lated respecting the resignation of Officers an.l men
in this Regiment of Yeomanry, are altogether erro-
neous. The Commissions which have become vacant

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—Extract of a letter from
1 Cape Town, dated August 28, 1819:-1Q The min?
of the Colonists will be greatly relieved from the
anxiety they have latterly felt for our comrades
the frontiers, by being acquainted, that the prepara-
tions, which had taken much time to make, having
at length been completed, Lieutenant-Colonel Wil
shire marched from Graham's Town on the 28th
last-month against the hostile tribes of 'TSambie,
Lynx, and Congo. The Lieutenant-Colonel divided
Vs force into three columns, in order to enter the
Caffre territory in the most convenient manner; Mr
yor Fraser, with .the right column, was directed
cross the Fish River at Trompetter's Drift, for
purpose of preventing the occupation, by the enemy
of the fastnesses in that direction; whilethe Landrost
of Graaff-Leinet, turning the Winterberg, entered
the Caffre country by the sources of the- Chumie
Mr. Stockenstrom having a great distance to march,
broke up from his encampment on the Baviaan'
River on the 22d July ; Major Fraser was to h.
crossed the botvidary on the 30th, the violent rains,
however, prevented his passing the river until. the
of the present month, when he effected this diffic
movement, and reached the Gwanga River on
4th. The weather has been particularly severe ;
wet, and has defeated the calculations of both
right And left columns of effecting their ;,anct
with Lieutenant-Colonel Willshire on the 2d'Augu,
at Pboonah's Kraal, on the Gaigai River, whi
place the Lieutenant-Colonel arrived at at the
pointed time. The Graaff-Reinet Burghers react,
Gaika's abandoned residence on the 30th of July,
and My. Stockenstrom having there gained intelli
gence, that 'TSambie had re-crossed the Kies-
kamma with his force, abandoning the banks
the Fish River, which he had so long occupied, n
the impression, that the Colonists would not commence
operations against them during the rainy sear
he moved with treat rapidity along the ridge of
high lands which command 'TSambie's residence
when, perceiving that these Kraals were abandonei
and believing that the intelligence he had recei:
might prove erroneous, he was preparing to proceed
to the appointed rendezvous, when his advanced
guard reported the Caffres to be discovered in 6.
numbers ; unfortunately, at this moment, the weather
(which had been long lowering) broke, and an
dating rain preventing his further operations on
day, hi was reluctantly forced to encamp on
skirts of a wood, in a situation which, he hr
would admit of his remaining, unperceived b
enemy ; in this, however, he was disappointed,
the Caffres surrounded him in the night with
numbers ; the sentinels gave the alarm, but the
kets were all wet, and he had only the bayonet
trust to ; but this, wielSed by meu upon whose '
very he could entirely depend, placed him
yond apprehension. The position, however,
Mr. Stockenstrom had chosen, must have appeared
to "TSambie too strong for attack, fur in lieu the
it appears, he suddenly crossed the Kieskamm
driving all his cattle before him, and made
old haunts on the Fish River, sending notice of
invasion to Lynx, and Congo, with instructic
them to join him. The weather did not permit
Stockenstrom to .follow until the 3d, when he
sued him by the traces, and came up with hii.
the edge of the Great Bush Country, above Tromi
ter's Drift, on the 4th. Here 'TSambie seemer
dined to stand, but whenMr.Stoc kenstrom's mai
came up, he again penetrated into the thickest..
almost impenetrable forests. In a deep cleft, hove,
a great number of them were discovered, and -
our undaunted Burghers descended almost apt
after them ; unfortunately a musket going off
cident, gave them notice of the approach
Graaff-Ileinetters, when they 'gave A dieadft
and with threats of destroying the whole
charged them; a determined fire from our
checked them, and they flew into the deepen
cesses of the woods, 'leaving sixty men deg
sides having had many wounded, who crept
fasrnesses. This pursuit established. the certain
Caffres being in the Fish River Forests, and
intelligence the Landrost of Graaff Reinet
the Commandant on the sth. Lieutenant.
Willshire immediately took the necessary
attackingsthem, but as the Graaff• Reinet
quired rest, after 18 days severe exposul
most inclement weather, no offensive operations
moment had taken place on the Bth, the date -
last dispatches ; Major Fraser had, however,
the Lieutenant-Colonel on .the 7th, after has,
a detachment of his Burghers into the woods,
fell in with a party of Caffres with cattle, six,
they killed, and took the convoy from them. .
accounts may be expected to be of the greatest . _
ante. We learn also, that 'TSambie has been.again
deavouring to. persuade Hiaza to join him, but
Chief is too well aware that his open count
calculated for his protection, and has peremptorily
refused tbe aid solicited.

