MARKET NEWS--(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

A very moderate supply of English wheat was on offer
in to-day's market. For all kinds, the demand was by no
means active, but no change took place in the quota-
tions.

Foreign wheat, the imports of which have amounted to
7,680 quarters moved off slowly, at Monday's advance.
Floating cargoes were very firm.
We had a moderate inquiry for barley, at full cur-
rencies.

Malt sold steadily, on former terms.
Wo had a good sale for oats, at extreme quotations.
Beans, peas, and flour were firm, and quite as dear of
on Monday.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

The Commercial Advertiser contains the sub-
joined monthly summary of news from the Cape
Colony :

" Since the sailing of the last monthly steamer the
aspect of affairs beyond the colonial border has been
gradually becoming more clouded and unsatisfactory.
The orders understood to have been issued for the with-
drawal from the colony of four whole regiments, the
74th, the 12th, the 43d, and the 12th Lancers, have re-
awakened feelings of insecurity among the inhabitants
of the eastern districts, while in the northern the arrival
of Sir George Clerk, with instructions to prepare for the
entire withdrawal of British authority from the Orange
River Sovereignty, has excited general dissatisfaction
and alarm.

" The tribes recently subdued, have not, indeed, ma-
nifested any directly hostile spirit, but it is known that
the chiefs are discontented. About three weeks since,
at a meeting which his Excellency held with them,
Macomo, on behalf of the other chiefs, declared that the
land given them was too small. 'lt was all stones ;
they could not till it, and there was no bush for fire-
wood. They wanted the Amatolas.' This General
Cathcart decidedly refused, giving them to understand
that their possession of that locality would certainly
involve another war, and the Kafirs, it is stated, 'left
the meeting not at all satisfied with the result.' These
Amatolas, the Gibraltar of Kafirland, are at present
held in military occupation by a portion of the troops
now about to be removed.

"The nature of the arrangements likely to be made
in the sovereignty on the withdrawal of British authority
have not yet been decided on. A meeting of delegates
took place at Bloem Fontein on the sth inst., at which
the subject was discussed. The general feeling, how-
ever, appears to be strongly opposed to any separation,
and both from the sovereignty and the colony the pre-
sent steamer will carry home urgent petitions praying
her Majesty's Government to pause and take this im-
portant matter again into consideration. In the mean-
time Sir George Clerk appears to have personally given
satisfaction to the Sovereignty people by his candour
and evident willingness to consult their interests as far
as possible in carrying out the object of his instructions.
"The Basuto tribes, under Moshesh, who were so
roughly handled by General Cathcart at Berea, have
not lately been complained of by the Sovereignty settlers,
and, generally, it may be stated that all that part of the
country is in a state of peace.
"The introduction, within the last few years, of large
numbers of fine-wooled sheep—for which the natural
grasses of that region are pre-eminently suitable—is
rapidly diffusing wealth among the farmers of the
Sovereignty, and, at the same time, renders them
less liable to depredations at the hands of their
uncivilised neighbours, sheep being much less con-
venient for lifting' than cattle, and little esteemed
RS property by the natives. In the course of years
there can be no doubt that the Orange River
Sovereignty will be filled with a rich and prosperous
community, perfectly capable of managing their own
internal affairs, and likely to be prepared to do so in a
manner reciprocally advantageous to themselves and to
the eolony. But at this particular time a sudden change
of the kind might prove inconceivably injurious, not only
to them, but to the native tribes in their neighbourhood.
" In a reply which Sir George Cathcart lately made
to an address made to him by the inhabitants of King
William's Town in 'British Kafraria,' an intimation
was given to them that British authority may also pro-
bably be withdrawn from that territory ; and upon thi
subject, likewise, petitions deprecating such a measure
will be sent to the Home Government by this steamer.
" The search for gold and for coal in this part of
South Africa has hitherto been entirely unsuccessful.
For the former, a reward of 1,0001. has been offered by
an association formed for the purpose ; and parties, it
is understood, are still 'prospecting' in various quar-
ters.

"A disease of a fatal nature has made its appearance
among he horned cattle, great numbers of which have
died in the adjacent districts, some extensive farmers
being likely to lose their entire stock. It is named in
our vernacular the`long ziekte,' and is said to have
been introduced by imported cattle from Holland.
" His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor has been so
seriously indisposed as to be unable either to preside at
the recent meeting of Council, or to take part, as was
intended, in the ceremonial of •pening Daia'e•para.".
