SOIREE or THE WHITTINGTON CLUB.—The foun-
dation of the Whittington Club was celebrated on Wednesday,
by a gathering of the members and their friends, at the
London Tavern. The room was so full that many could
not gain admission. The chair was occupied by bouglas
Jerrold, Esq., the president and founder of the club, round
wham were congregated on the platform a large number
of distinguished individuals, including ladies. Mr. Jerrold
opened the proceedings in a pithy address, which was
received with enthusiasm. He adverted to the intellectual
progress of the people, which an institution like the
and dwelt especially on the
present would encourage ;
necessity for union of purpose in carrying out its objects.
Ile then described the objects of the club, and the advan-
tage which would be enjoyed by its members in reading,
conversation, Ise. Mr. Jerrold concluded by prophesying
the highest and most beneficial results from the institution,
both in our own, and in times to come.—Addresses were
then delivered by Dr. Mullinger, Mr. Dawson, Dr. Bowring,
and other gentlemen, the entertainment being further sup-
ported by distinguished vocalists, among whom were Miss
Raiuforth, Miss Bas.sano, Miss Messent, and Mr. Wetherbee.
A new song, ..written and composed for the occasion, was
warmly applauded..--Mr. William Howitt proposed a vote of
thanks to the chairman, which WAS seconded by Mr Nash.—
Mr. Jerrold briefly returned thanks ; after which a large pro-
portion of the party dispersed, the remainder staying to par-
of which dancing was the grin-
, cipal feature.

(From the Frontier Times.)
From Colonel Somerset's camp we have news up to yes-
terday, on which day Urania arrived with some of his fol-
lowers. Of the object of his visit we arc not informed. A
convoy of mule and horse waggons with supplies reached
town, with a number of loose mules for frontier service.
Cape mail arrived this afternoon. We have information from
Upper Kafir Drift to the 28th inst. We learn that Field
Captain H. Bowker has had many night patroles out lately.
Two parties of Kafirs had been seen at a distance, and also
the spoor of three other partici, all returning to Safirland.
No spoor of Kafirs had been seen entering the colony since
Mr. Bowker's arrival. The old walls of the post had been
built up, and all the men had been comfortably hutted.
We are sorry, but not surprised, to learn that Sir A.
Stockenstrom has resigned his appointment of Commandant
General of the Burgher Forces. The Brilliant arrived at
Port Elizabeth on Thursday last, haring on board for Go-
vernment 40,0001. and stores.
