DISCOVERIES IN SOUTH AFRIcA-THE NATIvEs-PRo-

From the Boston Traveller, Jan 49,
The BARK Ocean Wave, Captain Cutler, arrived
al this port this morning from Cape Town, q. Il.
ii Dec. lst The missionary ship Washington
Allston, from Boston for India, sailed from Cape
Town on the 18th of November The news from
the interior shows that there is considerable tur-
bulence prevailing among the different native
soyereigntles or tribes, and that this fact was
causing injury TO the settlement in varisus ways.
One OF the frontier papers states that some where
about two hundred lives were lost last year, by
the collision of different savage tribes, and that
similar results will follow in successive years, if
the impetuosiy of the barbArous people be not re-
strained. This we suppose, is intended as hint
for the annexation 10 British sway of the disturbed
districts
The Cape Town Mail gives an amusing account
OF the proceedings at session OF the = Beers
Raad," or Assembly. One OF the members pro-
ceeded to argue against resistance to the English
and Queen Victoria as impossible. He was inter-
rupted by cries from the other members, Of
"he's mad, turn him out" and the unfortunate
member was forthwith turned out neck and heels.
Discoveries are daily making in regions beyond
what was denominated the frontier. Among
others, travellers have arrived from the Zulu
country. In some places il was fertile and beau
tiful, with vegetation luxurant in others the land
was barren, with not tree 10 be seen for miles.
The chief food of the inha btaas is milk rlce and
sweet potatoes.
In one place, a party of travellers came to the
kraal of one OF the principal Zulu chiefs, styled by
the natives En- Corzan. Here they were Hospitality
entertained for four days. Cozan, the chief, re-
oiced in the possession of twenty wives, all whom
were daily dismissed the labors of the field, ex-
cept enc favorte dark beauty, who seemed exempt
from this unfeminine occupation. A cup bearer,
TOO, figured al the festive board, reminding the ira
velers OF Pharoah and the kings OF an cient times
a TALL, stalworth native, whose head was bound
with large blue shawl, in oriental style.
The natives use black earthenw are cups. These
cups were beautifully glazed and OF such curious
workmanship, that the travellers surprised 10
ind that they were manufactured by the natives.
The kraal, or hut, Of the chief was surrounded for
miles with those Of his relatives. About one hun
casion, and despatched to hun, buffaoes Large
crops OF mealies, sweet potatoes, and Caffn corn
were seen, as well as immense quantities Of sugar
cane.
An expedition Of about forty volunteers, headed
by The English crown prosecutor, had, under plea
OF stopping the incuTsions Of the "Bushmen," in
vased the territory OF an old Chief the ally Of the
Englsh, seized 500 Of his cattle and several OF the
Buthmen boys as capnves, and required him to cede
all his unoccuped territory to the British, all be-
! cause he had not preveated the ncursions Of the
| Bushmen. The vassals Of the old chief, dscen-
tented al these proceedings had fled in terror over
! the frontier.

coIding 10 the CAPE Town Mail been shed over the
