THE CAPE MAIL

The Union Company's steamship Roman arrived
at Plymouth yesterday afternoon from the Cape
of Good Hope on the 14th ; St. Helena, 22nd ;
and Ascension on the 26th ult. She brings 165
passengers, 1,000 bales of wool, 1,400 wet hides,
10 cases of ostrich feathers, 16 cases of aloes and
gum, 60 tons of sesame seed, 61 tusks, five cases of
ivory, 1,077 bags of copper ore, 60 casks and 14 cases
of wine, and 25 cases of sundries from the Cape,
and two boxes of specie from St. Helena.
Among her passengers is the Rev. A. Murray, of
the Dutch Reformed Church, deputed by the
synodical commission to visit England to watch
the appeal which has been made to the Privy
Council in the Berger case.
The following is Mr. Reuter's summary of her
news:

•
The weather continued remarkably fine at the Cape,
and a quiet reaction towards the return of better times
progressed. Farming operations were being carried on
very favourably in every direction, but heavy losses still
occurred in isolated districts from diseases among cattle
and sheep.
The commander of the forces had returned from his
official visit to St. Helena. Mr. C. J. Becker, subaheriff
at Malmesbury, bad absconded, alter forging bills and pro-
missory notes to the amount of 1,5001.
The settlement of a treaty of peace between the Basutos
and the Free State was progressing satisfactorily.
The Cape colonists had presented an address to Presi-
dent Brand, congratulating him upon the honourable con-
clusion of the war. _

...........
The gold discoveries in Transvaal were confirmed.
Several expeditions had left Natal on their way to the
diggings-
The South African Advertiser and Mad says : " The
Colenso question still raged violently. The court bad
granted an order, requiring the dean to give the bishop
access to, and the use of, the baptismal registry. In re-
ply the dean bad positively stated to the court in writing
that he defined to obey the order, as he deemed the
matter beside the functions of any civil court. For
this contumacy the court had, without awarding
any personal punishment by imprisonment or
fine, decreed the dean to be in general con-
tempt and under sentence of ' legal excommunica-
tion.' He is unable to go before the court:to seek say re-
dress, so long as he is in contempt. The bench declined
to make a martyr of the dean by more extreme measures
than placing him in the position of ' deprivation of law.'
Mr. Justice Phillips remarked, in reference to the judg
meat, that it did not affect the dean more than an eccle-
siastical excommunication did the other side; be did not
think it would affect him much."
The Panama and New Zealand Company's steamer Rhea-
. bine arrived out May 11. The mail steamer Briton had not
arrived ; she left St. Helena, May 9. H.M.S. Rapid left
Port Elizabeth May 12 for Simon's Bay. The Valorous
was at Aiwa- The Pequima and Salamis left Agog Bay
May 14 for the Mauritius, and the troop-ship Lady Mel-
ville arrived on that day in Simon's Bay from Madras.
The Roman landed her mails here, and proceeded this
evening for Southampton.

Whig.

Mr. Charles Buxton, M.P., has addressed a letter
to a member of the Jamaica Committee, setting forth the
reasons why he cannot assent to the prosecution of
Governor Eyre for the wilful murder of Mr. Gordon.
After expressing his indignation at the misconduct of Mr.
Eyre towards the people entrusted to his care, the hon.
member says he cannot shut his eyes to the fact that in
arresting Mr. Gordon and sending him to be tried by court-
martial, he was under the belief that a wide-spread con-
spiracy had broken out in the island with a view to a general
massacre of the white population, and that Mr. Gordon was
the prime mover of this design. Mr. Buxton adds that it
seems to him " impossible to regard the course taken by
Mr. Eyre under these circumstance', shameful and crimi-
nal as it was, as involving him in the guilt of wilful

murder."

The annual meeting of the shareholders was held
at 1 o'clock, at the London Tavern ; Mr. R. W. CRAW-
FORD, M.P., in the chair.
The report, which had been issued some time before,
having been taken as read,
The CHAIRMAN snored its adoption. ter
al-
luding to the satisfactory character of Afthe
port, he observed that much less was said
than usual about tbe construction, which was now ap-
proaching completion. As regarded the Jubbulpore line,
ci,,, he said he entertained no doubt that the works would
'' be finished %;thin the time stipulated for ; and lie be-
lieved that within a year the whole of the line from Cal-
cutta to Jubbulpore, and from Calcutta to Delhi
would be complete. The sum to be received from
dim the Secretai 7 of State would be about 567,0001., and all
that waareceivedbeyondthat sum would be so muchtowards
a dividend exceeding 5 per cent. If the excess in 18 weeks
of the current year over the same period of the previous
I year should be maintained, there would he a surplus of
pl 50,009/. He believed, in fact, that they would receive in
16 the present half year snore than they received in the whole
of 1864. (Cheers.) The average receipt in the first 18 weeks
of 1665 was 28/. 15e. 91d. per mile per week ; the average in
in the same period of 1866 was 39/. lb. 3d. He then referred
• to complaints that had been made by merchants and others
• at Calcutta of the inadequacy of the accommodation pro-
• vided by the company. He maintained that considering
that the line was a single one everything had been done
. that could reasonably be expected and as regarded
• the demand for the doubling of the line, he observed
- that it would involve an additional expenditure of 4,0007.
• per mile. He had no doubt that the policy of gradually
' ~ doubling the line at convenient places, stopping vere
81" it was desirable to do so. would fully ans
thewlin er the

