BIRTH on the 4th January, Mrs. W. HENDERSON of a daughter, still born.

NOTICE
Fort Hare, 8th Jan 1851
Fort Beaufort was attacked on the morning of the 7th instant, at dawn of day, by a band of Kafirs and rebel Hottentots, under the Kafir Hermanus. This force was repulsed by the Troops, Fort Beaufort Volunteers and Fingoes, under Lieut. Col. SUTTON. The rebel Hermanus was killed leading on his men. Numbers of the Kafirs were killed and the enemy was pursued to Blinkwater, flying in all directions. Col. SUTTON speaks in high terms of all the Forces engaged.
It is fully expected that those misguided Hottentots who had joined Hermanus will now return to their allegiance. It has been reported by some women who came in from Blinkwater that several of the old discharged soldiers, who had refused to join and fight against the Government, had been seized by Hermanus and bound to the trees, to be murdered on his return from Fort Beaufort.

SHOCKING MURDER
Reports have just come in from Mr. UBSDELL’s farm, Coega, of the murder there by one Fingoe of another under the following circumstances: It seems that the one named Antonie, in the service of Mr. DANIELLS [sic] of Sidbury Park, who is at present with his flocks on Mr. UBSDELL’s farm, had for some time been at variance with the other, named Mattross, in the employ of Mr. Henry DANIEL [sic], and that on the day on which the horrid act was perpetrated, Antonie had struck the son of Mattross, who reported the same to his father, and thereby excited in the breast which was, as it turned out, to seek its satisfaction in the death of Antonie. When the latter therefore returned in the evening to the homestead, Mattross crossed his path and first attempted to stab him, but failing in this he deliberately levelled his gun at him and shot him dead on the spot. Immediately on committing the foul deed he absconded, but notice was at once sent by Mr. DANIELL to the Clerk of the Peace at Uitenhage.
