Carter,
the death of James Phcleys, aged 49. Charlotte
Pheleys, of 22, Wright's-buildings, Bermondsey, deposed
that on Wednesday last the death took place. On that
day eight weeks he went to work in the yard of Mr.
Newman, the scavenger, at Dockkead. She was there
at the time, and a boy came and told the deceased that
he could not empty her baskets of dust because the
boar pig in the yard attacked them. The deceased
went and threw a broomstick at the boar, and while he
was picking it up again the beast rushed at. him and
gored him with his tusks in the thighs. Assistance was
called for and he was released and taken to St. Thomas's
Hospital, bleeding very much from the wounds. He
remained there for some time, but at last said he would
go home, although she advised him to the contrary. He
went to work the next day, but could no nothing, nor on
the following, when he appeared so ill that a surgeon
was called in. Mr. Marten, a surgeon, said that he found
a severe wound at the back of the right thigh ; one on
the other leg had bceen cured. There was er)s•palous
inflammation, and inflammation of the lungs. The de-
ceased told him he had lost a great deal of blood from
the wounds, arid the exhaustion consequent on it,
together with the inflammation of the lungs, perhaps
caused by exposure to cold in the yard, prAtlce:i his
death, the injury, in the first instance, le mine: to th,,
results. The jury returned a verdict in accerdince with
the medical evidence, after censuring the t.arelessness of
the owner of the boar, in allowing it to roam about the
yard, especially as t was stated to have previously at-
tacked and njured another person.

OPENING

OF THE

FRENCH C HAMBERS.

THE KING'S SPEECH.
The following is a translation of a copy of the
Speech by which his Majesty King Louis Philippe
yesterday opened the Chambers:

" Gentlemen, Peers, and Deputies—
" In summoning you to resume the labours of the
session, my first wish is that you should afford my
Government all your co-operation, in order to relieve
the sutforings which this year distress a part of our
population. I have hastened to order the measures
best calculated to attain that object. I trust, that bf
the firm maintenance of order, by the liberty liPai
security of commercial transactions, by an ample sou
judicious application of the public resources efficientii
aiding the zeal of private charity, we shall mitie
these trials with which Providence sometimes visits
the most prosperous states.
" My relations with all the foreign Powers afford
me the firmest confidence that the peace of the world
continues secure.

" The marriage of my beloved son, the Duke tie,
Montpensier, with my beloved niece the Infanta 0..
Spain, Louisa Fernanda, has completed the satisfec'
tion and consolation which Providence has vouch'
safed me in my family. This union will be a freslis,
pledge of those good and intimate relations which
have so long subsisted between France and Spaith
and the maintenance of which is as desirable for tb°,
prosperity as for the reciprocal security of the 00.
States.

" I have reason to hope that the affairs of De
Plata will, before long, be adjusted conformably to
the views adopted by my Government, in concert'
with that of the Queen of Great Britain, for the re
establishment of the security of our commercial re'
lations in those countries.

"I have concluded with the Empt:ror of Russia 15
treaty of navigation, which guarantees to us, by
just reciprocity in our maritime relations with that
empire, advantages which it was important to us to
preserve.
"An unexpected event has impaired the state of
affairs founded in Europe by the last treaty of
Vienna. The republic of Cracow, an independePt
and neutral state, has been incorporated with the
empire of Austria. I have protested against this
fraction of the treaties.

"At home the constant progress of the plibli°
revenue, despite of causes which might We
checked it, demonstrate that the activity and re'
sources of the country continue to increase. The
finance laws, and various other laws, relative to 1111:
portant improvements in the legislation and adoll'
nistration of the kingdom, will be submitted to your
deliberation.

" The great public works which we have under'
taken shall be completed with the perseverance which'
the interests of the country command, and with t 1
prudence indispensable to the maintenance of public
credit.

" You will also have to direct your attention t°
measures calculated to second in our African posses:
sion the progress of colonisation and its internal
prosperity. Tranquillity, so happily restored
Algeria by the valour and devotedness of our army"
permits us to examine maturely that important quasi
tion, respecting which a special Bill shall be presents*
to you.

" Gentlemen,—A common feeling animates lig'
You are all, like me and my family, devoted to the
happiness and grandeur of our country ; and alreefif
long experience has enlightened us as to the poliel
best suited to her interests, both moral and mater''
and which must secure its present prosperity and the
future pacific and regular development of its des'
tinies. I expect with confidence, from your patrioti‘ol
and wisdom, the co-operation necessary to the ac:
complishment of this great task. Let us assist eac°
other in supporting the burden, and France will res?
the fruit of our efforts."

