Extract of a letter from an English traveller, now In
the interior, to D. P. Taylor, Esq. Cape Town, Notary
Public, dated 19th May s—s• I remained several days at
the Moravian settlement of the Witte Rivier, and found
great pleasure by the delay. This institution promises
to be the most flourishing one in the colony ; the natural
advantages it possesses are superior to those of Guadendal
itself; and although the water is not so plentiful, there
is a sufficiency, and the lack of abundance is mare than.
compensated by the superior fertility of the soil; and it
is almost incredible what the indefatigable and truly
devoted Missionaries have done, since the devastatioc
made hereby the Caffres duting the late war. They
have raised the water, by the means of a simple hy-
alraulic machine, to the height of twenty feet ; and in a
comparatively short period, through their- quiet and,
persevering induitry, a wilderness has been converted,
into a beautiful and productive garden : they have liked
wise provided themselves against any futureezigenciest
the smiths and carpenters' slsops have been so ereved
as to serve the purpose of a fortification, capable of
being defended against any body of Cadres. The
Hottentot children at school read much better than
those belonging to the Boors, and present an inteTesting
view of what Christian education produces. I returned.
yesterday from visiting Bethelsdorp and Port Elizabeth:
the progress made by the children in the Sunday school
of the former is highly creditable to their teachers ; Wit
I have nowhere seen such a vast expense laid out in
building, upon a place so little adapted for a Missionary
Institution. The Missionaries stem to consider its tteri.
iny as an advantage; this is quite beyond my coml.' e-
!tension. Port Etizpeth, if the privilege; of a free port
are granted, will, at no very distant petiod, prove an,
interesting and flourishing town. It contain; about 2,000
persons, is the only EngLibir•built place, in the colony,.
and the whole wears a homely and British appearance.
But there is no Church, and this fact tends to corrobo-
rate the charge of fereigners, of the remissness of the
English as to their religion, when they leave the home
of their fathers."

CADIZ, AUGUST

The letters which we received to-day from Seville,
dated the 7th inst. bring the following details:—
" A great fermentation prevails in all the towns of
Upper Andalusia, but particularly at Cordova, Carmona,
&I P', and Seville. Ia the first of these cities numerous
arrests toc,k place on the night Of the 6th, all of persons
distutguis!ted by their .rank or theit riches. It should
seem, however', that these arrests :►re founded on mo-
tives of great importance, for on the .sth they began
at Seville, and have been continued every night. Among
the persons arrested, who already amount to 189, are
the Marchioness de Tabires and her whole family, the
P.ipr of the Consulate of Commeice Andueza, the rich
merchants Bayo and Googora.
" But what is remarkable is, that the arrests extend
to persons of all opinions, such as Liberals, Carlists, and
Roalists, and of all classes, as monks, cations, mer-
chants, 'shopkeepers, tailors, shoemakers, apothecaries,'
and bptebers, These arrests are, it seems, to be con-
tinued ; for the prisons and the former house of the In-
quisition being full, the Intendant of Police has written
letters to the Priors of all thp convents 'to clear arid
place at his disposal as many cells as possible. Seals
have been affixed on the houses of several of the per-
sons arrested."

MADRID, AUGUST 15.

An extraordinary Junta is to be held this week at St.
Ildefonso, to consider of what is to be done. Things have
come to that pass, that there is no goiri4 on any longer ;
and the governor! altogether are at their wits' end. The
whole of the Ministers, the Duke del Infantado, Ge-
neral Castanos, Villella, &c. in all about sixteen of the
highest rank and influence at Court, are cited to at•
tend. General Crux seems to take the lead, and will
direct the proceedings.
The King is said to be distracted at the affairs of the
nation, every day bringing forth some fresh calamity,
and every step taken seems but chalking up an addi-
tional mark to the score of wrong.
His Majesty, however, of his own free will, has just
pot down one to the account of right, in refusing to re-
establish the Inquisition, which the priesthood had re-
presented as indispensable to the wetl-being of the mo-
narchy, and had of late become one of the chief topics
of conversation. On the heel of this refusal has come
up a dismal account of the arrest of more than one
hundred and fifty persons at Seville—the richest in-
habitants of the place—priests, friars, officers, mer-
chants, proprietors, itc.
That real disturbances will take place, and all over
the country, is very likely, now that the military com
missions are suppressed. Though devoid of justice or
commiseration, cruel and sanguinary, yet they struck
terror into the people—kept them in some sort of sub-
jection, and more tranquil than could have been ex-
pected, considering the desperate situation of all. As-
sassinations and robberies will now be more frequent
than ever.
A strong desire has been manifested to-suppress the
police too, and the object is evident. The police is one
of the best institutions possible. There is a security in
Madrid never felt before. Parties of horse and fort
patrol the streets during the nigfit constantly, and are
very effective in preventing crimes.
The penury augments daily. The Treasurer-General
has felt himself under the necessity of pointing out the
folly of the plans of the Minister of Finance, conceived,
no doubt, with the best feelings, but the results of them
are, that nothing comes into the Treasury. or is likely
to come in, and credit is entirely lost. Formerly his
own signature would relieve him from all temporary
embarrassments. It was With the extremest difficuliy
,20,000 L could be scraped together to send to Paris for
the last half-year's interest due on Guebhard's Loan.
If the next half-year gets paid it must be by miracle.
Every public establishment, is in a state of ruin ;
their funds have constantly been absorbed by the

