.The Pope had adopted the helmet, instead of the shako,
for the National Guard, because it was worn by the old
Romans. The other parts of the uniform also resembled
as much as possible the national costume.

PROGRES4 OF CIVILIZATION.—We hear from the
Sandwich Islands of the establishment of a boarding
school for young ladies. This establishment is kept by
an English lady, at Honoslolu, the capital. Another
proof of this progress is from the Antipodes. The editor
of the Athen*uum acknowledges the receipt, from Hobart
Town, of a catalogue of the first exhibition of paintings
recently opened there. The fact is, indeed, worthy of re-
. .

cord ; for, as our contemporarary rightly says, it is "illus-
trative of the advance of civilization, which has always

iional fact attendant thereon—viz., that no less an artist
than the Bishop of Tasmania himself figures with credit
among the exhibitors. These are strange but satisfactory
things to be happening in a place of which it might have
been recently said, as a traveller once said of the Carse of
Gowrie, that it wanted water in summer, fire in winter,
and the grace of God all the year round.
The news from the Cape of Good Hope is to the 12th
of June. The Kaffirs had resumed their depredations on
the frontier farmers, and it was impossible for isolated
families within twenty miles of the border to feel other-

„vise than insecure. At no former period had the pros-
, pects of the eastern districts been more gloomy, as recent
'experience had proved the inconceivable difficulty of pro-
tecting agricultural property against marauders armed
:-witk guns and mounted on horses. Guns were becoming
more and more the choice weapons of the natives. ” The
new line of policy towards the Kafirs,,, says the Graham's
Town. Journal, " is to make arrangements for the location
of the.rebellious chiefs. It is thought that the mischie-
vous propensities of the common Kafirs can be more
effectually checked and controlled through the influence
-.of the chiefs and head men, than by direct interference
with the barbaric mass. Acting, then, upon this princi-
ple, it is proposed to assign to certain chiefs certain por-
tions of territory, to lay down certain regulations for their
,suidance, to hold them responsible for the good order and
peaceful conduct of certain kraals, and to punish every
~;ohief or head man on the spot who refuses to punish any
vffqp,der amongst his people."
