THE SUN,

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE,

We have received Cape Town papers to the 15th of
April last, bringing us intelligence from the seat of war
one week later than that published in The Sun of Satur-
day. No further military movements of any consequence
had taken place down to the Bth of April.
The intelligence from head-quarters is so far satisfac-
tory, that there now appears no doubt but that Pato will
remain faithful to his English allies. Ile had returned
a decided answer to Kreli, and had declared his fixed de-
termination not to engage in the war, requesting that no
more messages might be sent to him on the subject. He
had also taken steps to keep open and protect the road
from East London to King William's Town. No move-
ments whatever seem to have taken place amongst the
troops since last report. But Umhala, it is said, had de-
clared his willingness to join Kreli in the war. It was
the doubt entertained of the fidelity of the Slambie
chiefs which had prevented the Governor from leaving
King William's Town, and forming a camp in the heart
of Sandilli's country.
The correspondent of the Frontier Times states that
his Excellency has written home for tour regiments, and
expects a reply by the steamer which is to arrive in this
month. Those best acquainted with the true state of
affairs say that his Excellency has thus taken the most
proper course for putting a speedy end to the war, as
well as for impressing the British Government with a
sense of the magnitude of the difficulties against which
Sir H. Smith has to contend.
Another fatal accident had happened at the Buffalo
Mount. Seven seamen, belonging to her Majesty's ship
Castor, perished by the upsetting of two surf-boats.
The Cape Town Mail of the 15th April contains the
following remarks relative to the inactivity of the Com-
mander-in-Chief:—
" The intelligence from the 'seat of war ' confirms the
views which had been previously entertained of the
causes of that inactivity of the Commander in-Chief,
which has been so much complained of. It is
plain that no dependence can be placed upon
the Levies. As auxiliaries they might, and pro-
bably would, be very useful and efficient; but, as consti-
tuting the main body of an army, they are all bet
useless. It is now affirmed that the Levies under Major
Wilmot refused to enter the bush' in which the Kafirs
had taken refuge. They would not face them (the
Kafirs),' says the correspondent of the Frontier Times,
• and there was no European force there to lead teem
on.' This fact, it should be observed, renders the suc-
cess which Major Wilmot achieved so much the more
creditable to that gallant and skilful officer, who, with
such an indifferent force, was able to inflict a severe
blow upon the enemy, without losing a man of his own
party."
Sandilli had ordered the cattle, about 300 head, taken
from Mr. Brownlee'e station, to be returned, stating
that he was not fighting with Kafirs, but with the Go-
vernment.
The Governor had restored their arms to 118 of the
disbanded Cape Mounted Rifles, their good conduct hav-
ing been guaranteed by old and staunch non-commis-
sioned officers; and, as it is said, everything promising
that they will be faithful to the British cause.
Native rumours were abroad in Kefirland to the effect
that the common Kafirs were clamorous for the cessa-
tion of hostilities—having, as they say, lost so many
men. It is also affirmed that Sandilli had directed his
people to drive their cattle to the highest parts of the
Amatolas--indicatinet' either alarm or the expectation of
a movement by the British forces apon their mountain
holds.
The information from General Somerset's division is
to the effect that its movement upon Shiloh was for the
present in abeyance, the troops being halted in a good
position in the basin of the Kat River. A dispatch had
been received by General Somerset from the Comman-
der-in-Chief directing him not to move forward, most
probably arising from the attempt made by Kreli to
induce Pato to withdraw from the British cause. The
enemy, conjoint Hottentots and Kafirs, are in great
force in the mountain fastnesses of the Kat Berg, Bland's
Berg, and the Churnie—thus presenting a most difficult
front to the colonial troops, at the same time having the
whole extent cf the Amatola to retire upon in the event
of having their position forced in the first instance. An
express had reached Fort Hare from Shiloh, with the
intellgence that a burgher force of 400 men had assembled
at that point, and praying General Somerset to co-ope-
rate with them. It is understood that General Somerset
had dispatched Captain Brumley to meet the burgher
commandant, and to concert with him as to future
movements.
It appears that seven men have been drowned at the
Buffalo Mouth. A boat upset with some men who were
attempting to land, and a whale-boat was sent out to
their assistance. This also upset, and seven persons
found a watery grave.
Mr. Renton, a minister of the Scottish Secession
Church, who had been deputed to visit and inspect the
missions of that Church in South Africa, had been very
ill received upon his arrival at Graham's Town.
The following particulars are related in the Cape
Town Mail, which had been received from their cor
respondent at Graham's Town, dated the Bth of April

