CAPE CF GOOD HOPE.

We have receivedthe Zuid Afrikaan of the 31st
Alty, bringing news from the Cape two days later
than that brought ly the Bosphorus. The intelli-
gence, however, is lot important. The following
are the only items o interest in the paper we have
received :
The accounts by iunday's post state that another
murder has been penetrated by the rebel Hottentots
upon two herds, in i‘anleN's Flat. ten miles south of
Graham's Town. Itiese men (.s Fingoe and a Hot-
tentot) were out in tie field with the cattle, when
they were ;attacked ad shot by the rebels, who carried
off the cattle.
An attack had bees made on Waterkloof, by Col.
Buller, on the 17ti instant, at a place called the
Horse-shoe, where the lamented Colonel Fordyce
was killed. The Kafirs fought bravely. The
Colonel destroyed a lumber of huts, and the enemy
gave way before tie troops ; but the icstant the
retreat was sounded they re-appeared in thousands,
and commenced a desperate attack on the rear guard,
only repelled by the good working of artillery,
which Colonel Buller had brought with him. One
of the rifles was severely, and two others slightly,
wounded.

MELANCIOLY WRECK of an EMIGRANT
SHIF—T WENTY LIVES LOST.
Letters bast arrived announcing the melancholy loss
of an English migrant ship, the Trusty, of Scarboroougheh,
having on hoed nearly two hundred emigrants, ff t
shores of Capt Gaspe, while on a passage to Quebec.
The vessel, which was commanded by Mr. Foster,
sighted the laid near the Cape on the 22d of July, when
her course we shaped to the northward, On the fol-
lowing morniig a dense fog came on, preventing the
crew observiß any distance beyond a cable's length or
so of the vessel; and, although orders were given to
keep the shtpwell off the land, she eventually struck on
a reef of rock within a short distance of the Cape,
where she weedily filled and settled down. Against
the commandof the master, one of the boats was low-
ered and Ott away from the vesseL It contained
in all, it is supposed, about twenty persons.
An attempt was made to gain the shore, but so
great was the surf, that the boat was capsized by it be-
fore it had retched many yards from the wreck, and the
whole of thehelpless creatures perished. Among them
were the tudermentioned persons:—Thomas Blake,
Daniel Saunlerson, John Dickenson, !William Brown,
David Hodgion, John Atkinson, Thomas Shaw, Wm.
and Thomas Stellinge Thomas Winteringham, Stephen
Bullock, Martha Tayfer, Wright Bankee, Robert Yates,
Frank Francis, and Thomas Burton. Fur eight hours
the position of those on the wreck was one of great
peril; the sea was sweeping over her decks, and. it was
expected every moment she would go to pieces. Soon
atter day had broken a schooner bore down to the spot,
and, with the aid of the crews of two other vessels that
came up, the whole that were clinging to, the wreck
were taken tiff in safety. Their lugs age, however, was
lost, for in a tew days the vessel broke up, and was a
' total wreck. The emigrants have since been forwarded
to Quebec.

DESTRUCTION OF TWO MILLS.
Yesterday morning one of the most extensive fires
that has occurred near London for a considerable time
past broke out shortly before four o'clocok, in the pre-
mises of Mr. Edward Bell, known as the Tottenham-
mills, situate on an island surrounded by the river Lee,
near the Tottenham station of the Eastern Counties
Railway.

The building in which the disaster originated was
mill; it was between 130 feet
stood on the south side of the
trivertermed
dSLO theeefe
bank.oil
n crushingg.
rr Ih
te
lower
portion of this properly
was fitted up with moat costly machinery for press-
ing the various seeds used in the manufacture of
oils, adjoining which were the oil stores, where
several hundred tons' weight of oil were deposited,
and the upper story was used as the seed stores, in which
a vast amount of seeds were piled away. This immense
stack of buildings was separated from a still larger one,
termed the flour mill and corn stores, by a space of
ground not more than eighteen feet wide; whilst sundry
other buildings—such as the malting-house, barer,
offices, and private dwellings—stood within a few yards
of the two mills before alluded to. From the fact of the
different structures being detached, it was at first anti-
cipated that one mill only, and that in which the fire
began, would have been destroyed; but unfortunately
such was not the case, and even as late as seven o'clock
fast evening the fire was far from being extinguished, and
many thousand pounds' worth of property by that hour
had been reduced to ashes.
The premises consumed may be thus enumerated :
The oil mill and stores of oil, seeds, &c., totally de-
stroyed; the flour mill burnt down, and its contents all
but consumed; the counting-houses aed offices gutted;
one part of some of the private dwellings destroyed; the
old malt-house burnt-out. The stabling, engine, and
some outbuildings are fortunately saved.
Mr. Beil was partially insured in the Norwich "Union,
Imperial, and Scottish Union fire-offices. liteuings belonged to the Neve River Company, and is un-
known whether they are insured or not.
About fifty families will be thrown out of employment
,by this melancholy disaster.

Atoong the many visitors of note who have fa-
voured this town with their residence lately (says the Hyde
Correspondent of the Portsmouth Tunes and Naval Gazette,
of Saturday) we have not seen announced the names of Herr
and Madame Brandt, the distinguishid artistes of the mu-
sical world, who have been making the tour of this beautiful
island as a short respite from the fatigue of a metropolitan
season which has drawn unusually largely upon their highly
gifted talents and exertions. The front of their temporary
residence (59, Union-street, Hyde), has daily and nightly
been thronged with the fashionable promenaders of this
locale, whose steps have been involuntarily arrested, en pas-
sant, by the sweet and melodious warblings of these eminent
and distingue vocalists.

HER. MAJESTY'S CRUISE.—The Royal intention
of putting to sea, on a trip to Antwerp, was abandoned on
Saturday, owing to very foul weather, half a gale having
been blowing the whole of the day. Yesterday (Sunday)
the weather was rather worse than better, a strong wind
being
accompanied by squall:l of rain. The attendant squa-
dron remained in Cowes Roads, and would move up in two
divisions (as before) off Oiborne, last evening, if the
weather moderated, in order that the Queen might make
he rliest start this morning, if the elements were fa-
vourable.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—InfOrMatkII bas been re-
ceived at Bristol of a frightful accident which occurred on
Friday afternoon at Llanyattoch, Monmouthshire. by which,
we regret to say, several lives have been sacrificed. It ap-
pears that in the vicinity of ibis village are several large
limestone quarries, on which a great number of men are em-
ployed. On Friday, from some hitherto unexplained cause,
the side of oue of these quarries gave way, about 61,000 tone
were detached, and two wirortunate men, if not several more,
are known to be buried beneath the fallen mass. The whole
of the labourers eagagEal at the several quarries, as soon as
this fearful accident was made known, at once hastened to
the spot with a view of extricating the bodies of th, pax
men from the superincumbent mass;
mense quantity of rock fallen that it 13 expected some days
will elapse Pgcre they can In reached.
