LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 3.

TUERE are few by whom genius is honoured, or
to whom political worth is dear, who will not have
heard with unaffected pain the announcement of the
recent death of Mr. Stmt. His brilliant career as
popular tribune, and subsequently as parliamentary
debater, had indeed been recognised as ended some
time ago; but still in the vigour of matured and
cultivated intellect, he had but lately entered on
another and not less useful walk of public life. and
brief as was the opportunity afforded him for
' the ezereiso of his powers therein, we have
reason to believe that it had sufficed to show
how quickly his versatile nature was like'y to
have adapted itself to the requirements of diplo-
macy, and the duties that a representative of a great
and free country has to discharge when accredited to
the court of a feeble and faulty sovereign.
The appointment of Mr. SHEIL last autumn to
the Florence mission was deemed by some rather an
evidence of party-gratitude by the Whigs, than a
proof of lord PALMERSTON'S discrimination in dre
choice of his instruments abroad. Cavils were raised
at the nomination of a Catholic to an Italian state;
cynicism carped at the fact that his celebrity had
been gained rather by rhetoric than red tapery:
and, above all, his nomination was an affront to
scores of elderly younger sons and unpromoted cadets
of quality, who, having been thrust into the diplo-
matic service in boyhood as a means of aristocratic
subsistence, considered the reversion of such offices as

those of Minister at Florence as part of their lawful
heritage. We ventured at the time to express our
thorough contempt for all such objections, and our
satisfaction at seeing a man without family influence,
religious bigotry, or a stock of threadbare civil ser-
vice uniforms of every cut from the days of MALMES-
BUILT downwards, entrusted with the care of elides-
to win the confidence of the Italian people of
ein and orders in oarprofession of sincere desire

tion. and atpersuading them that, as regards the inter-
a sage et material benefits, England wants and wishes
11sr nothing that is not equally beneficial to her com-
mercial a laise and to herself. We knew, indeed,
that an active spirit of intrigue was, as it still is, at
work, for the purpose of driving our growing com-
merce from the ports of the peninsula. Political
hate, even more than mercantile envy, animates
every thought of tie Austrian government wherever
we are concerned ; and since the failure of the

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
Cape Town journal* to the ith of April, three
days later than the last advice*, have arrived. The
position of affairs seems almost unaltered.
The following is from the Graham's Town Journal
igrtra, April 1:
. . -

Adviees were received yestadop COM Log Wftliaa's
Town to last Saturday. Since She gersenies Muni km
Fort Mare strong patrols have bean snit nod In indons
directions, for the purpose of barrearing ensasy and
crippling his resources and meal of prannallass bow
tilitivs. This is the Caere Inroad time, sad if allowed so
store his supplies the war awry be ewatinuod to as Indalnits
period.
During the past week a patrol of 600 mss an
the Kith up the Buffalo, and another on the day
towards l'erie, in which direction it was understood there
were many huts and gardens. Subsequently another patrol
under Major Wilmot, lt.A., has been detailed towards
Seyolo'fi country, fur the purpose of opening op Line
Drift, the ford of the Keiskamma, on the direct road to this
place. The latter has proved himself to be an energetic and
able officer. Ile earned distinction in New Zealand, and
be has shown here the value of the experience gained by
him in that colony.
In our Saturday's issue it was stated that 600 Hottentots
had been armed and permitted to accompany Gen. Somerset
on patrol into the Kat river, where the Cadres were said lobe
In force ,has ing attacked the loyal I lottentots at Eland's Post,
and butchered four of them. One or two emcee were sande
in this statemeut which we take this early opporeatagy of
correcting. The number of Hottentots who were trod
to accompany Oen. Somerset was 100, and not as above
stated. Ilse fact of the enemy having roasted one of these
poor creature is confirmed, and shows what this people may
hereafter expect, should they place themselves at the mercy
of their Cadre allies.
The Hottentot, about King William's Town say that
Canaille has a large camp in the Amatolas, and lives in a
house built iu the same manner as that of an English person.
Letters from Fort Hare have come in to-day, up to Sun-
day last, at which date Major-General Somerset was out on
patrol, as above stated, in the Kat River. Prom the
amounts received, it appears that on the evening of Thurs-
day the picquota were tired on by the enemy, who appeared
to be in mane force. The Fingocs and Hottentots imme-
diately went to the support of the sentries, and from the blood
spoor seen the next morning, it is inferred that several of
the enemy must base been either killed or wounded. On
reaching Eland's Post all was found quiet, it being sup-
[hat the rebel Hottentots had moved into the Amatola.
Several " clumps" of Cadres were seen, but none of them
were brought to action. The general was continuing his
movement, and has sent directions fur six day's rations to
be forwarded to Post Rend.
