inst., when CA.lonel Richardson, with 274 of the 7th Dra-
goon.., reached this, having heard that we were hemmed IA
un er: !y B!dt., Pato has openly declared hi:itself our enemy,
te • war c;y ' havhig issued trom his kraal, and so I think
'Are h 'll'e wa, rn k before us, as at this present moment
a'iunt. 500 are wi; bin oue mile of Fort Peddie.- fight-
ing ti:“ Fi IlgOeS of this settlement; the bugles are blow-
ing ,:nd turning out, &c. The Kaffirs are very daring."

Another hand
From *dal! list to the 27th we were kept constantly on
the alert—war cries on all side;—but nothing done. We lost
our position at Sand Drift, and which caused such a panic
here, although the strongest post on the frontier. garrisoned
by 200 nn n, yet officers and all moved their baggage for
security into the infantry barracks. Stock (Eno's son) re-
mains steady, but his men, there can be little doubt, have
joined the enemy, but not in any great numbers. Umkie
also, with a few, remains steady. .Seyola, Nonibi, and Pato,
are the only chiefs who have openly mustered a war party.
Umhala is still quiet, but there is good reason to believe that
he is as deep in the plot as any of the rest. There are still
those who are willing to believe that Pato is quiet, and has
committed no overt act against the colony, and this in the
face of his driving in the Fingoes from Sand Drift, and.of his
people in great numbers being in the colony, and returning
with large fields of colonial cattle. Such nonsense is quite
sickening, and if Pato should be again acknowledged as a
chief it will be a great error,
May Ist.—Pato's people have attacked the Fingoes cicse
to this, and the parties are now engaged.
"An instance of what may be done, if the Kaffirs are
dealt with properly, kas been reported to us as follows:—
Some 20 or :;1.1 Kallirs being seen on the Konap Heights, Mr.
It. Aylitt; of Leo Fontein, sent out a party of 12 Hottentots,
who creeping stealthily towards the spot tired a volley into
them, when such as were able instantly fled, panic struck,
leaving 12 guns, several assagais, and many other things in
the hands of the attacking party. Three of the enemy are
said to have been shot dead.'
We are intornied, also. that a most resolute resistance was
made a few nights since to au attack by the enemy in a
position taken by some Dutch farmers on the Konap, under
J. Nei. The Kaffirs were in great force, but were repulsed
with the loss of 16 of their number, who are said to have
been shot eea.i.

STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE.
HOUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lordships met to-day at the unusually late hour of
two o'clock, in Room 1, House of Lords. Lord Shaftesbury
took the chair as usual.
There was but one Bill on the list, namely,
THE WISBEACII, ST. IVES, AND CAMBRIDGE
London, England, 1846-07-02

TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH LAN-
CASHIRE.
Richmond Hill, Liverpool, let July. 19,43.
Gentlemen,—enasten to acknowledge the receipt of a equisitien,
signed by more than nine thousand electors of S ,uth Lancashire, in-
viting me to become a candidate for the seat now vacant by the
elevation of Lord Francis Egerton to the peerage.
To represent a constituency distinguished by its numbers, its in-
dustry, and its intelligence, and by its great Influence on the cha-
racter and`policy of the nation, I esteem one of the highest honours
to which a man may attain.
With feelings of the greatest pleasure I answer your call, and offer
myself as a candidate for your suffrages.
When I addressed you at the period of the election in the Spring of
1844, I avowed myself the strenuous advocate of perfect freedom of
trade,—l stated that my experience, as a merchant, enabled me to say
that it was a vital question; that it involved the freedom, the pros-
perity, and, probably, the peace of the country.
Since that time I have to the best of my ability constantly sup-
ported the principles I then avowed, and it will he a continual
source of gratification to me to reflect that I have given my humble
exertions in aid of the Free-traders of England, by whose reasoning,
energy, and prudence, the most eminent public men have been con-
verted, the interests of classes and the prejudices of party have been
overthrown, and one of the greatest, the wisest, and I hope one of the
most enduring, reforms has been peacefully achieved.
I am well aware that other important measures will shortly enzage
a portion of that public attention which has lately been almost ex-
clusively concentrated upon the question of Free Trade. The state
of Ireland is a cause of much anxiety; Ireland must be wisely and
humanely governed, and we must diligently seek and promptly apply
the true remedies for the grievances of which that country has long
complained. She must no longer with justice refer to the inequality
of either her Parliamentary or her Municipal Franchise ; in fact,
Ireland must be governed as if no sea were between us.
Though much has been gained our labours will not terminate until
the last fetter upon commerce and industry shall have been removed.
Our opponents are powerful and fertile in resources, and it is possible
that some of them may not be over scrupulous as to the means of
arresting our progress. Vigilance, the price of freedom, continues
to be the first duty of the Representatives of the People. However
deficient I may be in ability, I pledge myself zealously and con-
stantly to advocate your interests, which are those of the country
and of mankind.

Above all things, we must promote the intellectual progress of the
people, and so consolidate the triumphs of industry, as we widely
diffuse the blessings of a sound education. We shall thus, I hope,
be enabled, at no distant period, whilst we improve the condition of
the people of England, to set an example to the world of the right
use of power and wealth in the extension of freedom and the preser-
vation of peace.—I have the honour to be, your faithful servant,

insufficient to prevent inundations; that the canal of SchiPr
donk is only an experiment, which will lead to expense
every year, and will in the end occasion heavy expenses,
which the Chamber is now unwilling to incur.
The opinions of the Central Section were then defended by
?if7 Delabaye, who desired that the canal of Shipdonk should
tern-dilate at the sea, and not stop at Deynze.posed would h

THE OREGON TERRITORY.

Mr. HUNIE said, that it was reported that a formal notice
had been sent to this country by the President of the United
States to the British Government, terminating the Oregon
Convention of 1b37. Now he wished to ask the Right Hon.
Baronet, the First Lord of the Treasury, if the report were
correct ?

Sir R. PEEL replied, that the American President had cer-
tainly givers formal notice of the termination of the existing
Convention, which is to take place at the end of this year ; and
in giving that notice, he adopted the terms agreed upon by
both Houses of the American Legislature, in the hope that it
might lead to an amicable adjustment of the question.—( Hear,
hear,)