GRAND NATIONAL ARCHERY MEETING
This—the most distinguishing feature in the pro-
gramme of our summer amusements—THE EVENT, par
eacedence of the season—has excited the moat intense
interest among the various Toxopholite SoCieties of the
three kingdoms, from the leading members of which
letters have been received containing very gratifying
assurances of their support, and their heartiest wishes
for the signal success of the great gathering which takes
place on the 25th and 26th instant. These circumstances,
and, indeed, the novel and highly attractive character of
the file, justify the most sanguine hopes; and when we
are confidently assured, on good authority, that the self-
same spirit which pervades the great mass of our nobility
and gentry, and prompts them to rally round the bow-
men of their native Arden upon this auspicious occasion,
manifests itself to a very large extent amongst the aris-
tocratic circles of every other county wheerever the
ancient institution of archery is practised and encouraged,
we cannot for a moment doubt its commanding the most
brilliant success. Each of the Toxopholite Societies,
which contain some of the most skilful bowmen in
the kingdom, will, doubtless, in imitation of the Royal
Edinburgh Archers, who formed the body-guard of
honour to their Sovereign when she last visited Scotland,
have a queen of their own election, to guard in safety
through the forest of Arden, and each queen her maids of
honour, respectively tendered by archers bold, each ready
to draw his "cloth yard shaft," at her bidding; if so
we shall indeed have a goodly array of " naerrie men,"
and a bevy of beauteous maidens, attired in Lincoln
green, together with a long train of attendant damsels
in costumes

gathered from all parts of the three kingdoms; so that
for those prizes which the committee so judiciously bold
out fur competition among female toxopholites generally,
we sincerely hope there will be found no lack of can-
didates who, fired with emulative spirit will enter
the lists on the occasion, and boldly join in an amuse-
ment in which, if there is any reliance to be placed
in clasAc lore, they ought to excel; for in their
hands the bow is a formidable weapon, and a grace-
ful accomplishment. The preliminary arrange-
ments already made for this splendid gathering
are on a princely scale, and some of them will indeed
be calculated to impart to the spectacle an effect which
will perfectly harmonize not only with the nationality of
the title which it assumes, but with many of the accesso-
ries connected wi,h the exercise of this noble pastime of
a by-gone age. We have just been informed that, up to
this time, the officials find that not less than forty tar-
gets will be pitched for gentlemen and six for ladies;
and that this number will, doubtless, be more or less in-
creased. We again repeat then our conviction that this

