CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We have received files of papers from the Cape
of Good Hope to the Ist of October inclusive.
Everything at the colony Was going on satisfac-
torily.

The Militant Gazette of Vienna of the 9th
says : " General Bebutoff has established his
head-quarters at Kutais, and intends shortly to
assume the offensive rgainst the Turkish army of
Anaklea and Redoubt Kale. The Russians have
good winter quarters in the valleys, and the army
is abundantly supplied with all that it requires by
the populations of Armenia, the commissariat
paying cash for all they received."

ON TRITE d; FALSE SPERMATORItfREA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
Real Qufforers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure. From 'he German
of Dr. PICKFORIt. With an Introduction by the Editor, containing
a complete exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued
by the advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are
credulous enough to seek their aid.
" tr. flexion' 's known to English readers by his frequent prac:.-
1/0 contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
rme, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall eteci any
,ther equally flagrant evil which it may be in his p wet to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. "The tribe of ' Quiet sympathisers,
and 'medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; sad it this book
conld find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
exdpirical system of treating Spermatorrheoa, and to place the treat-

likely to do much good."

RUSSIA.

The InvalidG Russe publishes a report of a "san-
guinary action" which took place on the 6th of
November, between a Russian corps under Gene-
ral Koucherinko and a body of mountaineers of
the tribe of the Tchetchen. The Russians seem
to have commenced the movement, and, as far as
can be gathered from the telegraphic report, to
have been worsted.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the Gth, in the
Pays, says :

"There is a great scarcity of gun flints in Russia. A.
contract had bee❑ made with a Vienna firm which, in
consequence of the prohibition of the Austrian Govern-
ment, has not been able to send them hither. A. premium
has been offered to any one who will discoVer flint, or
the means of manufacturing it. An American house, it
is said, took up the affair, and engaged to supply the
Russian army with the material, by sending it through
France ; but the French Government has also stopped
it, so that the Russian Government is on the point of
seeing its armies with flintless muskets."

PRUSSIA.
A letter from Berlin, in the Hamburg Correspon-
dent, says :—" There is much talk in our diploma-
tic circles of the reply which the Court of St.
Petersburg is said to have given to the representa-
tions of Bavaria and Saxony. It is rumoured
that the mediation of these two German States is
Rot directly rejected, nor is it either clearly ac-
cepted. It nevertheless appears that Russia
wishes to reserve herself this mode of getting out
of her embarrassment, and that she is disposed to
accept the means of re-establishing peace, which
these two powers recommend."

SPAIN.
MADRID, Dec. B.—The state of parties here
makes it generally believed that Ministerial modi-
fications will shortly take place, but there is no
talk of either Espartero or O'Donnell leaving the
direction of affairs at present.
To-day is the festival of the Conception, and
the first anniversary since the immaculate concep-
tion of the Virgin Mary has been proclaimed as a
dogma of faith by the Pope ; it is always kept as
a close holiday, but is to be celebrated to-day with
more than usual pomp.
The Cortes are occupied with details •f the army
estimates. They adjourned last evening till the

being Sunday. There was no Bolsa to-day.

NEW LABEL.--In consequence of the great
variety of counterfeit labels of A. ROWLAND & SONS'
MACASSAR OIL, now in circulation, and which so nearly resemble
the original as frequently to deceive the unwary—they have em-
ployed those eminent artists Messrs. Perkins, Bacon, Co., who,
at great cost, and by a peculiar process of their own, have succeeded
in producing from steel " A NEW LABEL," which cannot be forged.
It is composed of a section of an engine-turned circle, repeated one
hundred and thirty times—and forms an original lace-work ground,
upon which is engraved in white letters,
"UNDER THE PATRONAGE OF THE COURTS OF EUROPE,"
with an embossed profile of her Majesty "TILE QUEEN," lately
specially taken for the purpose, and which surmounts the words
(also in white letters)

" ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL,
FOR THR GROWTH, RESTORATION, AND FOR BEAUTIFTINQ TOR

HUMAN Than."
Under which is the Signature of the Proprietors In Red Ink
" A. ROWLAND & SONS."

