respects of Messrs. BETTS' PATENT GIN over every kind of Gin
that has hitherto entered into the consumption of the British public.

" Messrs. Betts and Co.,
"Having examined the spirit with which you prepare your Patent
Gin, and also the ingredients with which it is flavoured, and having
witnessed the whole process of its distillation and preparation, I am
prepared to state that It contains no deleterious matter whatever, and
that the non-existence of various prejudicial ingredients commonly
employed in the manufacture of Gin, in my opinion gives yours a de.
cided preference.

The high estimate formed by the public during the twelve
years WILLIAM S. BURTON'S (late RIPPON and BURTON'S)
chemically purified material has been before it (made into every
useful and ornamental article usually made in silver, possessing, as
it does, the characteristic purity and durability of silver), has called
into existence the deleterious compounds of " Albata Plate,"
" Berlin Silver," and other so-called substitutes ; they are at best
but bad imitations of the genuine articles manufactured and sold
only by him.

NEAR YORK.
The Important MANORIAL DOMAIN of SCOREBY, splendidly
Wooded and full of Game, only Five Miles from York, and Eight
from Pocklington, upon the rich bank of the Der.% eat, which
forms its fine picturesque Eastern Boundary for nearly Three
Miles between Kexby and Stamford Bridge, where a Railway
Station is constni Ming that will bring this valuable and improving
Primerty (which is nearly all Freehold and Tithe-free) within
Seven Hours' Journey of London.
lIIESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON are
"I Commissioned by the Executors under the Will of the late
OTTIWELL WOOD, Esq., to SUBMIT TO PUBLIC S ILE, at
the Auc'ion Mart, near the Bank of England, on TUESDAY, Septem-
ber 14, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot,
The above very valuable, beautifully compact, and attractive
PROPERTY, only five miles from York, with every advantage as
to society, hounds, game, and flitting ; comprising above 1,309 acres
of highly-cultivated land, richly thnaered, admirably enclosed, and
lying in a perfect ring fence between the Burlington and Hull roads
and the. river Dement, divided into six superior farms, with neat
substantial brick-built houses and homesteads, also several lodges
and cottages for keepers and woodmen. It offers a fine investment
for capital, but very considerable sums have been expended for
several years past in draining and planting, in the formation of
roads and pleasure drives, in new buildings, and otherwise im-
proving and embellishing the estate, with a view of its be-
coming a residence ; and the site for a mansion was marked
out by the late Mr. Gilpin, in a central park-like pathlock
of about 40 acres, in full command of its own beauti•
tiful woods, the church, and a bold mountainous range
of the distant Wolds. In connexion with this site various
ornamental plantations, with extensive diversified walks lead-
ing to the wools, have been formed with the utmost care, parti-
cularly an extensive arboretum full of the most curious and
valuable coniferous plants, beautiful thorns, &c., containing
almost every variety of tree and shrub which will thrive in this
climate. There is a small shooting box on this spot, with dog-
kennels, coach-house, and stable, and an American garden in
one of the woods. The importance and attractions of the pro-
perty consist in its extent, . compactness, improvable soil, rich
pastures, on the river, and Its remarkably thriving oak woods ; that
it is tithe-free and freehold (except a few acres), and also in its
delightful seclusion, though only five miles from York, without a road.
across it. The shooting is first-rate, although the rabbits have been
destro-Jed for the sake of the farms and woods, and stock of hares
greatly reduced.
The estate may be viewed by application to Mr. Jelinzon, at
Scoreby ; and descriptive particulars, with plans, may be had on the
premises ; at the chief Hotels at York, Beverley, Hull, Derby, Man-
chester, &c. ; at the Auction Mart, London ; of Messrs. Lightfoot,

