naked foot-prints in the direction which the cattle had taken,
but the spoor of both cattle and men was soon lost, bang ob-
literated by the tramping of sheep that were grazing there.
. . . On Saturday there were no vessels in Waterloo
Bay—neither the Chieftain nor Matilda bad returned.
TuEsrm—We are sorry, but not surprised, to learn that
Sir A. Stockenstrom has resigned his appointment of Com-
mandant-General of the Burgher Forces On
Friday a Hottentot was brutally murdered by Kafirs near
Fort Beaufort. The unfortunate man was herding cattle,
and whilst in this occupation he appears to have been
seized and tied, and brutally stabbed to death. Some
of the cattle were driven off by the authors of this bar-
barous outrage . . . . We have received copies of the
resolutions lately passed at a public meeting held at Fort
Beaufort on the subject of raising a Parliamentary Agent
Fund, which want of space prevents us from publishing this
week. The names of the branch committee chosen to carry
this purpose into effect are Messrs. B. D. Bell, R. J. Painter,
A. White, W. T. Cope, and W. Stanton. . . . . The
average price of meal in the Graham's Town market is under
31.; butter, 2s. 6d.; wood,lBs. ; potatoes, 10s. 6d. per 100 lbs. ;
oat hay, 15s. ; tobacco, is ; brandy, 3/. 7s. . . . The
remainder of the Rifle Brigade arrived in town this morning.
. . . The Brilliant arrived at Port Elizabeth on Thursday
last, having on board for Government 40,000/. and stores.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was without
animation. Sales, 3,000 bales, of which 1,500 were American
on speculation, at about previous rates. Shares were rather
flat again.
There are advices of a few days' later date from the Cape
of Good Hope, viz., to December 5. The Kafir war seems
to have been virtually at an end, although thera was no
official announcement of peace having been concluded. The
Rev. Henry Calderwood had been appointed Commissioner
for the Gaika tribes in British Kafirland, and as this would
necessitate a residence in the country of our late enemies, it
was presumed that the appointment would be permanent, and
that the Governor expected to establish his authority without
further opposition. Since the surrender of Macemo, and the
communication carried on with Sandilla and Botman, the
people were more submissive, and had retired from a con-
siderable part of the country which they were informed was
to be constituted British territory. In the Gaika districts,
which, it is said, are to be called British Kafirland, 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 satisfaction engendered
by the moderation in victory of the English troops.
At the same time every effort was made to instil into the
minds of the Kafirs the penalty incurred by unjustifiable ag-
gression, and they are stated to be sensible of the blame
justly ascribable to them. The Governor was drawing his
forces together, so as, if necessary, to exhibit an imposing
appearance, and in the settlement of the new boundary was
quite unfettered by any conditions made with the chiefs.
In a report of the Bristol Market a fall in the price of
sugar of 2s. per cwt. from the highest point, ten days since,
is noticed, and an advance of 2s. per gallon in rum, not a
puncheon remaining in first hands.
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
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
90% to 907 i for time, having been yesterday morning
to % per cent. above these rates. The New Three-and-a
Quarter per Cents. have been marked 92% %, and the Three
per Cents. 903/4 to 91. Bank Stock is heavy at 203 to 204,
and Exchequer-bills have receded to 6s. and 3s. 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 Bulls or Bears. Mexican Stock is flat at 21%.
Brazil Bonds have been at 85. Dutch Two-and-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.
