THE CAPE MAILS.

(azum's TELEGRAM.)
PLYMOUTH, JULY 23.

The Union Company's steamship Briton arrived
here this morning with dates from the Cape of Good Hope
Juno 19 ; Bt. Helena, 28th ; and Ascension, July 2. She
brings 108 passengers, several packages of specie, and •
large general cargo. Among the passenger, are the Lord
Bishop of Cape Town and family, the Hon. P. E. de
Roubaix, Consul-General for Turkey, on his way to Con-
stantinople, and Dr. Lawson, the Inspector-General of
Hospitals.
The Cape parliament was still in session. A bill intro-
duced by Mr. Solomon, to abolish state grants for re-
ligious purposes, and also a bill brought forward
by Mr. Molteno to adopt the principle of responsible
government had both been rejected by 29 against 22 votes.
The government paper currency bill had also been rejected.
The Colonial Secretary had made his financial statement
according to which • deficiency of 59,0001. was expected
for the coming year. This would be nearly covered by an
authorized loan of 50,000/.

The government scheme to substitute a single house for
the present two houses of parliament had been withdrawn.
. _ .

The Colonial Legislature and the corporation of Cape
Town were making every preparation to give the Duke of
Edinburgh a hearty reception on hia arrival.

The Oiontee had arrived out, but her troops as well as
those brought by the Himalaya were still delayed at the
Cape, in consequence of the fever at Mauritius.
The Osprey had proved a total wreck ; the crew were
all saved but George Devereaux, the leading stoker, a native
of Portsmouth, who was drowned. The Petrel had visited
the wreck, and reported it was quite broken op. All that
had been saved consisted of articles of clothing, a few rifles
and revolvers, a chronometer, two sextants, some sails,
and the remains of the rigging. A court of inquiry was
about to be held.

The war between the Free State and the Banta had
been brought to a close.

It was reported by the steamship Saxon that arrived at
Table Bay from the Eastern route, previous to the depar-
ture of the Briton, that there was every probability of
Dr. Livingstone being still alive. Sir Thomas Maclean
had not, however, received any information on the
subject. Sir P. C. Wodehouse, the Governor of the
colony, whose term of service expires this year,
is expected to leave for England by October in the mail
steamer. There is no particular news from Natal. The
country was looking well, and there was every prospect of
satisfactory crops. Governor Neste arrived out in M►n.
rititui on the 23rd May, and was received by the corpora-
tion of D'Urban. Major-General Bisset, acting governor,
was to leave shortly for Algol' Bay.

Apartments are being prepared in the Hotel
Bristol for Prince Charles of Prussia, who will shortly
arrive in Park,
