MPORTANT NEWS FROM AUSTRALIA.
IIELI3ourtNE, JAN. I.—Last night a statement was made,
that two men h-id arrive i from Gipps' Land with 10,0001. worth of
gold, and intelligence that there was a oid supply for the whole
world. It is impossible to get a pair of Boots made or mended in
Melbourne : nothing is thought of or talked about but gold."
" Another correspondent states that the price of a pair of Boots is
50s. ; a pair of strong Shoes, 20e." With such important informa-
tion before the emigrant, we need say fib iut the inconvenience
attendant on going out unP-ovided with a proper supply ot Gothing,
Boots, Shoes, Shirts, and Utensils, such as are inclu ed In the inimi-
table Outfits supplied by E. MOSES and SON. It is of the highest
importance that the Emigrant should be provided with an Outfit of
known suite Ality and specially adapted to the country he has chosen,
as well as the business it is his intention to pursue. This is the pro-
minent feature in E. MOSES and SON'S Outfits. They keep a
separate department in their gigantic estabishment for the Out-
fitting business. They have dispatched tnore business in that de-
partment than any house in the world , and they have concentrated
the knowledge and experience of many years : so that it is every
way calculated to prove the greatest advantage to all parties
emigrating. E. MOSES and SON. are in a position to supply any
number of Emigrants with every article they will require for the
passage and the country to which they may go. The very reason-
able charges for Outfits at E. MOSES and SON'S are mighty con-
siderations for Emigrants ; the quality of their goods is nowhere to
be equalled, and their complete suitability for any climate and occu-
pation is every way guaranteed.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-

THE KAFIR WAR.

(Prom the London Gazette of Tuesday, June 1.)
Downing-street, May 31, 1852.
The Right Hon._ Sir John Pakington has this day
received two dispatches- and their enclosures, of which
the following are -copies, addressed to the Right Hon.
Earl Grey by Lieutenant-General Sir _Henry G. W.
Smith, Bart, K.G.C.B.
No. 56.-.-Military.,
King William's Town, April 7, 1852.
y Lrird,—My dispatch to your Lordship, No. 47, of
the 17th ult., will have described the operations and
niovemerits of the troops under my command up to that
date. •

2. Shortly after its transmission, Lieut.-Colonel Per-
covet reported that,. in continuance of his operations he
had comphilely cleared the Fish ,River Bush of the
enemy, spoiling him of 350 bead of cattle, and many
mats and horses; capturing also several stand of arms,
and elaying,rnaay of his men. I - cannot too highly
ecommen4 the very able, judicious, and soldier-like con-
duct of Lieut.-Colonel Perceval in ihe performance of a
eirieiy arduous and difficult duty, which 'he effected by a
succession 'of -movements so well 'Combined that the ser-
orice was carried eta with-the hiss of only 011 Q man killed
sod hne wdemiled. ' The Lieut.-Colonel speaks in term*
•of •greal praise7of the conduct. of., Major .Armstrong of
`the Caps Me-unted: Rifles,
_and of - the troops and
burghers eniployed, the latter numbering about 35 from
the -district of-A.4mq. .. . • - .
3. The faellity with which, comparatively "speaking,
the Fish River-Bush has been cleared on this occasion,
may 'induce your Lordship to regard former operations
tie ill plinned. • I teraiyots,' thereforeLto,bear in mild
.that time Kafir-fought in tlitraVigirbiph in a very dif-
ferent spirit, and that the linnieroa* Hottentots, formerly
'in this stronghold, had disperied hefore the late opera-
. aioni. I regard_ Lieutenant-Colonel Perceval as an officer
'of "the highest. promise.. . . '
4.. The troops under Majors General Somerset, after
the enemy had been:dislodged from the Waterkloof and
Fuller's Hoeke pursued him through the Kat river,
ih evieg sent cavalry patrols into the passes of the Water-
kloot. The latter slew several of the 'fugitives, and
.captured 38 horses!' ,
e • '5. The cold-dies of Lientetiatit:-Colonel Michel and
LieutenanteColenel Eyre having joined me at the Blink-
water on tiiii 16th 'alt., I marched .on. the. 18th for the
valley of the Chuinie. on the hue of the enemy's retreat
into the Aenittolas. From that point, on the 21et ult.,
Lieutenani-Coloneis Michel and. Eyre were ordered to
penetrate the Inner' Amatolas,. while Lieutenant-Colonel
Perceval„ having: been directed to march upon Fort Cox
on the, completion, of his operations in the Fish River
Bush," entered-The mountains on that side. The instruc-
etona to theie -officers are annexed.
s • '6. 'Colonels Michel and Eyre carried on . four days'
,most.active operations, being joined on the third day by-
'Colobel Perceval; destroying the enemy's villages, es-
pecially.-those .of Heitentot rebels, in his most formida-
ble holds; Colonel Eyre acting on the arc of the circle
of which the. operations of Colonel Michel and Colonel

