THE CAPE ?LiLIB.

The Union Company's Cape Royal Mail steam-
ship Itelnan, Captain William Stentt, has arrived at
Plymouth with the month's homewarl mina Her
dates are—left Table Bay, March 21 ; St. Helena,
March 30 ; and Ascension, April 2 :

The Governer, Sir Philip Wedeboese had visited
the Bowie month and Fort Beaufort. His excellency's
popularity ,in the eastern province was at the
righLsl
tapiteh ; wherever be went he wee received with
entlstwiestie demonstrations of applause. The ggoovernor's
projeoted measures in parliament were not eoaeiderd very
satisfactory by the eastern provincial people, as he had dis-
Meetly announced that he should not disturb the approach-
ing session with any discussions op projected chugss of an
organic character in the constitution of the colony.o They
bed thus, therefore, so hopes of the separation or federation
of the provinces, or of the removal of the seed of government.
Parliament was to meet et Graham's Town on April 27.
Foremost eulogist the questioes to he agitated would be
that of ways and means. and some lively damask= were
looked forward to epee it, as while though additional taxa-
tion most be resorted to was admitted very geoerally, yet
hardly two politicians could be got to scree together what
the new impolite should be. The harvest throughout the
colony had been • most prolific one, and the prices of all
kinds of proclaim were lower than had been known for years.
The unnsualkv heavy rides that had prevailed throughout
the whole of the eastern districts during the month had
caused severe floods, which had tended greatly to interrupt
communication, and several fatal results bad occurred at the
fords of the rivers, the greet want of bridges having been
severely felt. There had been an average amount of business
during the month, but trade was considered rather dull.
Mousy was abundant. There had been several ahippiog
casualties. The Roman brings home a series of 12
oil paintings of the Victoria Falls and a number of other
sketches by the artist and traveller Baines. The paintiogs
have been presented by the artist to the Royal Geographical
Society. Bainee's journals also come home by this mail for
publication. The Confederate war steamer Alabama put,
into Table Bay on March 20 for coals and other eupplies.
The total number of ships captured and destroyed by the
Alabama in the Indian seas had been seven, viz, the
Amanda, Winged Racer, Contest, Martaban or Texan
Ster, Sectors, Highlander, and Emma Jule ; bat Captain
S--nmee reckoned the damage indirectly. doge to the Federal
American commerce by his cruise in the Indian see as
univalent to a sum of 5,000,000 dollars, as the presence of
the Alabama hid caused such a panic that great numbers of
the American Federal ships lay in Singapore and other
harbours for more than three months, unable to get freight
and afraid to venture oat to sea. The Alabama was ex-
pected to remain in Table Bay for three or four days.

Yesterday, the Italian artists engaged at Windsor in in-
laying the roof of Cardinal Wolavy's chapel with glees
mosaics, visited Garibaldi at Cliefden. The general had
Nee them oa the previous day at Windsor, and personally

called on Captain and Mrs. Richardson, Sussex-gardens,

The Duke of Sutherland present. his oompliments
to the kllitcr of the Express, and begs to en-
close a letter received last evening from Mr. Per-
gusson respecting the health of General Garibaldi :
16, George-street, Hanover-square, W., April 23.
My Lord Duke.—At Mr. Seely's special request I sew
Genera! Garibaldi, at Stafford-house, within a few hours of
his departure from Loodon. The General declared himself
se well as be bad ever been since he arrived in Englead, but
on close inquiry admitted fatigue, both of body and bride.
My impreedou was that he looked jaded Led worn. The
fatigue Resonated with his receptions in Loadonnh
readily have accounted for this; but there was soother
reason equally urgent. Your grace will be sorry to learn
that he has latterly suffered from boils, and he had two on
his left forearm, one of which alone might have made
another maniere up all his ordinary occupations for a time.
I think it due to your grace, to Mr. Seely, and other who
advised with the general regarding his intended provincial
movements, that you should he made acquainted with this,
and I hope that your grace will consider it as a proof that it
was sot without good reason that I presumed to intrude my
test opinion on a subject which wee so full of interest to
even one.—l have the honour to be your grace's most
obedient servant, " W. Fast:caw..
"To his Gram the Duke of Sutherland."

A public meeting, convened by the Working
Men's Reception Committee, was cannoned to be h.ld on
Saturday evening on Primrose-hill, immediately after the
conclusion of the proceedings connected with the Shake-
spears commemoratioo, for the purpose of "protesting spinet
the manner io which General Garibaldi bad been honied
away from England, and to demand farther explanations
from the government as to the cause of hi hurried depar-
ture." At a few minutes before six o'clock, the committee,
about seventy in number, came upon the ground, midst
loud cheep, sod took up a position on the top of the
bill. They were accompanied by Professor Beelei,jl:
E. W. Sheen, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Edmund
and several intlueotial members of the City eons-
nsittee. Mr. Bealee was voted to the chair, and at once
took up a position on one of the wooden seats fixed on the
top of the hill. At this time about 5,C00 persona bad as-
sembled, sod great numbers of people were wending their
way up the hill to take part io the proceedings, the utmost
order prevailing on all sides. The charisma opened the
proceedings by saying he had with much pleasure oomplied
with the request of the Working Men's Committee to pre-
side on this occasion, inasmuch as be was not at all satisfied
with the mysterious roaonerin which the visit of their friend
General Garibaldi had beets cut short. Whatever truth
there might have been in some of the reasons put forward by
the professed Mende of the general for the sodden change
in his plane, be believed the main sod true facia bad been
suppressed. He had very great respect for Mr. Gladstone
and Lord Shaftesbury, but he did not think they bad stated
all they knew. (Hear, hear.) At this moment Mr. In-
spector Stokes, of the S division of polka, with a strong
body of constables, arrived on the ground, tied the Inspector
having made his way up to the chairman, called upon him
to desist from further addressing the people.—The Chair-
man : What will be the consequence if I persist in speaking?
Impactor Stokes : I shall use force to compel °Wiese* to my
orders. —The Chairman : In that case, protesting spina this
interference, I vacate the chair (at the same tune descend-
ing front his position). As soon as the psook became aware
of what had taken place tremendous groaning and hissing
took place. After the uproar had partially sooeided, Mr.
Cromer moved, " That this meeting having been suppressed
by the police, stands adjoarsed to a time end place
to be announced by the committee." Mr. Wises
seconded the motion, which was carried by ac-
clamation. amidst tremendous cheering for Garibaldi,
sod three promos for those who had induced him to leave
Eagles& The committee immediately retired, but some
severe scalier; took plane between the people and the polies,
who by this time had been strongly reisfaeced, and at one
time there was every symptom of a formidable riot, which
was with great difficulty kept in order by the appeals of the
committee. About a dozen members of the committee were
at this time ',audios together at the bottom of the hill,
consulting together as to when they should aremble
consider the hest steps they could take ceder the circum-
stances, no other persons being near them at the time,
when about fifty policemen rushed at them, foreibly push-
ing them in all directions, the sergeant commanding the
police saying. "Tun the fellows out at the gates." Several
members of the committee resisted this, sad blows were
exchanged, bat fortunately the inspector at this moment
came up, and ordered his me. to keep their heeds elf the
people. The committee then quietly left the place, amidst'
loud cheers from the people, and proceeded to the Adelaide
Arms, Chalk-fitringsts, where they held s meeting, attended
by 60 members, Mr. Wiese in the chair. The following
reeoloiinns were unanimously adopted : " That this
committee, representing the trade, friendly societies, sad i
