CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

(IT ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH FROM SOUTHAMPTON.)
THE CAPE, Nov. 2.—The Legislative Council met
on the Ist. Sir Harry Smith, in his opening address,
observed that Earl Grey was pleased with the
flourishing state of the finances of the colony. He
regretted his Lordship had ordered a cessation of
emigration to the Cape. The Kafirs of the eastern
frontier were to be compensated for loss of territory.
The vagrant Fingoes were to he restrained from wan-
dering, and located. Engineers were expected to
decide on the breakwaters at Table Bay and Algoa
Bay. Roads and harbours are to be made and im-
proved. The treatment of prisoners was barbarous,
and is to be altered. The Hottentots are to be re-
lieved from missionary bondage. A Militia Bill is to
be introduced to relieve the colonists. Restrictions
on holding public meetings are to be removed, and
municipal laws amended. Sir Harry submitted a
supplementary estimate of 22,000/. The colony, he
said, was only chargeable with 10,0001. for putting
down the insurgent Boers. The Boers had been
heavily fined ; they had already paid 6,0001.

GOLD REGIONS OF CALIFORNIA !—An admirable
map has just been published by the ever-enter-
prising geographer, Mr. Wyld—giving a very clear
and legible representation of the Tom Tiddler's
ground of North America, where the gravel is gold-
dust and the clay streaked with quicksilver. The
localities in which the precious metal is being dis-
covered are marked with yellow streaks agreeably
significant. There are, for instance, the Feather River,
the American River, the Stanislaus River, the Pass
Creek, the River De la Merced, the River De los
Mukelemns, &c., &c. When almost everybody is
going stark mad about the golden bubble of the
United States, this excellent map will prove right
welcome.

THE ELECTION OF ALDERMAN FOR DOVIGATI
WARD.—This morning the Lord Mayor held a ward-
mote at the Tallow Chandlers' Hall, Dowgate-hill, for
the purpose of electing an Alderman in the place of John
Johnson, Esq., deceased. J. Calvert, Esq., proposed,
and J. C. Prior, Esq., seconded, the nomination of R. W.
Carden, Citizen and Cutler, of Royal Exchange-build-
ings, Cornhill, as a fit and proper person to be Alderman
of the ward. No opposition being offered, the Lord
Mayor declared Mr. Carden duly elected. Mr. Carden
then returned his thanks for the cordial and unanimous
support given him through his recent canvass. A vote
of thanks was then gives to the Lord Mayor, and the
wardmote broke up.
QUEEN ADELAIDE.—Some of the houses connected
with " King William's Naval Asylum" at Penge, near
Norwood, founded and endowed by Queen Adelaide,
being now completed, her Majesty has been graciously
pleased, through Lord Howe, to nominate to two of them
the widow of a commander of 36 years, who entered the
navy in 1773, and the widow of a master, who at his de-
mise held the office of master attendant at one of our
royal dockyards. Each widow will also be entitled (on
a certificate signed by a beneficed clergyman that they
are of sober life and conversation, and members of the
Church of England) to anr annuity of 301., payable half-
Tearly at Messrs. CORM

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather
duller, owing to the larger quantity offering. Sales
5,000 bales, including 3,500 bales of American at 31d.
to 51d. per lb.-The Railway Share Market was rather
dull.
Complaints are made of the statement of a morning
journal that the Mexican Mining Company's shares
were selling at ss. each, when in fact they rule at 34
to 44. This company had paid off its borrowed capital,
and divided since 1840 a sum equal to 10s. per share
per annum, a dividend of 7s. 6d. per share being now
advertised.
We find that there is some curiosity expressed to
learn the exact position of the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer in respect to his last loan. From appearances, it
is contended even to this date that the whole of the two
millions of stock has been sold in a way not to be brought
at any time into the weekly statement of the
Bank of England, and although it is impossible to giro
a confident opinion upon the subject, it may be fair to
presume that the money would be paid away as soon, or
almost as soon, as obtained, the deficiency in the in-
come for the year, ending 10th October, being over
1,700,000/.
The arrival of the ship Windsor from the Cape of
Good Hope puts us in possession of dates to Nov. 16.
The colony was quiet, and neither Kafirs nor Boers were
disposed to cause further disturbance. How long this
may continue it is not in our power to say, but appear-
ances are deemed highly favourable. The people of the
Cape are not at all disposed to encourage the introduc-
tion of convict servants, although they stand much
in need of hands, the labourers of the colony being
described as only half civilized, consisting principally of
Hottentots, and therefore peculiarly liable to contami-
nation. The inhabitants of the eastern province ap-
peared to desire a governor and council fir themselves,
but not a separation from the older colony.
There is a further rise in the duty upon foreign
Wheat, the amount now being 10s. per quarter.
Some account of the present state of the iron trade,
with a glance at its past condition, is given in a state-
ment furnished to us by Mr. William Short:-
Iron.-The year openediwith a considerable demand
for English iron of all descriptions, and with every
reason to expect a continuation thereof ; but the dis-
astrous effects of the French Revolution de-
stroyed these anticipations, and brought business
to a pause. The price of bars, which was
71. per ton, free on board, in Wales, in January,
remained nominally at that figure until May, when the
price was called at 61. ss. to 61. 10s.; in June business
was done at 51. 15s. per ton, but with a comparatively
small amount of business, the price gradually
declined therefrom, touching its lowest point in
the beginning of December, when some parcels were
sold so low as 4L 10s. and 41. 12s. 6d. per ton.
Since then the demand for this article has much in-
creased; a considerable business has been done at 5/.
and 51. ss. per ton, and with the improved prospects of
the general trade of the country, ironmasters are now
firm at N. ss. per ton."
The accounts received to-day from Wolverhampton
respecting the orders for iron received by the trade, are
very satisfactory, and promise good employment.
Mr. Carden, the stock-broker, has been elected
Alderman.
The Stock Market is exceedimgly quiet, but firm.
Consols realised 89} 8. New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. are 891 to 90. Bank Steck is 190 to 191. Ex-
chequer-bills (June) are 435. to 465. premium. Neither

