We are informed that as Mr. Thos. WEBSTER was lately proceeding to Graham's Town from his farm in the Mancazana, he fell in with three armed Kafirs driving at great speed before them seven head of cattle. Suspecting that the cattle had been stolen, he pursued the party for several miles along the Koonap Rantz, when, finding themselves closely pressed, they abandoned the cattle and plunged into the neighbouring thicket. Mr. WESTER [sic] then took possession of the cattle, and afterwards placed them under the charge of Lt. ARMSTRONG, the officer commanding the Konap post.

There is a good House, with Stabling for 8 horses, with other out-houses. It is well adapted for a Gentleman wishing to be only a short distance from town.
