H E GOLD SUPP LY.
" Twenty years ago the annual consumption of frold for
coinage and other purposes was little more than seven millic►ris ster-
ling. The gold crop this year is expected to reach nearly thirty-six
millions. Six weeks, a month, nay, even a week, occasionally pro-
duces prodigious sums. A chest, containing six men's Lbe►ire for
six weeks, had in it 250 lbs. of gold ; its value would be abe ut ten
thousand pounds sterling." No wonder such golden opport unities
have produced an universal disposition to emigrate. With all parties
about to proceed to Australia a suitable Outfit is the first cons ddera-
tion, and no 'emigrant can be expected to know what his Outfit
should contain, but the perfect experience of E. MOSES and' SON
fully qualities them to make up a proper Outfit. If the em igrant
would succeed in his mighty undertaking, it is absolutely necessary
that he should have an Outfit perfectly suited to his passage, a nd the
climate to which he is going. E. MOSES and SONS provide Outfits
superior to any other house in the world—their minute, psi ictical,
and perfect knowledge of every article necessary for the ern igrant,
and the prodigious amount of business they have transacted in that
line, is an incontestible proof of their Outfits beineunrisralled . The
absolute necessity for Outfits being suitable, compact, 'and cci ,mplete
has been anticipated by E. MOSES and SON, and their exig erience
in every branch of the outfitting department, has enabled them suc-
cessfully to attain the :rand object desired by every emigrant—an
Outfit combining utility and comfort. To meet their daily in-
creasing applications for Outfits, E. MOSES and SON keep ti se most
extensive stock of goods, and maintain a separate dep az talent,
in their gigantic establishment, especially for outfitting ; this n ot only
affords facilities for the emigrant, but shows him the immediate
utility of the selection, the adaptation of all goods to the purpose,
and the complete suitability of every article comprising 'the un-
equalled Outfits from E. MOSES and SON.
Outfits 3/. 155., Gt. 155., 11/. I ls., and upwards. A full list. can be
had on application, or post free to any part of the kingdom. All
necessary intormation for emigrants relative to sailing of vessels,

THE KAFIR WAR.

PLYMOUTH, JUNE 6.—The General Screw Steam
Shipping Company's mail-packet Hellespont, Captain
W. Watts, arrived this afternoon, at two o'clock. Her
outward dates were—Plymouth, March 16; St. Vincent,
March 28; Sierra Leone, April 3; Cape, April 23:
Homeward does-4-Capt, May 2; Sierra LeOtle, May.lB;
St. Vincent, .MeY 24; Plyinouth, June 6.
The only military movement 4iUCKV, our last advices is
one by Coloucl Michel on the 17th of April, near Fort
Cox, when a sub-divirion of ,the Light Company of the
6th Regiment killed eight Refire with the bayonet; and
a company oflUfles in ambush drove a body headlong
down sonae cliffs, killing.twenty, had wohnding a great
number. • . -

The last dates from King William's Town are to the
27th of April. General Cathcart had recovered from
the effects of a severe'fall, and was to; proeeed the'
27th to Fort Beaufort; i?repare.tory, to an attack upon an;,
extensive scale, on Ffiday, the 30th 9f April, upon the
Watcnktiof• where Macomt had again removed, with a
large party of Eafirs, from the Amatolas, and had baen
joined by a great many rebel Hottentots. It was un-
derstood that the General would direct 'this movement
in person. _

General Cathcart's determinatiOn to, hang the coun-
cillors of. Seyolo and 'Stock; ~who haVe been captured
while endeavouring to. excite Pato, and other friendly
Kafirs to join the enemy, has inspired great confidence,
and the erection of the gallows at King William's Town
for that purpoiellas struck much terror into the Kafirs.
The General's ,policy of destroying the enemy's cattle is
most imp&tint, as .is 'also_ Ins refusal to have personal
convitinications with any of the chiefs among the Kafirs.
His energy all decision 9f character are much admired.-
and a prospect seema,now open of really subduing and
punishing thri Katirs,,so sittowproduce a permanent and
substantial peace bv_tho course of three o 1 four months.

