formation of the Prussian Boodestaat, and claims
reciprocal liberty to found a South-German
federal state, and which is, indeed, but the
echo of an earlier rumour of the same Worn
at Berlin, already mentioned in your columns,
finds very little credit. I hear that General
Neumann, the Prussian special envoy that was sent
to Warsaw, has brought back such accounts of his in-
terviews with the Cesar, u have produced a most
painful impression upon the mind of the King. The
tone of the Russian autocrat was exceedingly harsh
and haughty; and I sin informed, on good authority,
that he disapproved of the steps taken by the Prus-
sian government in the matter of the Bundestast
in terms of arrogant displeasure, which have
been amply gelling to tonal maibilitaat

Today the chambers did not meet. The next steps
of the government on the German question are awaited
with impatience. Tn. attitude of the democratic
party on this subject is apparently waive, bat
really a great hindrance, for their present ann is to
play into the hands of the Russian party, whom they
wiser if possible to bring into power, feeling sure that
after General Gerlach, revolution has once more a
chance. The constitutional party are not so Kraig in
this country as they. are in the house; and this per-
haps is the surest sign that the Bond/stoat scheme
will be brought to nought, notwithstanding the im-
posiog full-sail steeliness with which the government
is progressing towards the apparent fulfilment of the
great plan. The democrats would, I believe, relish
nothing better than a Russian demonstration against
the constitutionality.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

By the Inflexible, steam-sloop, Commander Ho-
seaport, arrived on Saturday morning from the But
Indies, we have important news from the Cape, dated
and August, which was conveyed to St. Helena by
the Brilliant, 20, Captain Watson, and communicated
to the Inflexible, which left St. Helena on the 17th
August. By a letter from the correspondent at the
Cape, of the Rants Telegraph, which we sobjcdn, it
wilt be seen that the colonists maintain an attitude of
dritsrmiliddldnistance to the step of making the Cape
a penal settlement. The following is the correepon-
dent's letter :
Cope of Good Hope, August 2, 1849.
Nothing can exceed the ezeted state of feeling in this
colony on the subject of the contemplated introduction of
convicts hers frees the island of Bermuda.
Sir Harry Smith has bees danprouily i,l from a car-
buncle at the back of his head, and the violent opposition
of the colonists on this question had tended much to Lams
his mind and retard his discovery ; but be has nearly got
round, and takes his daily exercise on horseback. His
Excellency has so far condescended to the repugnance
shown by all classes at the idea of the Cape being made
a penal settlement as to intimate that he had made
arrangements, on the arrival of the Neptune, for the con-
Cos to be turned over to the Seriegapatain hulk, at Simon's
Bay, and there to be kept until further instructions regard-
ing their disposal should be received from her Majesty's
government ; this, however, was far from satisfying the
colonists, who returned to the charge, insisting that they
should be mat away hem the colony the intent they arrive.
His Becellency, not heti, g himself authorised to take such
a step, merely replied by promising to do all in his power to
meet the Wisbm of the people consistently with the in-
Eradiate he might receive on the arrival of the coavicts.
He had also trued a proclamation announcing his de-
termination to insert and uphold the majesty of the
laws. It is believed, however, that this is merely preparatory
to the introduction of a sterner order of things should the
state of the colony require, it.
The Anti-convict Is indefatigable in enforcing
the pledge on all climes, to place beyond the pale of social
intercourse all persons who either directly or indirectly fa-
voured the convict measure, cr who furnished the ordinary
supplies of precisims to government which might be made
avertable to the support of the convicts on their arrival.
The beaks and insurance aim, in order to give support to
this system of intimidation, have called upon their clients to
pay up all arrears of movtgeges, loses, interest, &e. ; and
premed them to the payment of the uttermost farthing
with each unomprimising severity as to leave no alumna-
' ties but submission. The government contractors for pro.
visions, &a, here found themselves in this predicament
and have nearly all given notice that they must forhit
their recognise ces and break their contracts. The gover-
nor, therefore, to apply a remedy to this evil, offered to ad-
vance, from the colonial treasury, sufficient sums of money
to relieve persons so circumstanced from their embalms.-

