There are advices of a few days' laver date from the Cane of Good Hope, viz., to December 5. The Kafir war seems
to have been virtually at an end, although there was no
official altiouncement of peace having been coecluded. The
Rev. Henry Calderw ,od had been appointed Commissioner
for the Gaika !lees in British Kafirland, and as this would
necessitate a residence in the country of our late enemies, it
was presumed that rite appointment wetild he permanent, and
that the Governor expected to eetatdist) eieauthoritv without
further opposi ion. Since the surreniter of hlacomo, and the
communication carr ed on with &Latin...mei Botman, the
people were more suealissive, and had retired from a con•
-
eidereble part of the country which they were int-united was
to be constituted British tierritiiry. In the Gaika districts,
which, it is tend, are to he edict! British Katirlar.d, many of
the natives were actively cultivating their gardens,
and the women were employed .in providing firewood
and other necessaries for our camp, so great was
the feeling of • security and satiefaction ertgendeeed
by the moderation in vic.tery of tile English troops.
At the same time every effort was mode to instil into the
minds nf the Katirs ',tie peualty incurred by.tmjnetifiable IT-
uesbion, and they are stet d to be sensible of the blame
justly ascribable to them. The Governor was drawing his
forcesb tjgether, so as, if necessary, to exhibit an imposing
appearance, and in the settlement of the new boundary was
quite unfettered by any coralitions made with ;tte chiefs.

The English Securities have been further depressed again
to-day. The debates in Parliament last night upon the af-
fairs of Ireland are still looked upon as being unsatisfactory,
inasmuch as the method by which Government intends to ,1:
eer .
raise the funds for supplying food and work is left entirely
untouched. We find the belief pretty general. that when
the money comes to be raised, capitalists, knowing
the matter has been pushed off -until the last
moment, will make the Government pay dearly for
the accommodation—more so than would be the
case were a loan at once taken, or an issue of bills effected.
At the same time, we should be sorry to encourage jobbing,
and if the supplies can be raised more cheaply by the crea-
tion and subsequent funding of bills, all the better. Tinker-
ing in finance should ever be avoided, and the promptest
measures are sometimes the best, and especially should be
so now, when the • Bank of England is itself
likely to require its funds, and - the usual reserve
of public deposits, to keep the currency in a sound condition. ,
Consols have ruled at 90% to 90% for transfer and
903/4 to 90% for time, having been yesterday morning
IA to % per cent. above these rates. Time New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have been marked 92% %, and the Three
per Cents. 903% to 91. Beek Stock is heavy at 203 to 204,
and Exchequer-bills have receded to 6e. and is. premium.
The Foreign Bonds have been exceedingly dull. Spanish
Five and Three per Cents. have not been dealt in, the un-
settled state of the Ministry at Madrid not affording a guide
to either Balls or Bears. Alexi/nue Stock is flat at 21%. •
Brazil Bonds have been at 85. Dutch Two-aud-a-Half per
Cents. are worth 58.
Shares have had a heavy appearance, and. the dealings in
them have been mostly at lower rates, where the least dis-
position to press sales has been manifested.
