Those who feel desirous of receiving his instruction will please to make an application to Mr. Otto LANDSBERG, No.9 Longmarket-street, where his terms &c may be known. Mr W. begs also to return his sincere thanks for the kind support he has hitherto received in Cape Town; and he assures his friends that he will use every exertion in his power to merit support.

PLEASANT HOUSE AND GARDEN
TO LET, for such period as may be agreed upon, a house and garden in St.John-street, occupied for the last 16 months by Major MOLESWOTH
Enquire of Mr. BAMBERGER, 1 Plein-street.

FIRE AT THE PAARL
A fire broke out on the 23rd Dec last in the house of Mr. J. SCHABORD, in Church-square in this village, which is supposed to have arisen from a crevice in the kitchen chimney: owing to the strength of the wind, the exertions made to save the premises were almost ineffectual; the house and an outbuilding were destroyed, with a valuable horse, which in the confusion was forgotten. From the rapidity of the flames, the want of a speedy supply of water, and the defective state of the engines, the upper part of the adjoining house of the Misses VAN BERGEN was also destroyed; but the building being furnished with a “Brandzolder”, the lower part escaped injury. Mr. VAN DER POEL’s premises suffered partial injury. The los of the parties is estimated at about 4,000 Rds; and it is difficult to say to what extent the mischief might have reached had the wind been in a south east quarter.

LOSS OF THE LADY HOLLAND
Information was received in town on Monday last by Messrs BORRADAILES, THOMPSON & PILLANS of the Lady Holland, Capt. SNELL, having struck on a reef of rocks on the north end of Dassen Island, at about half past 10 o’clock on Sunday night. The night was very dark, and it was blowing a strong gale of wind from the S.E. A vigilant look-out had been kept from sun-et, at which period no appearance of land could be discerned: a few minutes before the vessel struck, the man stationed in the forecastle called out “Breakers ahead!” – the helm was immediately put down, but she struck before coming round. Some time previously the lead was hove, and no bottom could be found at 120 fathoms. Capt. SNELL ordered the mainmast to be cut away; this was done, but it fell backwards on the mizenmast, and carried that away also. The boats were then got out, and the whole of the passengers and crew got safely ashore at Dassen Island, without, however, being able to secure either provisions or water. A great portion of the cargo, it is hoped, will be saved, much of it consisting of Madeira wine in casks.
As soon as the intelligence of this unfortunate accident reached the Agents, they, with the utmost promptitude, dispatched the Constitution and Messrs. SINCLAIR’s boats &c, together with a wagon, for the purpose of relieving the passengers and crew, and of saving as much of the cargo as can be got at.
The Falcon, sloop, the cutter George, the Port Captain’s launch, the Northwester and several other boats went off to the spot in order to afford assistance: the Agents also made a request that Government would give directions to the nearest Authorities to provide for the protection of any of the goods which may float ashore. On Capt. SNELL’s arrival in Town, further particulars will no doubt be learned.
Dassen island is about forty miles to the northward of Table Bay and nearly midway between the latter and Saldanha Bay. The Lady Holland sailed from London in Oct last bound to Madras and Calcutta.
Passengers:
Mrs. LASCELLES, Mrs. STOREY, Mrs. MAUN, Mrs. DUFF, Miss SAUNDERS, Miss LIGHTFOOT, Miss DUVAL, Miss MOLESWORTH, Miss BAILIE, Miss WARBURTON, two Misses BYRNE; Colonel DE GRAVES, Mr. LASCELLES, Madras Civil Service; Captain POULTON; Captain STOREY; Lieut. LEYCOCK; Mr. Assistant Surgeon ALLARDICE; Cadet DURAND; and Mr. GIBBON.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE
A most dreadful fire happened in Wagonmaker’s Valley at the place of Mr. J.G.BRINK on Saturday the 27th ult. In a few minutes the house, with the greater part of the furniture, clothing and all the effects were reduced to ashes. But the most melancholy part of the catastrophe is that two valuable and faithful slaves, the property of Mr. BRINK, met their deaths in the flames; and a more distressing sight cannot be imagined than that presented by the disfigured bodies of these unfortunate men. A third person, a slave belonging to Mr. J. MARAIS, was so much injured by the fire that he breathed his last on the following day. Mr. BRINK, a man of the most hospitable character, has by this misfortune suffered a loss which cannot be calculated at less than 20,000 guilders, very little of his property being saved.
