" During the contest a large number of the bravest
frontier colonists have fallen, and a much larger number
have been ruined and greatly dishear lend.
" The boundaries of the colony have been considerably
extended, and many inhabitants of the older frontier dis-
tricts are moving into the new territory, still further
weakening the old frontier.
" The Kafirs have suffered loss in men, and cattle, and
territory; but to people in their condition such losses often
give union and strength. The loss of independence and of
native land is not forgotten or forgiven. They err who
suppose that in this respect the black man differs from the
white. The justice or injustice of the conquest or expa-
triation are out of the case. Justice, policy, necessity,
may relieve the conscience of the conqueror, but resent-
ment glows for ages in the heart of the vanquished. It is
a sentiment universal as the sun, and whatever border
system the British Government may adopt, founded on
the military occupation of Kafraria, they must keep this
law of nature in view, and make pros.sion on this as a fact
that the vanquished and expatriated Kafirs hate them in
their hearts.

They improve in adroitness and daring with every war,
with every action. Every slice cut from their territory
confirms and inflames their hostility.
" The Governor has all this and more clearly before his
eyes, and will make it plain enough in his dispatches.
it is not known whether any remedy has suggested its&
to his mind, or whether he has yet discovered the root of
the evil. In many dispatches from different Secretaries of
State the too great and too hasty extension of the colony
is emphatically condemned ; and recently Earl Grey sug-
gested a question, whether the loss of land might not be
one cause at least of native hostility. In the case of
Moshesh, General Cathcart saw clearly that to deprive the
Basutos of their land was to kindle a war not soon to be
A. extinguished.

lie down and die, or betake themselves to plunder. They
have none of the thousand and one arts by which civilised
nations make up for loss of land or scanty territory. Land
is their life.
" There is another' thing that will probably strike the
Governor's mind, namely, that in all barbarous tribes there
is a strong love of independence. They don't readily sub-
mit to foreign rule. As far as can be judged, the Govern-
ment of Kafirland, under Colonel Mackinnon, was more
just, equitable, and beneficial to the people than the Go-
vernment of their native chiefs. Many, if not all of them,
were ready to admit this, and were probably convinced of
it. But events demonstrated that men even in a state of
barbarism are not wholly governed by self-int3rest. With
death and destruction before their eyes, they cling to their
chiefs, and have for two long years exhibited an example
of fidelity never surpissed in any age or nation. This may
be lamented or condemned, but it cannot be denied, and it
would be a fatal error in the British Government to over-
look it when constructing their future relations with such
tribes. _

SOUTHAMPTON PACKETS.—SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 16.
—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship
Madrid, Captain Weeks, with the Peninsular mails, left
at half-past two. She took out a small quantity of
specie, and about twenty passengers, among whom were
Sir E. Hutchinson and Lady Hutchinson. The Penin-
sular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Tagus, with
the homeward Peninsular mails, is expected about the
24th instant. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's
screw steam-ship Bengal, is expected about the 19th
instant. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Ripon will leave for Malta and Alexandria on the
20th instant, and the City of London, chartered ship, for
Malta and Constantinople, on the 20th. The Royal
Mail Steam Packet Company's steam-ship Magdalena,
Captain C. M. Chapman, with the usual West India
mails, left this day at half-past two. She took out forty-
nine passengers, a full general cargo, and specie to the
amount of 10,00(". The Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company's ship 22,-ana, Captain C. Woolley, is hourly
expected with the homeward West India mails.
THE LATE ROBBERY AT MESSRS. OLLIVANT'S AT MAN-
CHESTER.—At the Manchester borough court, on Thurs-
day, Maxwell, the young man who was apprehended
last week with the whole of the proceeds of the robbery
at Messrs. 011ivant's silversmith, in his possession, was
re-examined before Mr. Maude, and finally committed
for trial at the assizeF. The evidence given did not
carry the case fur her than it did last week, and the only
fact of interest, added to those already given is, that a
pair of bags had been found in one of the trunks seized
at the house in which he was taken, evidently made to
sling at the man's sides by means of a strap thrown
across the shoulders. They would readily contain the
property he took away, which weighed about two stones.
No one else is at present implicated.
SHOCKING CASE OF MATRICIDE IN DURHAM. Mr.
Trotter, coroner, held an inquest at a place named But-
terwick, in the western part of this county, on the 15th
on the body of an old woman, aged 90, wife of Abraham
Sewell, who was cruelly murdered by her son, Abraham,
40 years of age, on the morning of the previous day.
It appears that the old people lived in a cottage in the
hamlet, and that their son, who is a married man, hut

SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—For several days past
the greatest activity has prevailed at the Waterloo ter-
minus of the London and South-Western Railway, the
directors having given orders for the erection of a new
station instead of the unsightly and inconvenient place
hitherto devoted for the accommodation of the public.

A NOVEL MOUSETRAP.—On Saturday last a person
named Jerome, in St. Martin's, Haverfordwest, pur-
chased a small quantity of oysters, which he placed in a
back room. In the course of a quarter of an hour he
went into the apartment, and there discovered that two
mice had actually been caught by one oyster, and their
heads broken by the shells when attempting to purloin
the fish. Carmarthen Journal.

Site,—Allow me to forward for the benefit of your
readers, the probable cause of the accidents which have
taken place lately on two of the principal railway lines in
this country. I enclose the mathematical calculation ;
and for the benefit of your non-algebraic readers the fol-
lowing explanation :—lf the velocity of any body be infi-
nite, it will describe a circle moving hotizontally en an
even plane, but as the speed is decreased the body gradu-
ally recovers its perpendicular ; it is therefore impossible
for a goods train to go round a curve with the same in-
clination as an Express. The permanent way being
necessarily the same for all trains, an express train %ill
very possibly go over the upper rail, and thereby cause
the accidents which the railway officials and the public
in general are unable to account for.
Let AB be parallel to the axles through the centre of
gravity, and the inclination of the vertical to AB.
CD a section of the rails by a vertical plane through
AB, CB, DA =to the flat surface of the rails. Sup-
posing no tendency to upset endwise, the reactions of
the rail on the two wheels on one side perpendicular to
the flat surface will be equivalent to single force RI, in
CB, and the similar reactions on the other two Wheels to
a single force T. in DA. There will also be a pressure
2
of the flange of the wheels against the inner side of the
outer rril, and consequently a reaction on the wheels
parallel to the plane of the rails. Ey those forces the
carriage is constantly turned in the plane parallel to the
rails, so as to make it follow the curve of the rails. The
single force, therefore, which is equivalent to these
would act parallel to these would act parallel to DC, at
some point a little in advance of D, but as far as the
effect of upsetting the carriage sideways is concerned, it
may be supposed to act at D : let it be Q.
