FINE HEAD of HAIR, WHISKERS, AND
MUSTACHIOS. The successful results of the last half cen-
tury have proved beyond question, that
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL

is endowed with singularly nourishing powers in the growth and
restoration of the human hair, and when every other specific has
failed.
This celebrated Oil is now universally acknowledged to be the
cheapest, and superior to all other preparations for the Hair. It pre-
vents it from falling oft or turning grey—strengthens weak hair—
produces a thick and luxuriant growth—and makes it beautifully
soft, curly, and glossy. In the growth of Whiskers, Eyebrows, and
Mustachios, it 1+ unfailing in Its stimulative operation,. In reference
to the Hair of early childhood, the use of the Oil is attended with the
happiest effects; mild, invigorating, and purifying in every instance,
it dispels scurf and dandriff, and renders unnecessary the use of the
fine comb.—Price 3s. Gd. and 7s. ; or Family Bottles (equal to four

On the wrapper of each bottle are the words, " ROWLAND'S

THE CALCUTTA AND
CAPE MAIL.

In our Third Edition of yesterday we announced
the arrival of the Queen of the South screw-
steamer, at Plymouth, with the Calcutta and Cape
mails. We subjoin the following additional par-
ticulars.

The monthly summary of the Cape Town Mail
of November 6th, states that the war is not yet
brought to a close. Operations continue against
the Kaffirs, who, although dispersed and pursued,
are neither reduced nor driven beyond the Kei.
Early in October, General Cathcart constructed a
defensible post at Hog's Back, opposite the ruined
military village of Auckland, in order to clear the
Amatolas, and the laager of the rebel Uithaalder.
Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre had command of the pa-
trol, which consisted of the 73d Regiment, three
companies of the 60th, Armstrong's Horse, Camp-
bell's Fingoes, the Kat Kiver Levy, two brigades
of rockets, and a proportion of the Cape Mounted
Rifles. They started on the 4th of October, and
on the sth surprised
and burned Uithaalder's
laager, without loss to the troops. This patrol has
ever since been incessantly engaged in following
up the enemy.
The chiefs decline the General's terms of uncon-
ditional surrender. Macomo and Sandilli, with
the Gaika Kaffirs, find shelter in the forests which
skirt the Amatolas ; they are said to be destitute
of ammunition, and their herds are fast decreasing.
Captain Hearns, of the 12th, has been killed
while out with a detachment of this regiment,
escorting a drove -of contractor's cattle. Two of
the 12th, and a civilian named Riley, were killed
at the sarn? ,7,74,
A spirited but unsuccessful effort has been made-
by Lieutenant Whitmore, of the Cape Mounted
Rifles, to capture the chief Sandilli, who had with
him 14 or 15 mounted Kaffirs, and several on foot.
Although possessing an-inferior force, Lieutehaift
Whitmore dashed on, and having divided the
enemy, followed the lesser portion, Sandilli and
one attendant, who, having the better horses,
escaped into a wood.
On the 6th of October General Cathcart had an
interview with the chiefs of the Slambie tribes at
Fort Murray. They consisted of Pato, Cobus
Congo, Toise Umhala, Umkye, Jan Tzatzoe, and
Siwani and his mother Nonebi, being all the Slam-
bies except the rebel Seyolo. The Governor's
address promised protection provided they did not
allow any of the rebels who had taken shelter among
their tribes to attack the Queen's subjects. These
chiefs severally expressed their desire for peace, and
a few days after Seyolo delivered himself up, and
is now in safe custody.
The colonial papers state their inability to give
explicit intelligence to the public from the deficiency
of general orders. The present Commander, they
say, is as close as General' Sir Harry Smith was
open in this particular.
A correspondent writes that the last (sham's
Town Journal contains a proclamation offering,
with certain exceptions, life to all the Hottentots
on condition of their surrendering themselves. It
is understood that those in the Waterkloof are in
great want, and anxious to come in. Rumours are
rife as to the removal of the seat of Government ;
Graham's Town is spoken of, but the eastern colo-
nists would prefer Uitenhage or Alice. A Com-
mando of the Trans-Vaal Boers, 406 men, has lately
invaded the country of the Chief Secheli ; they took
the principal town by storm after six hours' hard
fighting, and left 4 farmers and 300 of Secheli's
warriors dead on the field. The cause of this ex-
pedition is unknown.
Much discussion has taken place on the Colonial
Church Bill, proposed by Mr. Gladstone. The
Cape Town Churchmen are, by a large majority,
favourable to synodical action.
Commodore Bowker has submitted to the Go-
vernor, through Commissioner Owen, a plan' for
locating 400 young farmers on the Tambookie
frontier, under military tenure—a measure which
is looked upon as extremely sound, and likely to be
productive of advantage to the country at large.
Several emigrant vessels proceeding to Australia,
have put into the Cape for refreshments, viz. :
On the 14th of October, the Koh-i-noor, from
Leith, July 22 ; Collooney, from Leith, July 22,
and sailed October 31 ; 28th of October, Lizzie
Webber, from Sunderland, August 1, and sailed
November 2 ; sth of November, Australia, from
St. John's, New Brunswick.
The brig Xarifa, with wines from Oporto, arrived
at the Cape on the 21st of October, bound to Port
Philip, and the Portuguese ship Adamson, from
Lisbon, arrived at the Cape on the 21st, and sailed
for Algoa Bay on the 26th of October.
The General Screw Steam-Shipping Company's
mail packet Sir Robert Peel, which left Natal on
the 12th of October, East London on the 14th,
Algoa Bay on the 15th, and Mossel Bay on the
16th, arrived at the Cape on the 19th of October,
and left again with the English mails on the 27th
of October. _

The steamer Fettercairn, from Algoa Bay, on
the 22d of October, arrived at the Cape on the
31st of October.
The General Screw Steam-Shipping Company's
mail-packet Lady Jocelyn arrived at the Mauritius
on the 19th of October, only 39 days from Ply-
mouth.
The French Government war-steamer Archimede,
6 guns, which left Bourbon on the 25th of Septem-
ber, arrived at the Cape on the 13th of October,
bound to Rochefort.
Her Majesty's frigate Spartan, 26 guns, Captain
Sir William Hoste, from Plymouth the 29th of
July, arrived at the Cape on the 13th of October,
and sailed subsequently,for Madras.
Her Majesty's steam-vessel Hydra left Table
Bay, in October, with the new lighthouse for Bird
Islands, and returned on the 30th of October to
Simon's Bay.
The United States steamer St. Mary, 22 guns,
from Penang the 28th of August, arrived at the
Cape on the 15th and sailed for Boston on the 27th
of October.
The Queen of the South brings 100,000 rupees
from India for the Oriental Bank.
The mails, in charge of Commander Wharton,
R.N., were landed in time to be dispatched by the
train which arrives at Paddington at 10.40 p.m.

education. To this M. Osy replied that, in a
country which is almost exclusively Catholic, there
being only ten thousand dissidents in a population
of four millions and a half of inhabitants, it was

atural and proper that the clergy should have an
influence on public education. If, added M. Osy,
the education were to be exclusively liberal, the
result would be socialism. The debate was ad-
journed.
