What Engiand Is Fighting For~Her Majesty’s Possessions in West Africa, The British settlements on the West Coast of Africa were originally established purely for pur- Moses of trade, slaves being the chief staple. These colonies, all under an Administrator-in- Chief, are the following, beginning with the north- ‘ernmost :—The Gambia, Sierra Leone, Cape Coast Castie and Lagos. The capital of the Gambia is Bathurst, situated on the River Gambia. The first commercial intercourse between this part of Atrica and England took place about the close of the sixteenth century, and in 1618 a fegular com- pany was formed for the purpose. It jailed, and another company, established two years later, was not more successiul, inp the reign of George Ll. a brisk trade began to spring up, the principal @tticle of export being siaves. On the abolition of the slave trade commerce fell off greatly till 1816, when it revived a little. The imports and ex- ports vary*irom year to year, but in 1570 the former mounted to £01,996 and the latter to £142,517. In ithe same year the revenue was £19,969 and the ex- a. £21,987, thus showing a@ defictency. ‘aking, however, the average revenue and expen- diture for five years, from i866 to 1870, both in- clusive, we fiud that the former was £19,616 and the latter £19,120, so that, on the whole, the re- ceipta exceed the expenditure by nearly £5,000, The principal exports consist Of ground nuts. Recently aleo a littie cotton has been shipped. . pPertue imports the settlement is able, by méans Of the River Gambia, to cause British goods to penetrate several hundred miles mto the inte- rior. In 1871 the population was 14,190, a very small number being Europeans. The settiement 1s governed by an administrator pnd a legislative council. Sierra ieone, the seat of the Administrator-in- @hiel, was ceded by the native ciieis to Great Britain in 1787, (rom which time till 1807 it was ad- mumistered by a company of merchants, who in 1800 received acharter. In 1807 the Crown assumed ‘the direct controi of the colony, the government -of which now consists oi the Administratur-in- Chief, an executive council and a legislative coun- ail. The exports are prncipaliy palm oil, ivory ‘and gold dust. In i870 the jue of the imports and exports was resy4ctively £280,864 and £392,191. ‘The revenue lor the same year was £07,135 and the expenditure £68,033. ‘Taking, however. the year!; average irom 1866 to 1870, both inclusive, we fin ‘that the receipts were £62,511 and the expenses £64,758, showing an annual deficit of nearly £2,000, ‘The population in 1860, the date ot the latest re- turn, was 41,806, of which 129 only were white. Proceeding southwards from Sierra Leene we come to the Gold Coast, which is the name given to that part of Upper Guinea which lies between 4 deg. west and 4 deg. 20 pin. east longitude. The seat of government is Cape Coast Castle. From a "ery early period there has been trade between England and the Gold Coast, and in 1750 an asso- lation called the African Company was authorized by act of Partament to jorm establishments on the West Coast of Africa. In 1821 these settlements were transferred to the Crown. do 1827, on account of the expense of the Ashantee war and the decline of commerce, Which, since the abolition of the slave trade, had gradually dwindled away, the public establishments ‘Were withdrawn. A few years later they were re- a#tored and ever since have been retained. The jovernment consists of an administrator and a lative council. The population in 1858 was 151,346, but ts now estimated at about 200,000. The revenue and expenditure for 1870 were £30,851 and £35,609 respectively, the average receipts and expenditures irom 1866 to 1870, both ye inciu- sive, being £18,455 and £17,735. The ‘articles @: perted are of much the same description as thos aiheet irom the other settlements on the coast. e imports and exports respectively in 1870 ‘were £253,397 and £378,239, To the eastward of the Gold Coast cemes 5 ceeded by the native king in 1861. Though the Bebe oe of ali the colonies in this part of Africa, it enjoys the proud distinction of possessing & public debt, The revenue for 1870 was £41,683, the expenditure being £42,379. The imports during 1870 were £400,588, and the exports £615,365, in this merticuine exhibiting @ marked superiority over te other colonies, The principal exports are palm oil, paim kernels, indigo and tvory.

