LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
THIS DAY, Four o'Clock.
WE regret to announce the sudden decease of Sir
JoHN WILLIAMS, Knight, one of Her Majesty's
Justices of Court of Queen's Bench, which took place
at his country residence. Livermere Park, near Bury',
on the evening of Monday last. It appears that *e
learned judge complained of indisposition darit,
morning, but medics' aid having been afforded,
he felt better in the afternoon. Serious appre-
' hensions were not entertained ; however, while
reclining on a sofa in the evening, the learned
gentleman suddenlv expired. Sir JOHN WILLIAMS
was called to the 'bar in 1804, and received a silk
gown in 1827. He was elevated to the bench in
1834 as a Baron of the Exchequer, and the same year
transferred to the Court of Queen's Bench. The de-
ceased was junior counsel to Lords BROUGH AM and
DENMAN is the famous defence of QUEEN CAROLINE.
The vacancy on the judicial bench occasioned by the
decease of Sir J. WILLIAMS will most probably be
filled by the appointment of Mr. DymnAs, in which
case the Solicitor-Generalship will be offered either
to Mr. Itommtr, Q.C., of the Chancery Bar, or to
Mr. Sergeant TALPOURD.

New Zealand papers, received by way of Sydney,
contain some interesting particulars of the present
state of the colony, from which it may be presumed
that questions of disputed right to lands are likely to
involve us in some further hostilities. The murder
of Mr. GILLESPIE and his son had naturally excited
alarm among the settlers upon the Hutt. There was
no doubt they had been killed by the natives. In
fact the guilty parties had been traced, bat RANG!.
HAEATA, the chief under whose control they
were, refused to surrender them without a

struggle. By the last accounts he had left
Tanpo, and thrown himself into a fortress
built by the NOATIRANGATARI, where, with
force which, according to some estimates, amounted
to 900 men he was awaiting an attack. The Calliope,
Driver, and Slaine Castle, had proceeded with 260
men of the 58th and 99th regiments to Porirua,
where it was believed they would be joined by RAC-
PARAIIA and his followers. The promptitude with
which Captain GREY was acting had Oven general
satisfaction, and the settlers were especially thankful
for the organisation of the armed police.

By Cape of Good Hope papers to the 24th of June
received this morning, we have four days' later news
from the scene of war. The intelligence is brief, but
important. It shows that no more lighting had taken
place in the neighbourhood of Fort Peddie, nor was
any serious engagement expected. Reinforcements
were arriving, and the Governor was only awaiting
the concentration of all the Burgher forces, to act on
the offensive, the result of which will doubtless be the
complete subjugation of the Kaffir tribes.

