( From the Colonial Times.)

Intelligence concerning the Boors, or Emigrants, at the
Moddcn River and Port Natal, has been received this
week from a farmer named De Vos, who called at our
...fEee for the purpose of affording information, in order
that others may not be deluded. This Do Vos has just
returned from the camp at Modder River, and details the
following facts :—The camp contains about 400 families,
who are living in a miserable state, and for want of a head
are continua,ly quarrelling and disputing among them-
selves. Provisions are scarce, the cattle dying ; and he
assures us that many of the farmers would return into the

colony if they possessed the means of so doing. or if Go-
vernment would receive them. The camp over the Slink-
hoot Rant contains 600 boors, 400 were preparing for a
commando, in conjunction with Panda, against Dingaan.
At this camp it is impossible to feed sheep, so that most of
them and the cattle arc on this side of the Vaal River; in
fact this De Vos, whose heart appears to bleed for the suffer-
ings of his fellow-countrymen, gives a most woful descrip-
tion of the sufferings and privations of the emigrants, and
deeply do we regret the state of misery into which these
infituated and misled boors have plunged themselves.
In his Excellency's reply to the memorial from Stellen-
bosch, he states—" In regard to wages his Excellency be-
lieves that many a master cannot afford to meet the expec-
tations of the labourer, although his own interest must
show him the necessity of giving what he can afford. If
labourers were not hired with him on those terms it is
a misfortune, and cannot be remedied either by legis-
lative enactment or by Executive authority ; and of
this the memorialists must be fully sensible. The
rate of wages offered is, therefore, matter of little impor-
tance ; the memorialists say they are high, the labourers
may say the contrary, and whichever way the truth may
be the result would still be the same. The memorialists
have pointed to emigration as affording the only remedy
for disabilities under which they at present labour; and
his Excellency has the satisfaction to inform them that he
has joined the Council in strongly recommending that
the existing impediments in the way of emigration from
Europe may be removed. In regard to imported labour
from other quarters he is not prepared to say that the
checks put upon it are improper, although fully admitting
that many of the objections made to it, as regarding other
British Colonies, are not applicable to the Cape.

The Lisbon mail continues due, and is not expected this
week ; on her going out she met with some accident in
her machinery, and was obliged to put back to repair,

The Share Market is also in a buoyant state.
We do not bear of any improvement in the United
States Bank Shares, although the accounts received yes-
terday by the packet from New York were rather of a fa-
vourable nature respecting the ab,,ve Bank. The shares
may be quoted at 151, per share. The prevailing opinion
in the City is, that we shall not have a war with Ame-
rica in respect to the Maine Trestion, owing to her Trea.

In respect to the operations in the British Market dur-
ing the morning, we cannot quote a feature worth notice,
with the exception that the price of Consols continues
firm to the present hour. The approaching Budget,
and the needful which Ministers would require, either by
a loan or otherwise, as well as the new taxes, will
in a few days operate on the market. Ce ►scquently
the speculators and monied interest at present will not
enter into any extensive operations until the above mea-
sures of• Ministers are known, money being so plentiful
among the City capitalists that we have no doubt a loan
of 10 or 15 millions could be obtained with the greatest

We hear of a letter being in town from Rhodes, stating
that the Greeks wanted to sacrifice the Jews in the above
town ; that the Pacha ordered the Jews to remain in
their quarters, and that no harm should befal them. Whe-
ther the above is a fact we must wait a few days to ascertain.

We perceive from the Birmingham Journal, that
an attempt has been made in that town to effect some arrange-
ment which might put an end to the anomakus position in
which the borough has been placed through the opposition to the
Charter.

An explosion of fire damp took place on Tues-
day, in Shinzliffe Colliery, near Durham, and four men were
severely scorched.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday evening,
a vat or boiler in the brewery of Mr. Younger, South Back of
Canongate, burst, and two men and three boys, who were near,
were so severely burned, that they were carried instantly to the
Royal Infirmary, where, we regret to add, one of the boys died
on -Thursday forenoon. The others, it is hoped, will recover.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

Last night a burletta entitled " The House of Ladies,
and intended " to be chartered in 1845," was produced at
this theatre, and was prodigiously successful. It is
a sort
of sequel to the Ladies' Club, and follows up with ex-
ceeding wit and point the instructive satire conveyed
in that popular and elegant little comedy. We are.
given to understand in the play-bills, that the " idea
of the two pieces was suggested by the follow-
ing passage quoted from Boerbeave in his " Essay
for the Cure of Scolding."—" T would propose, therefore,
if I were a legislator, or if I had influence enough to set
a fashion, that the ladies should, in all respects, imitate
the societies of the men ; that they should We
their coffee-houses, their disputing societies, and eel
their Parliaments." Mark Leman having worked
out this idea with admirable taste, in his well-timed el?:
pljcation of the principle to the Ladies' Club, has pushedhe
a little further to the extravagant, by chartering for
Ladies of the Club a House of Parliament in the neigh"
bourbood of Westminster Hall,—the condition of
the
charter being that the members should not quarrel.

,g WHAT IS THE SPIRIT OF THE
AGE ?"—Vide Morning Post of yesterday.

And can'st thou really ask, Oh sage
And courtly Morning Post,
What is that " Spirit of the Age"
Which haunts you like a ghost ?

'Tis that experience born of grief,
And reared 'mid myriad woes,
That bids the People seek relief
From friends instead of foes.

That thwarts each partizan intent
Of ultra-Tory Peers,
And takes exactest measurement
Of Colonel Sibthorp's cars.

That laughs at Stanley's factious ire,
From Philpotts keeps aloof,
For, 10, beneath his Priest's attire
There lurks the cloven hoof !

That reads in Graham's frantic talk,
And Peel's more crafty vein
Of eloquence, a wish to walk
In Downing Halls again.

That tears the mask from Lyndhurst's face,
Proves Ashburton a quack,
And lays the lash—Oh, piteous case !
On Londonderry's back.

In short, 'tis that resistless will,
Which none can thwart or doubt,
That kerps the Whigs in office still,
And keeps the Tories out !