IMPORTANT FROM KAFIRLAND.
(From the H .)
We have received Cape of = .od Hope papers to
the 30th of tune inclusive, w ;ng us very un-
satisiactory intelligerme resp' the state of that
colony. We are sorry to have to mention that a
sharp affair took place between the British forces and

the Kafir tribe under Sandilla on the 15th of June,
which gave the latter the advantage, in consequence
of its nuwaical strength. The loss of the Kafirs,
however, IP-P no doubt very considerable, while that
sustained by our arms was comparatively insignifi-
cant, though we deeply regret to announce that
Lieut.4gussell (said to be of the family of our noble
Premier), was mortally wounded, he having died on
the 17th. We subjoin particulars :
"'From the Graham's Town Journal, June 19.)
THURSDAY, JUNE 17.—Some rather startling in-
formation reached town last night—we mean startling
to the authorities—as to an emezde, as the French
would say, between the friendly Kafirs and a strong
detachment of British troops, a short distance from
Block Drift. It appears that some stolen property
having been traced to these Kafirs, adherents of
Sandilla, the Kafir Police, recently organized,
were sent to the chief's kraal, for the purpose
either of retaking this booty, or of seizing other cattle
as restitution. These men were supported by a con-
siderable body of military, stated to consist of a squa-
dron of 7th Dragoon Guards, a troop of the Cape
Mounted Rifles, and two companies of the 45th Regi-
ment. It was supposed that with so insposing a force,
the Kafirs would be completely overawed and submit
quietly to the seizure ; but in this those who held
such an opinion found themselves egregiously de-
ceived. The Kafirs flew to arms, many shots were
exchanged, and we are sorry to say that Lieutenant
Russell, of the police, a fine young man, about twenty-
' three years of age, and soldier of the 45th Regiment
were killed, and several others wounded.
The intelligence of this affair with the Kafirs reach-
ing Fort Beaufort, every precaution was adopted by
the authorities for the general security. An order
was immediately sent round the town to close all the
canteens, the military were under arms, and picquets
were posted around, to give timely alarm in the event
of approaching danger. With all this, intelligence
has reached us, that about forty bead of cattle were
taken from Mr. J. Vaughan, three horses out of Mr.
Curl's stable, a mare belonging to a young man named
Watson, and that some other depredations were com-
mitted, which have been merely mentioned without
giving particulars. Our informant, who left Fort
Beaufort on Thursday morning, states, that he heard,
when a few miles on his journey hither, the sound of
heavy firing, and which appeared to come from the
Ceded Territory, towards Post Victoria.
Immediately on the receipt of the foregoing intelli-
gence the Hon. the Commander of the Forces,
Lieutenant-General Sir George Berkely, with a
trong escort of Dragoons, and C. M. Rifles, left
Graham's Town, for Fort Beaufort, for the purpose,
it is supposed, of immediately commencing active
operations against the enemy.
S ATI:7RD A T.-IVe have received information which
throws a clearer and stronger light upon the recent
affair with the Kafirs near Block Drift, than that be-
fore given. The leading particulars in the account
before us are as follow : _ _