PRESENT STATE OF KAFIRLAND.
(Correspondence of Frontier Times.)
I have little news to give you for the past week, as,
in military matters, it has been one of inactivity. On
Tuesday, at one, A.M., a large patrol was to have marched
to Murray's Krantz, where the Kafirs had a number of
cattle, but it was countermanded late on Monday even-
ing, in consequence of information from the Slambie
commissioner that the cattle had been removed from
thence, and that it was no use sending out the patrol.
It is reported that the Kafirs have removed nearly the
whole of their cattle out of Kafirland; this betokens weak •
ness on their part, in the dread of not being able to pro-
tect them in their own country. Up to last week San-
dilli's orders were for all the cattle to be kept at
their respective kraals on pain of forfeiture, so their
being removed argues a flinching, or disinclination to
stand any more pitched battles for them. It is well if
such a panic has seized the Kafirs, for the present lethargy
of the authorities here is doing little to produce it. We
have now entered the fourth month of the war—
notices of the marchings and counter-marchings
of the gallant army of 6,000 men bespatter the
pages of frontier history, and if we except the
heroic deeds of the gallant bands at Fort Armstrong
and Whittlesea, with some like acts of smaller parties
in the colony, what has been the result? The enemy
is neither humbled nor subdued. The difficulties his
Excellency has had to encounter in the rebellion of the
Hottentots have no doubt been great, but great straits
produce corresponding efforts in great minds; not so,
however, in our present Governor; he seems paralysed,
not knowing whether to move to the right hand or the
left. Something might surely be done with a force of
4,000 men to prevent the Kafirs from reaping their
luzuriaut crop of Kafir corn, now all but ripe. They
have already secured a large portion of the Indian corn,
and the supplies thus secured will enable them to hold
out over the winter.
"It is known that four Kafirs were killed by Mr.
James Brownlee and his party last Friday—one a son
of Umfundise—and nine wounded.
" Upwards of sixty waggons are continuously em-
ployed, transporting commissariat and other Govern-
ment stores from East London to King William's Town.
" The 300 Fort Peddie Fingoes left this on Thurs-
day evening, as they wished to return, taking with there
400 head of cattle and about 3004 in money, as the
fruits of their three months' campaigning; 300 or 400
of those now at Fort Peddie are expected to supply
their place.
" The money realised from the sale of captured cattle
has been divided amongst the troops and levies attached
to the 2d division, each N.C.O. and private receiving
about 7s.
" The fact is, we are at present in a more critical posi-
tion than we were two months ago. As I informed you,
Sir Harry is afraid to leave this and form a camp in the
heart of Sandilli's country, owing to the wavering posi-
tion of that treacherous chief Umhala. Kreli, as I told
you, is also very doubtful. Pato as yet behaves con-
sistently. Sir Harry, in fact, does not know what move
to make; it is of no use patrolling any more, as all the
cattle have been removed further inland, but to remain
idle is reprehensible. Are you aware that his Excel-
lency has written home for four regiments, and that he
expects a reply by the steamer due the end of April?
This accounts in some measure for the present inactivity,
as the levies he has got are by no means efficient. The
patrol with Wilmot, Davies' men, would not enter the
bush, where it was known there were lots of Kafirs. k
was afterwards known that Umfundise was there with
about 300 Kafirs, and that they must have been routed
with great loss, but the Hottentots would not face them,
and there was no European force there to lead them on
Altogether I can assure you matters have a very unpro.
raising appearance."

LONDON,

THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
The second flower show of this society took place on
Saturday in the grounds at Chiswick, and the fineness
of the day attracted an immense number of visitors.
The grounds were in excellent order, and the display of
fruits and flowers extremely rich and varied. In con •
sequence of the large additional contributions in these
departments, several new tents were erected; and one of
the new features of the show, the American garden, in
which the rhododendrons and all the other American
flowering shrubs are collected, attracted much attention.
An immense space of ground has been covered with can-
vass at the back of the large conservatory, and here Mr.
Hosea Waterer has brought together a very attractive
and interesting display of these flowers. The bands of
the Coldstream, Royal Horse Guards, and Ist Life
Guards were, as usual, in attendance, and contributed
to the enjoyment of the visitors. Among the company
we observed his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, the
Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, her Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Orleans, the Duchess of Sutherland,
the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, Lord and Lady Blan-
tyre, the Marquis of Winchester, the Marquis of Tweed-
dale, Lord John and Lady Russell, the Bishop of Win-
chester, the Earl of Ilchester, Lord Rolle, Lord Sondes,
Lady Grosvenor, Sir Philip and Lady Egerton, the Hon.
Mr. Strangwayes, the Hon. Mr. Dighy, and a large
