DEFEAT OF THE BRITIsa IN AFRICA

DEFEAT OF THE BRIrIsa IN AFRICA
News from the Cape of Good Hope to
the 2lst Of December has been received.
Bad as were the previous accounts from
the seat of war, those lately received
are still worse. Led on by the Hotten-
tots, the enemy continues to make pre-
datory incursions on the colonies, steal
ing their cattle, burning their farm
steads, and numbering the inhabitants
wherever they can overtake them. As
yet, no check whatever has been given
to these marauders by Sir Harry Smith,
and more troops must be sent out before
any effectual stop can be put TO their
inroads.

Their professed object is to enlighten

Excitement in Marysville- ARREST of a Thief.
We learn from the Marysville Express
that on Friday last Sydneyte by the
name of Tanner, alias Tom Quigg, was
caught stealing wagon load of goods
from the store house of Low & Brothers.
He was taken before the Recorder, who
admitted him to bail in the sum Of two
thousand dollars for his appearance at
Q o'clock on Saturday morning. Upon
an examination of Tanners premises,
many stolen articles were found, which
several Of the Marysville merchants had
missed from time to time. and were
identified by them.
Early on Saturday Tanner was seen
leaving the city, with the evident inten-
tlen of clearing out. Pursuit was irn-
mediately given, and after an exciting
chase, he was caught and brought back
to the Plaza, where hundreds of per-
sons had collected, many of them very
much excited, and demanding his i'm
mediate execution. A committee of
twenty five was then appointed by the
crowd to convey the prisoner to the
Vigilance Committees room. The Off
GERS hero attempted to rescue him, but
were repulsed by those who had him in
charge. He was then taken to the COM
mittee room, and On investigation COM
menced.
During the investigation, letter was
read to the people, from tho Vigilance
Committee of San Francisco, giving a
description of Tanner, and warning the
people against him. The excitement
now became intense; many were in favor
of hanging him Immediately, while
others warmly opposed it. The Mayor
and several others made speeches, en-
deavoring to allay the excitement, but
with littIe effect.
After a lengthy examination the COM
mittee reported from the evidence pre-
sented that the prisoner is guilty Of
grand larceny, which by the laws Of
the State is punishable on conviction,
by imprisonment in the State prison for
any term not less than one year nor
more than ten years, or, by death, in the
discretion of the jury"
After the report was read to the
crowd, the excitement grew threaten
ing to an alarming extent-most of the
people were in favor Of hanging the vii
lain at once. The prisoner, however,
was finally taken by the officers aud
lodged in the Jail to await his trial

being one Of the institutions established by
COP THE Low, is, therefore, honorable and
holy But by no means does il follow that
marriage is the embodiment or absorbing prin-
ciple of love Not even on this day do think
it is So No thought, or relation, or FORM es-
tablished among human beings can absorb or
be that divine principle Since love is the great
reality or fact of the Highest-since Love Gre
ated, redeemed upholds, and saves us-the
heart OF man or woman can surely glow with
no higher, or nobler, or purer emotion. Should

THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT !:

Theme for the Times BY Caroline Chesebro', au
thor of lisa, Pilgrimage &c Now York Pub
lished by Redheld. Washington sold by Taylor
Maury. One vol, 374 PIP.
This is certainly an ambitious title; and we
see no congruity between the title and the con.
tents of the book, which, like Isa seems de-
signed to show forth the wretchedness of woman
under the present conditions of society. The
story is very simple one and is but the thread
on which to string the sentiments of the author.
Asia Phillips, the heroine is poor orphan,
educated by the charity of Mr.. Maderon, with
taking care of poor blind uncle and q half
idiot aunt She is full of talent and, like lisa
in the Pilgrimage, of original and bold aspira-
tions She is described San Amazonian in
stature which seemed to her the only fitting
tabernacle for the spirit that was in her to
dwell in. There was lofty pride
in the expression Of her strange black eyes--a
piercing, penetrating power, that was not to
be gainsaid Id the very fuld Of life she
must live, if it all Fettered as pow was
she might exist, but such an existence as she
would scorn to call life And this il spec-
men of the intensified style of much of this
work.
There is in this book, as in lisa, priest of
Nature" the worlds prophet Of a new and
better Covenant" page 3O6, whose rhapsodies
are given at length on pages 266 to 27s. He
deems the universe Of books as a stupendous
monument, that proclaims the stupendous g-
norance and folly of the race :" page 27O. But

there is better time" coming when men,

Asia, the heroine, is seduced by cousin of
the Maderons, young lawyer, who marries
Blanche whereupon Asia seeks to drown her.

the book closes
In order that our readers may understand
