THE SUN,

GREAT NORTHERN COAL TRADE.

The managers of the Great Northern Railway
Company are taking most effective measures to de-
velop this traffic to its uttermost extent. The arrange-
ments made by Mr. Coles Child, the manager of the
coal traffic, are such that, if London will buy the coals,
the Great Northern Railway Company can supply them
at a greatly reduced price, and ,with the utmost faci-
lity. With the view of supplying the London public
with as much of the black diamonds as they can be
expected to consume, Mr. Coles Child contrived the
following arrangements :—At the Maiden-lane
station, which will remain as the goods station of the
Great Northern Company, there is a long range of
store-houses for coals. The coal trucks run into
these stores, and deposit their burdens in them in the
twinkling of an eye, by apertures made in the
bottoms of the trucks ; through these apertures the
coals drop into the stores immediately beneath, be-
tween the rails. From these stores the sacks of the
consumers are filled by allowing the coals to run down
over a sieve, by which means a sack is filled with coals
in an astonishingly short space of time, and the opera
lion of screening is thoroughly well performed. The
time and labour thus saved not only enabled the con-
sumer to have his waggon filled almost in the space of
time formerly spent in filling a single sack, but the
expense of the operation is materially reduced. By
the above-mentioned means the Great Northern could
supply the London public with 2,500 tons of coal per
day—if they should ever want as much. The stores
will hold 2,500 tons at a time, and the coal trucks
above them will hold 750 tons in addition. As
many as fifty gangs of men could be at work
at the same time, attending the operation
performed by the machinery of storing, screen-
ing, and sacking the coals, a force equal to dis-
posing of full 2,500 tons in a day. In the meantime,
that is, while the coal trade amcunts to much less than
2,500 tons per day, the expense can be nearly appor-
tioned to the extent of business done. They need not
have a man more than they require. At present the
whole coil trade of the Great Northern amounts to
about 1,2001. a week, the gross sum which the com-
pany receive for the carriage of each ton being a little
under 7s. ; the charge for conveyance is about
per mile per ton. If the London trade alone should
ever amount to 2,500 tons per day, the gross receipts
per, annum would be about four times as much as the
whole of the present coal traffic. 2,500 tons a day
would be productive of a gross receipt of about
263,0001. a year, half of which would probably be
profit to the company. But to speak our own mind,
we must say we are not sanguine enough to expect
results from the coal traffic so large as this.—Herepath

STATE OF FARM BUILDINGS.—In the COUTSO Of OUT
practice we were led, some time since, to give more than
ordinary attention to the arrangement and construction of
Farm Buildings, an interesting subject for inquiry which has
not been pursued to the extent it deserves, and in going over
a number of farms for information, were astonished at the
miserable condition in which the greater number of them
were found. The buildings are ruinous; ill contrived; placed
without any regard to convenience, still less symmetry; and
erected in most cases regardless of known expedients for les-
sening labour and saving expense in the long run. Even
where there has been a willingness wisely to invest money
in erecting new buildings or improvingold ones, incompetent
persons have in many cases been employed, and the result is
very unsatisfactory.—Builder.

A FARMER'S HELPMATE.—A young lady who,
perhaps, is better acquainted with French than farming, and
is more attentive to her piano than her dairy, was recently
married to a farmer. In examining her new domains she
one day visited the byre, when she thus interrogated her
milkmaid :—" By the bye, Mary, which of the cows is it that
gives the buttermilk?"— Montreal Courier.
ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO POISON A MOTHER.—OR
Wednesday a young man, named Daniel Richardson, was
taken bffore R. Fitzjohn, Esq Baldock, charged with at.
tempting to poison his mother with Spanish flies The pri-
soner is a man of notoriously bad character. Several years
ago he was transported. for a felony, sent to iihraltar, and
afterwards to Millbal k Prison, where he remained fifteen
months, when his sentence was commuted. The very day
of his release he went to Baldock, and during the night en-
tered Messrs. Hogg and Lindsell's bank by the chimney;
for this offence he was tried at the Hertford assizes, and sen-
tenced to twelve months' imprisonment. He had not been
out of prison many days when the criminal attempt with
which he is now charged was made. The prisoner had been
to London, and upon his return was heard doing something
in the kitchen, from whence he returned into his mother's
living room. She was at the time looking over some papers,
and had a glass of porter by her side. The prisoner bent
over her for a minute, and on his mother immediately atter
taking up the porter to drink she found something clinging
to her lips, Evil on looking into the glass detected something
gree fl ating on the top. Something of the same kind also
adhered to her lips. On examination, the foreign substance
proved to be Spanish flies. The mother, afraid of her life,
gave information to police-constable Hawkes after the lapse
of some days, and at that time the constable found parts of
two flies in his waistcoat pocket. The prisoner was com-
mitted to the assizes for trial. —Hertford Mercury.

THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 9.—The
Royal Mail steam-ship Severn, Captain W. Vincent, took
her departure this afternoon with the usual mails for Lisbon,
the Brazils, and the River Plate, in charge of Lieutenant
Strover, Admiralty agent. The Severn took out 57 pas-
sengers, a very large cargo, and specie value 73,000/. sterling.
Tue next Brazil mails will be brought by the Teviot, Captain
R. Revett, which vessel will be the first homeward arrival
under the new arrangements, and will be due here on the
16th inst. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company's ship Ma trid, Captain John Weeks, sailed on
Monday with the mails for Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and
Gibraltar. She had a large number of passengers, a full
cargo, specie value 2,5001., and 1 bottles of quicksilver on
freight. The Iberia, with the next homeward mails, from
the same ports, is due here on Sunday next, the 14th inst.
The United States mail steam-ship Washington, Captain G.
W. Floyd, will leave Southampton on Wednesday (this day)
at 2 P.M. She will take about 160 passengers and about 200
tons measurement goods on freight, the latter principally
from Germany and France.

MURDER. About eleven o'clock on Saturday
night the inhabitants residing in the Tontine-close were
alarmed by the cries of murder proceeding from the house of
a tailor named Jack, who lives in that locality. The police
having entered the house, found that Jack had been abusing
his wife in a dreadful manner, and ttey took him into cus-
tody. In about an hour and a half afterwards word was
brought to the Central Police-office that the poor woman
had died in consequence of the injuries she had received.
Dr. Easton was immediately in attendance, and made a par-
tial exami ation of the body, but no injuries of a serious
nature were apparent. From the statement of a little boy
who was in the house it appears that Jack and his wife had
quarrelled, and that he had attacked her with his fists, and
knocked her down, an't white on the floor had seized her by
the throat. A postmortem examination will, we understand,
be made, when the cause of death will probably be arrived at.
Jack was apparently not drunk when taken to the office,
and the victim of his cruel rage was, as far as we can learn,
previously enjoying good health. Jack denies having ill-
treated his wile, but states that she was taken unwell, and
while he was engaged fling her pulse she died. The
statement of the police officers, again, is, that the poor wo-
man was alive when they took the husband into custody.
Both Jack and his wife are advanced in years.—North Bri-
tieli Daily Mail.
HARLOW Bu CATTLE FAIR, SEPT. 9.—This
fair immediately succeeds that of Barnet. The supply was
equal to any former oecasion, and the prices, generally, for
store beasts, from the large Lincoln to the tiny Scot, were
much the same as at the great fair at Barnet, which, to
some extent, regulates the price of live stock. 'I he milch
and in-call cows of the York.hire breed made rather more
money, the cow jobbers buying several large lots at from
151. to -A/. each for the London markets. The polled Suf-
folks made from 121. to 161. each, a long price for a Suffolk,
but they were some very choice animals. The horse-fair,
heretofore a very celebrated and still an important one for
the sale of cart colts and horses, was abundantly supplied.
The best 5-year-old cart-horses, suitable for London work,
very readily made 50 guineas each, and in some instances
very choice animals reached 6 guineas ; middling size, fur
agricultural purposes, 30 to 35 guineas each ; cart colts, 2
years old, were in great demand, making 18 to :z5, and 3
years old ''o to 35 guineas each, several large lots being
bought by the farmers and dealers train Kent, Surrey, and
Sussex, who invariably attend this fair.

