THE KAFIR WAR.

The following is an extract from a private letter, dated
Cape Town, May 2:—
" No official accounts or reports of proceedings in
British lisfrarla nor on the eastern frontier later than
April 19 have• reached Cape Town, but tho information
coat:tined in the newspapers of the paramount chief
Kreili having at length joined the war party, and of
having been actually engaged in hostilities against us
(his fii-h-lity was always doubted), as also that the Gaikas
under Sandilli aro becoming tired of :ho war, entirely
accord with the communications we have received in
letters dated King Town the 22d and 23d ult.,
and which were received yesterday."

THE COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS AND THE ME-
TROPOLITAN CLERGY.—The Archdeacon of Middlesex has
addressed the following note to those cf the clergy of the
diocese of London who are within his jurisdiction, on the
subject of sewers rate on rent charges, Bcc.,in the metropolis:
" Kensington Vicarage, June, 1851.—Reverend and deer
Sir,--As your parish is within the limits of the Metropolitan
Commission of Sewers, I think it right to inform you that I
lately observed a sudden, and, as I conceived, an exorbitant
increase in the demand made upon me on account of sewers-
rate. Having understood that this additional demand
was not made upon myself alone, but generally upon
the clergy of the metropolis holding rent charges
or glebe lands, I determined to resist it, and I availed myself
of the ablest professional advice. The result is that this
charge has been reduced, and I have drawn your attention
to the subject in the hope that if you are subjected to the
same grievance, you may have the satisfaction of obtaining
the same redress.—Believe me to be, reverend and dear air,
yours very faithfully, jomN SiNcLATR, ?lA., Archdeacon of
Middlesex."

Arrangements have been made for forthwith laying the
foundation-stone of a large new church, to be erected in the

ham Palace. It is to be called St. Mark, and will contain
