A Proclamation has been issued there cautioning all
strangers arriving at that colony making a temporary re-
sidence, that only one year shall be granted to them, after
the expiration of which they must renew the permission.
Graham's Town Journals have been received to the 3d
January, bywhich it appears that some misunderstanding had
taken place between the Caffres and Fingoes in the neigh-
bourhood of Fort Peddie, and the latter were threatened
with an attack, in consequence of which an express was sent
to the head-quarters; on receiving the information the
Lieutenant-Governer ordered a supply of ammunition, and
a r einforcement of fifty men to Fort Peddie, which had the
desired effect, and all fear of hostile measures had sub-
sided.

The accounts from Caffreland were very satisfactory.
Civilization was progressing. Wheat has suffered greatly
from the rains, but what will be lost on that head will be
gained in Indian Corn, the crops of which were abundant.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—This morn
ing, at an early hour, Mr. Brunel, and other gentlemen con-
nected with the Great Western Railroad, made a final experi-
mental trial from Twyford to Reading, with heavy trains, for
the purpose of trying the solidity of the new road, which is now
completed, and will be publicly opened on Monday morning
next. The railroad was found to be in most excellent order,
and proved perfectly satisfactory to those gentlemen connected
with it.