A TEA DRlNKLE.—Elfieitt, the celebrated writer
and critic, usu Ily rose at from one to two o'clock in the day
—scarcely ever before twelve; and if he had no work hi
hand, he would sit over his breakfast (of excessively strong
black tea, and a toasted French roll) till four or five in the
afternoon silent, motionless, and self-absorbed, like a Turk
over his opium pouch ; for tea served him in this capacity.
It was the only stimulant he ever took, and at the same
time the only luxury; the delicate state of his digestive
organs prevented him from tasting any fermented liquors,
or touching any food but beef, mutton, poultry, or game,
dressed with perfect plainness. He never touched any but
black tea, and was very particular about the quality of that,
always using the most expensive that could be got; and he
used, when living alone, to consume nearly a pound in a
week. A cup of Hazlitt's tea (if you happened to come in
for the first brewage of it) was a peculiar thing; I have
never tasted anything like it. He always made it for him-
self; half filling the teapot with tea, pouring the boiling
water on it, and then almost immediately pouring it out,
using with it a great quantity of sugar ;.nd cream. To judge
from its occasional effect upon myself, I should say that the
quantity Hazlitt drank of this tea produced ultimately a
most injurious effect upo him, and in all probability hastened
his death, which took place from disease of the digestive
organs. But its immediate effect was agreeable, even to a
degree of fascination ; and not feeling any subsequent re-
action from it, he persevered in its use to the very last, not-
withstanding two or three attacks similar to that which ter-
minated his life.—Douglas Jerrold

AN EDITOR'S VINDICATION OF A FRIEND ---An
editor, in vindicating the private character of a friend, who
had been nailed for the crime of sheep-stealing, thus de-
fended him:—" We have known Mr. Thomas for twelve
years. Our acquaintance commenced with that great equi-
noctial storm which blew down our grandfather's barn. At
that time he was a young man in the prime of life, and
we think raised the best maiiyivfat peas we ever ate. Ile

was a good mathematician, kind to the poor, and troubled
with fits. In all the relation of a husband, father, uncle, and
trustee of common lands, he has followed the direct stan-
dard of duty. Mr. Thomas is at this time forty-three years
of acze, slightly marked with the small-pox, an estimable
citizen, a Church member, and a man •of known integrity
for ten years. And as to sheep-stealing, what he would
have done if he could get an opportunity Is without founda-
tion in point of fact. Mr. Thomas could have stolen our
lead.pencil several times. but didn't do it."

On Saturday night, about half-past ten o'clock,
while a goods train was coming in from Leith Junction, a
man, apparently a labourer, was observed lying on the op-
posite line of rails, with life all but extinct. Assistance
was immediately procured from St. Margaret's, and he was
removed first to the station at Waverley-bridge, and then
to the police-office. To all appearance he had, in a state
of helpless inebriation, wandered upon the line, and been
overtaken by the train which leaves for Musselburgh at
nine o'clock. The body was frightfully mutilated, both
feet, together with the right hand, having been cut off, and
he died shortly after being discovered. He was a middle-
aged man, and as yet has not been identified. —Caledonian
Mercury.

DEATH OF Miss SHEIL.—Miss Sheil, a maiden
sister of the Right Hon. Richard Lalor Sheil, died at Water-
ford, on Saturday last, after an illness of but two hours;
so her death, like that of the illustrious orator, was sudden,
resulting from a disease of the heart. How peculiar are these
diseases in the members of families. The death of the late
Lord George Bentinck was preceded but a short time by
the equally sudden death of his mother.

Mr. G P. R. James, the novelist, who is now in
the United States, has been severely injured by being thrown
prom his carriage while driving an unruly horse. His in-
Aries are not considered dangerous.

THE KAFIR WAR.

• (From the Times.)
PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The General Screw Steam
Shipping Company's steam-ship Hellespont, Captain
William Watts, arrived here about midday.
Her dates are—Cape of Good Hope, August 1 ;
Sierra Leone, August 16 ; and St. Vincent, Au-
gust 24.
Her accounts of the state of affairs on the frontier
are far from satisfactory.
Sir Harry Smith appears to have made no move-
ment of consequence during the previous month,
while the Kafirs and Hottentots are spreading them-
selves through the eastern provinces, and penetrating
settlements previously considered secure from danger.
Just previous to the departure of the steamer news
reached the Cape of an attack upon some English,
between Fort Beaufort and Graham's Town, when
live were killed by the rebel Hottentots. Strong
patrols were sent out immediately, but with what
success is not known.
It appears that while Sir Harry Smith has been
checking an enemy on the frontier, the Kafirs ano
Hottentots have been invading and pillaging the in-
terior.