ur-
pose. (Hear, hear.) Some portions of e b
doubled already. Orders had been given for Redocotves to be supplied within the next two years, for iron
to enable the company to double certain portions of the

THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS HELENA.

At Windsor Castle the workmen are busily
employed in preparing the group of state apartments on
the north aide of the palace in readiness for the festivities
which will take place upon the occasion of the wedding of
her Royal Highness Princess Helena and Prince Christian.
The ceremony takes place in the private chapel of the
castle adjoining the noble apartment known as St. George's
Hall, where a temporary chapel has been fitted for the
use of the Queen and royal family during the requisite
alterations in she royal chapel, and where a temporary
wooden gallery will be erected in order to afford increased
accommodation for such members of the court, diplomatic
corps, and aristocracy as may be honoured with invitations
to attend the ceremony. Of necessity the invitations to
the marriage must be limited, as the chapel is only a
building of the dimensions of a moderately-sized room,
originally built simply for the use of the royal family, the
suite, and domestics of the household.

HOLSTEIN.

KIEL, Junri 10.

General von Gablents having by order of the
Vienna cabinet declined the summons of General
von Manteuffel to re-establish a common adminis-
tration in the Duchies and to withdraw the one-aided
convocation of the Holstein Estates, General von
Manteuffel has appointed Baron von Scheel-Pleasen
as chief president of a new government for
the two Duchies. Baron von Scheel-Pleasen has
issued a proclamation, stating that General von
Manteuffel will proceed against any acts which
the Prussian government may regard as illegal,
either on the part of the former government of
Holstein or of the Estates about to meet.
KIEL, Just 10, EVZNINO.
The opening of the Holstein Estates is expected
with the greatest anxiety. The Prussians will not
permit them to meet in any part of Holstein, and
General von Manteuffel will take the necessary
steps to this effect. The question is if Austria
Rill oppose by arms the measures taken by Prussia
to prevent the meeting of the Estates.

BERLIN, Jung 10:

The convocation of the Holstein Estates by
Austria has not been annulled by that Power.
Count Karolyi, the Austrian ambassador, has not
left Berlin.

RENDFIBURG, Joss 10, Svsxoxc•

General von Manteuffel has issued a proclama-
tion to the Holateiners to-day. He says that he
recognises the orderly conduct of the Holateinera
upon the entry of the Prussian troops. He orders
that all political societies are to be dissolved, and
suspends the publication of all political news-
papers unprovided with legal authorisation until
such authorisation be granted. The general
proceeds to announce that the Holstein go-
vernment which had been appointed by the
Austrian authorities is dissolved. Baron Scheel-
Pleseen assumes the civil administration as chief
President of both Duchies, under the authority of
the highest military power, with residence at Kiel.
The proclamation states, in conclusion, that it is
the intention of the King of Prussia, in conformity
with the principle of the unity of both Duchies,
to convoke the Estates of Schleswig and Holstein,
in order to prepare this unity. The necessary
preparations for the convocation have already been
made.

NO WAR TET.

Though there may be rashness, observes the
Times, in the mere utterance of a hope that hostilities
may be averted, it is no less difficult to foretell by what
means the outbreak may be brought about. Fur the pre-
sent matters have been settled in Schleswig Holstein in a
more satisfactory manner than the most sanguine
could have anticipated. Unless the parties act on
a preconceived resolution to have war at any
cost, a clue out of the labyrinth might easily
be found. Even that poor old effete Frankfort
Diet would supply the terms, so far as Prussia and
Austria are concerned, for a plausible compromise, and
Italy has never yet mustered sufficient courage to join
issue with Austria. single-handed. Were she standing
alone Italy would have her foe in the rear as well as in the
front ; for the Pope, Francis 11., and many foreign catho-
lice would stir up an insurrection in the southern pro-
vinces. We have not lost all recollection of the part
played by the French and Spanish squadrons when the
fugitive Bourbon was shut up in his lest stronghold of
Gaeta. And is there any doubt that a confederacy of
three or five Italics seemed a more plausible scheme to
some of the high powers than the " Italia Uus." which the
Italians almost miraculously managed to bring about for
themselves?

