THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

PLYMOUTH, SATI,RDAY MORNING.

The Lady Jocelyn, Capt. Stewart, arrived to-day
at noon, with mails from the Cape and India. She
left Sandheads, Junel6 ; Madras, 21; Point-de-Valle,
26; Mauritius, July 7 ; Cape of Good Hope, 21; St.
Helena, 13; Ascension, August 3; and St. Vincent,
13. She brought a mail in charge of E. K. Barnard,
R.N.; a general cargo ; and more than 160 passengers,
among whom are Lieut. the Hon. F. A. Morton, eon
of the late Earl Ducie, and Captain F. Shadwell,
R.N. There has been some sickness amongst the
passengers. Two children belonging to Mrs. Simp-
son, and a Mrs. Govan, passengers from India, died
on the way home.
The intelligence from the Mauritius is of a favour-
able character.

The prospect of the sugar crop is very encouraging.

The Postmaster-General has been removed from
his office, by orders from England, on charges brought
against him by one of the clerks.
The ship Charlotte, of Liverpool, with rice from
Moulmein, had been wrecked on 13th and 14th
June. The wreck and cargo were sold for 3,551 dole.
On the Cape frontier everything remained quiet,
and the price of land is increasing. The revenue
continues to increase.

July 25, in lat. 26.40 S., lon. 9 E., the ship City of
Liverpool, from Calcutta, was signalled. Aug. 16,
spoke the American barque Francis .Palmer, from
Sierra Leone for Marseilles ; all the hands, except
three men, laid up of African fever.

The weather was so boisterous on the arrival of
the Lady Jocelyn in Plymouth Sound to-day, that it
was only with difficulty and much risk that she
could be communicated with from the shore.