Our correspondent at the Cape, under date Aug. 1,
From what I can learn, Major Warden ha
been defeated in the Sovereignty, the Kafirs are
within five miles of Uitenhage, and the war, conse-
quently, in the heart of !he colony."
About the -20th of July, on the return of a patrol
under Colonel Mitchell, from Kieskamma, they were
unsuccessfully attacked by Seyolo, who stated thA
as he had lost his country and cattle, he did not desire
peace. The news from Kreli is pacific, and he pro-
fesses to have discovered his error. Sandilli is said

to be dejected, and to be contemplating removal be-
yond the Kye. Pato continues attached to British

tprests.

No further supply of troops had reached the Cape
subsequent to the arrival of the Vulcan, but the Go-
vernment dispatche., forwarded by the Hellespont,
were sent to the frontier by her Majesty's steamer
Hermes, which was provided with sufficient furl to
go on to the Mauritius, where there are spare troops.
On the 25th of July, during a strong northerly
gale, the merchant ship Vimeira, Lawson master,
parted from her anchors and went ashore in Table
thy; crew saved. O❑ the 29th the brig Fanny,
Bristow, parted from her anchors in Table thy during
a N.E. gale, and ran ashore under the battery; crew
saved ; all the cargo expected to be saved. On the
19th the William Foster, from Table Bay to Algoa
Bay, struck on Cape Receife, and immediately went
to pieces ; crew and passengers saved. The fine ship
Randolph, 700 tons, belonging to Duncan Dunbar,
from Calcutta, with Coolies, was lost on a reef off the
Mauritius ; one passenger, Lieutenant Scott, two
seamen, and 27 Coolies drowned. _

Her Majesty's steamer Alecto, which arrived at
Sierra Leone about the 12th, was left there on the
18th of August, and her Majesty's ship Dolphin was
signalled on the 18th, standing into the river. The
Birkenhead and the Cyclops called at Sierra Leone,
with troops for the Cape, all well. The rainy season
was nearly over, and Sierra Leone generally healthy.
The Brazilian mail steamer Tay left St. Vincent,
Aug. 24, at noon, for Pernambuco, Rio, and Bahia.
Her Majesty's steamer Dover, having on board the
Governor of Gambia, was at anchor at St. Vincent
when the Hellespont left. The Cyclops, Sydon, and
Retribution touched at St. Vincent, on their way to
the Cape, with troops.
Spoke on Passage—Aug. 25, in lat. 19.20 N.,

mail-packet Bosphorus, Captain Hall, bound to St.

the Cap,. of Good Hope , July 22, in let. 32.45 S.,

for Barbadoes; Sept. 7, in lat. 48.15 N., long. 10.40

tinople.

The Hellespont brings passengers from the Cape :
Mr. and Mrs. Serrurier, Mr. and Mrs. Rice Jones,
Mrs. Joseph and child, Lieutenant Barnes, 73d
Regiment ; Mr. Greig, Mr. Baker, Mr. Maurice, and
Mr. Joseph; from Sierra Leone, M. Dury and Mr.
Lewis. Her cargo consists of wool, golddust, hides,
skins, aloes, wines, and gold specie to the value of
2,0001.

The mails, in charge of Commander Robertson,
R.N., were landed after the departure of the Bristol
train ; the letters will be sorted in Plymouth, and
sent on by the London mail train at 6.40 rM.
Beside mails from the Cape, Sierra Leone, St. Vin-
cent, and the Gambia, there are bags from her Ma-
jesty's ships Flying Fish, Niger, Sampson, Archer,
Prometheus, Penelope, Harlequin, Alecto, Castor,
Dover, Sidon, Retribution, Birkenhead, and Cyclops.
The Hellespont left Plymouth on the 15th of June,
and arrived at the Cape on the 24th of July, at 6 A.M.,
having made the passage in 38i- days. The home-
ward passage occupied 40 days. She did not require
coal at Sierra Leone, but it is said was detained there
43 hours for the Governor to write dispatches. In
consequence of this detention she did net reach St.
Vincent until after the arrival of the Tay, when both
vessels having to coal at the same time, each lost 18
hours through the limited staff at the island. A
passenger says the Hellespont lost 61 hours through
the Governor of Sierra Leone, whose want of dispatch
is contrasted strongly with the alacrity of the colonial
officer at the Cape, who delayed the steamer only two
hours after the receipt of important paper; from the
Commander-in-Chief.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
CAPE TOWN, AUG. 1.
The most important events that have narked the
progress of the past month are, on the whose, of a very
unfavourable nature.