" Fort Hare, June 17.
" We were completely beaten by tie Kafirs yester-
day, the particulars being as follow :—On the morning
of the 15th a party of military, composed of 50 of the
7th Dragoon Guards, 15 Cape Mounted Rifles, 100 of
the 45th Regiment, 20 of the Fingoe Levy, and about
70 of the Kafir police mounted, left Fort Hare in
consequence of Sandilla having refused to deliver up
a thief, saying, we might think ourselves well off by
getting back the stolen horses. The object of the
patrol was to seize and bring in either the thief or
Sandilla, dead or alive. The military moved off
in the night, and reached Sandilla's kraal long be-
fore daylight ; but unfortunately the Dragoons
galloping up, the rattling of their swords gave
the alarm, and Sandilla escaped from his hut
with five armed followers, and took shelter in the
adjacent bush. He might have been shot, but he
was allowed to get under cover, probably thinking it
would be easy to capture him, but the sequel will
show this was a mistake. The military then took
possession of about 100 head of fine cattle, which
were found in the chief's kraal—in the meantime the
Superintendent of the Police, Lieutenant Davis,
galloped forward with his men to a kloof, where a
party of armed Kafirs were seen, but received so warm
a reception as to be very glad to return. The Kafirs
seemed to be well prepared, and in good fighting
humour. Lieutenant Davis then joined the main
body with the cattle, and which moved homeward.
At this time the Kafirs were heard and seen muster-
ing in force, taking up a position at the bushy ravine
on the road which the military had to pass. On ap-
proaching this point the Kafir policemen were sent
out as skirmishers, and aided considerably in divert-
ing the attention of, and in keeping off, the enemy.
At length the troops were attacked with vigour on
all aides, the enemy being very numerous, well
armed, and abundantly supplied with ammuni-
tion. Their numerical force is estimated at the
lowest at 1,000, while, for every shot fired on
our side it is supposed they returned three. By this
supperiority of strength the Kafirs were not long in
retaking the greater part of the cattle, hurraing and
shouting that they had beaten the English. Not
content with this, they followed the expedition,
hanging on its flanks and rear to within three miles
of Fort Hare, a distance of 12 or 15 miles, and only
returned on seeing a reinforcement approaching from
the Fort, with a fresh supply of ammunition. Not-
withstanding this long and harassing march and
heavy fire of the enemy, our loss was comparatively
trifling. One of the 45th was killed on the spot.
Lieut. Russell (said to be a family connexion of Lord
J. Russell), of the Kafir police, mortally wounded,
died this morning, and 7 or 8 wounded, among whom
is one of the 7th Dragoon Guards. The loss on the
,ide of the Kafirs cannot be ascertained, but is sup
posed from the quantity of ammunition expended,
%aid to be 16,000 rounds, to be considerable. Such
are the people who a few weeks ago were professing
oenitance, and who declared they had given up all
their arms l"
Another hand, writing from Fort Beaufort, makes
he following statement :
" We are once more in a state of excitement and
alarm. On Monday the Dragoons were ordered out
to Block Drift, the engineers put into garrison, drifts
and passes guarded, and the community warned of
coming danger ; but why all this nobody could learn.
Events have, however, since transpired explanatory.
" It appears that some short time ago some goats
were stolen from the Kat River, traci-d to Mocomo's
people, and by them the spoor passed to Sandilla's
territory. Some days after Sandilla sent in these
goats to Block Drift, stating that they had been found
in the field, &c. It was afterwards discovered that
Sandilla, having brought the theft home to one of his
people, had ' eat him up' in consequence, and ap-
propriated the culprit's cattle to himself. A message
was accordingly sent to Sandilla, demanding the
thief and three head of cattle in payment. To this
an answer was returned that Sandilla knew nothing
about the thief, the goats having been found straying.
The upshot of all this was, that a body of about 300
men, Dragoons, 45th, Cape Corps, and Kafir Police
were sent to attack the chief's kraal. On arriving at
Burn's Hill they secured the cattle of Sandilla's own
kraal and another. The Kafirs assembled in great
force,; lay in wait for the troops, called out, You
have done well to come to the old graves' t(alluding
to the disastrous Burn's Hill affair), and then opened
a heavy regular fire upon the men, killed one of the
45th, and wounded five others, amongst whom is
young Russell, formerly in charge of Kama's people
(the Tarka levy), at the Umselo, now an officer of
police. He is shot through the lungs, and is in a
dangerous state. The Kafirs succeeded in retaking
the cattle, with the exception of thirty, and two
horses. They followed the troops nearly to Block
Drift, availing themselves of every favourable position
in the road to renew the attack, and on leaving them
at the neck cried out, By and bye you will learn
wisdom, and not come again.
POSTCRIPT.
TUESDAY, JUNE 22.—There have lately been some
vague reports of a combination against the colony
between Faku, the Amapondo chief, and Kreili
(Hintaa's tribe), but as far as we can learn Faku is
disposed to " sit still."
Information, however, has reached town to the
effect that a meeting has lately been held between
Kreili and his councillors, in which a certain plan of
defence was agreed upon, should they be attacked.
Before the present Governor's arrival, Kreili, it
seems, had sent in a drove of cattle as a reparation
for the losses suffered by the British subjects in his
country, &c., which were received.
In the mean-
time the Gouernor arrived, and Kreili sent in another
instalment of cattle, which, it is said, were sent back
by order of his Excellency, who caused that chief to
be informed that he would personally arrange matters
with him. This message, with the refusal of the
cattle, was naturally construed by Kreili into an in-
tention of attacking him, and the consequence was
the meeting above mentioned.
We have received information from King William's

