fact excites no surprise among the reflecting, for it was

in a philosophical and calm spirit. Nor is it even itititter
for regret. The amount of bullion reported on the

" The accounts received b.Y the intend mail on Thum'

the vicinity of Somerset things ar h .

quiet, but along the line of the 111ancazana, and :More

Atuelies), and a horse shot under Mr. Lucas.
Accounts received in letters from Shiloh and whit.

of the enemy there engaged in the assault on .Turve )' s
lager, and the great
loss of property sustained.

h is now reported that. Sandilli is determined to
make a vigorous attack on Fort Hare. It is to be hoped
that he will attempt this, as he will undonbtedly sustain
a defeat, , ..

" The news by the Kafirland post is of little import-.
'ante. But there appears to be now little question re-
lipectieg the hostile tendency of Kreili's feeling towards
the colony; and there exists no doubt but many of his
people are found among the ranks of the enemy.

to be sent up to Burgheradorp.
" A considerable train of waggons, with commissariat
and other supplies, left town on Thursday, for Whittle-

waggon hire now paid home to Whittlesea is 255. to 30s.
per 1001 b., thus upon many articles of every day con-
sumption doubling the original price. This morning a
large waggon train. for the commissariat- department,
errived here from Port Elizabeth, under an escort of the
Native Levy. The post from Cape Town arrived so
early to-day that the letters were delivered before nine
O'clock, a thing which has scarcely occurred before since
the commencement of the war. We are, therefore, in
possession of the information respecting the meeting of
the Council. Here it would have been more satisfactory
had it been summoned to meet at Graham's Town;
_but
a meeting anywhere is preferable to the late anomalous
state of public business."

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
, CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.—The agitation in the Eng-
lish Stock Market to-day has been excessive, and there
. has been as much anxiety to obtain further news from
employment.
. Paris as was witnessed on the receipt of the first intelli-
f gence on Tuesday. Consols, which left off yesterday at
97,4 to i, opened at 97k, and the details of the severe
struggle last evening in the streets, and the probability
of its resumption with equal obstinacy this morning,
caused a feeling of apprehension, which increased
throughout the progress of business, until, after many
violent fluctuations, the market closed at a decline of
nearly one per cent., the last quotations (being 96i to f
for Money, and 96; for the opening in January. btate-
ments that the National Guard in many districts had
declared in favour of the Assembly, and that the same
coarse had been taken by the Generals intommand at
Lille, Lyons, and Marseilles, coupled with the fact of
the members of the High Court of Justice having met
at Rouen and pronounced sentence for high treason on
Louis Napoleon, gave rise to the conviction that, what-
ever may be the immediate course of events, at contest
bas begun which no ordinary means can now allay. The
electrielelegraph was, at work throughout the day, but
no political, news was received by it, and. this seemed
to confirm the fear. that the fighting in the streets bad
recommenced, or that the general state of affairs was so
doubtful as not to admit of any absolute statements
being forwarded regarding the prospects on either side.
The price to wh ois Consols have.declined is as low as
any that has yet been quoted, and it is believed that the
fall would have been heavier but for the numerous pur-
chases' on, the'part of the publio,'which are so frequently
noticed In cases when any sudden. depression ,has; taken
