CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

By her Majesty's brig Frolic we have adviees
Dos the Cape to May 13, and by the Arid from Port Elisa-
beth lo May 9.
The Earl of Ilardwicke, from London, with the newly
appointed biehop, arrived May 7.
We collect from the accounts from beyond the Kei, pub-
lished by the King Willioo, s Town Coulte, that the KaMrs
are now heartily oohamed of themeelves for having given
heed to the prophet, and sacrificed their cattle and prcapects
for the winter in reliance upon his predictions. A great
meeting was held on the 27th of April in Kreli's country, at
which many hard words were exchanged, each man being
anxious to show that he had protested from the first ageing
the general deluebni. Thu ptophet was represented by ono
Detrain, who evaded the troublesome questions put to him
by the announcement that " the epirita underground were
angry and would minim no more question," a reply which
wee culaidered by no mama satiafactory. The chiefs were
gloomy, end the Cemiecin people furious. Concurrently with
this internal dereittinfaction an improvement in the con-

duct of the Kailirs towards Europeans wan observable.
" Civility and a willingness to oblige," says the local autho-
rity already quoted, "characterise those who were formerly
impertinent and disposed to rob. Cattle were asked of the
traders, but we had not heard of any being stolen. Alto-
gether we think we may say that Knife tribe at present pre-
sents no obstacle to the continuance of peace, and all over
the frontier our prospects arc perhaps as blight is they have
been since the sottlernof 1820 arrived in this whiny." There
was great commotion in the Orange Free State. The Presi-
dent had issued a proclamation, setting forth that tire com-
mando of Pretoria had crossed the Vaal River from the
South African republic, and invaded the territory of the
Orange Free State, which wee accordingly plated under
martial law. The accounts of the movements of Pretoritte
arc very contradictory. It we most generally believed,
however, that his forces had crossed the Vaal to unite with
those of the so-celled rebel Otero.

ADMISSION OF JEFFS INTO PARLIAMENT.

DEPUTATION TO LORD P 1
(THIS DAY.)

This afternoon a very numerous deputation, eons-
pow] of immix rs of the House of Commons favourable to
the admission of Jews into parliament, waited upon Lord
Palmerston at Cambridge House, Piccadilly, for the purpose
of formally making known to his lordship the result of the
meeting held at the King's Arms on Thursday last.
The deputation, which was headed by Mr. Herman,
the chairman of that meeting, numbered between fifty
and sixty members. It will be remembered that
the meeting. decided in favour of supporting Lord
John Russell', motion for leave to bring in a bill to
amend the let and Sad Vic., c. 10R, so as to enable the oath
of abjuration to be administered to members who wished it
without the words "On the true faith of a Christian." The
meeting also unanimously adopted • resolution declaring—
" That the fact that in the Late division in the House of
Lords, all the members of the Cabinet did not support the
Oaths Bill, is calculated to cause deep pain and disappoint-
ment to the liberal party." Reportas wore in attendance
to-day at Lord Paltnerston's from all the daily papers but,
"by his lonlsbip's express directions, the gentlemen of the
press were excluded from the interview."
At the clefs of the interview, the member repaired to
Niteroi/Ird, and there deliberated upon the results of the
visit to the presider.