Reported Capture of the Place by Kiowas and Comanches. The Story Discredited at Army Headquarters. Paina Dina General Sherman's Suspi- cions Two Weeks Ago. CuicaGco, August 28, 1873, The report frou Waco, Texas, via New Orleans, of the attack by Indians on Fort Sill and the massacre of women and children and part of the Fourth cavalry is undoubtedly an error, as no report of such an attack has been received at General Sheridan’s headquarters here, which would certainly have been the case if one had been made. Furthermore, the Fourth cavalry is at Fort Clark, on the Rio Grande, and not within 500 miles of Fort Sill. General Sheridan Hi of It. WASHINGTON, August 28, 1873, ‘The despatch to the effect that the Indians have captured Fort Sill, Indian Territory, is not credited at the War Department. General Sheridan would have been promptly advised, whereus he has not heard a word of any dificulty. The Tenth and not the Fourth cavalry has its headquarters at Fort Sill.. Seven companies of this regiment under command of Lieutenant Colonel Donaldson are stationcd at Fort Sili—viz., Companies A, ©, D, F, G, K and M, also Companies © and K of the Eleventh infantry and Company C of the Twenty-filth infantry. The fort is the most substantial one in the West, built of stone and well protected, so that two companies could hold it against all the Kiowas and Coman- ches on the Plains, Waco, where the report origi- nated, is over 200 miles from Fort Sill, which makes the story improbable in the opinion of army ofi- cers who have served in that part of the country. The Tenth cavalry is composed of colored men. ‘The officers are all white, and most of them have their families at the fort. Colonel Grierson is at present on recruiting service in St. Louis. If the reported massacre by the Indians near Fort Sill proves true it is hinted here in army circles that the presence of Satanta and Big Tree may have influenced the attack on the fort. These Indian chiefs left Houston, Texas, on the i9th inst., and would be due in the vicinity of the alleged mas- sacre about this time. One theory is that the Indians, knowing of the presence of the chiefs and the con- ditional terms under which they were returned fer a council—having no faith in the promises of the government—have made a combined attack on the fort. Heretofore the Indians in that vicinity have been peacelul, and this fact excites distrust as to the probability of the alleged wholesale slaughter. The report causes considerable anxiety Heard Nothing f in army circles, as it has been well known here that the Kiowas and Comanches have been off their reservations for some time. General Sher- man not ten days ago called attention to the fact that these Indians were not complying with the treaty, “and he did not know by what authority they were off their reservation.” At the same time, he thought the troops should have the privilege of punishing them, as he knew from experience that they were a treacherous bana, OAPTAIN OHILSON'S ACHIEVEMENTS, Fort UNtoN, New Mexico, August 20, 1873, To THE EDITOR oF THE HERALD: In your issue of the 12th you say :—‘‘General Pape, commanding the Department of the Missouri, in a general order announces the brilliant result achieved by Captain George W.

Boston, August 28, 1873, Tho nowly chartered city of Gloucester has again been visited by # destructive fire, which haa taken from her a portion of a whole business square in the very heart of that enterprising place. ‘The fire was discovered about hall-past twelve o'clock this morning, in the wooden building owned by N. R, Webster, oa Frout street, near the corner of Hancock. Front street is the main business street ofthe city, and runs nearly east and west, near the water side. The buildings are all of compara- tively recent erection, the same territory having been burned over by the great fire there about ten years ago, The greater part of them are of wood, three stories in height, with Mansard roof, altuough some of them are of brick. The fire was under good headway when discovered and spread to the eastward and west- ward with great rapidity. ‘The alarm speedily cailed the Fire Department of the city, which ts considered an excellent one, with two steamera from Bay View and from other points, The build- ing in which the fire originated was of wood and was part of a coutinuous block of stores, all of the same material, torming the Front street Dreadfal Effects of the Recent Gale at Nova Scotia.

The gale was severely teltin the towa and county of Pictou, where great damage was done. In the harbor che tiae rose to a great height, and in the town trees, fences and chimneys were blown down and goods and chattels scattered in all directions. ‘The fruit and ornamental trees suffered severely, and it is feared that still greater damage was done to the grain crops tn the country. The gardens in the reur of the town of Pictou, which were more ex- posed to the wind than the other parts of the town, are completely destroyed, the ground being strewn with branches of trees and green fruits and vegeta- bies. Fences, gates,,and, in fact, everything capa- ble of being moved by the wind, are scattered around the streets and flelds, ‘The leaves of the fruit trees are blasted and withered, and the gar- dens in town generally present a most deplorable appearance.

