CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Cape of Good Hope journals, to the 18in Novem-
ber inclusive, hare reached us. Tranquillity pre-
vailed on the frontier, and the Kafirs exhibited the
apparent disposition to live in peace under the mild
government of Sir H. Smith; but many p°rsons en-
tertained the notion that as soon as his Excellency
should have returned home some attempts would be
made to effect an outbreak. A proclamation had been
issued by command of Sir H. Smith, stating that the
Chief Sandilli having failed to appear at the late
meeting, or to account satisfactorily for his absence ;
" now be it known that I hereby d-pose the said
Sandilli from his rank as a Chief, and that I appoint
Charles Brownlee, Esq., Commi-sioner for the Gaika
trihe, to assume the direct control of Sandilli's tribes
(whose loyalty I have no reason to doub'), under the
instructions of the Chief Commissioner of British
Kafraria, Colonel Mackinnors."
By a notice dated King William's Town, Nov. 6,
1850, and published by command of his Excellency
the Governor, it appears that a number of Gaika
Chiefs met his Excellency on the previous day and
acknowledged that Sandilli had deserved his punish-
ment—they would sot even attempt to justify him;
and Sutu, the mother of Sandilli, who was also pre-
sent, said " he was not fit to be any longer a chief."
Superintendent Davies, of the Kafir police, re-
ported that he had succeeded in apprehending a Kafir
named Umtyopo, who had for some time past busied
himself in spreading reports of an impending war
amongst the farmers in the neighbourhood of Fort
Beaufort. When sufficient evidence should have been
obtained to make out a case against this man his Ei-
cellency would deal with him in such a manner as to
prevent his again perpetrating mischief, and as would
serve as a warning to others.

His Excellency had called upon the inhabitants of
the frontier towns voluntarily to form themselves
into some sort of a mili.ia, for their defence, as in
the event of a Kafir invasion he would take all the
troops with him into Kafirland.
The Hon. W. Menzies, the first Puisine Judge,
died on the Ist November, and was buried on the
4th. R-ports stated that Mr. Rowley, the Registrar
of the Supreme Court, would succeed to the vacant
seat on the bench.

The first number of a new paper was published
on the Bth of November, called the Cape Monitor,
and is intended to support the Government interests
in opposition to the Radical party, headed by Mr.
Fairbairn and his political friends.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert has most
kindly yielded to the solicitations of the managers of the
Windsor and Eton Savings Bank, and has accepted the
honourary office of president of this institution, in succession
to the late Duke of Cambridge.

LORD MACDONALD.—A correspondent of the
Inverness Advertiser writes: —"Lord Macdonald hasexecutod
a trust-deed in favour of James Brown, Esq., accountant in
Edinburgh. It is understood that his debts, secured over his
properties in Skye and Uist, amount to upwards of 200,0001.
North Uist will not bring more than 80,0001. of that sum."
Scotsman.

To PREVENT TOOTHACHE.—Rub well the gums
with a hard tooth-brush, using the flowers of sulphur as a
tooth-powder, every night on going to bed, and if it is done
after dinner it will be best. This is an excellent preservative
for the teeth, and void of any unpleasant smell.—People's
Medical Journal.

" I shall be most happy," said an expiring husband
to his wife, who was weeping most dutifully by the bed. side,
" if you will only promise not to marry that object of my un-
ceasing jealousy, your cousin Charles." " Make yourself quite
easy, love," 'said the expectant widow, "I am engaged to
his brother."

The keenest abuse of our enemies will not hurt us
so much in the estimation of the discerning, as the inju-
dicious praise of our friends. —Eliza Cook's Journal.
Mr. Sirrell bas commenced legal proceedings
against Mr. Lund, of the metropolitan detective force, for
compensation for loss occasioned by reason of closing bis
premises.
CUSTOMS DEPARTMENT AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.
—The Board of Customs have by minute appointed the fol-
lowing gentlemen for special duty in Hyde-park during the
ensuing grand Industrial Exhibition : - Mr. Rolls, of the
Landing Surveyor's office, as chief; Mr. T. Fairman,
searcher, comptroller of accounts; and Mr. M. D. Crosbie,
chief clerk. A numerous staff of clerks, weighers, &c., will
also be connected with the department for the purpose of
examining the goods, &c., transmitted from'foreign coun-
tries. It is intended that the duties of the department shall
commence on Feb. 1.

ACCIDENT AT TUE EXHIBITION, HYDE-EARE.—
Yesterday an accident occurred at the building for the Ex-
hibition in Hyde-park to two of the glaziers, named J. Butt
and W. Greenlaw. The men were engaged at work on the
machine, or swinging stage; they were pitched out, and fell
with the scaffolding to the ground. They were conveyed to
St. George's Hospital, where it was ascertained that they had
received most extensive injuries, having struck and bounded
from girder to girder in the fall. They now lie in a very
dangerous state.
JOHN ROBINSON'S CASE.—In our last we reportei
the trial, at the recent Yolk Assizes, of John Robinson, mas-
ter of the Wadsley Bridge station, on a charge of felonious
assault, preferred Dy Miss Eliza Newton, of Foxhill. The
case had excited unusual public attention before the trial,
and it has been further increased by the circumstance that
Mr. Justice Patteson's remarks, in passing sentence, were in
direct contradiction to the finding of the jury, and confirma-
tory of the defence made by the prisoner from the moment
of his apprehension. We understand that the Learned
Judge, immediately after his return to London on Friday
last, dispatched a communication to Mr. Noble, the Governor
of York Castle, remitting that portion of the sentence which
imposed hard labour on the prisoner during his two years'
confinement. This change in the sentence will probably
lead to Robinson undergoing the period of his imprisonment
in York Castle instead of the Wakefield House of Correction.
It is intended to get up a memorial to Sir George Grey, Se-
cretary of State, for a commutation of the sentence. Sheffield