(From the Sour liAfricanCo,nniereialAdrertiser of's:ll634j
Lest frontier poet, which arrrived on Monday afternoon,
brings nothing new of any consequence. Another detach-
ment of waggons had been passed safely through Trom-
petter's Drilt to Fort Peddie, and there seems to have
been no more fighting in that quarter. It is stated
that 3,500 Burghers from the western districts have
crossed the Gamptoos River; 200 of these, with their wag.
gons, aimed in Graham's Town on Sunday, the 14th inst.
Commandant Linde, with 400 Swellendam Burghers and
200 Hottentota, marched forward from Uitenhage on the
previous Wednesday. Four hundred Worcester Burghers,
under Du Toit, with several other parties, had reached
Uitenhage. Thus, in a few weeks more, the Colonial forces,
of all sorts, will be ready to enter on the real business of the
campaign.
In the mean time, though the Kaffirs have disappeared
from the neighbourhood of the villages and " legers ' on
the immediate frontier, parties of marauders are found as
far down as Uitenhage, in search of cattle nearly a hundred
miles from their own border. The following extract from a
private letter gives a lively idea of the service in which the
Burghers and troops will be engaged, probably for some
months to come .
" Camp Uitenhage, June 16, 1846.
" I mentioned in my last that the Katbrs had stolen 300
head of cattle within half an hour of this, and that Com-
mandant Du Teit, of the Worcester Burghers, had gone in
pursuit. lie was fortunate enough in overtaking the rascals
at Pheasant Drift, on the Sunday River, and shot all they
saw, viz., 11, and recaptured the cattle. Du Toit behaved
nobly shooting two himself, but I regret that one of his men
was killed by an assegai. One Kaffir got into the river and
covered his head with reeds to make it appear that he was a
bush. Young Du Teit however saw his head, fired, and shot
him through the head. They took several assegais, and two
muskets, which were loaded. Both these were pointed at
Du Toit, but flashed in the pan. They also took three horses.
" The weather continues very warm during the day, and
cold at night. No rain, however.
"17th June.—An Aide has just arrived from Graham's
Town with a requisition to press all oxen and waggons to
convey provisions from Algoa Bay to Graham's Town, as
they are very badly off there. They have in consequence
taken our oxen, and how long we shall 'remain here it is
impossible to say. Our horses only get 121 b. of oat hay per
diem. I have been obliged to buy forage and feed my horse
up a little, for there is not a blade of grass where our camp
is. •
Nothing seems to be publicly known respecting the move-
ments or intentions of the KaMn. If they ever meditated an
attack on the colony in overwhelming numbers, as some
have supposed, they have lost their opportunity. Such
men as Macomo, Botma, or Stock, who have known the
colony, and the power it can in no long time bring to
bear upon them, must begin to be sensible that they
are in the very jaws of destruction. Tile sparse and
scattered population of the immediate frontier, with
some 1500 soldiers, have, in effect, repulsed their
whole force as invaders. Though cattle have been cap-
tured, the loss of men on the Kaffir side, compared with
that of the colonists and troops, cannot but be felt by
them as a decisive proof of their utter incapacity to con-
tinue the contest on anything like equal terms. What then
can they expect new that the number of effective military
is more than doubled on their front, while the frontier
colonists have been reinforced by five or six thousand men
from the rear ? They trust, no doubt, to the bush, or the
ravines and thickets of their country, but in the winter even
this resource fails them, for in the months of July and
August, the cold and rain on the mountains are fatal to their
cattle, and the plains will be occupied or commanded by the
troops and burghers.
Nothing further is known reepecting the designs of Creili
or of the Tambookies. If they mean rniseheif, they are not
in a hurry.

The shareholders in the Reading and Guildford line
are more d satisfied still than about the tails,
on finding that they are to be kept out of their registered
shares until the second call of 11. 10s., due in January,
shall be paid, as well as the first due next month. Thus
they are debarred from the right of dealing with their own
property, that is selling if they choose, fur nearly three
months because they cannot fbr that time deliver shares. This is
a curious manoeuvre, or contrivance of the management,
about the objects and motives of which more may transpire

PRODUCE.
hincenqc -LANE, Half-past Two.- -The Sugar market
has been quiet to-dav without alteration in prices ; a small
amount of business only done in West India by private con-
tract, and there hu been but one small public sale of 1,400
bags, comprising three sorts of British plantation, which did
not alter quotations. Refined continues very firm; standard
quality must now be quoted 63e. to 635. 6d. ; but, as stated
previously in the Express, the advance must be chiefly attri
buted to the casualty of two refining houses in Liverpool and
Glasgow having been burned down. Foreign.-2,000 hos. low
to fine yellow were offered for exportation only, and a part sold
at 235. to 265., which were about previous rates.
Colfee.-The public sales have been large to-day, and gone
off without spirit. 3,000 bags fair to good Singapore Java
sold at low prices, 325. to 325. 6. ; low good ordinary Ceylon
sold at 398. Od. ; good ordinary bought in at 405., and very
gond ordinary sold at 418.. Rio sold at 425.
Nutmegs and Cloves have gone off steadily at previous
rates. Penang nutmegs, 2s. 9d. to 3s. Id. Penang cloves,
21. 2d. Sumatra and Penan pepper, dull, and bought in at
21d. per lb.
Cotton.-This article has become one of great speculative
interest ; it is very firm at yesterday's advance, but the
transactions have been on a more limited scale to-day.
Tea continues steady in prices, but the market is inactive.