Davis, the block of Nathaniel R. Webster and the block of Charles Boynton, ORIGIN OF THR FIRR. ‘The fire broke out un the upper portion of Web- ster’s block, and smoke was smelt some time be- fore the dames burst out. At the corner of Centre street was the fine brick building of Proctor Brothers, publishers of the Cape Ann Advertiser, which stayed the fire in that direction, The upper stories of the building were occupied for their pub lishing establishment, and in the spacious store on the ground foor they carried on a large book and stationery business. The fames got so complete a headway at the outset that the wooden structures added only fuel to them, and their work was steady and relentiess to the buiiding of Messrs. Proctor, making their destruction complete. The flames en- tered the upper stories of the Proctor building and pretty thoroughly burned the interior; but the building itself was saved, although after @ most. thorough arenching. THE WOODEN BLOCK DESROYED ‘was occupied for stores, and a variety of business was carried on there. Among the occupants were H. A. Harmon, druggist; 5. H. Lane, jewelry; S. P. Emanuel & Co., fancy goods; ©. P. Barrett, cloth- ing ; Alexander Pattello, cry goods; R. C. Lawrence, clothing; E. P. Ring & Son, boots and shoes; John S. Tappan, clothier, The stock of Messrs Pattello, Lawrence, Ring and Tappan werg largely saved, and a portion of w others’ were rescued from the flames. Mr. Emanuel lost nearly all his stock, and the Proctor Brothers lost the greater portion of theirs. ‘the destruction by water in the latter case, was more than by fire. Tue fire raged until nearly five o'clock, when it was completely subdued, and no danger was to be apprehended from its farther spread. A steamer was present trom Rockport and did excel- lent service, and the citizens generally aided the firemen in their valiant work. The wind was for- tunately not violent or the city might again have been the victim of an extensive fire, as many of the surrounding buildings are of wood and filled with combustible material. Two families had dwel- lings in the upper portion of the buildings de- stroyed. THE PROBABLE LOSS. It is impossible to get at an accurate cstimate of | the loss at the present writing, but ic is probable that the amount will reach $75,000, which, of course, Will be lar gely relieved by insurance. AN INADEQUATE SUPPLY OF WATER, Cosiderable alarm was ‘elt in Boston, especially among those financially interested at the Cape, when @ report this forenoon announced that the fire had broken out anew. The inadequate supply of water, many thought, would give the fire full spread over the town, and, as a gentieman from Gloucester expressed himself this noon, “Had the fire happened on Sunday night there would not | have been a vestige left of the principal part of the city.” As it was water had to be brought long dis- tances, and it required the fire appartus of tne | towns round about and on the line of the ratiroad for miles to keep the conflagration within the | bounds it now is. There was no new breaking out of the fire, ior it was burning steadily from its commencement ti!l a little past five o’clock in the morning. SEIZING THE PROCTOR BUILDING. Still there Was alarm when it turned back im its | course, and when it unexpectedly seized the fine brick and stone building of the Cape Ann Adver- tiser; 80 suddenly did itenter and take control of | this building, the best in town, valued at $25,000, that the publishers had barely time to save their lists and books. The forms even, ready for this | week's issue, could not be got out, and so went | editorials, type, presses and the whole establish- | ment. Ihis was the only brick building, the | other three principal buildings on Front street, completing the block between Centre and Han- cock, being wood, and valued at about ten theusand dollars each. The heat was of course very great from these structures, and in spite of efforts of the citizens the buildings on the opposite side of the street were badly scorched, WHERE THE FIRE WAS STARTED. From what cause the ire originated cannot be told at this writing. It is known to have com- | menced in an unused closet over Lane's jewelry | store and connected witha hall used jor dances | and entertainments. What gave it sucha strong and sudden start was the well waxed floor of this large room. THE PRINCIPAL SUFFERERS. The greatest losers are the Proctor Brothers, but | their loss cannot be exactly ascertained at this moment. They had some insurance, but not nearly enough to cover the amount burned. The apothe- | cary shop, in Dr. Burgenrep’s block, had a stock vaiued at some $7,000, which was completely de- stroyed; some insurance. 