•
a- Monday, a:numerous Meeting of Reformers took _ . -
le place at Knaresborough, about IS miles north of IA
,I
Leeds ; and being the \first which had been hold
y. there, It excited considerable curiosity. Mr. TROMP. . .
sore was called to the Chair ; and Mr. Mits.'', itt . •
hi Leeds, addressed the multitude, in a speech of eon- -
hi siderable length, in which he went over most of the
,;; old topics, and particularly urged his hearers to *- - - .
n. stain from the use of tea, coffee, beer, spirits, and in . !
exciseable articles. He concluded by movinificamets o .

u- lies of Resolutions (15 in number) ; among it
en was Resolved, that the Meeting at Mancherless en I H
o. the 16th of August, was letilly assembled ; and ? '
nt that the People, while so assembled,-were cruelly as& 1 ' .
as wickedly attacked by tote Yeomanry, under the di-
of rection of the local Magistrates ; that some were
51, killed, others maimed, and a still greater number
..
up miserably wounded and trampled-upon, without djs- 1-
..
' j
tinction of either age or sex ; that this atrocious *u- i
.
m. rage is an attempt to destroy, by the sword, all the I
remaining liberties of Englishmen ; that a Remon-
"' strance to the Regent be prepared, and left at the 1
!or, Knaresborough Union Rooms, for signatures ; and
that the Members- for Knaresborough be requested i
mit to present the same to his Royal Highness. Votes

• bialf-boots of French grey kid; and white chamois leather gloves.
NtALITTIO Deass (Evolaso).—Round dress of fine cambric,
with embroidered flounces of muslin, each liourice headed by a
row of beautiful embroidery, • Velvet spencer of bright gera-
Own, terminated in front with points ala-la ; triple ruff of

gloves of pale yellow, with variegated half-boots.
°inseams:L-11e Brandenburg pelisse is welladaptedeither
for the carriage.or walking costume ; it is of fine cloth, of a rich
gfernet colour, embroidered with distinct figures in black, d-10.-
Brastdenbssrg, and faced with a broad trimming of the new blmk
feathered silk. Drab-colourei cloth pelisses trimmed with pan-
cant velvet, and geranium cloth trimmed with black feathered
silk, are likely to be much in favour this winter, as will be the
Levantine, or double twilled sarenet, wadded and tastefully or-
namented. Cloth spencets of grey, and those of black velvet
elegantly finished on the bust and on the morscherons, are at pre-
sent much worn for Nalking; 'with a small mantilla thrown over,
made of the ounce, or the American fur whapponoc.
For evening dresses the colour of the ponceau•srents much in
favour, either in gros-de-Naples or twilled sarsnet. Satin appears
to come in but slowly, nevertheless a ruby satin Veuetian robe
over white, with white satin short sleeve, and lightly trimmed
with white silk cordon, has appeared on a lady of rank, still
struck us much as an evening dress of peculiar elegance. Pari-
sian aprons, for half-dress, are very much in favour ; they are
elegantly finished with pointed trimming; are either made of
black or different light-coloured sarsnets, have beautiful pochetta,
and a low corsage, without sleeves, trimmed to correspond. The
favourite colours are violet, ponceau, ruby, and lavender.--Frons
La Belle dhsemblee.
WkLYII4O DitSll.-A pelisse composed of kerseymere: the
colour is a peculiar shade of grey ; it is lined with white sarsnet.
The body is tight to the shape, the waist is rather long, and the
sleeve is set in sots to just touch the point of the shoulder : the
sleeve wide, and falls very much over the hand. The skirt is
moderately fell, meets before, and fastens down on the inside.
The trimming is composed of ruby-coloured velvet ; it is of a
rewipattern, and exceedingly rich and elegant ; it goes round
the bottom, and up each of the fronts. The epaulettes and cuffs
correspond Wi:11 the trimming. High standing collar, trimmed
in a similar manner. Head-dress, a bonnet composed of ruby
velvet, intermixed with Levantine : the crown is made of folds
of.these two materials, so disposed as to form a point in the
centre, which has a light and novel effect : the brim is large, and
of a singular but Leoming-shape.; it is finished at the edge by a
rich roll of ruby Levantine, to which is attached a full fall of
blond lace, set on narrow towards the ears, and broad in the
rraldlc of the brim: this style Of trimming adds much softness
to the countenance. A high plume of ostrich feathers, to corre-
spond, is placed upright in front, and a rich ribbcin ties it under
the chin. Gloves to correspond with the pelisse. Half-boots,
the lower part of black leather, the upper part grey Levantine.
111011MNU DRLLF...—A cambric muslin round dress; the skirt
wry wide at bottom, but considerably narrower at top; the ful-
P.SS is thrown entirely behind; it is finished at the bottom by a
single itoance of tirling's lace, set on full, and surmounted by
three rows of lettinkin lace, placed at a litde distance from each
other. 11w body is made up to the throat: the waist is some-
thing long& than those worn last month : the lower part of the

form, trimmed to correspond with the bottom, as is also the
collar. Long sleeve, rather-wide, and terminated at the wrist
by a French cull composed of lace. The upper part of the sleeve
is very full; it is confined to the arm by a band of ktting-in lace.

