IMPORTANT NEWS

FROM THE

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

GOVERNMENT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY.

Despatches have just been received from the Governor of
the Cape of Good Hope, containing accounts from the officer
commanding the troops at Port Natal. The intelligence is
important. The following is a summary of it :
Advices have been received from the Cape of Good Hope,
dated 15th July, bringing advices from Port Natal of the 3d
of the same month. They announce the junction of the re-
inforcements sent from Cape Town with Capt. Smith's gal-
lant little band, who, with 26 wounded within his closely-
confined camp, and no other food than horseflesh for more
than a fortnight, and a desperate and vigilant foe around
him, had managed to maintain his post. Aided by the
Southampton frigate. Captain Ogle, and the Conch
schooner, commanded by Mr. Bull, Colonel Cloete landed
his troops, although the headlands at the entrance of the
harbour were armed with guns, and the Boers had col-
lected in force to oppose him, with very few casualties.
Immediately after his disembarkation, Colonel Cloete
marched with detachments of his force, and two days' only
provisions, upon Congella, the Boers taking flight with
the utmost precipitation. In this place were found their
stores, and a foundry for shot. The Boers had retired to
their encampment, 12 miles off, where they had mustered to
the number of 400. Col. Cloete, having had no time to
land his stores from the Southampton, was unable to make
any forward movement, but in the esent of the Boers nol
accepting his terms, would lose no time in so doing.
Meantime, the Caffi es, who have been so cruelly treated
by the Boers, have attacked and killed several of their body,
whilst several of the inhabitants of Congella had volunteered
to take the oath of allegiance. The Boers had offered to
confer with Col. Ch.ote between their camp and Congella ; but
the colonel declined any negociation not prefaced by their sub-
mission. hitherto the colonel has very properly declined to
enlist the Aborigines in his cause. The Boers are, it appears,
labouring under the bsurd notion that they will be protected
by the King of the Netherlands, and this on the authority of
a person wholly unauthorised, whose sole object was to excite
disaffection to British government. The last of Colonel
Cloete's dispatches announces that Petorius and his band
were retreating to Maritzburg, having heard that Panda and
the Zoolars were marching against them. There appears to
be no doubt that the Dutch settlers must immediately come
to terms, for they are now between two fires, and must feel
that they had better accept the conciliatory proposals that
have been made to them than persist in their present course.
The conduct of Captain Smith and his devoted little band ap-
pears to have been most praiseworthy. Notwithstanding
the extremity to which they were reduced, they persisted in
refusing the proffered services of Panda and his hordes.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 16.

The duty has again advanced on Foreign Wheat to 165.,
on Rye to 10s. 6d. per qr. ; on Flour to 9s. 7-Id. per barrel ;
upon Colonial Wheat to 35., on Rye to ls. 6d. per qr., and
on Flour to ls. 9d. per barrel, with the prospect of these
articles shortly attaining the highest rates payable from
British possessions.
Of English, Irish, and Foreign Grain, the arrivals into this
port within the last three days have been unusually small ;
and of Flour, scarcely more than about 4000 barrels from
Canada and the United States.

Notwithstanding the prevailing impression that the imports
from abroad will not be repeated so extensively as heretofore
for some time to come, and that meanwhile we shall have to
depend principally upon supplies to be derived from the
growth of this country and Ireland, the transactions here, in
any department of the corn trade between Tuesday and to-
day, have been very unimportant, and the general quotations
specified in our last circular barely maintained.
Upon a very slender attendance of town and country buy-
ers at our Corn Exchange to-day, and more than ordinary
indifference on the part of millers to increase their engage-
ments, we have to report an exceedingly dull trade for all
descriptions of Foreign Wheat, which were decidedly easier
to purchase, and had sales been practicable to any mate-
rial extent, somewhat lower' terms would have been
conceded. Of English Wheat no fresh samples appeared ;
the few small lots of Irish New, therefore, were mostly sold,
yet not without submitting to a decline of 2d. to 3d. per
701bs. from the rates previously noted.
States and Canadian Flour, being in limited request, were
the turn cheaper. Having no English or Irish offering,
prime marks would readily command late prices.
New Oats, meeting little attention, must be noted Id per
451bs. cheaper, but old, upon a rather better inquiry, are
unaltered in value. With the exception of 2000 to 3000
loads of old Oatmeal disposed of at an abatement of, 6d per
2401b5., and a few small lots of new at a similir decline,
very little business in this article has been transacted to-day.
Being without any supply of Malting Barley, no exact
value for such is yet ascertainable, and grinding qualities are
little more than nominal to-day. Malt and Beans. moving
slowly into consumption, scarcely support former prices.
Boiling Pease are also difficult to sell ; of the slow kinds of
foreign, however, several parcels have been taken for feed-
ing at 295. to 31s. per quarter.

the ornery of propeity will not proteCt and cleanse

it—will not close up their dark and filthy passages—
the authorities, we presume, are fully empowered to
compel them, or to proceed themselves to do so. The
want of a proper legislative protection has entailed
upon us the existence, in the heart of the borough, of
a mass of crowded, ill-ventilated, ill-sewered buildings.
'We cannot now remove them. They constitute an es-
tablished evil. Their owners are, to a certain extent,

beyond the control of law; but they are not entirely so.
When this property becomes a nuisance, dangerous to
the public health, and obnoxious to the sight of every
passer-by, we can at least compel its owners to abate
the nuisance if we cannot _accomplish the far more de •
sirable consummation, the removal of the property.

