" GENERAL ORDER.

Heed-quarters, King W illiam s Town, Jan. 30.
" 1. The Commander-in-Chief has this day received the
report of the Civil Commissioner of Albert, well setting forth
the active and most successful operations of a patrol of 200
Aldert Burghers, under Field Commandant Olivier,
Field Cornets ,Meyburgh, Robbertse. Venter, Wippenaar.
Warner, and J. Venter; 20 of the European levy, under

and 70 Fingoes, under Captain Collins, upon the left flank
of the invading force into Kreli's country, by which the
enemy were spoiled of 2,000 head of cattle, 300 horses, 20
stand of arms, many assagais, and 160 slain.
" These exertions are highly meritorious at any time, es•
pecially at this moment, when the enemy is well beginning
to feel the punishment he merits, and fully demonstrates the
power of loyal men devoted to the service of their country.

"1. At a general court-martial, assembled at, King
William's Town, on the 19th of January, 1852, Private
John Brander, Albany Levy, was arraigned upon the follow-
ing charge For having at King William's Town, British
Kafraria, on or about the 14th March, 1851, deserted to the
enemy, taking with him his arms and ammunition,' of which
he was convicted and sentenced to be shot to death by mus-
ketry, at such time and place as his Excellency the Coin.
mander-in-Chief may appoint, which sentence of death has
been commuted by the Commander-in-Chief to imprisonment,
with hard labour, for a period of seven years, the prisoner
having served, by Major-General Somerset's authority,
upon surrendering himself, against the enemy on several
occasions.

" 2. The prisoner will be forwarded to Cape Town, to be
handed over to the civil authorities.

" GENERAL ORDER,

" Head-quarters, King William's Town, Jan. 23. I
" The rebel Kafir chiefs having, on the 15th instant, for :
orally sued for peace, it was intimated to them, through the
Gaika Commissioner, that her Majesty cannot treat with
rebels;' that 'their surrender must be a general and uncondi.
tional surrender, trusting to her Majesty's clemency,' and that
this, tendered in a solemn manner and in good faith, hosti-
lities would cease.'

" Eight days have now elapsed since the rebels were
made acquainted with his Excellency's decision; and the
demand for submission not having been complied with, ope-
rations against them will be continued with every activity.
The troops will take the field on the 26th and 27th instant,
in seven columns, to penetrate the Amatolas, and the
country of Seyolo, Stock, Tola, and Zazini, on the left bank
of the Keiskamma ; and to spoil the cattle, and devastate
the crops of the enemy. The afirs say they will fight no
more; but until the object in view, viz., their unconditional
submission, be thoroughly effected, hostilities will continue.
" During the prosecution of these operations all the re-
gular and Burgher posts along the line of frontier, and is
the interior line, are desired to be most alert in patrolling,
watching, and waylaying, night and day; and they will
arrest, when possible, all straggling Hottentots and Kafir,
by every means tolerated by civilized war. A vigorous
observance of these instructions will much aid the troops in
their operations, and ensure the subjugation of those rebels
and bandits.
" Terms of amity have been entered into with Bokoo and
his son Mapassa, and hostilities with this powerful tribe
will cease.

SOUTH LINCOLNSHIRE ELECTION.
SLEAFORD, FnrnAT.—This being the day appointed for thi
re-election of Sir John Trollope, the newly-appointed Pre.
sident of the Poor.law Board, the Hon. Baronet attended
with some of his friends, and went through the ceremony 4
There were not at any time more than 200 persons present.
Sir Joax THOROLD, Bart., of Syston, briefly proposed.
and Mr. ANTHONY WILSON seconded, the nomination of
Sir J. Trollope; and no other person being nominated, this
Under-Sheriff declared Sir John Trollope duly elected.
Sir JOILY TROLLOPE, in returning thanks, said he should
soon have to make another appearance before the electors, as
the present Parliament was doomed, and would no doubt in
the course of a very short time be dissolued. He (Sir Jonn)
bad accepted an office which entailed great labour and re-
sponsibility, and though his predecessor, Mr. Baines, who
was a man of great talent and industry, had cleared the way
for bim, and made his task comparatively easy, he still felt
that he was sacrificing his comfort in order to assist her,Ma.
jesty's present advisers. It might be that the present Go-
vernment would not last long; for they had great difficulties
to get over ; but it was the duty of those who upheld Pro.
tectionist principles to do their utmost to uphold a Proteo.
tionist Administration.