A combined attack on the Amatolas, hough suc-
cessful, has driven the enemy into the colcay, where
they have committed the most frightful ravages.
Whole districts have been laid completely waste.
A short summary of the military operSions, and
other intelligence from the seat of war, since the de-
parture of the last steamer, will be found below.
The native levies, whose term of service has ex-
pired, have declined to remain longer in the feld, have
been disbanded. This reduces the force in iafirland
by upwards of 1,500 men.
Orders have been issued for raising a force of 1,090
volunteers, but it is very doubtful whether anything
like that number will be obtained.
The cheering intelligence of reinforcemen:s from
England, now hourly expected, has had a most bene-
ficial effect in raising the spirits of those in tae ex-
posed districts, as well as the forces in the field.
Her Majesty's, steamer Hermes started for East
London on the 25th ult , whence she proceeds to the
Mauritius for her Majesty's 12th Regiment, vhose
services have been placed at the disposal of the Coln-
_

mander-in-Chief.
Her Majesty's steamer Rhadarnanthus arrived on
the 4th ult., after a long passage of nearly tiree
months, with stores, ammunition, and 100,0001. in

specie.
From the Orange River sovereignty the intelli-
gence is important, and of a nature calculated to
cause considerable alarm. Major Warden, the d`. to
Resident, in endeavouring to quell some disturbances
between the native chiefs has suffered a repulse. In in
action on the 30th of June the British troops were
forced to retire, and Moroko, our ally, is stated to
have lost upwards of 130 men. Major Warden wcs
preparing for a combined movement, at the head d
3,000 men, against the enemy, on the 20th ult.; but
all the regular force at his disposal does not exceed
170 men, principally of the 45th Regiment and Cape
Corps.
From Natal the news up to the 2Gth ult. is, how-
ever, favourable. The colony was perfectly quiet ;
the Zooloo contingent had been disbanded, and the
natives were returning to their work. A small force
of volunteers had been raised, and was waiting orders
from Sir Harry Smith. The collection of the native
taxes was going on without the least interruption.

FRONTIER AFFAIRS.
The latest intelligence from the seat of war on the
departure of the last mail was, that Sir IL Smith
was preparing for a combined movement of the two
divisions of the army, under General Somerset and
Colonel Mackinnon, against the enemy in the Ama-
toles. This was carried into effect on the 26th of
June ; their operations continued until the 30th, and
were attended with signal success. 2,200 head of
cattle fell into the hands of the troops, and the enemy
was driven with considerable loss from one of his
strongest positions. The casualties on our side were,
one sergeant and eight rank and file killed. Lieut.
Bruce, 74th Highlanders ; Captain Melville, of the
levies, and 17 rank and file wounded (2 mortally). On
the 2d General Somerset continued his operations in the
Amatolas, and succeeded in driving the enemy from
some of his favourite fastnesses. Sir Harry, however,
warned the colonists in the general order that a result
of this successful movement might be the dispersion of
the defeated Kafirs in small marauding parties with-
in the colony, where they become most formidable,
and fearfully has his Excellency's prediction been
verified, for although General Somerset was directed
immediately to establish posts along the line of the
exposed districts to prevent the incursion, the ravages
they committed before this could be done, owing to
the small force at his disposal, have been frightful.
It appears that Macomo, with the Kafirs and rebel
Hottentots who were routed out of the Amatolas,
crossed the upper "sprints" of the Konap, and thence'
precipitated themselves on the colony ; and before
they could be checked by a sufficient force the pro-
perty swept off and destroyed was immense. It is
stated that the whole of the fine tract of country
watered by the Barisans, the Kaga, the Konap, and the
Kat rivers is devastated ; the dwellings of the inha-
bitants are laid in ashes, while not less, it is affirmed,
than 20,000 Merino sheep, 3,000 head of cattle, and
300 horses have been swept oway by the enemy
