HALT-PAST ONE.
From the Cape of Good Hope Papers received this morn-
ing :—" Grarff Reinet, Aug. 24—Letters have been received
here from the emigrants at Nita!, of as late a date as the 10th
of this month, brought by one of their own people : they are
still enjoying perfect tranquillity; they have had no other en-
counter with Dingaan's people, or any other tribe, since the
affair under Uys. They have sent out frequent strong patroles into
Dingaan's territory, the last of which penetrated as far as within
a day's journey of the Chief's residence. The whole country was
found deserted. The farmers have separated into smaller divisions,
to have more space for their cattle ; thus scattered they have
so strongly fortified their camp that they are not afraid of an
attack. Forty men are at Port Natal, building fences and
fortifications. It is further stated that a report was long since
current, that Dingman had, since the affair with Uys, sustained
a defeat, in which helast about two thousand men.
We have no further arrivals to the present hour.

ing to the scarcity of good hands.—Porstmouth Herald.

On Friday morning a man named William Dillon,
in the employ of Mr. Geary, butcher, Carnaby Market,
was standing on a pair of high steps, scouring the shop,
when he suddenly slipped, and in falling his left hand
caught a rusty iron hook, which passed completely through
the wrist, lacerating it in a frightful manner. At first it
was considered that amputation would be necessary ; but
although such was not the case, he will be unable for ever
to use his hand, the injury being of so serious a nature.
The Earl and Countess of Lichfield will entertain a

On Friday last, Mr. Jones, gamekeeper of
Roach, Esq., of Butterhill, in the county of Pembroke.
killed a hare which had but one ear ; in the place where
the left car should have been, there was only to be felt a
small lump, something like a shot, under the skin. Whe-
ther poor puss had lost this organ by accident, or owed the
defect to a freak of dame nature, we canot say, as we were
not present at her dissection, but she certainly had a very
odd appearance.-IVeNman.

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

RANGER V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

The LORD CnaNcELLott gave judgment to-day in this case,
which was argued before his Lordship during the long vaca-
tion. The case came before the Court upon two demurrers
filed by the defendants to the plaintiff's bill, on the ground of
multifariousness, and for a general want of equity. The
plaintiff, it appeared, had entered into contracts for part of
the work on the Great Western Railway, subject to cer-
tain conditions and penalties. The defendants objected to
the course pursued by the plaintiff, nn the ground that it was
inconsistent with his contracts; and in order to prevent him
proceeding with the works in a manner which it was alleged
was inconsistent with the interests of the Company, they had
taken possession of the working implements of the plain-
tiff. Upon this being done, Mr. Ranger filed his
bill for an injunction. In that bill the defendants put
in two demurrers—one for multifariousness, and the other for
a general want of equity. Upon those demurrers coming on
for argument before the Vice- Chancellor, his Honour ordered
them to be over-ruled, and from that decision the case came
before the Court by way of appeal.
His LORDSHIP, after shortly going through the facts of the
case, stated his opinion to be that neither of the demurrers
could be supported, and ordered them to be over-ruled, thereby
supporting the decision of the Court below.

FRASER V. PEPPARD.
The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case,
which came before his Lordship for the purpose of discharging
two orders made by the Master of the Rolls and Vice-Chan-
cellor, by which a solicitor was ordered to deliver in his bill,
for the purpose of having it taxed. His Lordship was clearly
of opinion the orders of the Court below were correct, and
dismissed the motion with costs.
