THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
PLYMOUTH, Fas. 15.

The Union Company's mail steamer Roman ar-
rived here this morning from the Cape of Good
Hope on the 15th, St. Helena on the 23rd, and
Ascension on the 27th January. She brings 79
. __

passengers, including the Hon. Mr. and Mrs.
ridson, and a general cargo, consisting of
EOO bales of wool, 2,551 bags of copper ore,
881 of bides, and 145 of goat skins,
also 170 packages of tallow, and 100 cases of sun-
dries.

The Roman experienced light southerly winds
from the Cape to the Equator, then strong N.K.
trade winds to Madeira, and thence to Plymouth
heavy gales from S.W. to N.W., with head sea.
At the Cape of Good Hope the distress among
the working classes from want of employment, as
well as the distress among a large section
of farmers, caused by the failure of the crop..
and by fatalities among the stock, through drought,
continued almost diminished, nor did there appear
to be any hope of an immediate improvement for
either of the suffering classes. Within a circle of
50 or 60 miles from Cape Town abundant rains had
fallen, but all districts beyond that bad suffered
from the drought with more or less severity.
Dr. Colenso was continuing to hold services in
Maritzburg Cathedral, at which large audiences
attended. The Bishop of Cape Town had offered
Dr. Colenso a now trial, the oonditious of which
were declined. It was generally expected that the
sentence of excommunication would be shortly
published against the recusant Bishop.