With the eiception of : three 'Kafirs whom I could see

and two Kefirs near the Bomah " Pais, there was net a

- 8. These operations having'been thus most effectually
and euergetioelly carried out, I moved my head-quarters
-on'the 25th aleeto Fort Cox, where I had assembled
the troops under Colonels. Michel, Eyre, cud Perceval,
on issuing the general instructions annexed. I
9. Having established Colonel Michel with his column
at Fort C-Ox, ecoupyieg Mount Macdonald, I, on' the fol-
lowing day, the-26thult, returned to heed quarters at
King- William's Town, moving at the same time the
commands of Colone*s Eyre • and Perceval for the pur-
pose of posting the former in the Keilkamma 'Hoek, and
the latter on' the 'range of the Quilti Quilli. Previously,
however, to their taking up their positions, I directed
COlonel Eyre, with Colonel Perceval, thoroughly to
penetrate and clear the great forest of Perk', the Buffalo
poorts, and Murray's Krantzeall great Tesorts of the
enemy. This service, alter two days' energetic and
'de-
termined operationsew as most effectually performed, up-
wards of 100 head of cattle and several horses having
been naptured, great numbers-of-villages burned in the
very forest, and large fields of cultivation destroyed on
Ilan verge f the woods. Scarcely any resistance was
offered tiy the enemy. Colonel Eyre describes these
forests as more dense and difficult to penetrate than
even those of Fuller's Hoek and the Blink,water. While
these Operations were in progrese, I detached Captain
moody, of the
.Reyal.Engineers, with a strong detach-
ment from King- Williams Towns to post himself be-
tween 'Murray's Krantz and the fade Berg, to intercept
fugitives driven before Colonel Eyre.
10. The 12th Lencers had previously marched.to oc-
cupy the Kabousie Neck. Major Tottenham, command-
ing the regiment during the 'temporary illness of Lieut.-
Colonel Pole, reporie that, on his march thither he
captured 78 head of 'cattle and a number of goats, all
being driven . towards the K-i; and that he observed
'ergo herds in. the distance rapidly moving in the same
direction, indicating a general ttek.
11. pa the evening of the 28th ult. I received infor-
mation corroborative of the above, on which I could rely,
that large herds of Gaika tattle, fl-sing from the Ama-
tole's, had
,been Collected at the junction of the Doors
and Thomas rivers with the KO, a country well adapted
for concealnierit and defence. I therefore immediately
sent orders to Colonel Eyre not to Occupy,. as originally
intended, the ifeiak.ikauna Hoek, but to detach Colonel
Perceval for thee purpose, and. moving his own column
to the Kebousie N-eck, to take with him the 12th Lan-
cers and make a rapid movement to seise. these Gaika
cattle; a set<viee -for which his enterprising character
well adapts hina.-I at -the same time detached froeeKing
William:Vs Town Captain Rebertson, of the' Iroyal Engi-
neers, in command of It' patrol of 259 -men:, to complete
the work Of devastation throUghout the Isele Berg, a
thickly wooded ride trending from .hurray's Krantz
eastward to
.Hangman's Beath and. lying between King
William's TOwn and the Kabousie. *- ;

ing completely traversed the' country pointed out in my
inetrnetionS: ,Ho reports it to beconapletely abandoned
'b'y the enemy. ' 'A few huts and some fields of ripe corn
were destroyed,. no cne having. been near to gather it,
arid aq spoor of cattle. was discovered. ' Colonel Eyre's
report reachgdme.on the sth inst. Having, according
to my direoticrvi, ,gained the.. Kabousie Neck, and been
joieed by the 12th .timicers, he made a rapid march on
the indicated pueition on the Kei, which- he reached at'
daybreak on the 31st ult. The enemy was completely
t +ken by, seripriserand Colonel Eyre coming on the fresh
spoor or Track of cattle, at once pursued it dawn the bed
of the Kei. By ifidther vigorous night march he came
up, on the mon:rink-of the Ist inert with the flying herds,
driven•uPop as insulated mountain. A, moat judicious
ittoieinent orthe troops in 'detached parties, so ably die-
. posedas to prevent escape..was immediately' made, and
after some opposition, 1,220 heed•of Grob, cattle, 15
'horses, and hundreds of goats? were captured. Colonel
'E ire had previously detached Major Armstrong with
100 cavalry to his left, to take possession of a diffi-
cult pass, , strongly occupied , by the . enemy,
mqunted and on e foot. , After completing this
"service, that officer, by a dexterous manceuvre, in
which he appeared to fly before the enemy, lured him
into some comparatively open ground, then, suddenly
turning, drove him back, with considerable less in killed,
charging himself-directly to the front with the 'detach-
ment of Cape Corps and Armstrong's Horse, while Cap-
tain Digby's troop of the 12th Lancers- fell upon the
right rear of the enemy. Major Armstrong subse-
quently captured 100 head of cattle; the total nuinber
taken during the-grand operations amounted to 1,391.
Colonel Eyre speaks in high terms of praise of Lieute-
neriteColonel Bkipwith, of the 43d Light Infantry;