Mr. Montague, Secretary to the Government, has
come home in the 'EEellespont;
Mr. Southey, Civil Commissioner. of. Swellendarn, is
to do the duty of Mr. Montagu during hii absence.
Her Majesty's steam-vessel Styx was to leave Table
Bay on Friday, May 7, for Algoa Bay and the Buffalo-
mouth, with military stores and 'provisions. Commis-
sary-General Maclean was to proceed in her to Algoa
Bay, and thence, with a military escort, to Fort Beau-
fort, via Graham'a• Town, to be attached to the military
head•quarters of the Commander-in-Chief, which, for
a few weeks, would be at Fort Beaufort, and afterwards
at Graham's Town, where the Commissariat head-
quarters are in future to be permanently established,
prior to the ultimate removal to the frontier of the re-
mainder of theleada of the military departments.
General Cathcart had issued the following address:—
" Chiefs, amapakati, and people who dwell between the
rivers Sei add Keiskalnma
Our great and good Queen Victoria has sent me, George
Cathcart, to be your great chief and governor.
" I ant come among you to do good to all thoSe who are
faithful and true to their word.
"Therefore,- Pato, Siwani, Toise, Umkai, and all those
chiefs and men of the T'Slambie tribes who have been faith-
ful during this war—l am your good friend so long as yon,
your amapakati, and people, will allow me to be so. I will
also be the friend of Umhala, provided that his future con-
duct be such as to acquire my good opinion. •
"But as for Sandilli, and all the Gaika chiefs• and people,
also the T'Slanobies Seyolo and Umfundisi, and their followers,
they have rebelled against their Sovereign, Queen Victoria,
and have suffered rebel Hottentots and others to join then' in
fighting against her soldiers.
' That is a great crime, and cannot be forgotten ; there-
fore, though I wish for peace, and that all bloodshed should
cease, Sandilli, and all those who have taken part in this
wicked rebellion, must go beyond the Kei,' and none of them

Dated at King William'' Town, this 12th day of April
18520, - ,

B y generat order from head-quarters, dated April 21,
it appears that 600 Minie muskets are in hand. Six of
them'are to be given to each of the 62 companies of bat-
talions under General Cathcart's command. They are
to be giVen to the best.rearksnien, one of which, and one
only, to be a non-commissioned officer; the present arms
to be placed in store. No two marksmen are to stand as
fron't and roar rank relatively to each ‘. other. The se-
lected men at the word of: command are to be ready, to
spring inlront, but never.to be nude a substitUte for an
aivancndguard. When the bipedal service is over the
marksmen are, at the sound of the bugle-, to return to
their respective places. Commanding officers are en-
joined to be careful and scrupulous in the selection of
marksmen for this important service, which. will carry
with it high honorary distinction, and entitle those se-
lected to favourable consideration.

A general order, dated King William's Town, April
19, direeti particular care to bo observed that all charges
for expenditure are to betiebited to the several branches.
All captured • cattle are to be sold forthwith, and the
proceeis to be lodged in the nearest military chett, The,
funds thus raised Are toliti &cuss gratuities to soldiera
and levies serving In the field.
Our correspondent's letter, dated. Cape Town, May 1,
is as follows: • •

