We have received Cape of Good Hope papers to the
7th of October. They contain a memorial which all par-
ties cannot but read with deep interest, as it points out, in
language not to be misunderstood, the rumours, in cor se-
quence of the system that has been too long pursued upon
our frontier, that the momentous declaration is made to the
Government, that; unless active measures are promptly
adopted for the better security of the frontier, the English
inhabitants will be compelled to follow the example of their
Dutch neighbours, and, like them, seek in some remote
district a home.
The reply was as follows :
Slit,-1 am directed by the Lieutenant-Governor to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your letter of the Ist instant,
transmitting a memorial, signed by yourself and certain of
the inhabitants residing in the Moncarana and Ilonap dis-
tricts, praying that some effectual measures may be taken
by the Government for the better security of their lives
and property, and to acquaint you that the memorial has
been forwarded in his Excellency the Governor.,
I have the honour to be,
HUDSON, Acting-Secretary.

The American .barcse Pioneer, Captain Conkling,
arrived at Baltimore in the :extraordinary short space of
twenty-three days from Rotterdam.

Consols are a shade lower than in the earlier part of the
morning, when they were 891 ;1,- for the Opening, at pre-
sent may be quoted 891, they have been fluctuating during
the morning from 891 4, with little:doing. Although the
war in Syria is at an end, and Mehemet Ali has submitted
to the Allied Powers, it has not had any effect on the
British Market, it being anticipated for several days past.

By a letter addressed to Mr. Foster (as Secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce) by order of the Post-
master-General, it appears that " the late irregularities in
Ow arrival of the Lundon mail, rre entirely Ft ttributrd
delay 6, which have occurred on the North Midland Rail_
and that such ni,:asures have Leen taken by his
Lordship "as he trusts will remedy the evil complained
of. "...Hull Observer.