portance.

1.14 L ATTORNEY-GENERAL v. THE EARL OF STANFORD.—
JUDGMENT.
Ills HONOUR gave judgment this morning in this case,
,Which was argued before him for several days in Decem-
ber last. Our readers will recollect, from the statements
we gave on the hearing of the case, that the cause came
before the Court upon an information filed by the Atter-
ad-master
DbY-General, at the relation of several inhabitants
of the
town of Manchester, against the trustees,
manch
s:
and usher of the " Free Grammar School he
of e •
-
ter," praying for an account and a reference to the Mas
ter of the Court, to settle a scheme for the future ma-
nagement of the charity, having regard to the alteration
which had taken place in the circumstances of the town
since the foundation of the school; for the appointment
of new trustees in the stead of those now made de-
fendants, on the ground that they were not qualified
under the terms of the deed creating the charity.
The charity was founded by Hugh Oldham, Bishop
of Exeter, and the deed bore date in the 16th year
of Henry VIII., the Lord Bishop having, at his
own cost and charge, built within the town of
Manchester a house adjoining to the College of Man.
Chester for a free school, there to be kept for ever, and
to be called " The Manchester School." He had also,
at his own expense, purchased other premises, which he
had conveyed, together with the said school-house, to
Hugh Bexwycke and Joan Bexwycke and their heirs,
" to be disposed and converted to and for the continu-
ance of the teaching and learning to be had and taught
in the same school." It was witnessed also that Hugh
and Joan Bexwycke granted the saidpremises and others
described, " to twelve persons therein named, and their
heirs for ever, to the use and intent that they should per-
form, fulfil, and observe all the acts, ordinances, provi-
aastens, and constitutions contained in the schedule thereto
nent nexed." The schedule then provided for the appoint-
andM payment of a high master and usher, who
should teach freely and indifferently every child and
scholar coming to the school, without any money or other
reward except only their stipends, 101. for the high
Master, and 51. a year for the usher. It was next pro-
l'ided, that after the surplus revenue of the charity had
eureulated to 20L, the annual surplus was to be given
Let the etiibition of scholars yearly at Oxford and Cam•
bridge, who had been taught
scholar should have in the 2 school, so that no
yearly above 6s. 52d. It was also
Provided that future vacancies in the number of the
trustees should be filled up " from among honest gentle-
lneu and honest persons of the parish of Manchester."
In the course of time, the revenues of the charity having
greatly increased, the salaries of the masters were raised;
twelve exhibitions of 60/. each were instituted, and the
remaining surplus was invested and accumulated from
ti to time. In 1832, these accumulations, amounn
one hundred and twenty-nine thousand pountidsg M the Three per Cents., an order was obtained on
tetition under Sir Samuel Romilly's Act, the 52d, Geo.
IL, chap. 101, for a reference to the master to settle
a scheme for the future management of the charity.
The masters had been permitted for many years to take
boarders, and the respective salaries of high master,
Usher, and two assistants, had been increased to 5001.,
,21,50/., 170/., and 1351., the number of scholars being 200.
, he income of the charity had increased to 4,500/., leav-
-I..ng a surplus of 2,8001., after all expenses. The Master's
Scheme!V provided for certain extra tuition, and the sum
;',0,0 was set apart for rebuilding the high master's
~ou!e, and other improvements, all out of the surplus
km...". The system of boarders was also sanctioned, and
boys from six to twenty years of age were made eligible
remain at the school. The masters' salaries were
k_au increased, the exhibitions were continued, and the
tu!erders as free scholars were allowed to participate in
impugnu ra• In 1835 the information was filed, seeking to
i',,. the scheme of the master as above stated, on
.:ettground that the Attorney-General was no party to
t''.. and that the trustees not being residents in Manches-
trb wereal ineligible to fill the office. The informa-
w° so objected to the manner in which the school
