THE CAPE NEWEL--(FROM. A CORRESPONDENT).--
SisauLAß CONTRETEMPS.—On Saturday a Noble and Gal-
lant Lord, whose great services in India were certainly not
duly recognised by the late Government, was about to pay
his usual visit to the Senior United Service Club, when he
observed several of its members at the door in animated
conversation. The Noble Lord's approach was observed, and
occasioned a sudden interruption to the conversation, and
he was asked if he had heard of the glorious manner in
which Sir Harry Smith had be- Gough'd the Whip ? He
said he had not. The facts were, in a few words, given to
him. The eye of the gallant and noble officer was lighted
up with the fire of military enthusiasm, and, taking off his
hat, he gave several hearty " hurrahs." His hat nearly
brushed a gentleman who was passing. That gentleman was
—Earl Grey. He must have felt the cause of the gallant
officer's enthusiasm.—Herald. [lt is scarcely necessary to
observe that the gallant nobleman above alluded to was no
ther than Lord Gough, Viscount of Goojerah.—ED. Sun.]
ALLOWANCES TO THE STRIKE HANDS.—The strike
hands (engineers) were on Saturday paid their ninth week's
strike pay, at the usual rate, viz., 15s. for society, and 10s.
for non-society hands. The moulders, who possess but a
small accumulated fund, have hitherto paid their strike
hands the sum provided by the rules of their society, viz.,
ss. per week; but, finding it impossible that they could con-
tinue to exist on such an allowance, their executive com-
mittee has called for a day's pay per week, to be contributed
by every member in work, for the purpose of enabling them
to increase the strike allowance to 10s., an arrangement
which will be brought in operation next week. The labourers,
of whom but few additional have been employed during the
week, shared less on Saturday than in any previous week,

EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT AT THE FoREIGN-
oFncE.—A very extraordinary accident, which might have
been attended with serious consequences, occurred a few
days since at the Foreign-office. The new Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, the Earl of Malmesbury, had made
an appointment to meet his Excellency the Austrian Mi-
nister at three o'clock in the afternoon. His Excellency
arrived at the hour appointed, but the Earl of Malmesbury
having been unexpectedly engaged for some time previous,
requested Count Buol to oblige him by calling again at
four o'clock. In the interval between three and four the
whole of the ceiling of the room in which the Noble Earl
would have received the Austrian Minister fell with a tre-
mendous crash, covering the tables, and chairs, and floor of
the apartment with the debris of the plaster, which was
between three and four inches thick. The accident occa.
sioned much alarm, but, as the room was unoccupied at the
time, fortunately no person suffered any personal injury. It
is understood that the whole of the buildings on the south
side of Downing-street are in a very insecure condition, and
quite unfit for Government offices.

THE OUTWARD CAPE MAIL.—PLYMOUTH, MARCH
14.—The General Screw Steam-Shipping Company's mail-
packet Hellespont, Captain Watts, is appointed to sail on
Tuesday, the 16th inst., at 2 P.M., with mails for Sierra
Leone, St. Vincent, and the Cape of Good Hope. She has
a full cargo of British manufactured goods, 50,000/. in
specie for payment of the troops, jewellery, plate for General
Cathcart, the newly-appointed Governor in place of Sir
Harry Smith, &c. During her stay in the docks she has
thoroughly overhauled, and under the superintendence of
Captain Watts, she has been completely fitted by Mr. Gor-
don, sailmaker to the Customs, with a complete suit of sails
on the plan of the yacht America. By this arrangement
considerable additional speed is expected to be obtained, and
her progress down channel justified the expectation. She
left the docks at 6 A.M. on Thursday, and arrived in the
Sound at a quarter past 12 o'clock on Friday. The last voy-
ago out and home of the Hellespont was the most rapid yet
made. She left Plymouth on the 15th of November and
returned on the 30th of January. Her outward passage, in-
cluding stoppages, was done in 35 days 9 hours; homeward,
32 days 18 hours. She was exactly seven days at the Cape.
FATAL ACCIDENT FROM AN INFURIATED BULLOCK.
—On Saturday morning about nine o'clock as:a large number
of foreign beasts, just arrived in London, were being driven
towards the lairs in St. John-street-road, near the Angel,
one of the bullocks attacked an old woman who keeps as
apple stall, and so seriously injured her by butting at her
that she was obliged to be removed to a neighbouring sur-
geon's. It was a long time before the beast could be made
to desist from his attack. The woman died in the course
of the night.

vernment has appointed a Lieutenant of Police (Greif) to be
stationed in London, for the purpose of watching over the