so raistakea as to desire them,—now, therefore, I do hereby
proclaim, declare, sod make kaown, for general informatics,
the several matters following, that is to say :
First,—Tint it is my intention, for the mama already
stated, to withhold tickebof leave from the =avian re-
peed by the Neptune.
Smandly,—That unless I should, by the Neptune or other-
wise, receive instructions or authority from the Secretary of
Sate, to despatch the convicts in question to some other
Defilement, I shad cause arrangements to be made for keep-
ing them on board some ship or ships in Simon's Bay, until
I shall have learned her Majesty's gracious pleasure relative
to their ultimate destination.
Thirdly,—That, pending the announcement of her Ma-
jetty's pleasure, no communiestios between the convicts and
the laid will be allowed, save for the purpose of supplying
food, and religious and moral tembine, mots in ease of
sickness, when it may be necessary to remove the sufferer to
Umbel on shore.
Fourthly,—That this detention, which, however distressing
to the convicts, is eke :lowly indispensable to their personal
safety, will as much as pesetas be alleviated, and be teenaged
so as to preserve or promote habits of industry and order, and
disappoint as little as circumstances will wreak, the favour-
able intentions of her Majesty in their behalf.
Filthly,—That whilst I am Um prepared to rxert to the
utmost every power belonging to my office for the purpose of
allaying the alarm and distress which the idea of landing the
convies in question has so poweehlly excited, it is, at the
same time, to be elearly uadentood, that all my powers in
reference to these mea are bounded by the limits of the co-
lony,—that I have no right or pressor of right to send them
to Eastland, or any other place,—that to t • such a aura
would render the confinement of the casein@ on the high
seas wholly wronefal and illegal, sad would, in law, justify
them to take life in the ass nice of their liberty.
Sixthly.—That I am the more withheld from the set of
unlawful form, which I have bees ailed upon to do, Demon
I am convinced that the reveseden of the late order& in
council, making this colony • penal settlement, an object to
which the hearts and hopes of all her Majesty's subjoins is
this colony (and of no one son than myself), are new
directed, might be retarded, rather than promoted, by a meo
meang contrary to law, sad not seeded in order to keep flee
convicts front landiag, pomading her Majesty's gresiwas plow
men; and a promedtag, moreover, which, though MOW
nded for my adoption, in a legal and obedient spirit, night
appear to be mambo in revenues for the mithenty fee the

The Cape Town burred of July 28 has the follow-
ing relating to anti-convict movements :
Upon the question there is now less exciting,* la Cape

purpose. From that they cannot now be turned. Alfas

And this must be secomplished. Accounts have reached lowa
of the greatest era peration, and the intemest excitement.,
existing tbronehont the country district,. A correspondent
at Brod vt dotal that the greatest excitement prevailed
thin. In Graff-Reinet, the feeling is as strong, and we are
informed that the justices of the peace, field comets, and
=ambers of the rued board, poison beard, and ,shod
commission in that place, were all about to threw sp
their conuniasions. The farmers beyond the Omega
River have sent in their petitions. In the dinettes of
B.elleubben, Cobden, Swellsndem, Somerset—in het
throughout the colony—the feeling of the inhabitants '
too strong to be played with. And 9tat man incurs a Wavy
responsibility, who, having the power of allaying 'the just
fears and dangerous excitement of the people, refuses to
exert that power. Sir Harry has told us tbat the orders in
Council will be revoked. Earl Grey and the Queen's mi-
lliners have told us *et the measure will not be persisted
in, what then is to be gained by keeping the lfrptiate In
Bison's bay f Vie ghost of some legal fiction has made its
appearance, and the governor has been too mach startled to
exigent to send her away. But her detention will amiss
throughout the whole colony the greatest excitemeat, the
bitterest exasperation of feeling. against the modem-
conctry,—ainiversal fear and suspicion, the satire new-
don of husinese, and a complete obstruction of legislaties sad
of the action of government; and all this is to be enlared
for six or eight mouths, rather than that the governor shoe*
take • step which might, he is legally advised, be possibly
construed to be beyond the power vested in him by law.
Bat that rep must be taken, sad, we believe, will be taken.
The sooner, therefore, the colonies put the governor in •
position to inform them that he has made up his mind to
take the step, the better for all parties concerned.)
The same journal contains the following observations as
showing the value of landed property. At the sale of landed

