The Fhontur.— The Governor hod issued a minute on thr stite of the frontier affairs, selling forth the process and conclusion of the Kaffir war, and his project! of future defence. The principal feature in that policy consists in the cit&blUhment of military villages — the construction of field-works with garrtvms nt commanding points— and the organization of n powerful police forec, By these means be expects to be able to guard the frontier without the n,d of British troops.

We find the following in the Cape Monitor, at the head of its frontier newi ;— The laat post brought no newt o( impuitnnco lnyond lliat prirate letter* hnd been ncutved ut Port Elizabeth that mid — ' SunJilli and M.icomo have paid up their quota of armi, but aorne of the minor chiefs are •till holding out. Indeed, the general Impression that if thr reply of her Majcaty. be unfavourable to the Knfirf, and the Aniotolns be retained, a general war will ensue ere long. So much for the prace preached about in general orders, and otherwlbo proclaimed. We fear it will yet have to bo enforced at the point of Ihe bayonet, the only style of reasoning: the K»ffirs can understand.

Tub Elections.— Sflreral Committees were np» pointed for the purpoic of selecting proper Camli. dates for their npreaentiuirca under the New Constitution.

On the lit of July, a Proclamation wai ismed in a Gazette Extraordinary, leftnlly promulgating the order in Council, establishing a Parlinmont for thi' Colony.