LATEST NEWS.

THE FALL OF KARS.

ST. PETERSBURG, DEC. 16.

The Invikle Busse announces that Kars was
surrendered to General Mouravieff on the 26th of

November.

The Muchir, Wassif Paella, eight other Pachas,
General Williams, and the entire garrison are

prisoners of war.

Previous to the above being received Galignani
wrote as follows :—" As a military position, Kars
is worthless ; and the key to Armenia, the pass
of the Soghlani-dagb, or "Onion Mountain," has
been occupied by General Mouravieff since the
commencement of his campaign. It was this
occupation which prevented Selim Pacha, at Erze-
roum, from reinforcing and re-victualling the
garrison of Kars. The only adTantage which
would be gained by the Russians from the re-
duction of Kars will be the final destruction of
the Anatolian army, which, after having sur-
vived two disastrous campaigns, a siege, and three
terrible winters, would terminate its immediate
military career by a capitulation. At the com•
mencemcnt of the Eastern war this army probably
amounted to 60,000 men, but the sanguinary
defeats of Baindir, Soobattan, Bayezid, Akhiska,
and Kurukdere, coupled with the ravages effected
by pestilence and famine, have reduced it to less
than 16,000 men, the present strength of that
garrison. A splendid park of field artillery,
numbering 120 pieces, and a few heavy siege
guns, will likewise fall, into the hands of the
victors. Beyond this nothing would accrue to the
Russians, for the town of Kars itself is but a con-
gregation of mud huts and squalid dwelling-
houses, dominated by an ancient Genoese citadel
long since in ruins, and unsusceptible of defence.
No plunder, for the inhabitants are poverty-
stricken.

VIENNA, DEC. 16.
Count Esterhazy leaves to-day for St. Peters-

burg.
It is understood that he is bearer of most im-
portant despatches, containing the propositions for
a pacification, as finally resolved on.

WARSAW, DEC. 13.

An order of the Superior Council of Adminis-
tration enjoins all the inhabitants of the kingdom
to offer gifts to the defenders of Sebastopol.

MARSEILLES, DEC. 16.

The Thabor has arrived.
The news from the Crimea states that the

snow continued to fall.

The intelligence is confirmed that, in the
spring, the English army of the East will com-
prise six Divisions, in two corps d'armee, to be
respectively commanded by Generals Campbell
and Eyre.

Up to the departure of the courier, Omer Pacha
had not attacked Kutais, and had moved his

head-quarters to Redout-Kale.
The Turkish army of operation consisted of
40,000 men ; but the transport service was diffi-
cult in consequence of the weather. The snow
covered the table-lands of Armenia.

The Auxiliary Division which had left Erze-
roum for Kars had not been able to advance.
London, England, 1855-12-17

Our compassing and covering atmosphere
And open a clear sight beyond the sky
Of supreme empire ; this of earth's was done—
Anti kings crept out again to feel the sun.
The kings crept out—the peoples sate at home,
And finding the long-invocated peace
A pall embroidered with worn images
Of rights divine, too scant to cover doom
Such as they suffered,—cursed the corn that grew
Rankly, to bitter bread, on Waterloo.
A deep gloom centred in the deep repose—
The nations stood up mute to count their dead—
And he who owned the NAME which vibrated
Through silence,—trusting to his noblest foes
When earth was all t. )o grey for chivalry,
Died of their mercies 'mid the desert sea.
Again, upon the same great theme, her voice is
lifted up as with the passionate grief of a Cassan-
dra : singing of the Dead—
() wild St. Helen ! very still she kept him,
With a green willow for all pyramid,—
Which stirred a little if the low wind did,
A little more, if pilgrims overwept him
Disparting the lithe boughs to see the clay
Which seemed to cover his for judgment day
Nay, not so long !—France kept ber old affection
As deeply as the sepulchre the corse,
Until dilated by such love's remorse
To a new angel of the resurrection,
She cried, Behold, thou England ! I would bore
The dead whereof thou wettest, from that grave.'
And England answered in the courtesy
Which, ancient foes turned lovers, may befit,—
' Take back thy dead ! and when thou buriest it,
Throw in all former strifes 'twixt thee and me.'
Amen, mine England ! 'tie a courteous claim—
But ask a little room too .. . for tby shame !
Because it was not well, it was well,
Nor tuneful with thy lofty-chanted part
Among the Oceanides,—that Heart
To bind and bare and vex with vulture fell.
I would, my noble England ! men might seek
All crimson stains upon thy breast—not cheek !
I would that hostile fleets bad scarred this bay,
Instead of the lone ship which waited moored
Untily thy princely purpose was assured,
Then left a shadow—not to pass away—
Not for to-night's moon, nor to-morrow's sun 1
Green watching hills, ye witnessed what was done 1"
Pronouncing thus, in flue, the oracular dictum of
poesy upon the fame of this later demigod, the
" Crowned and Buried"—