the farm Basally on the Helreiga was knocked
dews for 9601. This farm, for largo tattle and for
ogrisaltaral is held to be one of the most
mini* in Lower Albany, sad it was supposed would
hem realised from 1,4001. to 1,6001. The only other
hems sold belonging to this estate were two farms on
the Kamp, one milled Breaches Mond, sad the other a
tract of land adjoining, to which at present no title from the
government has been given. This joint property, named
Clifton, was knocked down for 8751.—a price considerably
below mist it would have realised a short time ago. The
landed property in Graham's Toles, consisting of two stores
in the Highotrest, me a private residence, celled the
" Retreat," prodused what are sonsidered as fair prices.

accommodate about 260 persons. The entire cost, including
purchase of ground, is 1,9601.; and the debt remaining on

DESTRUCTITE FIRES AND PROBABLE Loss Or
Lira.—Yesterday morning a fire broke out in the oil and
colour warehouse belonging to Mrs. Maria Pottle, No. 3,
Tabernacle square, Shoraditch. The flames began in the
front shop,and the residents having been nude sensible of their
impending danger, made an attempt to descend by the stair-
case, bet the smoke was so dense and the heat so intense,
that it was found impracticable for any one to escape by the
regular way. The destruction of the parties in the premises
was, therefore, momentarily expected. The excitement in
the neighbourhood was greatly maned from the fed of •
fire having occurred in the same premises about two years
Mum, when two or three persons won burned to death.
Mr. Demon, occopier of the adjoining bathe, succeeded, by •
desperate effort, in rescuing the lives of the parties in the
building. The puce matures were taken out of oste
of the back windows almost suffocated with smoke.
TM Imes were not mastered until the whine( the valuable
Meek in trade was consumed, and the building partially
destroyed. The ancient baths of St. Aims Le Mir have
dee sustained slight damage by the hasty removal of fermi
linee and water from the eaginee.—A. short time previotuly
dienben outbreak, a Ire, which there is strong ground
be inniesieg will be attended with fatal results, happened
at the print., residence of Mr. James Welsh, in White
Hone-alley, Bankeido. It communed in the second floor
front, at which time the wife of the owner was asleep. The
cries of the neighbours brought the engines, and after NOM
time tin flames were subdued, but not until Mrs. Webb wee
most fearfully burned, sad the whole of her (twitter, em
touively injured by firs and water. The unfortunate
woman, who, it appears, had caused the fire., was forthwith
removed to the hospital, where she remains in a very pee
carious stem. The prorrty.deetroyed is uninsured. At a
late hour on Saturday evening the City Baths, Old Bread.
street, City, were discovered to be on fire. Ths

which were caused from the heat of the furnace flee Goer
mended in the bath-room, on the ground floor, but owing to
the timely arrival of the firemen from Jeffrey-square, the
fire was speedily extinguished. Messrs. Hall and Simmons,
the proprietors of the baths, were insured.
CHURCH-RATES AT SOUTHAMPTON.—It would Wm
that church rates are nearly doomed in this town. At two
different polls recently taken in the parish of St. Lawrence,
they were refused ; sod is the large parish of St. Mary, a
motion for collecting the amount proposed to be levied, by
voluntary contributions, was carried by a majority of 38
to 15.
'fro VACANT BISHOPRIC.—Of course no definite
appointment has yet been made to the vacant see of N,,r-
win. The tranalation:of the Bight Rev. Lord Auckland
from the bishopric of Sodor and Man le somewhat confidently
predicted. His lordship's promotion would not absolutely
streagthen the ministerial party in the House of Lords,
Lord Auckland having a seat at present as a temporal peer ;

The quantity of oolonialwool which will be brought
firward at the public tales which commenced on
Wednesday, and will be continued daily, it is ascer-
tained will amount to 42,000 baler. The prices of
July have hitherto been maintained at these auctions.
The newest arrivals from the colonies amount to 8,000
bales, to which are expected to be added about 24,000
bale, makings probable total of 32,000 bales for the
next November gad February sale.. The total quan-
tity already to hand this year is 118,500 bales, against
124,350 bales for the whole year 1848.
