-
tion becomes necessary every step. Tne y
nature of the case demands eir.mmspection, for the
great objects proposed might easily be defeated by the
establishment of crude and ill-devised regulations.
Cheap justice is doubtless a great boon, bat to be cheap
it must be speedy. and this cannot exist apart from a
system of well-defined and uniform practice. To
arrange such a system is the great purpose of the pre-
sent Attorney-General, awl the public may well
afford some delay if the Small Debts Act, when it is
brought into operation, realises the many advantages
it is intended to confer.

The difFerent states of Continental Europe continue
to make revision against the emergency in which
they have been placed by the serious deficiency of the
late har The Belgian Senate has finally adopted
a bill, passed unanimously by the Chamber of Repre-
sentatives, to continue the entrance, duty free, of all
kinds of corn, grain, pulse, flour, meal, potatoes,ft and
cola of potatoes, until October 1, 1847. The bill
at the same time gives the government power to inter-
dict the expottation of the above articles of food to the
same date, should it think necessary, and to suspend
and renew such interdiction as it may see occasion.
A somewhatdifferent mensure,though intended for:the
same purpose,has been adopted by Bavaria, respecting
which the Nuremberg Oarrespondeot publishes the
following later from Vienna:—
" The ordounanee issued by tke Bavarian government,
an-ed redervm duty of 25 per cent. en the exporta-
tion of cora, has produced alarm in the Tyre], inasinueh as
that province derives the greatest part of its suppiies from
Bavaria, and at the same rime enjoys the advantage of
paying only sine-half the ordinary entrance duties of Austris.
Our government has, with great regret, been forced to
depart from principle of not fetterinE tke corn trade, and
has iiiso put restrietioas on evormtioa.

SWITZFALAND.—A COTPESpOaCiIt writes from Bale
on the 12th: "The setantorphoms which has taken place
in the clOrisition of ear Grand Council since the events at
Genova, te worthy of observation. The question now is,
who shall speak most strongly in favour of peace and concilia-
tion. There is no one wow do not adroit that the eentielene of
the pimple in their gorenaore is greatly *halter., and that the
only means of restoring it is to make just concession.,
rather than continue a disastrous resistance in favour of a
desperate rause. A motion by Dr. Brenner for convoking
the corporatism on a !Sunday, in order to enable a Treat"r
number of citizens to attend and
re exerche their f political
rights,
rights, was rejected upon the urgent presentati o Bur-
gomaster Bosireard that it would be desecrating the Sabbath.
Bat, in revenge, the petty council has, upon the representa-
tions made by the liberal party, dons justice upon this ultra-
devotion, by fixing Sunday next for the elections. This
morning, front nine till twelve o'clock, the ballot was open
in the different quarters of the town, ,ud in the rural dis-
tricts, on the question of minors, and was carried by a ma-
jority of 1,237 to 346. The success of the liberal cause will
inesease the number of eligible citizens by about 400, and
consequently augurs well for the election". They will,
therefore, open on the 15th, and continue without interrup-
tion
till the 28th, and the first sitting of the Conetitueat
Council w6l be held on the 30th."
THE SLAION AND TUE CROPS. —The last three '
weeks of dry weather have enabled the farmers to finish the
wheat sowing. The ground is open and friable, so that the
young plant will have every chance of cooing up quickly
and evenly. Where the seed was sown before the last miwi,
the plant is well above the ground. The colour of the young
plant is very fresh and heaithy. This first and most important
step to another wheat crop, has therefore, been got through
as well as could be wished. The turnip crop continues to
improve. The withered leaves have, in general, fallen off,
and been succeeded by new and healthy one.. At one time
the appearance of this crop was very threatening, the too
rapid growth of the plant having produced a strong tendency
to rot, but heavy win and a cooler temperature has set all
right again, in this neighbourhood at least. A friend of
ours finds, on turning over his potatoes, that the propor-
tion of those which have rotted since they were taken up,
is five per cent. This is much the same as rotted last year
under the same method of storing. Owing to the dearness
of every kind of food, the farmers are almost giving away
their loan pigs, to save the cost of keeping them through
the winter, but fat pigs, fat cattle, and fat sheep, keep their
prices. There is still plenty of grass in the fields, and both
cattle and shee are doing
i well. We
nei hear no more of the
disease amongst the cattle n this ghbourhood.—Liver.

RAILWAYS.
The market is rather remarkably subdued to-day,
ar.d although prices remain nominally as beccre, it may be
doubted whether they would not give way upon the slightest
pressure of sales.