Town to tl:e 15th of June. On the night of the
previous day Cobus Congo, Pato's 'mother, went to
King Williams Town, offering to surrender himself,
and also with a message from Pato to the same effect.
Capt. Maclean, Commissioner for the Slambie tribes,
declined to receive the' surrender of any Kaffir
proxy, and as Cobus ha:cl brought no arms his sur-
render could not be received. Cobus asked for the
period of thirty days to give his tribe time to so:-
render, but twelve days only were given him, which
was accepted by Cobus, who promised that by e
30th instant Pato and all the chief men of the trib,
should surrender themselves, and the common Kafir.;
of the tribe as soon as they could be collected. Fort
Hare had been strengthened by small detachments
from the neighbouring camps.
The news of the late affair at Burn's Hill he..s
spread throughout the country, and naturally dt,er-
ened the feeling of insecurity that before prevailed.'
Of the General's intentions towards Sandilla we kno
nothing. He is now at Fort Hare, whither he be-
took himself immediately on the receipt of the rap-
ture, and it is reported that Sandilla has sent him a
message, purporting that he is vastly sorry for what
had occurred, and entreating forgiveness and the like.
(From the Zuid Afrikaan of June 28.)
The news from the frontier by last Thursday's
post is exceedingly gloomy. (The particulars will be
seen in another column.)
The experience of the past years has shown most
incontrovertibly that no faith can be placed upon the
Kafirs. Unless they are subdued and humbled, in
the strict sense of the word, and their power broken,
and eradicated root and branch, the colony will never
be secure against their spoliation and inroads. So
long as there is any chieftainship extant in Kafraria,
so long it will be impossible to destroy the banner
around which to rally in the moment of danger !
It is true that certain chiefs and part of their men
tendered their submission, and in token thereof de-
livered up a few rusty assegais or useless muskets,
saying-that was all they had-rand-fris-eqtrati3r true-
that a system of ticketing the friendly Kafirs, as they
were termed, was introduced ; but who knows not,
also, how many of those friendly Kafirs were detected
in the act of plunder—what trouble they have given
to the authorities—and the resistance they offered
some time ago to a military patrol in search of stolen
property traced to their location!
These men are called subjugafed, bumble, penitent
Kafirs, and Sandilla and his men are also thus
termed. They also have delivered up all their guns
and ammunition—they are at peace with her Majesty's
Government! But, behold, no sooner is it endea-
voured to test their faith, than we find them flying
to arms—exhibiting no less than about one thousand
muskets, and discharging thrice 16,000 rounds of
ball cartridge at our troops, killing two and wound-
ing several others of our men, recapturing the cattle
taken from them, and following the British soldiers
for a distance of some ten or fifteen miles, and only
quitting them when in sight of a British fort!
These things are certainly but ill calculated to en-
courage the inhabitants of the colony at large as to
the soundness of the measures adopted for its security.
They will, on the contrary, revive in the breast of
the haughty savage the notion of his superiority, and
perhaps lead to results not less disastrous than those
of the last fourteen months. The news of this victory
will spread like wildfire throughout Kafirland, whose
warriors will re-unite in hostility towards the colony,
and woe to its inhabitants if they are found unpre-
pared to ward off the rush and the steel of their
assailants !
