In the closing month of 1868 Mr. M'Leod em-
barked for the Cape of Good Hope, ea reek to
Mozambique, to which plass be had been appointed
British Consul. His narrative includes an account
of the voyage, minutely tedious, and probably
mewed is a stele proportioned to its barrooms, of

wealmeis of the find seventy pages or so of ha first
volume. He strenuously advocates the formation
of a harbour of refuge. ant a naval station, each
indeed ae Table Bay will ultimately become with
an outlay of money not to be measured with the '
importance of the commercial result. Cape Town
will thus be raised to the first rank of mercantile
ports, its geographical position rendering it the
natural emporium of eastern and western preclude
and industry, and the outlet of all the varied
riches of Southern Africa. Colonial self-govern-
meat, Mr. M'Leod remarks with sensible satis-
faction, has introduced a plan which promises
the full fruition desired. The funds have been
provided, and an act passed by the colonial par-
'lament for coostructing a breakwater sad
otherwise improving the harbour which na-1
taws has given ; and the securing three miles
of anchorage by this means will effect a yearly
saving of 30,0001.—a consideration quite indepen-
dent of those greatly increased operations at com-
merce which will inevitably ensue, and the value of
land reclaimed by the works, and made available
for quay* and wharves. At Cape Town and at
Natal Mr. knead entered into questions of inter-
nal moment, and busied himself especially in Pre-
venting the purr-lune by the tribe of Boars of Por-
tuguese temtory. The good faith of Portugal, in
the anti-slavery treaty, ieregarded by Mr. M'Leod
with but alight respect. In the following briskly