But glittered dew-like in the covenanted
Meridian light. He was a despot—granted !
But the avroc of his autocratic mouth
Said ye i' the people's French : he magnified
The image of the freedom he denied.
And if they asked for rights, he made reply
Ye have my glory !'—and so, drawing round them
His ample purple, glorified and bound them
In an embrace that seemed identity.
He ruled them like a tyrant—true ! but none
Were ruled like slaves : each felt Napoleon.
I do not praise this man : the man was flawed
For Adam—much more Christ !—his knee, unbent—
His han(l, unclean—his aspiration, pent
With a sword-sweep —pshaw !—but since he had
The genius to be loved, why let him have
The justice to be honoured in his grave.
I think this nation's tears thus poured together,
Worthier than shouts ; I think this funeral
Grander than crownings, though a Pope bless all ;
I think this grave stronger than thrones. But whether
The crowned Napoleon or the buried clay
Be better, I discern not—Angels may."
So, with that wild strain of a melody most beautiful
and most affecting still vibrating upon the chords
of our remembrance, let us close these brief and
inadequate words of reference to the writings of a
true woman, and a poet no less genuine and illus-
trious. Honour to Elizabeth Barrett Browning,
whose name—as that of Mary Somerville, is the
boast of her sex in the scientific annals of our
generation—is preeminent among the living glories
of our English literature !

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day).

CORN EXCHANGE.

There was a slight improvement in the demand for wheat
in most of the country markets held on Saturday. In
prices very little change took place. All kinds of spring
corn sold heavily, and the quotations were somewhat
drooping. Most of the continental markets have been dull
and lower, although the supplies on sale have been very
moderate. Very large supplies of grain and flour continue
to be shipped from the American ports.
Only moderate quantities of home produce were received
up to our market last week. The imports were 10,010
quarters of wheat, 1,550 barley, 19,9 i 8 oats, 2,3;35 beans,
195 peas, 519 tares, 11,821 linseed, 9,491 rapeseed, 15(
mustard • eed, 404 sundry seeds, 1,060 sacks and 15,484
barrels of flour.
We had a moderate supply Of English wheat in to•day's
market. The trade with alt kinds was exceedingly inac-
tive. A few samples of fine Essex realised about last Mon-
day's prices, but all other kinds were is to 2s per quarter
cheaper, and a clearance was not effected.
Foreign wheat, the supply of which was but moderate,
ruled heavy, and the quotations were almost nominal.
Fine malting barley realised last week's quotations ; but
grinding and distilling sorts were heavy, and is pe r
quarter lower.
The malt trade was very dull, at the late decline.
We were heavily supplied with oats. Old qualities sold
at late quotations, bat new samples gave way 6d to is per
quarter.

Beans were exceedingly heavy, and fully 2s per quarter
lower.

Grey peas gave way is per quarter. No change in white.
Flour moved off slowly, and country marks were rather
easier to purchase.
