LATER FROM THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE
Progress of the Khfiir War.

BosTos, July ID
The English brig Flibberty, from the
Cape of Good Hope, arrived yesterday,
bringing dates to the 18th May, which are
nearly two weeks later than our last previ-
Gus accounts via England.
The English steamer Vulcan had arrived
at The Cape, with 700 troops on board, and
several additional deiachments from Eng.
land were expected. The war still conlin-
ued, but the English troops notwithstanding
they had been considerably reinforced, were
making bu, little headway. Capt. Tylden
had a severe battle with a large Kaffir force,
in which the latter lost over 200 killed, be-
sides many wounded. The loss of the
English was inconsiderable.
Several additional deiachments Of leves
had been raised, and some of these had
marched on the 2s,h April for the interior,
which was infested by Kaffir and Ho,,cRioi
marauders. Several skirmishes had taken
place between these deiachments and the
rebels, in one of which the English troops,
under Major Donovarb defeated the rebels
with loss of over 800 killed.
The Kaliirs still cont linue obstinate, with
no disposition to seek terms of peace, and
all kinds of business at Cape Town was a, a
stand still.

DEAR SIN 1T having been enormously
asserted in public print, lha, most of the
persons who were signers of the Protest
against the nomination of James Campbell
as Judge of the Supreme Court, have recant-
ed their protest and subscribed TO a paper
agreeing to support his nominations | feel
il 10 be my duty, that may no, be mis-
understood, to make it public through you,
that still adhere to the opinions and prin.
ciples expressed in that Protest. signed
that paper from a sense of duty and prnci-
pie. therein asserted that James Camp.
bell was incompetent, and can not see that
his nomination has rendered him competent
or made him fit for a high place which should
be filled by man of learning, worth and
talent, and which he has sought and obtain.
ed by such indirect and crooked means.
still oppose him. oppose him because
he is incompetent, oppose him becatise
he has dragged into the contest a religious
test, and sought to shelter his incompetence
under the protecting shadow Of an ancient
and sacred church, whose halowed purity
he would soil with the communicating touch
of partizan politics.
For my own part no one will dare accuse
me Of bigotry or superstnious opposition TO
the Catholic Church. Within two years
past. one who is dear 10 me with my consent
and approval under sense of conscientious
duty, adopted that faith, and has become a
| rigid member Of that Church 1t would he
the same TO me if il were Methodsm, Pres.
| byterianism, or any oiker sect. would op-
pose lis intrusion into politics.
The Judicial question rises far far above
party politics. and while will give my
adhesion TO my party nominations upon all
other Subjects, will openly oppose incom
petent asprants for Judgships and hold that
man to be prima fdcia, unworthy who seeks
to force himself upon the Bench by the
power of party discipline. The Bench should
be sacred and above all mean influence
Men should be placed there, who by pure
lives, solid a,tainments, and clear minds
could command the place, not seek it.
James Campbell is unfit. His nomination
was obtained by con:rvance and believe
such iniqnity can not prosper.

COLUMBIA HousE, CAPE ISLAND,
Cape Man, Jaln ID, 1851.

The tide of visitors 10 this celebrated wa
tering, or rather bathing place, is now nearly
at its height, and in a few weeks the hotels
will all be well filed Visitors are pouring
in every day by hundreds, and there are
probably 5000 persons here. On Saturday
no less than three steamers left Philadelphia,
bringing down probably not less than five or
six hundred passengers. The Columbia
House, which is considered the most fash.

fill up but Mr.. Rarwood generally manages
TO accommodate the most who call. The
Susquehanna valley is pretty fully represent
ed, the number is increasing every year. -
There are seven or eight individuals here
from Sunbury. Some from Willamsport,
Milton, and other places. Competition for
travellers has brought down the fare TO
very low hgae. There are now five boats
running between Philadelphia and Cape May
The opposition boats, the "Thomas Powelln
and the ;Roser Williams" carry passengers
at one dollar, carriage hire included The
Powell is the largest as well as the fastest
boat on the line, and is commanded BY able
and obliging officers. The new road from
the landing in the bay, to the sea shore is a
great improvement on the old sand road. 1t

POSSESSION OF THE HOLY sEPULCHR


Letters from the Levant announce that
question has been raised between France
and the Ottoman Porte in relation TO the
possession Of the Holy Sepulchre. The
French Ambassador claims it for the Ro-
man Catholics, while the Porte replies that
the Snltans have always attributed its own
ership to The Greeks and that it is therefore
impossible to take it from them.
Here is something more than mere reli-
gious fact. 4 political question of the first
importance is involved. The possession of
the Holy Sepulchre yielded 10 the Greeks, is
the abandonment. OF the pgOtectorate of the
Christians in the East, exercised by France
from time immemorial it is, at the same
time the intrusion Of Russian influence in
the affairs, moi of Turkey, but of the Chris
