CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
We have Cape papers to the Bth January, brought by the Maid of Cashmere^ We extract the following from the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette, of the Bth January :—: — The news from the frontier by last post, are not satisfactory. Accounts from British KalFraria represent our newly-made fellow subjects, if they are to be considered such, as in an unsettled state. The expedition under Colonel Somerset against Pato, the only remaining refractory chief, had advanced to 14 miles of the west bank of the River Kei, from whence it w as to proceed to Kreili's country for the recovery of colonial cattle, contrary to his assertions, harboured there. It is rumoured that the following important changes in the Bench of this colony, will take place at no very distant period : Sir John Wylde to retire on a full pension - Mr. Menzies to go to Ceylon as Chief Justice ; Sir Anthony Oliphant to enme heie as Chief Justice : and a Mr. Montagu to come out as second Puisne Judge. So far goes the rumour.
