THE KAFIR WAR.

The Windsor, Captain Pryce, from Madras, put in
hero this morning from contrary winds. By her we
have intelligence from the Cape of Good Hope to the
9tb January, and from King William's Town to the 4th
of the same month, being 10 or 12 days later than that
by the Hellespont, the last homeward mail. By this
arrival we are glad to learn that a strong impression
prevailed that affairs were much in favour of a more
speedy end of the war than was, some time since, anti-
cipated. The increased energy in the movement of the
Government troops, the result of the arrival of rein-
forcements from home, appeared to have infused greater
confidence among all classes; in fact, the best possible
feeling is said to prevail. It was generally rumoured
that Sandilla was about to retire from the hostile posi-
tion he has hitherto held.
The dispatches and mail, said to be large and im-
portant, were landed from the Windsor on Friday, but
have not yet been delivered here. The dispatches from
the seat of war are to the 2d and 4th January, and may
be said to be comprised in the following general
order:—

"King William's Town, Jan. 2, 1852.
" Dispatches have been this evening received by his
Excellency the Commander-in-Chief ft om Major-Gene-
ral Somerset and Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre. Upwards
of 6,000 head of cattle had been captured by Major-
General Somerset up to the 23d ult., and 7,000 were in
possession of Colonel Eyre up to the 21st ult., exclusive
of vast numbers, estimated at 700, drowned at the con•
fluence of the Lomo and the Kei. Major-General So-
merset and Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre were in direct
communication on the 23d ult., and were about to de-
scend the Lower Bashee, to which large herds of
cattle had been driven; while Faker, it was expected,
would make a forward movement. The Fingoes had
rallied round the British troops.
" The continued rain had been much against the troops,
weo were, however, in high spirits and health.
By his Excellency's command.
"Joliet GARYOCK, Lieutenant-Colonel,
Principal Secretary."
Jan. 4.—The mournful intelligence has reached town
this morning of the death of Major-General Wilmot.
Royal Artillery, commander of Fort redder. This able
and gallant officer was shot on new years day whit
leading on his men in en attack upon the enemy in the
jungle of the Fish River, where it is said Sandilla has
now taken shelter. The lamented deceased was amongst
the bravest and most active officers in the field. On
every occasion where hard and gallant service was de-
manded he distinguished himself. He fell as a soldier,
and his name wilt stand conspicuous among the defenders
of the country, and be embalmed in the memory of its
inhabitants.
The Friend of the Sovereignty of the 22d of December
says that the Basuto tribes are restless and unsettled,
through attacks made on them by reputed allies of the
Government, the Plattberg Bastards and Barolongs.
Previous to these attacks the people of Moshesh were
disposed to abstain from violence. Since then the
farmers along the boundaries have suffered from the
Basutos, who on the 14th of December attacked three
waggons belonging to some trek-boers, and captured a
number of cattle and horses. Two companies of the
45th, under Captain Parish, and a detachment of artil-
lery under Lieutenant Singer, have been stationed for
the protection of the chief Maroco and the Barolong
tribe; and Lieutenant Bourke and 25 of the Cape Corps
have marched to Winburg to enable the district farmers
to return to their homes.
The Natal Witness of the 18th of December removes
all doubts as to the reported loss of Mr. Thompson, who
was at the head of the Zeoloo contingent in the Sove-
reignty. He has returned with his forces, partly be-
cause they were not imperatively required, and partly
because they had been afflicted with dysentery.
The South African of the 3d of January, says that
her Majesty's steamer, Vulcan, was to leave Table Bay
on that day for England. Captain Monkland, 74th
Highlanders, Dr. Dick, and Lieutenant Palmer, of the
13th Regiment, and Quartermaster Cassidy, take pas-
sage in her. The Rhadamanthus sailed on the 2d of
January from Table Bay for Simon's Bay, where she
would join Commodore Wyvill, in the Castor, and the
Seringapatam hulk. The Styx, 6, arrived at Port Blies-
beth on the 29th of December, with a mail and 20,000/.
specie.
In Table Bay were the merchant ships Collingwood,
for Bombay; Pholaix, for 'Ateoa Bey; Windsor, and
Lady Montagu, and John Bull, for London; and Acasta,
for Ceylon; the brigs Josephine, for Lcindon; Work-
ingtoe, for East London; and Essex, Anne, Curlew,
Wanderer, Sarah Bell, and Jane. The barque Reginald
Heber, from Calcutta, fqr Liverpool, was under repair.
On the 3d of January arrived the barque Athenian, 80
days from England, lull of passengers. Sailed on the
31st of December, the Caldew, for London; and the
Isabella Wood, for the Mauritius; 2d of January, Ro-
dolphe, for Bourbon; Hyderabad, for Trinidad; and
Thorwalsden, for Batavia.
