In passing sentence, Mr. Justice BAVILVY remarked, that the Prisoner's condom was ehargenble with want of fidelity to his employers, want of regard to his own character, and want of feeling for the lives and limlis of those introsted to his sire.

[Float The New Monthly Magazine] (Continwed from& owr Paper of yesterday) The peninsula of the t3ape, however, is not • quelly favourable so the imparts.% of the zoologist.

But the steiiihok, formerly the 11104 numerous of the lope tribe,ie now driven limn this part of Africa into the interior. The hoists of the Cape are mostly of Javan origin, or imported from South America, which last, celled the Black Spaniards, tire deemed most serviceable. heavy waggons., however, are all drawn by oxen, which animal* are remarkable for their strength and docility. Round Table Mnuataiii hover eagles, vultures, kites, and crowe, winch birds of prey make up for the depredations !hey commit, by clearieg the roads of nuisances. Wild fowl to plentiful in the winter season, and till the bays and coast abound with ex cellent fish, el perch of various kinds, stiles, meekerel, and milers unknown in Europe. Crate., tn o rc les, fl ed e ynere, the last equ a l to our own, are ;d-o n umerous. In the waiter, whales come often into the bays, and are taken with ra , le. They are in general from fifty to sixty feet in length, and yield each about six or ten tuns of oil. Insects abound in such variety all over the coon try a, to furnish an inexhaustible supply for the in quiries of the entotnologist. A species of locust Minot the Cape proves very injurious to the gardens, and a minute kind of sand-fly s extremely throti blesoine to passengers: buL it is remarkable that the mosquitos are much less offensive here than on the opposite continent of America and in the Wert Indies. Scorpions, ecolopeudres. and large Meek spiders, are noxious, and almost all the serpent Vibe are venomous. The most striking object at the Cape is Table Nlountain, the north front of which, facing the town, presents to the eye 14 horizontal line of about two miles in length. This stupemlons mass of rock appears as if it were supported by several but tresses rising from the plain, and inclining to wards the face of the mountain about half way up from its Wire, thus giving, it the semblance of a ruined forties,. These wall.. are 3.582 feet above the level of the bay, but the east side, which runs off at right angles to the front, is considerably Itielwr. 'rise west side, along the out-shore, is rent into hollows, and worn awl into pyramidal masse , . To the southward the mountain tie•eends in ter race., o f which the l o west ceinutimicates with the chain that extends she whole length of the peninmila. The two wings of the from, namely, the Devil's Hill, and the Lion's !lead, make with the Toble but one mountain ; for thoieell the sum mits have been separated they 'te at a consider ehle elevation from the plain. 'rise Devil's Nlitime tails, the height of which is 3,315 feet, is broken into irregular pMnts; but the upper part of the L 'a Fiend, 2,160 feet in elevation, resembles a dome like that of St. roil's, placed on a high conked hill. There are no appearKorezi of volcaoie origin in ally part of the mount:du, nor have nay fossilized reunnins beets found imbedded on its sides. Nothing can be more oulthine than the prospect from the summit of the Table, all the objects ass the plain, and its the bay below, being dwindled into mere specks and lim.— " The toortnoriuc anree That on the sinininibee.l idle pebbles tinkle, Cannot be beard so high." titre grows, among a variety of handsome shrubs, the enema mueronaa, au elegant froctescent plant peculiar to the mountain, mid a species of heath c lied the Physotlest, the flowers of winch are white and glutinous. The air on the summit in the winter and the shade is generally about fifteen de grees of Fahrenheit's scale lower than in the town : but in summer the difference is still greater, ',era cularly when the fleecy cloud, called the 4 , Table Cloth." upprurs oo the mountain, and gives a sure indication of no approaching storm. At the Cave they divide the year into two pee rinds, called the good and bad monsoon; but as these are neither regular nor of any determinate duration, it more advisable to adopt the quadri partite division. 'rite spring.. from the beginning of September to the end of Novemb.r. is the plea onnteot oeasou : the summer, Isom December to March, is the hottest ; the autumn, from thence to Jane, is variable wets her, though generally vety egreeable; and the winter, from Jane to Sep tember, is stormy, rainy, unit cold. The two most violent winds are the north-west and south east ; the first being prevalent from the end of May till the end of August, and sometimes through the whole of September ; the other predominates for the rest of the year, and when the cloud thews itself on the mountain it blows in squall) with great fury. During one of these storms, tit night, the heavenly bodies here a strange appear mice, the stars being anti the moon *tenting to have a vibrators motion. The approach of winter is observed by the south-east winds be coming less frequent and 'violent, and the weather being more clear; dew, also begin to fill hese vily. and fogs hung in the morning about the hulls. When the tempests cease the distant tnountoins and the Table itself appear covered with snow. At these times the thermometer about sunrise is at 40. rising in the course of the day to 70. but the general standard may be reckoned from SO. to 60. during the oration. In the middle of summer it varies from 70. to 90. but the average is 63. though it has been known to exceed 100. at Cape Town. The heat of summer, however, is seldom oppressive; the mornii.gs are sometimes sultry, hitt the evenings are always cool. The youth—east breeze usually begins Hboillt 0 0051 , and dies away towards night. Frosts November to April there is seldom an y rain; and it has been remarked, that, ne tw i thointling the violence of the tempests which MTaainnAlly strive, there is Irs• thunder and lightning at the Cape than itt any other part, except St. lirlena.

In. stead of all this, the great work of improvement is but in its infant state; and what renders it more difficult and vexatious, is the circum. • stance that of all the brings is this vest settle ment, the nominal Christians are the most untraet. aisle, surly, cruel, and avaricious. W h ile the Hot. tetanus ate leoth able awl willing to become hu manised, the African boon, of Dutch descent, seem to take a pride in self-degradation.
