these expectations were disappointed. The carts could

not take on

thy of the coals, and great part of them were of cuurs

away by the succeeding tide. The wind was about

S.S.W., blowing rather strong

Towards dusk the

pearance of the horizon indicated a gale, or was so con-

sidered by the weather-wise here, and this a

pprehension

was verified before moraiug. A great number ut card with

visitors, and small carts, congregated at and near the ship
in the evening. The Cow and Call Rocks appeared quite

naked, but the sea washing over thew. liainnediately a

the bow of the ship, a baitk had been thrown up of sand
and small stones commingled, probaby from the action of

the tide upon her bottom

At half-past four the tide came round her, and it became
necessary to recede. The wind was about N.W., but
draughts were flying about in different directions. The

steam-tugs were again employed at high water to bring

the ship off, but without effrct, and they had to put out
into the offing—high water being about ten. The moon
was bright, but towel ds morning it began to blow strongly
from the S.W. The ship bad during the nigh; forged on
La little further upon the beach, wii.h tier head MUCH more
to the westward, being now nearly bow on to the land, or
bosom of the bay.

At ten this morning (high water being at 1011._ 40m.)

fresh, with a heavy surf rolling all along the beach. The
wind at this thine was about S. or S. by E., one of the
tri•st unfavoui able for throwing the sea into the bay.
The steam tugs (two from Liverpool) could riot ap-

poach the ship during the tide, the sort beings() high and
thieatening, and the rocks around so numerous. The

vessel was nearly s.ern on to ihe sea, which occesiona ly
dashed over her quarters and taffrad. She appeared to
move, or flo*t, oceacs.ociaily; but tbougik the t,tie did not
retire until eleven o'clock, no perceptible difference in her
position was visible, the probability being, that (from ap-
pearances) she had got further into the bay by atiout her
own length. The wind is still blowing freshly into the
bay, and toe huge hull of the Leviathan steamer seems to
be so.close in upon the land, that it will require the most
extraordinary exertions to .get her off. Tuesday is the
highest tide.
L have seen a Mr. Janns, sub-inspector of the consta-
bulary here, and now stationed, with fourteen men, at the
Coast-guard station-house, about a quarter of an English
mile from the Great Britain. where I was most kindly
and hospitably received. Mr. Janns did his utmost with
his men to ai'sist and protect the passenger s. Mr. Purdy,
the chief boatman at the station, went on board at the
hazard of bis life when the vessel struck, in company with
boatmen, .Patrick Hannah, two of his sous, and a man
named Hinds.

-Soon after half-fast nine o'clock, when the vessel went
on shore. on the night of the 22d, Mr. P. Fuy proceeded
to the beach—Le residing in the immediate neighbour-
hood. He saw bluelights and rockets, and heard a gun
fired from the ship, which last was answered from the
Coast-guard Station. From the clear lights seen from
the ship, she was discovered to be a large steamer. About
three o'clock they succeeded in getting off a boat through
the surf, which was still running dangerously and
they with itifficulty got on board. This was the first boat
that got to the ship, and was welcon.ely received. The
passengers•remained on board for•two hours, it not being
daylight, and the coast dangerous. Captain Hosken first
landed the -ladies ; and, so far as I can 1-arn, Mr. Foy was
most active in assisting to laud them.,and to seem e their
luggage from damage or plunder. My own impression is,
from what lcan learn in the locality, that the people here,
with one or two exceptions, inseparable from such
casualties. and the confusion that occurred, behaved
with the utmost .kindness, honesty, and hospitality.
Another attempt to get the vessel of will be wade to-
night, but bow fat this will be successful remains to be
found.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE

(BY EXPRESS.)

THE WAR IN KAFFIRLAND.—(From the Second Edi-
tion of Yesterday's Herald —The Maria Sorties, trans-
port vessel, has arrived at Portsmouth, with Cape of Good
Hope journals to the 4th August inclusive. The Resis-
tance, from Monte Video, had reached Simon's Bay with
the Reserve battalion of the 45th Regiment, and
was followed by the Apollo, wi.b the 73.4 Regi-
ment, which would prove of great assistance to his
Excellency the Governor, Sir Peregrine Maitland.
We have neither confirmation nor contradiction of the
reported death of Commander Sir Cornwallis Ricketts,
Bart., of the Helena sloop, received by the former arrival
from the Cap?, although we have reason to believe that few
of the officers and crew of that vessel had been able to do
duty, in consequence of severe illness. The news from
the frontier is not of much importance. Sir Peregrine Mait-
land had at length made a "move" with the troops under
his command, anti it was hoped that he was about to enter
upon the war with something like energy and decision;
but the writers in the Cape journals appear not very san-
guine that those hopes would be speedily realised.