ment', and Mr. G. of the Medical Staff; when, after

Boxixo.— An. Invest was. held last night at the
Sir Hugh Middleton s'Head, near Sadler:s Wells, on
the body of J. Broderick, 18 years of age, who was
killed ha a pugilistic contest with W. Chapman, ap-
prentice to a watch-finisher, in Newcastle-street,
Clerkenwell, on Sunday morning. A surgeon stated,
that-he found a large quantity of eltravasated blood
on the brain, which might have been produced either
by the blows or falls the deceased received, or the
exertions he might have made in the course of the
fglit.—W. Mansfield deposed, that he was present
when the deceased and Chapman agreed to fight.
They were both watch-finishers, and their dispute
arose about the breaking of a watch-chain. Chap-
man wanted to fight the deceased at the time the
quarrel took place; but the latter declined then, as he
had on his best clothes. Chapman said he was deter-
- mined to fight, and would wait for a fortnight; ac-
cordingly Abe fiht took place on Sunday last. Bro-
derick went to the field, together with witness, Wm.
Ilea], and J. Porter ; Chapman, accompanied by J.
Widowdcrwn, J. Clift, G. Taylor, and J. Honey, was
waiting there. When the deceased. came into the
field he threw up his hat, and striiped directly ; his
antagonist did the same. They then shook hands,
and commenced fighting. - After fighting an hour
and three-quarters, Broderick 's head fell back, and
he was not able to come to time. Several times,
during the battle, Broderick expressed a desire to
five in, but the seconds would not permit him. The
deceased was carried off the field on a man's back,
and died on his way home.—Other evidence was
given, which corroborated the above ; and the Jury
returned a Verdict—Accidental Death.
A VIGOSOV3 Ows-Aos.—Old Tao Mattson% game-
keeper to his Grace the Duke of Buces.auou and
QUEENSBERRY, at Bowhill forest, Selkirkshire, has
killed, within the last fortnight, with the help of 3em
Fletcher, his assistant keeper, 165 hares ; and in the'
course of the season, 173 brace of grouse, 115 brace
of black-cocks, 197 brace of partridges, and 112 brace
of pheasants. One of the hares weighed Vbs. one
black-cock, 61b. 7oz.— Old Tam, (as the late Duke
used to style him) is nowfoar-store years et age, and
yet he partakes of the sports of the field the same as
when he was but 30. He has been upwards of 40
years in the Buccleugh Family, the present being the
third Duke he has served ; his experience on the
moors is of 63 years duration. When about 45, Tam
was allowed by all sportsmen who knew him, to be
the best shot in Scotland ; and, at one period, he was
almost as faMons a jockey. In the late Duke's time,
be rode a match against Hope, one of the Duke's
grooms, from Yorkshire, and beat him cleverly. At
that period, Old Tam was 65. This was the last race
he ever rode.

COURT OF XING'S SENOR, men* b:
TIMMER V. PERT. . '
This was an action for slander. It apoltdfrom
the statement of Mr. GURNEY, that the parties were "
near neighbours. The plaintiff had she misfortune
to have a fire break out in his house, at a time when
himself and his family were absent. The defendant,
on going to the spot, said, in the hearing of several
persons—" It is a planned job; Tucker set it on are
for the purpose." This was the slander complained
of. It appeared that the defendant called on the
plaintiff neat day, and acknowledged there was no
foundation for what he said, and offered to apologize.
The plaintiff, as the slander was public, desired the
apology should be so. This the defendant refused to
accede to, and therefore the present action was brought.
Mr. GASELEE, for the defendant, regretted that the
public apology was not given, and said that his client
was pow ready to give the fullest public apology for
the imputation he had cast upon the defendant, in ad-
dition to the private one he had already offered.
Mr. GURNEY, for the plaintiff, consented to receive'
this public apology, and a verdict for 51. for plaintiff.
This offer was complied with, and a verdict en-
tered up accordingly.
GADD V. BENNETT.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff against.
the defendant for a malicious arrest and false impri-
sonment. It appeared, that so long ago as 1811, the
plaintiff was a tenant of the defendant's, and had
some acc,ount to settle with him. The latter, at that
time, brought an action against the former, and at
length not only consented to withdraw the action he
brought, but to pay the costs. Of this action the
plaintiff heard no more until 1816, when he was ar-
rested at the suit of the defendant, and imprisoned,
for }vast of bail, for the space of thirteen days.
The'CIULF JusyrcE said, to entitle the plaintiff to
recover in this case, the Jury must be persuaded the
defendant had acted from malicious motives, or
with reasonable and lawful cause.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da-
mages £4O. costs 40s.
GRINDLAY V. !MEDAL
This was an action to recover from the defendant
a sum of £46.35. deposited in his hands, as stake-
holder, upon a wager depending on a foqt-race be-
tween the two noted pedestrians Rayner and %mon,
to be run upon Sunbury-common. The racer whom
the plaintiff backed lost his match, and the plaintiff
being persuaded that the race was lost unfairly, re-
fir‘ed to abide his bet, and called ou this defendant
to return his st.:l:e; bur the defendant refused, and
paid the wager to the winner. The plaintiff in con-
sequence brought his action to recover the sum, 'on
the ground that the wager was illegal.
The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, £46.35.
and costs.