Though the war is the consummation of designs which
inspire nothing but aversion in the minds of the Prussian
people, the Daily News thinks it would be to foster illu-
sions to fancy that in their attitude towards their Bove-
reign there is any chance of peace : they will disapprove
and fight. But for the dexterous association of Prussian
schemes with the Italian aspirations, the condemnation
of all Europe would echo the murmurs of domestic dis-
satisfaction ; and had Austria given to the indubitable
moral claims of Italy that which she has yielded to the
insolent pretensions of Prussia, she might at once defy
her foreign enemies and find the solution of her most
serious domestic difficulties.
The Post considers it is only a matter of hours to deter-
mine wLen the first shot will be fired.
London, England, 1866-06-11

THE ftEronsi BILL.

The Tines urges the opposition to show to-night that
they remain true to their past history, and allow nothing
to escape the ordeal of their criticism, and where need is,
of their attack. To see a decision on the government pro-
posal of a 71. borough franchise go by default
would be a matter of regret to all who believe in repre-
sentative government. Our contemporary then proceeds
to detail the reasons which appear to it to preponderate in
favour of a rating qualification in lieu of an annual rental,
and to condemn the proposed repeal of the rating clauses.
With regard to the prospects of the bill, our contempt,.
racy is less confident than formerly, though it is
still of opinion that it can " scarcely " become
law this session, and that this session is "pro-
bably " too far advanced to allow a reform bill to be
passed.
The Post protests against references being made so fre-
quently to Lord Derby's bill. What is suggested by a con-
servative administration is not now the question. The
government bill is no measure at all, and before the week
is oat this must be made clear to the government.
The Herald males an extraordinary attempt to institute
an analogy between Count Bismarck and Mr. Gladstone.
Both have the same motive, personal ambition ; both have
the same aversion, and exhibit the same contempt, for
constitutional forms ; both rely upon the same weapon, an
appeal to democratic sentiment ; both use the same lan-
guage, that of habitual misrepresentation. Neither will
shrink from the supremest risk of national interests in
order to carry out hisown designs ; neither will abate one jot
of his pretensions in deference to the advice of friend or foe.
All parties may rest assured of this, that the reduction of
the franchise is Mr. Gladstone's sole object, and that what-
ever else may be abandoned, this proposal must be
adopted, or Mr. Gladstone will quit office, and that those
who have been induced to support him on the understand-
ing that the whole bill should be withdrawn will find they
have been instrumental in enacting its most objectionable
provisions. Is the Chancellor of the Exchequer as indis-
pensable to the people of England as Count Bismarck has
made himself to the Ring of Prussia? The Herald
appeals to every conservative member to attend in his
place to-night and every night on which the Reform Bill
shall be amongst the orders of the day. Thaw who desert
the cause of conservatism will be judged by their consti-
tuents.

The Tdepraph speaks of the 71. franchise as the cen-
tral proposal of the bill. The division list will be the list
of the enemies and the friends of the people—the names
absent from it, without cause as imperative as death, will

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
(THIS DAY.)
We have a larger supply of beasts ; on the avenge prices
are better. There is a good demand for sizeable qualities,
but heavy beasts and inferior descriptions are not
dearer. There is scarcely any increase in the
supply of sheep ; it is, however, quite equal
to the demand. Trade is slow, but we cannot quote
lower. Lamb trade is dull, except for choicest
qualities. There is no alteration in the call trade. From
France and other countries there are 2,0'20 beasti, 7,350
sheep, 210 calves, and 80 pigs. From Norfolk and
Suffolk, 1,680 beasts ; and 390 from the northern and mid-
land counties.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. CARLYLE.

Mrs. Carlyle died on Saturday under very pecu-
liar circumstances. She was taking her usual drive in
Hyde-park about 4 o'clock, when her little favourite dog
which was running by the side of the brougham was run
over by a carriage. She was greatly alarmed though the
dog was not seriously hurt. She lifted the dog into the
carriage and the man drove on. Not receiving any call
or direction from his mistress as was usual, he stopped
the carriage and discovered her, as he thought, in a fit or
ill, and drove to St. George's Hospital, which was near at
hand. When there it was discovered that she must have
been dead some little time. Mrs. Carlyle's health had
been for several months feeble, but not in a state to ex.
cite anxiety or alarm. Mr. Carlyle is still in Scotland.

SIR HENRY STORKS AND MALTA.—Our readers
may perhaps have heard a report of Sir Henry Storks
having been appointed to Australia, and felt a pang of re-
gret at the possibility of there being any truth in the ru-
mour. We do not pretend to better information than our
neighbours ; but, judging simply from s letter received
from his excellency by the last Jamaica mail, we are led to
hope that the rumour is without foundation. Sir Henry
Storks writes :—" Remember me to all my colleagues in
the council, and to my friends. I wlah the Maltese to
know that I am very grateful for the proofs of sympathy
and confidence which they have given me, and my great
desire is to be back again among them."—Malta

THE FRANKFORT DIET.