THE WAR IN KAFIRLAND.
Papers have reached us from the Cape, containinglil:
telligence a week later than that which we last I°b •
lished. Toe following are extracts:—
" The intelligence from the frontier by the last P°s'
though of a somewhat vague nature, is calculated
_""
create some doubt respecting the policy to
,be ador'i
towards the Kafirs, the majority of whose chiefs, it 10.
said, are about to submit themselves. Some assert tbel
this submission will be unconditional, whilst others maw,
taro that. they entirely object to the evacuation of toe
country and their removal beyond the Kei.
" We have ever urged the necessity of insisting ?v8
the very letter of the terms dictated to the hostile chiefs;
and of emphatically enforcing them, even by force 1
arms, if required. The colonists have an undouht
right to expect this; and we, therefore, regret that to'
nature of the accounts received again appears to eonfitr,
the suspicion that the negotiations carried on with they
are stripped of that seriousness which ought to be the
main feature.
" Whilst we find the Chief Stock snugly quartered
the Beka, Macomo and Botman are said to have outs
witted Colonel Johnstone, the Governor's depute, afl
extorted a promise from him, that if they would 11?
down their arms they should be located in the vicinq
of Block Drift.' To prove his sincerity, the Chle
Stock sent in 48 head of cattle, 6 horses, and 8 gunS.l
addition to those sent in on his surrender; Maeomo
Botinan, to prove theirs, brought in about 80 horses
some 20 stand of arms, stating that Sandilla was St
desirous to follow their good example. Mapassa,
Tam bookie Chief, after being wounded, sent a messsra
to the Governor, that having no more cattle, he ea
hold out no long,r, and was ready to submit; and 11°.:
terara, 'the great Tambookie Chief, had sent in, or wr,
about to send in, 500 head of cattle, as a present to the
Governor.'

"Now, all this looks very fine, and the ' dear children
of ntture' would appear very sincere in their profeS:
sions; but we should ever be mindful, in such cases, thsl'
it is not all gold that glitters;' and hence we are
duced to examine on what foundation their profession(
rest, and to have a glance at the other side of the
picture. What do we find? First of all, that Stock";
the sincere, the humble, the innocent Stock—who dealt'
at first all participation in the plunder of the colon(:
and consequently imposed on the credulity of the Ge:
vernor, nue; turns out to have been a despoiler of ode:
note, and to be entitled to all the glory of the defeat
our forces sustained at Trompetters, some of the oxil
sent in by him having b en recognised as those which
had been taken on that occasion. Whilst he is locale'
at the Beka, several spans of oxen are taken from
Newton Dale, and the thieves recognised as people be.
longing to Stock !
" t3andilla and Macomo, on the other hand, Wbilst
prwe,sing contrition for past offences, and pretending
humility, circulate reports in Kafirland that the British
troops have been beaten and given up the contest ; that,
in fact, they had fallen heck to their ships, and all was
now peace ; inviting their people, moreover, to retard
to the cultivation of their lands. And this assertiod
would seem to deserve credence from the fact that the
Katirs are now actually engaged in tilling the ground.
"As to Utnterara, he still denies having been engaged
in the war, but is nevertheless considered to have shel-
tered cattle stolen from the colony, and will have to be
dealt with accordingly.
" Such, then, are the men with whom the Governor le
about to arrange matters ; and unless he is able to outdo
the savages in political stratagem, the consequences must
of necessity be injurious, nay, disastrous to the well.
being of the colony. We, however, anticipate a better
result from the good senseoq,fihoinsdEayxcelleney.'
, morning,
" The. Frontier post, which arrived
yesterdNayov.a9bo.o!
half-past twelve o'clock, brought the following additions"
though unimportant, intelligence:—
(From the Cape Frontier Times of Nov. 3.)
" His Excellency, it is said, we believe with truth,
scarcely knows what steps to take for the best. He
tend, we understand, to apportion the territory from the
sea to Fort Wiltshire to the Kafir Chief Kama, accord'
ing to certain missionary advice, and the same advice
has been given against locating any whites in the ceded
territory. There is an impression in some quarters the&
the war is about to terminate, and the fighting over.
However this may be, the Kafirs are still continuing their
depredations. Yesterday some cattle were carried or
by them from the neighbourhood of Bathurst, and Mr.
Goldswain's waggon, which was proceeding to Graham': •
Town with an invalid belonging to the Cape Mounted
Rifles, was attacked by a party of 14 Kafirs in Lushing'
ton valley; and yesterday Mr. Palmer, sen., was obliged
to return to town, having been discovered and chased
by Katirs near Blue Krantz The families of tbe
provisional levies are now to be rationed by the Govern'
meat, whether they are destitute or not 'There are,
we understand, 5,000 Fingoes at Butterworth, who are
ready to co-operate in any movement against the enemV•
Letters from Pechlie state that Sandilla's men are desert-
ing him and going over to Macomo, because he is ify
clined to be peaceable. Pato declares that he yet defies
the English, and that if they want the cattle they must
come and tdie them. The coedect of Jan Tzatsoe, who
has returned to hug William's town, it is said requires
exp',natieit, having lately held several communications
with Sandi.lq. Bus Excellency, who, it appears'
rived at Black Delft, was to meet Mecum") on the
29fh ule"
