LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S ETLEGRAMS.)

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE,
PLYMOUTH, August 22.
The screw steamer Indiana put in here this
morning to land passengers and to coal. She left
Calcutta May 19, Madras June 2, Cape of Good
Hope July 13, and crossed the Equator July 28.
The Indiana has 100 passengers, and 30 military
invalids and time-expired men from India, with
10 passengers and a mail from the Cape. She
had also a full general cargo, principally saltpetre,
seeds, cotton, silk, and sugar.
Her news from the Cape is three weeks later
than that brought by the last mail stermer
arrived. Trade at the C ipe was dull. The
alarm raised on the frontier of an intention on the
part of the Krelis to cross tha Bashee was proved
to have been groundless. Efforts were being made
to discover the author of the rumour.

Traders and travellers passing through the Canda
country represented the country along the whole
coast line to be in a disturbed state.
The tribes are said to be more insolent than
usual, and several councils had been held amongst
the chiefs. A war amongst the natives in that
locality was expected.

Sir Walter Currie had returned to Grahamstown
from the Transkei.

The embodiment of, the irregular horse had been
abandoned, and the conditions upon which grants
of Transkeian territory were to be made were found
to be too high, and were to be modified if the
scheme was continued ; but it was considered doubt-
ful whether the territory would be given out for
occupation.

Parliament was to be prorogued the day the
Indiana sailed, Its removal to Graham's Town
was considered unnecessary, and it waa doubted
that the experiment would be repeated. 'The pro-
posal of the Diamond Company to esteblish mail
steam communication with Port Elizabeth was
agreed to without a division, but only on its con-
taining a condition to call at Table or Simon's
Bay also.

The proposal of the Union Company to extend
mail commuuication to the Mauritius was rejected.
Her Majesty's steamer Hornet left on the 11th
July for Portsmouth.

The Indiana's mail has been landed and for-
warded from here by to-day's mail train.

LISBON, AuG,l5.

Don Eusebius Page, and Don Innocencio Roldan
have arrived in Li.bon to treat on the part of ;,he
Spanish Government respecting the frontier points
where junctions should be made between the Por-
tuguese and Spanish Rtilways.

The Marquis da Tagliacarne has presented his
credentials as representative of the King of Italy.
The present charge d'affaire, the Count de la Tour,
will soon quit this capital.
The Federal frigate Niagara is in the Tagus. It
said her mission is to intercept a steamer, bought
at Liverpool, ostensibly for the navigation between
Lisbon and the Portuguese possessions, but in reality
for a Confederate cruiser. The Portuguese papers
further assert that the steamer will not sail as the
intentions of the Fedorals have transpired.
The reclamation of the Spanish Government
respecting the capture of the ship Virgen del Re-
fugio is not likely to cause any serious difficulty
(since announced by telegraph to have been set-
tled). It appears that this vessel was a slaver, and
the proofs of her delinquencies were overwhelming,
and she was e3ptnred within the Portuguese waters,
a point on which no doubt exists.

VOLUNTEERS.

THE GRAND VOLUNTEER REVIEW AND
SHAM FIGHT AT LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, Saturday.
Liverpool has to-day presented an unusual scene
of animation and gaiety consequent on a splendid
volunteer review and sham fight on the race course
at Aintree ; his worship the mayor having invited
all the volunteer corps in Liverpool to take part in
the interesting proceedings. From the moment his
worship announced his liberal intention, the idea
was taken up by all classes of the inhabitants, and
to-day the town is marked by a holiday almost
general, the offices, shops, and other general places
of business having been closed at one o'clock this
afternoon. The various corps, which consisted of
the Ist Administrative Brigade of Lancashire Artil-
lery Volunteers, under the command of Lieut.-Col.
Sir William Richmond Brown, Bart.; the 4th Bri-
gade of Lancashire Artillery Volunteers, Major
Melly; Bth Brigade of Lancashire Artillery Volun-
teers, Lieut.-Col. Clay; 11th Lancashire Volunteers,
2d Administrative Brigade ditto, Ist Battalion of
Lancashire Engineer Volunteers, 2d ditto, and Ist,
13th, 54th, sth, 421 15. h, 51st, 64th, and 80th
Battalions of Lancashire Rifle Volunteers, began
moving through the town, headed by their bands,
to the Exchange station of the Lancashire and York-
shire Railway, from 'whence they were all conveyed
to the Aintree Racecourse, where the review and
sham fight were to take place, at the sole expense
of his worship the mayor. About four o'clock all
the men had assembled on the ground, to the num-
ber of between 4000 and 4500, and were.distributed
into three brigades, the first being under the com-
mand of Li( ut.-Col. Sir W. R. Brown, Bart.; the
the second brigade under the command of Lieut.•
Col. Waver; apd the third brigade under the com-
mand of Lieut.-Col. Tinley..
The day being delightfully fine the attendance
was very numerous, Liverpool pouring out its
thousands cf all classes. The approaches to the
railway station were most inconveniently crowded,
whilst every style of vehicle appeared to
have been brought into requisition to convey the
multitude who chose to travel by the ordinary high-
way. About four o'clock the course at Aintree
presented a most brilliant appearance. The Grand
Stand was densely crowded with a most fashionable
attendance of ladies and gentlemen, whilst the mis-
cellaneous company in different parts of the course
could be counted by thousands.
Sir Charles Wetherell and Col. M'Murdo, the
reviewing officers, attended by their staff, on com-
ing on to the grcuod were met by the usual military
salute. The review then commenced, followed by
the sham fight, which was of an exceedingly inte-
resting character. At the close of the proceedings
the various corps marched off the course to Liver-
pool, accocepanied by their bands.—Observer.
