LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S TRLEGRAMS.)

TURKEY.
CONSTANTIN OPLE, JUNE 21.
The Levant Herald announces that the supple-
mentary loan of £2,000,000, authorised at the time
of the negotiation of the late loan, will shortly be
issued for the purpose of withdrawing the base
currency from circulation.
Four frigates and 50,000 rifles have been ordered
by the Turkish Government in England.

CRACOW, JUNE 20.

The Warsaw correspondent of the Czas says
that the Poles will not consent to an armistice
except on three condittons:—

1. That the armistice shall extend on both sides
over the whole of Poland as it existed before the
first partition.
2. That a plenipotentiary from the National
Government be admitted as representing vile inte-
rests of Poland at the congress.

3. That a national diet, including delegates from
the Polish provinces as well as the kingdom, be
allowed to assemble, under the guarantee, not only
of Europe, but of a national Polish army occupy-
ing all the provinces.

Unless these conditions are complied with, adds
the correspondent, the Poles will fight to the last.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE,

The Union Company's steamer Saxon, arrived
here this morning. Her dates are Table Bay, 21st
ult. ; Helena, 30th ult. ; and Ascension, 2d inst.
She brings 75 passengers, among whom are Colonel
Freeze, C.B. ; Captain Jamieson, R.N. ; Captain
Herberden, R.M.; Lieutenant Bryon, and Mr.
George Fitzgrove, Narcissus.

The leading event at the Cape during the month
was the rejoicings in honour of the marriage of
the Prince of Wales.

The 15th of May was proclaimed a public holi-
day, when the event was celebrated with great
eclat. At Cape Town a royal salute was fired at
sunrise, and throughout the day the bells of St.
George's Cathedral were rung. There was a grand
public procession at one o'clock, after which the
military, sailors, police, and the population in gene-
ral were entertained at dinner on the parade. This
was followed by rural games, and at three p.m•
there was a public banquet, under the presidency of
the Governor.

The Colonial Secretary introduced his annual
budget in the Cape Parliament on the 9th May.
The estimated expenditure of the year fails short of
the estimated revenue by £95,000. To meet the
cost of services not included in the estimates and to
defray temporary loans, the Government proposes
to impose additional taxes to the amount of
£150,000. Bills had already been introduced for
that purpose, but their fate was considered doubt-
ful, the general feeling of the colonists being against
any heavy increase of taxation in the present de-
pressed state of the colony.
A strong party were in support of a motion to be
made on the day the Saxon sailed, that the time
had arrived when the introduction of a Responsible
Government was expedient and desirable.
In the evening the Government gardens were il-
luminated, and a grand display of fireworks took
place.
'throughout the colony in all the various town-
ships, villages, hamlets, and eveti solitary farm re-
sidences in the thinly-populated districts, there
were similar rejoicings in honour of the Royal
marriage.

The Government had declined to appoint a board
to supervise the management and construction of
rail ways.

The Assembly bad refused to renew the Public
Roads Act. The road department will, therefore,
be closed.

All was quiet on the frontier, but cattle stealing
by the natives was still prevalent.

The Saxon made the passage out in 31 days 14
hours, and home in 31 days 15 hours.
