LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o'Clock.

The Bishop of Durham and the Bishop of Worcea-
us bare both been mentioned for the vacant arch-
bishopric of York.

By an arrival from South Africa we have papers
from Graham's Town to the 24st, and Cape Town to
the 28th August. The colony had been visited with
heavy rains, by which the crops were much benefitted.
The accounts from the frontier continued to report
wall sets of Kaffir aggression, but no movement of
any moment had taken place. With respect to the pre-
cise intentions of Sir Henry Pottinger, very little an-
to have been known. The resumption of hosti.
[Wes was, however, expected, as reinforcements were
moving upon the frontier from Graham's Town, and
the arrangements for commencing field operations
were very nearly matured. Military stores of all
kinds had been quietly forwarded to the several ad-
vanced posts, and large depots bad been formed at
every point from whence they might be moat readily
imam' when required. Some important concessions had
teen made to the burgher levies, from whence
im-
portant advantages to the service were expected.
Then forces are in future to select their own com-
mandants, and to be allowed more freedom of action
when in the field ; as too rigid a subjection to military
control is considered to militate against their effi-
ciency in desultory warfare. It is hoped that this
concession may reconcile burgher prejudices. Mr.
Woosnum and the Rev. Mr. Calderwood had been on
a minion to the Kat River and to Shiloh, con-
nected, it was said, with some indisposition
shown by the coloured inhabitants in those parts
to do military service. The Tambookie chiefs Unite-
rara and klapassa, had also been at Shiloh, the former
charging the latter with having, in conjunction with
the Amageleka Kaffir', attacked him, and the latter
complaining that, without any reasonable cause, the
Bushmen (so called), under Madoor, had made a
foray upon him, killed some of his people, and cap-
tured their cattle. It was difficult to discover the
merits of such charges, hut a strong conviction was
expressed of the good faith of Umterara.
Respecting the future intentions of Sir Henry Pot-
Linger we find the following in the South African
Acirertiser :

Although everything is outwardly quiet on the frontier,
may of the inhabitants look with anxiety to the movement
which it is generally supposed his excellency is about tg make
into Kaffirland, with the intention of establishing softie eve.
tee of order and efficient government in that country. His
preparations, so far as they are known, inspire confi-
dence an to the result of any open hostilities; bat
it ought to be counted certain, that the wide, ex-
posed frontier of the colony will he in the mean
time scoured by destructive bands of the enemy, and for this
all parties should be fully prepared. Foreseeing this, his
excellency has informed the people that he will give them
due notice previous to any movement, and take such precau-
tionary measures as may seem moat likely to prevent or miti-
gate to areas a calamity. It must not, however, be forgotten,
that in spite of the extensive and highly judicious lines of de-
fence token up by Sir Benjamin IYUrban in 1836, while the
troops advanced towards the Kei, bodies of the enemy con-
tinued, up to the final enaction of hostilities, to ravage
the frontier districts; and last year, although ample notice
was given, and it was universally believed that ample
preparation had been made for defence, the name deplorable
senses were renewed. Something more must therefore be
done now than was done on those two occasion', before the
country can be considered safe. or indeed before anything
can be reasonably looked for but carnage and devastaeion—
should a renewal of the war be found absolutely unavoidable,
that is, should the chiefs, especially Pato and Creili, °testi.
lately refuse either to submit or to give that redress which
has been demanded of them.

What his excellency's military preparations are
seems to be imperfectly known on the frontier. It
is only observed that be is organizing and concentrating
a very large forte, and, taking due warning by the dimstcrs
of lan year, he is accumulating good store of proclaims
along the whole line, and as far in advance as his posts
extend.

His views as to the future government or settlement of
Haffirland, are entirely unknown. The only hint that has
transpired, wan given in his compul ory interview with Mr
Nel, when he is reported to have said, that, " had the wiser
measures of Sir Benjamin D't'rban not been subverted, the
present state of things would, in all probability, never have
taken place."
The Lieut.-Governor of the Eastern Province?, ac-
companied by Lieut. Forsyth, R.N., had been on a
visit to Port Frances, for the purpose of verifying the
late Mr. Skerrow's favourable report of the Kowie
ricer, which was found to be correct in every parti-
cular. The Graham's Town Journal says: "It is
whispered that some proposal will be made to
complete the marine works at the Kowie by means
of a public association of capitalists ; and we
doubt not but that if this be taken np
with spirit, the results will be of the highest interest
and importance to the whole settlement" The same
paper says : " The only information from the mouth o
the Buffalo is of a pleasing character. A letter before
as tells of all the marks of advancing colonisation—of
ploughs actively at work, houses and stores in
oonrse of erection—of the busy ham of commerce—
the arrival and departure of vessels, and all the other
indications of an inroad of civilisation upon the
hitherto unproductive wilderness."