At the meeting of the Federal Diet on Saturday
last, at Frankfort, the Austrian representative, in
voting for the reference of the Prussian proposi-
tion for federal reform, declared that Austria was
ready to discuss the question. Austria by the
initiative which she took in 1863 had already re-
cognised the necessity for reform, and she hoped
that Prussia would not withdraw from the obliga-
tion of stating her proposals as clearly as Austria
had done. When that was done Austria would
declare her opinion more explicitly. With re-
spect to the considerations preceding the Prus-
sian proposition Austria declared that article 11
of the Federal pact, and article 19 of the final
act granted equal protection to all the Confederate
States. These stipulations rigidly observed gave
full security to all the States, and it could not be
admitted that Prussia, as was stated in the consi-
derations preceding her proposition, had less
security than the other governments. The Em-
peror reiterated the declaration already made in
the note of March 31 that he would not disturb
the peace of Germany, and he expected an analo-
gous declaration to be made on the part of Prussia.
Confidence could only be re-established by making
respect for the laws of the Confederation the
supreme rule for all ; and out of that confidence
alone could they expect an advantageous result to
issue from their deliberations on the question of
federal reform.
The Prussian representative simply referred to
the considerations which preceded the proposal of

that State.
The Saxon deputy defended the Confederation
from the reproaches which had been cast upon it
while the Hanoverian deputy insisted on the ne-
cessity of maintaining peace in the Confederation.
The representatives of the other States of the
Confederation confined themselves to simply voting
for the reference of the Prussian proposal to a spe-
cial commission of nine members.

THE GERMAN QUESTION.
VIENNA, Aram 22.

It is stated that the ministers who have assem-
bled at Augsburg as representatives from some of
the middle States have agreed upon the following
points as the conditions upon which the Prussian
proposal for the reform of the Federal constitution
shall be discussed by the Federal Diet:—The dis-
armament of both the great German Powers ; the
question of the reform of the Federal constitution
to be kept distinct from the question of the
Duchies ; the question of a reform of the. Federal
pact to be discussed before the question of the con-
vocation of a German parliament.
Notwithstanding the telegraphic advice' from
Frankfort announcing the peaceful declarations
made by the great German Powers at the Federal
Diet, to-day's papers assert the present position of
affairs to be critical. They affirm that the Austrian
government, in its last despatch to Prussia, de-
manded that the disarmament should be mutual
r -

and simultaneous.

VIENNA, Aram 22, Evarrnw.

Unauthenticated war rumours are circulating,
and it is asserted that military measures have been
ordered by the government. These rumours have
created a panic among speculators.

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, Aram 21.

In to-day's sitting of the Federal Diet, the pro-
posal of Prussia for a reform of the Federal con-
stitution was referred, by a majority of 14, to a
special committee of nine members. The Austrian
representative made a declaration of a peaceful
character.

MUNICH, APRIL 22.

The Bayerische Zeittoig, in an unofficial portion of
its columns, states that there is no longer any dan-
ger of war breaking out in Germany, as Austria has
made a modified proposal for disarmament, which
has been accepted by Prussia.

DANTZIC, Apsn. 21.

A meeting of the Liberal Association of this
town was held here yesterday, when resolutions
were passed condemning the policy of Prussia.
A popular meeting has been held at Erlangen, at
which resolutions were adopted against war.

BRUSSELS, APRIL 22.

The Inclipendana Beige of this evening publishes
a telegram from Berlin stating that the Prussian
reply to the last Austrian note was despatched to
Vienna yesterday evening. According to the same
journal this reply declares that the Prussian arma-
ments which had been caused by the concentration
of Austrian troops on the frontiers will cease when
the concentrated Austrian forces shall have been
broken up. " Prussia will disarm in the same
manner and step by step as Austria disarms."

AUGSBURG, APRIL 22 (Bynum)).

Ministers from nine German states have arrived
here to take part in the conference. There have
been two sittings to-day, and a third will be held
to-morrow. At the first sitting it was unanimously
resolved to assist in the work of reforming the
Federal constitution. After the meeting had ad-
journed the Prussian proposals for reform were
communicated to the members of the conference,
and they thereupon immediately held a second
sitting.

COMMEMORATION OP SHAKESPEARE'S BIRTHDAY.
—Shakespeare's birthday, April Zi, was honoured to-day
by members of the dramatic profession, who proceeded in
large numbers to their Royal College at Maybury, near
Woking. It happens also to be the anniversary of the
birthday of the late Mr. T. P. Cooke, who provided by his
will for a banquet, "at which the master, wardens, and
members of the council shall preside, and to which the
whole of the pendonets, and any supporters and patrons of
I the drams and well-wiahers of the college, shall be invited."
