Of. that sort of fume which alOne he seems
qualified to relish, the Noble. Governor of our
Colony at the Cape of Good Hope is likely, we
suspect, to reap a very plentiful harvest. Some
nun-fliers of the Newspaper edited under his
Lordship's auspices, and published, in September
last, are now before us ;- and amen: those of
their contents which bear the sanction of Lord
Charles Somerset, are two articles characteristic
enough of the spirit of his Excellency's Admi-
nistration. One is a manifesto, offeringa reward,
of 500 rix-dollars for the apprehension of Ed-
wards, whoie case has been frequently before
our readers, and who had been so wicked as to
run aViity from his gaolers when they were carrying
trim off to be transported. Because he strove to
hide himself, and escape the effect,of this most
lenient and salutary judgment, the above reward
was offered by the Noble Governor for his re-
capture ; and, as we learn from the words of the
proclamation itself, extraordinary method's were
employed to have it promulgated through every
part of the Hottentot world. Poor Edwards was
in fact re-taken. His attempt afterwards to de-
stroy himself in consequence of the determination
Of the Governor to carry the sentence into effect,
lias.been already mentioned. The second article
in these papers to which we shall refer is, a Go-
vernment advertisement, specifying certain lots of
property—to wit, old building materials for sale,
and directing application for particulars to be
made—to wrwm, Oh, reader ? Why, to the Cro.,
Vernirient Inspector, one Mr. Wm: Jones. And
who may this Mr. Wm. Jones have been, when
bearing his proper appellation ? No other
than a Mr. Oliver, who had exercised a different
'pecies of inspection tinder his Majesty's Govern-
ment In this country—being, indeed, the famous
Oliver the Spy I For this delectiblo protege of
the Lord Charles, it is reported to us that two or
three places have beeti actually created, and one
of the places bearing close alliance to the inquisi-
torial nature of his first profession; for by it he
is enabled to prevent the slightest alteration or
iMprovement on the premises of any of his Ma-
jesty's subjects in Sooth. Africa, nay, the driving
of a single nail into the Wall--until he shall think
proper to sanction such important, perhaps den-
gerOus, undertakings ; that i 9, until he shall
have exacted his surveyor's fee. Verily Lord
Charles is a monstrous good Governor, and Mr.
Oliver is, to his Excellency, a mighty Suitable
subject.

[MORNING POST.]
It seems that Prince Holumlobe, considering
the 'Old World too circumscribed a field for the
exhibition of his miracles, has laid America also
under contribution to his holy fame. A Priest of
the Germanized name of Koh!man, who dates
his letter from some College in the United States,
has furnished the Jesuits at Stoneyhurst with
curious and comical history of a supernatural
cure wrought on the body of a Mrs. Mattingly,
sister of the Mayor of Washington, through the
agency of his Serene ilighness of Bambergh ',—
With the disgusting details we shall not offend
Our readers. Suttee it to say, that just after
the manner of the virgins restored to health
in Ireland some eighteen months back, Mrs.
Mattingly one morning offered up prayers
in the capital of the United States exactly at the
moment Prince Alexander offered up Mass in
Germany, and immediately leapt out of bed, not
only perfectly well, but quite angelic ! The other
wonders too which she performed are in them-
selves so much beyond the regular course of
nature, that she would appear to have obtain-
ed the faculty of working miracles herself, by
having been the subject of one. Be this as it
may, we admire and applaud Prince Hohen.
lobe for extending the sphere and changing
the scene of his exploits as he has done. The
Poet says, " 'Tis distance lends enchantment
to the view ;" and the intervention of several
thousand miles of ocean between Mrs. Mattingly
and Europe involves her "cure" in a beautiful
baffling mysteriousness for all those who have so
little common sense as to require evidence re-
specting a piece of manifest fanaticism. Ireland,
sunk as it is in the Roguish superstition, was much
mere accessible a place for exposing anti putting
down. the Bambergh impositions, than suited the
purposes of the Popish Clergy. Few things, in-
deed, have occurred for a long period, that re-
flects higher honour upon the state of the Pro-
testant mind in the sister country, than the
complete, and, we trust, final suppression of
Hohenlohism, which the Irish Protestants ef-
fected in the very teeth of Priests and mobs
united. By fair argument and sound reason they
sdecessfully crushed the delusion in the bud.—
The Romish Clergy of Ireland have been awn.-
lately shamed into an abandonment of one of the
greatest sources of power and wealth that ever
opened on their sight, and on which they had
ravenously seized the moment it broke upon them,
by the ability and zeal with which the Protestants
unmasked the imposture. Why else has there
been no aftermath of miracles in the Island of
Saints and Sinners ? Are there no more paralytic
cripples in Ireland, or did Prince Hohenlohe ex-
pend all his miraculous virtue on the Ranelagh
%lUn and her two bed-ridden' associates 1—
We care not on which alternative the Popish
Prints choose to repose—for we feel convinced,
if they dare have adventured upon further cures,
that neither Irish patients nor Bambergh pre-
siimption would be found wanting. The resur
rection of the scheme in the city of Washington
is truly a lame trick, and its adoption by the
Jesuits of Stoneyhurst still lamer. What failed
in Ireland cannot prosper here, and the sooner
the Roman Catholics of England return to their i
former cautions policy, the better for themselves
and their brethren elsewbeee.
