(From the Greenock Advertiser of Nov. 21.)
We have received eight' day s' later iitelligcnce from
the Cape of Good Hope—viz., to the 16th of September,
by the
_fine ship Deogaum, Evans, whiCh arrived *hem
yesterday from Calcutta, having called at St. Helena
on the 6th ult. The Gazette of that island quotes
the following from the South African. Commercial Ad-
vertiser :
"Information, a few days later, has been received
from his Excellency's camp at Bloem Fontein. On the
morning after the action of the 29th August, which was
not over till after sunset, Pretorius, accompanied by only
three men, passed the farm of Commandment Erasmus,
full 60 miles from the field of battle, on the road to-
wards Magalisberg. Gert Kruger, one of the insurgent
field commandants, passed th same place on the
following Thursday, and stated that Pretorius
fled, and left the people to shift for them-
selves—that he (Kruger) was now their leader, and
having heard that his Excellency desired to see
Potgeiter, he would go and fetch him, and
also P. Beater. He further declared that he and
Beater wanted to speak with the governor, and
not to fight ; but Staunders said, 'No ; fire away.'
Staunders was struck by a round shot on the shoulder
and side of the head, and lay for a short time. insensible.
Three wounded b ,ers passed Erasmus's place, one shot
through the mouth, one through the arm, and one
through the leg. When Pretorius returned to his camp
after the fight he rode through without stopping, in at
ono side and out at the other, as Hannibal did at Lama,
and Napoleon at Waterloo, leaving the parts of Scipio
and Wellington to be acted by Sir H. Smith. Only two
prisoners fell into the hands of the victors, one of them
a descrier from the 45th Regiment. Both were tried by
a court-martial at Bloem Fontein, and shot. It was ex-
pected that Sir Harry would reach Wenburg on the Bth,
and after restoring British authority there, return to
Bloem Fontein by the 16th. This is all that is certainly
known at present. There was a rumour at Colesberg
that another battle bad been fought beyond.Bloem Fon-
tein on the 6th; but:it is generally disbelieved here, as it
is almost impossible that news up to that date could have
reached Colesberg when the post started..
" There is no news of importance froth the eastern
fronteir. It appears that the Kafir chief Ereli is honestly
discharging his debt incurred by the destruction of the
missionary premises at Butterworth by some of his
people during the last war."

COURT CIRCULAR.

The Queen and Prince Albert, with their Royal

velling by special train on that line to Basingstoke,
and thence by the South-Western Railway.
The royal party arrived in the Royal Clarence Vic-
tualling establishment, Gosport, at ten minutes past
twelve o'clock, when the standard was hoisted, and
royal salutes fired by all the ships in harbour, dressed

ings from the officers and crews of the ships in har-
bour as the yacht passed, and arrived at the landing-
place, East Cowes, at eighteen minutes past one, P.M.
The royal standard on the tower at Osborne denoted
the arrival of her Majesty at thirty-three minutes