" The mail packet, which starts to-day, carries home little
intelligence of any moment respecting the war. An opera-
tion of such magnitude, judiciously planned and well exe-
cuted, once more expelled the enemy from the ravines and
rocky heights of Waterkloof, but he appears to have re-
turned in considerable force almost immediately on the re-
tirement of the troops. Several columns have also in the
course of the month acted with success against the bands
occupying the Amatola mountains, and upwards of 4,600
head of cattle have been captured, with some hundred horses.
From the character of the enemy and the nature of the coun-
try no decisive action, taken singly, is to be expected, if the
only termination of the contest is to be the expulsion of the
whole tribe. It is a war of • exhaustion, like the blockade of
an impracticable fortress. They will hold out as long as they
have anything
to eat.
" About the beginning of the month Sandilli sent a mes-
sage, offering submission on any terms which the Governor
should dictate. He was informed that Mr. Brownlee' the
Gaika Commissioner, was placed by the Governor at Fort
Cox for the express purpose of receiving any message. No-
thing more has been heard of it.
"From the Orange River Sovereignty there is nothing
new, that is, no events, for it cannot be supposed that ar-
rangements are not in progress for a settlement of differences
in that quarter. •
" Cel the borders of the colony, near Fort Beaufort, and
even in the neighbourhood of Graham's Town, frequent de-
predations are still committed by small bands of armed men,
which show a want of security and constant exposure to
danger over an immense extent of country.
A portion of the
Sappers and Miners will shortly com-
mence the erection of a fort in such a position as to com-
mand some of
the principal passes of the Amatola
mount ains. It is intended by this and other operations
to prevent the Refits from again occupying those fast-
nesses from which they have born expelled.
:(Frotn the Graham's Town Journal Ertra, April 27.)
The following extracts from letters before us will put
tho reader in possession of such facts as have reached
us:—
'
"KING WILLIAM'S-TOWN, Arnie 23.
"Colonel
Michel's brigade had a very smart brush with
the enemy on the 17th of A ril, the corner of the basin
nearest to Fort Cox. The enemy t red very strong. One
company of the 6th and
one mustered
of thes Rifles were on the left
flank, well covered by Whilerocksthe main body were
moving to take a fresh position
n to the right front, the two
companies became severely engaged, and for some time no
advantage was gained by either side, until a sub-division of
the 6th Light Company, making a desperate charge, drove
the enemy with heavy loss from their position. Eight were
killed by the bayonet, and one man, named Kelly, captured
a musket ready capped and loaded by dashing out a Kafir's
brains with the butt of his piece. During this time the Co-
lonel ordered a company of Rifles into ambush,' and to wait
till he ordered them to rise. The column moved off, and
when the Kafirs thought all was clear, they came on for the
purpose of having a few partial shots; but, sad to state,
upon their arrival within one hundred yards:of the company
of Rifles; they receired a volley, which drove them headlong
down krantzes, • &c• leaving some twenty killed, besides
othees wounded.

" Stock's Councillor is to be hanged for trying to in-
cite Pato to war. He is now under two constables for
security.
" It is affirmed in a communication before us that the
Governor in person purposes to proceed with the military
party who are to go out with the Kafir spy, with the view of
surprising Sandilli in his hiding-place. His Excellency was
to start at three o'clock in the morning at the head of a
large cavalry patrol.
The reports from within the colony are calculated to
excite,uneasiness, and, if correct, will call for prompt and
active measures. It is said that Commandant Pullen's
beacon fire on the Zuurberg has been lit up for several
days, and that it is reported that Kafirs and Hottentots
have entered the Zuurberg in some force. It is further re-
ported that a Hottentot who fell in, as it is said, with the
enemy, has given information, purporting that two other
parties of the enemy are to enter the colony at other points.
It is right, however, we shduld say-that these rumours re-
quire confirmation ; and hence, while we give publicity to
them, we do so, not to excite alarm, 'but to induce that
guarded caution which may prevent surprise, and enable
parties to give early notice, should they be well founded. A
burgher, named Du Prez, or Du Pre, is reported to be
severely wounded by the enemy in the locality mentioned,
and an express, we are told, had been dispatched to the
Civil Commissioner of Uitenhage, praying for immediate
medical assistance."

Ring William's Town, April 20.
" There has been an entire change in the field operations
since the arrival of the new Governor, and, from what we
are able to gather, decidedly for the better. It seems more
his policy to protect the colony than to take cattle.
"No sooner did the chief Sandilli hear of the arrival of
General Cathcart, than he sent to Commissioner Brownlee
to ask for peace, as the land had been disturbed long
enough; But the messenger was sent back to say that the
