THE CAPE.

In reply to a queetionliomgTiffi L. EVA2IIII,
Mr. F. YELL said the boundary of the Cate colony was
one thing and the boundary of the Queen's dominions
another. There was a broad belt between them, and the
great struggle in the war was to dislodge the Kars from
this mountain range ; and for this purpose .General Cath•
mart made the Amatola mountains a crown reserve, and
with the view of preventing the Kaffir' occupying them,
be established one or two fortified posts. Under the shelter
*Mew fortified posts there would be villages in one or
two places. The government bad not disallowed any pro-
posal of General Cathcart's, but they had not sanctioned it,
sad the teases why they had net sanctioned it was that
the machos ealibt be premature.

Lord 1). STUART said, as then was no bueiness before
the bolas' he would eat the attention of the goverament to
the library. It was a beautiful room, but it was most hp
movement. sad even daagerous to persons ming it, in eon-
sequeami of the impassibility of getting at the books with-
out a ladder. While rorrehing • book Mr. Wright only
saved himself by a meet perilous lisp, which excited the
alma of those who witnessed it; sad ass of the servants
fell from a height ea a seal *kettle and smashed it. He
heard from every pasta esasected with the library that
the architect, although he had made a most beautiful room,
had paid no atteation to the muds and requirements of
those who used it. What was wanted was a gallery half-
way up the room, which would amble them to get the
books without risk elite sad limb.

was mainly directed.
Lord I'.tI.NtItItSTON said the answer as to the ennfi•
deneo of her Msjisty's government may be given iq the
shortest possibly space—namely, their belief that parliathent
may be safely prorogued uhder present Circumstances.'
With regent to the evacuation of lbs prineipalities. I nth
only say that I eon confident that the Emperor of RY4IOIII,
having that due regard fur his buns'', and character which
every sovereign of a greet cannery meet Missy* be Inspired
by, will take the earliest opportunity after the settlement
with Turkey, and of his osu accord sill make a merit of
evacuating the principalities without the slightest delay.
That is my confident expectation and belief.
The noble lord had scarcely concluded, when Irak
Rod " was announc•-d, sad Sir Augustus Clifford, the
Veber of the Work Rod, entered the house and summoned
the members to the House of Lords to hear the commission
read for the prorogation of parliament.
The Soesazit accompanied by thl the members in the
house, then proceeded to the 11-Juse of Lords, and en their
return, . .

The members stood round the table, and the Sra.sazu
read her Majesty's Speech.
The SPEAILIta then shook hands with the mensben
individually, who thereupon departed, and thus ended the
mai= of 1843.