_ -
report upon the expediency of continuing the charter,
or dissolving the society. The independent members
of the Junta are resolved upon telling the Government,
that if their capital is restored to them, and a pledge of
its not being demanded back, their privileges granted
(me day and not broken the next, their charter should
by all means be continued ; but if it is meant to rob
them of what little they have left, and annul their pri-
vileges at pleasure, it had better be dissolved.
The object of the Minister seems to be to provide
for the expenses of the day, leaving to-morrow rn take
care of itself; so that the people in the Palace, and the
guards are paid, all the rest seems indifferent.
The assembling of a large French force from Bay-
onne to Perpignan, has been of late a great field of
discourse ; in fact, nothing is talked of in the Tertulias
but Inquisition, finance, and the French. The number
. .

of French in the country are greater than generally sup-
posed, and stronger garrisons are to relieve the pre-
sent ones. Calis is very strongly fortified, as also
Barcelona and Carthagena; the east coast they pay great
attention to. It would be absurd to repeat everything
;that is conjectured. Some say the French are to put
in force. the Duke d'Angouleme's famous Andajar
Decree, or Ferdinand's SOth of September pledge, or to
put down the strong patty in favour of Charles V. It
is said that gold and silver coin with his effigy has been
shewn at Court; and that the brothers, in consequence,
are on bad terms; _ _ _

The intended enforcement of the civil contribution of
Luc per cent, in Arragon and Navarre creates a great
ferment in those provinces ; hitherto they never have
paid it ; they have returned to their ancient laws, and
they protest against innovation. This is the reason of
Quesada's drawing troops after him, and perhaps one
reason that the French are on the frontiers to assist in
putting down a revolt.
lieutenant-Colonel Seben, the Secretary, who repre-
sented against the good and moderate Iseeue,la, has
been arrested. This is the reward, and a just one, for
zeal like his. Colonel Minio, who, after Ittego's death,
declared he had saved the King's life, when the other
had commissioned him to make away with him, and for
which he claimed to be Duke of Nebaija, and the grant
of a competent estate, has also been thrown into prison.
The last mail for Italy on leaving this was stopped
by order of Government about a league off; the cor-
respondence with certain addresses was taken out, and
the rest proceeded.

The Ulster 'hieing directed that no inhabitants of Stockport

The Avoaasr-Ganeasis. stated the case for the prosecution, and
called the following witnfsses to subsiantiate
Catherine Sands, e;amined by Mr. J. WILLIAMS—I
am the wire of John Sands, and live at Edgeley, sear
Stockpo.t. I kiiew Margaret Trevor, 'the deceased,
Who jived about a mile from me. I saw her en the
evening of Friday, the 12th of August, about half-past
eight o'clock. She left my house at that time to go
home. Her house was not in a direction leading to,
but from Stockport. Her road led through Holly
Wood. When she left me she appeared to be in per-
fect health. She' was a Roman Catholic. I do not
know the prisoner. She was dressed in a light-co-
loured short bed-gown, and a light shawl. She had
on a black bOnriet. I cannot speak to the colour of
her petticoats or of her apron. I believe the apron was
a light-Coloured one. I recollect nothing more part%
.
cular of her dress. • • • _

Janies Fitzpatrick, examined by Mr. Arroanzt.
GENERAL—I live at Heaton Norris, near Stockport,
and lodged on the 12th of August last at the same
house with the prisoner. I had been with the prisoner
that *evening at Newbridge in Petty Carr, Stockport,
hut I separated from him between seven 'and eight
o'clock. I saw him next at 20 minutes past nine
o'clock, in the house where we lodged. I was in bed
when he came to me. James Buckley, who lodged
with us, was also in bed at that time. The prisoner
asked me to get up, because he believed there was
a woman neatly murdered in Holly Wood. I asked
him if it were true ? as I believed at first that he was
making fun of me. He said that it was true. I asked
Buckley to ket up: He didso, and so did I. We
put on our clothes. The prisoner was dressed in a blue
coat, blue waistcoat, and fustian trowsers, and white
striped linen apron. He was dressed so when I ',arta
with him, between seven and eight o'clock. When We
had dressed ourselves, we went down stairs, and got
a lantern and-candle; we lighted the candle, and then
went out over 11 inksway.bricfge. We met ,a man,
whom I do not know, when we got halfway over the
bridge. The prisoner spoke to him, and asked him to
come with us? telling him that a woman had been
murdered in Holly Wood. This was the first man
whom we met; he refused to accdmpany us. We then
went to a shop kept by a man of the name of
Brookes: it is the first house over the bridge, and,
indeed, the first house we came to after leaving our
own. The house in which Hive is on a different side
of Holly Wood from that in•which the Catholic priest
lives. When we got to Brookes's house, we saw
Brookes himself, and a man of the name of John Hari.
lam. We asked them to come with us to Holly Wood.
I spoke to them, but the prisoner was present. Han.
lam went with us up to the wood. Brookes would
not. We met nobody else on the road. On reaching
the wood, we quitted the road, got over a gate, and
went into a field below the wood. The prisoner then
led us to the place where the deceased lay. S'le was
lying immediately below the wood, and close to the
hedge which skirts it. There is no path from the
; road to that place. We foand the deceased lying on
her side. She was then living, but insensible. can-
