QUARTER TO THREE.
There are in the advices from the Cape of Good Hope
some serious subjects for reflection. The British colo-
nists complain that the settlement at Natal has
too long been suffered to remain in its pre-
sent anomalous position, and that energetic measures
are absolutely necessary, • in order to bring emigrants to
a proper understanding with her ,Majesty's Colonial au-
thorities, and to prevent their encroachments on the
Caffres, who might resent' it on the British borderers.
The very limited extent of our commerce with various
foreign parts, where under a more liberal system of
commercial policy, we might, perhaps have an
excellent opening for-,---our trade, is shown
in the returns before us of the shipping movements
at the port of Bayonne during the past year. The num-
ber of vessels entered with cargo there was 308 of 18,144
tons, and in ballast 217 of 8,400 tons. Of this large number
a single vessel only bore the English flag, while 248
were French, a good number Spanish, &c. The vessels
sailed werAl2 of 2,867 tons, of which 316 were French,
and one of 110 tons English.

SERVED RIGHT.—In consequence of the late
disputes on the subject, a new order of precedence, under
manual, had been received at Calcutta
for
re Qeethuecniv's sign
civil and military services of India. This docu-
ment had created some sensation in the Indian bar, in
consequence of the total omission therefrom of the Ad-
vocates-General of the Presidencies ; the controversies of
some of whose wives are said to have led to the order
being issued.—Herald.

About 1,000 persons, among whom were several mem

were about 500, and in the Regents-park 400 or 500 per-
sons on the ice. One or two immersions took place, but
no serious accident.

DICISCELMANEOUS.
The King of Prusssa embarks at Ostend for this coun-
try on Thursday next, whither the Chevalier Bunsen

The order of the Knights of the Golden Spur, the pri-
vilege of creating which has been exercised in Rome by
the Sforza family co-ordinately with the Sovereign-Pon-
tiff for the last three centuries, has just been abolished
by Papal brief, without any previous notice or reason
assigned to the present Duke.
A decision has just been given in the Court of Queen's
Bench, Ireland, which will carry alarm into many a
family. All marriages in Ireland, celebrated by Presby-
terian ministers, where both pities are not Presby-
terians, are declared invalid. ale Presbyterians in
Ulster amount to upwards of 606,000, and we understand
nothing was more common than the celebration of mar-
riages between Presbyterians and the members of other
comm unities by Presbyterian ministers.
The Mayor of Bath, in a letter addressed to the Morn-
ing Post, respecting the
,rumoured accident at Combe
Down, says he has every reason to believe that the com-
munication was made by an unfortunate gentleman in-
curably deranged. He thinks the handwriting and sig-
nature bear a strong resemblance to those of the lunatic,
who had been for some time in a madhouse, but where
he is now the Mayor cannot tell.

to blue, and it finally exploded into fraginents, some as
large as golf-balls, and others like rain-drops.:
