SUN,

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—By the arrival off this part
this morning of the Prince of Wales Indiaman. Captain
Hopkins, from Calcutta, we have advices from the CAp•
to the 6th ult., upwards of a week later than the last
advices. The Prince of Wales has only been 93 days
at sea.
We take the following from the South African Can:-
Inertial Advertiser of April 3 :

" LATEST FROM THE FRONTIER.
" Information has come in from Fort Peddie up to
Sunday last. His Excellency reached that point on th,
evening of Friday, as also several of the burgher con'
tingents, and amongst them the levy from Lower Albany.
On Saturday his Excellency reviewed these new levies,
and also a body of about 300 Fingoes. The latter eased
before him in single file, after which they exhibited
their mode of attack, closing the proceedings with a r
dance. On Sunday his Excellency attended divin.•
service in the Wesleyan chapel at D'Urban. It is un•
derstood that the troops would make a forward movt.-
ment, from Fort Peddie, on Wednesday, towards Ki. p
William's Town, whence a simultaneous movemot,
would be made by the troops there, including the 1)r -
goon Guards, towards the inemth of the Buffalo, where
military station is about to be formed of 300 men.
Lieutenant Jervois, Royal Engineers, proceed:, thith:.t
immediately for the purpose of laying out the ground
Both divisions, it seems, after forming a junction on the
Buffalo, are then to move back to Fort Peddie, sweepin
the country of cattle and crops in their progress—tip
former to be brought to Peddie, or destroyed, shout,.;
there be any difficulty in brining them forward. The
,rand aim in this movement appears to be, to convince
the Kafirs of our determination to subdue tfo'm ; that it
is not their property we cove-t, but that our Government
is actuated
.by a fixed resolve to put down and punn,li
robbery and viol, nee, as also to place matters upon sue'
a tooting as shall prevent tit, recurrence of future wars.
No saeritioe is too great for this, and we reel p?rsuathl'
that nothing will be lit undone which may conduce
its perfect attains.nent."

London, England, 1847-06-01

THAMES.-(THIS DAY.)

John Hellsby and James Young, two lads about 19 years
of age, and who are what are technically termed " Flying
Dustmen," were charged by Mr. Samuel Tudor, a lead mer-
chant residing at Bromley, with having stolen a silver spoon
from his premises.
Mr. Tudor stated that the two prisoners had repeatedly
applied to him to know if he would let them remove his dust;
but he had declined giving them permission, and informed
them he made use of it himself. Notwithstanding this they
came yesterday morning before he was up, and t, ld his house-
keeper they were come for the deist. She imagining they
had received orders to remove it, pointed out the dust hole,
from which they commenced filling their cart. NN hilst thus
engaged, a lad named Clarke, who happened to be on the
premises, saw Hellsby take up a silver spoon and pocket it,
as he thought, unobserved. As soon as witness was informed
of the circumstance he procured the assistance of the police
and gave the prisoners into custody.
The lad, Clarke, deposed to the above facts, and added that
Hellsby showed the spoon to Young, arid laughed. He had
picked up one previottly, but being pewter, he put it down
again.

—K
265, who apprehended the prisoners, produced the silver
spoon, which Mr. Tudor identified as his property.
Mr. BALLANTINE observed that he had no doubt the public
were extensively plundered by these " Flying Dustmen."
With regard to Young, there was no positive evidence, and
he must, therefore, be discharged ; but the case was clear as
respected liellsby, and he should commit him for trial for the
felony at the ensuing sessions of the Central Criminal Court

GROUP XXXVI.

SOUTHPORT AND PAESTON EXTENSIONS
(EAST LANCASHIRE).
The Committee assembled this morning at twelve o'clock;
Mr. Roebuck in the chair,
When Mr. IYR/trio-lux replied on behalf of the promoters,
chiefly to the objections of Mr. Carrisbrick, whose property
is likely to be afilcted by the progress of the proposed line.
Having shown that, atter the Bill had passed the Commons
last year, it had been thrown out by the House of Lords on
that gentleman's opposition, and that that opposition had.
then been excited by the line passing on the South side of
the house, while, on the present occasion, the promoters
sought for leave to pass on the north side of the house—the
Learned Sergeant passed on to the landowners' objections to
the Preston portion of the line, and especially to those of the
corporation of that town to the site chosen for the station.

EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN (TAT zrz-

PROVEMENTS).

The Committee met this day at twelve o'clock,
Mr. TALBOT then opened the case for the opposition, pro-
moted by the Dundee Harbour trustees. The Learned
l'Ainn" Proceeded at great length to examine the effect
which the works sought to be constructed would have upon
the navigation of the Tay, and contended that as their effect
would be to impede the commerce of Dundee, and to injure
its harbour, on which, since the year 1830, no less a sum
than 600,000/. had been expended, the Committee should at
once express their sense of the encroachments of the com-
pany by refusing the Bill.

