THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

-41.---

The Union Company's steamer Cambrian arrived
in Plymouth yesterday, having left the Cape on the
15th of March.

The Cape Argus contains the following heads of

news :

" There is no political news of importance. The
Eastern Province members are much annoyed at the
Governor for convening Parliament again at Cape
Town, and threaten to obstruct every measure that
is brought forward, in order to force the Western
party and the Home Government to agree to
separation.

"An affray has taken place in Kafirland, near the
Bashee, between a party of the armed mounted
police and a body of Tambookies. Four of the
Tambookies were killed. Rumours that Kreli is
persistently endeavouring to induce the various
native tribes, both within and beyond the colony,
to unite with him in an effort to regain by force the
whole of the country he formerly occupied, and a
portion of which was recently restored to him by
the High Commissioner, continue to be received
from British Kaffraria, but not much reliance is
placed upon them.

" The rumour that the Honie Government con-
templated the conversion of Kaffraria Proper into a
penal settlement has been authoritatively denied by
the High Commissioner. The Portuguese Govern-
ment are establishing a convict station in the Mozam-
bique country.

" Tenders for the construction of railways from
Cape Town to Malmesbury, from Cape Town to
Worcester, and from Port Elizabeth to Graham's
Town have been called in for the colony. Tenders
for rails, bridges, and such like have been called
for in England.

" The Wynberg Railway is worked very satisfac-
torily. The passenger traffic upon it is very great.
All differences between the Wynberg Company and
the Wellington Company regarding the terms of the
lease have been settled provisionally, subject to
approval by the London directors of the latter
Company.
" The Union company's steamer Saxon arrived
with the February mails on the 11th inst., in 28
days 16 hours from Plymouth. A complimentary
dinner to the officers of the company was given in
the Commercial Exchange yesterday evening.
" A claim for salvage in the case of the derelict
ship Scindia has been heard before the Vice-Admi-
ralty Court. The captain of the Alicia Annie, one of
the salvors, was accused of pillaging the derelict.
£2,000 had been tendered. The Court allowed
£l,OOO to the Aminta, but disallowed entirely the
claim of the Alicia Annie.

" This morning the nomination of a mem-
ber to represent Cape Town in the House of
Assembly, in the stead of Mr. Advocate Cole, took
place. Mr. M. J. Louw and Mr. J. A. H. Wicht
were nominated. The show of hands was in favour
of Mr. Wicht. A poll was demanded on behalf of
Mr. Louw."