8, H. Emuanuel’s stock was worth about $1,000, the insurance on which will probably cover ali that was injured. Most of the dry goods in Mr. Patillo’s | store were saved; insurance will cover the injury. | J. 8. Tappan owned the portion of the block he oc- cupied, Which, with the stock, was partially in- sured; as most of hon aie were removed the | damage Was not great. The stock ot Ch Barrett, In Babson’s block, was partly sav insured. D, H. Lane’s jewel: hes and fanc: goods, in all to the were removed, with some loss. A, C. Lawrence saved his stock in Dr. Burgengren’s block. E. P. Ring, in Babson’s block, saved all his boot and shoe stock. Every firm on the street front saved their books, Dr. | Smith, a physician living up stairs in Babson’s | block, lost everything he owned in the building. The people are very grateful to the firemen and | citizens Who came irom neighboring piaces to their rescue. Had it not been tor their timely aid tne whole city would have been burned. Most of these firms were burned out in the great fire of 1864, and Messrs. Patillo and Barrett have been burned out three times within ten years, They saved # portion o! their stock, and it is diMcult to ascertain the extent of their loss at present, A PARTIAL LIST OF RISKS, © The following 18 a partial list of the risks :— riney Mutual lechanies and T | successial in saving the lives of those on board, aiso washed away, ‘THE NEW SCHOONER JESSE HOYT was driven ashore on Fisher's Grant side of the harbor, and sustained considerable injury. The brig Willard Brae, owned by the Messrs. Wesson, dragged her anchor and went ashore on the same side of the harbor, but it is hoped she has not sus- tained material injury. The schooner Leading Star, of St. John, N. B., was driven so far ashore at Middle River it is supposed it will be almost tmn- poasible to get her back. At least twenty otner schooners Were driven ashore on the same side of the harbor, but most of them are believed to be comparatively iree irom damage, ON THE PICTOU stva of the harbcr considerable quantities of lumber, &c., lying on the wharves were carried away. The public wharf and a few others have been some- what damaged. The cellars and warehouses along Water street were flooded and quantities of four, salt and other perishable articles were injured or destroyed. Four bridges were washed away at Port Hastings, where the gale was also severely felt. There are seven vessels ashore at Port Mul- grave, four at Pirate Cove, four at Port Hawkes- bury and four at Port Hood. The wharves are all gone at Port Mulgrave. Severat barns and houses were blown down and one child was killed at Cape Jack by the falling of a house. Eastward of Hali- fax the gale was the fiercest that has swept over the country for years. Buildings, trees and fences were blown down and strewn in every direction, and it is reported that two unfinished churches were blown down at Cape Ray. The same accounts of the disastrous effects of the hurricane come from other sections of the province. ‘To the westward the fruit crop has been aimost wholly destroyed; and within a radius of 200 miles fences, trees and barns are prostrated and shipping damaged. In Hantsport three schoon- ers broke away from their moorings and were more or less damaged. The fruit crop of Kings county and the adjoining counties suffered terri- biy; but no estimate of the damage can be formed now, Thousands of bushels of chotce fruit are scattered over the ground, and growers who anti- cipated having large and profitable crops will be heavy losers. DISASTERS AT COW BAY. The Cunard steamer Alpha arrived from Cow Bay this afternoon, and gives further particulars of the gale there. The following ts a list of vessels ashore and dismasted :—Schooners Onward, Olivia, Mary Octavia, Jeddo, Welcome Return, M. N. Hale, J. B. Gilkie, W. D. and Maggie Wood ; brigs J. Troop, Orloff, Alice Starrett, La Plata, Hattie B, and Lucey. The following vessels are dismasted, but not ashore:—The Shasta, J. Howland, barks N. Churchill, Fanny M. Carvill, Mexican, G. Paysant, Albert, Pomona, besides a number of others whose names could not be ascertained, The majority of the vesscls ashore whose names are not given are small fishing schooners, whicu have been generally smashed up beyond ali hope of identificetion. The whole number of disasters to vessels at Cow Bay amount to fifty-six, inciuding vesseis ashore and dismasted, So far as asce' tained but one life was lost—that of a pilot, whose name is unknowa—irom the Weicome Return, the only loaded schooner in tne bay at the time. HEROIC RESCUE BY BUATMEN, During tue heigit of the gale the crew of the brig G. J. Troob, being in great danger from the tre- | mendous seas breaking over the vessel, Captain McArthur had a bout hauled over the sands, a dis- tance of two miles, and launched to succor the exposed crew. The boat was manned by Captain McArthur, Ralph Candor and Cap- tain Martell, and these brave fellows were eight in number, who would, in ail probability, otherwise have perished.