A MINISTER APPREHENDED AS A DESERTER,--
Yesterday, the minister who officiated in the forenoon in
Greenhead quoad sacra Church, Canning-street, Calton,
was, immediately after the conclusion of the service,
apprehended as a deserter by two aerjeants of the 71st
Regiment, at present stationed in this city, assisted by a
criminal officer of the Calton district. A great deal of
excitement was caused by this somewhat untoward event,
and his reverence was marched to the guard-room, where
he is at present in confinement, awaiting an investiga-
tion. Ilis sable robes presented a striking contrast to
the gaudy attire of his companions in arms, and attracted
an immense crowd of onlookers. The preacher, who is
a private in the 71st Regiment, stationed here, absented
himself from the barracks only on Monday last. He
took up his quarters with a highly respectable lady in
Charlotte-street, under the assumed name of the Rev.
Mr. Bertram. How he got an introduction to the Esta-
blished Presbytery, so as to get admittance into Green-
head Church, where he preached yesterday morning, we
are unable to state. The real name of the party is
Thomas Watkins. His father, we are informed, is a
minister of the Gospel in the neighbourhood of London.
Our hero was educated to the ministry. but, previous to
his being licensed, he enlisted in a regiment bound to the
West Indies, the name of which we have not ascertained.
He was, however, transferred to the 71st Regiment, from
which he deserted when in Barbadoes, but was after-
wards recaptured. He was absent from his regiment
then as many months as he has been days now. - He was
not, however, idle, but had joined a native regiment, and
had.been promoted to the rank of colour sergeant. He at
times also acted as chaplain, havinz an itching, it appears,
for the profession which in an evil hour he forsook. The
Rev. Mr. Bertram is rather an enticing young man, sad
a very pleasing speaker. Under this assumed name he
is said to have produced a favourable impression on the
fair portion of the audience.—Nolth British Mail.

" One of the most powerful domestic romances which have been
ribllshed for many years: full of youthll2l vigour, of freshness and
originality, of nervous diction, and concentra:ed Interest. It is a
bock to make the heart beat, and to fll the eyes with tears."—Atlas.
" A most extraordinary production. We know no author who
possesses each power as is exhibited in these vsilumes—no writer
who can sustain such a calm mental tone, and so deeply interest,
without having recourse to any startling expedients."—Weekly
Chronicle.
" A story of surpassing interest, rivetting the attention from the
very first, and sustaining it by a copiousness of incident, rare indeed
with modern English novelists."—Critic.
" Minute anatomy of the mind predominates ever incidents; these
being made subordinate to description er the, exhibition of characters.
The book displays considerable skill in the plan, and great power."
—Spectator.

are various,'and of a kind which enlist the sympathies. The style is
fresh and vigotoul,.and a ihrliling interest is excited."----Yorning
" For power of thought and expreision we do not know its rival
among modern productions. The story itself Is unique. There is
much to ponder over, rejoice over, and weep over, in Its ably-written
pages."— Era.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
THE ATTORNET-GENERAL v. STILLER.
T The LORD CHIEF BARON gave judgment in this case.
he Court considered that a certain discretion was left
to the Excise•office with respect to the mode of returning
the grain into the " couch ;" piling it in the form of a
cone in the centre. The officer had not acted impro-
perly in this case, the judgment would therefore be for
the Crown.

THOMPSON v. LANGHIDGE.
In this case the Court made the rule absolute.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
POWERS Y. MAGEE AND LIVINGSTON.
This was an action to recover the sum of 181. 19s. 7d.
for blacksmith's work done to the ship " Nabob," for-
mer ing in the St. Katherine's Dock, of which the
defen ta, who are merchants in Liverpool, are owners.
T,he defendants pleaded that they were not indebted.
Mr. Thomas appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ser-
geant Wilkins for the defendants.
The case lasted a consideratle time, and was not of
general interest. The defence was that the work had
been done on the order of a person named Furnie, a
shipstnith, who had, in fact, arrested the captain of the
ship for the amount, which was paid to him. Furnie
was called, and swore that he nave the orders and held
himself responsible, but he had a dispute
wish the plaintiff on alitr matters, ard conse-
quftly had not settled. Mr. Lir.klatcr, the defendant's
solicitor, was called, and proved that previously to the
settlement of the action by Furnie, plaintiff distinctly
admitted that the orders had been given by Furney.
Mr. Gardiner, merchant, of Great St. Helen's, con-
firmed this evidence, and that plaintiff said he could not
make out an account against the owners, for he must
look to Furnie as his mastor. He (witness) had on be-
half of the owners said they were anxious to
protect him as far as possible, and if he could
point out one single claim for work done
by order of either of the owners on their own account,
they would pay. Pkintiff said he could not, but when
Furnie could not he found, the defendants had told him
to go on with the work, and Mr. Magee had had the bill.
Mr. THOMAS contended that the adoption of the order
by the defendatus, in consequence of the absence of
l'arnie, rendered them liahlw, and that the plaintiff's
opinion as to his legal right ought not to be taken
agakst him.
The jury gave a v?rdiet for the defendants.