Whilst upon this subject, may we ask what do the
authorities purpose doing with the large space of
ground fronting the post-office ? At present we ob-
serve that it is boarded round and converted into cart
sheds, timber yards, &c., with a reasonable number of
narrow passages for the bestowal of offal and the con-
venience of skulkers and thieves. It cannot surely be
for any object of profit that this valuable ground is
thus appropriated, and the property of the surround-

ng neighbourhood depreciated ; and we would respect-
'ully call the attention of the Council to its proper dis-

osal. We do not suggest to what it should be ap-

propriated. Building upon it, however, we presume
is out of the question. Some day we must connect by
a road through this very ground the north and south
parts of the town. In the mean time, throw down
these cart sheds—sweep away these wooden alleys—

throw open this space and pave or flag it ; and imme-
diately you make the property at the bottom of Hano-
ver-street, in Canning-place, and in places adjacent—

REVISION OF THE MUNICIPAL LIST.

Thursday was the last day for serving notices of objections
and claims for the present year. The objections are very
numerous : they amount to 1,669. The subjoined table will
show that in several wards the objections are very numerous.
We understand, however, that many objections have been
withdrawn already. The claims amount to only 94, of which
50 are from the Conservative and 44 from the Liberal side.

LIVERPOOL. CORN EXCHANGE,—Tius DAY

(From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.)

With numerous small parcels of new Wheat from Ireland,
a moderate quantity of this Grain from the Mediterranean,
including nearly 15,000 barrels of Canadian and States
Flour, and some increase in the receipts of Irish Oatmeal,
we have to report a fair supply of each ; but of all other
articles since this day week, the arrivals have been light.
Influenced by the near completion of harvest, even in the
northern districts of the kingdom, and the decline in Londqn
yesterday, the Wheat trade here this morning was consider-
ably depressed ; all quaities of English and foreign having
receded 3d to 4d, and Irish new fully 6d per 70Ibs below the
rates of Tuesday last ; which induced the millers to purchase
moderately, but by no means extensively.
Home-made and Irish Flour, upon a limited supply, main-
tained late prices; but States and Canadian must be noted
Is. per barrel cheaper, and not readily saleable at this abate-
ment.

Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas, with scarcely any apparent
business, exhibited a tendency to decline in value.
Oats, participating in the languor so generally applicable
to other articles of the trade, moved off very sparingly at a
reduction of Id. to 2d. per 451bs. from the currency of this
day se'nnight ; and Oatmeal, being much neglected, gave
way Is. per 2401b5.

COTTON MARKET, SEPTEMBER lg.

We have not the slightest change to remark upon in our Cotton

a very flat appearance again. The sales on Saturday were 2500
bales ; to.day the same amount, all to the trade. As regards prices,
we cannot make any change Holders evince no anxiety to effect
sales, and this prevents any apparent decline, though buyers pur-
chase on more favourable terms.

VALUABLE PICTURES, INCLUDING MANY FINE
WORKS OF ART, FROM THE COLLECTION
OF MR. BRETT.

MR. HODGSON most respectfully intimates to Connois-
seurs and Patrons of the Fine Arts, that he has re-
ceived instructions to SELL by PUBLIC AUCTION' on
TUESDAY next, the 27th instant, at Twelve o'clock precisely,

TU RES, by the most celebrated Masters, and includes many.
fine Specimens of Art, late the property of Mr. BRETT.
The following may be mentioned, :—St. Domenic at
his Devotions, by Ttfurillo : the brilliancy of colour of this
Painting may be considered obscured, being as imported, in
its original dirty state, it affords much speculation, as at a
little cost it would form a splendid Picture for a Chapel or
Convent; The Prize Ox, by P. P. litibens : this extraordi-
nary Picture, however ignoble the subject may be considered
by many, possesses that superior power of colour and strict
representation of nature that, as a work of art, must claim
admiration ; Seaport, with numerous Figures, Jno. Baptiste
Weenix : possessing fine quality of colour, and affordsevery
evidence of its originality, independent of the original signa-
ture of the master; View in Venice, Guardia a beautiful
Cabinet specimen, from a collection of twenty of similar size,
recently imported; Portraits of the Artist and his Wife, De
Bry ; splendid Seaport, Storck ; Landscape, Verstephon ;

Improved System of STAY-MAKING, which com-
bines a fashionable and elegant Fit'with the removal of that
injurious Pressure so justly com lained of by the Faculty.
Mrs. C. addresses Mothers /on the great importance of
having well-constructed Stay or growing Girls. It is a ge-
nerally admitted fact, that Ire• neglect of this caution, com-
bined with tight lacing, has, in many instances, predisposed
growing girls to.diseases of the Spine and Lungs, from which
no medical skill could, in after life, relieve them.
For the convenience of those Ladies who prefer Mrs. Cut-
ter's fitting them, she will be in attendance from Eleven to
Five daily.

TO CORRESPONDENTS

The letter of " No Dickey Sam" has been handed to the
publisher of the useful work to which our correspondent
refers, who, we feel persuaded, will do all in his power
to remedy the annoyance complained of.

Unfortunately, our poet's corner was preoccupied, or the
lines of "J. M. L." should have appeared. We shall be
glad at any time to comply with the request at the conclu-
sion of " J. M. L's" letter.
We differ in toto from "One of the donors." The publi-
cation of his letter would confer no benefit on the insti-
tution to which he refers ; and as we are ignorant of
the truth or falsehood of " the reports," we cannot consent
to publish them on anonymous authority. Were some
of the queries answered in the affirmative, we cannot per-
ceive that any blame can be attributable to the directors,
though we cannot say the same of the remainder.
