Accounts have been received to the 26th of February,
from the Cape of Good Hope. There had been some inter.
esting debates in the Legislature respecting an accession of
labour, and the superiority .of European over native
or negro services, was strongly contended for by the
leading members. The following is from a com-
munication, dated Colesburg, in the new settlement
of Natal :—" This little village was thrown into consi-
derable excitement, from a report having been spread
that the emigrant farmers were on the road to Philippolis, to
attack Adam Kok, in consequence of his having apprehended
and surrendered up to the colonial authorities Hermanus Van
Staader, who murdered George Mills, a British trader in the
chief's territory, and but a few miles from Philippolis, and
who, it was said, saw the emigrants in large numbers pro-
ceeding to Philippolis, and the clouds of dust occasioned by
their movement ; and shortly after leaving Philippolis, heard
the report of guns in that direction ; that this individual had
gone Ito Phi!ippolis to warn the Griquas of their danger, and
then rode off for Colesburg. The Civil Commissioner, it is
said, immediately communicated with the commanding
officer of the 91st Regiment to 'be iu readiness, should their
services be required ; and it was thought they
would have marched early the following morning
to the Orange River, the boundary of the colony,
to prevent any inroad the emigrants might at-
tempt. However, no report from the chief was received by
the Civil Commissioner—consequently it would have been
extremely absurd to make such a demonstration upon ,the
mere vague report of an individual, unauthenticated by any
other evidence. The Civil Commissioner sent an express CO
Philippolis to hear the result of the attack ; but I believe re-
ceived for answer that it had not taken place, but he had
heard that some farmers at Modder River (about 200 miles
off) were said to be preparing."
The farmers of the Bechuana country had given in their
submission to the Government. As theammber of the native
tribes in the Natal settlement is very large, it is stated that
some steps will be necessary for their protection against the
increasing immigration, and as food is scarce, they must be
early taught methods of cultivation.
We have had some rather important arrivals of provisions
from Australia within the last week or two, chiefly consisting
of mutton-hams, tongues, &c., and it is considered some-
what strange that so little is heard of these articleS by the
general consumers, that, up to the present time, the sugges-
tion thrown out by many influential free traders,
.for the es,
tablishment of shops to retail foreign provisions exclusively,
since the regular dealers seem disinclined to enter into the
trade, should not have been yet carried ont.
The Stock Market is rather flat to-day, and Consols have
receded to 99k to 99k, both for Money and Account. The
Commissioners have made their purchase at 99k. The un-
funded debt is supported at the advanced premium of 755. to
775. East India Bonds are 925. premium. Bank Stock re-
alises 196 k, and India Stock 2891. The New Three. and-a-
Half per Cents. have been 103 k to 102 k, the Reduced 102 k to
102, and the Three per Cents. 99k to 98k.
There have been sales making in Spanish Three per
Cent. Stock, which, acting upon a passive market, have led
to a decline in prices to 36k and 364 k, so that the advance
of yesterday, which had, in fact, no sound basis, has been
lost. The Five per Cents. have been 25a to French
Three per Cents. are 84, and Belgian 1041 to k, being steady.
Mexican Stock is rather flat at 35g. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per . Cents. have been firm at 60& to 61, and the Five per
Cents. are IoN to ft, the conversion plan being looked upon
as favourable.

The Railway Shares in general are firm. Birmingham
and Gloucester have improved to 7* to Wdiscount ; Bristol
and Exeter to 41 and 5 premium ; Great Western to 38 ; and
Birmingham to 1291 premium. The French lines continue
rather in favour of the buyers. Brighton are steady. Man-
chester and Birmingham are again higher, and Croydon are
firm.
